Any horseman will tell you that this is gilt

the inbred George Wilkes strain is the best
type of the American race horse. Ambrette's
dam traces back to Robert McGregor and other
good ones There is nothing the matter with
John Wards family, whether as concerns aris-
tocracy or performance.
He was the fastest five year old stallion on
the tracks in 1908, on the grand circuit, mind
you. They have to go to get the money along
the big line and this fellow surely did that.
He has had two seasons in the stud and has II

a superbly formed animal, has cheerful dispo-
sition, stands 1872, weighs 1915 and is an ideal

at The Pastures, Belfast, where he was brought
last winter, and is trained by M. R. Nevans.

GRANT UNDER FIRE.
r. H. MOODY

For the information of those who have
never been in battle, let me say, without
seeming didatic, that the commanding
general or his corps commanders are
rarely where the artists have depicted
them, on rearing horses leading or di-
recting amid sheet of fire. There are
times. however, when the artist is true
to life, as when Sheridan seeing Ayres
and his Regulars recoiling for moment
under terrific fire at Five Forks dashed
in, and there and then with those flashing
eyes he might have been painted; Warren
that same day seized the colors on another
part Of the field, and led on. But, as
rule, the corps commander chooses po-
sition where he can see all the field and
his troops as they engage. The test of
his genius is in choosing the critical mo-
ment when he will join them. Suppose
Mcclellan had shown himself and ridden
his lines at Gaines's Mill, or Bragg at
Chickamauga, the outcome might have
been different. Owing to the character
of the Wilderness, Grant had few oppor
tunities of that kind. At Spottsylvania,
the night Upton was making his assault
and breaking their lines temporarily, he
was close up, and l sat my horse not far
from him. He was mounted on Egypt,
there were two or three lines of battle
within thirty or forty PAGES of each other
and of him. The fire that reached US
was considerable; an orderly carrying
the headquarter standard was killed and
solid shot struck an oak five or six
inches through squarely, not thirty feet
from US, shivering it into broom slivers;
but through it all Grant wore the same
imperturbable but somewhat pleading
face. Morris Schaff, in the November

The Agricultural Awakening.

A wave of awakening is sweeping over New
England and the farms that have been so long
abandoned are being bought and before many
years have passed will be put into an excellent
state of cultivation.
And one of the curious things about this
movement is the fact that educated men are at
the foot of it. Education is most broadening
in its influence and teaches men how to get the
most out of life. These men are beginning to
realize the opportunities offered by the farm.
Almost every profession is overcrowded but
the same is far from being true in regard to
the farm. The farms of this country barely
raise enough for home consumption when they
are capable of raising sufficient supplies for all
the world.
Then, too, there is no one so independent as
the farmer. He can get more out of life than
any other man. The more you educate the
farmers the better contented they become
with their lot and the more intelligently they
work their farms.
This wave bids fair to be as great as was the
movement into the west and there will be no
surging back. The man who buys farm today
and puts his energy upon it will reap plenti-
full harvest within very short time.
And the young men of New England have as
great if not greater, opportunities right here
in the East than they have in the West.-The
Old York Transcript

PROFITABLE POULTRY.
The Records of Some Kansas Hens.

The heavy laying capacity and large
profit in hens is much debated question.
The poultry department of the Kansas
State agricultural college keeps close tab
on the cost of feeding and the number of
eggs produced by each hen. Two pens
of pullets were selected with the idea of
heavy egg production. One of these
contains White Leghorns and the other
White Plymouth Rocks These two pens
were selected from the young stock rails
ed in 1908, and no one had the least
knowledge as to the breeding of the par
ents, their originality, or their egg
records. Some months ago statement
was given out concerning the egg pro-
duction of White Plymouth Rock pullet,
No. 129. This fowl laid forty-eight eggs
in succession without missing day. This
same hen produced TIA eggs between
February l and October l, and is still
laying. No. 129 has a companion, No.
1876, which has laid 1S1 eggs in the same
length of time, and still keeps it up. This
is at the rate of three-fourths of an egg
a day, or 270 a year. Both Of these hens
are molting and laying at the same time.
In this same pen are nine other hens
that in the last eight months have put
into the egg basket, 1,499 eggs, or an
average of more than 1876 eggs each. The
total cost of feed, with grain at the pre-
vailing high prices, was 1881 or approx
mately ten cents month for each fowl.
The eggs brought S25 Sc, leaving profit
over the cost of feed of $17. 75 or ST. 81 a
hen for the eight months. In the pen of
nineteen White Leghorns there is not
found as high an Individual record, 172
eggs being the highest, but the average
is greater, 152 eggs each. The total
value of the eggs..was S34. 45. The cost OF
feeding was $14.75 or little more than
nine cents a fowl month. The total
profit over feed was S35. SO, or $1.87 a
hen. -Atchison, Kansas, Globe.

HEADACHES AND
DIZZY SPELLS
Were Caused by a BLoodless
Condition In This Vermont
Girls Case.

An@mia is simply lack of blood.
1t is one of the most common and dan
gerous diseases with which growing
girls suffer.
1t is common because the blood SO
often becomes impoverished during de-
velopment, when girls are too frequently
allowed to overstudy, overwork and
suffer from lack of exercise. It is dan.
gerous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being we'll developed
before its presence is recognized, and
because OF its tendency to grow so steadi-
ly worse, it not promptly checked, that it
may run into consumption.
Miss Julia V. Monahan, of No. 161
Granger street, Rutland, VT, took DR.,
Williams Pink Pills in the early stages
OF anemia and was undoubtedly saved
from long sickness. She says:
SIN the fall of 1906 I was very much
run down from overstudy. The doctor
said had anemia but his medicine did
not not seem to help me. l was pale
and became very thin. l had headaches
every few days which made me feel sick
all over. My appetite was poor and
what I ate didn't seem to agree with
me. Occasionally I had dizzy spells
and was confined to the bed for two
weeks.
"a cousin, who had been benefited by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, advised me to
give them a trial. I did SO and had
taken them only short time when I
began to have some color in my face.
The headaches left me as l continued
with the pills and have been well ever
since. I hope that other girls who are
suffering as 1 did, will take DR. Will.
liams' Pink Pills.
The treatment Of anamia with DR..
Williams Pink Pills is as certain as
anything in medical science. They act
directly on the blood, which they purify
and build up to its normal strength.
They have also cured rheumatism,
after-effects of the grip and fevers,
stomach trouble, nervous breakdown,
sick headaches, St. Vitus' dance and
neuralgia. A booklet, Diseases of the
Blood will be sent free to any sufferer
from anamia upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are for sale
byall druggists, or will be sent postpaid,
on receipt of price, SO cents per box;
six boxes for So. SO, by the DR.. Williams

Tammany's Defeat.

New YORK, November 8. Battle-scar.
red Tammany, which yesterday elected a
mayor but lost a city, took up today the
gloomy work of setting its house in order
for four years of avowed nti-Tammany
government in New York city. Analysis
shows that the election, which resulted
in the defeat by the Fusion forces of
every important Tammany Democratic
candidate below the mayor, was more of
a victory for the anti-Tammany Demo-
Gratis who had lined up with the Republi-
cans under the Fusion banner than for
the straight out Republicans. Anti-Tam-
many Democrats, elected on the Repub-
lican Fusion ticket, will for four years be
in absolute control of the city's finances.
They will have clear majority in the
board of estimate, one of the most power
full municipal bodies in any city in the
world, and will thereby have the disburse-
ment of more than billion dollars of the
city's money.

The Ballad of the Saint.

The Little Cherubs whispered
"What strange. new soul is this
Who cometh with robe besmirched
Unto the Place of Bliss"
Then spoke the Elder Angel,
1.-The robe he wears is fair
The cropping fingers of the poor
Have held and blessed him there"
The Little Cherubs whispered,
"Who comes to be our guest
With dust about his garments hem
And stains upon his breast?"
Then spoke the Elder Angel,
"Most lovely is the stain
The tears Of those he comforted,
Who may not weep again."
The Little Cherubs whispered,
"What strange, new soul is he
Who cometh with burden here
And bears it tenderly?"
Then spake the Elder Angel,
"He bears his life's award
The burden of mems broken hearts
To place before the Lord.
1.-THE dust upon his garments hem
My lips shall bow to it;
The stains upon the breast of him
Are gems thrice exquisite.
Oh, little foolish Cherubs,
What truth is this We miss?-
There comes no saint to Paradise
Who does not come like this"
