No, gentle reader, the president
does not stop and talk with you, or
inquire about all the home folks at
Podunk Corners. or hand you a cup
of tea, and ask, chow many lumps?''
or beg chew of tobacco. Nor does
he ask if you are living the strenuous
life; and, certainly, he is not i'm
polite enough to inquire how often the
stork has perched on your chimney,
and if you are doing your full duty to
your country and to posterity, and by
your example combating race suicide.

ing out my way, whether we have
bears, and intended to tell him that
we have no Polar bears running at
large. All that would stop the pro-
cession, and the carriage tongue be-
hind you would rub all the paint off

on briskly and keep off the grass. It
is done soaquickly, this running of

eye has to focus rapidly to take it all
in.
The president manages to get deal
of fun out of his meet with the plain

GEORGE DEANS FARM.

GEORGE DEANS FARM.
Formerly Wilderness But Now a Very
Profitable Estate.
We recently gavesan account of our
visit at the farm of Jacob Rudisill
Since that our attention has been
directed to the farm of County Com.
missioner Deans, and we think that it,
too, is worthy of notice. We are not
IN position to give as detailed an
! account of this farm as we would like
to give, but we will state few facts
that have come to our notice. This
farm consists of 400 acres, located on
the road leading south from Foreston,
and about one and one-half miles dis
tant from that town. When Mr..
Deans bought the land a few years
ago it was almost a wilderness.
Nearly all of the heavy timber had
been taken off and the stumps were so
thick that in many places it was
difficult to drive a team between them.
The farm was covered with a heavy
growth of poplar brush and there was
down timber enough to supply small
town with wood for several years.
But since the land has come into Mr..
Deans possession all of this brush
and down timber have been removed,
a large number of acres cleared of
stumps and new buildings have been
built. The farm shows the thrift and
energy of which Mr.. Deans is pos
sessed, but he says that it took money
to do all this work. When he bought
this farm the most prominent idea he
had in mind in connection with farm
ing was the dairy business, and he at
once started small dairy. He has
Increased it until now he keeps about
so COWS and a large number of young
stock. Mr.. Deans has shown enter
prise in that he has purchased a
thoroughbred roam shorthorn bull to
improve his dairy stock. He thinks
the roam shOrthorn better breed for
dairy purposes than the red short
horn, but this idea of improving a
herd of COWS by introducing
thoroughbred male is the correct one,
and when farmers quit breeding from
scrub stock and breed from thorough
bred they will begin to advance in the
dairy business, and not till then. So
Mr.. Deans is on the road to success.
My idea in writing these articles on
improving farms and stock is to try
and stimulate farmers to aspire to
higher standard of farming and dairy
ing. There has been great improve
ments made during the last few years,
but we have not yet reached the sum-
nit.
Hicks weather representation
from the Sth to the 18th of this month
were for hard transforms, thunder,

think that the atmosphere on Satur-

was much thunder or lightning in it
anyway. We have more faith in the
farmous ground hog than we have in
Hicks, and the weather since the first
OF February upholds us in our belief

Misfortunes.

Muncie, Ind, Oct. 5. Loren A.
Walling, Of Ohio avenue, thinks he
has met with all the accidents that
are coming to him" within the last
few months, but is still expecting
more. First he fell and broke both
bones in his right forearm Two
months later Walling was watching a
man at work with pick when a stone
glanced and broke the forearm in the
same place. This break had just fair
ly healed when he fell and broke his
elwbow the third time. He got we'll of
that. however, and last week broke
the same elbow again by falling
against a shelf. While he was engaged
in breaking his forearm he managed
to displaee his ankle twice.
In the same class is Walter Tyner,
employed at the American rolling mill.
4 few weeks ago he slipped and fell
on a mass of hot scrap iron. He was
severely burned, and a piece of hot
iron penetrated his arm. On recover
ing and returning TO work he ran into
a workman carrying a heavy load Of
sheet iron. and was so badly hurt it
was again necessary for him to quit
work. Both of his arms were then in
sings. A day or two ago he was up
town when a blood vessel in his left
ankle burst, Gripping him.

PALMA NOT READY FOR WAR
He Had Used Cuban Money in Peace
able Matters.

The next dispatch from Steinhardt,
dated Havana, Sept 10, says that
Palma will do what he can, but, Stein
hardt says, Palma had applied the pub
lie funds in public works and public
education, but not in the purchase Of
war material. The rebels, on the other
hand, had been preparing for war for
some time. The State department re-
plies Sept. II that the president be-
ieveS actual, immediate Intervention

Then it is suggested that it might be

phatic warning as to the certainty that

Steinhardt in reply, dated Sept II,
sent a memorandum made by the Gu
ban secretary Of state showing that
the rebels were too strong for the gov
eminent; asking for Intervention

claring the situation grave. and a mas

Another dispatch from Steinhardt OF
the same date, Sept. u, asked that q
message to the effect suggested in the
foregoing, conveying a warning Of in

States charge d'affaires at Havana TO
be communicated to Palma, and Civ
en- at the same time TO the press. But
it was asked that there he no refer
ence in this message to any compro-
mise with the rebels. Then on Sept.
IL, Steinhardt cabled that Palma,
through him, asked officially for inter
vention; that Palma had irrevocably
resolved to resign and deliver the gov
eminent to such representative Of the
United States as that government
might designate.
Palma did this to save the island
from anarchy. says Steinhardt, and on
Sept. II he further cahled that Palma
would not remain in the presidency
even if the rebellion should cease ut
once; that the cabinet members had
also declared that they would resign.
and the vice president resolved not to
accept the presidency.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Secretary Root
has made public the correspondence
leading up to the Intervention in Cuba.
Theeorresponsence took place between
Consul General Steinhar1t, at Havana,
and Acting Secretary Bacon. Of the
state department. An important feat
ure developed in the dispatches was
that Intervention was asked by the Gu
ban government as early as Sept 8,
and that as long ago as Sept. IA Presi-
dent Palma had determined to resign
as president of the republic, and tnat
the vice president and cabinet minis
tiers had also determined to no longer
continue in office. 1t is also shown that
Intervention by the United States had
long been planned by the Palma gov
eminent, and was communicated TO the
state department in a letter by Consul
Steinhardt as early as Sept. 5.
Rebels Dominant from the First.
On Sept s. Consul General Stein
hardt telegraphed from Havana to the
state department, absolutely confiden-
tial' that Palma admitted inability to
Quell the rebellion and asked that two
United States warships be sent-one to
Havana and the other to Cienfuegos
Palma was to convene the Cuban con-
greSs and congress would ask forcible
United States Intervention. This secret
was known only to Palma, Steinhardt
/ and the Cuban secretary Of state Sent
10 Steinhardt again telegraphed ask
ing prompt reply, as Palma was wor-
ried.
Palma Asked to "Do Things"
To this 'expediter' the state depart
ment replied, Sept. 10, that the ships
had been sent, and said that the Unit
ed States would intervene with great
reluctance; that the Cuban government
must first exhaust its own resources in
an effort to put down the insur-
rection. The message says: 1T is Of
course a very serious thing to under
take forcihle Intervention. and before
/ going into it we should have to be
absolutely certain of the equities of the
