One of the little Indians from South
Side Park strayed over to South Co
lumbia Friday evening. A number OF
the boys of the community sighted the
Indian and gave chase, but had as
much chance of catching the boy as
a bull dog would fox. The small
red man simply opened the eyes of the
onlookers as a speed proposition as
he made his way to the park.

try Store when you visit the Fair.

Whether the young birds are being
raised TO lay eggs later or for the car
cass market, they need good care dur
ing the summer. 1t is not enough that
they be turned onto the range; they
must be carefully fed, so that they
make the proper growth. This is es-
pecially necessary with the stock that
is being raised for laying purposes.
The range is essential, but no amount
of grass will furnish all the food the
growing chickens need. Let them have
n liberal feed of grain in the morning
before they are let out of the house
and another at night when they come
home to roost. This will be all they
need if they have a good range except
an abundance of fresh clean water and
shade while on the range. If one has
large number of FOWLS, great care
must be taken not only to have the
poultry houses sweet and clean, but
any portion of the grounds where they
congregate in any number ought also
TO be kept clean, which Is best done by
spading up the ground after scattering
lime over ii. DO this several times dur
ing the summer. and there will be little
danger of disease in the focks.

CHEATING AN EMPRESS.

SpectncIes of the Country Made to
Order for a Journey of Catherine.
Modern invention has provided every
luxury for the journeying monarch, but
he means and money of to-day do not
furnish more remarkable nor costly
Journeys than one taken by Catherine
The Great, says the Youths Companion
Catherine had made conquests in the
crimea, and her prime minister, Prince
Potemkin, persuaded her to visit her
lew possessions. The precautions for
the journey took some time. Convey
ances had to be built and vessels got
ready. The distance to be gone over
oy land was over 1000 kilometers, and
Tor great part of the way the road
had to be made. One herculean task
Vas clearing the river Dnieper of dan
yerous rocks. In all, over 100000
rubles were spent in this six months
Journey.
The start was made in January,
1856. An immense sleigh had been
built for the empress, fitted up as a
room, in which eight persons could
amuse themselves in comfort, playing
cards or consulting the books with
which the walls were lined Thirty
horses drew this great vehicle; fresh
relays awaited at every station. As the
weather was bitterly cold. huge bon
fires were lighted at regular intervals
20 temper the atmosphere.
Every house in which the court rest
ID was newly built or furnished. The
linen and the service never did service
out once.
At Kiev eight ships were waiting to
convoy the royal company. Handsome
rooms were built ON the deck, hung
with silk and luxuriously furnished.
But the strangest and most extravagant
feature of the whole proceedings was
the appearance OF the country through
which the river runs.
The empress gazed in surprise at the
wonderful and enchanting sights. In
stead of the dreary desert she had sup
posed, the prairies, stretching away on
every hand, were covered with herds
Of sheep and goats, tended by gayly
dressed shepherds playing on pipes.
Picturesque towns and villages were
peopled by youths and maidens, who
tripped down to tie shore singing
quaint airs. Every stopping place re-
vealed such scenes, all strlkingly alike.
This was the secret of the Arcadian
spectacle: Potemkin had forced all
these people to leave their homes in
little Russia and to betake themselves
to the shore, so that Catherine and her
guests in passing might see nothing but
happy villages and loyal subjects.
No sooner had the galleys moved ION
than the people, taking cross roads by
night, transplanted themselves to the
next sham village and vent through the
same performances. Over a thousand
villages of Little Russia were depopu-
lated in this manner. In their long
journey home many of these forced ac-
tors died of fatigue and want.

OUR LITTLE WHITE SLAVES.
One-Fffth of American Children he.
tween 10 and Is WaCe rarnerS

One-Fffth of American Children Be-
tween 10 and 10 Wage Carriers.
Good specimens of humanity. good
specimens Of the genus homo, do not
grow in mines. in dungeons, in prisons
or in treadmills, says writer in Field
and Stream. As the child is physically,
so Is the man. The hope of England Is
In her colonials. The hope of America
is in her countryfolk. The hope Of
American children is in the outdoor
air. Surely If any in the world are en-
titled to unrestrained hours of light and
life and sunshine, it is the little chill
dren. Therein lies the hope Of the
country.
And yet one-fifth of all the children
of the United States between the ages
of 10 and 10 are at work. There are
100000 little children working for
wages In America to-day. They are in
the coal mines Of Pennsylvania. the
mills Of New England, the factories of
New Jersey, the cotton mills of the
South owned by Northern capital.
They do not see the green grass, the
blue sky at the very time Of life when
those things have their chiefest virtue
in the foundation of physical health
and vigor. They are slaves, and such
pitiful slaves, little white American
slaves. They do not know the forests.
the fields, the waters.
As nation we will pay the price for
this, for all slave labor exacts an exor-
bitant price at one time or another. At
the present child labor does its hide
best at swelling the enormous totals Of
American industrial figures. These lit
tie children, who ought to be padding
In the water or runD.ng through the
woods, help give us what we call our
commercial supremacy. This is only
for a time. This state Of affairs will
presently undermine that supremacy
which now we claim. The sort of
Americanism which we have to-day
does not seem to us sane from any
point OF view, nor promising any sort
OF national excellence In the future.

Country roads are an ever present Is
sue. No country can succeed unless
said country has plenty of good coun-
try roads. There is nothing that is so
near success as an agitation along this
line. Everybody and every interest
back the agitation for good roads The
city man wants them for comfort, the
country man wants them for convent
ence. Nobody is directly opposed to
their construction. In consequence of
that fact every one ought to be most
willing to lend the helping hand. PEG.
pie who generally stand aloof upon oc
casions should not overlook this oppor
tupity of getting in line for immediate
consideration. The building of good
country roads is something in which
every one is deeply interested. The
future holds no more promising results
than successful compromise upon the
proposition of building good country
roads. Once that desire upon the part
Of tse public is responded to everybody
will be happy. The wise and conserva-
tive county commissioners act along
those line.-Austin (Texas) Statesman.

The modern methods Of agriculture
tea n that rotation of crops is essen
tial for the best results, and especially
Is it necessary in order to keep up soil
fertility. A correspondent asks: "How
can you recommend the rotation of
crops so strongly when experiment sta
tons grow corn yeai after year on the
same field?v Our reader evidently re-
fers to the work of the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station, but either forgets to
refer to their methods. or else is not
familiar with them. On this farlous
farm the soil is kept in the highest
state of fertility by proper methods,
and while it is true that corn follows
corn. it is only because clover is grown
as well, the plan being to SOW crimson
clover at the last cultivation of the
corn, which is used as green forage in
the spring, and the corn stubble is
plowed under and the same method
again followed. If ii were not for the
high fertility of the crimson clover
each year, it would not be possible to
follow corn with corn year after year

Autos Kill Good Roads Movement.
To prevent automobile 'scorching
through its streets, by which its inhab-
itants are daily menaced, the village OF
Crawford, y. j., plans to erect at every
crossing bumpers which can be safely
passed at moderate pace, but which
would prove highly dangerous to the
autolst attempting to drive through
town at anything like record-breakins
speed
That looks like the beginning of the
end OF tie good roads movement. All
tho elaborate arguments about the
value of macadam to the farmer and
the villager fail before the greater need
of self-preservation. The country resi-
dent of ten years ago wished to live on
a good road. The country resident to-
Gay in a region infested by automo-
biles may wish to live near good roads,
bur he prefers the road that passes his
own door to be bad enough to prevent
overspeeding. He will even pay taxes
to make it bad by the building of OBJ
structions. as at Crawford, rather than
TO increase his danger by making im.
provements.
1t is the automobile as at present
used-or rather misused-that is xiii
ing the good roads movement through
out the country; the selfishness and
carelessness of a few working TO the
great detriment of the many.

BACK TO PULPIT.
what Food Did for a Clergyman


A minister Of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape Nuts food brought him back
to his pulpit: "Some five years ago
l had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe, which left me in complete
state of collapse, and l suffered for
some time with nervous prostration.
Ny appetite failed, l lost flesh until
l was mere skeleton, life was a bur-
den to me, l lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save my
precious wife.
'Thcn on the recommendation OF
some friends began to use Grape Nuts
food. At that time l was a miserable
skeleton, without appetite and hardly
able to walk across the room; had ugly
dreams at night, no disposition to en-
terrain or be entertained and began to
shun society.
II finally gave up the regular minis
try indeed l could not collect my
thoughts on any subject, and became
almost hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for short
time l discovered that / was taking on
new life and my appetite began to i'm
prove; began to sleep better and my
weight increased steadily had lost
some fifty pounds, but under the new
food regime have regained almost my
former weight and have greatly Inn

In the State of Iowa there are 1922
AS miles of public roads. Less than
1900 miles is surfaced with gravel and
less than 300 with stone. The country
road fund is derived from a tax which
does not exceed one mill on tie dollar.
The township road fund may be as high
as four mills. All able bodied male
residents between the ages of 81 and 40
arc required to work two days, which
labor is valued at S1.50 per day. The
property tax amounts TO about two and
g quarter millions and the labor tax
seven hundred and sixty-two thousand
making a little over three millions all
told. This amounts to about thirty dol
lars per mile of public road and about
one dollar and forty cents per inhabit-
snt. According TO this report. which
is issued by the Office of public roads.
the State of Iowa has got big problem
to solve. Sentiment for better roads IS
spreading. but the material for macad-
am is scarce. There are other methods
advocated and il is confidently expected
that some system will be devised where
by the highways of the State may be
Improved in satisfactory manner at
reasonable cost.

ing of an American who was being
shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the
loouacious guide referred to the vari-
Gus points of interest in connection
with the tomb, the American paid the
greatest attention to all that was said.
ssThis immense sarcophagus," de-
claimed the guide, weighs forty tons.
Inside of that, sir, is a steel receptacle
weighing twelve tons, and inside of
that is a leaden casket, Theoretically
sealed, weighing over two tons. Inside
of that rests a mahogany coffin con-
tanning the remains of the great man."

Two Dnirying DeIu.ions.

The objection has been made that If
all cows were brought up to high
standard of production it would bring
down the p.ice of the products. said
W. ID. Hoard, of Wisconsin, at the late
Illinois State Farmers Institute. Keep
ing poor, unfit cows for the purpose of
holding up prices of butter and milk is
hard ON the constitution. The surplus
of dairy products comes from the COWS
that bring no profit TO their owners.
Eliminate the poor cows and there will
be no surplus. Too many farmers keep
their eyes on the market They can
not affect the price one dot or title.
They can If they will reduce the cost
of production. Lots of money is to be
made by wiser administration of the
farm end of the business. This is the
only end that is wholly within our con-
troll Right here reigns supreme the

Bignon's Humor.

The recent death of Bignon, the IA

many stories about him. Among his
patrons was Aurelien ScholI. 1t was
he who told of a little mistake in ad-
dition to which he once called Bugnon's
attention. On two successive DAYS
Scholl had ordered precisely the same
dejeuner. For the first the charge was
% francs; the next day, the bin was

this? A discrepancy of francs, and
for the same items.
Strange, indeed" said Bignon: ~

diant. Just as / thoughts The cash.
Ter made mistake against herself of
francs yesterday. But l will not
make you pay it,"
Another day, Prince Demidoff glanced
at his bill and saw a fish put down at
6 francs. 1.-The devil,' he exclaimed !;
fish must be scarce this year."
"Oh, no. affably replied Bignon. iii
Is not fish that are scarce, but Prince
