The poultry business ought to be-

Saturday poultryman II. Bigelow had
six young fowls which weighed thirty
five pounds, and which he sold for
1715 cents per pound. Chickens less
than one year old at sl2.25 per dozen
ought to yield fair profit to the
man who will make business of
raising them, even though the matter
of eggs we're not taken into account

Nash of Columbia for killing deer

through information furnished by
Frank Plumm mmer, half breed. After
being sentenced Thompson told the
officer that Plummer was the last per-

Shortly before the ceremony the
prospective bridegroom called on Rev.
C. w. Wendte, Boston clergyman, to
give instructions.
81 have heard" said he, "that you
customarily omit the word obey from
the marriage service. Will you please
obI!ge me by inserting it tomorrow"
The clergyman promised to do so,
and when the crucial moment came he
said, "Wilt thou, Lucy, promise to love,
honor and obeyW
81 WILL" promptly replied the bride.
The minister went on, "Wilt thou,
Ralph promise to love, honor and
obeyT"
The bridegroom hesitated, stammer'
ed, gulped and responded, II will"

scene by desiring an amended ques-
ton, but later he reproached the minis

"But you asked me to use the word
obey" protested Mr.. Wendte, with a
twinkle in his eye, "How was l to
know that you wanted it for the lady

Wealth Of Rockefeller.

The trial of the Standard Oil cases
have served the purpose of throwing
some light on the wealth of John d.
Rockefeller. Current report, with the
natural tendency to exaggerate and
deal in large figures, has generally
taken a billion dollars as the amount
of his fortune. The testimony showed
that his holdings in Standard Oil were
all in the parent company, his only in
terest in the many subsidiary and al
lied corporations being through his
ownership of Standard stock, Of which
he holds about % per cent, at market
price worth 1856, 900, 900.
In discussing this disclosure men
best posted in the financial world give
1t as their opinion that his other hold
ings and property would scarcely equal
in value his Standard Oil stock and
probably bring the total up to about
$500, 600, 900. This falls far short of
the billion dollars with which he has
been peculiarly credited. Neither Mr..
hOCKeIelleT NOT any VI HIS iiiOhu0,
however, under this showing need
worry about where or how he is to Sc
cure a meal ticket.
A fortune of $500, 600, 900 is so vast
as to be beyond the power of compre-
hension when it is considered in the
light of the fact 1t has all been
amassed within the lifetime of it's pos
SCISSOR. Even the yearly income from
his holdings exceeds in amount the
greatest fortunes of a few decades ago.
Its potentiality in the affairs or the
world when in the possession of a man
shrewd enough to have accumulated
1t almost staggers contemplation. Lit
tie wonder the people stood behind
President Roosevelt in his hight against
conditions on which such a colossal
fortune may be built and support the
demand that equal opportunity be
given every nan to exercise the talents
which are his.

The Summer Capital.

President Taft has decided upon
Woodbury. Point, Beverly. Mass, as his
summer home, and the lawn at oyster
Bay will have a chance to recuperate
from the vigorous tramping of recent
years. when oficialdom and near off,
cialdom followed President Roosevelt
to his summer retreat. Aside from
being near the sea. Woodbury. Point
possesses the added advantage of a
irst-class golf course. In his choice
of a presidential recreation and a place
where It can be exercised Mr.. Taft has
shown wisdom. No one heretofore
has invented a plan which would keep
the insistent office hunter DR. politician
at a distance, but anyone who ever saw
a golf stick il action will not for a mo-
ment question its potency.
The fishing banks of Ruzzard's Bay,
the Garfield home at Mentor, the Nc
Kinley front porch at Canton and Har-
rison's residence al indianapolis were
freely invaded. Even Hayes was not
immune when he retired to the quiet
of the Soldiers home. where boarding
was economical. 1t will be a courage

Taft's avoirdupois.

quiet after a session of congress, but
it would caution him against the use
of any simplihed spelling when he
slices a drive or a golf ball is lost In a
chipmunk hole. Prim Massachusetts
might be shocked, and the state is so
small that strong language might be
heard to the utmost boundary.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Washington Post: The P~ittsburg min
lister who announced at the Easter serv-
ices that elderly women need not remove
their headgear is also a shrewd student
or human nature.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: A Cleveland
pastor is said to have declined a higher
salary. No use reporting II to the Car
negie Hero Fund commission, however.
for his name is withheld.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: There seems to
be no doubt that the most approved
method for a preacher to get into the
limelight at present is to set up a cry
against the women's styles. That's lots
better than springing advanced ideas on
marriage and divorce, such as was the
fashion last spring.
Christian Register: Unity" does not
unite. 1t is a deadening spiritual effort
as well as ending contention-that is
unity alone. A single church in a town
is valuable as a social gathering place.
and 1t may be utilized for the highest
moral purposing. There is still a great
weight of negativeness. The sects really
meant something definite and positive.
This halfway unity means nothing in
particular. Out of our daily life has
gone the meaning of primitive Chris
tianity, and Just as surely has departed
the call of the Puritan. We are not now
preparing for another world. The CAL
whistle God is as dead as the god of
Homer, and no amount of preaching, in
one church or in ten churches, can
awaken him. We need a church to help us
live, and not to help us die. We need a
church that shall teach us to love our
neighbors as ourselves in the violent
struggle of modern life.

Lesson for the Horseman.

The almost universal ban which has
been placed by law upon racetrack
gambling has been heralded far and
wide as sounding the death knell of
horseracing. There are some. how
ever, who do not concur in this view
and these are inaugurating a move
ment to demonstrate the truth of their
contention. Enlisted in the effort are
a number of the most conspicuous fig
ures of the old regime who have
fought the anti-gambling bills until
they met absolute defeat.
The men who are back of the move
base their hopes of success or the
opinion that the American public not
only loves the horse, but that it loves
honest sport. To such limits had
gambling on horse races zone that the
public had lost faith in the honesty
of the racetrack and always inclined
to question the result as being the
settlement of the real merits of the
contest. With the ascendancy of the
betting ring came the decadence of
racing sport and little but the gam
bling spirit, with it's attendant de-
moralization, survived.
In forming an estimate of the prob
ability of success for bookless horse
racing the history of base ball may be
cited. The same conditions at n
time seriously threatened the life of
the game and the Punishment OF the
betting ring and poolroom connections
marked the beginning of the success
of professional base ball. With the
sport dependent upon receipts at the
gate for those who delight in honest
competition, free from suspicion of
crookedness, 1t has grown in popular
ity and yielded financial returns to its
promoters not dreamed Of in the other
days. Lovers of the horse would not
like to think his popularity is hitched
to so demoralizing a side-line as the
bookmakers' gamble. and these will
hope that a really great sport may
survive.

PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.

Modjeska. Hitchcock, Crawford and Swim
burne! Deaths toll for early April visibly
marks the ranks of humanity.
The moral uplift in Pittsburg cut down
divorce business 50 per cent. Depression in
the steel business is equally marked.
The treasury of Texas, yawning for that
oil fine of $1,000, 900. will have room to rent
when the lawyers get through with the
pile.
An impressive rear view of an imposing
legal pump caused a bunch of New York
ers to cough up $692, S92 and duck the wit
ness stand.
People of threescore and ten, who hobble
YEARLY around a block or two, should OBJ
serve Weston at II Keeling off fifty miles
a day and look pleasant.
The deacons of a PENNSYLVANIA church,
who discovered a $1,000 bill in the contribu-
ton box have been restored to conscious
ness. 1t was real stage money.
The French reporter pictured in the ap-
plication blank acts up like his brothers
of the Ananias club. He kicked on the re-
quirements of involuntary initiation.
The JOY of the Daughters Of the Revolu-
ton on discovering $4,000 in the treasury
was somewhat marred by its coming after
all Investments in eastern millinery had
been made.
Mr.. Hartman is a real sport or a copious
buffer. Either role works his way. While
in Seattle a few months ago. he offered to
flip a coin to determine whether he should
pay 100000 damages to a property owner
or not. Nothing doing.
Sons of Milwaukee, and daughters too,
who have drifted away from home are to
be welcomed back like the prodigal of old
during the first week of August. There will
be doings in the Cream City every hour
of the twenty-four for five days, when
the prodigals can retire and sleep II off.
In a little town in Pennsylvania six men
battered each other to a standstill over
one girl. Unfortunately they did not know
what an elegant surplus of girls ''shed
their fragrance" in man-deserted towns Of
New England. Something should be done
to secure a more equal distribution OF the
necessaries Of life.

NEWSPAPERS ARE BETTER.
Give Schools and Colleges Effective
Publicity.

Mail order Journal.
Evidence has shown that the newspapers
are the logical mediums for school adver-
Using. Men and women who give atten-
ton to educational problems are, as a rule,
the kind who keep in touch with the af-
fairs of the world. They read the news
papers for the news that's In thern-for in
formation as to what congress is doing,
for the society news, for dry goods store
news. for political news, for reports of cur
rent happenings here and abroad in every
department of human action.
The daily newspapers are the mediums
that have made good" during the past
several years on this class of advertising.
Besides the reason already given for this,
there are a number of others. For one
thing. there is a better opportunity OF peo-
pie getting acquainted with a school
through a medium which comes out more
frequently than once a month. Another
advantage in using newspapers lies In tho
fact that as different sections are covered
by them. the school may use different copy
and different arguments in its home terri
tory from that used in other sections. In
the selection OF mediums to use. there is no
question that the papers which appeal to
the more cultured, more serious-minded
readers, rather thar to the frivolous or
those Of low taste and morals, are the ones
that will bring the best results.
