Artemus Ward,

There was something very fasci-
mating in his presence. Never was
man more misunderstood. He
had not one trace Of coarseness or
real awkwardness. Though far from
handsome, he had a fine, 1.-THE fig
ure, with smooth, light hair, teeth
white and delicate and the most
beautiful hands. His voice was pc
culiarly soft, and his whole demean-
or was that Of a well bred, sensitive
and modest gentleman. Even his
most intimate friends could hardly
understand why nothing of the
clown ever cropped out in facial or
bodily contortion when he was say
ing his odd things, but surely it nev-
er did, and his perfect poise and
gravity on these occasions no one
who knew him can ever forget. Ar
temus Ward had no trace of local
coloring or local prejudice, nor was
his speech marked by a single pro-
vincialism. He was a cosmopolitan
gentleman.-Putnam's Monthly.

Got the Best of Bismarck.

When "Bull Run" Russell was
with the German army in 1870 he
reported a long interview with the
crown prince (Frederick), some ex-
pressions in which gave umbrage to
Bismarck. Bismarck sent for him,
lost his temper and said, II suppose
you couldn't resist showing your i'm
portance by reporting all that that
Fdunderhead' confded to you? Rus
sell replied: "Your excellency knows
that l always respect condolences.
There is much that you have said to
me yourself that I have not report
ed" "Pouf! Anything I say to
you you may bawl from the top of
st. PauPs." 81 thank your excel
lencv," said Russell. "I shall use
that permission to record your opin-
ion of the crown prince"

Heavy Name and Tail.

A heavy name and tail may add to
the attractive appearance of a carriage
or harness horse, but expert horsemen
learned years ago that such animals
do not make the most successful race
winners. In his hints on the selection
of brood mares S. D. Bruce said in his
work entitled 'The Thoroughbred
Horse" as follows: MANY good judges
do not like mares with too coarse and
luxuriant growth of hair in the name
and especially with too full and bushy
tails at the root Foals by such stall
lions or out of such mares usually lack
quality and are deficient in energy. A
rat tailed horse is not a beauty to the
eye. but it is seldom that you find
bad horse. with a rat tail."-Horse
Breeder.

into one of this kind. 1t was built in
one corner of the barn, square, with
the exception Of cut off corners.
Spikes were driven into the oak walls
one foot apart each way, leaving the
heads sticking out to hold the cement.
Inside of this a framework was built
and the cement filled in two inches
thick. This was built fifteen years
ago and is still in good condition. If
the surface of the cemeaU is made
smooth, silage keeps perfectly. A
rough surface induces SQUIRTING.
1t developed at this meeting also that
there were some SiloS of solid cement
in the county, and a gentleman who
owned one of these was asked to give
certain facts concerning lis construc-
ton. 1t cost $3.50 to buy the material
and put up such silo of 100 ton Ca
pacity. The walls are eight inches
thick at the base and four inches thick
at the top. The cement in the one un-
der discussion is REINFORCED every
foot by No. 10 galvanized wire.
Tub Silos Too.
A number of men being present at
this meeting who We're operating the
so called tub or stave silo, they were
called upon for testimony regarding it.
One said his had been blown down,
although guyed with wires supposed to
be sufficient to hold it The trouble
seemed to be that it became loose when
empty, began to weave in the wind
and then succumbed to it's force
AS preventive of this it was rec
ormenled to put crosspieceS in as fast
as the contents of the structure are re
moved. Four or five of these, we'll
fastened, will keep it from weaving in
the wind.
The general consensus of opinion
seemed to be that the cement silo, while
really cheaper i'll the end The round
shape is best, although if corners are
we'll cut off silage keeps We'll in the
square ones. An eighteen inch cutoff
is none too much. AS Il cover for ST
lage all who had tried beet pulp rec
orlmended it. 1t preserves the silage
perfectly. Since there is Il large sugar
fa ,tCry in the district, farmers are
using the pulp freely. Even after it
had become Il year old it retained its
sweetness underneath the outer sur
face and was well liked for stock feed.
Some had used apple pomace, the ref
use of cider mills and vinegar fac
tories, with excellent results as a cover
for silage.

"Show u.s." said these, d single
case in which, under stress Of cir
cumstances, the bees have. had the
idea of substituting clay or mortar
for wax and propolis, and we will
admit their reasoning faculties"
Hardly had they expressed this
somewhat arbitrary wish when an
other naturalist, Andrew knight,
having coated the bark Of certain
trees with a sort Of cement made of
wax and turpentine, observed that
his bees entirely ceased to gather
propolis and used only this new and
unknown substance, which they
found prepared for them in album
dance in the neighborhood Of their
home. Moreover, in the practice of
agriculture, when pollen is scarce,
the beekeeper has but to place at
their disposal few pinches of flour
for them to understand at once that
this can serve the same purpose and
be turned to the same use as the
dust of the anthers, although its
taste, smell and color are absolutely
different.-Maurice Maeterlinck in

J. K. MILAM GOES WITH
BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE
Brings Into the Schoolroom the Ripe Ex-
perience of % Years as Practical
Operator.
SPECIAL RATES OFFERED UNTIL

The Bagwell Business College is for
tunate in securing Mr.. J. K. Milan. a
well known railroad operator. to take

ply. 1t Is the policy of the institution
to offer its patrons the best that can
be secured, regardless of cost, and the

Mr.. Milan is one of the best known
and most trustworthy railroad opera
tors in the south. He has trained
scores OF operators in the railroad Of
flee and coming directly from the main

for years, makes him eminently fitted
to train his pupils in all the detail
work OF the practical operator.
Mr.. Milan has received f1attering of
fers to go with other schools. In speak
ing of his connection with the Bagwell
Business College, he says:
"A serious condition confronts the
railroads at the present time. The new
law limiting the hours Of railway tel
egraphers to nine hours will, when it
goes into effect, necessitates an addi-
tional force Of at least
Ten Thousand More Operators.
1T is my purpose to assist in sup
plying this deficiency with thoroughly
competent operators. From my expe-
rience in taking young men from
schools l find that they have not been
taught anything about how to handle
trains and orders, which is of just as
much Importance as being able to send
and to receive messages.
THE department of telegraphy of
Bagwell Business College is thoroughly
equipped with the latest and most i'm
proved instruments, switch-boards,
long line wires, etc.
Railroad Wires Run Into School.

railroads run into the school room and
