Why They Call Him "Old Beans."

Senator Pomeroy was called by many of those who knew him as old Beans His friends used the nickname as a term of endearment, while those who didn't like him employed It to ex- press their dersion. He obtained the title by reason of having at one time, when the people of his state were hun gry, large quantity of that nourishing food shipped from Bostcn to Kansas Whenever he profited In a pecuniary way by that act, of course I don't know, but he, at least, gathered in a host of friends.
 "I first heard of the soubriquet when was one of the assistant doorkeepers of the Senate. My station was to the left of the chamber, facing tn secre- tary's office. One day, when the Sen ate was in session. big, breezy west erner came up to me, and said: Will you kindly send my card to Old Beans.
 Well, that stumped me, and I was obliged to confess that I didn't know beans Then the stranger explained. When old Beans appeared he fairly fell into his friends arms, and when that gentleman told him, that was ig. norant of the name the Kansans knew him by, was told why they so desig. mated him."-Washington Post

Her mother love has been touched at Its tenderest point, as Harry Kendall Thaw always has been her petted and best loved son. Always has she forgiven his escapades and dissipations, continually trusting that her love and devotion would tell in the long run. Now, In her old age, charged with deliberate and premedi- tated murder.

The College Bred Farmer.

Prof. L. H. Bailey. director ot the Cor. nell university college of agriculture, in the third of his series of articles for The Century, gives the result of his inquiry among his students as to what practical use they expected to put their education. Of the 179 replies received, seventy-eight were those of students reared on the farm. Of these, sixty-eight desired to go into practical farming and then to teaching and experimental work. Of the sixty-nine students reared in town or city, forty four wish to go into practical farming, fourteen into teaching. eight into land scape gardening and the rest undecided. Of the fourteen women students, two want 10 become practical farmers and twelve teachers of nature study and agri- culture. Of the eighteen foreign students, fifteen wish to return to the farm and three 10 enter experimental work. Prof. Bailey says that the agricultural college Is now teaching from the farm rather than from tho academic point of view

FLAWS BEST FRIEND.
If Anyone Can Save Whites Slayer
 It Is Hfa Mother.

II Is His Mother.
 Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, leader of Pittsburg society and ruler of the many millions left by her husband. the late William Thaw, has proven herself re- markable In times of stress and trouble. If anyone can save Harry K. Thaw from suffering the consequences of his crime In killing Stanford White, 1t will be this devoted mother, who Is his best friend.
 Mrs. Thaw showed her ability as a manager when her daughter, Alice, de cided to marry the Earl of Yarmouth. There was opposition from members of the family, who did not like the earl. Once settled that ner daughters happiness depended upon the mar riage, Mrs. Thaw consented. There was trouble over the settlement, but she ar ranged that to the satisfaction of all concerned.
 A year or so later Harry Kendall Thaw returned from Europe with Eve lyn Nesbit, announcing her as his wife. The elder Mrs. Thaw hastened to haul h the relns and arranged for anoth- CT wedding. Then she took them home with her. This high-minded and de- voted mother has redeemed situations that to others have seemed to be beyond hope of saving, and has controlled her offspring when only she was capable of doing so. Out of the complex love affairs of her children, when all the world scoffed, she has seen what was true and developed successful mar riages.
 With her other children, Josiah and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, Mrs. Thaw seems to have had less trouble.

To Make Harness Last Lonaer.

A little economy, which sometimes means a good many dollars to man, is the proper care of harness, carriage tops, etc. Leather in daily use, ex- posed as it is to sun and wind, soon becomes dry. hard, inelastic, and un- able to stand strain. Then, very like ly at the most unfortunate moment, a break occurs, and precious time and money are lost. All this is easily pre- vented by little forethought and care on the part of the owner. Every one owning horses should be supplied with good leather preservative, and a good axle oil. These two things are necessary to the largest economical use of a working outfit, or pleasure equipage.
 Observation has shown that no oil penetrates leather so deeply, and re sists the drying effect of sun and wind so well as Eureka Harness Oil.
 Neatsfoot and some other inferior oils sometimes used, easily become rancid, or because of containing acid, hurt the leather. Stable men and oth- CTS posted on the subject, invariably use Eureka Harness Oil. When har- ness is given an occasional dressing of this oil, and wagon spindles greased with Boston Coach Oil, very large reduction is made in the necessary repair bills. Boston Coach Oil, by the way, is very much superior to Castor Oil It has splendid lasting qualities, will not gum or corrode, and is more economical in every way.
 People who are after economy in stable management will do well to ask for these oils.
