new gun~is called the "New Springfield
Model of 1905" The magazine is on the
Mauser model but has cut off which en-.
ables it to be used as 3 single loader as
well as repeater, SO that in desultory
firing the full magazine charge can be
kept in reserve to be used if necessary.
The gun has stump" appearance, the
barrel being only "a inches long but the
propelliDg power is immense, the power
pressure being 49, 600 pound to the square
inch, the muzzle velocity. of the $500 feet
a second. velocity of 800 feet more than
the Krag Jorgenson in present use and the
bullet will penetrate 6 80 inches of white
pine at 800 yards, distance something
over 5of mile, and about as far as a
thing canbe seen plain enough to be shot
at. The gun is farther equipped with a
16-incli sword bayonet, an efficient weap-
on when welded by hand and terrible
one when in position on the gun.

TOMATO PRICES UP

The Invention OF the sanitary can which
receives tomatoes whole without any
soldering will be great advantage to the
packers, as it saves all trimming, pairing
and cutting expenses making it possible
for them to pay more for good tomatoes
The advertisements of NJ L. Downey,
of Chestertown, and other Peninsula
packers that they will pay $8 per ton for
tomatoes contracted for by farmers this
year will raise the price in this section.
Several packers are now considering a
proposition to offer $S 40 to the growers,
and many farmers are contending that
unless tllev can realize this figure, they
will put their usual tomato acreage this
year in corn.
Farmers about Lewes are refusing to
contract with Gamers for tomatoes at a
regular rate, but will demand the daily
market price.

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE STEAM WHISTLE

Locomotives seventy-ave years ago had
no whistles. The engineer kept by his
side tin horn, which he blew before
curves and dangerous crossings. But the
noise was feeble.
In 1888 an English farmers cart was
run down on the way to market and one
thousands eggs, one hundred pounds Of
butter, two horses and man were lump
ed in one great omelet on the rails. The
railway had to pay the damages. The
president sent for George Stevenson and
said angrily:
s'Our engineers can't blow their horns
loud enough to clear the track ahead.
You have made your steam do SO much,
why don't You make it blow good loud
horn for US.
/. Stevenson pondered. An idea came to
him. He visited a musical instrument
maker and had constructed horn that
gave horrible screech when blown by
steam. From this horn the locomotive
whistle OF to-day descended.

WHEN / FOLLOWED FOLLY
ISABEL S. MASON


Folly danced across my path,
Waving wand i'm hand;
All the little silver bells
Spoke at her command,
And their tinkIe sounded clear:
"Come, OH. come, be jolly,
Cast away dull thought and care
Follow, follow Folly"
Folly's face was fair to see,
Radiant as rose
FolIy's hair was woven night,
Folly's eyes were sloes;
Such an ankle, arm and foot
And such laughter jolly,
To the winds went weary care
When followed Folly.
Bnt one morning Father Time
Glanced to pass me by,
Saw, and slowly shook his head,
Heaved heavy sigh;
Warned I'd find that sobs were hid
Meath that laughter jolly,
But | needed not nor heard
Only followed Folly.
Soon wished I'd listened when
Time took me to task
Soon found fair Fally's face
Was painted mask
Fonnd the sights and sobs she hid
By her laughter jolly,
For she broke my heart. she did
False and tickle Folly.

ing easv.
Why do or farmers avail themselye!
Of much valuable and practical informa
ton when postal card will bring it tc
them?
Robert Fitzsimmons is going to raise
fancy poultry hereafter. Heretofore he
has raised something far different with
the hopes of various pugilists
Since the average COW pays $1,000 a
year profit and the average hen 81 year,
ten hens equals one COW, and that being
true mathematics, how many NANCY
sheep killing dogs equal horse.
One good farmer says that crop of
clover growing on the land for two years
and the crop cnt and removed has done
the land as much good as if fifteen loads
OF manure had been put on to the acre.
As meat proposition for the average
farm there is nothing which beats the l.
500 pound draft colt, which sells for 10
cents pound. 1t brings twice as much
as tia; three-year old steer and costs but
little more to produce.
Ont Of every 100 people in the United
States, ffty.two are farmers. The value
OF farm interests exceeds twenty billion
dollars, of railroads less than twelve BILL
lions and of factories less than ten bill
lions. No wonder the farmer in Amer
lea is a parsonage of Importance.
The department OF agriculture of Ire
land appropriates sum of money to
each county annually for poultry inn
provement There are now employed
thirty instructresses in poultry keeping
and meetings are held for the instruction
OF poultry keepers. The department has
special centers for the distribution OF eggs
of the best breeds.
A statistician has estimated that il one
good grain was added to each ear of corn
grown in one OF the states. of the corn
belt, it would add 5000, 900 to the yearly
product OF the state. If, instead of one
grain, dozen were added or if whole
ear were added to each hill, the grain
would be correspondingly greater, run
ming into the millions in the latter case.
Not only in corn, but in all the products
of the farm, including live stock, i'm
provement is the watch word of the
times.
We are glad to see the President at

The wedding ceremony was performed
by Bishop Satterlee, standing under an
arch of palms on the west side of the
East Room. There would have been a
jungle of greenery about the improvised
altar but for the firm protest made by the
bride-to-be yesterday. She had put her
foot down firmly against having the whole
scene shut off by palms and ferns from
the very people who had come to witness
it, and at her order the taller plants had
been moved back to the wall SO that there
was reasonably pr space in front.
