When a woman has q hen to drive
into the coop, she takes hold of her
skirts with both hands, shakes them
quietly at the delinquent and says,
"Shoo, there!" The hen takes one
look at the object to convince her
that 1t is woman, and then stalks
majestically into the coop. A man
doesn't do that way. He goes out
doors and says, ut is singular no.

picks up stick of wood, hurls it at
the offending biped. Get in there,
you thief" The hen then loses her
reason and dashes to the other end
OF the yard. The man straightway
dashes after her. She comes back
with her head down, her 1;ings out,
and followed by an assortment of
stove-wood, fruit cans and clinkers,
and a very mad man in the rear.
Then she skins under the barn and
over fence or two, and around the

excited hen can talk, and all the while

srBy this time the other hens have
come out to take a hand in the de-

be sold In the morning, and puts on
his things and goes down the street,

Popular Judgment.

n we have to choose between the
expert bureaucratic judgment and
the instructive popular judgment in
foreign AFFAIRS. we unhesitatingly
choose the latter. 1t is the latter.
and not tho former, which has made
the British Empire. and whatever
dangers there may be from ignorant
idealists or vote-catching dema-
gogues. they are immeasurably less.

Breeders, Notes.


Shake the hay well out before feed
ing.
Do not compel horses to drink
warm water.
No farmer makes money raising
inferior horses.
Take the dirt off the legs with a
rag or soft brush, rather than with
the currycomb.
The farmer who has his surplus
capital invested in good horses has
a draft which he can draw at any
time.
Keeping the skin of the work
horses clean enables them to sweat
freely and thus is essential to their
health.
Get rid Of the surplus horses that
are not growing into money. There
is no advantage in keeping enough
extra horses to eat all that useful
ones earn.
1t is not good policy to force the
growth of colts by giving them
stimulating foods and overfeeding
them. Tie overgrown horse is sell
dom durable one.
A horse, especially II he is ner-
yous, is much more likely to be
alarmed by the sound of noise he
cannot see than by the sight Of
things he does not understand.
The origin OF many diseases
among horses can be traced directly
to filthy stables. 1t is, therefore,
good economy to keep the stables
scrupulously clean. Boston Cultiya-

lect said that he stood before
them in the attitude OF a penitent,
as the returns showed that Ne
braska had been found IN the
columns of the solid south. The
speaker was at his very best and
his speech throughout was we'll
received. In closing he cited his
hearers to model American homes
as more essential to good govern
ment than Who Should Rule
Here is what the Hiawatha Daily
World has to say of Mr.. Reavis.
"Hoa. c. F. Reavis of Falls City
responded TO the toast. Our
Country and he made d splen-
did speech. He is an orator of
more than local fame, having
spoken at various occasions in
many different places--always
pleasing and instructing his hear
ers with beautiful and a%ppropri~
ate sentiment. He has a most
sympathetic voice and a fine
presence and no better speaker
has addressed our people,
Mr. Reayis was followed by
Congressman D. r. Anthony of
Leavenworth, whose subject was
Our Congress" and he certainly
placed himself squarely before
his constituents in regard to ev-
cry promise made before election,
so far as his acts in that body
were concerned.
These we're followed by a dozen
or more responses to toasts on
topics along the lines of good
government by as many able
speakers.
Much credit was due Ewing
Herbert, the POSTMASTER, for this
most pleasant event as it was
through his untiring efforts that
this meeting was brought about.
During the evening an organi-
zation of the National Republi-
can League was organized aud
perfected by electing a president,
secretary and treasurer, which
will have for its object the up
building of the grand old party
and instructing and educating
the young voters.
Hiawatha certainly did herself
proud on this occasion. and this
mingling of old friends and the
forming of new ties will ever be
a pleasant spot in the lives of all
those present.

BATTLE BETWEEN POLICE
AND FOREIGN LABORERS

Chicago, Jan. 16.- Two men were
killed, one policeman wounded and
several workingmen injured in a pitch
ed battle last night between three po
licemen and thirty Hungarian labor
ers at Gar, Indiana. Guns and revolv
ers were the weapons. Though out
numbered ten to one the policemen
stood their ground until reinforce
ments arrived, when fifteen men were
captured. The fight lasted several
hours. Several Hu1garians destroyed
the tent of a negro laborer and when
he sought redress in the Hungarian
camp he was fired upon. He swore
out warrant and the battle began
when the policemen sought to serve
the warrant of arrest upon the as
saila1ts of the negro.
