Since President Roosevelt made
his recent speech in which he clearly
put at rest any hopes that the money
bags may have had that he would
change his method of enforcing the
law, he is sure to hear a great deal
more Third term" talk. The people
know Roosevelt, and are positive he
will do as he says, therefor many
hesitate to change leaders when the
battle wages hot.

spraying experiments for the pre-

department of Horticulture of the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture are progressing nicely.
While indications thus far show that
the blight is present in the fields in
these districts, it is somewhat early to
predict what damage will result, as
the progress of the disease depends
largely upon weather conditions.
Wet weather alternating with hot
periods is favorable to the blight.
From indications so far the potato
beetle is not as numerous in the state
as last year. The present indications
are for an average crop.

HAPPINESS IS THE KEYNOTE
A Good Month for Almost
Anything to Turn Out
PrOfitably.

Happiness is the keynote of this
month. 1t is a pleasure indeed to
note that the stars prophesy good
only.
This is the most propitious month
of the entire year with the exception
of October alone, which takes pre-
cedence in good influence. The beau
tiful planet Venus, goddess of tender
ness, charity and love, rules supreme.
Before her radiance the dismal and
gloomy dependency of the foregoing
period has vanished. Joy and good
ness reign.
During this period there will be
many favors granted, promises full
filled, engagements made and mar
riages consummated.
The birth rate will far exceed and
the death rate fall far below that of
any other month of the year.
Foreign relations will assume a
most pleasing aspect, and while do
nestle troubles, such as strikes and
rioting will arise, they will be ami
cably settled and with dispatch. A
wave of intellectually will manifest
itself. Disease will centralize in the
throat and chest, but few fatalities
will result.
Trade will pick up perceptibly and
railway returns he much more salts

Theaters and places of amusement
will prosper to an extraordinary de-
gree. Literary and scientific interests
will progress rapidly.

A BLIND MANS GIFT
And the Way He Used 1t
To Advantage.
STRANGE STORIES OF HIS ACTS
Cleared Land, Made SawlOgS,
Pitched Hay and Cut
Shingles.

Cumberland, w. Va, May q
Joseph Warwick, who died recently at
his home near Barton, Allegheny
county, was a remarkable man. From
/ his earliest recollection his eyesight
was poor, and at no time in his life
was he able to see perfectly. Some
! time in early manhood the sight of
one eye was detroyed by accident.
About forty years ago he lost the sigl
of the remaining eye while making
shingles.
After his sight was totally lost he
cleared land, made saw logs and work
ed for the farmers. He could pitch
hay, NOW, rake and bind grain, make
shingles and, in fact, do many things
/ He could make five to six hundred
shingles a day, and found a ready
market for them ats5 or So a thou
sand. He never had difficulty in dis
/ posing of his product. as he had the
reputation of making first cl2 $
single.
After the single wood in his neigh
borhood was exhausted he made pick
handles, which he sold to the miners
at Is cents each, when the turned
or factory made handles could be
bought for 10 cents.
The skill he had in getting around
in the woods was almost uncanny.
lie would start out in search of a
suitable tree for handles, and when
one was found that suited him it was
soon felled with the strokes of his
axe. That part which was chopped
mp and carried to his shack, where
it was worked up into handles. 1t
is said of him that he could go miles
in the thickest forest and never get
lost. He could invariably tell the
the direction a tree would fall.
Sometimes it would be necessary
for him to leave an axe in the woods
over night. No matter how far in
the woods it was, he would return
to the spot the next day and find 1t,
In many respects he was a privi-
legged character, and local land own
ners usually gave him permission
to take such trees as he wanted
He had a keen musical ear, and
took to the violin naturally He
played for hours for his own amuse-
ment, and would furnish music for
dances.
He never married, but lived a re-
cluse for years, doing his own cook
ing and baking.
Warwick was a Dunkard. He had
the money to pay his funeral expense
on deposit in the Barton bank. He
said he did not wish to leave debts
for others to pay.

Held to His Bargain.

A. H. Smith, the general manager
of the New York Central railroad,
said of a financier the other day:
1T is no wonder the man has sue
ceeded. For the sake of money he
would do anything. There is a story
they tell about his youth.
They say that when he was a
burly young farm hand in Pennsyl-
vania tooth fell to aching, and he
tramped to Wyalusing to have it out.
The dentist pushed him back in
the operating chair, stuck a cork be-
tween his jaws to keep them open,
and examined the sore tooth care
fully. Then, frowning, shaking his
head, he selected his biggest and most
substantial pair of forceps.
"1s this going to hurt, doctor?'
said the farm hand, looking anxious
Iy at the tremendous forceps. .--.-
The dentist answered with a smile;
"'Well, If it doesn't, we won't
charge you anything
And he rolled mp his sleeve, hook
ed the forceps on to the tooth, put
his foot against the arm of the chair
for a brace, and-ah, it was horri-
BILE.
but all through the horrible or
deal the young farm hand neither
howled nor groaned nor grunted.
Like an image he sat. Indeed, a kind
of smile flickered from time to time
over his face.
when the tooth was at last out,
the dentist said compassionately:
LIT didn't hurt so very much, did
it"
Hurt? Why it didn't hurt at all,
said the farm hand.
And he took leave without paying,
holding the dentist to his bargain"
