LORD sALIsBURY's MISTAKE.

The recent death of Gen. Sir Red
vers Butler of the British army
recalls an incident in the life Of Lord
Salisbury which in a measure re-
fleets official opinion on the failure
OF Gen. Butler in his brief career
as commander of the British troops
in the South African war.
The marquis of Salisbury, in the
last years of his life, was almost
blind and deaf. One day his secre-
tary presented him with package
just arrived from Buckingham pal
ace; it contained large photograph
of the king in uniform, with an af-
fectionate autograph dedication for
the old premier.
Lord Salisbury looked at the pic
ture in silence for some minutes.
and then, dropping it on the desk be-
fore him, he muttered: "Poor Bull
er! Poor Buller!''
In spite of his failure, however,
Gen. Butler, until the day of his
death, was the idol of the rank and
file.

miniature tambonrine, which is
struck by small wooden hammer

effective, but the noise is said to be
enough to reviyify a cadaver. So
great is the demand for the new
alarm that in less than eight days

PATRoNIzE HOME MERCHANTS

The business community can af-
ford to be broad and liberal, but
there are certain things in which
Lexington business men should stand
together for Lexington, first, last

to keep as much of the Lexington
trade at home as possible. We
should practice as well as preach

stores, and decreasing what some

people have considered the neces-
sity of going to Cincinnati or Louis

great educational center, is in the
opportunity for becoming a more
important retail shopping center,
and the wholesale distributing cen

to Lexington merchants. spent here
would mean an increased volume of

Believing that its first duty is to
Lexington, and not in any spirit of
hostility to Louisville or Cincinnati,
it is the policy of The Herald to de-

the trade that should be given to

Get This into Your Noodle.

The farmer was in store one rainy day He had made a purchase, and as he put some change back into his pocket nickel fell to the floor and was rolling under table when he suddenly slapped his foot on the coin and stopped it where he could get it. That was very sensible thing to do.
 The same farmer keeps quite bunch of cattle and hogs. That same rainy day there was a large manure pile back of his barn and some of it was being washed down the hill into a gully and carried off to the river. Not only a nickel but many dollars were rolling down the hill every time it rained, and he never attempted to stop the loss. Could he afford the loss? No, though his farm was by no means in need of commercial fer tilizer-Southwest Farmer.

How to Tie Wool.

Do not tie your wool with sisal or binder twine. Woolen manufacturers are up in arms against this practice, and are more and more refusing to ac cept from wool dealers wool that is tied with ssal or binder twine, and the time has come when the buyer of wool must discriminate against this kind of twine. for the reason that ill untying the feeces it is impossible to remove sisal or binder twine without leaving some of the fibre in the woo;, and this causes defect in the goods when made, to the annoyance and eX- pense of the woolen manufacturer, who has has to put such pieces of cloth among his defective goods.
 In Ohio the tying up of tags in fleece of wool is criminal offense, and if discovered is punishable by im- prisonment or fine, or both, at the dis cretion of the judge trying the offense.
 It is in the power of the wool grow CTS to improve the value of their wool by proper tying and tagging, using the bound, wiry sisal. It is barely possi- ble that the wool dealers and manu- lecturers will refuse to accept wool tied with sisal except at a discount from a merchantable price.-Southern Cultivator.

Grape-Nuts Perfectly Balanced
 Food.

No chemists analysis of Grape-Nuts can begin to show the real value of the food-the practical value as shown by personal experience.
 It is food that is perfectly bal anced, supplies the needed elements of brain and nerves in all stages of life from the infant through the stren- uous times of active middle life, and is comfort and support in old age.
 For two years I have used Grape Nuts with milk and little cream, for breakfast. I am comfortably hungry for my dinner at noon.
 T use little meat, plenty of vege, tables and fruit in season, for the noon meal, and if tired at tea time, take Grape-Nuts alone and feel perfect ly nourished.
 Nerve and brain power, and mem ory are much improved since using Grape-Nuts. I am over sixty and weigh 155 lbs. My son and husband seeing how I have improved, are now using Grape-Nuts.

To Use Waste Cotton.

Abilene offers as a candidate for the State Senate this year w. J. Bryan, who was formerly a Repre- sentative.
 MT. Bryan is now going over his district talking up a novel proposi tion which he says he will support, if he gets chance, and tha5 is a cot ton mill under control of the State Penitentiary Board, to utilize the labor of female convicts in making cotton bagging from cotton waste.
 MT. Bryan declares that the jute bagging is manufactured by foreign trust, which extorts millions of dol believes that a cotton mill adjunct to the penitentiary could utilize the cheaper grades of cotton and make a satisfactory bagging that would be more protection to the cotton bale than the jute bagging, less unsightly, and at a saving of several millions of dollars to the farmers of Texas every year.
 Jute bagging costs nearly dollar a bale, and if B cents could be saved to the farmer it would amount to a million dollars a year. Then there would be nearly two millions more kept within the State for the raw ma terials, skilled labor, provisions fort he conyicts working in the mill. Such a mill could be built by the State upon the principle on which the State bought and operated the Cunningham sugar plantaticn-the profitable em- ployment of convict labor in such 2 way as not to compete with the citi- zen labor. MT. Bryan believes the idea a good one, practical, and would like to see it put in operation by the neXt Legislature. - Dallas (TeXas) Demo crat.

Buying Small Farms.

There has been a very noticeable increase in the demand for small farms the past winter, mainly from city men who have been thrown out of employment. In some sections they have bought up practically all the small farms in the market, paying good prices for them, and generally making the entire payment in cash. Most of the purchasers are American born mechanics and tradesmen who have had farm bringing-up. They have saved a little money and now, when their source of livelihood has stopped, they naturally turn back to the land where they know a com fortable living rewards honest, intel ligent effort.

You can save the seed of turnips 5eets, carrots, cabbage and collards by bedding during the winter and set. ting out the next spring. Most of the other garden vegetable seed can be saved during the season. The seed you save yourself, get good seed, and it is very profitable for the time and trouble taken. It takes little time to save the seed. Have a mouse-proof box to put your seed in, gather them, label them and put them in the box.
