-
Kansas City, Nov. 23.--1n vain
effort to save the life of his little
grandson, Congressman David A. De
Armond, of the Sixth Missouri dis
trict. perished in a fire that destroyed
his home In Butler. Mo, early today.
The heroism of the congressman
was made known late this afternoon,
when. with his arms locked around
the burned body of the little hoy, the
dead mans body was found, He
had caught up the siX-year-old lad,
David A. De Almond. Jr, and rushed
with him through the flames that
filled his room. He fell with his un-
conscious burden ana both sank
through the floor to quick death.
What makes the tragedy unusually
pathetic is the fact that the grandson
was the grandfathcr's idol The two
were inseparable and often slept to-
gether. Last night the boy went 70
his grand fathers house as usual, ana
after happy evening the two retired.
The next the family heard Of them
was early today, when, from behind
lIlH HiilVhN i'I +iatiiA'r WAL WIZ NA'RNN
tho house the boy screamed
"Oh, grandpa, get me out Of here
quick. I'm burning to death.
Yes, son; don't be afraid. Grand
pa will take YOU out was the calm
reply.
Then both went down to their
death.
The rest of the family sleeping In
the house at the time, Mrs. De Ar
mond, her daughter, Mrs Clark, and
Miss Nettie Boles-were greatly
shaken by their experiences Mrs. De
Almond tainted and would have met
death in the flames had not her
daughter dragged her out into the
yard
Messages of coincidence from all
parts of the country were read by the
De Almonds this afternoon.
James A. De Almond, editor of the
Bates County Democrat, son of the
and father of the boy
who was burned, tried to rush into
the burning house to save his father
and son, but was prevented by oth-
ers who knew his sacrifice would be
in vain.

David Albaugh De Almond was
born i'm Blair county. Pa" March Is,
1S44; was brought up on farm; edu-
Gated in the common schools and at
Williamsport Dickinson seminary. He
was first elected to the house of rep
resentatives from the sixth congress
ional district of Missouri In 1891 and
served continuously. lie was one OF
the best known members Of the lower
house and had occupied other posi-
tions Of prominence in his state.
He was a democrat In addition to
his political prominence he was we'll
known lawyer.
In his youn gmanhood he practiced
law in Butler, Mo. and in 1884 was
named a presidential elector He had
successively filed the positions OF
state senator, circuit judge and Mis-
souri, supreme court commissioner.
Inclined to be pugndcious, he often
pleaded subjects as an aggressor
rather than as a defendant. rms
quality Of mind WAS the means of get
ting into a personal alterations two
years ago with John Sharp Williams
leader OF the house. The
difference between them arose over
Mr.. williams designation Of Mis-
souri, colleague of Mr.. De Almonds
for a place in the organization Of the
sivtieth congress. They came TO
blows. but both being lightweights'
neither was badly hurt
Mr. DE Almond was an aspirant Tor
the leadership Of tho house. but the
designation of Mr. Clark efi"ctuhiiH
cut him out of that position.

A Monster Egg.

Probably the largest hen egg ever
seen in these parts was laid on Sun
day by a single-comb White Leghorn,
the property of Mr.. Herbert Wilbur.
No. 49 Vanderhost street. The egg
was an object Of much interest to all
who saw it, but the most unusual
thing about it was that when it was
broken, it was found to contain an
ordinary sized egg, perfectly formed
and having shell. The original egg
weighed six ounces, while an ordi-
nary egg weighs about one ounce. 1t
measured around the largest part
seven and half inches and it was
three inches in length. Mr.. Wilbur
prides himself on his White Leghorn
fowls and has a very creditable dis
play in his yards, but the latest
achievement of one of his hens has
placed a premium on that particular
fowl. There was much speculation
the size of the omelet that
one egg would make and how many
it would take to make a decent egg
nog at another season, provided the
city were not in the prohibition
column.-Charleston News & Courier.

Birds Killed low snrayinc.

2 A large amount Of .circumstantial
evidence seems to justify the assump-
ton that birds are killed by spraying
trees with arsenical insecticides for
the purpose of killing insects. Last
year many birds were found dead
where trees were sprayed, and the
State ornithologist began an investi-
cation to determine whether the birds
were killed by spraying. The evil
dence secured was not conclusive
enough to clear up the matter fully.
1t is now time to begin spraying for
the gypsy moth, brown-tail moth and
elrl-leaf beetle. Dead birds usually
may be found within two or three
days after spraying has been done.
All who are interested in bird life
are requested to be on the watch for
dead birds under or in the vicinity OF
sprayed trees, and to forward any
found to, E. H. Forbush, State Orni-
thologist, Room 1876, State House,
Boston, Mass. It is proposed to have
the birds bodies analyzed to learn II
they have been poisoned by the spray
ing mixture.-American Cultivator.

advantages are that it drags neither
lengthwise nor square across the
burrows and makes easier corners
than the ordinary diagonal dragging.
Plain Dutch fashion Is shown in dia-
gram above. Commence by Striking
out" from A to 3. Turn to the right
and go back on the left side of first
track till you reach edge of field near
A. Drive across the first track and
back on the opposite side to the
other end. Cross over and back on
opposite side again.
Continue crossing over at each
end inside your last track and outside
the last track along the SIDES. When
half done the piece will look like
first diagram, and the next trip would
be from c to D, to E, to T, to G.
When done the last trip would be
from G to II, and the piece will have
been dragged twice diagcnally in
opposite directions. This works we'll
on pieces that are nearly square or
not more than twice as long as wide.

HoM to Sell the CuIls.

r sf Y III
The best disposition any fancier
can make OF his, Gull birds is to dress
them and sell them in the market.
1t Is dangerous to the reputation Of
breeder Of fine poultry to sell them
alive at any price. We once knew
fancier to sell his Gull birds alive
to a grocer. The next thing he knew
huckster poultry dealer was offer
ing birds Of his strain for sale and a
little inquiry showed that the enter
prising grocer had sold the Gull birds
to the huckster at about twice the
market price.
On one occasion we sold thirty-five
culls to man who "just wanted
plain layers, didn't care for points
or scores" These birds were sold
for just what they were for little
more than the market price. 1t was
not long before letter from the
buyer of these birds appeared in a
farm paper denouncing our stock in
unmeasured terms as being unfit to
breed. Since that time we have
never sold Gull bird alive. Kill
the culls for If you sell them alive
some one will see them and judge
your whole flock by them.-Poultry.

Board Culture For Onions.

Good crops of onions have been
grown on a small scale by peculiar
system which may be called "board
culture" One grower tried the plan
last year on a patch OF six or eight
square rods. The onion field was
prepared in the usual way with two
rows sixteen inches apart. Onion sets
of the large, white varieties were
then pricked out about six inches
apart in the rows. Boards foot
wide of the same length as the rows
were placed between the rows, leav-
ing a space of four inches for the
onions to grow. The labor of keep
ing the plants clean and cultivated.
was very light and big yield was
gathered. About 700 feet Of cheap
boards were required. No doubt If
the rows had been only nine or ten
inches apart, with six-inch boards
between the rows, much larger
quantity could have been grown on
the same land.-American Cultivator.

Dry Potatoes For Food.


Consul Frank S. Hannah sends a
report to the Department of Com
merce and Labor relative to some re-
cent experiments in the drying OF
potatoes under the auspices Of the
German Imperial Interior Depart
ment which may offer a new field
for farmers. The potatoes are re-
duced by this process to about one
quarter Of their original weight and
car oe kept in good condition in
this compressed form for an iEdefln-
lite length of time. The military au-
thorities have made thorough expert
ments with this product and have
become convinced that its nutritious
value is fully equal to that of corn,
and that the dried potatoes can take
the place of one-third Of the former
ration of oats. The fact that the
potatoes are reduced to one-fourth
of their original weight brings about
a corresponding reduction in the
price Iof freight, SO that it will pay
to grow more potatoes than has for
merly been the case. ,3'..5 e S.

Average Farm Hand.

The lot of the average farm hand
is stated by many to be hard one.
How does It compare with Consul
Martins description Of the mine la
borer in the larger mines Of Mexico:
The living conditions OF the workers.
Mr.. Martin states. aEe extremely
humble. The average man and his
family live in one-room shack, mud
house, stone hut, or dugout, along
some bank. Their food consists Of
dried meat, fried flour cakes, beans
and rank coffee. Stoves are found
only in the better homes, the labor
er's meal being cooked over a little
FIRE between stones. At meal times
the family gather around the fire,
and sleep on blankets on the floor.
This is the living condition in every
camp; the high-priced laborers alone
have ordinary meals and sleeping
cots. The man who has family, and
in most camps only men with families
are desired, has the habit of consum-
ing his wages the day after he earns
them. The company runs a store,
only at which he can g.. provisions
on credit, and to this ste. ; the &C.
count book is brought and his daily
necessities charged aga;as+ MS wagss.
Every operator has absoiato control
of the sale of all merchandise Oh his
ground or within his concession; he
keeps the store, he buys at wholesale
in the cheapest market, and retails,
in very small quantities, of course,
at a profit of 100 per cent.

Predatory Instincts.

The inherited predatory tendency
of men to seize upon the fruits Of
other peoples labor Is still very
strong, and while we have nothing to
fear from kings, we may yet have
trouble enough from commercial
monopolies and favored industries,
marching to the polls their hordes of
bribed retainers. Well, indeed, has
IL been said, eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty. God never meant
that in this fair but treacherous
world in which He has placed us we
should earn salvation without stead.

WEIGHT OF THE BRAIN.
Difference Between savages and
Races Eono Civilized.

Races Long Civilized.
Prof. Frederick w. Mott, lectur,ng
before the Royal Institution of Great
Britain ON "The Brafn,s said that al
though IN SS per cent. OF the cases
IN which the brains OF great men had
been weighed the weight was above
the average, brain weight itself did
not always mean brain quality.
&. When there was lack OF the func-
ticnatfns tissue, the lecturer explain.
ed the structural material might re-
ceive more than its normal share Of
q nourishment and the extra weight lie
due to overgrowth OF brain scaffold-
s ing" This accounted for the very
Z aarge and heavy brains sometimes
found in cougenital idiots. Pointing
out that the brain weight OF race
long civilized surpassed that OF abb
origines, the lecturer stated that

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation Of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper
food for time until there is a sud
den collapse of the digestive organs,
then all kinds of trouble follow.
The proper way out of the difficult
ty is to shift to the pure, scientific
food, Grape-Nuts, for 1t rebuilds
from the foundation up. A New
Hampshire woman says:
LAST summer I was suddenly TAX
en- with indigestion and severe stom-
ach trouble and could not eat food
without great pain, my stomach was
so sore 1 could hardly move about.
THIS kept up until I was so miserable
life was not worth living.
aThen a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit ny
former diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although 1 had but little faith 1
commenced to use 1t, and great was
my surprise to find that 1 could eat it
without the usual pain and distress
in my stomach.
$50 1 kept on using Grape-Nuts,
and soon marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing its regular work in normal way
without pain or distress.
Every soon the yellow coating dis
appeared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and. alto
gether l felt as If 1 had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rap
idly, and l went back to my work
with renewed ambition.
"To-day l am a new woman in
mind as we'll as body, and owe it all
tn this natural food, Grape-Nuts.
There's Reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville."

interest.
