Mexico has short crop of cereals
this year and proposes to remove the
tariff duties on grain imported. There
is nothing like hunger to give people
contempt for the tariff.

Just as soon as man is placed in a
country where it is summer all the
year round, where little clothing is
needed and food supply is easy to
get, just so soon he becomes lazy and

and always will be. 1t is always and
ever work, and hard work, which makes

Bronze grass and quack grass are
very closely allied In the matter of
taking complete possession Of the soil
and being extremely difficult to get rid
of when once well established. The
bronze grass should never be sown on
any field which Is included in the reg
ular course of rotation. Its place Is in
the permanent pasture.

A raw story is going the rounds of
the press to the effect that a western
poultryman is feeding large number
Of ducks and geese on buttermilk at
creamery, with the result that the birds
are doing finely and that the butter
milk ration converts their naturally
dark colored flesh into meat as white
as that of chicken. II this were true
1t would be valuable suggestion for
our cOlored brethren who would like to
tighten up their compilations. Some
men are great liars.

We have friend whose share of the
corn notwithstanding 1904 paid
him $13 per acre rent for the use of his

The crop losses Of the west and
northwest this season have been al
most entirely from water and not from
frost or drought. The great need of
this section is to get rid of just such
an excess of rainfall as we have had
this year. Millions Of acres of corn
were ruined by having wet feet during
June and July, preventing proper cult
walton and retarding development at
a critical time; another million acres
of small grain were drowned out. The
truth is that hardly a farm can be
anywhere found where more or less
underdrainage would not pay hun
dredfold. The profits Of the year could
well be invested in this sort of work.

We always like to have the winter
come on gently and easy, the nights
growing a bit colder each week as the
sun sinks little farther and farther
south, the first snow just sprinkle,
soon to melt away, the trees gradually
shifting from their summer green to
their winter browns and grays, have
the wild fowl work slowly south and
tarry awhile and have nature leisurely
go about preparing for the long cold
winter and not have an ideal Indian
summer day wind up with a roaring
north wind and big SHOWS, catching
everybody unprepared and sending the
wild fowl at hundred mile an hour
clip toward the south country, the mer-
CHESS cold finding every crack in house
and barn.

A poor man should take care, and
good care, of his credit. 1t may not be
a big thing In dollars and cents, but it
is worth more proportionately To him
than 1t is to his richer neighbor. Buy
ing in small quantities, as the poor
man must necessarily, he should try to
pay cash, for when to the higher
prices, which. he has to pay as a small
retail purchaser, there is added the
extra charge he pays when buying on
credit he very often pays nearly two
prices for the necessaries Of life.

That "other eighty" has quite often
proved poor investment for the west
ern farmer. Possessed with an In
ordinate lust for land, no sooner is the
old farm paid for than 1t is again
mortgaged to buy that eighty. This
works badly in many ways. 1t is
probable that the old homestead fur
nishes all the acres which the owner
can probably work. Then just 80
long as a mortgage hangs over the
farm just 30 long 10 kept up series
OF pinching economies to meet the In
terest and pay on the principal. which
not only tell on the productive power
of the farm, but are all too often re-
fected in all that pertains to living In
the farm home.

We noticed several carloads of range
steers on their way to market the other
day. They came from the far west,
and, what was rather remarkable, they
were aged steers, probably four to six
years old. They were big, rawbOned
fellows, with great horns on them, just
like the old oxen we used to have, when
a yoke of them hauled an old iron pillow
which would not scour for us when a
boy a good many years ago. This type
Of beef has almost entirely disappeared
from the markets, the three-year-old
steer being about the extreme in point
Of age.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLk.

There is not one acrohatic act in ten which play the Jacques that is able to overcome the deep rooted prejudice that appears to exist here against offerings of that type. and an athletic speciality which can keep the audience in their chairs especially if it happens to be the last number on the bill, certainly possesses uncom- mon faculties of entertaining. Such an act is the headline feature of the play-card at the Jacques this week, and it is presented by the Three Ren- ards. It is hard to pick the most pop ular of the supporting numbers on the menu, but Emmett Devoy and his company in the, laughing success, 'sThe Saintly Mir Billings" certainly gives the rest of the field great run for the honors. Fanny Rice in her distinctive novelty impersonations; Snyder and Buckley in thei comedy musical potpourri: the Garrity Sis ters, singers and dancers: Tanner and Gilbert in How to Make Love-; Mitchell and Cain in d machine gun talking skit, and the electrograph, with a set of fascinating children's pictures, complete the bill. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents. matinee 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 cents. Tele- phone 1090. Reserved seats.

But I--" began the old man No; please don't" and she gently pushed the old man back into the seat. After the ear had passed Baynton street the old man again attempted to rise. T beg of you sir. please don't the young woman said. She was pretty and her dalntily-gloved hand once more rested on his shoulder as she gently pushed him back After three more blocks the aged passenger made a third at tempt, once more the fair one per sisted. Please don't Your age en- titles you to seat" she sweetIy said, as that hand once more rested on his shoulder. T know, miss, but " No buts, please. l can stand!' And she posed for four more blocks, until the old man once more ventlIred to rise from his seat. Again the pretty creature argued Really. l don't mind it, sir" she said.

LEONCAVALLO.

Few of Leoneavallo's auditors who watch his masterIy handling of the orchestra from the great opera house of Milan, Italy. which will give a con cert in Music hall. this city, on Tues day evening. October 23, are aware of the fact that the noted composer began his career as a professional pianist. His first appearance in con cert was in Egypt, where his uncle was director of the press at the for eign office. He was permitted through this influence to play at the court of the khedive, and so skillful was his handling of the pianoforte that he was at once appointed private musician to Mohammed Handy, the brother of the viceroy. He received promises of still further honors and emoluments. when war broke out be- tween Egxpt, and England. After the defeat of the Egyptians appeared in- evitable. Leoncavallo, who accom- panied the royal arms, escaped from the camp in the disguise of an Arab. For the Music hall concert in this city the first seventeen rows down stairs will be s2. the next seven rows s1.50 and the rest s1. The balcony will be s2 entire.

 ludicrous situations ensue and the audience is in good humor until the curtain descends. The first act starts off so we'll that one would imagine the best comedy of the year was at hand. But the remainder of the per formance is not up to the standard of the first act, although the third Is a fairly good one. Joseph Vince lock, Jr, as Edward Swinger. just out of college. was right at home in the role and gave splendid enactment of the boy just finishing his college ca reer, with no money and no profes- sion. Eugene Jepson, as Septimus Pickering, the gruff old fellow whom
 the young college stripling had to deal with, pleased the audience, as did the rest of the company, although
 Desmond Kelly as Caroline Picker ing was not as strong as the other prominent members of the company.

ter understood as the pursuit of
 money. Everyone seems enthusiasti-
 cally interested in the wild scramble for wealth. It is the very pulse Of
 the nation, the heart throb of all
 nations. How strange is it then to find man whose sole aim is to dis
 tribute his wealth, to impoverish
 himself as quickly as he can rather
 than add to his bank account. Yet,

 wizards of the amusement world, who have displayed a genius for accom- plishing stage wonders hitherto un- thought of, who are solely and alone responsible for the existence of the
 magnificent New York Hippodrome

 managers of "Brewster's Millions"
 which production serves as their in- troductory offering to the strictly dramatic stage. Montgomery Brew ster ("Monty'D finds himself the heir to a million dollars on the death of his grandfather. No sooner does he come into possession of his money than he inherits an enormous fortune of seven millions from an uncle
 whom he has never met. This second inheritance is withheld for a year and is payable only on condition that
 he spend the grandfather's million
 within year, scattering the old
 mans money so that not one dollar
 of it remains. There must be no en- i dowments. no monuments to the old

HAYS WINNERS.

Considerable gossip is going the
rounds in Fulton about the small vote
polled in West Fulton precinct by
n. B. Hays.
Those familiar with the political
complexion Of the Hays men who
worked on the streets OF Fulton
election day are not in the least sur
prised that Mr.. Hays only received
eight votes. These workers are the
same people who we're too cool TO
vote for the martyred Goebel.
These are the same men who voted
againei Jim Miner and Luby Har-
grove, the Fulton boys who we're
nominated by the Democrats Of
Fulton county for couR,y clerk and
county Judge. These are the same
parties Who are always opposing
everything representing progress.
They stand for nothing. They
represent the negative side no
matter what the proposition may be.
Like an empty wagon they make lots
Of noise and raise lots Of dust but
that is all.
II these parties had been sincere.
Why did they not file a contest al
Hickman and get the county com
mittee 10 90 in the ballot boxes and
count the ballots? Not an election
officer in the ward to which these
fellows refer ever scratched a dem
ocratic ticket. Can these men who
are doing so much big talk say the
samef AS matter Of fact, few II
any OF these Hays workers we're
entitled 10 a vote ia the DemocI attic
primary and when the officers Of the
election allowed them 10 vote they
had TO strain a point 10 do il.
Fulton Democrats do not propose
20 allow this gang 10 run the town
and the sooner they find Il out them
selves the better of the committee
will be. II they are for Hickman
over Fulton on all propositions they
should pick up their doll rags and
20 there 10 live--or else be good
Fulton Leader.
A sore toe is always getting
"stumped." Don't you know the
issue is not between Hickman and
Fulton. What has the Governor
race 70 do with Hickman and Fulton
II you would stop stirring up strife
there would be nothing but peace
and good viii between the two towns
Don't stump your sore toe 50 much
