Refused to Take Her Seat.

After the second repuse she refused to
take seat and remained standing near the
aisle down which the President would pass
in leaving the church. Secret Service Man
Connell took his stand beside her and
checked several other attempts which she
made to approach the Presidents pew.
When Connell took Miss Cases hand in an
attempt to quiet her she put her hand over
his, saying:
II don't like the sin, but I do like the
sinner"
She remained standing during the entire
service, and as she chatted and laughed
softly most of the time little attention was
given to the sermon by the worshipers In
that part Of the church. AS the President
rose to leave the church she tried to get
nearer the aisle. Connell got in front of
her and three others of the President s
guard surrounded her. They pushed her
back as gently as possible. but she was
within few feet of the President when he
passed down the aisle
Mr.. President. Mr.. President, President
Roosevelt" she cried; won't you speak to
me mOment?"

WOMAN STARTED A ROW
CALLED TO SEE PRESIDENT AND
/. MR.. LoNGwoRTH.

dispatch from Oyster Bay L. l., last
night says While President Roosevelt and
his family were attending Christ's Episco-
pal Church this morning the services were
disturbed and considerable excitement was
caused by the attempts which Miss Eliza
beth Case, or Esacasil, as she calls herself,
made to speak with the President. Miss
Case Is the woman who has been trying for
month to see Mrs. Roosevelt on some
mysterious mission. Today her dress was
rumpled and her watch chain broken In a
struggle with secret service men who tried
to keep her at distance from the Pres
ident and his family. She was not arrested.
1t has been Miss Cases custom ever since
she followed the President to Oyster Bay,
over a month ago, to attend church each
Sunday and to attempt to get seat near
the pew occupied by the Presidents family.
Today she came early and took seat d.
rectly in the rear of the Presidents pew.
James Duffey, one of the ushers, requested
her to change her seat, and when she re-
fused he conducted her as gently as possible
to the rear Of the church. Miss Case alleges
that he handled her so roughly that her
waist was nearly torn from her back. When
the President came into the church Miss
Case made no attempt to speak to him, but
later walked up the center aisle OF the
church and tried to take a seat next to the
pew occupied by the Longworths. She was
again conducted to the rear of the church
by an usher,

When only small quantities of milk
are handled, or the separator is not
used, 1t is very essential to cool the
milk In cold water before putting
away for the cream to rise. The rea-

milk multiply very rapidly unless the
temperature Of the milk is lowered
quickly, and the milk is less apt to
keep sweet as long as it would other

What is more pitiful than neglected
old age? People don't change in min
ute or an hour, and unless they are
utterly helpless they are going to re-
tain some of the ideas and ways of
their more active days. Habits chain
Is strong. 1t Is easy In these busy,
tired days to be careless In ones per-
sonal appearance and dress, but 1t is
worth while to do the best you can, for
loose, slouchy habits are wonderfully
easy to fall into and just as hard to
overcome.
An inspection of the different crop
totals and averages covering period
of years forces the conviction that
there must be woeful amount of
shoddy, shabby, slipshod farming to &C
count for the amazingly low averages
that are credited to the different crop
products. 1t simply means that there
is big niger In the agricultural
woodpile, and It is with a view Of get

funds and efforts Of the agricultural
department Is expended.
Among the worst kind Of people
that can come into community are
the migratory class or those that do
not possess or have any desire to

These people have nothing themselves,
have nothing to give to the community
and In the end carry away the little
they may have earned to spend else
where. Their home life is miserable
makeshift, and the children are poorly
clothed and fed. Their motto reads,

DOES 1T PAY TO GRIND CORNs
During the past nine years Profess
or Henry Of the Wisconsin experiment
station has conducted careful series
Of experiments with a view to deter
mining the advantage of ground corn
as fattening ration over shelled corn.
His findings. published In recent bull
letin, seem to prove quite conclusively
that the advantage In grinding seems to
depend, first, almost entirely upon the
prevailing price of corn at the time
the feeding is done and, secondly, upon
the cost of grinding. He concludes his
report with table showing the saw
Ing from grinding the corn when II Is
worth % cents per bushel and at reg
ular intervals up to IS cents. He finds
that when corn Is worth % cents per

which, though possessing an innate ca

nothing but weeds, exhausting Its own

cases the cost of reclamation Is four
