Rcsourceful.

In certain church in Ireland a
young priest took for his text: The
Feeding of the Multitude" And he
said: "And they fed ten people with
10000 loaves and 10000 fishes" There
at an old Irishman said: That's no
miracle; begorra, l could do that N.Y.
SELF" which the priest overheard. The
next Sunday the priest announced the
same text, but he had it right this
time-"And they fed 10000 people on
ten loaves of bread and ten fishes"
He waited second, and then leaned
over the pulpit and said: And could
you do that, Mr.. Murphy" Murphy
replied: Sure, your reverence,
could" and how could you do it?"
said the priest. Sure, your rever-
ence, could do it with what was left
over from last Sunday. 1.-THE Argo-

The New Society Walk.

1t is sincerely hoped that the new
walk INDUCED in by several of the
younger members of the smart set
will not be generally adopted. 1t is
certainly neither a thing of beauty nor
a joy forever. In fact, it is distinctly
awkward, and its only interest can lie
in the idea that it attracts attention.
This it does, and, unfortunately, for
this reason, it is being copied by the
sensation mongers Frankly, it is the
exact gait of the Japanese geisha girl
Why, then, is it necessary for the
well-bred and supposedly refined
American girl and younger matron to
initiate women of this type? For, this
latest fad originated with one of the
acknowledged leaders of the inner
circle of the fashionable world, and is
being copied by her coterie, as well
as the hoi-polloi who delight in any
thing for novelty.

Just what 1t means for farmer boy
to go to college and get definite re-
suits out of it is being shown in the
work of the newer generation on west
ern farms. The result of training and
of broader ideas is seen in the meth
DDS of to-day as they take the place
of those of the early settlers who
were hampered by the need of expert
ment and trial before they learned
what was best to do and how to do It.
Not every boy seeks an education
with the idea of being farmer when
school is over, and when one does the
outcome is interesting. Such an ambi-
ton has animated one young man of
the western section and 1t has worked
ence is good example of what edu-
cation means on the farm.
'T always wished to be farmer-a
dairy farmer" was the way James r.
Carver put 1t, as he stood at the door
of the big barn on his fathers farm.
l spent my time trying to learn how
to be the best farmer possible"
1t was difficult to realize that this
frank-faced young man, clad in blue
overalls and a dark shirt with a wide
hat shading his bronzed face could
write "B. s., M. S." after his name
and that he had spent five years out
of the "a of his life in college halls.
He is master of a half section Of
fine bottom land equipped with build
ings and conveniences usually found
on modern farmers place.
But it was not up to his idea and
the changes that he has made and the
new ideas he has put into practice are
a good exhibit of what may be expect
ed in western farming in the future.
He had learned that grain is better
feed when ground and feed grinder
would carry the grain to storage
rooms above, where, if necessary, 12,-
900 bushels can be cared for, was
added.
IL do not propose to sell grain eX-
cept on foot; it's more profitable that
way" said he.
Pipes were laid carrying water 70
all parts of the farmyard and to the
house, where the conveniences of a
city water system are enjoyed as a
part of his modern plan. Great tanks
give the cattle and hogs plenty of
fresh water constantly and 1t requires
only the starting of the engine to set
all the machinery in motion.

BATS CAUSE BOARDERS' PANIC
Scare Dozen Girls, and One Bites
Only Male Boarder - Crowd
Watches the Combat.

Philadelphia.-A swarm of bats in
vaded the boarding house of Mrs.
John Bellam and threw IL girl board
ers into panic, several of them hav-
ing tainted before the bats were
driven off or killed. William Leyhe,
the only male boarder, in his fight
against the winged intruders, was
bitten on the hand, the bats teeth
sinking into the bone. He was treat
ed at the Pennsylvania hospital.
Miss Agnes New, who occupies the
third-foor front, was first to discover
the bats. They swarmed through her
window, Tapping their wings and ex-
tinguishing the gas. Screaming with
terror, the girl tried to reach the door,
but was unable to find it. Her cries
aroused the. other occupants, who
ran to her room and opened the door.
The bats burst through the opening
and flew in the faces of the other II
girls, who were gathered in the cor
ridor.
'The dozen girls shrieks aroused the
entire neighborhood. A crowd gath
cred about the house, while Leyhe,
who had come to the rescue, attempt
ed to fight off the intruders. He sue
ceeded in killing two and driving off
all the others but one particularly
ferocious animal, which darted about
him and finally succeeded in biting
him. Leyhe disregarded his wound,
and after a chase killed the animal.

wing tip to the other.

These are things that any farmer
can have" explained the young man
ager 1T makes the handling of stock
easy. 1t is especially easy and con-
venient for me-for | am dairy farm
er, remember"
To carry out this, the most impor.
tant of his ideas, required another
innovation, most interesting of all.
The big barn was divided into long
rows of stalls for the cows. Each
animal has a swinging iron neck hold
er that gives it ample liberty yet
keeps 1t in place.
In front of each row is an iron pipe,
air tight, leading to a vacuum tank in
the power room where are indicators
telling of the air pressure. The en-
CINE pumps the air out Of the tank
and so out of the pipes, leaving a sue
ton that is used to operate milking
machines, of which eight are installed.
These are of the ordinary type used
in the agricultural colleges and can
be operated by boy.
ut takes us about an hour to do the
milking of 80 cows" explained the
young man. I'VE shall have 40 cows
soon and it will take no longer then.
1t is not profitable to use the milking
machines with less than 40 cows, be-
cause of the expense of installation.
Something like $500 is invested in this
apparatus.
but it helps solve the hired man
problem. Few men like to milk. In
the foreign countries and in some
parts of this country where dairying
by hand has been the custom for
long series of years it is easy to get
mixers. The western hired man balks
at two or three hours of milking daily.
This makes it difficult to secure help
on the farm if attention is given TO
dairying With these machines it IS
different. Any hired man will manage
the machinery and likes it, for he is
relieved of the drudgery of the actual
work himself There will be easier
work managing this farm than ever
before and / expect to make more
money out of it, too"
Along with the change in the farms
methods have gone changes in the d.
vision of the crop-raising plans. In
stead of producing grain for selling,
the farm will now produce feed for
the cattle and hogs. Two hundred
head of swine are being cared for and
the income from these is not to be
despised.

HURTS THE MARRIAGE AGENT
Decision OF French Court Is Distinct
Blow to Long-Recognlzed
Institution.

Having successfully brought of
match, Partisan matrimonial agent
claimed his fee from the bridegroom,
which had been fixed beforehand at
500. But the customer. who had been
willing enough to promise, was more
than slack to fulfill and the agent
went to law. His suit, however, has
proved of no profit to him. The court
was virtuously shocked when it heard
the terms of the contract between
plaintiff and defendant and in high in
dignation declared it null and void on
the ground of immortality. "Foras-
much as the consequence Of such
contract must be to cause the go-be-
tween to drop all consideration of the
suitability of the projected union and
to envisage only the fulfillment Of the
condition upon which the payment of
his remuneration depended" In other
words, the agent does not care rap
whether the pair lead a cat-and-dog
life forever after, provided he touches
his feet. The argument is one which
must probably have occurred before
now to any one who patronized
matrimonial agency.
The decision of the court is finely
worded, but legal writer points out
that it is too general in its terms. 1t
might just as well apply to house
agent as to a matrimonial agent. Does
the man who finds you a fiat, so long
as he gets his fee, care any more how
you like it when you live in it than
the man who finds you wife cares
how you get on with her after the
wedding? Yet the court will compel
you to pay the man who found you
your fiat and dismiss the 500 claim
of the plaintiff who got defendant a
wife. The loss of the action is a seri-
Gus blow to matrimonial agents. They
will have in future to do business
only for a cash deposit with order
and must give up the cash-on-delivery
system which attracted customers.

get aboard with guns and started at
record speed for the scene.
In the meantime the operators along
the line, acting on orders, had got busy
with the telephones and alarmed the
whole countryside.
BY the time the special from Condo
pulled onto the siding at Cresbard a
band of country people had surround
ed the depot five deep, but no one
ventured within.
At the alarming situation presented
Mr.. Jones, fianked by picked braves of
the waiting rescuers, armed like bat
tleships, stealthily approached the
railway building. Peering cautiously
within, the body of the operator was
seen reclining at full length upon the
floor
No other person being visible, the
committee, after consultation, entered
and examined the PROSTATE man for
death wounds.
The operator rolled over and sleep
lily inquired if some one wouldn't give
him drink. He explained that his
whisky had run out. That was why he
wanted help. The next morning the
sobered operator wired his resignation
to the headquarters at Minneapolis.
The reply came while the wire was
open:
