The fall of man never seems to hit

Nobody can deny that curly headed

There's nobody can give so much adj

William Bin sulzer

The reports from New York that Will
liam "Bilr Sulzer is to be disciplined by
Boss Murphy, of Tammany hail. for his
refusal to bolt the Democratic party in
the recent rules fight in the house amuses
Mr.. Sulzer. He lopines that Boss Muir
ply and Tammany need Sulzer just about
as bad-and maybe a little worse-than
Sulzer needs Boss Murphy and Tam
many.
Bill Sulzergis probably the most pic
turesque character in congress. He is an
organized Democrat, first, and a Tam
many man second. He is an Indian all
the time, and woe be unto the man or men
who try to run rough shod over William
Bill. He is red-headed and a fighter.
When the rules fight had reached a
white heat in it's preliminary stages and
the machine Republicans were making
a raid upon the Democratic party for
votes, William Bill smelled mouse
when he received a summons to the long
distance telephone He surmised--and his
surmise proved correct-that Boss Muir
ply. of Tammany, wanted to tell him
how to vote. William Bill happened to
know how he wanted to vote on this
particular proposition, and he needed no
advice, but what was the use arguing
the matter OF Murphy. He didn't. He
just declined to talk with him over the
phone. and then he voted straight with
his party all the time.

BURBANK's MARVELLOUS PLANTS


Luther Burbank, the wizard of
the world Of vegetation, is peculiar
man, and he has kept himself out
of the limelight as much a. possible.
But he has finally consented to
give the outside world a view of
what he has been doing, and &C
cording to a dispatch to the New
York World from Santa Rosa, he
VIII place his marvellous fruits and
flowers on exhibition in a hall in
that place in the near future.
Among the new varieties he has
produced are the primus berry, a
union OF the raspberry and the
blackberry; the first recorded In
stance of a new species, the phenom-
email berry, a combination Of the
California dewberry and the Cuth-
bert raspberry; a walnut bred with
no tannin in its meat; gladioli of
greatly enhanced beauty taught to
bloom around their entire stem like
a hyacinth instead of the old way,
on one side; a dahlia with it's dis
agreeable odor driven out and in its
place the odor OF a marigold; a
lily with the fragrance of a violet
and a seentless verbena given the
intensified fragrance Of the trailing
arbutus
he will show fruit trees which
..-f11 rx-ffhuforH Fraazfnz In hnd and
flowers; an amaryllis bred from three
or four inches to nearly a foot In
diameter; a gumberry almost like
a tat, luscious blueberry, which can
be grown in all climates; blackber>
ries without tnorns; an everlasting
flower which may be used for deco
ration OF women-s hats; improved
varieties OF thousands of grasses
and improved towering tobacco.
Burbank has changed the chest
nut in marked degree. Originally
IL bore nuts in ten to twenty-five
years. He has made it bear nuts
six months after planting the seed.
In the creation of big trees Bur
bank has achieved wonders. Here
Is an instance: A common Califor-
MIA black walnut and an English
walnut were crossed by fertilization
and seedlings raised from these.
Inc best OF the progeny were select
ea and bred forward, always select
ing those which approached nearest
10 BuToank's ideal, until at last he
had a set of hybrid, rapid-growing
seedlings
Half a dozen trees were set out in
the hard earth at the curb in front
of the Burbank place, were given no
cultivation and no irrigation. In
seventeen years these trees stood
more than eighty feet in height,
their branch spread being fully
seventy-five feet, their trunks being
six feet thick at the height OF a
mans head, the wood Of fine grain,
taking a splendid polish and with a
big commercial value for furniture.
Burbank has estimated that a sin
gle kernel Of grain added to each
sheaf OF wheat grown would be suf-
flcient TO support the navy of a
civilized country. 1t is well known
that he has done more than this;
ne mas in most of his products gen.
eraIIy doubled their production. In
this connection what makes his
cactus immensely valuable to the
stockman is that it can be grown,
ana need not be used for fodder for
two OF three years, and when cut
IS just as good as ever.

Talking Postcards

Talking postcards have been spoken of fol

accomplished fact in Europe, though they are
hardly likely TO come within reach of the mil
lion just yet. Happily they have not reached
such perfection that coming down In the

Spoke Right Out.

Another popularity of William Bill is
that he speaks out in meeting. He is not
at all secretive or stingy with his infor-
nation. He knows a spade when he sees
one, and he never hesitates to call it by
it's proper name. Which probably ac-
counts for the frankness with which
William Bill spoke out in meeting. He
said several plain things about his col
leagues from New York who bolted then
he said some palmer things to the boilers
themselves; also he said something to
the public and he continues to say things
that do not ring pleasantly upon the ears
of Boss Murphy and other gentlemen.
All of which explains sundry stories ia
the New York papers declaring that Will
liam Bill is to be disciplined by Tam
many.
Yes" said William Bill. 81 see by the
papers that l am to be disciplined for
my loyalty. 1t is to laugh. I'll be pres
ent at the disciplining. and there may be
some fun. The people are not ignoram-
uses, you know, and the people who I'M
derstand the situation indorse the atti-
tude of Cramp Clark and the loyal DEM
ocrats who followed him in the fight.

FARMER BETS $4,000
ON HIS CROP OF OATS
Especial to The Sentinel. ]


Laramie, Wyo., March 30.-Col.
E. J. Bell, manager of the Millbrook
Land and Cattle company, and vice
president of the Wyoming Wool
Growers association, left yesterday
for Litchfield, Alberta. Canada,
where he goes to complete arrange
ments for the deciding of a unique
wager. At the meeting of the Dry
Farming association at Cheyenne,
Colonel Bell stated that he would
wager $4,000 with any one that he
can raise better and heavier yields
of oats upon his Millbrook ranch
upon the Laramie plains than can be
raised anywhere else in the world.
The bet of $4,000 is to be taken
up by a syndicate of farmers near
Litchfield or by the board of trade
of that town.
Colonel Bell asserts that he is GER
tain of winning the bet, and that he
has already put up the money. He
says that he has raised as high as
1877 bushels of oats upon a patch of
ground over 100 acres in extent, and
that the greatest yield he has ever
heard of elsewhere, upon ground of
any extent, was a yield of 119 bush
els, made in Utah. Colonel Bell
points to the fact that he took the
gold medal at the st. Louis Worlds
fair for oats, in competition with the
whole world.
