Ten pounds of alfalfa hay, says a
farm paper, will produce as much milk
as nine pounds of bran. They have
nearly the same chemical composition
and are similar in the matter of bulki-

at high rate when alfalfa hay can be
grown for one-fourth the price?

The man knew him now for meddle- some fellow.
 Yet he knew the man for a spy! But he must have proof--facts. For the deliverance of one accursed spy would the Russians grant his liberty, so that he might journey to the upper hills.
 The guard came tramping out of the mist and the thirty men were driven into the shed. Ho Toi felt a hand on his arm. and turning. he saw the man.
 "What is it7" asked Ho Toi. trem- bling.
 T have listened to you tonight. and even at other times" explained thu man clearly. Always have you talked of bridges. There are reasons why might turn you over to the guard as spy"
 Ho Toi was the very last to go into the shed. His face had turned to the color of dirt gray.
 In the course of another tedious day the bridge was finished. The thirty men who existed in the shed close to the river wondered what was in store for them. They longed to be free. Yeng Soi sighed for the sacred precincts of the temples, in which q man of saintly look can sit idle all the day. and yet count yen at the end of It. Hoi Toi, too. had visions---oi the upper hills. When these olden things troubled him greatly, he would center his narrow, pigsish eyes on the man.
 During the early hours of the third morning--the changing of the guard when sentries are most drowsy--the man sought to run the outpost It was during one of the sleepless vigils oi Ho Toi.
 The air was bitterly cold The man slipped out at the shed door. Hoi To eagerly followed the man.
 He had gone toward the river. He Toi saw him searching the bank fol something. After awhile he came upon a boat. Ho Toi listened to the faint dipping of the oars as the boat brushed away Into the dark.
 He will drift down upon the bridge" muttered Ho Toi. musing fir his cunning way. That boat was Jeff for him-it Is all arranged. There are soldiers at both ends of the bridge-ii tell them they will earn the reward and I will go back to the sheds with those dirty pigs. No-I must do some thing"
 A puffing noise caused him to cease planning ard glance about in nervous alarm. A line of empty cars was nov. Ing over the railroad toward the bridge
 Ho Toi hurried after the moving train. Nimbly he swung himself upon one of the last cars and lay at full length on it's top. Soon a low rum bling told him they had passed the bridges end and was crossing the

 crawling crocidile! You are trying to cheat the highborn visitors.
 Dealer (crlngingly)-How much you give?
 Hassim (to me)-Come. I will speak with you alone. Gle leads me away from the crowd and talks to me in a husky whisper.) This man Is bad man. Do not pay him twenty bob. No one is looking. You slip the money to me and I will buy 1t for fifteen.
 Now, fifteen shillings is $3.75 in real money and the stick is worth a dollar at the most extravagant valuation. so I say to Hassim, Are you in on this:"
 He does not understand, but he looks at me as if hurt or disappoipted. and then says, T try to get it for ten. Wait here"
 Then I catch him by the slack of the blue gown and say that will not give ten. I authorize him to offer fifteen piasters-75 cents. He says 1t will be useless to offer such a small sum, as the ivory comes from the elephant and hunters must search many days to find the elephant and then carry the tusk forty-seven thousand miles across the burning desert to sell it to the dealer in Assault. So I tell him to stand back and l will negotiate in my own behalf. So break through the crowd and of- fer three shillings. Derisive laughter by the dealer, the crowd assisting. I offer four shillings. The dealer says, 'I am a ruined man, but no matter take it along for eight" Then Has, sim elbows his way back to the scene of the trouble and helps to complicate matters. He curses the dealer in Ara bic and says to me in a side whisper that he has succeeded in buying the stick for seven shillings I offer five. To make a long story short, after using up $8 worth of time and $52 worth of vocal energy, I buy the stick for six shillings, and when return to the boat the head steward exhibits one just like 1t which he bought for two.
 This farcical grand stand" play was repeated every time we stopped to pur- chase some trif1ing specimen of native junk One of the best performances of the afternoon involved a mysterious trip up a narrow alley and into a tum- bledown house, where Hassim eXhiS- ited to us four squalling infants. polka dotted with flies and richly encrusted with the soil of their native land. All though all four of the children seem ed to be of about the same age, he as- sured us that they belonged to him. and we, being unfamiliar with the customs of Egypt, were not prepared to contra dict him. He said 1t was customary for visitors to give small present to each of the children. or, better still, we could give the money to him and he would hand it to them later.
 We shall remember Hassim. He sur rounded his cheap trickeries with such a glamour of Oriental ceremony and played his part with such terrific show of earnestness that he made the afternoon wholly enjoyable. When we arrived at the landing he and the driver had a verbal war. and then he took mo aside fnE another heart to heart talk.

 Well. well, let us hear It again" submitted one of the group, who had more than once listened to Yeng Soi's
 recital of this great happening. Yeng Soi grounded a bit to himself. But he could not resist the temptation
 to talk. and began: Tt was night and raining. The river came booming along. asking for corpses. the water snarling up at the supports of the bridge, each wavelet like the clean white fang of a wolf. A spy had crawled out among the low CT bridge tinbers. carrying with him bundle of devil's powder. but-just before he fired 1t, a soldier saw him by wink of the lightning. There was shot. Then the most terrible noises were born. The gods themselves could not make greater thunder even when drunk. Next morning the bridge look ed like a camel whose back has been broken by a beam The man who caused 1t all was found tossed in the fishing nets below the village"
 Ho Toi shuddered once during this recital. The thought of a man cling ing to fishing nets all night. only to find death In the dawn. chilled him. At that point the man he watched had laughed. Ho Toi could not relish that laugh. The mind of him was troubled.

State Should Have Interest.

AT the closing session of the Indi-
ana Republican Editorial Association
at Indianapolis, resolution was ad-
opted favoring the payment of inter
est on the public moneys to the funds
themselves, and providing for safe de-
positories. This resolution was pass
ed unanimously, and with little COM
ment. The resolution follows:
We favor legislation providing for
safe repositories for State, county,
township, city and town funds, to the
end that re; sonable rates of interest
may be obtained for the use OF such
moneys, and for the benefit of the
funds to which they belong.
When William O'Keefe treasurer
OF Marshall county, commenced pay
ing interest on public funds four years
ago, he was called crank by state
officers and most treasurers of other
counties, and a bill presented in the
Legislature to enact a law in accord
ance with his plan received little
consideration
Since Marshall county has received
over $4,000 interest in four years,
views have changed and there is no
doubt that the next legislature will
enact law on the lines of the reso-
lutions adopted by the State Editor
ial association.

A Righteous Decision.

The Supreme Court of Indiana,
speaking through Judge Hadley,
holds that woman injured in run
away has right to recover damages
from an automobilist who had fright
ened her horses. The driver of the
machine was travelling at high speed
and he ran up close to the horses,
which took fright and ran away The
woman was thrown out and injured.
The lower court gave her damages in
the amount of $2,5OO This judgment
was affirmed by the Supreme Court.
For the benefit of the reckless drivers
of automobiles, of whom there are
still many, we set out here the prin-
ciple laid down by the court:
There is nothing dangerous in the
use of an automobile when managed
by an intelligent and prudent driver.
Its guidance, its speed and its noise
ar all subject to quick and easy regu-
lation, and under the control of a
competent and considerate manager
it is as harmless, on the road as other
vehicles in common use. 1t is the
manner of driving an auto on the
highway, too often INDUCED in by
thoughtless pleasure-seekers and for
the exploitation of machine, that
constitutes menace to public safety

Daniel Mcdonald in an interview
Friday evening, declared In favor of
a 2-cent railroad rate, and the lending
of public funds to the highest aud
best bidder, and against an extra ses-
sion OF the legislature.
Mr.. Mcdonald believes that if rail-
roads can carry passengers TO Chicago
indianapolis and other points on Sun
day for less than one-cent a mile they
can carry all passengers for two cents
mile and make money.
He opposes an extra session of the
Legislature because it would cost the
taxpayers too much money. He says
personlly, he would favor an extra
session, because he favors a law that
cost, because he favors a law that
would give the governor power to
unseat corrupt officials, and he would
like to again introduce a bill which he
offered last January to give the tax
payers interest on public funds He
says his was the only affirmative vote
last winter but he thinks the people
have changed the opinion of many
Legislators since that time

Steele Against Lands.

AT mass meeting of Grant county
Republicans held yesterday at Marion
it was decided to enter a Grant coun-
ty candidate in the 18th district con-
gresional race, and by resolution of
fered by Judge Hiram Brownlee and
carried unanimously the name OF
George W. Steele, formerly represen-
tative of the Eleventh district, was
designated as the one which the
meeting desired to go before the con-
vention as Grant county's delegate.
About 500 Grant county people, each
more or less with Grant county desire
for Grant county recognition and
Grant county precedence in district
affairs, attended the meeting.
The congressional nomination in
this district is euivalent to an election
which explains the sharp rivalry for
nomination. From present indica-
tions Congressman Lands will have
to contest with three of four aspir-
ants, but his friends throughout the
district have little doubt of the result.
Lands has grown rapidly in popular
ity and his ability has earned him
good recognition in congress. He
has served the apprenticeship that
all congressman serve before their
full measure of usefulness is reached.
He ought to be returned to congress
for the good of the entire district
