he mumbled. Its time was on the
move. / made the boy start out in
the teeth of this storm, so l guess
ought to risk 1t myself"
He tied Daisy and Lass to the back
OF the wagon, and drove slowly into
the road. 1t was terribly hot. this
July weather. The dust rose so thick
ly about him that at times he could
hardly see the fields he was passing.
He had to drive slowly because of the
cows and this poking gait irritated
the team, so that they jerked at the
lines and SHE'D nervously every time
weed stirred beside the fence or
stone turned under their heels. A
light breeze was blowing down the
road, going in the same direction as
the wagon, and bringing fog of dust
along with it. Suddenly Jay no.
ticed that even this breeze had died
out; and as he turned his head to
catch any sign of wind in the dis
tance, the sound of a continuous.
humming roar came to him. He
whirled in his seat and stared back
up the road.
The highway upon which the Haz-
Teton farm lay was the old State
road, running straight as a plumb
line for nearly two hundred and fifty
miles. Between the farm and the
town lay few insignificant hills, but
Tor several miles on the other side
there was neither rise nor depression.
For this reason, when Jay turned in
his seat he could see nearly to the
old creamery, two miles away-not
quite SO far, because coming down
the middle of the road and hiding all
that lay behind, dragged what an.

storm? Did it kill all the cattle?"
To this three-barreled question
Watson replied with his usual delib-
GRAFTON. I'm over at mothers, and
l missed the storm by reason of goin'
half a mile south of 1t. The cattle
is all right-little bit skittish. but
guess We'll beat you into town yet"
The boy explained afterward that,
feeling sure bad storm was COM
ing, he had taken the road to his
mothers place, instead of keeping
on toward town. And for once Jay
did not scold him for disobeying
orders.-From the Youths Com
panion.

Make the Land Yield.

The secret OF success in farming is
TO make each acre of land yield its
utmost at the least possible expense
AS many as sixty bushels of wheat
have been grown on one acre, as an
experiment, yet some farmers who
secure twenty bushels per acre are
satisfied. There is always "room al
the top" in farming as in every other
occupation. Epitomist.

Fortunately his neighbor's barn
was directly in line with the lane.
still more fortunately, the double
doors were open. Jay guided his

ward declared. with the shaking
knees of one who has been through
the valley Of death, he crawled from
his wagon and tied the team to the
stanchions.
Half-heartedly he examined the
two muddy cows. They were puffing
and wild-eyed. but apparently unin-
1ured by their run. Then he went
to the door, waited for a fash of
lightning to show him the house, and
started toward It on a run. He had
stood the strain as long as he could
without human companionship, and
even at the risk Of being struck by
the darting lightning, he was deter
mined to reach the house
He did reach it, and was received
by the two old people within with
gestures of welcome, but without a
word that could be distinguished.
After half an hour the storm began
to abate, and Jay was able to tell of
his race with the tornado, and of the
misfortune that had overwhelmed
him--for In the loss of his cattle the
young man thought he had been more
stricken than he would have been by
death itself.
"And the boy!" he groaned. His
mother a widow, and me sending him
to his destruction-when he didn't
want to go! I thought 1t was just
his shiftlessness. He was always
making excuses for putting things
off,"
You're not to blame, Jay" the
woman of the house comforted him,
mo one will blame you. And you've
lost all that fine stock. It's terrible"
you did the best you could" the
husband agreed.
After the storm had gone, leaving
behind 1t the odor of wet dirt and
fragrant meadows. the three went to
the door to see what was left. Limbs
of trees were scattered even in the
farmyard, where the cyclone had not
come. The straight wind that fol-
lowed 1t had sufficed to tear them
from the trees and to strew them
for rods in every direction. And
across the fields the watchers could
see straw stack burning, where the
lightning had struck it. AS they

played the keenest interest in the let
| ter of e. Fl. Hartman, especially in
regard to it's relation to his own charge
made in the 1904 campaign, that the

issued the following statement:
That $150,000 was turned over by

Of railroads and other great corpora
tions. The public importance of an
investigation at this time, therefore,
cannot be overestimated.
One OF the questions now pressing
for solution is whether Federal govern
mental control over railroads and otnel
great corporations shall be further
extended. 1t will help to solve that
problem rightly, to learn that govern
mental power In the past has been
used for political purposes; used to
raise money to continue in existing
administration. The proof that 1t has
been used will make it perfectly clear
to every mind that 1t can be used
again; aye, that it will be used again,
and, indeed, will continue to be used
so long as politics and business can
be made mutually helpful to each
other.
An Investigation should be had that
will bring out the whole truth. 1t will
help many to see quite clearly what is
now hidden, viz. the ultimate purpose
of some of those who seek In the name
of RETURN to strip the states Of power
that 1t may be centered at Washing

REPUBLICAN KETTLE OF FISH

"You're another" and you're an.
other" is in substance the expressions II
retort of Roosevelt and of Hartman in
the stirring of the Republican kettle OF
FISH by E. II. Hartman, who would con
troll, if he could, not only all the rail
roads in the United States, but would
be the dictator, the absolute authority
over the nation known throughout the
world as the United States.
1t would appear, from the publicity
given to letters written by Hartman,
that he was being consumed by his am
bition to secure the seat of United States
Senator Depew of New York, who was
to have been sent to Paris as the repre-
sentative of this government, but his
well laid scheme was frustrated and he
failed to secure the prize he sought. In
his wall of disappointment he admits
that he subscribed fifty thousand dollars
to two hundred thousand dollar con
tfibution to the Republican campaign
fund in 1904, which was used i'll the cleo
ton of Roosevelt by influencing fifty
thousand voters in New York from
Parker to Roosevelt.
II will be recalled that Judge Parker,
the candidate of the Democratic party
for President, charged that the elector-
ate in New York was being corrupted
in the interest of the Republican candi-
date, which aroused Roosevelt to a
vitriolic denunciation of this declara-
ton, afterwards established beyond a
doubt by the developments in the New
York Life Insurance scandals. In the
admission of this contribution of fifty
thousand dollars by Hartman to the
Republican campaign fund is confirmed
the deplorahle and demoralizing candi-
tion through which the Republicans have
triumphed by the power of money.
Unwittingly Hartman has laid bare
the methods of party which should be
relegated into oblivion In the stirring
OF this political kettle of fish the odor is
strong and smells to the clouds, and it is
TO be hoped that the people, self-respect
fui, fair and honest, will determine on
change of party, responsible in a great
measure for the political debauchery of
men and Of principles.

CAN A LOUISIANA MEMBER OF
CONGRESS RUN FOR THE
GOVERNORS OFFICE

This query, as headline to political
article in the New Orleans States OF
April 2, is significant Is it aimed at
Congressman Broussard2
Broussard is the only member of Con
gress from Louisiana with known asp-
rations for the Office of Governor.
The States quotes the Constitution of
1870 which requires the resignation OF
such candidate six months before the
election. The Constitution of 1870 is as
dead as dried herring and is of no eff
feet.
The States quotes from the Constitu-
ton Of 1893, whose application is nope-
rative in a primary election for the nom
ination of Governor and other State of
ficials or senators and congressman.
The language of the Constitution is
clear and distinct and requires the re-
signation of such candidate, if con-
gresham, six months preceding a regu-
Lar election; therefore, if Congressman
broussard or any member of Congress
from Louisiana would list in primary
election for the nomination to the office
Of Governor, there is no law which
would nullify such nomination, but the
nominee, if a congressman, would be re-
CURED to resign such position within six
months before the regular election.
The suggestion Of Federal supervision
IN congressional election would not
apply in the nomination of a congress
man or the nomination of congressman

the primary methods, any more than
such supervision would be permitted in
