Fertilizers for Summer and
= Fall Top-Dressing and
Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer Or
early fall This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention OF the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
cellent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
oughlv reliable. We can also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers II
accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing. cost of materials. etc., to any one
who will write US, mentioning TINS pa

Tommy.

Tommy" are you tired?''
yes" said Tommy Grossly, "1'm
tired, and Fathers working in the
fields, and l have to take him his
dinner before l go to the fair"
"Why don't the servants take it?''
Servants ~ said Tommy scornfully !;
we've got no servants. "We are not
rich people!''
"Wouldn't you like to be rich?" the
eldest sister asked, while the two
little ones walked slowly around Tom
my, looking at the feather in his hat
and the knife and fork in his hand.
'No, it's too expensive" said Tom

have to buy such a lot of things, and
to wear fine clothes. and they can't

room." said the girl.
That's because he's rich,' ans
wered Tommy, land people would talk
if he didn't; rich people can't do as
they like, as poor cam"
"And my father lives in big
house," the girl went on, for she was
vulgar and liked to boast.
"And it takes up a lot of room.
My fathers got the whole world to
live in, if he likes, and that's better
than a house,
But my father doesn't work." said
the girl scornfully.

"Rich people can't work" he went
on, $50 they are obliged to get the
poor folk to do it. Why. we have made
everything in the world. Oh! it's q

''But suppose ali the rich folk died?''
But suppose all the poor folk
died." cried Tommy, what would the
rich folk do? They can sit in car

"How did l happen to become a ho-
tel clerk?" replied the man behind the
desk. "Well, it was this way: l used

learned about whales. In fact, I was
second mate of the first iron ship that
ever rounded the Horn, bound from
Boston to San Francisco loaded with
-four. yeast and salt to furnish grub to
the California miners soon after the
civil war
1--WE got around the Horn all right
when we ran into about the worst bit
of weather ever brewed on the Pa
cific Iron ships were an experiment
then, and we soon found ourselves IN
trouble. The fresh water tanks sprang
a leak, and the water ran down over
the cargo. To make matters worse,
the -four barrels and boxes Of yeast
broke loose, and with the rolling of the
ship we soon had it all mixed up to-
gether In other words, the whole
ship below decks was full of dough
that the rolling Of the ship kneaded
Just as a regular breadmaking machine
does out in the kitchen here. And it
began to rise.
1--WE fastened down the matches at
first. but soon had to take them off on
the lower decks or the expanding dough
would burst the ship. And we put on
all steam for San Francisco. We
crossed the equator like a race horse.
and there we made our second great
mistake. The strain on the engines
caused them to break down, so we had
to go at half speed. and we were at a
standstill for two whole days right
there under burning sun. The storm
we had run out of, and the weather
was clear and hot Whew!
"Then we got under full steam again
and plowed north to the Golden Gate
with deck hand sitting on the safety
valve. But we were too late. The
tropic sun had baked that shipload Of
dough into one huge loaf of bread.
How to get it put of the ship was a
question.
"The owners, who Were the captain
and one of our passengers, sold the
ship just as she arrived for only half
what they had paid for her new in Bos-
ton. But the new owner was a genius.
He put the hungry miners to work with
picks and shovels cutting out the bread
and sold it at the rate Of 81 shovelful.
It was the finest bread you or any one
else ever ate.

PIITSBURG ALDERMEN
REAPE|D Well, FROM | BANKS

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 24.-That at
least $4,000 was paid coumcilmen
for the selection of certain banks as
repositories for the city's funds has
been almost positively established
through evidence submitted and
statements furnished by the Voters
league and the Scranton, Penn, de-
atectives employed by the league to
give this city a municipal house
cleaning.
Whether all of the banks selected
as repositories contributed to this
fund has not been established. Off
GERS of but one bank have so far been
arrested and they are charged with
the payment of $17,500 Of the alleged
bribary fund. That other bankers
are to be arrested is almost positive
ly stated by those back of the probe.
Mayor Guthrie, who refused to
make contracts with the banks as
authorized by councils, on the ground
that they were Illegal, said tonight
that the selection Of the repositories
Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-12-25

is void because secured by bribery
and fraud and that councils can set
them aside without the formality of
court proceedings. The period of
which the repositories were selected
expires early in February.
That other arrests are to be made
is pralatically admitted by all con-
cerned in the cases, but the present
intention is to let the matter rest un-
til after Christmas Detectives are
still at work, however, and if de-
velopments make it necessary the Of
ficers will close in upon the suspects
before the time now fixed by the
league. ].
The Voters league has been assur-
ed Of all the financial backing needed,
it was stated by Vice President H. B.
w. English tonight. The league de-
pends wholly upon voluntary contri-
buttons but Mr.. English said any sum
up to s500,O00 can be secured at any
time it is needed, without effort, prof.
fers having been made by leading
| wealthy men of the city.

ACROSS OCEAN
in A BALLOON
Indianapolis Man Will Try to
Visit Europe With One Big
and 20 Small Balloons.
Preliminary Tests Prove
Successful

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 24.-A bal
loon trip that will attract the atten-
tion of aeronauts and scientific men
in all parts of the world is being ar
ranged by Carl G., Fisher, of this
city, and George l.. Bumbaugh, a pro-
fessional aeronaut and balloon man
ufacturer of Springfield, Ill. The pro-
posed flight will be across the Allan
tic ocean from some point on the
eastern coast of American to Europe.
s The plan is to make the trip in a
gigantic balloon, attached to which
will be twenty smaller supply bal
looms, the gas from which may be
fed into the large balloon as the
leakage makes necessary. Instead
of basket to carry the passengers
a specially built boat will be used. -
As a preliminary step Fisher and
Bumbaugh made an ascension this
afternoon from the gas plant at Fall
Greek and Northwestern avenue, this
city, for the purpose Of experiment
ing with the small gas bags. The Co
lumbia, a 40,000-foot balloon, and two
supply balloons, each of 1000 feet ca
pacity, were used in the experiment
and maneuvering. The aeronauts
made a trip of twenty-five miles and
say the test of the small balloons
proved successful.
