ball loving public of Pueblo. After get

both Curtis and Walters. his work has
improved to such an extent that the
n ajority of the fans are emphatic in
declaring him to be one of the best
Umpires seen here in several seasons.
Some of the fans even go so far as to
declare him an equal to Haskell and
on the whole his work is to be COM
mended. His czar-like tactics. which
were so Objectionable at first have al
most entirely disappeared, and now,
although he still runs the game as it
should be run, there is very little room
for criticism. His belligerent attitude
has made the players understand that
he is not to be abused and although.
he will permit them to question a de-
cision, there is very little back talk.
II is hoped by many that he will return
here with the team.

Plenty of regular exercise must be

Humane sIaughtering.

In Germany, where the retail meat
dealer is usually his own butcher, eff
forts are being made-as elsewhere-to
substitute humane slaughtering for the
old-time practices that have caused
much suffering. Saxony is taking the
lead, and now has strict laws forbid
ding bleeding until the animals have
been made unconscious. Cattle and
other animals are stunned by blow in
the center of the forehead, usually with
something more certain than the ham,
mer or ak Of a few years ago. Many
butchers apply the slaughtering mask,
which covers the eyes and has a shar1
bolt that is driven into the brain by d
single blow from a wooden hammer
but less strength and skill are required
in apparatus using powder-one 81
these being in the form of a tube like
a telephone receiver, that projects a
bolt when the cartridge is exploded
by gentle tapping, while another fires
a sharp-pointed bullet instead of the
bolt An improved instrument just in,
troduced into England is the poleaS
gun, which has steel barrel in place
of the striking end Of the ordinary poll
eax, with a wire through the wooden
handle for pulling the trigger. In Ger,
man, italian, Swiss and other cities
abattoirs are public institutions, where
butchers go to slaughter their animals
under municipal supervision.

knowledge that the new opera house at

sold out for their performance that kept
them together.
''Wait till we get to Ticonderoga," the
manager would say to any one who

JOY WORK
And tbe Other Kind.


Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along because
it meant their daily bread, and the 9th
ers cheerfully and eagerly pursuing
their way because of love of their work.
1t is fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch OF
health's temple and you will find
Grape Nuts as a. daily food is the

We have thousands of testimonials,

people who simply tried Grape-Nuts out

If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
it's worth while to give it fair, inn
partial trial. Remember there are mill
ions eating Grape-Nuts every day-hey
know, and we know if you will use

Notes by a Working Farmer.

Notes by Working Farmer.
To make a success of farming avoid
expenses.
Food given to Improbable animals
is wasted.
With a variety of stock one can util-
ize all foods.
Best breeds do not insure most prof
it without proper treatment.
All foods for plants must be soluble
to be available.
1t is the little economies that count
up most in the end.
A high selling price does not lessen
the cost of production.
Concentrated foods should always
be fed with those more bulky.
1t needs faith in your occupation to
bring about complete success.
It rarely pays to feed for a merely
possible increase in price.
Underfeeding stunts growth and
overlooking is waste Of food and of
time.
There is more profit in growing an
animal than in fattening one already
grown.
Profitable feeding consists in giving
an animal all that it will eat and di-
gest properly.
It is not the hardest labor, but the
best directed labor, that accomplishes
the best results.
The nearer an article is put in con-
dition to suit the purchaser the better
it is for the seller.
Good food and shelter pay well in
either case, but always best when Civ
en- to the best stock.
The value of commercial fertilizers
depends on their containing the ele-
ments which the soil needs. t
Profit in farming depends upon three
factors-the cost of production, the
time consumed in producing, and the
price received.

CAUGHT A SEA BAT.
Strange Fish Taken in Seine Off North
Carolina Coast.


One of the rarest specimens of the fish
kingdom known to waters contiguous to
the North Carolina coast was captured in
a seine at Masonboro sound recently by
William Hewlett, fisherman. The fish,
which was brought to the city,
is what is called ''the seat bat' and
it is a perfect reproduction of a leather
wing bat on a large scale. The fish is
about Is inches long and about 80 inches
across the back.
Strange to state it had a thin thread
like tail about Is inches in length and
on each side of the rear appepdage were
two perfectly formed gioved feet, with
smaller diversion having the exact APP
pearance of a thumb, with the other part
of the hand mittened. The mouth of the
strange specimen was about inches
across and on each side of the mouth or
the under side of the body there were
five "strainers" or holes through which
the fish is said to rid itself of refuse
products resulting from the forage it
picks up. at the bottom of the sea. The
top of the fish was a dark slate color and
the under part of the body was white.
One old negro fisherman more than 70
years of age stated that this was only
the second specimen of the sea bat he
had ever seen in his long experience as
a fishermen. The specimen, which had
truly uncanny appearance, will probably
be sent to the state museum at Raleigh.

The InvincibleS.

+'Robley Evans has been a splendid
fighter one of our very best fighters In
his time; and no wonder"
The speaker, an aged resident of Floyd
county, Virginia, laughed.
''Robley was born with military ge-
MUS" he said. "He showed military ge-
MUS from the cradle.
II saw him, one day in his childhood,
playing tin soldiers with another boy.
Each had toy cannon that shot rub
Der balls the size of marbles, and each
had an army of about hundred tin sol
diers. The battle was a big gun affair:
The boy who knocked over the most OF
his opponents tin soldiers won.
''Robley always won. His cannon
balls would always destroy the opposing
army, while. his own forces would re-
main practically intact. Yet it seemed
to me, somehow, that Robley shot very
little, if at all. better than the other
boy"
The Virginian laughed again.
"And. by Jove. he didn't, either!'' he
said. He had some kind of paste on the
bottom of his soldiers that glued them
upright to the floor Detroit Free

the other companion of my youth. The
eye which never loses sight of yours, the
bare, free brow, the freckles, the plucky
mouth, the engaging air of freedom ana
enterprise and humor, in more than one
Ayrshire face, brought up the image of
a little group Of schoolmates, now scat

Midget's Memory Fails.

Miss Mary G. McCulloch, supervisor of
kindergartens for the board of education,
told this one:
when child starts to school il is pro-
vided with a blank to be filled in by its
parents. Only simple questions are
asked, such as the date and place of the
child's birth, the nativity of its parents,
etc.
Little Susie was given one of these
blanks, with the other new scholars.
when she applied for admission to one of
the kindergartens in the north end. All
were teld to have the blanks filed out
and return them to school the next morn
ing.
when Susie came to kindergarten the
day following something was wrong. She
began crying almost as soon as she en-
tered the room, and refused to be com,
forted. The cause of her grief did not
develop until the blanks were called for.
Then little Susie sobbed:
az forgot my excuse for being
borned' Mobile Register.

Notes on Orchard Culture.

Each tree has an individuality of its
own and must be dealt with accord.
ingly.
Good, frst-class fruit is the aim OF
our efforts. Never be satisfied with
anything else.
Stable manure is without doubt the
best general fertilizer that can be ap-
piled to orchard soils.
Make the orchard a business venture
and keep an account of everything per.
tanning to it's interests.
When poor fruit is produced there is
a reason. Aim to find it by careful
study of the trees and conditions.
Nature grows fruit for the seeds
while man grows it for the pulp. We
want pulp with as few seeds as pos
sible.
In removing large limbs saw them
off about three feet from the trunk tC
prevent splitting. Then saw off close
to the trunk so as not to leave a pro-
iecting stub.
