The next day, by direction of the Legis- lat.lre, William Goebel on his death bed was sworn in as Governor and J. c. W. Beckham took the oath as Lieu tenant Governor. Then during the in- vestigation of the murder that followed w. S. Taylor. Charles Finley, his Sec retary of State, and the rest of his ac- tive partisans were obliged to flee.
 Caleb Powers was arrested in con- nection with the crime, and was four times convicted for the murder but just as often the judgment was re- versed, till he was finally pardoncd last year by the Governor.
 Taylor found an asylum in Indiana since his flight. One after another of the Indiana Governors have refused to give him up. and he has been able to defy his enemies in Kentucky. Mean while the Democratic majority in Ken lucky chose it's own Governor, and Mir. Beckham. who was the candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with William Goebel. was first chosen by the Legislature, and afterward elected by the people chief magistrate.

ply renting out all of the land except fifty to eighty acres. That several COWS must be kept on such q farm goes with out saying, not only for the monthly income and profit, but for the manure that is necessary to keep the soil alive.
 Present sanitary requirements call for many devices and appliances that cannot be installed on the small farm, but cleanliness and kindness is within the possibilities of any of us, and while 1t is true that to house the COWS in the same building with the horses has some disadvantages, it also has its ad- vantages, and to build separate build ings for both, is not only expensive, but calls for extra help in caring for and feeding them.
 A careful study of the barn shown in the illustration herewith will show what we will call a condensed arrange ment, and, while the cows are in the same barn with the horses, a good, tight partition separates them from the horse barn, to keep out the dust and odors.

The many very marked changes in farm life would lead one to believe that the large farm is, or soon will be, a thing of the past.

Too WeII-Done.

Mrs. Eliphalet Howe of Centerville had never encountered Hamlet" either in the pursuit of literature or on the stage. up to the time of her first visit to her Boston niece. On that occasion she was taken by the niece and her husband to see a performance of the play.
 "How did you like 1t, Aunt JaneT' asked her nephew-in-law, as he piloted the old lady up the aisle by her elbow, when the performance was over.
 eff that's what you call play call 1t hard work" said Aunt Jane, indig- nantly. How you and Nettie can sit calm in your seats and see such heart less doings is beyond me:
 "Why. that Hamlet man looked so sick I shouldn't have been surprised If he hadn't lived to finish out his talk ing.' And by the expression of those other folks, I'll venture to say they felt the same.

 Indicted for old Crime.
 The issuance by Gov. Wilson of Kentucky of rardons to w. S. Taylor, ex-Qovernor, Charles Finley, ex-Secre- tary of State, and other persons in dicted for complicity in the murder of William Goebel writes the final chap ter in the story of a remarkable po- lit1cal tragedy. It terminates the ef- fort on the part of the State authorities to solve the mystery of crime which has left a deep imprint on Kentucky life.
 The murder of William GOebel took place on Jan. 90, 1900, when Kentucky was on a verge of an internecine con- flict over the outcome of a hOtly-con- tested election between William Goebel, Democrat, and Wi'lihm S. Taylor, Re publican. Taylor was elected by many thousands. Goebel contested the cleo ton vigorously. An appeal to a Demo cratic election board proved unavailing.

FertiIizinE the Garden.

Don't be afraid of getting the soil too rich for any of the vegetables whose leaf or stem is edible. If you cannot have plenty of well routed manure, a top dressing of nitrate of soda just before planting will furnish the plant food needed of nitrogen, but other elements may be needed for a proper balance. Wood ashes, if avail able, are a good source for potash, but sulphate or muriate of rotash may be used instead and frequently dressing of hyperphosphate is beneficial.
 If one is growing only a small gar den for home use, the droppings from the poultry house will furnish enough fertilizer to keep the soil in a good state of fertility; but If growing truck on a large scale, it would be well to inquire of your experiment station what commercial fertilizers would be of most help in securing maximum crops of the vegetables you wish to grow.

Her AstraI spouse.

An unmarried woman of my ac- quaintance was drawing dangerously near the threshold of that age where the unmated must abandon every mat rimonial hope.
 Belonging as she did to that large contingent of women to whom mar riage represents the only possible ca reer, her anxiety, as she saw her chances of achieving it dwindling to the vanishing point, became keen, and in her distress she began to seek for comforting reassurances among that fraternity who, for a suitable consider ation, obligingly offer to reveal the se- crets of the future.
 In the course of an interview with one of these "wise women" she was told: "My dear, you already are mar ried on the astral plane, and it is your astral husband who is keeping the earth men away from you"

Notes of the Pig Pen.

Give growing pigs food to produce bone and muscle rather than fat.
 The pig should have a warm, dry bed kept clean and free from dust.
 No domestic animal responds so quickly to good treatment as the hog
 Thrifty hogs turn grains into money quicker than any other domestic ani- nal.
 The thrift and condition of the moth CT determine to a great extent what the pig will be.
 When a hog has to be driven to his feed usually a mistake has been made in his feeding.
 When fed dry shelled corn is more economical than cornmeal to feed to fsttening hogs.

weather happens to follow such treat ment the damage to the crop is much Increased When not followed by some form of cultivation that will level down the ridges left by the large shovel cultivator, the ground will dry out quite deeply and in the furrows be tween the ridges this drying readily reaches the roots of the corn. To obviate this as much as possible, when the old-fashioned large shovels are used, the work should be followed as soon as possible with something to level down the surface Unless there Is something to be gained by 1t, deep cultivation should not be followed Oklahoma Station.

RIPE OLIVES.

 Play on Newcomer.

Play on Newcomers.
 'T have just returned from Califor nia," said the traveller, land for your information. in case you ever wander thither, let me post you on one of the merry little jests which the inhabitants love to ring in on the innocent tender foot.
 About the first thing they'll run you up against the California ripe olives Ever eat them? You can hardly get them here because they won't stand shipment. And they're mighty good.
 Most real olive eaters prefer them to the ordinary green picked olive The ripe olives are pickled also, you understand, and come out of the brine jet black.
 "After you have eaten and approved, they will lead you on by remarking:
 "'Well, If you like them that way you'll like them better fresh. Just stroll out to the orchard with me and we'll have one"
 'sThen they lead you out to one of their long lanes of trees. pause to remark that you don't know what olive green and olive brown mean until you've seen those colors in that slim graceful little tree.
 "There are fresh olives all right hanging among the gray leaves and looking mighty tempting. You pick one and bite into 1t.
 "WhewI Bitter? I can taste it yet It's all the quinine and rhubarb and wormwood in the world, combined in a nasty, haunting bitterness that hangf to you until you have eaten two meals. It is an oily bitterness that gets into the corners and crannies of youI mouth and won't be washed out.

FertiIIzer for Potatoe,.

For potatoes the past year we used 1,2OO pounds of fertilizer to the acre, one-third applied broadcast and the rest scattered in the furrow, brushing the fertilizer into the soil of the fur row before planting the seed. After planting, the surface was kept well stirred to prevent weeds starting and the cultivator was run often enough to keep down the weeds. A little hand hoeing was done The yield was 25O bushels per acre. The crop followed corn and the land was very thorough ly narrowed before potatoes were planted. Plenty of narrowing and lib- eral use of fertilizers may be depend. ed on to give a good crop.

All in Management.

Folks say that if you want any class of stock that can always be sold at profit, from weaning time until totter- ing old age, you want a mule. We do not raise mules, so can not speak from experience. This much we do know, however, several good friends of ours have been dickering in mules for years without making any money. Perhaps these are the exceptional cases that prove the rule. Others have raised and bought mules and made good money. We surmise it's more the man and his management than it Is the mule, that reaps the profit. The same man dealing in razorbacks might make some money.-Farmers' Mail and Breeze

MANS GOLDEN AGE.
His Best Achievements Not fin the

His Best Achievements Not fin the
 Past, but in the Future.
 The old theologians were gloomy in the contemplation of the future of mankind. They could not see much in the days ahead except unhappiness and pain. Whether the trouble lay in read ing the mournful but magnifcently beautiful words of Job, or whether in the times there was a poison of hope lessness, none of us may more than guess.
 Tine scientific people have been doing a great amount of overstudying of the face of the globe in recent years. the Toledo Blade says, experimenting. turning over ancient dust heaps and cleaning up cave debris. The total age of the world is somewhere in the neighborhood of 72,O00,000 years, d few million either way, of course, being no matter over which any spectacled pro fessOrs would come to blows. The lIu- man race began to accomplish things for itself which may be counted of value about 2,000 years back. The best it has cone is within the last 200 years.
 So the man is but an infant in his Hfe's history. His great work, his achievements, his glory and his grand eur are ahead of him. The golden age is not buried in some distant past. but is a heritage into which he has not yet come. These views of the scientific world hardly agree with those who find all that is good, all that is attractive to them in the records of the Greeks and the Romans. There is warfare be- tween the two schools of thought. For you it is permitted to take up with either party, or accept them both, as occasion and mood direct.

BIG SCARE ON
BOAT FROM CONEY
Pegasus Runs Into German
Steamships Anchor Chains,
but Does Little Damage.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Pegasus.
of the Iron Steamboat Company's
Coney Island fleet, was coming up on
her last trip an hour before sunset last
night with many passengers, when
in a heavy fog inside Norton's Point
she ran her nose under the starboard
anchor chain of the big German tank
steamer Phoebus, anchored in Graves
end Bay.
There was a sharp snap, as the flag
over the side, Their a rending of the
rails on the promenade deck on both
sides. There was q rush of persons out
of the cabins. When they saw the
loom of the big German close alongside
the passengers on the Pegasus showed
signs of breaking into a panic.
Nothing more serious happened. Cap
tain Wise had his boat backed out
from under the anchor chain and away
into the lifting shreds of fog before
anybody aboard the German tank
steamer really knew what had hap
pened.
The Pegasus suffered comparatively
little damage. Her Iron stem was bent,
both rails on the promenade deck were
carried away from the bow for a dis
lance of ten or twelve feet and q lot
of paint was missing. that was about
all. She steamed to her dock in Edge
water, n. J., for repairs.
