owe Lamp Chimney to chiId.

The comfortable and convenient
lamp chimney of everyday use Is to be
attributed to child's restlessness.
Argand. a native of Switzerland. a
poor man. invented a lamp the wick OF
which was fitted into a hollow cylinder
that allowed current of air to supply
oxygen to the interior as well as the
exterior OF the circular frame. The
lamp was success, but its inventor
had never thought of adding a glass
chimney. and probably never would
have thought of it had not his little
brother been playing in his workroom
while Argand was engaged with the
burning lamp. The boy had gained
possession of an old bottomless flask,
and was amusing himself by putting
ii over the top of the lamp. and the
flame instantly responded by shooting
with increased brilliance up the mar.
row neck of the flask Argands ready
brain at once caught the idea, and his
lamp was perfected by the addition OF
a glass chimney

the material be light in color, gaso'

alike upon the defeated hopes of
political candidates. and we are com.

Bryan is still the Great Commoner

for the oppressed, and the purity and
nobleness of his life has not been
furnished by the political corruption

the cause of the people, were beaten

their party-magnfcent in mind and

To produce beef animal for show
purposes 1t is not sufficient that the
animal be given few weeks of train
ing at the end. to round him into prop
er condition. It is essential to COM
mence the training of the animal at
birth. For beef purposes it has been
my experience that the calf from an
Angus COW, sired by q white or roam
Shorthorn bull, has given the best sat-
isfaction. aim to have the calf born
some time between Dec. and the last
pr January. This will get the calf
into proper condition, SO that he will
derive the benefits Of the early seed
in the spring.
From birth until August the calf IL
allowed to run with the mother. The
cow is MIXED twice each day, so that
b supply of milk will be maintained
for the calf as long as desirable. When
six weeks old it is given a little lin
seed oil cake and yellow turnips.
About the middle of May the COW and
calf are turned into the pasture, where
they are left until the LIST of August.
The calf is then taken from the moth
er and put into box stall, which IN
kept well bedded with clean, fresh
straw.
The calf is sucked twice each day
and given plenty of green feed. In
the morning l give him also a little

him few turnips.
About three weeks before the Open
ing of the show I commence to giva
the calf more personal care and train

but his exercise is all taken at the
ropes end. Each afternoon lead him
up and back half mile lane He Is
allowed to travel at his own leisurely
pace, but Is required to keep moving
and to keep his head held up. After
this he is given lesson in standing,
turning around and starting at the
snap of the whip. Through this means
he soon loses all shyness and will feel
at ease when led into the show ring.
Each day, usually in the morning, l
sponge him off with cold water and
blanket him, thus encouraging the
growth Of the hair.
A few days before he Is expected to
be shown polish his horns, oil his
hoofs and curl his coat Of hair. To
polish his horns I first go over them
with the rasp, followed respectively
by the emery, sandpaper and a piece
Of glass. This treatment is applied
but the first time, and each day fol-
lowing polish the horns with Z
pumice stone and a little olive oil.
His feet are trimmed and a little oil
and lampblack occasionally applied to
give them darker appearance. To
curl the hair the calf is first sponged

According to the Minneapolis
Journal, Cannon and all that Cannon
stands for, received endorsement at
last weeks election. The Journal is
right. Here is Senator Aldrich al
ready declaring that ''go-slow' pol
icy on tariff revision IS wise, and the
chairman Of the ways and means com
mittee, Congressman Payne, echoing
the sentiment. It is admitted that
Cannon will be again speaker, and the
sort of tariff revision that may be ex-
pected with Aldrich, Payne and Can
non in the saddle, is early to conjec-
ture. Since election, Cannon is holder
than ever. He says that there is no
need of completing the Panama canal
for a generation yet, and no necessity
for rush about any new-tangled ideas
It Is Cannon of old, more audacious
and more powerful than ever. And
not at all strange. A majority of the
people have endorsed him.

On Friday 81. Bryan eave soufsthe
following statmeut regarding the cleo
| ton and Its results 81
The election has gone against ua
by "a decisive majority The returns
are not all in, and 1t is impossible at
| the present time to analyze or
| to say what causes contributed most
to the republican victory: We made
our fight upon a platform which en-
bodied what we believed to be go,d
for the American people, but It IS
for the people themselves to decide
what laws they desire and what me-
thods of government they prefer I
have faith that the publicity which
we asked for will yet commend itself
to the American people, that the
election of senator's by the people will
be secured, that the iniqulties of the
trust will arouse an opposition that
will result in the elimination of the
principle of private monopoly. I am
confident that the people will see the
necessity for the labor legislation and
tariff reduction which our platform
demanded. go.
am confident, too, that the educa.
ton work done in this campaign will
result in securing greater protection
to bank deposit0rs. The above are the
most prominent reforms for which we
labored and I believe that these re-.
forms will yet come, together with
more effective regulation of railroads
and Independence for the Fil;pinos.
The nomination came from
the hands of the voters; nave obeyed
their command and have led as best I
could. Words will not express nv
gratitude for the devotion which has
been shown by millions of democrats
during the past twelve years. Neither
am 1 able to adequately express my
appreciation for the kind words which
have been spoken since the election.
If could regard the defeat as purely
a personal one, I would consider it a
blessing rather than misfortune, for
I am relieved of the burdens and re-.
sponsibllities of an Office that is at
tractive only in proportion as it gives
an opportunity to render a larger
public service. But I shall serve as
willingly in a private capacity as in
a public one. God does not require
great things of US; he only requires
that we improve the opportunities
that are presented, and shall be glad
to improve the opportunities for
service presented in private life
