A BARREL OF WHIsKEY CONTAINS

A barrel of headaches, heartaches, OF
woes.
A barrel of curses, a barrel of blows;
A barrel of sorrow from loving,
weary wife,
A barrel of care, barrel of strife;
A barrel of unavailing regret,
A barrel of care. harrel of debts;
A barrel of hunger, of poison, of pain,
A barrel of hopes all blasted and vain;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight,
barrel of tears that run in the
night;
A barrel of crime, barrel of groans,
A barrel of orphans most pitiful
groans.
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they
pass,
That glow from the liquor in the head
of the glass,
A barrel of falsehods, barrel of cries,
That fall from the maniac's lips as
he dies.

INTO THE SEA
WEAPONS OF REBELS SUNK
THIRTY FATHoMs DEEP.
Taft's Statement That He Would Dis
pose of Them Effectually
Is Verified.

HAVANA, Oct. 24.-The statement
made by Secretary of War Taft on
the eve of his departure from Cuba
that he would put all the arms sur
rendered by the insurgents where
they would do no further harm was
verified today, when company of the
Cuban artillery spent the afternoon
throwing these weapons into the sea
from the outer bastion of MORO Cas-
tie. Thousands of rifles and carbines
were sunk in thirty tathoms of water.
Some unrest continues to prevail
in Purtoo Principe and Santa Clara,
where small bands are committing
minor depredations. The residents of
Holguin requested protection against
a considerable body of ex-rebels and a
battalion of the Eleventh infantry
reached Holguin this Afternoon.
The Mayor of Aguacate, province
of Havana, who was ousted from
Office, was restored to mis- position
Tuesday and organized an armed es-
cort of twenty-five men, alleging that
he feared an attack by the Moderates.
Gov. Magoon tonight ordered Gov.
Nunez to compel the Mayor to sur
render the arms and to bring the
weapons to Havana.

ELECTRICITY
MIXED COWS
Lincoln (Neb.) Cor. Chicago Chron'
icle.]

That the tactical fluid should be
"teased from the humble cow by
means of machinery seems per-
fectly natural step in this age OF in
ventfon and labor-saving devices,
however impossible it would have
seemed to our grandfathers. The
University of Nebraska is now plan
ming to install a number of milking
machines at the State Experiment
Station in order to test their efficacy
and to obtain reliable data. At the
state farm a system of records has
been kept which dates back 10 years,
and it will be interesting to compare
the results obtained by the machines
with those of previous years.
The machines at the State Farm
will be run by electricity, the power
being taken from the trolley wires OF
the Lincoln Traction Company.
Milking machines are said to have
proved a success in New Zealand,
where more than 100 are already in
use. A number of the dairymen in
that country have used them for three
wears. A few machines are now in
use in diaries in Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin, but not many have come
west of the Mississippi River.
Experts declare that if the machine
proves practical it will be of immense
benefit to the dairy business. Great
err production will thereby be made
possible and the quality of the milk,
too. will be improved, because by
this means it can be extracted in a
purer condition than any other way.
Because of the expense of providing
power and equipment the machine
will doubtless be more popular with
the large diaries than the smaller
ones.
The labor problem, which is as vex-
ing in the diaries as it is in the house
hold, will be greatly simplified If the
machine proves entirely practical. 1t
is very hard to get reliable labor for
milking and caring for cattle. With
these machines one capable man can
do the work done by 10 or more now.

Chief Chemist Has Many Applicants
For Scholarship.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The in
tention of DR.. Wiley, chief chemist of
the Agricultural Department, to es-
tablish an alcohol class for the pur-
pose of conducting experiments upon
the effect of alcohol on the system,
will not lack subjects. 1t is reported
that the doctor is getting applications
by the bushel but most of them seem
to indicate that the would-be subject
has already reached such a stage of
alcoholism as would make the test of
little merit.
To get the best test the total absti-
nent is in demand. The applicant who
boasts of his ability to lay up great
quantities of booze and daily makes
good would be a long time showing
the result of the experiments. To be-
gin with. he would probably not be
satisfied with the small daily allot-
ment and gradual increase under con-
temptation. Among the letters DR..
Wiley has received is one from a Bos-
ton man. He writes
81 am one of the leading experts on
booze in Suffolk county, and l hereby
tender my services as tester of the
same. l was brought up on potteen in
the old country; came to America,
worked for a brewer and graduated,
took to the cocktail like Mayfiower
descendant, and have gradually quail
fed as a connoisseur on sour mash,

bations. I have taken the gold cure
twice (but have not been injured in
the least). Please send me railroad
passes and l will join your class at
once.

SMILES were his own, and none could

so original and always hit the nail so
squarely on the head that even the
most learned savants were spell
bound when he cut loose" He hit as
straight from the shoulder as the
mighty Beecher and was quite as re-
markable a character, Quite as indie
pendent, quite as fearless.
