Poor, Richards Almanac,

DR.. Franklin himself in one of the
last numbers Of the almanac gathered
together all the best sayings Of Poor
Richard, which for twenty-five years
had amused and edited the country.
These sayings are in constant use at
this day. For example, early to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy,
wealthy and wise;:' ''Driye thy bust
ness-let it not drive thee;;'' Help
hands, for l have no lands;'' "No gains
without palms, Constant dropping
wears away stones;" 'Three removes

plow would thrive must himself Ell

makes a lean will;" Experience keeps
dear school, but fools will learn in
no other" 1t was such homely max
inns as these inserted in all the little
gaps Of the almanac that made it so
popular. Franklin said he sometimes
sold 10000 copies in year, a wonder

vii DCAT FOI2 A PET.
range Playmate OF Two Little Girls

Strange Playmate OF Two Little Girls
liza Pasadena.
How would you like to have real
live wildcat for a pet? This is what
little Elsie Stearns, six months old, and
Helen stearns. aged nine, daughters Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w II. Stearns of Pasa-
dena, Cal. regard as. their dearest
treasure.
They would rather play with this big
California wildcat than with their
smaller domestic cats, and he is just
as good natlced IS any Of the rest too. |
Bengal is his name, and he looks the
part, for his marking is very similar to
a bengal tigers. He is q beautiful an
imal, about three and one-half feet long
and very heavy. His fur is soft and
thick, and it is with this soft fur that
the round faced baby loves best to
play. '.-..
He was caught when three months
old in the wilds Of the San Bernardino
mountains and purchased from hunt
er at that age by Mr.. Stearns. He has
been with the family since that time
He was put with several small an
CORA kittens and grew up and played
with these. He used to roam the house
and jump on tables and bookcases, Just
as other kittens, but he has grown too
large for that now, and they are
obliged to keep him in the open, for in
his playfulness he might break orna-
ments and dishes.
He is devoted to the children. He
will lick the baby's hand and face and
let her play with him just as roughly
as she wishes, with never growl or
sound, and he is also fond of little
Miss Helen. He likes women and chill
dren generally, but does not care for
men.
He knows instinctively his natural
enemies, however, and is ready to pro-
tect himself. He does not like dogs,
and not very long ago small dog
ventured into his kennel and was
thrown out and summarily killed with
one stroke by the powerful cat.
The dogs belonging to the Stearns
family, however, are exempt from this
treatment. He does not go near them
but now and then runs up and gives
; them sly tap, as If to say, ''Now will
! you be good?''

Sunderland is eighty-one years old.
He retains many youthful propensi-

court that she had found him in the

Mrs. Sunderlin was suing for SLABS,
alleged to be due on an agreement un-

He was to pay her $500 a month. He
did this, she said, until 1904, when he
refused to contribute any more.
Under instructions from the Judge

The separation, she averred, was due

Glover and Potatolnstit
to be Held Turnout Potato
Section Of Minnesota

The farmers institute management
Will conduct a series OF special potato
and clover Institutes throughout the
potato sections tributary to the twin
cities and Duluth, the latter part Of
March and early in April. Such
subjects as varieties ct potatoes, selec
ton OF seed; treatment for scab, pre-
paTatlon Of seed bed, planting, cultiva-
ton, spaying and marketing, will be
discussed by successful potato growers.
Clover, live stock and potatoes make
a very logical system OF farming, as
clover and small potatoes are good
stock feed, clover and manure are the
best known agents OF fitting the soil
for potatoes, and the com bination dis
tributes the labor throughout the year.
Potatoes are an exhaustive crop to
the soil II grown continuously on the
same land A crop Of clover with It's
heavy root system and power to add
nitrogen, and a good dressing of
manure, renews the soil to its original
producing power. Many farmers are
getting from 200 to 400 bushels Of
potatoes per acre when handling their
soils in this way.
The production of clover seed is now
very important enterprise in Mime
sofa and the best methods OF handling
the clover crop for seed should be
known by every farmer.
All of the above special topics will
be discussed by practical men at the
special clover and potato institutes to
be held at convenient points through
out the potato growing sections. 1t
you believe such a meeting would be
of value to your neighborhood, held
in your schoolhouse or village hall,

Railroads. as we'll as other adj.

that the only legitimate advertising,

All western and northwestern rail-

adopted the attitude toward advertis.

time by the railroads belonging to the
Trunk Line association.
The railroads have been plunged
into frequent squahbles over the
ethics of advertising and the new
ruling will harmonic this feature of
the railroad business.

of this decision of the railroads, said

him the light so that he conld sec as
he got under tie boiler to examine
that part of it. He no sooner had the
globe IN his hand when he stepped on
to pile of damp cinders, and became
surcharged with electricity which
rendered him unconscious and the
muscles of his body rigid. It was then
that j. K. Martin attempted to take
the globe ont of Mr.. Parks hand and
received a shock which knocked him
against the. wall. file returned to the

brought HIM to the floor. The globe
was then kicked out of his hand.
None are the worse for their ex-
perience, although they were con-
siderably weakened at the time.
