An ancient homestead in Wood

Between the house a7d its huge old
doorstep is narrow crevice filed
with cement. In this hard and SEEM

flourish ng English violet plant awak-

With apparently no encouragement
this brave little plant yearly puts
forth fresh leaves and sometimes as.
many as ten fragrant flowers bloom.

For small chicks at first it is well
to feed stale nread crumbs and hard
boiled eggs crumbled fine. Afterwards
oatmeal and cornmeal cake, or john
ny-cake,' as it is generally called,
make. good rations for the growing
chicks, with wheat or cracked corn
added as soon as they can eat these
grains. Many people prefer oats to
wheat, as a better muscle and bone
forming food, but chickens will eat
the wheat at an earlier age.-Farm-

WAITER AND GUINEA FOWLS.

WATER AND GUINEA FOWLS.
Geese and ducks are becoming
more salable each season. The price
of geese was almost treble that OF
chickens in the market during Novem-
ber and december of last year.
Ducks did not bring price equal to
that received for geese, but even they
sold remarkably well. Geese hatch
their own eggs and brood the goslings.
They seem to care for them better
than do mother hens or brooders.
When once the goslings are week or
ten days old, they grow very fast and
require little attention.
Old, marshy lands, or those that
have a fairly good crop of grass, af
ford good ranging land for geese.
Geese do best if they have dry spot
on elevated land to go to when it
rains. After the goslings are three
weeks old they Craze their entire liv-
ing from the grass during the sum
mer.
Ducks must be continually fed or
they viii not prosper. Young ducks
must be fed several times a day on
mixed meal or cracked corn, or they
do not grow as they should. The best
means Of feeding cracked corn to
young ducks is to put the corn into
a shallow pan of water and let the
ducks take it from the water as they
eat It. Ducks require water to drink

 The plan they have on foot is for each employee to give one days sal ary. at least for these unfortunate people, and it Is more than likely that all will respond to this request.
 Conductor H. G. Hawks has the matter in charge, and in fact was the originator of the scheme, and will re- ceive the subscriptions from all who will contribute.

VAUDEVILLE AT ELkS
 CROWDS SEE SHOWS
Moving Picture Houses Did Reg. ular Land Office Business Last Night--Cyclone Views Shown at TbeatOrium. ..4

The Elks Theater, under the joint management of c. F. Philpot and s. E. Wilhoit, who recently closed the Orpheo Theater, opened it's vaudeville and moving picture season last night. offering two performances to two crowded houses. The bill was an ex- ceptionally good one and will be con- tinued throughout the week at the same prices that prevailed at the Or pheo. The balcony and gallery is given over to negroes. In addition to two thousand feet of up-to-date films a good vaudeville bill is presented. The Sytz team of acrobats and sing CTS in comedy work is one of the strongest acts on the bill. The barrel jumping act of the male member of the team is something out of the or dinary. Hilderbrand and Vivian do some heavy lifting that pleases. Hil- derbrand lifts barrel. containing water weighing $50 pounds, with his teeth. The Burbanks also make good in an entertaining speciality. The electrical effects are up to the stand ard
 At the TheatOrium.
 With patrons packed to the doors at every performance and crowds waiting to get in for the next show, the Theatorium offered as a drawing card yesterday afternoon and last night views of the recent Brinkley cy- clone. The views of the terrible tor nado sixteen in number, are clear and give fine idea of the frightful force of the wind. The vaudeville acts and moving picture films also form a good bill here. A. J. Wayne, the new black face offering, gets away with some good songs and he incl dentally tells some new jokes and some old ones. Tho latter are made new by Wayne for he tells them as they have never been told before. Eugene Curtis, the singer, continues to win favor with his songs. Begin ming Thursday Hanlon and Walsh will present a high class society act that promises to be as good as their opening skit. The Brinkley cyclone views will be shown throughout the week.

HOW HORN GOT IN
 ON THE TWO QUEENS
eARDoMs STORY OF s2oo,ooo ORE
Defendant Says s5o,oOo Was Spent in
 Advertisement.

Kansas City, May 15.-Frank H. Horn, one of the defendants on trial in the federal court here charged with using the mails to defraud in promot- ing the Two Queens" mine in Ari zona, gave some interesting testimony on the stand today. After saving that the company had spent close to s5O,- 900 in two years in advertising the mine, Horn was asked how he first became interested in the property.
 q first heard of the mines" Horn said, when I was in Los Angeles in the summer of 1906 There I met two Arizona prospectors, s. D. Gardom and C. c. Werner. They were trying to obtain capital to develop the Two Queens" gold mines. The mines were discovered by Gardom. Gardom said that he had taken ore from the mine that assayed $2O0.0OO to the ton"
 How much of the promotion stock did you receiver"
 About 1OO,O0 shares"
 Did you intend to deceive the com pany or any of the purchasers of stock"
 No. I acted in good faith in all that I did. I believed that we had a won derful mine and I said so in my ad- vertisements."
 On cross examination Horn admitted that some of the statements in his let ters were not based on facts.

JAPANESE CONDUCT
 AN ORDERLY STRIKE
But the Hawaiian Plantation Owners
 Think 1t Will Be Failure.

Honolulu, May 15.-A determined ef fort is being made Go break a strike of the Japanese plantation laborers of whom more than 5000 have walked out to enforce their demands for increased wages. Six hundred strike breakers, composed of Hawaiians, Portuguese, Porto Ricans and Chinese, have been put to work in the large mill on the Honolulu plantation, grinding cane which had already been cut when the Japanese went on strike. The mills on the Eva and oahu plantations are still idle, but it is expected that the latter will resume grinding on Monday.
 So far no disorder has marked the strike and the Japanese have conduct ei themselves peaceably. Two fires broke out on the Eva plantation Fri day night but there was nothing to in dicate they were incendiary. In both instances the fires were extinguished before any damage was done.
 The Japanese Merchants association will ask the planters to make some concession to the striking laborers and grant them some increase in their wages.
