Permit me-" he continued, "to call
your attention to this edible. and
may say delicious, nut When I say
that five cents worth of peanuts will
afford to you and your children as
much nourishmer1t as pound OF beef
am but stating fact which science
has demonstrated. Will you, then,
continue to encourage those who lead
the innocent bovine to the shambles,
who wantonly STAY for their own ag-
grandiZement, who shamelessly foster
taste for blood, and who demand
an outrageous profit at our expense?
Give back the pound, or, should say
two pounds, of flesh that this man
would thrust upon you, AMI take to
your dear ones two bags of peanuts
such as hold in my hand. You shall
not permit this man to press a crown
of thorns upon your brow. You have
it in your power to circumVent the
soulless corporation of which this per-
son is the hired creature"
He would have said more, but the
hired creature laid down his knife,
walked around chopping block and,
grasping Addison Spriggs in the two
most convenient places, helped him
to leap from where he stood to the
middle of the sidewalk. There his
feet slipped in such an unfortunate
way as to make it impossible for him
to avoid falling upon his back in the
unattractive gutter. Owing to the
fact that his peanuts were scattered
when he went down he found when he
succeeded in getting upon his feet
again that he lacked materials for
making further demonstrations;
wherefore he returned to his Office
firm In the conviction that toiling
masses that insisted upon standing
around and waiting to be saved did
not deserve saving.

the keeper of cOWs must overcome the

is the time that the skillful dalrymen

GIVE THE TREES ROOM.

The temptation is always to plant
trees much closer than is best, With
the reservation that they can be
mined after a crop ortWo has been
produced. This is not often done.
however, because it takes too much
nerve to cut down good trees.
A Kansas grower gives his eNpe-
rience along this line He planted his
trees just as close as he intended his
trees to stand, intending
to cut at least half Of them when they
began to crowd. and resolved that he
would cut them after h next crop;
just one more crop and half Of the
trees would be removed.
The next year the trees did not
bear at an and he still waited to gath
er another crop. The next year the
crop was fairly good and after he
had gathered it the orchardist thought
he would surely cut out some Of the
trees, for by this time they We're get
ting very thick. However, when he
looked at the thrifty appearing trees
| his heart failed him and the cutting
was not done
The next year, knowing hat the
orchard had already been injured, the
orchardist was not willing to risk the
temptation of looking at his trees;
instead he sharpened the AK, gave in
structions to the hired man to cut out
certain trees. and then mounted his
horse and rode away, returning after

nerve to cut out these trees and few
persons possess it.

The explosion Of the dynamite Ioosens
