Patron Saint of LAWYERS.

This story is told at the expense OF
Francis H. T. Maxwell. a well-known
lawyer. The members of the Taunton,
Mass, Bar association thought they
ought to have a patron saint. but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was member was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
a trip to New York, and there visited
a gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. 1t was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in group of two.
This one will do" he said. He had
his hand on the devil, whom st. Mi
chael was driving before him.

METHOD IN HIS soLicITupE.
Willie's Deep Interest In Playmate's
Health Explained.

This story is well in keeping with
the spirit of the age, says the New
York Tribune. Bronx man tells it
about his little boy The neighbor's
young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not 10 make any noise
in the streets. The neighbor's bell
rang one day and she opened it to find
Willie standing bashfully on her front
steps.
How is he to-day?" he inquired in
a shy whisper.
He's better, thank you. DEAR and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood a moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmy's sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could find no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmate's
illness At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. ''If Jimmy should die"
he asked, kin l have his drum?"

she's been more than a mother to me,
Ware. You must never let her want
for anything as long as she lives. She
and Bobbs must be well provided for
when I'm gone, Ware"
He stopped again and gasped heav-
lily for breath, but soon he recovered
himself and went on, though more
feebly and with greater effort than be-
fore:
Il know 1 was foolish to do this,
Ware, but at first l fancied | could
stay here and keep out of sight of the
authorities and then, when l needed
exercise, we thought of the ghosts as
a means of keeping people away and
giving me more freedom"
He had not taken his eyes from the
window in all this time and the snow
was falling so heavily that we were
covered thickly with its soft, f1eecy
mantle.
Again he began to speak while we
stood as men entranced, but his voice
was even weaker than before and it
was with difficulty that we could make
out all that he said.
'T'1l be gone soon, Ware, and you
must keep it all from the people and
have me buried at once. You know
there would be panic if they knew,
and yet there would be no danger in
this climate. It's only when you live
right in the midst of it, Ware, and
have it on all sides of you all the time,
as l did in Hawaii, trying to help
those poor souls in their sufferings.
There's no danger, Ware, to any
one and yet, if they'd found me I'd
have been penned up somewhere like
a wild beast, and / couldn't bear it.
/ know l was foolish over it, and that
| probably could have bought my free
dom in a way, but once we got settled
here | wanted to stay in peace. You
know we never bothered you with the
ghosts after Florence came back, and
| had Bobbs send you that one last
note in faint hope that you would
go away again.
"Bobbs wrote to Annie for me, too,
telling her to talk with Mrs. Bruce and
try and persuade you to go, but she
only begged to see me and insisted on
keeping as near to me as she could.
OF course, could not see her, Ware,

SHEEP AND HORSE NOTES.

Great big stations and small mares
should never be mated to breed.
While half blood horses may do well
enough to work, they should never be
used for breeding purposes.
A flock of so breeding sheep is
good size for the man conducting a
general system of farming.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the draft mare is the most profit
able one for the farmer to raise.
Your sheep may need their hoofs
trimmed If you didn't attend to this.
Do you notice any of them walking
lame?
The best place to mark sheen is on
the rump. Venetian red and linseed
oil will make distinctive mark. New
er use tar.
Men who do not IKE sheep should
not keep them, but at the present
prices wouldn't it pay to stretch
point so as TO take advantage of the
profits along with the other fellows?

Shelter for Hogs.

allow the hogs to move about under
them. II set out a distance from the
fence there is always sure to be shade.
Besides furnishing place for the
hogs to go during the hottest part Of
the day and also affording protection
from cold rains in the early fall the
pens are up off of the ground making
decay less rapid. Another convenient
shelter is shown by Farm and Home
built in a corner of the pasture. This
can be made as long as necessary to
suit the requirements. The back of
the shed can be boarded up or not to
suit the plans of the owner. Where
the hogs are left out late in the fall,
however, the back and one side should
be temporarily boarded up to give pro-
lection on chilly nights or during cold
driving rains.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
80 pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township =
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June Of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken. a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and it's total assets are $291,-
567S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
S21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about 100000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compeA
all of the people of the United States
to pay doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

I am perfectly helpless now, you
know" and he changed his position
enough to show us two arms swathed
in bandages, but God only knows
what comfort they were to me, and
Bobbs or his mother got a word to
her from me whenever they could"
He was painting noisily from the ef-
fort of his long exertion, and Bobbs
made a deprecatory gesture as if he
toned him away and began once more
in faint disjointed words:
Il mustn't stop now, Bobbs. / have
more to say and my time is growing
short"
He leaned heavily against the tree
for support and paused as if summon
ing to his aid all his energy and all his
courage, and then gasped on;
BE good to Florence when she
comes to you, Ware, and-God's-
blessing-on you-both."
Suddenly, and with a muffied sob,
he lunged forward and raised his poor
distorted arms toward the window,
instant. One of the nurses appeared
and raised the sash to the top, letting
the bitter wintry air rush in and fill
the death chamber.

scarcely audible tone. IT'S the end,

AS we sprang to support him the
light of the lantern flashed across his
cruelty disfigured face and MacArdel
muttered in my ear:

Ware. There's no danger to anyone
here"
We lowered him gently to the
ground and the rapidly drifting snow
received him in it's soft embrace and
covered him over like a shroud.
Some hours later, when the house
was quiet for the night and MacArdel
had retired to his room, l called Bobbs
into the dimly lighted library and said:
It's late, know, Bobbs, and we
are all worn out in mind and body, but
| want you to tell me the rest of this
story before you CO."
There's little to tell now, SIR" said
Bobbs, bravely keeping back his tears.
1--WE lived either in my mothers house
or in the old cellar with the tunnel
that leads to the river. Mrs. Bruce is
my mother, sir, and my name is Rob-
ert Bruce, but in the old country they

Roberts, you know.

PROUD OF HIS NEW NOSE.
Original, Frozen Off, Is Replaced by
One of VuIcanite.

Philadelphia.-Gre altered in ap-
pearance, but for the better, David
Dodson, of Barnesboro, Pa, walked
out of the dental hall of the Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania, proud wearer of
substitute for his nose that was frozen
off in blizzard several years ago.
Last year Dodson prevailed on Dean
c. III. Frazier, of the medical depart.
ment, to attempt to graft finger of
his right hand on his face to form the
nose. When the operation was about
to prove successful, Dodson, crazed by
pain, pulled the finger out of it's place
and made the operation a failure.
The new nose is made of fiesh-col-
ored vulcanite, with block-tin tubes,
and is held on the face by means of
a pair of bow spectacles and a heavy
false mustache.
The case was handled by Philip
Kurtz, senior of the dental depart
ment, under the direction of DR.. A.
De Witt Gritman.

mo-" he replied, but it's only a
step. sir. I'll show you the way. Oh,
l thought You would never come, sir!"
We sprang out and. giving Bobbs
the lantern, followed him through the
snow to the side of the house on
which Miss Weston's windows opened.
He doesn't know she's gone yet"
said Bobbs, as he trudged along light
ing our way as best he could. But he
knows it must be soon, and he's been
waiting out here in the storm for over
six hours"
We came to a tree, partly sheltered
by some shrubbery around it, and
there, leaning against it's trunk was
poor John Carney, tottering feebly for
support and gazing fixedly at the win
dow behind which lay the body of his
loved one.
IT'S Mr.. Carney, sir" explained
Bobbs, choking down a sob. You
might not know him, sir, he's changed
so in the year and it's long bit since
you saw him last"
MacArdel made no move to go near
him and we stood there, in expecta-
tion and MacArdel with an air of pro-
fessional scrutiny. Carney spoke, but
without turning his head"
Il know you, Ware" he said slowly
and painfully. raising his voice feebly
to make it heard above the fury of the
storm. "You have been good to Flor
ence and so to me-and-I thank you
I can't say more than that, Ware, but
my thanks are heartfelt"
He paused and seemed to choke for
an instant before he resumed:
You must pardon me, Ware, for all
the trouble I've made you and for the
worry that Florence has had to suffer,
but l was too sure of myself when /
thought 1 could frighten you away
with the ghosts that Bobbs and man

CHAPTER xxV.-Continued.

CHAPTER xxV.-Contnued.
You'd better not try to bring three
people back through the drifts" said
the doctor, who had just come in for
a bite and cup of coffee. You can't
drive two horses to advantage in this
weather and if you insist upon going
why don't you take my mare and cut
ter and go alone? She's been in the
stable all day and she knows every
inch of the road, so if you just give
her her head she'll bring you through
all right. You'd better take my storm
coat and gloves. too, for you'll find the
wind pretty cold after you've been in
it bit"
Although l had but two miles or
thereabouts to travel from the house
to the railway station / made an early
start and had the horse at the door
before ten o'clock. The doctor came
down to see me off and gave me few
parting words of advice.
AS l opened the door 1t was almost
blown out of my hand by the force of
the wind and great sheets of snow and
sleet came sailing in, under the prote
cochere and half way down the hail.
l bundled myself up in the doctors
great fur coat and surrounded myself
with his rugs and then, bowling my
head to the fury of the gale, / did as
l had been told, and let the mare
take her own gait and pick her own
way to the train.
The train was 40 minutes late and
after putting my horse in the stable
and blanketing her comfortably in ac-
cordance with the doctors instruc-
tions, l returned to the station and
paced restlessly up and down the wait
ing room now ana then peering anx-
iously through the frostcoated win
dows in childlike Eay, as if my eyes
could penetrate the blackness of the
night and see for miles down the
track.
Finally, as the time for it's arrival
drew near, one of the station men,
with that intuition so frequently OBJ
served and so incomprehensible to the
average individual, suddenly picked
up a lantern and strode out on the
platform. The heavy rumble of the
oncoming locomotive and the faint
squeal of it's whistle struck my ears
at the same instant and, looking out,
saw its single bleary eye cleaning
dimly in the distance as it plowed on
through the whirling sleet.
l was about to go out on the plat
form myself when the station master
called me to the telephone and the
doctor at Carney-Croft said hurriedly:
Il suppose the train is late but get
MacArdel here as soon as you can if
you want him to see her alive. 1t
won't be many hours now and it may
be-"
There was a snap and buzzing
sound for an instant and / knew that
the wire was down.
In another moment MacArdel was
by my side, and as soon as we could
get the lantern lighted and the mare
out of the stable we started on our
wild drive to Carney-Croft.

CARE OF MARE AND FoAL.
A Little Extra Trouble viii Prove
Profitable.

Colts are valuable nowadays. A good
one will sell at weaving time for about
as much as matured horse three or
four years ago. Mr.. w. L. Houser
gave some sensible advice about the
mare and foal in his talk before Wis
consin farmers. He says it is well to
keep pretty close watch of the mare at
foaling time. You may save the colt
by little help. After it comes it
may need a little assistance to get the
first milk from the mother, not usu-
ally, but sometimes that is the case,
and you can we'll afford to give
the help. Thoroughly disinfect the
navel cord, and do it frequently until
1t is healed. The greatest loss among
young colts Is due to the so-called
navel disease which results in dull.
ness, swollen joints and frequently
death.
Feed the mare literally while she
is raising the colt Oats and bran
and pasture are the best feed. The
colt will learn to eat some oats and
bran at an early age if you will give
him chance, and will do well as a
result. If you must work the mare,
keep the colt in the barn during the
day, letting it to the mother three or
four times during thet day, if possible.
1 like to wean my colts at about four
months of age. If they have been
taught to eat grain, they will make
the shift without any loss of flesh or
impairment of the growth. A little
cows milk (skim milk is good helps
amazingly to keep the colt going
along at this time. Feed literally of
oats and bran, about all the colt will
eat, and keep him a-going in this way
until he is year old, when he should
be thrifty and strong, weighing from
$50 to 1000 pounds. He will not be
much trouble to you after this time.

The Entrance of Chico.

/ lashed the painting beast until
great welts stood out on her sides and
her hide was lathered with foam, while
we dashed along in the binding storm
and finally galloped through the gate
way and up the winding road toward
the house. The snow was drifting
heavily and MacArdel leaned over the
side of the sleigh and held the lantern
close to the ground so that l could see
such little traces of the road as re-
mained or we would have been ditched
a dozen times in our mad race to the
dying girl
Suddenly, as we neared the house,
and at place where the drifts were
deeper and the exhausted horse strug-
gled heavily in her effort to make her
way on, a man sprang out of the sleet
and, grasping the animal by the head,
threw her backward with almost SUI
perhuman strength and brought us to
a standstill.
What do you mean" l shouted,
raising the whip high over my head.
Let us go on or I'll brain you!'
"it's Bobbs, sir! You remember

Let us pass, Bobbs!" l exclaimed,
angrily, losing my astonishment in my
anxiety to reach the house. I'll see
you again, Bobbs! It's the doctor,
here. for Miss Weston!"
Il know, sir" he painted, "and it's
the doctor l want! She's gone, sir,
and I'm afraid he's going, too. Come
with me, for Gods sake!"
DO you mean she's dead, Bobbs 2"
/ cried, as a great lump rose in my
throat.
yes, oh, yes!" he almost screamed
"The doctor can't do her no good!
She died some half hour ago, and he's
dying, too, l tell you! Have you no
heart, sir? Oh, bring the doctor to
him, in Gods name!"
Can we driver" l asked, suddenly,
realizing the fellows meaning and ap-
preciating the useIessness Of our 60

Two Litters a Year.

1t pays to raise two litters of pigs
season, though few farmers DO this.
The advantage lies in the double use
of the money invested in stock, build.
ings and appliances. Often it re.
quirs no greater expense for hiring
labor to raise two litters of pigs than
one. Many of our farmers, however,
are not well enough supplied with
equipments to dare risk the raising Of
pigs in the winter. The greatest OBJ.
stacle they find is the lack of a pro.
tein feed in the fall and winter. This
problem should be worked out on as
many farms as possible on account OF
the added proat.
