Judge Is Better Acquainted.

One day while John a. Peters, late
chief justice of the supreme court of
Maine. was presiding at Bangor, he
was asked by counsel to suspend court
a few moments in order to pass upon
the eligibility of two candidates who
had applied for naturalization papers.
TIE chief justice graciously con-
scented and the two men presented
themselves at the bar with their wit
Gesses. One of these witnesses was a
great personal friend of the judge, and
his honor called this friend first, then
the following collOquy occurred:
How long have you known DR..
Times and son?
About seven years. your honor"
''Then. with a merry twinkle in his
eyes. the judge remarked: Huh, |

Local JOttingS.

The Ladies' Aid of the Con-
gregational church will meet with
Mrs. VIM. Starr, Friday afternoon
at the usual hour. A good attend
ance is desired
john Schilgen, the enterpris-
ing young farmer of Beetown,
bought one bull and two heifers
from VIM. Carmody's fine herd of
Reg. Hereford cattle. The bull is
sired by Lincoln 5th, and his dam
is by Shadeland 10th. The heifers
are sired by Carmody's great herd
bulls, Acrobat 9th and Dale Boy.
Their dams are grand daughters of
Anxiety 4th. Mr. Schilgen is surely
starting with some high bred cattle.
Rt. Rev. W. w. Webb D. D., will

Lancaster merchants and mar
ketm~n are preparing for a big
Thanksgiving and holiday trade.
There have been some fears that
the price of turkeys for Thanksgiv-
ing would go beyond the reach of
those of modest means, and many
were asking "What will Thanks
giving be without turkey?" While
turkeys are more scarce than in
former years, the price will not be
materially higher. 1t will range
from IA to IL cents. Spring chickens
are plentiful, and the market will
be lower If anything. The fancy
ones are selling at Is cents. Choice
cuts of beef, however, will be more
in demand than fowls. Cranberries,
oysters and other almost necessary
adjuncts to the annual family
gathering will be no higher than in
other years. Canned goods are said
to be in good demand, and mer
chants are selling them at no adj
vance, though the wholesale cost is
greater, Canned pumpkin, corn,
tomatoes and fancy peas go well
with the Thanksgiving dinner. Plum
pudding is about as popular dish
as can be set on the table. 1t is
perhaps one of the most wlshed-for
dishes of which the ingredients have
advanced in price. Eggs show no
signs of getting lower. Butter is

COST nE FLOODS.

not long ago was put upon much
more effective working basis, has un-
dertaken as one of it's tasks the solu-
ton of the problem Of floods in rivers.
1t is estimated that the Kansas river
floods of 1903 destroyed $20,00O,000
worth of property and 100 lives. One
of the most fertile valleys in the coun-
try, 120 miles long, was partly destroy
ed, its rich SOL being cut away in
places, while o~her portions were COW
cred with sand to a depth of six or
eight feet. Out of 100000 acres of very
fertile soil 10000 were completely de-
stroyed, while 10000 acres more lost
80 per cent of their value.

A QUERY ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA.

A central Iowa reader of this de-
partment writes stating that she and
her father have taken up a claim in
Stanley county, s. D., and wanting to
know what they can raise to best ad-
vantage. The father has gardened, but
not farmed. They will hire their break
ing done, having but one horse, and 1t
will have to be counted on to till the
crops raised. Particular inquiries are
made relative to raising beans, onions,
potatoes and sunhOwerS. During the
past three years there seems to have
been abundant moisture for growing
crops through practically all portions
of North and South Dakota. On the
assumption that the character of the
soil is suitable aud that meteorological
conditions continue as they have of
late years, we see no good reason why
the products mentioned ought not to
do we'll. A letter received from Pro
fessor James W. Wilson of the State
Agricultural college at BrOOkings, S.
d.. contains the information that all of
the products mentioned, as well as 9th
ers. have been grown successfully i'll
Stanley county, the gist of his reply
being that these products ought to do
we'll if given intelligent care. Both
beans and onions are crops that could
be tended with a single horse or hand
cultiYator, and they will also withstand
considerable drought in case this con-
d.tion should prevail. The Campbell
j.
ders in way of crop returns from many
portions of the semiarid west, and
We're we a holder of land beyond the
Tooth meridian we would certainly
make a careful study of its chief points
with view to being prepared for a
possible drought.

ADANGER TO AVOID.

The recent report Of three deaths In
one family living at Anderson, Ind,
as a result of toadstool poisoning but
gives added force to the suggestion
that it is far safer for people who do
not possess sufficient botanical knowl-
edge to carefully distinguish between
the edible mushroom and its deadly
cousin, the common toadstool. to let
the whole tribe severely alone. While
the mushroom is considered a delicacy
by many and is wholesome enough, the
toadstool is a deadly fungus, there be-
ing practically no antidOte which is
able to counterfeit its baleful effects.
Let the toadstool family alone unless
you are anxious to mature your insur-
ance policy.

GLUTTONY.

The other day at Libertyville. Ill, a
limburger cheese eating contest re-
suited in the death of, the winner, who
got away with a pound Of the stuff.
and nearly finished up the two other
contestants. who were not far behind
him in the amount of cheese consumed.
Doctors who operated on the winner
for appendicitis did not learn until
after his death Of the real cause of his
abdominal distress. Most all contests
involve more or less fOGlhardiness on
the part of those who engage. but the
tribe who seek notoriety by overload
ing their stOmachs with food of any
kind, digestible or not, prove their de-
scent from the ape and demonstrate
their kinship with the beast Of the
field.

UNPROFITABLE.

There is a habit among some farm
ers In buying cattle for their stock
yards to pick them up In the south and
west stock centers. We saw a bunch
of such cattle not long since which the
owner told us he had bought for year
Iings the spring previous when the hair
was long. The fact developed with the
coming of warm weather that he had
been sold along with a few yearlings
a bunch OF western cattle which had
Dr0bshlv not sucked their mothers for

COUNTRY HIGHWAYS.

While the day is doubtless far dis
tant, conditions of population and land
tenure are bound to arise which will
render it an economic necessity to put
into the adjacent fields on either side
generous strips Of the present four rod
country highway. This change could
be made today without waiting for the
Increased population and would result
in vast improvement in the looks of
the highway, as the strips in question
are in all too many instances simply
breeding plots for useless and insight
II grass and weeds.

friend reports an income of $175 from
an acre planted to muskmelons. A
multitude of weeds were killed before

shields cannot be readily obtained a
good way to protect the trunks Of
young orchard trees from rabbits and
mice is to rub them thoroughly from
ground to limbs with some good strong
