THE GATE WHEN CLOSED.

It may be filed with gravel. etc., until
the gate is slightly the heavier and so
that slight pull will cause it to fold
back in place.
1t may be necessary where unruly
stock is kept to set two posts for the
gate to shut between, in order to keep
them from pushing through. The post
for the weight may be bolted to two
ordinary fenceposts, or they may be
full length, but in either case they
should be set well into the ground.

The Transcript says, we do not
know whether officially or not, that a
democrat would stand small chance
of getting the postoffice, even if no
secured q majority of votes. Which
means, that what MI. Lindbergh says
about a peoples choice is bug dust. -
We don't believe Mr.. Lindbergh
desires to be put in that position. He
said in his speech to the republican
county convention and has said many
times since, that after a congressman
is elected he should no longer be a
party man, but representative of all
the people. Mr.. Lindbergh has not
said he intends to confine the ballot
ting to republicans, and If democrats
are good enough to vote for post
master they should be good enough
to be candidates if they feel like it.
As to the reasons which may animate
any democrat who cares to get into
the race, we can tell what they are.

SAVED BY A Sn HAT
AWtuI Experience Of Victim Of
Striking Steel Workers.
INTO CASTING PIT.

Hot Metal About to Be Poured Upon
Him When Falling Headeear of
Spectator Revealed His Fearful Plight
and Caused His Rescue.
Erwin Nelson in the Chicago Tribune
tells a thrilling story of narrow escape
from an awful death at the hands of
striking Slav workmen in a Pennsylva-
MIA steel plant. Mr.. Nelson was con-
nected in a travelling capacity with the
company which operated the steel plant
and had arrived at the forge on a tour
Of inspection during Il strike Of the
Slav and Hungarian steel workers.
':On the evening of the second day
Of my VISIT" he says, Il had occasion
to traverse that part Of the forge shops
proper in which was located what tech
nically is known as the casting pitt
One Of the processes employed by this
company consisted of pouring the
white hot metal from huge ladies' into
a gigantic mold directly underneath.
The mold thereupon was moved be-
meath a hydraulic press and subjected
to enormous pressure until thoroughly
solidified.

mold when I suddenly was seized by
two powerful arms and promptly gag
ged. This seizure it afterward tran
spired was caused by my strong resem-

The most striking thing about the
great marine disaster, great In loss of
property, fortunately small in loss of
life, was the triumph of science
manifested IN the wireless telegraph.
Marconi's fame IS immortal, and the
fact that the wireless telegraph on the
Republic was the salvation Of
hundreds of lives, shows that his fame
rests on a secure and enduring basis.
There IS too many something uncanny
about the wireless telegraph, the un-
seen electrical impulses reaching out
in all directions to find a resting place
where they may deliver their burden.
Many inventions increase the material
welfare and comfort of the world, but
few also preserve life. Wireless tele-
graph, the submarine bell, and the
various life-sa saving inventions of recent
years, entitle their benefactors to be
numbered among the benfactors of
mankind.

A PECULIAR VERDICT.

"a 1IOOA1An VHOO1Cx.
In Oakland, Maryland. there is
a judge who possesses an unusual
amount of hard, common sense. He
recently had a man before him who
was found guilty of manslaughter
instead of sentencing the man to
long term in prison, he paroled him
on condition that he contribute twenty
dollars each month OF the support of
the wife of the man whom he had
killed. He was compelled to give one
thousand dollars bond and to report
to the court at each session. The men
were related, but became involved in
q quarrel that led to serious con-
sequences.
In the sentence imposed by this
Judge there is considerable food for
thought. He realized that, if he
sentenced the man to the penitentlary,
he would he making a bad mess of
affairs still worse, and that the wife
would receive no reccompense what
ever. Hence the foregoing Solomon
like wisdom. This age, notwlthstand-
ing its wisdom and culture, needs a
lawmaker like Solomon, of ancient
Athens, to revise its laws.-Prison

Method For curino Hams.


The following method Of curing
hams and bacon has been used in
Missouri family for many years: For
an eighteen or twenty pound ham
mix dessertspoonfu Of saltpeter with
one fourth or one third pound of
brown sugar and rub well into the
flesh side Of the ham. Pack in tubs or
boxes and cover the flesh side we'll
with fine salt Allow the meat to re-
main in the boxes from four to six
weeks. Small hams or pieces may be
removed in four weeks time. Lift
out and rub all salt off and cover well
with good ground black pepper. Be
sure to put plenty Of pepper around
the bone. Let hang for two or three
days. to dry and smoke for six or
eight weeks. You will not only have
very fine favored meat, but it will not
have to be bagged. To make Missfs-
sippi sausage take eight pounds of
lean tenderloin, five pounds Of back
bone fat, four teaspoonfuls Of black
peppers, two teaspoonfuls Of salt. one
teaspoonful Of cayenne pepper, seven
teaspoonfuls Of sage Grind twice and
mix well.

The gate should be braced both ways
