wooden ties stood on end In a jumbled
heap, and the rails. wrenched from
their fastenlngs, were twisted and
broken.
With great terror clutching at his
heart Danny sprang up hastily and
rushed back to the camp, stumbling as
he went. He thought Of nothing but
the train, with its precious load of
humanity, speeding on to destruction.
He must save the train or die trying.
Snatching blazing brand from the
fire he ran with it up the track. The
splintered ties tore his bare feet, and
several times he stumbled over the
wreckage, but he stopped for nothing.
The hope began to die away in his
heart. And then, suddenly, the en-
gineer leaned out of his cab and
caught sight, through the gray blanket
OF fog, of Danny's waving torch.
Throwing. on the brakes and shutting
off the steam, he brought his great
throbbing engine to a standstill the
trains length beyond the boy.
When some Of the passengers and
trainmen went back to look for Danny,
they found him sitting at the side of
the track, looking very white. The
train had swept him off his feet.

that they will be doubled, perhaps trebled before the

Secretary Wilson shows that the corn crop may be
increased by onehalf within twenty five from old

miracle. all other respects agricultural production,
under improved conditions of cultivation will increase.

Living by the Pen.

The fountain pen has proved It's use
fulneSS in a. way hitherto unknown to
the general public, and undreamed Of
by its inventor, according to a writer
in the Detroit News-Tribune. Two par
entless squirrels, but few days old,
hungry and disconsolate, were recently
discovered in the hollow of a tree in
the suburbs Of Detroit. They were
rescued and given to a sympathetic
man who lives near, and who willing
" assumed the duty of foster parent.
After the orphans were safely estab-
lished in roomy wire cage, the prob
lem of feeding them presented itself.
They were too young to crack nuts for
themselves, and their little teeth were
too sharp to permit the use Of rub,
Der tube for liquid refreshments.
In this emergency, their protector
had an inspiration. He filled the reser-
voir Of his fountain pen with milk, and
inserted the point in each small mouth
alternately The orphans drank eager
ly. Succeeding experiments have been
equally successful, and when las.
heard from the pets were thriving Wig
orouSly.

Huskfng Corn.

The following expression of opinion
is from one who has been watching the
work of handling corn by machinery ::
Much of the work will be done by the
power husker and shredder, but a Num-
Der who had their corn husked in this
manner last year are going to return
to the old method as being cheaper and
more satisfactory.
The shredder is the natural compan-
ion of the binder, and most of the corn
cut by the latter will be sh led lei.
There are, however, some binders in
this vicinity that have stood still while
their owners cut their corn by land,
they thinking it cheaper and fully as
rapid and easy, where help for shock
ing could not be obtained. A neigh
Dor of mine cut one field with a shock
er, but could have cut It as quickly by
the next field. He will shred these
shocks, and, l think, find them hard
TO handle. as they are so tightly COM
pressed.
In husking by hand, it will be found
convenient to have crates enough for
one or two loads and scatter load of
them along the rows before husking
throwing the corn into them while
husking. This will save picking up
and shoveIing off, and the hauling will
be easier and more rapid.
Shredded fodder Is all right /, the
shredded If not, look out for spoiled
fodder-and also corn, unless put in a
narrow, weu-ventilated crib

Saving the Flyer

u ROUCHING beside the cracking
\ camp fire Danny shivered mis-
erably as the damp fog pene-
trated his thin clothing and chilled
him to the bone He drew his knees
up stifly, and huddled himself in his
ragged blanket.
He was alonein the camp, for the
men had gone to do some work up the
road.
He had been dreaming of home just
before he awoke-the dear old home
back In Missouri. where he and his
mother had kept house together after
father had gone to seek n fortune for
them all farther West But that was
a long time ago, when Danny was quite
a little chap, and since then many sad
things had happened First, fathers
letters had ceased TO come, and then
after a while the home had been given
10. and Danny and mother had en-
tered upon dark and troubled days. And
now there was no mother any more,
and Danny, left alone in the world,
was manfully trying to make his way
out TO San Francisco, where he vaguely
hoped he might find his lost father.
Danny had fallen IN with repair gang
OF railroad men, and agreed to do odd
Jobs about the camp for a little money
he would need when he reached San
Francisco.
But though Dannay was brave
little lad, there was n big lump in his
throat as he tried to roll himself more
snugly In his blanket. And somehow
the strange, solemn stiffness frightened
him There was no sound of life any
where.
And Just then happened the strangest
thing that Danny had ever known.
Without warning of any sort, the
earth suddenly heaved and rocked be-
meath him, fiinging him violently over.
There was crashing sound, as of
rocks falling, and breaking close by,
and the same instant the burning pine
logs from the camp fire were scattered
all around.
Danny was too terrified to scream.
The thought crossed his mind that this
was perhaps the end of the world, and
he felt sick and faint. as we'll as fright
ened, but he managed somehow TO
scramble to his feet. and tried to think
what had happened. Then, recalling the
strange stories he had heard over the
evening camp fires, it flashed across
him that this must be one Of the
mighty 'tremblers" old Morgan, the
foreman, had often told him Of Danny
had thought he would not know what
1t was.
"Don't you fear but what you'll
reckernize a trembler when YOU feel

ly. Amt nothin' else in all creation

From somewhere far to the east
ward there shrilled through the fog
the distant whistle Of q locomotive
Danny knew it must be the westbound
overland flyer, which passed the camp
early every morning. He CROPPED his
way toward the tracks. Suddenly he
stumbled over ridge of rocks. Creep

THE LAUGH OF A CHILD.

There's the laugh of the dawn in the
waking east,
And the laugh of the MONDAY sky;
The laugh of the breeze the delirious
laugh
OF the flame when the night-winds sigh.
There's the laugh of the stars, and the
meadow brook,
OF the sea- and the festal wine,
The frivolous laugh. and the wonderful
laugh
or the heart at affections shrine
There's the laugh of the rose at the set
ting moon,
When the night has flown away,
But the happiest laugh, the ineffable
laugh,
Is the laugh of the child at play.

Horse Maintaiug His Position.


The horse is always about to be, but
never is put out of business. On the
appearance of every new agency Of
transportation the announcement is sol
EMMY made that the horse, after pass
ing through an era of decreasing prices,
will cease and determine. 1t was SO
when railroads began to gain hea1way,
when bicycles came into use, when the
electric cars commenced to buzz along
the highways, when the auto developed
into something more than a curiosity,
but yet here the horse is still with us,
and more valuable than ever.
Statistics submitted to the House Of
Representatives, IN connection With the
agricultural appropriation bill, show
that there has been a notable increase
both in the number and value of horses
in the United States In the :ast nine
years. The aggregate Of horses Jan.
/, 1906 stood at 18,718,57S, against
14.367 ,667 at the corresponding date Of
1897. Their total value increased from
S452, $40, 1896 in 1897 to $3.50, 800 900.
This startling rate of increase in
value is no more marked than that Of
mules, according to the same govern
ment authorities. There were 2,216,-
654 mules in 1897 and 3,104061 IN
1906, and the values We're, respectively,
S92 ,3O2, 900 and 1894, $50, $50.

Producing Denatured Alcohol.

IF farmer or other person desires
to go into the business of manufacture
ing denatured alcohol, at plant how
ever SMALL" says Internal Revenue
Commissioner Yerkes, "he will be re-
quired to construct his plant in the
manner prescribed by the general laws
and regulations. He will be required
to give bond, the effect Of which is to
prevent him from defrauding the gov
eminent of the tax on any distilled
spirits produced by him. He will be
required to establish distillery ware
house to deposit the spirits produced
by him in this warehouse to establish
a denaturing bonded warehouse, and to
tax pay or denature, just as he may
wish, the alcohol produced by him. All
of this will be done under government
al supervision, but the government pays
for this supervision. The manufacture
of alcohol does not bear one cent Of it.
There is no objection to a farmer man
ufacturing his alcohol in his back yard
provided he wants to establish a dis
BILE to investigate you will find, in my
opinion, that the laws and regulations
relating to the manufacture of alcohol
in Germany do not differ to any great
extent from the laws and regulations
in this country"
