Crescent Rhode Island Reds Win
at Spokane.

Ware & DeSellem, the pioneer
breeders of the famous Bhode Island
Reds in the Valley, were very suc-
cessful in the competition at the
Spokane Fair exhibiting sixteen
birds and winning fourteen prizes.
In the single comb class they were
awarded, ten prizes and in the Rose
Comb class they won six awards.
The Crescent farm has won 20 pre-
miums in 1908 and 80 premiums
since the Poultry Ranch was started
in the Fall of 1905. This is a record
that any chicken man would be
proud of and is an encouragement
to everyone in the business in the
Valley.

ALL METALS HAVE LIFE.
AS Expert Puts II, Statement is BE.
You'd Argument.


Metals have life,' said metallur-
gist firmly. mot much life, but lit
tie, AS plants lives are to ours, so
are metals lives to plants.
'Eere's the proof:
"You know how a strip of muscle
will contract under the electric cur
rent, and how, finally, it grows tired
and contracts no longer? Well, with
a strip of platinum it is the same
thing. The platinum, too, grows tired
and refuses to contract.
and metals can be stimulated, de-
pressed, poisoned. Thus:
Platinum wire, immersed In water,
gives off an electric current that may
easily be measured. If you put bicar-
Donate of soda in the water, the stim-
ulated wire gives off a weaker cur
rent. Put in bromide of potassium,
and the depressed wire gives off a
weaker current. Finally put in oxalic
acid, and the poisoned wire gives off
no current at all 1t will never again
give off any current 1t is dead.
Now, leave it to you. If you can
tire a metal, depress it, exhilarate it,
and finally administer to it fatal
dose of poison, have you not right
to say that the metal has Iife?"

schemed for Hls ranv.

When Andrew Carnegie was a
young man, he was inordinately fond
of taffy. And when we learn the
scheme he adopted to keep himself
supplied, it is easy to understand
why to-day he is able to build H.
braries.
Andy suggested to the other clerks
in the office In which he was employed
that they organize club for mutual
improvement. One of the rules pro
vided that any member guilty Of US
Ing an improper or slangy word or
violating any of the numerous regula-
lions laid down for gentlemanly con
duct, should pay fine of one cent for
each offense. Tobacco was not al
lowed in the Office, so under the skill
full wire-pulling of Carnegie, it was
voted that the fund should be used for
the purchase of taffy. Carnegie was
elected treasurer and disburser Of the
fund, and, as he never had to pay
fines for misconduct, his taffy cost
nothing.

BIG DECREASE.
Only 81 Mob Victims Last
Year, AZ Negroes.

Chicago, H., Jan. 1.-Only fifty
one lynchings were recorded in 1907,
a much smaller number than in any
previous year for the last decade.
In 1906 the total was sixty-eight and
in 1905 it was sixty-six. All but
four of the fifty-one cases of lynch
ing in 1907 we're of negroes, and
nineteen Of the cases were those in
which the charge against the victim
was assault on white women or girls.
In the four cases of white men one
was for an assault on a girl. Several
of the cases in which negroes were
lynched were based upon the MUIR
der, or alleged murder, of white
women in which the question of as
sault is implied.
AS In previous years, nearly all
the lynchings were in Southern
States, Mississippi having ten and
louisiana and Alabama nine each.
Quaker-settled Pennsylvania record
ed one case, that of a negro report
ed to have killed his wife, and one
lynching occurred in Iowa and Ne
braska each.
= In three of the four cases in which
white men werelynched murder was
charged. Atrocities are hardly re-
corded in the lynchings of 1907; in
most cases the victims were sum
marily hanged or shot. and there was
no burning at the stake, such as has
accompanied these acts of summary
vengeance in former years.

the holder to travel free by any class

no more and that tempus edax rerum

gave him a bottle Of some kind of mix

it. After the patient had taken the
compound for some time he met his
doctor and thanked him for the won

uselessness of KILLING Authors,

There is really no use killing al
author to prevent the country pro
ducing others, because the man with
a book in him is like a bird that mus
lay an egg. We might start new or
ganization to discover people likely
to write books and strange them be
fore they fiud a publisher, but ever
that would fail, because It is not pos
sible to tell who can write a success
full book until 1t ID written. The
literary faculty arises in the most I'm
expected ways. and even dogma can
not anticipate its uncertainties
