Fertile Sections of the Southwest,
Where Land Sells for SIS and

?
Where Land Sells for SIS and
Rents for SIS Per Acre
One of the remarkable things about
Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana is the fact that cleared
land rents for S. per acre cash, and
can be bought for $3.50 to SIS per
acre. 1t costs from SO to $40 an acre
TO clear it. Other improvements nee
sary are slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces a bale of cotton per acre,
, worth S45 or 500. This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields four to six cuttings,
ton to the cutting, and brings $40
to $40 per ton.
In other sections of these States,
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill land is especially adapted to
Land is very cheap, S. to $40 per
acre; improved farms $40, SIS to SIS

Southern Wit.

In the early days of the civil war,
Says Mrs. ID. G. Wright in "A Southern
Girl in 81" many northern senators
were especially violent in their de-
nunciation of the seceeding states, oc-
casionally much to the amusement of
their listeners. On one occasion a
western senator ended a speech by de-
claring that were certain threatened
events to occur, he would leave this
country and join some other nation.
Even the Comanches he would prefer
to this government in such a case"
Senator Wigfall of Texas, rose in an
swer, and stated in a tone of grave
remonstrance that he trusted the SEN
ator would consider well before he
took such a step, for the Comanches
had already suffered too much from
contact with the whites"

BY Which Messages Can Be Sent in
Privacy When People Are
Close BY.

The secrephone Is the whispering
telephone. A message can be whispered
into il so that a person standing but
yard away cannot hear what is being
said, white every word is correctly
transmitted TO the receiver at the other
end Of the line, a mile away or more.
For this To- DE done the massage must
be actually whispered II spoken more
loudly, of course, the speaker can be
heard more than a yard away from the
transmitting instrument. Properly
used, however, message can be sent
in privacy even with people quite close.
AS presen. experience goes, it requires
some little practice TO pitch the voice
correctly SO as TO get the best results
with the faintest whisper. But the
lesson is not difficult to learn. People
with high pitched voices will undoubt-
eddy make themselves heard more dis
tinctly at the other end of the line
with less noise at the transmitting end
than is possible for those with low
pitched voices. The instrument is
claimed TO be practically imperishable
anu CdnuOt SeJ OuI vi OluSi Win Olui-
nary use. People that are a little deaf
and cannot hear with ordinary tele-
phones can hear quite distinctly when
a secrephone is used. A bad or indis-
tinct line is said also to be made quite
clear under the most adverse circum-
stances when this magical instrument
is employed; the volume of sound on
trunk lines and long-distance tele-
phones is increased threefold and the
troubles caused by induction and cross
circuits are largely overcome. Further
more, ID being small of size and light
attachment to any telephone, and thus
the need for the stuffy telephone boxes
Is obviated.

ALFALFA FOR WILD ANIMALS
Raised in Yellowstone Park to Serve
as Winter Feed for Deer
and Sheep.

Raising alfalfa to furnish winter
feed for wild animals is proving a
great success in the Yellowstone ma
tional Park, according to Superintend-
ent Pitcher in a report just issueI.
One hundred tons of fine hay were
raised in the government field near the
Gardiner arch and stacked near the
soldiers quarters.
Superintendent Pitcher says that
three years ago a deer was seldom seen
in the vicinity of Mammoth hot
springs and as an experiment a few
bales of alfalfa hay were scattered
around near the parade ground. The
next day a dozen blacktail deer mace
their appearance, the number steadily
increased and now comprises over 100.

DIED HERo's DEATH
Made Splendid Defense Of His Resi-
dence at Baku.

Adamoff was an Armenian hero OF
Baku. The author of a recent volume
on that city has this to say of him.
"Adamoff was the crack rife shot in
Baku, one of the wealthiest Armeni-
ans engaged in the oil business, and
his residence in Arnianskia street was
one of the palaces of the city, so far
as the magnificence of the oriental
decoration was concerned. He stood
three days siege and shot no fewer
than forty Tartars, who, on the last
day, formed heap of dead at the cor
ner Of the street. Adamoff was kept
supplied with cartridges by his young
son, who got shot in that service.
And then Adamoff himself was hit on
the balcony OF his house, whence he
had so long defended II. Receiving a
shot in the shoulder, the deadly
marksman dropped his rifle on to the
railing of balcony, but, nerved with
the courage Of despair and determined
to sell his life still more dearly, he
continued shooting. His movements
