The Thouaht of Yosemite.

The god of things as they should be
mean that his worshipers-whose
lives are spent In the pursuit OF a lost
chord, q missing harmony between
themselves and things not themselves
should contemplate Yosemite from
the standpoint of its meadows, says
Arthur Cotton, in The Reader. Its
spirit is defined, human. sufficient
sheltered from high, desolate mi
Sierran ambitions. The thought OF
the Canyon Of the Colorado is COM
pact OF color and immensely; that OF
Yosemite is not of size, but OF pro-
portion and charm-white water Gid
ing in the shadow, still water rejecting
blue; OF groves and many colored now
ers In level fields; and the right rela-
ton of all these to the smooth gray
domes, and those framing walls, whose
height Is not for terror, but 20 make
the pines that feather their Keen
edges look delicate az ferns.

Remarkable Modesty.

A general who does not want pro-

The man is Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell,

present position some months ago
much to his regret, he publicly de-
clares az he had some work he pre-
ferred to do at the Fort Leavenworth

by at least two other of1cers-Gens,

FARM SEPARATOR CREAM.
Can BE Delivered In Good Order by
4. Proper Care.

The chief difficulty in the way OF
success In all creameries where the
cream is collected instead of the milk
Is the difficulty of getting the cream
delivery in a sweet, clean favored
condition. Patrons who deliver milk
know that 1t must be delivered sweet
daily, or at least six times a week In
warm weather, in order to have 1t In
a condition ft to make fine butter
On the other hand, cream win remain
sweet for a longer time than milk, ana
most persons consider that It does
no harm II the e sours-in fact
It pays better to have 1t sour, because
they receive a higher test for such
cream from those creameries using
the oil test. This is the chief reason
why the oil test should be discarded
In favor of the Babcock, which latter
test places a premium on sweet cream
| In order to get sweet cream for
creameries the two main requisites
are to keep everything clean and to
keep the "a as cold as possible I'M
til 1t Is delivered at the creamery
The FIRST requisite should be easy, but
many persons fail here for the same
reason that an old bachelor failed In
getting good results in his cooking by
following recipes in cookbooks. When
some one asked him IL he had ever
tried any of the recipes for cooking
he said he had tried a good many OF
them, but had good results.
When asked why, he said they all be
gan in the same way, take a clean
DISH and he couldn't do that very
handily, consequently he gave up re-
ferring to cookbooks. The second
requisite is gotten by having on hand
a supply of ice or cold water. Ordin,
arily each and every patron ought to
have a supply of ice for cooling
cream. The subject may be summar.
ized in the following, as presented by
Prof. Dean in the Canadian Dairy.
man:
Frst-Clean the pals, cans and
separator daily or twice daily.
Second-Cool cream to SO degrees

Third-Have rich cream testing not
less than 25 to 35 per cent. fat.
Fourth-Fresh cream should not
be added to older cream until after II

times a week in warm weather. The

The Captain Of Thirteen
By JOHN AUSTIN SCHETTY

1t was politics, purely! That Is to
say, Williams figured 1t out that Pen
field was backed by political influence
in his fight for the captaincy Of Thir-
teen.
You see, Thirteen was an inipor-
tant station down in the heart OK the
city. There was a certain prestige at
tached to the c~aptaincy there tina any
man in the service might envy. Will
liams had won his place by hard work
and a record Is a fire fighter secon md to

Penfield, on the other hand, was a
comparatively new nan His house,
Twenty-Five, was a suburban station,
situated in that part of the city where
the streets ran into lanes and fields.
And then came the memorable fire
at the old arsenal. 1t was a wild
night in January and about IL, when
the gong sen Williams and his mer
tearing into the night.
The wind was blowing a perfect gale
which whipped the flames to their tasl
of destruction as though the arsena
were built of wood, instead OF bricl
and stone.
Williams, in obedience to orders
had old Thirteen hauled over to pro
tect the nearby hotel. Then. while
the others fixed her up to the hydrant
he himself went into the place.
Stepping into the elevator he wen

The Busy Little Bee.

The commercial statistics bearing
upon the subject eloquently answer
the question: How doth the little
busy bee improve each shining hour!"
She improves them, early and late,
in garnering the sweets Of buds and
flowers, and the sum total Of her gar
nering, 1t is evident, forms no mean
item in the worlds affairs. Germany
leads with 1910, 900 hives and 10000
tons of honey last year. Spain Is q
good second, with 1880, 900 hives and
5000 tons of honey. AustriarHun-
gary comes close thereafter with l.
$50, 900 hives and $4,000 tons Of un-
~adulterated sweetness. France sup
plies $1,000 tons, and Russian bees
are credited with 900 tons. The last
prompts the thought that If only po-
Htical hornets were honey gatherers.
etc, etc. Despite the lapse OF n
turtles the historic honey OF Mount
Hymettus," celebrated in Grecian
lore. is still on the market of to-day
and from 80, 900 bee hives Greece pro-
duced last year 1,400 tons of honey.

AT the meeting Of the Maryland
and Delaware fruit growers held at
Chestertown, Md, last week. the
question of growing tomatoes was
discussed from several stand points,
and the general opinion was that
the contract system was not the
most beneficial to the grower; but
that tomatoes should be sold on the
open market, the packer paying Tor
what he gets and by the basket.
It was stated that eight dollars per
ton was the general rate OF the con-
tracts being made in Maryland and
Delaware, but even at this price
the convention considered it better
for farmers to grow for the open
market.

THE brute, who attempted hor-
rible crime on a respected young
LADY, of Milford, is now in Dover
iail, l,awaiting the punishment which
will surely be meeted out to the full
est extent by the courts OF Della
ware. That all of his class, both
black and white, should be put be-
yond the pale OF any possible repe-
tition of such a crime, all citizens
agree; but death fails to have the
deterring effect as an example to
the brutes who assault women, and
for that reason some more effective
methods must be provided. In our
opinion, and we believe it is rapidly
becoming the opinion of all who
reason, the most effectual method
would be to castrate all who at
tempt crimes of this kind, and put
to death all who accomplish their
purpose. This would prevent the
reproduction of the species having
tendencies of this character, and
place before the balance of mankind
as living monuments of the sure re-
suits of qualification of brutal in
stincts. If this punishment could
have been inflicted upon the brute
that so aroused the passions of the
people of Milford the first part of
last week, we believe that there
would not have been a dissenting
voice in the community; especially
after the fend had confessed to the
crime and told of his intentions.
Only a year ago the same brute at
tempted the same crime in Milton,
and had the above punishment have
been inflicted then, the crime of last
Monday would never been a blight
on our record. Death is not an
adequate punishment for all crimes,
and this appears to be one of the
list. The people of Milford have
great provocation to lynch a fiend,
but we are glad that the law is to
be permitted to take its course.
