WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FART

An official connected with an Eastern agricultural college has made @ summary of the reasons given by 1853 sons of farmers for abandoning the pursuit of their fathers. Sixty-two of this nun. Der sad that farming does not pay. A strong argument can be made on the idea that it pays better than other forms of busi. ness.
 The secretary of agriculture has stated that the products of the soil in this country in 1905 reached a value of $6, 900. .000,. 900, which is a good deal of wealth to divide up as a reward in one industry.
 Seventeen of the young men said the hours of labor on the farm were too long. No doubt they meant at certain seasons, but this is detail open to ad- justment.
 Twenty.six thought social ad vantages on the farm are not equal to those in cities, which is also a matter of opinion.
 Sixteen said they had nat. ural bent for something else, which is a point that deserves consideration always.
 Others objected to farm monot. ony, and fifteen said they would return to farming as soon as they made 0 pile of money at something else.
 Many of these young men are the victims of illusion, and, un- fortunately, of kind seldom
 
 cured except by experience.
 Probably they are not aware that ninety per cent of those who branch out into general business fail to accumulate any considera- ble wealth, while the positive wreckage in means, health and comfort is large. A farm is never monotonous to a good farmer. It is rather a book of fresh interest with each succeed ing day. A surplus at the end of a year is the rule on the farm; in the city surplus is the ex- and the style of family living, on the whole, is in favor of the country.
 But statistics show that plenty of boys remain on the farms. The farming population in the United States in 1900 was four times as large as in 1850, and the value of their property in- creased five-fold, or from $4, 000,- 100000 to $20, 1000, 100000.

'B. r. DANIELS
 STRONG FRIEND
A Han Who Greatly Contributed to
 His Confirmation.

Washington. April 27, Especial Cor respondence of the Republtcan)-Th confirmation by the senate of the nom ination of Ben F. Daniels to be Unit ed marshal for the district of Arizona was due in large part to the efforts of Sidney Bieber, former fire marshal of the district of Columbia, who spent nearly a year in the territory recent ly
 When the Baltimore fire occurred a little more than two years ago, MT. Bieber accompanied the Washington City fire department to the scene and performed valuable services. As a re- suit of his exposure at that time his health broke and he was forced to re- sign the marshalship. He went to Fort Stanton and it was at this time that he became acquainted with Daniels The two became good friends and when MT. Bieber returned to Washington he started out to make easier for Daniels the road he was travelling toward the berth to which President Roosevelt had named him. In addition to enjoying the strong personal friendship of Speaker Cannon, he is pleasantly ac- quainted with a large number of sen ators and worked earnestly to con- vince them that Daniels wasn't as bad
 
 Bieber told them that whatever there was in Daniels career that could not be held to be entirely creditabIe had been entirely wiped out by his subse- quent good conduct; that Daniels is now leading the life of an exemplary citizen and had the respect and good will of the citizens of Arizona almost without exception. Senator Clark, of Wyoming. has been the steadfast champion of Daniels throughout the whole of the fight to have him con- firmed. He has been told time and again that he was up against a hope less game. but he has persevered. His tactial leadership has been supplement ed by the personal appeals Of MT. Bic Der, who lost no opportunity to tell senators that if Daniels was turned down at this time it would be an act of injustice to a man who had lived down his peccadillOes and had of late years so conducted himself as to win the confidence of the president of the United States himself. The hill the senator of Wyoming and Mir Bieber had to row was indeed difficult but success finally crowned their efforts
 MT. Bieber is now making a fight at the capital prividing for the re- organization of the fire department of the District of Columbia. When thls l is disposed of he will probably | go to Arizona to remain there for a | long time to come. He is enthusias- ! tic about the outlook for the territory | and believes that with statehood. a | boom will take place that will send her forging rapidly ahead.

DEATH THE LEVELER.

The glories of our blood and state Are shadows not substantial things There is no armor against fate; Death lays his icy hand on kings: Scepter and Crown
 Must tumble down And in the dust be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and
 spade. Some men with swords may reap the
 field, And plant fresh laurels where they
 kill; But their strong nerves at last must
 yield; They tame but one another still;
 Eearly or late
 They stoop to fate, And must give up their murmuring
 breath When they, pale captives, creep to
 death. The garlands wither on your brow; Then boast no more your mighty
 deeds; Upon Deaths purple altar now See where the victor victim bleeds; Your heads must come
 To the cold tomb; Only the actions of the just Smell sweet, and blossom in their dust.

HOW TIGERS KILL PREY.
Always Make Attack on The Flank of
 Animal.

I have taken considerable trouble to find out how tigers kill large game. writes an assistant controller of forests at Perah. Some time ago I was asked to come and see a full grown bullock that had been killed by a tiger. On examining it I found the animal had it's neck broken and there were claw marks on the nose and shoulder. but nowhere else. There was no doubt but that the tiger had jumped at the bull and landed on the shoulder and when the bull turned his head to gore the tiger he must have put his claw out and with a sudden jerk broken the neck.
 On another occasion I went to see a young buffalo which had been killed by a tiger and found the same thing had happened. There were similar marks on the nose and also on the near shoulder, which clearly indicated that this animal had been killed in the sam. way. Malays who have actually seen a tiger killing a buffalo. told me they saw the same thing happen, also that in dragging off a heavy carcass sucn as buffalo or bull, he gets most of the weight across his shoulder.
 This must be fairly correct. as have often followed a kill. and the marks left indicated that only a DOT ton of the animal was trailing on the ground. l have known a fulI-grown bull which ten men could not move. dragged for two miles by a tiger in heavy jungle, where roots of trees ana swamp had to be gone through In no case nave I seen the pug marks facing the wrong way except when stopping to feed, which proves he must carry portion of the animal over his shouI- der
 The old idea of a tiger killing large game by blow from his paw is non- sense; besides, in this country a tiger never faces his prey, but attacks him on the flank, unless charged. Anotn- CT curious fact that may seem very like fairy tale, is that a tiger does not seem to mind a small lamp being tied over kill about ten feet high. but will come and feed. I have known three occasions when this has been tried. and each time a tiger has come to feed upon the arcass.-LOndon Field.

BACHELOR GIRLS BUTTONS.
Desperate Measures to Get Released
 From 2 New Dinner Gown.

The present style of fastening wo- mems dresses down the back. although pretty and very becoming to the fair wearers. has decided disadvantage. Comparatively few women have maids, and many are the sole representatives of their sex in their own households.
 Nowadays, exclusively feminine conversations are wont to exchange cu- rious tales relating to the shifts to which lone woman must resort in or der to get in and out of her clothes. Even their best young men. provided they were already proved trustworthy and discreet, have been pressed into service by enterprising girls. who faring home from some evening festiv- ity, and foreseeing battle and defeat awaiting them, have permitted their escorts respectfully to undo the cen tral-always the most obdurate-but- ton in the back of the bodice.
 Even more desperate measures were resorted to by a bachelor maid. who. after a recent social occasion, having returned to her bachelor flat after wearing with much satisfaction q brand new dinner gown. discovered to her dismay. when she endeavored to undo its poster fastenings, that one or two of them positively refused to unfasten. The bachelor girl lived alone; there was no tanitor, and her sole maid had

comes to sugar beets. or for that mat ter. anything else, Tempe won't take a back seat for anybody For example. A few days ago Chas. Waterhouse. who has one of the largest sugar beet farms in the valley this season. was walking through a patch of beets that had been irrigated the day before. They seemed to be an exceptionally thrifty lot and out of idle curiosity and without attempting to look up the largest in the patch, he measured the circumference of a few of them at the surface of the ground. One measured thirteen inches and a quarter The beets had been irrigated but once and that was the day before. Allowing the extra quarter of inch for the growth since that irrigation, even then there is a difference of three inches in favor of the Tempe beet and no doubt if the effort were made, others considerable larger might be found in the same field.
 The beets under the Tempe canal are now being irrigated for the first time and the crop mas been pretty we'll gone over once. The work is being rushed as much as possible for now is the time when they grow the most. Some of the fields will be weeded once more and cultivated perhaps a couple of times. but in some instances they are so far advanced that they can on longer be cultivated for there is no room between the rows, and such fields are a solid mass of green. Where they are that far along it will be but d matter of a month or six weeks until they are matured and ready for the sugar factory. On the whole the out look is very bright for beet raisers in this vicinity.
