Aberdeen Dinner With 2,4OO Guests
Feast for French Mayors.

The 1900 club banquet to the CO.

imposing scale, but it is scarcely, as
stated by a contemporary, the "sec-
ond largest dinner on record" the

GLORIA AMERICANA
Darkey in Hawaii Who Trusted in the
Old Flag.

I remember" said the globe trot-
ter In the hotel corridor, IAN odd in
stance of gloria Americana, if I may
be so up-to-date in treating of our flag
and its history. A party of us were
travelling in the mountains of Haiti.
A revolution had started that morn
ing. All at once one of our party
drew rein with an ejaculation and
pointed to a lone ridge where you
would suppose nothing but an eagle
would make it's habitation. And there,
sure enough, was the banner of that
noble fowl-an old tattered stars and
stripes %fluttering on a bamboo pole.
W. felt that we ought to pay our re-
spects and at the same time learn who
put Old Glory in that wild place. At
ter Is minutes search we found a
path that zigzagged up the ridge, and
discovered an old negro sitting before
a waited hut smoking his pipe while
he kept his eye on the flag.

The Money End.

Maurice Grau told me-" said a com.
poser, "that he owed his success to
the fact that he produced opera solely
from the business, never from the
musical or artistic standpoint.
Crank, wasn't it? Most men in his
line use his method, but hypocritical-
ly pretend. to be artists.
poor Grau in our discussion said
that he went at music as a certain
perfumer went at perfumes-not with
the primary idea Of producing some,
thing excellent, but with the primary
idea of producing something novel,
bizarre, profitable.
"This perfumer, he explained, said
one day gayly to a friend:
"Hurrah! I'm doing a pushing bust
ness. I'll be rich in a year.. I've in
vented a new perfume that smells
just like gasoline
"tBut-,' said his friend, but
don't-er-quite see the point
"'The stuff is selling like hot
cakes said the perfumer, Men and
women alike are buying it. You see.
it tickles their vanity. They go about
redolent of gasoline and people think
that they own automobiles"

SCHMITz ACTS AS MAYOR.
CONDUCTS BUSINESS OF THE
CITY FROM PRISON CELL.
Sends Veto Message Of Appropriation
Bill to the Board of Super
visors.

San Francisco. June 24.-From his
cell in the county Jail, Mayor Schmitz
returned to the board of supervisors
Friday evening the municipal budget
and a message vetoing the %appropria-
ton of 100000 for the reconstruction
of the Geary street railroad. Schmitz,
besides opposing the appropriation for
the railway, also objected to the levy
of a special tax Of 20 cents to raise
revenue for the city government.
Acting-Mayor Gallagher said Friday
night that Schmitz' right to pass upon
the budget was not questioned by the
board.
The first actual clash between
Chief Oman and Acting Mayor Gala
CHER came Friday when Oman fat
footedly refused to recognize Gala
gher's signature as that of the mayor
of San Francisco. The signature was
on a fight permit issued to the Cen
trail Athletic club for a series of six
four-round boxing bouts to be held in
Dreamland rink Friday evening, and
before Oman would allow the doors
to open to the crowd the promoters
of the show had to bring to him a
permit signed by Schmitz.
The application of Schmitz for q
writ of habeas corpus and bail was
taken under advisement by the judges
of the appellate court Friday. Not I'm.
til Monday will the judges decide
whether or not it will give hearing
to the application.

The Almighty Dollar.

A recent headline, "Rule of the
Dollar" has suggested the inquiry,
Who originated the familiar phase,
"the almighty dollar?" It was Wash
ington Irving, in "The Creole Village"
which he published in 1887. The
phrase became SO popular and excited
so much controversy in consequence
Of a doubt whether the adjective were
%irreverent, that its author had to ex-
plain 10 years later that he intended
mo ~irreverence, even to the dollar,
which he is well aware is becoming
daily more and more an object of
worship" dollar" is certainly one Of
the worlds greatest words now, and 1t
is difficult to realize that it only means
"valleyer," the "thaler" having been
named after the Joachimsthal, in b.
hemia, in whose valley it was first
coined in the sixteenth century.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Just the Reverse.

The owner of the ranch in one of
the arid regions of the great west was
entertaining an eastern relative. He
showed him over his broad acres,
spoke of the difficulties that had been
overcome in making the desert bios,
som as the rose, and outlined his
plans for the future.
"But is it possible" asked the Wis
flor, "to make more than a bare liv,
ing on such land and in such a
climate as this?"
1T is. / have made considerably
more than a bare living on this land"
II am glad to hear it, Cyrus. Then
you have something laid up for a
rainy day, have you?"
"Not exactly" rejoined the host,
with a laugh. "On the contrary, with
the help of an occasional rainy day, I
have managed to lay something by for
the dry days."-Cleveland Leader.

THE SW!NEHERD

Large herds of swine should be dl-
vided so that not more than a few doz-
ell animals are kept together.
Each SOW should have a separate pen
for herself and her pigs.
The boar should not be permitted to
run with the herd
The pens. troughs and all the sur
roundings Of the hog should not only
be cleaned frequently. but dislnfected.
The food for, swine should be selected
carefully.
Do not feed corn exclusively and be
careful to supply enough green food in
the winter time.
Sorghum is especially recommended
as q winter food.
Always heat the hogs food In cold
weather for the animals comfort and
well being.
Get out Of your head that anything
Is good enough for the pig. Remem-
Der, rather, that nothing is too good for
the DISCLAIMERS Advocate.
Preventing Disease.
The heavy losses in hogs are largely
due to transmissibIe diseases. The or
ganisms that produce such diseases en-
ter the system In the feed and air.
Muddy or dusty yards, crowded condi-
lions and filthy floors or troughs are
responsible for most Of the cholera and
swine plague. Young hogs are more
susceptible than mature animals. Nat
urally they need better care. The pens
and yards should not be neglected be-
cause there Is a pasture Keep them
well drained and disinfected. Use
whitewash freely about the houses and
fences. Plow the unused lots and SOW
rape. oats or cowpeas. Spray the
house. feeding floors and troughs thor
oughly with disinfectant every two
or three weeks. Tar disinfectants are
most convenient. They should be used
In not less than per cent water so
luton. Spray or dip the hogs occa-
sionally In ] per cent water solution.
Young hogs should not be given crowd
ed quarters. Provide a diet that will
keep them healthy and help them to
resist disease. Keeping the hogs IN
der the best sanitary conditions and
using every precaution to prevent In
lection from the outside are the most
satisfactory methods Of avoiding loss
from transmissible diseases. r.. A.

Hog Notes.
Be careful In selecting your new
boar.
Mature sows, bred to good boars, In
sure strong, healthy pigs.
Holding fat hogs for a higher mar
ket Is oftentimes counting cholera.
Don't think that the hog has cholera
Just because he Is Off feed for a day.
Plenty Of sunlight In the hog house
from now until next June is necessary.
You may have favorite strain, but
don't stick to 1t until 1t has degen-
Grated.
Give the hogpen rest. Move the
hogs to another pen or to the pasture.
Keep the pens and yards sanitary.
but don't stop with that. Keep the
hogs digestion in prime order.

may seem like small thing, says
