NAL dies or drags out a miserable

the colt, all the old bedding which
has become saturated with the fluids
incident to parturition and the after
birth should be Immediately removed.

going conditions the colt happens 10

ply; in such a case the milk heats in
the bag and gives the foal the scours;
this further weakens the colt and the
nourishment furnished by the few
cred and nervous dam prevents its
recovery and it dies. Hundreds Of
colts are lost every year in this way.
The necessity Of watching the mare
and drawing off any excess of milk
over that which the colt needs cannot
me too strongly emphasized.
The observance of these conditions
will diminish the losses in raising
colts in very large measure. In fact,
1t would make such a thing as weak
or worthless colt startling exception.

The Right to KILL

In the Manhattan Congregational
Church of New York city the Rev.
Henry A. Stimson, the pastor, in the
course of a series of sermons on the
ten commandments, spoke recently of
''The Right to Kill" He pointed out
that the sixth commandment reads, in
the revision: "Thou shalt not mur-
der" 1t was law for a primitive
state of society and was directed
against revenge and the reckless in
diligence of passion. 1t taught the su-
perior value of life and was neces-
sary to the beginning of human So
ciety. He said:
1t has no direct bearing upon the
questions of capital punishment, or
of vivisection, or of the taking of life
for other than selfish or sinful con-
siderations.
We find everywhere in nature a
predatory instinct, If not a predatory
principle. The higher organism lives
upon the lower, or uses the lower, for
its own purpose; the organic makes
use of the inorganic, the vegetable of
the mineral, the animal of the plant
and the feebler animal, and man of
all. Everywhere the interest of the

shown, for example, that the highest
good of the state requires the taking
of the life of a criminal-or, indeed,
of any man, as the soldier or the men
In mob-there is not only no divine
law against 1t, but 1t is in the order
of nature. OF course, the state has to
face the responsibility of the proof
that 1t is for the highest good, and
will surely suffer IL 1t makes a mis-
take. Capital punishment becomes a
simple question of expediency, which
the lawmalking power must settle.

pies in the northwest. The prizes Of
fered consist of $10O each, one to be
given in 1912, one in 1918, one in 1914,
one in 1915 and one in 1916, They are
offered for the best late winter seed
ling apple, keeping at least until
March under ordinary cellar condi-
tions.
The trees bearing this fruit must
have been grown from seed planted
since the making of this offer, that
is, planted next spring or some sue
ceeding spring.
Send for entry blanks and fuller de-
tailed information, which can be had
from Sec. A. w. Latham, Minneapolis,
Mimi, upon application. Mr.. ]. A.
Howard of Hammond, Mimi, exhibited
apples at the winter meeting of the
State Horticultural Society grown
from seed planted four years ago.
This example is typical of the hustling
horticulturists and soil of the north
west.
Boys and girls, here is an oppor-
tunity to earn 500 in lump and pos

at the office or buy several and have
them sent by freight.
There are many cheap books. Some
cloth bound books can be bought at
nine cents each, but the paper and

recommend getting only we'll bound
books and good paper
Our large experience in selecting
books for school libraries, together
with our experience with children,
places us in a position to assist par
ents greatly in the selection of a
home library for the children.
Any parent interested and desiring
to purchase home or school library
may write to the Home and School
Department editor for any informa-
ton desired on this matter.
In general way we would state
that boys take most interest in books
of travel and adventure, while girls,
as rule. are more interested in fic-
ton and poetry. We must direct the
young mind into proper channels and
see that they get the greatest good for

The influence Of the Baby.
The following, taken from the Chi
cago American. seems to be suitable
to our columns, SO far as it goes.
What do you think of it?
Babies have done the work of
transforming men from utterly sell
fish. harsh, worthless, self-indulgent
animals. into what they are now,
namely, fairly good IMITATION of
"And the good work which children
HAVE DONE among men by making
them kinder and more considerable to
women and to other children and to
other men will continue for many CELL
turtles to come.
'sThe child educates the man."
This is a thing for the fathers and
mothers to remember. 1t is a thing
for the bachelors and the old maids
to remember. if they wonder what
makes them SO dry and cold and in
different. A woman and a man who
reach certain age without children
are like geranium that hasn't been
watered for month or two. They
lack what they most need-BABIES
"This is the day of all days to tell
people about the influence of the
small baby on the big man. We ask
our readers to take up the idea If
they have babies at home, let them
look up to those babies as educators
and teachers. And if they haven't any
babies. If they are gloomy old bache-
lors or old maids, let them go and
get married as quickly as they can
and realize that one, small, toothless,
ugly looking baby can do more for
them in six weeks than all the SER
mons and all the books and all the
philosophy in the world"

AGAIN IN THE TOLLS.
Men Charged With Forcing Glunt to
Sign Check Re.arrested.

John and Andrew Furnlie, of Bert
hold, have been re-arrested upon the
the charge of extortion and yesterday
afternoon they had a preliminary
hearing before Judge Davis. Readers
of the Reporter will remember that
these brothers were charged by Phil
Up Glunt, of Berthold, with forcing
him to sign an order upon the Bert
hold bank for SO and at the same
time threatening to kill him If he
refused. The case came up for hear
ing some time ago before Judge Davis,
but States Attorney McGee was not
here and the fact that the complain
ing witness failed to appear, was re-
sponsible for the case being dismissed.
A new complaint was made out
against men and as RESULT they APP
peared before Judge Davis for a pre-
liminary hearing. Johnson & Mes
tos appeared for the defendants and
Joseph Denoyer represented the state
in absence Of States Attorney MCGEE.
1t was agreed to between the attor-
neys that as the order given the Furn-
lie brothers by Glunt was supposed
to be in the possession of the states
attorney at Fargo that it would be
allowed to be entered later and the
case continued over.
Glunt was the first witness and
he stated that he had been attacked
by the boys at his barn and forced
to sign the order, the boys threaten
ing to kill him IL he refused. Glunt
Is man IS years of age.
Mrs. Glunt was placed on the stand
by the state and gave evidence simi-
lar to that given by her husbands
The case was then continued over
until Saturday to await the return
of the states attorney.-Minot Re-
porter.

Washburn Leader: Did you ever
notice that when a successful farmer
comes to town these cold days, the first
thing he does after hitching his team
is to blanket them. The man who is
success is the one who is kind to the
dumb brutes over which he has charge.
Our attention has of late been called
to several teams which have been
driven a long distance and then tied
up to post for half day, without
a blanket or covering of any kind.
There they stand and SILVER, while

HOW TO RAISE COLTS.

A writer in the Dakota Farmer gives
the following interesting methods of
raising colts:
In these times when a very ordinary
horse represents 500, first-rate
horse from $125 to $175, it behooves
the horse raiser to give close atten-

To the horse raiser who produces a

OLDEST BODY OF HUMAN.
Remains of q Man Who Is Thought to Have Lived at Least
 5000 B. c.

The oldest body of any human being NOW repOses in the Egyptian gallery of the British museum. says the Ameri- can Antiquarian It Is the body of a man who was buried in a shallow grave hollowed out of the sandstone on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt. This man must have hunted along the banks of the Nile before the time of the earliest mummied king which the museum possesses-before the time of Menss. vho was supposed to have ruled Egypt at least 5000 B. C. There were previous to that time tvo prehistoric races. one the con qusrors. and the other the conquered. from which sprsng the Egyptian race of the earliest dynasties.

WOMEN WHO LIKE TO STAND
Street Car Conductor Says They Do ... It to Keep Their Clothes , Unwrinkled.

By the time the car reached For. tieth street there were no fewer than a dozen vacant seats, but the girl in the new tailor-made gown refused to avail herself of their hospitality, re- lates the New York Press, The mes- senger boy pointed them out to her. So did the woman in blue and the man with the red beard, but to all invita- tions to make herself comfortable the tailored girl said: NO, thank you. l get off soon.' and continued to lurch backward and forward in the middle of the car.
 The conductor watched her grimly. "I could have .old those folks it was no use to try to make that girl sit down." he said to a passenger on the platform. "She never does. I used to try to get her to rest herself for minute or two. just for a change, but I never could do it. She has been rid ing in my car pretty regularly for about year, and no matter whether the passengers are many or few sell dom have seen her sit down. I used to wonder why she chose to stand up and flop around that way, but havs come to the conclusion that she does 1t because her clothes fit so we'll.

VETERANS IN SEA SERVICE
Officers on the Retired List Who Have Lived Past the Four
 Score,

Although the naval service offers abundant opportunities to escape the pains of longevity, there are great number of officers borne upon the re- tired list who are octogenarians. One rear admiral, George Beal Balch, re- tired, has 5s years service to his cred it, having entered the navy in 1887. Next in seniority is Rear Admiral Aaron Hunkle Hughes. who was ap- pointed a midshipman in 1888.
 The officer who has the longest sea service is Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce. who was on sea duty B years and one month, and entered the service in 1S41. He retains the distinction of being the best sailor man in the navy, and his book on seamanship. first edi- tion 1857, is still the text book at An napolis for the handling of ships under sail. There will be no more sailors like Luce There are some ITO retired officers who joined the navy more than 50 years ago. mostly those retired as rear admirals. but some of them hold ing the old grade of commodore or of captain, who have not been to sea for mora than 50 years. Such a one was Capt Francis Lowry. who recently died at Burlington. Vt He had been retired as a midshipman from wounds received fin the Mexican war after one years service in 1s47. He was promot- ed on the retired list to the grade of captain and was the last officer who had the advantage of promotion under the old law.
 With reference to sea duty. Luce's service is some 13 years in excess of any oficer in the navy. Admiral Dewey has had but IS years and seven months. The next length of sea serv- Ice is Rear Admiral Samuel R Frank lin. retired. whose sea service sums up zs years.

Consul Harris, of Chemnitz, devel- ops another of the great practical methods Germany is using to give her future helmsmen the most thorough educational training. He writes:
 "A number of young assessors, who have practically completed their law studies, have been delegated to spend from six months to year in some of the large business and manufacturing establishments in Chemnitz, Leipzig and Plauen. The manufacturers are satisfied at the step and gladly well come the young men, for the reason that they are interested directly and indirectly in improving the state ser vice, so that affairs pertaining to trade and industries will receive more ap- preciative attention in the future.

HERO 0F vESUv|US
PROF. MATTEUCCI STICKS TO HIS
 POST DURING ERUPTION.
Brave Director of the Royal 0bserva- i, tory, Who, at Risk of His Life, ; Saved Naples from . Panic,

The world is just awakening to the fact that Matteucci, the man who braved Vesuvius in her most violent moods and kept Naples informed and prevented wild panic in the city, is the hero of the hour During all those aw- full days when the volcano was vomit- ing forth its rivers of lava and it's great clouds of ashes, Prof Matteucci remained at his post in the observatory on the top of the mount, and when 1t is realized that the present eruption is the most violent outbreak since that of A. D. 79, when Pompeii and Hercu- laneum were destroyed, we can begin to understand the real sublimity of his heroiSm.
 He has stayed there, in the ruins of the observatory, early wrecked by the hot ashes thrown from the crater of the volcano. His friends implored him to save himself, but he believed that during this terrible time, if at any time at all, his duty demanded that he remain-that he could be of real help to the many thousands of people liv- ing near the volcano by warning them
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-05-05

when further peril was impending, and by reassuring them when the volcano began to show signs of having spent its force.
 And in this belief he has been justi- fled. On Tuesday and Wednesday when the situation was such that even in Naples there was veritable panic, when the people believed that the city was about to be plotted out, when the prisoners in the jail mutinied, and the poorer classes, declaring that the au- thorities were to blame for the loss of many lives, were in the mood for any excess, it was the messages from Mat teucci that furnished the one note of hope. It is, indeed, more than proba- ble that they turned the scale at the critical moment and averted a terrible outbreak on the part of the population.
 The knowledge that this man, in the midst of peril far greater, indescriba- bly greater than that of any inhabi- tant of Naples, remained cool and full of faith that conditions were about to grow brighter, must surely have served to calm the fears of thousands.
 Six years ago the scientific world was startled by reading that an ob- server had camped for three days on the edge of the crater of Vesuvius while the volcano was in violent erup- ton. At that time the boiling lava was within 260 feet of the top of the crater, enormous blocks of stone were thrown out, and great quantities of the sooriae. The observer who camped on the edge of the crater was Prof. Mat teucci. who had then been director of the royal observatory for four years.
 The details later received regarding the proceedings of the professor only served to increase the general wonder at his intrepidity. It was related how, on one occasion, when he was camping not on the edge of the crater, but on the mountain side some distance be- low. the volcano threw up a block of stone of extraordinary size. It rose in the air and came down within a few yards of Matteucci.
 l. What was Matteucci doing in the meanwhile? Running away as fast as his legs could carry him? No. He was standing with stop-wateb in his hand, carefully counting the seconds during which the great mass of stone remained in the air It was up 17 sec onds and, by weighing the stone after ward and going into various elaborate computations, Matteucei was able to announce that the stone. which had travelled at the rate of 300 feet a sec ond. had been elected from the volcano with a force equaling e07,s95-horse power.
 A man who could do this could do anything. and perhaps he has been reckoning the horse power within ve- suvius which has been behind the out break of last week.
