Ten Gallon IL Day Cow

A three-year-old Shorthorn COW
owned by A. L. McCauley, of Day
ton. Wash, is giving gallons of
milk every 81 hours, states an eX-
change This animal promises to be-
come a world beater. This COW has
subsisted thus far this spring on
hay, and only now has the owner
commenced feeding his pet mill
feed. Mr.. McCauley says that he
expects the COW to make a record of
- gallons daily. To test the butter
producing qualities of her milk, Mr..
McCauley made five pounds of but

milk last year, and this amount he
says will be increased $50 this year.
Mr. McCauley refused an offer OF
$3.50 for the COW recently. Three
times each day the COW is MIXED.
| The first milking in the morning is
4 gallons, at noon 1-2 gallons and
at night 1-2 gallons. Mr. Nc

 This was turning point in Eolan's career He borrowed SL000 from the bank without reporting the loaR. Stocks went down, and he borrowed nore money
 One morning ten years after Nolan had entered Mir. Porter's service he went into that gentlemanS pr4va1e of Ace and said to him:
 "Mr. Porter. some time ago at sud den collapse of the stock market 1 lost my savings of years. I believed that there wouh soon be a rise that would restore all had lost and give me much more. I borrowed money from the bank to use for margin. Stocks have been st'll going down, and have lost S25, GOO of your money"
 The president told him that the shortage had been discovered; that the bank had made other losses which they might have weathered without this one As 1t was, a failure was un- avoidable.

 "No." replied the president ''I shall not prosecute you"
 'Then I will surrender myself" The president endeavored to per suade the young man to go out into thesworld unsmirched and begin again. But, no. He had sinned beyond his own forgiveness, and his life had lost its charm Thereafter he would live under the blight in any form fate as signed him. He left the president gave himself up to the police under his own confession and within a week was in state prison beginning term of ten years.
 Nolan, receiving the shortened time for good behavior, was discharged in about seven years. The banker had failed and had died, leaving child, a boy, without mother or support of any kina. As soon as the prisoner regained his liberty he sought out this child whom he found selling papers. Nolan went to a merchant whom he had known before his embezzlement and asked for aposition. The only job,the merchant would give him was that o1 porter. He accepted 1t, took the boy to 1.-Two with him, sent him to school and otherwise provided for his mainte' 1 nance.

[Copyv<Ght, 1909. by American Press Aseo-
 ciation.
 Raymond Nolan was eighteen when he enteved the service of .a small bank He wns a bright fellow, not only ready to do his own work, but that of any one else. He had been taught the value of money and that the surest way to start & fortune was by saving. Consequently each week when he drew his salary he put aside certain amount for this purpose.
 Raymond was great favorite with MT. Porter, owner of the bank. Seeing that the youngster was in every way fitted for promotion, he promoted him as rapidly as vacancies occurred At each raise of salary Raymond ipereas- ed the propOrtionate amount Chat he put aside for his nest egg" When that nest egg reached $500 he looked about for some method of investment. He bought bond paying i per cent interest. From this time his capital increased little more rapidly. His DtiLS lo tSitoih Siieii 70 that were paying double the interest he received on his bond, he changed his investment The shares not only p0id him the interest, but rose in value. He sold them and had S1.000 of his own.
 As year after year passed Nolan found himself nearer to the amount he had fixed upon for legitimate invest ment. Sometimes he would sink away from 1t under depression of securi- ties, but usually upon reaction he would find himself further ahead than before. At one of these Impressions he concluded to increase his investment, accepting loan from his broker for the purpose-in other words, buy on margin. Stocks were considered very cheap and bound to have a good rise. As Nolan had his affairs arranged a rise of five points would give him his S10OOO.
 But, contrary to expectations. stocks continued to depreciate, sinking in stead of rising five points. Then they rested awhile, and another period of liuuidation carried them down ten points further. On down they went till Nolan found that he had lost his capi- tai. His brokers called on him for

He has given that boy a clliSd's savings bank, and the boy. too, is saving. And there is a lesson in finance the young capf talist receives at intervals impressive ly. Is 1t not to speculate? No It is the one great lesson that every boy should learn-never use cent of trust fllnd.
 Nolan is no longer a porter. He is tn a business of his own. He manages it himself. but through others. He takes the risks usual to any man who ham, dles money. but he pays cash and will not permit other peoples money to re- main in his possession overnight-not that he fears temptation, but the sen- ration would be disagreeable to him. He is ready to turn over to his self imposed ward all he took from that wards father as soon as the boy is equipped to receive it.
 In one respect he has not been courageous. He has never told the boy of his sin.

for Senator Cummins and Dolliver on
their return from the national capital
The Mason City Globe+Gazette de-
clares that this is "a great thing" and
suggests that it should be done with a
vim, and lungs and voices should be
put in practice now for greater vol
ume when the glorious event comes
apace 1T is well to strew palm leaves
and flowers today and banzai to cry, =
asserts the writer in the GlObe-Ga-
zette. who proceeds to recall that he
was once at Des Moines when Sena-
tor Allison was given a most tremen-
Gus ovation. He was hailed as the
whole works of the republican party
in the state by Des Moines and the
Des MONIES newspapers. Two years
later they said they were only fooling
or words to that effect Wherefore
the writer in the G.-G. is prompted to
suggest:
Just little reverse in the business
prosperity of the nation will put Dolli-

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

The average cigar will burn for
thirty minutes. While man is smok-
ing it he can walk two miles at top
speed. If a, man started to walk to
the moon, and smoked cigars all the
way, he would use 90,000,000 boxes of
hatcher to light them. The stubs he
would cast aside would make a heap
5000 miles in height and $4,000 miles
in diameter. This proves that If you
would stop smoking you could pay the
.dressmaker's bills and never notice
the absence of the money
Light travels at the rate Of several
thousand miles per minute. If a mes
senger. boy travelled as rapidly as light
does he could deliver the message,
bring back the reply and have spare
time enough to read a library of 40
100000 dime novels during his natural
life. 80.
A horse fourteen hands high can lift
a weight of 5000 pounds two feet in
one hour. If the horse were $4,000
hands high it could lift the world
forty feet per minute, and, If attached
to, rope wrapped about the earth, could
pull it westward so rapidly that one
side of the earth would have perpet-
ual light. A liveryman charging two
dollars per hour for the use of the
horse would wear out a pencil a mile
long every month figuring up the
charges.
One pound Of quinine is $120, IL a
druggist does not want to charge you
any more. If druggist had 200 tons
of quinine and were to put it up in
twograin capsules alta nickel a piece,
he would work a>thousand years and
would clear $5,673,299. gag. '|h ..
The farthest fixed star gives off
two cubic feet of heat per day. If
you had the farthest fixed star in your
furnace, and had to pay eight dollars
a ton for it, you would owe the coal
man $50 at the end of the winter.
The cords of larnyx vibrate 900
times per second when the voice is
pitched att b. fiat. When six
women are talking about their
absent friends the cords vibrate $4,000
times per second, and If the vibra-
tons could be confined they would
create power sufficient to raise the
Washington monument eighty feet
into the atmosphere.

NOT LOST ON The FARM.

On recent Abba case the Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye commented as follows:
George VA. DeTar, farmer near
Abba, has filed petition in bank,
ruptcy. His liabilities given at almost
S25, 900. 1t would be interesting to
discover just how he did it. With all
produce selling at top figures and the
value of land constantly going up
ward, the man must have been pur-
sued by exceptional i'll LUCK or he
must have developed unustlal apti-
tude along the wrong way of doing
things. Petitions of bankruptcy
among farmers are sCarcer than
hens teeth"
Now comes the Abba Republican
with the following explanation of the
trouble:
The last issue of the Republican
contained legal publication concern
ing a meeting of the creditors OF
George A. DeTar. Mr.. DeTar went
into bankruptcy, and the referee is
endeavoring to untangle badly mix
Gus farmer and went into business,

the downfall of'tso many good men.
Had he have stayed with the farm the
present trouble would doubtless not
have been upon him and he would be
leading the lifesbf ease and comfort
in his old age,,'in i'm place of having his
private matters Hatred in the United
States courts. ftThe causeiof the fail
ure was no morelnor less than good
man getting into a business with
which he was not acquainted. We
hope to see Mr.. DeTar save some
thing out of the wreck, and build the
fortune back to where it was when he
was a prosperous and independent
