John Ryan and his wife, the penni-
less couple who applied to the Port
Huron police for lodging after walking
all the way from Detroit, will be de-
ported, their former home being To-
ronto.
There was no wedding on the stage
after the local production of "A Cheer
full LIAR" as had been planned at Kali
amazoo, and Manager Charles Soren-
sen was almost mobbed by the big
audience. At the last moment Mrs. M.
A. Thompson carried of her daugh-
ter, Lena Burke, who was to wed
Frank Godshalk, because the manager
would not divide up the proceeds of
the show with the bride-to-be.

When Thomas Nolan shot at his
sweetheart, Mrs. Jane Mccarthy, In
Chicago. Monday night, she keeled
over in a dead faint, but uninjured. So
real was her apparent death that the
would-be murderer turned the revolver
on himself and splashed his brains
all over the ceiling.
Frank Dostal, so years old, of Ra-
cine, Wis, was the father OF triplets.
The event created great excitement
and hundreds of people visited the
home. So overcome was he at the
unusual prominence of the event that
Monday night he cut his throat from
ear to ear and died.

A meeting OF the church had been
called to decide upon the purchase of
new carpets.
The ladies-God bless 'em-had held
entertainments, and worked and saved,
and secured the funds, and now the
male members of the congregation who
had stood by and looked wise, while
their better halves were digging tooth
and nail to accumulate the shekels,
were called together to direct them
where to spend the money.
Parson Goodman called the meeting
to order and asked Hon. Thomas Jones
to take the chair.

Titefist, that we send to Chicago and
get the carpets of Catchem & Doem,
the great catalogue house.
DIR. Cureem's wife seconded the mo-
ton.
Hon Thomas Jones rose in protest.
Brothers and sisters" said he, you
are making a mistake. No community
can prosper that divides its forces.
Its buyers and sellers must work to-
gether."

lieve in buyin' where l can get things

as. "That is one reason why l am a

deacon.

Jones. I'm not built that way. The

sumo my products. He spends his
profits in building up the community

ed the deacon.
He has if you are a fair man." de-
clared the former Nebraska legislator
"He is target every time you fire a

was built, you were the busiest man

Jones. Bogus spices, imitation cof-
fee, sloppy canned goods, refuse stuff

CATS OF THE
SADDLE HORSE

There is no doubt that the horse in
its every variety is a live proposition
nowadays, which farmers are showing
disposition to handle TO the best al.
vantage. In this connection perhaps
the saddle horse is less talked OF than
other classes, yet interest in 1t is not
wanting. To man who has a four
year-old mare-a natural trotser-and
is considering training her for saddle
horse Z. p. Mayo of Maine says in Ru-
raj New Yorker:
To make an ideal saddle horse of his
mare the inquirer should have com
menced at least two years ago. but II
she Is, as he says, very sensible and
he will be a little more patient the 4,
sired result can be accomplished nov
The first thing to be attained is TO
make her good walker, for a slow or
bad walking saddle horse is about the
worst thing out, and she must be
taught that the walk is distinct gait
rs much as the canter or the galiop.
He should not be satisfied until he can
get her where she can walk from five
to six miles an hour OF course if she Is
naturally a fast walker this can easily
be accomplished, but she should never
be allowed to trot while taking her
walking exercise, for it is as much a
misdemeanor for mare walking 10
break into trot as for a trotting mare
to break into run. To acquire the
walking habit requires no special train
ing, but persistent practice, at all times
urging her to walk as fast as possible
without fatigue and not making her
lessons too long at time.
There are three trotting gaits-the jog

A Curious Coincidence.

The story of queer coincidence Is
told by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. While
travelling upon the continent he visited
q certain mountain inn, which was In
winter, he learned, occupied only by
two men. These men. prisoned In
waste Of snow and Ice. had for all that
period no communication with the
world below. Here was a situation for
a novelist! And the novelist accord
ingly began to let his imagination play
about the possibilities of tragedy sur

written, for. happening to come upon
a volume of Guy de Maupassant, which
was new to him, he found therein. I'M

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
Conditions Under Which Ii Ia to BE
Manufactured.


Manufactured.
Jan. 1, 1907, the new free alcohol
law becomes effective, and farmers are
now interested In its probable outcome.
II Is well, In the first place, to under
stand just what the main feature OF
the law is. According to Its wording,
domestic alcohol may be withdrawn
from bond without payment OF inter
nal revenue tax for use In the arts and
Industries and for fuel, light and power,
provided said alcohol shall have been
mixed In the presence and under the
direction Of an authorized government
officer, after withdrawal from the dis
tillery warehouse. with methyl alcohol
or other denaturing material suitable
to the use for which the alcohol is
withdrawn, but which destroys its
character as beverage and renders II
unfit for liquid medicinal purposes,
such denaturing to be done upon the
application of any registered distillery
in denaturing bonded warehouses spe-
cially designated or set apart for de
maturing purposes only and under con
ditions prescribed by the commissioner
of internal revenue" Other details are
also left to the commissioner of inter
nal revenue.
1t is apparent that much of the work
ing out of the new law depends upon
the commissioner of internal revenue,
who, with the approval of the secretary
of the treasury, must prescribe the
regulations under which the manufac-
ture and sale of denatured alcohol may
be carried on. This official, Mr.. Yerkes,
Is said to have already gone to Ger
many, where denatured alcohol has
been for some time in use, TO study the
system under which it is made and sold
and its various uses.

The best oyster experts that know
OF" said the captain Of an oyste., boat,
Judge an oyster by the smell instead
Of by the taste. There is solcGl.rg
about the smell of any oyster that in
dicates its condition to me much plain
er than does the taste. People buy
them and eat them probably on ac-
count of their taste. So also do they
buy tea, coffee and the various grades
of whisky and brandy for their taste.
but all experts on those things pass
upon them entirely by their smell The
professional tea faster or whisky tast-
er, so called. never tastes them, but
simply arrives at their taste by their
peculiarities of flavor or, to speak
plainly, smell. can toll what price

they arrive at the wharf here by open
ing up the hold of the boat and smell
ing. In eight cases out of ten l am
right. 1t strikes oystermen as strange
when they see persons going about
from boat to boat, as they lie at the
wharf, tasting oysters before they con
clude to buy. Taste is all right, but
II they don't smell right they will never
taste right "-Washington Star.

SumIueriag the Pig.

With the present outlook for good
prices for pork, the producers can care
for and feed the pigs with the assur-
ance that they will be well repaid.
The large supply Of old corn available
to feed in connection with pastures
makes the opportunity to secure a good
profit on the pigs that are on hand an
ideal one. Grain, house slops. skim
milk or whey, fed while the pigs get a
good supply of grass and some exercise
in the open field. will make pork cheap
~ and of the best quality.
At present the system Of pork pro-
duction Is a well defined one and gen
orally understood. Instead Of keeping
pigs until they are from year to one
and a half and two years old before
begin to crowd them and fatten for
market. begin while the pigs are yet
young and crowd them along to a
weight that the market demands. But
few are kept on the farm until they are
more than ten months old. I now have
two crops of pigs. one in the fall and
the other during the spring. says cor
respondent Of American Agricultural.
