The Milking Sfonl-

The milking stool notices that the men who raise beef are not concerned about dairy breeds. They never talk about dual beef COW, but thousands of dairymen insist that they want double decked COW to fall back upon and "fal' in with COW that possibly pays her board, but that not very of ten, and sells for cheap beef at last.
 Why do not the beef men clamor for q COW that they can sell for a dairy COW if she fails as beefer?
 At the auction sale it is the fat, blocky COW that sells best because sev- en men say that she is an easy keeper, Ignoring the fact that easy keeping and milk giving do not go we'll together. She is fat because she gives little milk.
 A COW that lays on flesh easily is miser, living for herself. The well fed, thin COW is giver and. like a true mother" is generous in her food gifts. National Stockman and Farmer.

 The device used for watering the hogs is exceptionally well adapted to the purpose in the absence of natural water supp!y-in fact. it is perhaps more desirable than ponds or even run ming streams on the score of cleanli- ness and decreased liability to infec- tious diseases. A sled large enough to hold an ordinary barrel is covered with a heavy water tight floor and boarded up water tight four inches around the edges. The barrel is provided with a

Young Trees For Forest Planting.

Young Trees For Forest Planting.
 In general it may be said that young trees cannot be grown successfully without rather careful attention. Yet 1t Is certain that seedlings can be grown in connection with the vegetable gar den at only a slight expense of time and material and by methods very sim- liar to we'll known garden practice. The cheapness of the young trees thus pro- duced should enable the small land owner to plant much more extensively and to realize profit by the protection afforded his buildings or crops or by the utilization of waste land for the production of wood material.

MORE LOTTERY INDICTMENTS.
Grand Jury VIII he ImBaneIed at
Wilmington to Continue Work.

Mobile. Ala. April 1.-THE investlga-
ton into the operations Of the Honduras
Lottery has been completed by the Fed
eral grand jury, who have been at work
for three weeks on the case. Eight more
indictments have been returned, but these

3 Nields, who has been in Mobile sew
eral months in connection with the inves-
legations, and who left yesterday for

that Mr. Nields would not return to Mo
bile as at first indicated. The district at
torney goes 10 wilmington TO impanel a
grand jury there for probing into the op-
erati0ns of a lottery company.
II appears that tickets of the Honduras
National Lottery Company were printed
in that city, and that the government
has decided 70 impanel a special jury
there for the purpose Of indicting all per
sons engaged in the printing, shipping
and selling of lottery tickets. The SELL
Ing and circulating Of tickets of the COM
pany is TO be made another count in the

IMPUDENCE VS.. HEROISM.
BY JANE LEWIS.

Off her bait as soon as the hook touched
the bottom, but he had nothing 10 say.
He even grinned because he had nothing
TO say.
Half an hour had passed away when
Miss Bessie changed her position. II
did not seem to be a secure one, but IN
her defiance and chagrin she was will
ing 10 take chances. She rebaited and
cast in her hook, and within a minute
something seized it. She repTessed a
cry and was taking firmer grip on her
pole, when the planks under her feet
gave way. and she went into the pond
with a shriek and a splash. She rose
to the surface gurgling and gasping, to
find the impudent young man beside her
and saying in her ear:
Il expected IT, Don't struggle and
you'll oe all right We have got 10
90 over the dam, but I can swim ashore
below with you"
The girl ought to have given him zone
of her looks" but she did not take ad-
vantage OF the occasion. The water was
very cold, and the fall over the dam was
ten feet She gasped with fright and
clutChed the young ran, and then night
seemed 10 have come. She had tainted
away. When she opened her eyes again
she was in bed at Aunt Marys and the

"She will do nicely now. I happened
70 be driving by the old mill and saw II
all. That young fellow managed Ike a
hero. There was no boat. and I could
render no assistance, and two or three
times l thought they were gone"
"Aunty," asked the girl after the doc
tor had gone. did I fall into the mill
pOnd?"
Yes. dear
and 90 over the DAM"
Yes"
And how-hoW was I saved2"
why, that impudent young Teller had
the impudence 10 jump in after you and
bring you ashore. If things are TO go or
this way, I don't know where they will
stop. I'll Just bet he'll have the nerve
10 call here and ask after you"
Aunt Mary was right That evening
the young man did call and make in
quiries and leave his card, and twenty
four hours later he Was again ushered
into the parlOr 10 ind the rescued maiden
able TO be about. Aunt Mary heard a
great deal Of talking and some laughing,
and at the end of a half hour when
the caller withdrew she was ready with
the observation;
"WeH, I 'spose it's some more Of his
impudenee?''
IL think I must have been mistaken
all the time, Aunty, replied the girl with
a blush

Moo. I guess he knew more about
fishing than / did"

MANY DEAD STILL IN RUINS.

Mexico City, Mex. April 2l.-Refuges
from Chlpancingo and other places in
remote parts Of the State Of Guerrero
which were destroyed by the earthquakes
are beginning to arrive here and the
stories which they tell of the catastrophe
make Il seem that the loss Of life viii be
much greater than the early reports. The

The local authorities are charged with
inactivity and indifference in the matter
OF directing the search Of ruins for the
recovery Of bodies. What work IS being
done In this line is Of an imperfect char

rived here. He says damage 70 the town
and loss Of life have been greatly under
estimated. All five of the companys engi-
neers have been pressed into the govern
meHt service in examining buildings and
hunting through ruins. and according TO
his personal reports, the examination Of
the ruins Of the various buildings which
had fallen had been prosecuted with very
little vigor. He said that the bodies OF

There may be good fishing in the Ba-

there will be no further impudence on the

Affairs have progressed too far and too
agreeably for that In the language Of
Aunt Mary:
