The amusing story from France about

has caused a revival in army circles Of

German army. Lieutenant Clarke was
one OF the finest cavarly officers In the
American service, but II happened that

Emperor just af.er an American officer,

thrown from his horse with the Kaiser
looking on. OF course the German Of
fiCers loked fun at every American Off
Ger who came along for awhile after
that and Lieutenant Clarke was not
spared. While the maneuvers were at
their height. the Kaiser wanted TO issue
an order to a general who was separ-
ated from him by a wide ravine or
ditch. He delivered the order TO an
aide and the latter galloped away to
make a detour around the ditch. Lieu
tenant Clarke got permission to deliver
the same order but instead OF trying to
flank the ravine. he Spurred his horse

compromise, concession and adjust
ment
Take for instance the free raw mater

have handed out the straight tip that
certain things in this direction must be
conceded or he will be unable to give his

minimum in this direction is said to be:
The corporation tax. which may be re-

Of them:
"HGw's a conference report based on

low rate on lumber will cost ii the
lumber vote; the low duty on coal will
make the West Virginia Senators dis

There are some Republican advo-

could get the reductions they want in

and the manufacturing East would

THE COUNTY FAIR.

That the old order changes, that the
simple life gives way to sopsistication,
and that in the onward march Of
science the rural community profits
by the marvels of mans invention, as
well as the cities, are strikingly ex-
emplified at the modern county fair.
These fairs are no longer expositions
of fine animals that are happy acci.
dents of natural development, or fruits
and flowers that by casual fruition"
have attained extraordinary size or
beauty. Nowadays successful farm
ing is as much a matter of exact cal
culation and accurate knowledge as is
any form of manufacturing or non-ag-
ricultural industry Steam and cleo
tricity perform the work of many day
laborers. Proper sanitary conditions
forestall the risk of bovine tubercu-
losis. The butter churn is no longer
wearisomely operated by hand, and
horses are enfranchised from the
treadmill of the thrashing machine.

dweller into closer contact with all

and 2,196 pounds of winter wheat per
desriatine cd acres in 1908, against
1892 and 1886 pounds respectively
raised by the peasants who adhere to
their old and crude methods. There
ought to be a good field for the sale
of farm implements in Russia with
showings of this kind to strengthen
the arguments of agents.

The people of this country want the
Cuban republic to. be as peaceful, as

Any Cuban who believes that there
exists in the United States any public
sentiment in favor of the annexation
of Cuba must be victim of his own
fears and suspicious, says the Bos-
ton Advertiser. The only people who
are working for the annexation of
Cuba are those unworthy Cubans who
are fomenting trouble within the re-
public and who would like to raise a
revolution or such disorder as to per-
suade Americans that the Cuban gov
eminent is unstable.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID.

Autumnal typhoid still has way Of
appearing at customary seasons in
well nigh every region of the country.
The health authorities in New York
find it this year rather worse than
usual, 1t appears in the dwellings of
the well-to-do as freely as in the
shacks of the poor. Sanitation does
not prevent it, that is, not what we
generally call sanitation. 1t is an in
testinal disease, conveyed by drink
or food. The old theories Of bad air,
sewer gas and damp houses have not
now much standing. 1t is feared
that some of the later theories do not
explain all the points about autumn
typhoid. The housefly does not. The
condition of the water supply, as be-
ing different in summer and winter,
does not. A plausible explanation is
that the profuse perspiration with
which in summer the body eliminates
a large amount of disease breeding
matter, is reduced to minimum al
most instantly when the cool days
begin. The kidneys and bowels, I'M
accustomed to the task, are burdened
with dangerous materials and unable
to perform the task of elimination. 1t
is at least common knowledge that
typhoid is most prevalent when the
cool weather sets in.
