Mrs. Higgins Rallies to Her colors.
The Kemah county court convened
on Tuesday, the second week in De-
cember The judge coming with his
court reporter to Velpen on Monday
found the river still open. December
had crept softly to its appointed place
In the march of months with gentle
heralding of warm, southwest winds.

gins of the Bon Ami, with mournful
shake of her head You mark my

She was serving the judicial party
herself, and capably, too. She dearly
loved the time the courts met on eth
er side of the river. 1t brought many
interesting people to the Bon Ami, al
though not often the judge. His COM
ing for supper was a most unusual
honor, and it was due to Louise, who
had playfully insisted. He had hum
ored her much against his will, it
must be confessed; for he had deeply
worn habit of making straight for the
hotel from the station and there re-
naming until Hank Bruebacher, liv-
eryman, who never permitted any
thing to interfere with or any one to
usurp his prerogative of driving his
honor to and from Kemah when court
was in session, whistled with shame
4ess familiarity the following morning
to make his honor cognizant of the
TACT that he, Hank, was ready But
he had come to the Bon Ami because
Louise wished it, and he reflected
whimsically on the establishment,
amounting almost to horror on the
face of his good landlord at the Vel
pen house when it became an assured
fact that he was not and had not been
in the dining-room.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Gsma lie On

Contrary to expectation, the case of
the State of South Dakota against
Jesse Black was called soon after the
sitting of the court Monday afternoon.
No testimony was introduced, how
ever. until the following day. Inch
by inch, step by step, Gordon fought
for fair jury through that tense af-
ternoon. Merciless in shrewd exami-
nation, keen to detect hesitancy, pre-
JUDGES sought to be concealed he
cleverly and relentlessly unearthed.
Chair after chair was vacated-only to
be vacated again. 1t seemed there was
not a man in the county who had not
heard somewhat of this much-heralded
crime-if crime it were. And he who
had heard was prejudiced partisan.
How could it be otherwise where feel
ing ran so high-where honest men
mostly felt resentment against the
man who dared to probe the wound
without extracting the cause of it, and
hatred and fear curiouslv intermin-
gled with admiration of this outlaw
whose next move after obtaining his
freedom might be to cut out o. the
general herd, cows of their own
where tainted men, officers
or cowmen, awaited developments
with a consuming interest that was
not above manipulating the lines of
justice for their own selfish ends?
Yet, despite the obstacles in the way,
Gordon was determined to have an un.
prejudiced jury in so far as it lay in

Court adjourned that evening with
the jury-boX filled. The states friends
were feeling pretty good about it,
! Langford made his way into the bar
where Gordon was standing apart. He
passed an arm affectionately over his
friends shoulder.

At the hotel Mary and Louise were
already seated at the table in the
dining-room where the little party u.s.

Vegetable Ivory.

The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Ply
telephas macrocarpa. 1t is a native
Of South America, found chiefly
along the Magdalena river, in Co
lombia. 1t is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top of which is crowned
with from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a
conglomerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in
a woody covering, forming altogeth-
er a globe as large as a mans head.
A single plant sometimes bears SIX
or eight of these heads, each weigh
ing from twenty to twenty-five
pounds. When young they contain
a milklike fluid, which with age
hardens until it becomes valuable as
q substitute for real ivory.

should be remembered that these fig

The whole milk calves from one to
three months made much better gains
and appeared to much better advan-

The growth of the whole milk calves
from one to three months, as shown by
the measurements, was about equal. to
that from three to twelve months. The
weights, however. do not show this
same relation. as the gains from three

Of the whole milk calves for the twelve

Water One-half the Live Weight.
Peas are especially good feed for
lambs and are eaten with better appe
tite than any other grain. but the mix
ture with corn makes a better balanced
ration. There is more digestible nutri-
ment in this mixture than in any other
combined grain foods. I have also
found the pea straw to be a very much
more agreeable feed for roughage than
any other kind Of fodder.
But there are several other things to
be considered in feeding besides the
feed alone. The lambs should be kept
in comfort and in an airy and warm
shed in which they may run out at will
and have a supply Of fresh pure water
from a well always in reach. Water is
not as often thought of in this connec-
ton as it should be. AS 1t forms one
half the live weight of a lamb, it fur
nishes a considerable help in the feed
ing not only directly. but as an induce
ment to the lambs to eat heartily and
digest and assimilate the food more
completely. Plenty Of water aids d.
gestion and helps to increase the
weight of flesh and fat made more
than many persons think. All feeding
animals. but especially sheep. should

reasonably rich in protein. If skim
milk is not available a combination by
weight of two parts bran. n part
gluten feed. n part cornmeal and

four parts cornmeal and one part mo
lasses ought to prove satisfactory. The
writer sees no particular advantage un-

feeding other than as an appedzer.-J.

Lieut.. Kelsey and Sergeant Sine Of
Twin Brooks brought down a squad
of men to drill with us Tuesday. Tie
Twin Brooks men are gooo fellows
and showed up fine in drill.
Almost all the drilling that was
done Tuesday was on the school
grounds. Capt. Fuller was not able
to be present and Lieut.. Kelsey had
charge of the men.
After drilling on the campus a while
Tuesday the men were marched down
main street before returning to the ar
mory There was quite a crowd on the
street and in it were several hayseeds,
who had at some time during their
measley careers heard a few com.
mands of militia tt cites. Just to
show their lack of sense anG in an en-
ueavor to confuse the boys they
shouted the commands repeatedly, bu,
it had no more effect on the boys than
it had on the moon.

are hard to get and Company "D' is
indeed fortunate in having them.
Just before dismissal Sergeant Sine
made a short speech to the boys and
said that during his experience with
militia he had nOt seen a company of
men learn so quickly and accurately
as the members of Co. "D.'
Some talk has been made of an in
vitation to Co.. "D' to attend the en-
campment at Big Stone the latter part
of June. Nothing is positively known
vet but it is likely we will attend.
A squad of men will be enlisted at
Stockholm in the near future and will
drill with the Twin Brooks bunch.
Victor GRANDSON has been appoint
ed corporal, tho it has not vet been
officially announced.
With the exception of one or two the
soldiers here are all fine fellows.
There is a private in the ranks who
thinks he has q generals authority
over the men next to him in line, and
doesn't hesitate IN trying to use it
There is still a chance for this Peskv
Private to learn better before going to
camp and we sincerely hope he will
take advantage of it.
