The Cuckoo.

There are two species of American
cuckoo. the yellow-bilIed cuckoo and
the black-billed cuckoo. Unlike their
English cousins the America cuckoos
build nests of their own, and rear
their own young. 1t is not probable
that many persons outside of the rank
of the bird students know the two
American species apart. They are
much alike in appearance, and their
habits are almost identical. In the
country districts the cuckoo is called
the rain crow, because when it is
heard TO call the current belief is that
rainstorm will follow. The bird.
however is a poor prophet on many
occasions. Through three weeks of
dreadful drought in central Illinois I
heard the cuckoo daily at their noisi-
est and while my farmer friends said.
Tomorrow 1t will surely rain" no
rain came-and the cuckoo kept on
calling.

gave to me personally the day before

asked me to vote for johnson for Vice

perhaps a doubtful contest with Nc

necessary to bring into the support of
the Republican ticket,in addition to
the Democrats who had become Re-
publicans, the large number of loyal
war Democrats, who yet maintained
at least passive relations with the
Democratic party. Among them were
such conspicuous characters as Dix,
of New York. Holt of Kentucky, But

Lincoln as a Judge of Men.

Lincoln was a great politician. He
was the most sagacious of all the
great leaders of his party in attaining
political results, altho stranger
to the common methods Of political
manipulation. He studied men most
intelligently, and he rarely, if ever,
erred in assigning a friend to the
performance Of a political duty. He
alone nominated Andrew johnson for
Vice President in 1864, and there we're
not a score Of men in the country who
knew of his purpose to accomplish

TOBACCO TRUST
and The GROWERS.
Tobacco Which Formerly Brought
Sc and So Reduced to SO
Per Hundred.

From time immemorial tobacco leaf
regions at the free competition of buy
ers. There was never any quoted pric
for tobacco as there is for wheat or
cotton, but the farmers brought their
tobacco to market and the buyers were
wont to bid for it. The trust has
changed all this, for now in a great
part of the tobacco region there is but
one buyer. The trust makes the price
what it pleases, and The farmer must
accept this price or take his tobacco
home again.
Under the operation of this system
such tobacco as for years had brought
in free and open market to cents
pound sells for cents a pound or
less. The land that had formerly pro-
duced SIS 10 5000 an acre now yields
less than half of it's former returns,
and a distinguished Kentuckian has
calculated that in his state, because
of the operation of the trust, the re-
turns to the tobacco farmer are less
than 20 cents a day for his labor.
In four of The counties of Europe
France, Italy, Austria and Spain-to-
bacco is a government business, and
these four governments buy in the
United States every year about 1,0O0,-
900 pounds of tobacco. The trust ar
ranged with the buyers for these
governments that they should have
certain fixed territory in the South
in which they might buy without OPP
position, provided they should buy
outside of that territory.
When this arrangement was made
it destroyed the last chance of COM
petition, and gave over the producer
bound to his despoiler.
Against these conditions the farmers
of the South have protested to the
courts, for every step in the trusts
proceedings prohibited. Yet the law
has never been enforced upon this
trust nor has the government until
lately given it any greater heed than

Statistic of Rabies

The annals of the Pasteur Institute
at Paris contains some interesting
facts and they suggest at least one
question. During 1906 1t seems that
773 persons were treated, Of whom on

only twenty-five were foreigners, and
the question arises as to whether
Frenchmen are really bitten by mad

Did WOMEN
CAUSE PANIC?
Miss Tarbell thinks their Ex-
travagance Did ii.
Women Delight In Buying Pref
ty Things but If Need be
They Can Economic.

This is not another accusation of a
University of Chicago professor
brought against the fair sex, although
Prof. Zueblin was present when 1t was
made. The change comes from no les
an authority that Miss Ida Tarbell
the clever magazine writer, WHO wor-
ships Lincoln and despises Rockefell-
err.
Miss Tarbell contributed explana-
ton number 1876 of the financial cris
sis at a meeting of the Consumers
League in New York recently. She
said that women's methods of spend
ing money were responsible for the
majority of our panics. Miss Tarbell
ought TO know. and it is possibly a
venturesome thing for any mere man
10 come to the defense OF the sex
against one of its members. But we
cannot see it her way.
Women are the great economizers.
Every married man,who married with
discrimination, has discovered this
fact. 1t is reason for the proverb that
two people can live more cheaply
than one. The proverb may be an
exaggeration, but, like all other say
ings of its kind, it has a solid basis
beneath it.
When we write thus we speak from
an experiene that We cannot believe
is singular. One of the unsolvable
mysteries of life for us has been the
ability of a woman to savemoney out
of less than enough. One of the un-
failing surprises that We face with
wide-eyed amazement al times of ne
cessity is a little fund, boarded by
what means we cannot divine, but al
ways there to be a source of comfort
and assistance when demand presses.
Exceptions to this rule exist, we
doubt not; but We venture to say tina;
in the majority of cases the man is 20 /
blame for their existance. If a man I
treats his wife as bookkeeping from
her knowledge all familiarity with his .
own financial necessities, and thus de-
priving her of the facts essential to
intelligent use of money, he cannot
be surprised if she spends unwisely
and triflingly.
Woman is nothing if she is not a
paradox. She can be happy spender
and a most devisive saver. Where is
the woman that does not like to buy
pretty things? Where is the woman
who finds no pleasure in getting a bar
gain,even if it is of no necessity to
purchase 1t? And yet the same wom-
an, in the majority of cases, if she |
is told the need of economy can get a
peculiar satisfaction out of planning
ways and means 10 make one dollar
go the distance of two, and will tri-
umph in the amazement of the man
10 whom she displays her savings laid
away in some corner of a bureau, or
deposited in a savings ac- I
count.
We have a deep respect for the {
opinions of Miss Tarbell on many I
questions. She has done service to the
country in refreshing our memory of {
It's greatest soul in her life of Lincoln. 1
and in opening our eyes to the in /
guilty of Standard Oil; but we cannot I
accept her explanation of the panic.
