Paddy and the Turk.
A STORY OF EGYPT.


Captain Freyne, of the Engineers,
while serving in Egypt in the old
days, was one morning seated in his
marquee when he saw drawing near a
miserable Arab bestriding the hind
quarters of an ass, which also car
ried pair of large panniers, filed
with garden produce, acceptable and
somewhat rare commodities at that
time and place.
This purveyor of greens was jog
ging inoffensively along, looking out
for purchasers, when his evil star sent
him a customer he did not bargain for
"a tall and powerful Turk, richly
dressed, and armed to the teeth, who
without word dragged him from his
seat, kicked the panniers off their
bearer, and spread the vegetables all
over the place. Pressing as this
hero's need for a temporary steed
might have been, it is probable that
he would not have tolerated one so
mean but for the pleasure of NAL
treating and robbing poor native;
yet, ere he had lifted his leg high
enough to cross the animal, dapper
fellow, much below the ordinary size
of soldiers, who had been cleaning his
masters belt close by, roared out:
"What do you name be dat, We big
thafe? How dare ye maltrate Door
Arawbian in his lawful calling? Let
go his ass: or you'll sup sorrow, my
ladv' ... ..
The Mussumlan, though he might
not understand a word this champion
OF the injured poured forth, could
neither mistake nor relish the hostile
looks and menacing gestures of little
Jenny Mulhollan, to whom, however,
he only vouchsafed the mute and
digni6ed hint Of laying his hand on
his dagger. "Och, you murtherin
blaggaru! You name that, do you?'

Frank Steadman Goes Down Into Okla
homa and Makes Haste to Return.
About this time of year the average
American citizen pauses long enough
to ponder on the conditions under
which he labors and then casts about
grasping at any proffered scheme to
better himself. With view to better
ing himeself, our confectioner, Frank
Steadman, Joined land-seeking
party short time since and went into
Oklahoma, described as the Gland of
Now" He returned last week and has
the following to say:
II spent two days and consider
able amount of spare change at Guy
man, Oklahoma, a town of about 500
inhabitants and one we'll. The little
town is built on the plain and from it
in all directions one can see plains
and blue sky. o"
"The soil is of the gumbo variety
and at this time of the year is hard
and parched, showing not sign of
vegetation or the possibility of any.
"The hardness of the soil is such
that the masons in erecting brick
building there build the foundation
right on the top of the ground.
"While there I saw settler at
tempting to dig a post hole. The
effort resembled that of a wood
pecker pecking at hickory knot
more than anything else. @
II saw lots of the country the first
day, as we drove long distance into
it, but there was no change. The
second day didn't see much for the
wind was blowing and the air was full
of binding dust. To improve my
time I asked questions and learned
that every other person I met wished
to sell out; that practically every
thing to eat was shipped in; that
water was a luxury there, whole
town being content with one we'll: that
wages were low ($l5 per month and
if it should by chance rain while I
was there I'D get stuck in the gumbo
and never get back. Fearing this
calamity I boarded a train and came
home. '-AnOka Free Press.

MESSAGE OF HOPE
To Sick and Afflicted Comes From Minneapolis Woman
Who Knows Whereof She Speaks.

Who can better give advice than one
who has pro6ted thereby?
Mrs. M. A. Phelps, 22l7 Elliott
Ave, Minneapolis, speaks to the
suffering and the afflicted through this
medium hoping that what she has en-
dured and the miraculous manner in
which she was relieved may be the
means of delivering others from the
ravages Of disease and affection.
So unusual was her experience that
her letter reproduced in part will not
fail to interest those who are seeking
health and happiness. She says:
"After suffering for over a year from
stomach trouble and biliousness it is
indeed a relief to be free from the
burden.''
"My food would not digest and
would ferment and sour on my stom-
ach causing bad taste in the mouth:

Number of Cows for a Silo.

One of the most common questions
OF today is: "Would it pay to build
silo for eight or ten cows?" One
man writes that he has only forty
acres of land and that he must do.
very good farming to grow the neces-
sary feed thereon for ten COWS besides
the feed that must be grown for the
span of horses which must be kept to
do the work, says The Farmer.
len COWS are a rather small num-
Der to go to the expense of putting up
silo for, and it would perhaps be
advisable only where the COWS were
extra good and very high prices re-
ceived for the product unless the
principal coarse feed must be corn
fodder. Then one would find it
profitable to put up silo for this
number.
However on this same amount of
land it would be possible to keep
many more COWS with the use of the
silo. Ten acres of good corn fodder
will furnish fifteen COWS the principal
part of their roughage for six months,
or during the heavy feeding season,
and there would be enough left over
to give them all the silage they would
need during the balance of the year,
which would make it possible to keep
them on very small pasture. If ten
COWS are carried on a forty acre farm
without silo it is safe to presume
that fifteen can easily be carried on
the same amount of land by it's use.
In our opinion any man who is try
ing to run dairy on 4O-acre farm
should put up silo by all means.
We think he needs it much more than
the man who has large farm. You
can easily double the feeding capacity
of the farm by the use of plenty Of
silage. We are feeding nine COWS two
feeds a day for seven months on sill
age which was grown on three and
three-fourths acres of land.

later the youngest child-two years

lowed about teaspoonful of carbolic
acid. Neighbors were summoned and
a doctor. The child soon became un-
conscious, but a large quantity of

and when the doctor arrived the child
had regained consciousness. The
physician hopes to save it's life, but it
is not yet out of danger, for the mouth

doctor says it has been recently dis

Despite Mr.. Eldridges assurance that
