Washington, July a.
BRIGADE POST PLANS.-Secretary Taft has
arranged plan of allotment for the brigade
posts. and he viii lay this before the President at
Oyster Bay on Monday. 1t can be said that it is
not the intention 10 order the abolition aban-
donment of any of the smaller company
regimental posts. present at least, and probably
not during this calendar year. On the other hand
il will not be practicable because of lack Of funds
and for purely military reasons, to execute at once
the plans for brigade posts. All that be done
now is TO make beginning, carrying the work
along as fast as Congress provides the means. IT
is learned that, far from abandoning The Eost
Fort Smelling, Minnesota, an allotment of $4,000
has been made for its enlargement.

WILL TEST PLANTS.
F-' ---.-- t.~s e. - Association of Park Superintendents
 May Establish Arboretum.

Washington, June 13.-The estab- lishment near Washington of na- tional arboretum, a reserve for test ing foreign plants of all varieties, was discussed by the American As sociation of Park Superintendents. whose annual convention is in prog ress here. The plan was proposed by Jackson Dawson of Boston. William R. Smith, the superintendent of the botanical gardens at Washington pre- sented a paper in which he advised the purchase by the government of the Appalachian mountain range to be used in the growth of pine trees. The turpentine product from these trees, he said. after being converted into camphor was a valuable asset in the manufacture of smokeless pow der. A paper On Park Woodlands
 was read by J. J. Pettigrew of Bos- ton. These officers were elected: Pres- ident, Byron Worthen, Manchester, N. Y; vice-president, John Chambers, Toronto, Ont: John W. Duncan, Bos- ton: Frederick Nussbaumer, St Paul; John F. Cowell, Buffalo: w. s. Man. ming. Baltimore. and C. E. Keith. Bridgeport: secretary and treasurer, F. E. Mulford, Harrisburg. Pa. .s

pocKETBooKs FOUND.
Pickpockets Had No Use for Them
 Check for Sl.OOO Found.

Superintendent Beach of the police department holds a certified check for $1 ,000 on the Merchants Nation al Bank, 2S State street, Boston, dat ed May 23, 1906, and payable to ". G. Meyers, who transferred 1t to j.. H. Pease, who got separated from 1t in Waterbury. MT Beach has written to MT Pease at Hartford notifying him of the find. The pocketbook con- taining the check, together with two others, were turned over to the police by Alfred Bergman of Scoyill strest, who found them in his saloon last night, where. it is supposed they were thrown away by few light fingered fellows who dropped in there to have quiet drink all by their lonesome. Besides the check there were other things in the pocketbook, but no cash.
 One of the other wallets belonged to E. L. Kent of Cynwood, Pa, and was packed with papers of one kind and another which must be of much value to the owner. The other was claimed by MT Johnson of Bristol. who called and got it. The $60 which he missed yesterday was not in 1t, but the pickpckets were not quite so mean after all, for they left a laun- dry ticket and four pennies, which with the pocketbook were turned over to the owner. .s .I....5

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.
Tickets Being Distributed to Rela- tiyes and Friends of Graduates.


 A week from Thursday evening the graduating exercises of the class or 1906 of the High school will be held at Polls theater and tickets are now being distributed for the same. Or late years the members of the grad uating class received very few tickets and there is some talk of change af- ter this year in order that the par ents. relatives and friends of the grad uates may have a chance of getting seat at the commencement eXer- ciSes.
 The method of disposing of the tick cts now in vogue is such that the \ members of the class receive about six tickets each. There are seldom more than 70 in the class which makes the total for the class about APO. Civ ing a few extra. will place the sum at about 800 The other nine or ten hundred go somewhere, but the schol. ars do not get them.
 It was suggested by one of the members of the board of education this year that the graduates receive as many as they needed and allow the rest of the house to be open to the public. Principal Wilby Is in favor oi charging an admission fee of fifty cents or a dollar. proceeds thus taken in to go for some work in connection with the school He thinks that some ! arrangement other than the one al | present used for distributing the tick cts should he instituted. He is aware l that the graduates do not receive nearly the amount they should and hopes to see some plan suggested and adopted before the next year that vii treat the graduates justly.

SERVES HIM RIGHT.

A few evenings ago it was raining like "Old Nick" and certain lady told her husband there was TO coffee for breakfast and only one drawing of tea for next day. We'll, Hubby" put on his coat and hat. took his um- brella and started for the oldest and most reliable tea store in the city (Phelan's, AZ East Main), but it was raining too hard for such a journey and he dropped into the first grocery store he came to and made his pur- chase and started for home. When he thought how the s"'old woman" would know he didn't have stime to go where she sent him he dropped into a place where they sell drinks tnot tea, coffee or buttermilk), and killed time" for half an hour, and when he arrived home she asked him if he had drank anything while on his journey and the naughty 'cuss said no, only glass of Phelan s fresh Buttermilk Then she inquired if it was possible that Phelan put a stick in his buttermilk, and the ras- cal said he didn't know. However, next morning the coffee didn't taste like it always does and by hook or crook she found out what he did and sent to our store for some of the nice tasting kind for the rest of the fam- fly, but Hubby" has the coffee and tea he purchased all to himself. ana what's worse, he must drink every drop of it himself. Serves him right. Remember, we sell only FRESH but termilk, fresh roasted coffee, new season tea, and our fresh made but ter is o. K. and only 25 cents per pound at

working hard over them. Artillery

SALT AND ASHES Foa PIGS.
1t is advisable to keep salt and ash

1t is advisable to keep salt and ashes
where pigs can have ready access to
them. After pigs begin to eat grain
they will visit the ashes and salt after
every feed or oftener. We find it profit
able to keep the mixture in Il self feed
er into which a bucketful of the mix
ture can be kept dry and from which
the pigs can get it from an opening at
the bottom. BY this arrangement there
is a saving of labor and the pigs never
get so hungry for ii is as to eat too
much, as in the case when salt and
ashes are given occasionally.
Professor Henry corroborated the
wisdom Of this practice by a very sat
~isfactory test. Pigs fed cornmeal with.
salt and water got very fat in a short
time, but 500 failed to improve. Pigs
fed cornmeal, hardwood ashes, salt and
water. did better. made better growth
of bone. The pigs having ashes made
better bone and better gain. He also
showed that in the absence of ashes we
may profitably feed ground bone. Corn
alone ma be used a few weeks to
fatten a pig. but it is so far from a
balanced ration that the growth is alb
normal and it is Improbable to at
tempt to row pigs on corn alone. ..
There are many good rations for pigs
none better than corn, middlings or
milk and grass or clover. The man
who cannot max good pigs and whole
sale meat with these is not a born feed
or.
The practice OF feeding salt and ashes
has been followed by breeders in the
Miami valley for half a century to
ny personal knowledge. Here corn has
been the bulk Of the feed with the
addition Of slop made from middlines
and ground oats and flaxseed meal
with what milk the family had to spare.
AS dairying a not been extensively
practiced pigs have had a slop of mid
dlings and water instead. No good
breeder or farmer of this region at
tempted to grow breeding stock with
out a daily run of pigs and brood sows
on blue grass or clover pasture. vet
even with the grazing and the variety
Of grain, with corr as the chief. it
has been found that pigs regularly fed
salt and ashes with charcoal therein
made better growth of frame and were
less troubled with worms. The practice
Of keeping salt, ashes and charcoal IL
specially to be commended for pigs and
feeders abundantly fed.-Western

and he is through his work at 3 or 4
in the afternoon. An officer works at
least as much as that every day.
Sometimes perhaps not so long, but
certainly longer at other times"
ID o think that any officer of
the Amy who invented a new kind of
explosive or a new weapon of defense
would be frowned upon by his super
iors for Offering it?"
Not at all. The government. IL it
is a good thing, would be glad to adopt
it, though the officer gets nothing for
1t. Frequently very man inn
provements in army equipment and
explosives used by the government are
the invention of officers in the service:
but an officer has no royalty on it. An
outsider would get it patented, and. If
adopted, a royalty would be paid him.
Instead OF an increase in his salary
an officer has to be content with the
honor and glory it brings him."

United States army are paid sufficient

Well 1 do not know. That is a ques-
However, they get along pretty well

say. less than when 1t was fixed q good
