That was the confession of young NJ. +. Davis of Des Moines, la. in pleading guilty to the murder of his wife.
 Young Davis was a bright, hand some, capable and popular druggist who, while crazy drunk. shot his wife and aftexVard seriously wounded the pbysiciahU who was called to attend her The wife died q few days after the shooting. leaving an infant son Davis pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree and was sentenced [" Fort Madison prison for eighteen years

LAND FAMINE IN AMERICA.

The time has pasted when a man might move westward and take up virgin soil at his pleasure, and, in general, it may be said that the son of the farmer of today must look for his sole heritage in the land his father ''Uncle Sam has farm for everyone of us.' In nineteen hundred and six we had less than ninety million of unoccupied habitable land. What a slim reserve that is may be realized from the fact that one-fourth of it was disposed of in the following year. The Craftsman for July.
 The Craftsman describes a condi- tion and follows it up. at length with a partial remedy consisting pricnipal- ly of intensive farming The latter is reasonable and easily seen, but what the Craftsman fails to discuss is our suicidal policy of filling what little unoccupied territory We have left from the hordes of the East
 The boast that Uncle Sam has a farm for every one of us was once true and probably would be true to- day but for the fact that the old and correct doctrine of America for Americans" has ber relegated to the junk heap and We have opened our gates to a never ceasn9 stream of aliens who seek this haven of pre- sumable plenty because their own over-cTowded countries are no longer capable of supporting them.
 How long, at the present rate of in- crease, natural and artificial will it take to fill all the American territory that is now unoccupiedo And when once filed what have We in store for rosterity?
 With only ninety million of free acres in 1906 and one-fourth less in 1907, how much will be left dozen years hence?
 Even the arid deserts of the West have been relinquished by the ever Increasing demand for more territory, and the swamps have been drained of their murky waters and productive farms established where once miasma reigned supreme, and still the quest for more territory goes with never failing recrudesence.
 The problem of the future is great and needs the attention of profound

IS THE DOC MAYS BEST FRIEND

At last there is one man who is
 daring enough to combat the old idea
 that mans best friend is the dog. By
 this man the dog is pilloried as the
 embodiment of all that is evil. This
 man is r. IL. Coburn, secretary of the
 state board of agriculture of Kansas
 His denunciatiOn was called forth by
 farmer in Norton county writing to
 Mir. Coburn for advice on sheep rais-
 ing. Read an extract from Mir. Co.,
 burns reply:
 Norton county in 1905 had HOO dogs and 152 sheep, increasing the dogs lad S5 the following year de- spite the fact that no other county would prove more profitable for sheep raising. The dog is a worthless, syco- phantic, lawn-defling, flea-breeding, fly-snapping, porch-loafer by day, equaled by no other domestic animal Ill uuSpcdhdUlC Ol pdo LilICS dAu a sneaking, murderous coward, prowl- ing all the countryside by night, harmonizing with the harmless, bene- ficent sheep only after the sheep is in- side his stomach, it's wool in his teeth and his jaws dripping with it's blood
 And now the Norton county farmer doubtless sees the foolishness of rais- ing dogs, but if he is like the average dog owner in Arkansas he would rath- CT his sheep and his neighbor's sheep were all killed than to give up his dog. He has an Idea that his dog is his best friend and that settles it. There are some men so foolish over a log that they have been known to beat their wives and unmercifully thrash their children for very slight infractiOns of family discipline, but never a blow for the dog, however worthless the animal may be.
