END OF PET DEVASTATION.
New Yorker Finally Rid Of the Dis
:, pissed High Hat.

There is certain man in New York
whose pet detestation is a high hat
In his journey through life he has &C
CURED many dislikes, some prejudices,
and few hatreds-but his feeling
toward high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred"
However, family influences were
brought to bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone in his
lie, and these influences were so
strong and insistent that eventually
the man in question purchased a high
hat; what is more, he actually
donned it,. ....a'. s,;
Hut his hatred abated not jot. In
fact, 1t grew. He used to open his
fatbox and eye the hat viciously, MUIR
derously. But thoughts OF what the
family would say if he should adopt
Violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the box again,
leaving the. thing unframed, and
vented his rage in profanity.
Once he and his family went to
live at hotel in the country. And
one night, with appalling suddenness,
that hotel caught fire. y 81, ,,.... , '
fortunately, everybody in 1T was
able to get out In safety. The. young
man Of the hat, after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out Of
danger, decided to dash into the burn
ing building once more-there was
still bit of time-in order to see.
whether he might rescue a few more
things from his room. In the excite
ment attendant on the discovery of
the fire the hotel guests had been
Obliged to look to their personal safe
ty, without thinking overmuch of that
OF their belongings. ...'... .'....
Well, the young man, plunging gal
lantly through flame and smoke,
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
high hat.
With look of diabolical glee he re-
garded 1t for few seconds. Then
with all exclamation Of delight-he
kicked 1t into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy
Ing smoke, far from all possible
means of escape.
Then, diabolical glee still illumining
his features, he emerged happy
man. =" I..a.

HAS A UNIQUE INDUSTRY

Cambridge City. Ind, April 29.-Mrs.
w. X. Roth, one of the progressive wo-
men OF the town, has been making
quite an industry Of the rearing OF
fine pigeons. especially of the homing
pigeons, at her home in the east part
OF the town. She has between three
and four hundred birds. These pre-
sent a very pretty sight. ranging in
color from the dark slate, through the
iridescent coloring. to the gray and
white. Among the varieties she has
the fan-tails, the carrier and the Car
neau-which variety was brought into
this country, but three years ago, from
France. The birds live in pens or
houses, twelve by fourteen feet. with a
range of park eighteen by twenty feet.
Forty pairs OF the pigeons occupy each
house. Wheat. Kaffir corn and mil
let form the diet of these aristocrats,
and they consume about two-thirds of
a peck of the grain per day. Ship
ments are made to Pittsburg, every
two weeks.

CROP OF OATS AND OTHER
KINDS OF CEREALS.

Spokane, Wash, April 29-Reports
from the grain belts in eastern Wash.
ington and Oregon, northern and CEN
trail Idaho and western Montana, com.
piled by the Spokane chamber of com.
merce, show that the wheat yield IN
the Inland Empire, will be near the
SO,OOO,G0O bushel mark this season, as
against 65,0OO,OOO bushels in 1907, the
banner year in the history of the dis
trict. Conditions are also favorable
for bumper crops of oats and other GER
calls, as frequent light rains this sprig
have kept the ground moist and free
from cracking. ~
The acreage of winter wheat is as
large as it has ever been, while there
will be an increase of from II to j.
per cent in springsown grain. What
this means to the farmers Of this part
of the Northwest will be better under
stood when it is known that 5O-cent
wheat is profitable, 65-cent grain
yields big returns, while from 75-cent
to 81 wheat becomes the basis of for
tunes.
A Big Yield.
More than 100000 acres of land in
thirteen counties in eastern Washing
ton, which yielded 4O,675.O0 bushels
OF wheat in 1907, is under cultivation
this season and local bankers and mil
lers returning from trips into the Big
Bend, the Palouse and the Walla Wal
la belts, say the outlook is better than
ever, adding that good rain in May
or early in June will insure the ban
ner crop in the history of the district.
They report that the ground is we'll
thus conserving the moist
ure, and that the growing wheat is in
excellent condition.
Farmers throughout the country be-
lieve that prices this year will be high

Ruling Which Affects

CONCERNS "FACTORY LAW
COURT RULES THAT THE MANU-.

CLASSES OF MACHINERY NAM
ED IN STATUTE.
Especial Correspondent

indianapolis, April 29.-The su.
preme court, yesterday afternoon,
handed down decision that is OF ex-
IRENE importance to manufacturers
and owners of factories in which ma
chinery is used. 1t affected what is
commonly known as the Factory
law" This law says that all pans,
watts, saws, planners and few other
kinds of machinery dangerous in their
character. in a factory shall be en-
closed by guards constructed by the
owner This was done in order that
in the trial Of damage suits for per-
sonal injuries the manufacturer might
show that he had taken the necessary
legal precautions when he guarded
the dangerous machinery. and thus
escape the payment OF damages il an
employe was hurt,
Up to this time the holding of the
courts has been that the law did not
require the owner to guard other ma
chinery besides those kinds named
specifically in the law. This. of
course, made 1t difficult for a plain
tiff to recover damages on the
grounds of negligence on the part Of
the owner of the machinery.
Must Guard Machinery.
In the case decided yesterday, how
ever, Judge Hadley. of the supreme
court, holds that it is compulsory I'M
