HOME FOR BAD MEN.

Prisoners like Majors, Sullivan and
Delning will be at once placed in the
new cell house, where they can be left
safely to themselves in the corridor
from which they can not possibly hope
to ever escape. They might saw and
saw and saw on those five-ply steel
bars for months without producing any
impression. After several fair trials,
it has been found that these three men
can not be allowed their Thirty in the
prison, as they are like so many wild
beasts, breaking loose in some desper-
ate act when tho impulse may como
suddenly on them. Majors is obedient
to prison rules, but he is continually
scllCning some way to escape. and each
time his plots have been detected and
unravellcd, they have been found to
have involved the life OF a guard.
Those5n1en would not hesitate to MUIR
der at any time, IL they thought they
might regain their liberty. There are
other men there not much Of q remove
from them. III fact. Supt. of Construc-
ton John II. Rausch OF the Pauley
Jail company who is putting il, the cells,
says there are more really desperate
men here propnrtionately. than in any
other state prison in the United States
This Is explained by the fact that GRIM
mails having served terms in eastern
prisons drift west, get into trouble here
and then into the Utah State prison.
The same may be said of Pacific coast
desperadoos drifting east.

BOAT HAS EXPRESS SPEED.
Western Designers Expect Their
New Craft TO Beat All Records.

Western Designers Expect Their
New Craft TO Beat All Records.
A craft with the speed of an express
eral motor boat enthusiasts along the
upper Mississippi River and several de
signers have been working together
with the result that they have produced
boat with which they expect to shat
ter all the present records, says the
New York World
Frank Titus of Fountain City, Wis,
formerly owned the fastest boat on the
river in the famous Bat, the small
craft which attained speed of nearly
twenty miles an hour with nine-horse
power engine and for three seasons held
the speed record on the upper river.
The Bat has been sold to physician
Mt Cassville, Wis, and her engines will
be used In another craft.
Until the advent of the Chief of Rec
ord. formerly owned by A. Gardner OF
Winona, the Bat outclassed all boats
on the river, large and small, and could
leave the fastest steamboats, In the
stern waves.
Gardeners boat, % feet long, with
nine-horse-power engine and 4-foot
beam, was, until the middle of the
season. the fastest boat in that terri.
tory. At Wabasha on July 4, in the
motor-boat races, the Chief of Record
outran the Bat and other boats en-
tered and finished nearly a half-mile
in the lead in six-mile course. The
Chief of Record attained speed of
twenty miles an hour and for the
horsepower Installed was considered
the fastest boat between ST Louis and
st. Paul.
Late in July the Skip, owned by
Eugene p. Gleason, of Lacrosse, was
launched at Red Wing and clearly out
classed other water racers. The Skip
| is 81 feet long, with a 4foot beam and
is equipped with a twelve-horse-power
motor in three cylinders. The Skip
has attained as high as twenty-five
and a half miles an hour. but through
failure TO provide a sufficient cooling
annaratus for the engine is unable TO
maintain this pace indefinitely
/ The skip now holds the speed rec.
| ord on that part of the river with the
exception of a boat of the same de
sign, which is 80 feet long and is
equipped with a sixteen-horse-power
three cylinder motor, The new boat,
| however, has not entered into compe.

she is said to run nearly a mile an

coast and the lakes require from fifty
to seventy-five horse power before a

Forty or fifty in one flock are suffi-

Der by all means make a change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they are worth. Ii you do
not care to sell any Of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies Of about forty fowls each and
build houses for them in different parts
of the farm. For instance, If you have
one hen house on the east side OF the
barn, put another house on the west
side, Then If you have enough birds
put another house down by the calf lot
and another to the farther end OF the
barn yard. A dozen different places will
suggest themselves If you look for To-
cations on your farm. If you have
made failure in raising chickens or
your hens don't amount to much"
try this method 1t will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier,
will lay better and viii require less
feed. The reason for this will be easily
seen when you have once tried 1t.
Chickens, or anything else for that mat
ter, cannot stand crowding Also the
colony plan gives the fowls wider range
and encourages the birds TO hunt for
their living. Exchange.

DO you know" said the tamale fiend

good part of the profit in the tamale
trade goes to the farmers of johnson
County, Kansas"
"Oh, shucks! y returned the other
Yes, that's just it. The farmers out
there supply the Kansas City market
with the corn husks the tamales are
wrapped in, and it would surprise you
to learn the extent of the business. Any
old corn husk won't do for the business,
either. II you'll look at these you'll
see the texture is very close. the sur
face smooth and that the lengths are
uniform Only the inner husk is used,
the fine white covering that grows next
to the ear. The proper length is about
nine inches, to allow for the ends be-
ing folded over the tamale when it is
steamed, as you see them now"
Why, who'd go to all that bother
for dinky little business like this?"
asked the listener incredulously.
Bother? Dinky? Say, do you know
these corn husks are shipped in here in
5OO-pound bales? That's quite a re-
spectacle sized industry, take it. At
any rate, the Kansas farmers have
found 1t profitable enough to go to the
expense of buying presses to bale the
product and large agricultural supply
house in Kansas City finds it worth
while to carry it in stock and cater to
the trade of the tamale men"
What is the particular advantage
of using corn husks for this purpose?'
asked the listener. isn't there any
thing else that would do?"
Nothing that would answer as many
purposes. The corn husk holds the
tamale while 1t is cooked and at the
same time imparts flavor to it. 1t
also holds the heat as nothing else
would"
well, it beats me !" said the other
mgn. as they went on II never gave
it much thought, but always supposed
the tamale men bought up all the old
mattresses to get their corn husks"
