Julius Hauser, New York state treas
urer, whom "the pee-puP' transferred
from the ovens to the vaults, who used
to be a baker, is a Nimrod, although he
does not hunt with brass band, says
the New York World. Mr.. Hauser is
particularly anxious to keep secret the
facts concerning his recent hunt the
opening day OF the deer season ON
Long Island.
Proudly Mr.. Hauser led his compan-

hunting knife to give the doe the coup
de grace If need be.

NFANTs GRowN mo- MEN

A quarter of century ago the one
great campaign argument was the
tariff, or as the Americans called
II, protection to our infant Indus
tries. The mechanic was appealed to
and threatened with wage reductions
II the protectionists lost. Protective
tariff leagues were organized In
every city, town and village; the
doctrine was pounded into the in-
FAINT from the time he left the cradle
and these educational campaigns
were 80 effective that to advocate
any other doctrine meant the defeat
of most any man in the North.
The South was naturally averse to
high protective tariffs and eventual
ly the people saw the manufacturers
growing wealthy by selling their
products at high prices, ana reVolted.
Grover Cleveland was elected presi-
dent, the Wilson bill passed congress
and the panic of 1898 came on at
about this same time. the panic ev-
entually taking precedence. The
democratic party and the Wilson
bill were held responsible for the
panic and the people reversed the
order Of things in the elections of
the following four years. The high
protective tariff system for the pfo-
lection of infant trusts was again en-
acted and the babies grew fat and
saucy until today they are full
grown and have made every million
aire there Is In America, ex.
ceptlng the few who dug their wealth
out OF the gold, silver. lead and cop
per mines of the west.
You never hear a politician Of to-
day advocating protection for our
infant industries because he would
be hooted from the platform; but
they did tell us until the panic came
on that protection meant prosperity.
Whether this Is true or not. most
people are willing to accept It as the
father OF the trusts and the mother
OF the millionalres.
Such is the political evolution
OF quarter OF a century and In that
time the infant has grown so power
ful as to be almost able to strangle
the nation and put an end to free
government The trusts need to be
killed by placing articles controlled
by them on the free list, or at least
by reducing the tariff to point |

Surhanb'G SpinOloSs Cactus a Good
Food For Man and Beast.
The latest and one OF the greatest
achievements Of the genius and pa.
tent work OF Luther Burbank is the
spineless cactus or opuntia, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. Burbank has
sent case Of these spineless opuntias
to the California state board of trade,
where It has been placed on exhibition
with the Sonoma county display.
These specimens show the cactus
leaves in all the stages of evolution
from the wild plant full Of thorns to
the thornless leaf four times as large
and heavy. 1t thrlves we'll on the
desert or on absolutely barren ground.
where nothing else win grow.
In the evolution of the plant the
percentage Of water has been dimin-
ished and the percentages of fiber,
starch and fat largely increased. Anal.
ysis made by Professor NJ. q. jana OF
the state university shows the Chico
opuntia to contain: Water. 9274; ash,
les; protein, 0.5S: crude fiber, O.75,
starch. 4,06: fat. O.19.
The plants are used for hedges or
fences and for ornaments. The leaves
furnish food for all kinds Of stock, In
Guiding poultry. The fat young leaves
make excellent pickles and are good
food when fried like eggplant. They
are also used as greens and produce a
sweetmeat similar to preserved citron.
The abundant mucilaginous juice from
the fruit and leaves Is mixed with
whitewash e make It lasting when
exposed to the weather. The leaves
are admirably adapted for poultlces
and as a substitute for hot water
bags.
The fresh fruit OF the improved va.
riety is unique in shape and color, su.

AUTO FOR FILLING THE SOIL.

| Practically Like Road Machine end
Of Great Utility on the Farm.
Tho gasoline propelled automobile
now helps the farmer TIL the soil. OF
course 1t Is not just like the car that
traverses the boulevard, but it Is pro
PEELED by a motor, and Its mechan-
ical devices are the same as those used
IN the runabout and the racer, says q
Meade (Kan.) dispatch to the New
York Herald.
1t remained for a Kansas man to
invent this machine that saves labor
both for the farmer and his beasts.
Working quietly on his farm near
Meade, Kan, the center Of the won.
derful artesian valley and one Of the
most thriving towns along the Rock
Island-Frisco system, Ansel s. Wysong
evolved the idea Of a motor to do the
work Of his horses. As he sat upon his
gang pillow and turned the virgin sod
Of his new acres he thought up the ma.
chine that he says is destined to eman-
cipate the farmer from many Of the ills
with which he heretofore has had to
struggle.
His four horses had hard work drag
ging the two gang plows along, and he
decided that the application of a gaso-
line motor would give him three times
as much power or more. As a result
ne set about the task Of lnventing
something to do the heavy pulling.
One merit pointed out in the machine
10 Its perfection. Unlike the inven-
hons OF the past, here Seems to be the
correct thing at the very outset.
The new autotractor has many points
Of great merit. In reality 1t IL a COM
bination of the traction engine and
gasoline motor But 1t is much lighter
than the old engine, which had to carry
huge timbers as protection for country
bridges. The car now in use weighs
only 4,100 pounds and Is of thirty
horsepower. 1t may be run with gaso-
line, alcohol or kerosene. It has two
speeds, the low one for use in the field
and the higher one for the road. II
moves across Meade county sod, the
toughest to be found, pulling gang
pl0ws that turn six burrows at q time,
and 1t Is done so easily that effort IL

housekeeper is relieved of much Of
her drudgery by the application OF the
new invention.

Ancient Legend Of the Lost Dutch
Town Of stavorsn.
Along the shores OF the German
ocean, as In other parts Of the world,
there are legends Of great and popu.
lous cities swallowed up by the sea.
Sometimes these legends are based
upon facts and occasionally not. A
writer In the Scientific American says:
THE most striking Of all the legends
u that dealing with the lost Dutch
town OF StavoreI. at the entrance OF
the Zuyder Zee. Hero there lived a
rich and powerful lady, whose pride,
cruelty and selfishness aroused the
anger OF heaven and caused the wicked
and misguided city to sink beneath the
waves. A small portion of the city
(where the good people liyedl was
saved, and Its name still cleayes TO
the small town OF Stavoren. II Is an
indisputable fact that Ia the thirteenth
century stavoren was a wealthy and
powerful commercial city. However,
due partly to the ports becoming
choked with sand and partly to the
Eruption Of the Zuyder Zee In 1877.
1t rapidly lost its importance, and al
the present time what Is left OF It ar.
fords shelter to only about 800 souls.
The roofs and spires Of the now sub
marine buildings can, 1t is said, b.

This was a pretty little village situated

small innocent looking pond, upon
which the good people used to keep
their ducks and other water loving
fowl. One stormy day. why and where
fore heaven only knows, the village
sent down, and its place was taken BY
large lake, which still marks this
attn Of the III fated village. The be-
aigNted peasant returning home after
a hard days work Telling timber in

often sees uncanny looking lights dit
