DON'T RUSH THE MILKING.
Mistake Which Some Farmers Make
to the Cutting Down Of the
Milk Yield.

On the American farm there is al
ways tendency to rush things. The
American farmer generally lays out
for himself very large amount of
work, and then is In great haste to get
through with 1t. Too often when the
mixer goes into the stable he has
the same nervous haste that has been
spurring him on in the doing of the
other farm WORK. Nothing interferes
more with the milk-giving of the cow
tnaa this nervousness. The big mixer
especially Is almost always a nervous
animal. This is especially true of the
Jersey and the Guernsey. We have
seen cows refuse to give any milk
when nervous milker sat down with
a milk pail says the Farmers Review.
Some cows have to be treated with
great deal of care to induce them to
yivo down their milk. The mixer
should always be calm and quiet when
he begins milking. He should assume
that many cows will not stand the
work OF . rapid and excited mixer.

PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Eighteen Persons Killed and
Probably Halt q Hundred
More or Less Injured.
IT fOLLOW.D A CRY OF "FlRE"
A Wild Rush Was Immediately Made
For the Stairs Despite the Ef-
forts of the Pastor.
The Disaster Occurred at the End OF
the Sermon, the Text Of Which
Was: "Why Sit Here
Until We Diew

Philadelphia, Jan. 22.-Bighteen per-
sons were killed and probably half q
hundred injured in a panic following
the cry of Fire" In st. Paul's colored
Baptist church. The services were
being held on the second floor of the
building. A defective flue set fire to
the chimney, causing smoke to issue
through the crevices in the floor near
the pulpit. The room was well filed
with people at the time the cry OF
Fire and coupled with the sight of
smoke threw the congregation into a
panic.
A wild rush was made for the stairs
despite the efforts of Rev. F. w. John
son. the pastor. to allay the fears of
the frenzled people. All wanted to
get out at once, and men. women and
children alike were knocked down and
trampled upon by those pushing from
behind.
The stairway to the first floor had
one sharp turn in IL and the frighten-
ed people became so tightly wedged
IN the bend of the stairs that the frail
wooden balustrade gave way. precipi-
tating many to the first floor.
The crash and the screams and
shrieks of the women and children
added to the frenzy OF those above.
They did not stop in their onward
rush to get out. Notwithstanding the
wide open doors on the first floor lead
ing to the street, the crush was so
great that IS persons had the life
stamped out Of them before the panic
was ended.
A great crowd gathered and the
work Of rescue was promptly started.
Dead and injured were quickly taken
to hospitals and nearby houses.
The fire was only trifling. the flames
being extlnguished before the firemen
arrived.
The disaster occurred while a col
lection was being taken up. The pas
tor had just concluded his sermon,
the text Of which was why Sit
Here Until We Die?"

Save Their Powder.

Hyenas are never shot by Arabs. Not
that the Arab venerates or supersti-
tiously fears the hyena. He simply pre-.
fers TO hunt 1t with dogs rather than
waste his precious powder and shot on
a beast whose cowardice he despises.
For the poet Thomson was in the re-
gion Of myth when he spoke OF "the
keen hyena, fellest of the FELL" and
also In describing It as 'scorning all
the tanning arts OF man"-hyenas. In
fact, being quite tameable. It Is crea-
ture about which much myth has gath
cred. In the seventeenth century 1t
was commonly believed to change Its
sex from year to year and deliberately
to initiate the human voice. SO that 1t
might learn a mans name and call
him out of the house to devour him.
Also 1t was credited with having a
stone in its eye which was OF great
value to jewelers..

INDICTED FOR REBATNG.
Burlington R. R. and Two Of It's Officials
Caught.

Chicago, Ills. Dec. 30.-The
federal grand jury late today re-
turned an indictment against the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad: Darius Miller, first vice
president, and G. G. Burnham,
foreign freight agent, on the
charge of granting railroad re-
bates.
The indictment charges that the
rebates were all granted to the
United States Steel Products Com
pany, of New York, a subsidiary
company to the United States Steel
Company. All of the shipments
on which the indictment alleges
rebates we're made from six cities
.-Elwood, Ind, Martins Ferry,
o.. Pittsburg, Pa, Newcastle,
Pa, Cleveland, O., and Joliet iii.
to Vancouver, B. c. Twenty
six separate offenses are charged.
The indictment further alleges
that, by an agreement between
the defendants and a number of
connecting railroads, a joint tariff
was made and filed with the inter
state commerce commission. The
freight rates were paid, it is de-
clared in the Indictment, accord
ing to the tariff, but afterward a
rebate of about 80 per cent was
allowed to the shipper.

THERE ARE Two siDEs.
Nest Questions are Built That Way
This One Has Three.

A business man the other day
suggested that we ought to urge
the people over the county to
begin the new year by cutting
out the mail order business. +"
Well, we make it, and in making
it we mean it.
= If you send to Kansas City, Chi
cago. or or some other city for
$1,000 worth of goods, and after
paying the freight, postage, ETC.,
have saved $1.OO on the deal, or
got the goods that much cheaper
than you could have got them in
your home town, that's your bus
mess. But it is not a home build
ing business. 1t is giving the city
man a small per cent of profit,
the railroad or express company a
little more business, but it is not
helping to make a market for
your butter, eggs, poultry, and
other output of the home; and it
is not aetting one cent of the prof
it on the 5000 worth of goods
remain in your home town or
county, to help pay taxes, build
churches or school houses. That
is the merchants side of the ques-
ton.
On your side, you argue that
the home merchant should take
less profit. Should not want to
get rich too fast, and if he insists
on doing so, you elect to send
your money out of the county and
help him to go busted"- which
ten of him does where one farmer
breaks up.
Now permit US to say just a few
words as to our side: We know
of merchants who send away to
the large printing houses for
their letter heads, envelopes, state
ments and other printing. We
knoW.of other business men other
than merchants who do the same.
And why's Because they get the
work done just a little cheaper
than they are asked for it by the
home printer.
