Farmer Lost Eighty Hogs by Ill

1T doesn't pay to incur the enmity
of a boy" said a Kansas City man
the other day, relating the misdeeds of
his early youth. Il remember how
took revenge on farmer whom /

large dog which 1 greatly admired,
but which he sadly mistreated by starV-
ing and beating it. l used to coax the
dog to go hunting with me, and as l
had no gun, his aid in running down
rabbits was very material. One day
the farmer caught me hunting with his
dog. He seized me by the neck and
shook me roughly, telling me that if he
caught me hunting with his dog again
he would break every bone in my body
and stamp me into the earth. | felt
deeply indignant. l planned to be
avenged by some method which would
not get me into more trouble. Within
the next two weeks my tOrmentOr lost
eighty fine hogs from cholera. l had
got satisfaction. From the pen of
neighbor whose pigs had the plague l
had picked up two half-eaten ears Of
corn which l threw into the feed lot
of my enemy and infected his whole
herd. 1t was a devilish deed, and even
before the pigs began to die 1 had re-
pented. A boys wrath is as terrible
as a mans, and he has not the wisdom
Of years to help him control it. Eighty
fine hogs was the price that farmer
paid for promising to massacre a boy
for making friends with his mistreated

st. Petersburg dispatches say that
through the disappearance of the jour

and real brains Of the Father Gapon
movement, the disclosure has been
made that the moderate labor organiZa-
ton, which Gapon established in st.

imperial manifsto of Oct. 80, 1905, was
subsidized by the government. Russian
officials supplied the funds for the rent

Radical circles are elated over the
revelation, which was made in an open
letter by the president of the Putilof
section of the organization, complain
ing that $4,000 of the funds furnished
minister of commerce, had not reached
the treasury. The socialists claim that
this spells the downfall of the conserv-
ative opposition TO the full revolution

1t is now shown that Gapon really
played minor role in the formidable

Matushensky was the director of the
campaign which mystified both the po-
lice and the old-time revolutionists.
Matushensky was the author of the

men were marching to the winter pal

Gently has perfected the model of a boat
motor which he believes Will eventually

sists of a pipe running through the vessel
lengthwise below the water line and open
at both ends. Attached to the pipe about
one-third from the after end is a cylinder
of the same diameter as the pipe and
about three times as long. The bottom
of this cylinder is attached to the main
pipe by a pipe curving toward the stern.
The cylinder, in operation. is charged with
gas vaporized from kerosene. When ex-
ploded by sparker the force is exerted
through the pipe at the stern of the boat.

time causing vacuum at the forward
end of the main pipe into which the wat

three cylinders, two for driving and one
for reversing. The explosions can be reg

Rheumatism is disease of the blood,

rheumatism lies in purifying and en-
