There has been much talk abroad Of late
TennieIs celebration of his nneteth birthday
anniversary has set the English commentators TO
work, and in France the death of Caran d'Ache
has given the Partisan critics a theme Incl
dentalIy the old question of what satiriCal jour
naliSm should or should not be has been duly
revived. In many quarters comparison of
French and English methods has been made on
the assumption that caricature has Oscillated
between two principles, between innOcuouS play
fulncss and coarse malice. Either extreme is
dangerous, whether in d drawing in a bit
OF verse, but the peril would seem to be greater
for the too gentle satirist The flabby carl
catre is apt to be 4 little further from the
truth than the savage one For one thing
mUshy disposition will react upon the technique
of the craftsman writer. The difference
between English and French caTicature is
rooted IN. national traits which cannot be
changed. 1t is also an affair of technique
If that too, must be regarded as having a
national significance, it is nevertheless not
reasonable TO surmise that a sharper temper
among the London wits might have helped
them TO become better craftsmen through
making them nimbler and more daring The

Gillray harmed rather than helped themselves
is a salutary influence. The technical brill
lance of a man like Forain owes much to a
61rdOnic point of view.

existence TO a zeal which has carried Dr.
Kalischer through year after year OF hard work
TO the realization of a high editorial ideal He
has wished not merely to assemble a vounnous
collection of Beethoven's letters, but to estab-
lish a pure text for each one. and to supply

Save the LIQUID MANURE,

1t is surprising how few farmers in
some sections have liquid proof stable
floors. They seem unconscious of the
fact that with the average ground floor
or leaking plank floor they lose more
annually than would build good ce-
ment floor. The liquid excreta con-
tains practically all the potash and
more than half the nitrogen, be-
sides being in more readily avail
able condition for plant food. Cement
Is very cheap now, and so much has
been said of late in our papers about
cement construction that every farmer
should be able to lay cement floor
in his stable. There is no better time
than during the lull of the work at this
time. Saving and utilizing the liquid
manure is of the greatest Importance
to the man who would keep up the
productive power of his soil at the
least expense.-L. w. Lightly in Ma
tional Stockman

road insensible, with his nose smashed
fiat.
Il have never yet seen desperate
or man killer who, if he thought an an
tagonist were ready for him with
weapons equal to his own, would not
back out of fight" remarked Sen
ator Stewart some years ssTp.
There was Sam Brown, %he cham
pion bad man of Nevada in the old
days. He was a giant, six feet four
inches high and weighed $50 pounds,
and as feroeious looking man as ever
mortal eye beheld Killing was his
trade, and one winter in Virginia City
he slew sixteen men.
II had been retained by a client
whose interests were opposed to the
desperate, and l thought it best ON
the day Of the trial to put couple
of old fashioned Derringers in my over
coat pockets. When / saw him enter
the idea came into my mind that he
had come NC make me his latest vic
tim. His favorite weapon was a big
bowie knife, and the knowledge that
the villain meant to stab me to death
made me feel exceedingly uncomfort-
able. But knew it would never do to
show the creature that he had me
scared, and, looking him squarely in
the eye, brought the pockets of my
overcoat around to where he would
see the full shape Of both my Der
ringers. My hands were grasping the
handles, and / was ready to shoot on
the second. These pistols shot with
terrific force and would knock down
even if they did not kill.
81 saw his eye fall on the weapons.
Before this he had been fumbling at
his knife, but Immediately he ceased
and presently he walked out Of the
room. When the business was over
/ found him in saloon taking a
drink With a smile intended to be
amiable he invited me to join him. A
week later he asked me to represent
him in mining suit"
1t is asserted by friends of Senator
Stewart that If his absence Of mind
could have been cut into strips and
pasted together end to end it would
reach twice around illimitable space
and tie in a double bowknot. Out on
the slope they used to tell story Of
how he was Fastening one morning
to catch train when he suddenly
stopped and said to his companion:
''There, by thunder! I've left my
watch under my pillowr
Lets go back and get it." said his
friend.

don't believe wen bave time," and he
drew the watch from his pocket, look

TAFT's SUMMER CAPITAL.
Home For President at Beverly One of
Massachusetts Coasts Beauty Spots.

Rome For President at Beverly one OF
Massachusetts, Coast's Beauty Spots.
The cottage which President and
Mrs. Taft are to occupy this summer
at Beverly, Mass, is two stories and a
half, painted green. Around it are
trees and shrubbery and stretches of
well kept lawns, and the place is one
Of the beauty spots along the shore.
Entrance to the estate is from Ober
street and is guarded by two great
stone posts, the cottage itself being
hidden from the Travelled way by the
trees, although it is but few minutes
walk in.
There is great covered porte-co-
chere over the private driveway lead
ing to the house. Running around on
three sides is wide veranda, and on
the ocean side Is tower crowned with
a dome and with windows nearly all
around on the third floor. There is a
veranda leading from the second story
on the ocean side of the house over the
dining room, which can be reached
from every one Of the bedrooms.
From the hall on the Beverly side
Of the cottage one enters the great liv-
ing hall on the left. The hall is light
ed by glass doors, which open on the
veranda on the ocean side, and four
stained glass windows over the land
ing ON the main staircase. The living
room is finished in paneled sycamore,
with a tapestry paper running to the
ceiling molding. From the living room
the staircase leads to balcony,
around which are the chambers, six in
number, on the second floor. A chan
delier hangs from paneled ceiling.
From the living room to the right is
the music room, finished in white,
There is beautiful library on the left
finished in cherry, with telephone
and other tables.
On the second floor, from which en-
trance Is made from the balcony, are
the chambers, all with ocean views.
These are for the most part finished
in white. The beds are of brass, and
the furnishings are complete. Bath
rooms connect with the chambers. On
the third floor are a number Of guest
chambers, all equally well furnished.
From the living room on the left is
the dining room about 80 by 1S, with
windows opening on the ocean. The
dining room is finished in paneled Eng
lish oak to the height of four feet, and
the paper is a tapestry, with a heavy
white cornice at the ceiling. The din
ing table, the Chippendale buffet and
the colonial chairs are all In mahog-
any. There is a comfortable fireplace
in this room. The cottage is lighted
by electricity and has every modern
convenience. The stable can accom-
modate half a dozen horses and still
furnish room for a large and well
equipped garage.
| Should President Taft desire to play
golf he will find the Montserrat goli
links two miles away, the Hamilton
Golf club four miles and the ESSEX
Golf club seven miles. The Myopia
Hunt club is six miles away and has
wooded roads exclusively for horse
back riding. In the village, one mile
away, are both Episcopal and unita
rian churches.

The Covered MIX Pail.

One of the great drawbacks in the
production Of a high class dairy butter
is the ordinary milk pail. 1t is prac-
ucally impossible to obtain dirt-free
milk with the open top pail, even
though the cows udder is washed and
every precaution for cleanliness taken.
If pail of milk drawn under ordinary
conditions be strained through a fold
ed cheesecloth and the residue exam
med it will show plainly the need of a
different pail. A covered pail, having a
small opening at the center where the
milk can drain through several thick
nesses Of cheesecloth, is a vast i'm
provement over the old style open top.
In this way much Of the floating dust,
loaded with bacteria, will be kept from
settling in the milk. Professor Hughes,

ROGUES' GALLERY ON LINERS.
Steamship company's Plan to Protect
Card Players From Sharps.


Chagrined because of the failure OF
passengers to prosecute ocean gam
blers, Captain Clippers of the steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm II. and the off
GERS of the North German Lloyd have
arranged new method to warn pas
sengers, which, it is believed, will be
effective. 1t is the posting of photo
graphs in the first class smoking room.
AS warnings printed in various Ian
guages in big black type seem to be
of no avail, the system of framed pho
tographs of men whose methods are
SO well known that there can be no
mistake will be installed.
The photographs of the gamblers
with their various aliases attached
will be framed, and it is believed that
no gambler whose face is pictured will
dare to set his foot on the steamship
that is SO decorated.
The express ships will be first equip
ped, and if this proves a success all
others will have the interesting. bureau
of faces for travellers to scan.

STORIES OF STEWART
Former Nevada Senator's Excit
ing Adventure With Indians.
HOW He AWED A BAD MAN.

Experience In Courtroom With Me-
vada's Champion Desperado-Ex-
amples Of His Remarkable Absent
mindedness.
United States Senator William M.
Stewart, who recently died in Wash
ington, distinguished himself for his
interest in the Indian question, as all
the country knows. Among other
things he induced the government to
establish an Indian school at Carson.
If the senator was like ordinary men,
he would have rejoiced in the oblites2-
ton Of the redskins, for it is owing
only to his own nerve, mules and the
interposition of heaven that he es-
capped alive some years ago.
In 1860 Stewart was driving his own
wagon, heaped with his law library,
from Bonneville to Carson. -Four
mules were drawing him at the rate
of eight miles an hour, and as he sped
through the sagebrush and sunshine
he dreamed of fees. The future SEN
ator ratified down through the Henness
pass, crossed the Truckee at Hunters,
few miles west of Reno, and was
rolling along toward Steamboat
Springs when he noticed an Indian
armed with rifle In the road ahead of
him.
News got over the ground slowly in
those days, and Stewart had not heard
of the uprising of the reds or received
tidings of the Ormsby defeat, in which
nearly a hundred whites had fallen.
So when the Piute in his path raised
his hand Stewart pulled up his mules
and readily consented to give the saw
age ride on the seat beside him. The
Indian held his rifle upright before him
and talked eheerfully.
The conversation was progressing
amicably when another Indian came
into view. He was on top of big
rock 200 yards ahead. and he also held
a rifle. The two red men exchanged
signals, and there was something il
their manner of doing it that awokt
