Patches Gave the cIew.

From the New York Times.
 Police business is usually grim affair, but occasionally there is bit of comedy In the days work of the blue coat.
 'IH always remember the pursuit and capture of 'Hambone Charley" said Captain Cottell, now in command at the Leonard street police station. Tt hap pened out in Flushing, where cut my eye teeth as a police captain.
 Almost every day some irate citizen would come to the station house and com plain Chat a roast or a joint or a string of sausages has been stolen from his ice box. But if there was q hambone in the refrigerator, it was always taken in pre- ference to anything else. That's why we christened the unknown marauder Ham bone Charley
 This Old Mother Hubbard business of going to the cupboard and finding 1t bare is not a soothing experience to a hungry family Hambone Charley became the hated pest of Flushing.
 q put detectives -on the case; but neither they nor any of the bereaved citi- zens could get the slightest clue.
 "One afternoon, after these icebox raids had been going on for a couple of months, a cook heard the kitchen door slam. She ran out into the back yard and was just in time to see a pair of patched trousers disappearing through nOle under the fence. One pdtcn was brown and the other was gray. "A messenger was sent for me, and hurried around with a couple of detec- tives. To us the cook recounted what she had seen of the thief
 "We then went a-sleuthing for a man inside a pair of patched trousers. And can tell you that neither before nor since have I made such a careful inspec- ton of the rear facade of my fellow citizens.
 After three hours searching pair of trousers patched as per description, and with q colored gentleman inside them, was discovered in ragtime dance hall.
 ''We led the protesting wearer of the trousers to the station house. The cook was summoned. and then the accused was made to assume the attitude that he was in when last seen by the cook
 That's him! said she.
 Those patches got Hambone Charley a month in iail"

ARSENIC IN MILK.
Expert Discovers Traces of Poison in
 Both Food and Clothing.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 It would be a great surprise to almost anyone to be told that in the milk that caters into his daily food consumption, as well as in the woolen coat he wears upon his back, there is secreted, however slight the quantity may be, a modlcum of arsenic Yet according to the deductions of a chemical expert. who has been in the employ of cattlemen and sheep breeders in certain parts of the western domain, such Is a fact, and especially so in the state of Montana.
 This expert has for some time recently been giving careful attention to the mat ter. laboring on the farms and grazing lands in locality where there are cop per mines adjacent to the extensive farm areas of that region, and his investiga- tions have shown that there Is q strain of arsenic in the localities where he has been at work which exhibits itself in the wool of the sheep and the milk given by the cows
 His careful researches have demon- strated the fact that in some of the lands where he has been employed there Is in the milk of the cows grazing upon the land, where there Is thought to be hidden vein of the dangerous metal, about four-tenths of a grain, he remarks, to a gallon of milk.
 What the exact proportions of the dan gerous chemical element found in the wool shown from the sheep grazing on the same lands was not declared, but that it was easily distinguishable was pronounced to be a fact. Herders and cattlemen in the vicinity from some cause have been led to become convinced that there is a stratum of-arsenic in their region. and some of them, who feel con siderable interest in the matter are said to have applied to certain universities to suggest experts to test the matter, but from some cause or other have not met with success in their applications,
 Now almost every one knows that while arsenic Is among the most virulent of all poisons and frequently occasions death, both by accident and design. 1t is also a safe and useful medicine when iudcously employed. It is in great de- mand otherwise as a medicine, and If It can be demonstrated that 1t Is on these western lands in any unusual quantity it would be worth seeking, for the price of 1t has increased lately and eompara- lively little of it can be found in this country.

FORTUNE BASED ON 50 CENTS.
The Other Man Loaned His Oppor.
 tunty and Is Looking for a Job.

From the NewsYork Sun.
 Ever meet man who was absent when opportunity called the rolli" asked the man who was wearing his last year clothes. "I know man who ran away from his opportunity
 Just what would have happened to him if he had fingered I don't know, and he doesn't; but he ran away and the man who stayed pro.ited. He probably wouldn't have opened his mouth about the story if he hadn't read in a news paper of the death of that man.
 The obituary contained the information that when the man landed where he built up fortune he had DO cents in his pocket The man who read the death notice sim ply remarked that he gave the fellow the half dollar, or he wouldn't have had that.
 "The two men hit the town on the same day. They had been travelling to- gether for weeks. The man who was staked was pennless when he and his acquaintance landed. The acquaintance had little money.
 "He offered more to his fellow traveller but the latter declined. He accepted just what he had asked for. Then the two men started to seek work.
 "The first place to which they applied was a retail dry goods store. The mer- chant said he wanted a young man to
 
 counter. The pay was $2. 50 a wek
 The applicant who had the small sum of money had the flrst option. He refused 1t. Tho other, who had borrowed the half dollar, got the place. When he drew his first weeks wages he rendered the loan to his fellow traveller. The latter declined. He told the young man to walt until he was better able.
 "The transaction remained open for a year. At the expiration Of that time the $2. 2.50 man had his pay advanced 100 per cent. He sent his friend the amount of the loan with interest.
 "The benefactor was still looking around The man with the job offered him place in the store, but 1t was re- fused. There wasn't enough ready money in the job to suit him.
 Several years later the $250 man was advanced to the place of head sales man. He sent again for his beneYnctor and offered him place. but this was also declined A few years after this the $250 man was admitted to partnership in the house, which by this time was the great retail house of the young city.
 He made his quondam friend another offer, but the latter was not ready. The pay was not sufficient. A little while afterward the retail house established a wholesale business. It was great sue cess.
 ''The young man who had borrowed the half dollar was placed at the head of the wholesale concern. Once more he offered his old benefactor an opportunity, but tho benefactor declined again, and for the same reason.
 ''The business kept expanding. The concern is today one of the biggest in the middle west. When the S2.50 man died the other day he was quoted at million and a half He had made it in twenty-two years.
 "The man who told me the story. who ran away from opportunity, as he ex- pressed 1t, Is looking for a job In New York-anything that will give him a liv- ing, and keep his body out of potters field when he is through"

pecially young stock and dairy COWS. The great advantage of silos and silage is that we can care for our crops regard less of weather conditions. The dairy industry is fast becoming one of the most profitable industries on our farms and as our dairy interests spread we will need cheap feed and the silo for storing our crops seems to keep pace with the dairy.
 Cultivation.
 Right here I want to say a few words on the importance of cultivating alfalfa fields after they are well established. In some sections and on many soils, some system of cultivation is absolutely neees- sary in order to secure the best results. When the crop begins to show signs of decay a good top dressing should be sup piled as soon in the spring as the plants begin to show signs of growth. Then take a sharp disc harrow, go over the field both ways at right angles and fol- low the disc with a smoothing harrow, leaving the field smooth and level.
 At th's time a few fresh seed should be scattered oyer the field. and especially where ther ar thin barn spots. In Texas and Oklahoma l noticed much fine fei- tiizer going 10 waste around feed lots where cattle feed largely on cotton seed meal. Now this compost, mixed with small amount of available acid phosphate on fairly good soils. and applied 100 pounds of acid phosphate to 800 pounds of this compost pc racre, would bring as tonishing results. This is not only fine for alfalfa, but is also good for wheat and other grains

An Open Problem.

From the North American.
 Like most bus conductors, he shone at his brightest at repartee, and, again, like most of his kind often found the motor busman an excellent target for his wit. He usually scored, and left the scene of wordy grapeshot victori- ous.
 The other day, however, he was beaten at his own game.
 "Hi, mate,' he yelled to a motor busman, whose car had come to a pre- mature standstill. you've lost your nose-bag!"
 ne man addressed affected deaf ness in order to think out fitting re- ply, and the nosebag taunt was twice hurled at him.
 Don't" said the motorman, be- seechingly.
 Don't what?" jeered his tormentor
 Don't" observed the motorman, with calm distinctness, as he jabbed at the bell and the, car began to move. Don't open your ugly mouth so wide, or I shall lose the bloomin' bus, tool"
 And the motor bus was out of sight before the rival conductor had recov- cred.

The National Guard.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Every state upon which the war de- partment has recently made requests for cooperation has responded favoraby, ex- cept New York and Delaware. We do not know. and we do not especially care to know, the reasons why the latter de- clined. But we are bound to say that the reasons attributed to the 7th and 18th regiments here are not such as should raise them in popular esteem. If the Ma tional Guard is to develop into something more than a mere engine for the supres- sion of riots, it's officers should waive some of the punctiliousness with which they are now obviously afflicted-and afflicting others.

A Real Distinction.

From the New York Press.
 A young matron of West End avenue is the only one of her family who Is not in "who's Who," her father being a well known clergyman and her mother. brother and sister being more or less celebrated writers. One day her sister was condoling with he on her lack of dis tinction in this respect.
 ''Never mind, Belle,' said the literary sister, you may not be in Who's Who but you're the only member of the family who is in the telephone book. and that costs real money"

Cork Leas of Elm or Willow.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 "A cork leg?" said the dealer. Why. man. cork leg would crumble under you like a leg of bread. You don't want a cork leg, but an elm or willow one"
 "I thought the best ones were cork the lightest you know"
 NO, indeed. A leg was never made of cork since the worlds beginning. But many men think as you do. and I'll tell you how the fallacy originated The in- ventor of the modern artificial leg-the leg Instead of the stick-was John Cork s cork legs. Cork legs were famous around 18lO. And whenever a man makes your mistake he pays an unconscious tribute to Cork's skill"

 | As a soiing crop alfalfa stands at the | head of all crops. there being no other | crop that will give such yields of green feed of such high value. It has been shown that an acre of alfalfa properly managed could be made to pay as much as $500 or $500 per acre. This may seem rather a large story to the reader yet near our large cities where there is a market for green feed this is not at all an impossibility, for in some countries farmers pay an annual rental of s250 per acre for growing clovers for soiling puI . poses. What we mean here by soiling Is to. cut and feed the alfalfa green instead of allowing the stock to pasture It. There are times when the soil is wet when 1t would be very injurious to allow stock to run at large on alfalfa crops. As shown elsewhere, many crops of alfalfa are pas tured to death; soiling saves all this loss. Besides this, one acre of alfalfa prop erly used. cut and fed to stock Is of more value than three acres pastured Again, 1t has been found that stock gen orally relish the wilted alfalfa, and will eat it in preference to the green. Besides this there is no danger of bloat in stock where the crop is cut and fed. The only objection to this system of feeding the crop is the extra labor, as it is very difficult to secure farm help. However, where it is possible to procure labor, it will pay well to use the alfalfa as q soiling crop.
 Alfalfa for SIage.
 Alfalfa is second to our common corn in importance as silage crop. Some experiments have shown the cost of al- falfa silage from 70 cents to $1 per ton as against s1 to $1.25 per ton for corn silage Alfalfa silage Is better than sil- age made from our common red clover in both chemical composition and feed ing value. It is richer in fiesh-forming substances protein) than clover silage or any other kind of silage, and makes most valuable feed for farm animals, es-

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN
HOLD A CONFERENCE
Nebrsskan Calls Upon the Chief Ex'
eeutive, But Refuses to Give De-
tails OF the Interview.

Washington. president Roosevelt
and William jennings Bryan were in
conference for half an hour in his pri.
vate Office on Saturday.
Il was not invited to call" Mr..
Bryan said on leaving but | called
up on the telephone and asked If the
president would receive callers On
being informed he would, | came
simply to pay my respects to the pres
ldent"
Mr. Bryan was not willing to dis
cuss the details of his interview, but
was free to add details to the financial
plan which he proposed few days
ago. In reviewing every measure of
relief which had come to his notice,
to be intended to meet the situation
as effectively, and at the same time
as simply as the plan he suggested.
This plan, he said, was simply to
have the government insure deposit.
ors in national banks against loss by
reason of the failure of the banks. 1t
was not intended. he said, to have the
government collect a fund for this
purpose, to be kept on hand. When.
ever a national bank should be re-
quired to pay its depositors, 1t would
be the duty of the government to
make an assessment on all national
banks to meet the amount of loss by
reason of the failure. This assess
ment. Mr.. Bryan said, would be in
finitesimal.
Opposition to this plan. Mr.. Bryan
conceded, might be made by state
banks, which would be left out of the
plan. The answer to this, he said,
was that the states should individu'
ally take up the same scheme and
stand as a guarantee against loss by
depositOrs in state hanks.
