WASHINGTON, D. c., April Is.
My friend from Venezuela was in
today and handed me some choice
gossip about Castro, the asphalt
trust and revolutions. Perhaps you
will be interested.
He says it was a put up job on
Castro-at least SO far as the surg
ical business went. OF course, Cas-
tro was sick. He has been so fol
quite while. But there was col
fusion between the doctors who at
tended him in Venezuela and Ger
tain parties who desired to get Gas
tro out of Venezuela. They per
sauded him that he had a cancer
In fact, it is was a simple tumor
They persuaded him that the only
surgical hope was in Germany. In
fact, it was an operation that any
good surgeon would have under
taken without a moments hesita
ton.
But Castro fell for it. And now
you see the game. The doors
opened outward only.
But here Is the choicest joke
You remember the asphalt trust
got a settlement of claims from
Gomez. The court case was com
promised. and an arrangement
made for use of the Venezuela
pitch lakes. The price was $4,000
year, That is what the trust is
to pay as rent for use of the
asphalt lake.
Now here Is the funny thing. II
seems that the other asphalt CROWD

Now, in the autumn of his life
he has money, also indigestion
Also again he has a physician in
Vienna.
Albert Pulitzer had a longing fol

DENVER, April 21.-"Be pecu-
liar. Encourage freakishness!
I'm this country every man has
to live after the manners of the
majority. In the old countries men
are encouraged to follow their own
ideas. There are hardly any pecu-
liar men in America. There are
loads of them abroad.
One of the most valuable acquis-

These are some of the assertions
that are being made to mothers and
educators throughout Colorado by
Menanchton F. Libby, Ph.D., pro.
fessor of philosophy and chairman
of the high school committee in the
University of Colorado.
Professor Libby is a keen stu

the crying needs of the age is indi-

the old fashioned nondescript turkeys
which were once SO common. They
are small, no more prolific than pure
breeds and one could feel no pride in
them. Pure-bred stock of any kind
pays from many standpoints. No man
can do the justice to an animal which
does no credit to his care that he
does to one bred along strict lines
which assure beauty and utility, be-
cause their ancestors on both sides
were bred and reared for these same
results
Turkey eggs usually hatch well A
turkey hen is tractable enough during
the nesting season if you know how
to coax her, but when the baby birds
are hatched she seems to lose her
senses. She should be caught care
fully while on the nest and the poults
secured. They will attempt to hide.
and it is often difficult to find them.
No hard-and-fast rules for feeding
young turkeys can be depended upon,
but don't feed too much.
The turkey crop is very valuable.
as SO much is clear profit. The young
er hen turkeys with less than month
of heavy feed are fat and toothsome
at Thanksgiving, while the toms may
be disposed of at Christmas to good
advantage, having required more time
and food to round out their larger
frames. After the first six weeks the
focks will care for themselves, though
it is wise to see them every day to
coax them home to roost and to keep
them tame and accustomed to their
caretaker's voice. A light feed of
soaked bread or sour milk curd every
day accomplishes these results easily.
RI clear call, never used except for
the turks, is used as signal to them.
it is not often hard to find them.

Chicago. The mention OF a little
brown-eyed girl who was asleep. the
mothers appeal not to awaken and
frighten the child, softened the heart
OF a masked and armed burglar who
had invaded the home Of Alolph HUI

Mr.. and Mrs. Huber at the point OK

taking the mcuey.
Little Marie Huber. years old, lay
sleeping In a dark room off the kit
chen and her parents were asleep In
another apartment. The burglar
forced open window In the first
floor and crawled into the child's
room.
The burglar prowled about the
room for a time, but did not see the
little girl tucked in bed. and he pro-
ceeded into the room occupied by the
mother and father. The opening of
the door of the childs room awak-
ened Mrs. Huber, and she was sit
ting up in bed when the intruder tip
toed into her room. At sight of the
man with the glittering revolver In
his hand she screamed.

LARGE PROFIT IN TURKEYS

Much That Is Clear Profit

While it is not probable that any
successful breeder is ever quite salts
fed with his stock, 1t is usually true
that he regards his own breeds as the
best An experience Of II years In
breeding has convinced me that Slate
turkeys are the most interesting as
well as well as the most profitable
for me, writes correspondent Of the
Ohio Farmer. The spring-hatched
toms attain weight of % to 25
pounds alive at Christmas time, and
the dressed carcass, when fat and In
good condition, is goodly sight.
While they do not attain the weight
common to Bronze turkeys they are
large enough for most markets.

Importance Of Small Fruits.

The small fruits play very impor-
tant part In the economy of the house
hold, inasmuch as they come at a time
when there is a scarcity Of other fruits
and oftentimes Of vegetables ais well.
So 1t is very important that every
farmer, especially. should set apart
a plot Of ground sufficiently large to
be capable of producing all the small
fruits that the family can possibly
consume during the year. The size of
the plot will depend somewhat upon
