overwork the inner man, who is gener-
ally taxed to the uttermost on feast
days. First, there was an appetizing
combination of fruits served in orange
cups resting on a dolly made OF
holly leaves. The mixture consisted
of oranges. grape fruit, bananas,
grated pineapple. lemon juice and
sherry with sugar to sweeten. 1t was
chilled and seemed to be just the ap-
petizer necessary. Then came fried
oysters, old-fashioned cold slaw, hot
biscuit. potato chips. individual molds
of cranberry jelly, shrimp salad. toast
ed crackers, coffee, cheese. nuts and
white grapes. The salted nuts were
in little sled-shaped boxes and the
name cards were tied to small Christ

with bonbons wrapped in gilt paper.

Flowing and narrowing.

Several companies are now manu-
featuring what Is known as the '.har
row attachment" for plows. This a.
tachment is made to be used in con-
nection with the pow. usually Of the
sulky or gang type. BY its use the
ground is narrowed or pulverized as
fast as it. is piowed.
Every farmer knows that there is
no time when plowed ground will
pulverize better than Immediately
after it has Teen turned AT this
time there has been no chance for
moisture to escape, and ty harrow
ing at once. the ground is not only
better pulverized. but Is placed in a
condition to conserve the moisture
better.
BY using this harrow attachment
in connection with the plow. there
is no need Of going over the field
again to put the ground in condition
for the crop. The field is narrowed
as far as plowed at all times. Ordi-
narily less than one-half of the en-
ergy exerted by one horse is re-
rqnired to pull it.
This type OF harrow is made in ser.
eral different styles and widths. In
width 1t varies from about eighteen
inches for single plow to three feet
for gang plow. 1t should have
a lever adjustment SO that It an
be forced into the ground as deeply
rs desired. We have every reason
to believe that this attachment wtll
be much more generally used in the
near future. 1t Is certainly a tool
worth recommending. Its cost q

PUCS ARE IN TRAINING

STRENUOUS DAY,
Considerable Money II Being Wagered
With the Big Negro as Favorite-
Both are Conf
q dent

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Jack Jonn-
son and Stanley Ketchel, the princi-
pals in Saturdays fight for the heavy
weight championship, passed strenu
Gus day in their training camps E.
Neither needed any additional work.
but they worked hard for a moving
picture operator.
Ketchel has surprised the pugilistic
world by announcing that he will not
carry the fight to his opponent, as has
been his custom. He declares Johnson,
as the champion. must do the leading,
unless Johnson shows unexpected
weakness from the start. Johnson
manager asserts that his man will go
after Ketchel to score an early knock
out.
Betting on the match showed an in
crease today, but the odds remain at
10 to 4, with johnson on the long end.
Although no change in odds occurred,
1t Is believed at the pool rooms that
the flow of short-end money which be-
gan today, will soon cause shorten
ing of the price.
Considerable money Is being wagered
on the even proposition that Ketchel
will stay fifteen rounds against John-
son.
Johnson weighed today 1876 pounds
two pounds lighter than he expects
to be when he climbs through the ropes
Saturday. Ketchel remains at his an
nouneed weight of IT'S pounds. This
he declares to be his natural weigh t,
and the point at which he feels the
strongest
