Believes in Popular Representation.

From his majesty's own lips l can
assure you that he still believes in the
principle of popular representation, and
firmly intends to adhere to It, but he
became convinced that the present parlia-
ment was elected under abnormal condi-
tons and did not represent the true senti-
ment of the country, and that 1t was
necessary to make another appeal to the
nation.
What is the history Of the ukase?'
was asked the comptroller.
Ever since the assembling of parlia-
ment." he replied, the intransigeant
temper displayed convinced us {the min
istry) that the principal objective of
those in control was to make 1t the center
of revolutionary agitation, instead of set
Ting down to a constructive work, and
therefore sooner or later its dispersal
would be necessary. But we wished to
wait until its incapacity and true role
burned themselves into the minds of the
people. AS we anticipated, the parlla-
ment proceeded TO write its own death
sentence by demonstrating that 1t neither
was nor desired to be legislative
body, but simply a revolutionary trl-
bunal. Nevertheless Emperor Nicholas
continued to hope for a change of tao
tics, and only consented to dissolution
when every other alternative had been
exhausted.

Cotton Seed Meal as Human
Food.

Here is my experience with cot
ton seed meal as a human food.
Proof of the pudding is eating of
it. 1 have been making a test of
cotton seed meal in ny family for
two months, using it in the form
of light bread, mullins, tea cakes.
ETC., in the proportion of about Is
per cent of cotton seed meal, ba-
lance -four or corn meal, and al
ways using cotton seed oil in the
place of lard (but wish to say that
l have been using. the oil exclu-
sively for several years.. l find
that cotton seed meal mixed in
proper proportions is not only
wholesome. but pleasant to the
taste. 1t certainly has a fattening
property about it that no other
bread has. AS a tissue builder,
my experience 30 far is that it can
not be beat. I have demonstra-
ton of the fact in my own family,
one of nay daughters being in very
poor health from spell Of pneu-
monia last winter, and thin in
flesh. I got her consent to try it
{ 1 had the usual prejudice against
,tton seed products to overcome },
which she did, and soon got 10
king it. She has gained in
weight and health since she com
nenced using it, and is in better
health now than she has been in
for several months. She takes M
medicine of any kird, and has not
since using the bread. But / wish
to say she has not eaten it long
enough for me to give 4 definite
answer rs to final results. Nv
family all like it in one form or
another. The writer of this eats
very little of any kind OF bread
now without the cotton seal meal
in it. l weigh more by FIVE pounds
than L have in twenty years, aud
l have gained it all since I COM
menced eating the meal. 1t is
easily assimilated and digested,
and for stomach troubles and ali
wasting diseases, I believe it will
lay all the breakfast, predigested
and health foods in tho shade, tcx-
in or no toxin. In fact, with my
experience, l think the toxin the
DRY is great big mistake. 1 shall
continue to use cotton seed meal
as food, unless l See some bad eff
fects. which 1 do not expect, and
will give definite results from my
experiments later on.-George A.
Potter, in the Cotton Seed.

Used of SaWdust.

Many are the uses of sawdust
In the days when the sawdust wa
gon made it's numbering rounds
through the streets of most large
cities two commercial uses Of saw
dust were to sprinkle floors and to
shelter lead pipes from cold and
glass bottles from breakage.
Near every saw mill was a vat
for the sawdust and it WINS .carted
away free by any one who had any
use for it. In this era of he use
of by-products sawdust has coru-
merciaI value. 1t is Nc longer gi-
ven away but sold.
One Of the recent uses OF saw
dust is distillatiou, resulting in
acetic acid, wood naptha, wood al
,cohol and tar. Sawdust may also
be burned in special furnaces or
mixed with other material for fuel.
Sgwdust when saturated with
chemicals can be effectively used
an the manufacture Of explosives,
but it is more particularly in de-
msnd in paper making than for
ANY other purpose. Sach thing

as Substitute for rug OF car
pet ss now practically unknown.
:Sawdust has Joined sand in this
respect.
Cotton felt has been substituted
for sawdust as a uncoDductor Uf
cold in winter. Gas can be made
from sawdust. 1t is also used for
briauettes. i. e., block Of compress
ed sawdust and wood chips burn
for fuel. Eveu in the protection
of glassware against breakage saw
dust has been superseded by ex-
celsior, sawdust being regarded As
too valuable for such use.

The Old Overland Stage

Drivers and guards were always
armed-armed to the teeth, they called
it, with an extra gun or two in each
boot and a bowie knife in the belt.
Having round ups" with train robbers
was part of the weekly business. and
the first thing the helpers did while
the horses were changing at relay sta
tions was to pull out arrows and dig
for bullets and make note of it to
tell the next stage load of tourists and
prosepectirs that came that way.
Wells, Fargo & Co. did just as much
for the country and civilization in
those days as any armed regiment of
soldiers They employed brave men
at Cheyenne in the early days. Once
in that town, called the wickedest city
ON earth-and it had 5000 desperadoes
and a thousand or two red-headed
women from Australia who could
dance 1S hours without fainting
went around that the worst gang in
Wyoming was going to attack the
treasure to arrive that night. 1t was
rich cargo of gold dust and coin that
the express company was hurrying
across the plains.
The manager wasn't frightened a
bit He put the treasure in a round
house made of timbers, almost air.
tight, and pierced with holes on every
side, just large enough for man to
sight his gun through. Twenty men,
each with a sawed-off gun and several
kegs of slugs and powder were piled in
on top of the treasure and the men told
to shoot everything in sight.
The plaza in front of the hotel was
cleared, and about two O'Clock next
morning the attack opened and the
defenders began pumping lead into
the invaders. 1t was great fight
and for Il few minutes thcro was a
continuous roar OF rifles and shotguns.
The air was mixed with fire, slugs
and old nails. The boys won great
victory for the express company and
it was nearly week before they be-
gan hanging thieves again to the tele-
graph poles along the principal streets
of the town. All the residential
thieves had been killed. The Method
list preacher who presided there said
he never had so fiourishing a congre-
cations and so easy time as when
he saw a new man swinging from a
rope every day he went downtown to
get his mail.

picture is an eloquent reminder of
those wonderful days of the pony eX-

world was "hoOfng" II across the

To Help Fight the Oil Trust
Attorney General Moody Selects Frank
B. Kellogg of st. Paul as Aid
in Legal Battle.

st. Paul, Minn.-Frank B. Kellogg
OF this city, one of the leading attor
neys of the northwest, interested In
the steel trust and known as a clever
corporation lawyer, has been chosen
by Attorney General Moody to assist
in the great legal battle which the
government has begun against the
Standard Oil company.
Mr. Kellogg attracted attention by
his splendid work for the government
in its fight against the paper combine
He was also associated with Elihu
Root in the Hartman Hill Northern
Securities litigation.
Frank B. Kellogg is an orator. Bit
terness has small place in him. He
can reply sharply to a sharp chal-
lenge, but apparently without parti-
Gle of malignity.
Mr. Kellogg is a native of New York
He was reared on farm and attend
ed public schools in Minnesota, to
which state his parents had moved.
His rise in his profession began
soon after his admission to the bar
when he was made city attorney of
Rochester, MINI. Later he became
county attorney of Olmstead county
and entered the law firm of Davis
Kellogg & Severance, the most promi-
nent in the state. He has also been

THE POULTRY.

More attention should be given to
water fowls.
The poultry yard, as well as the
poultry house, needs to be kept clean.
When fowls need tonic, there
are some who put few drops of
tincture of iron into their drinking
troughs.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
are an excellent preventative of in
sect breeding, especially when the
hens are setting.
Feed the fowls about to be shipped
nothing but hard grain the day pre-
vious. They will carry better and
arrive in a better condition.
So long as good prices can be OBJ
tanned for broilers it will nearly al
ways be found best to sell at this
age, or either to feed to maturity and
sell in the fall or winter.
Poultry keeping can be made an
auxiliary to other pursuits without
infringing upon the time of the keep.

turn for the food and care given
