affirmed his conviction by the United
States Circuit Court. secured a de-
cision, handed down late this after
neon. giving him the right to apply
to The lower court for a new trial.

mandate. however. the Court of APP
reals notes that the decision is net
to be taken as indicative that the
Circuit Court must entertain motion
for a new trial The simple right TO

David BeascO was in his best mood
at a dinner preceding his vacation
his first vacation i'll twenty long, hard
years. In the course of a learned re-
view Of barefoot dancing, problem
plays and suchlike outcrOppngs OF
stage history, he smiled and said:
1T may be true, as some have
claimed that immoral plays are due to
the immoral taste of woman. Yes,
that may be true; but gentlemen, did
YOU ever watch at the theater an
elderly, staid perhaps somewhat un-
prepOSscssing wife, brOoding over a
husband little younger than herself?
These wives, surely. are no supporters
of the immoral stage spectacle. Such
Il wife sat in one Of my theaters dur
ing the production of a drama. The
heroine. a beautiful girl, said at a
dramatic moment:
"'Merciful heavens, ] am undone"
'9The wife rose hulTiedy.
"'Come. Clarence she murmured
sternly. We've had enough of this.
I'm not going to have YOU drinkin' in
any Salome dance or disrobin' act"

HnM Cholera.

In the way of treatment the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry has
discovered a vaccine which saves
about S0-odd per cent after cholera ap'
pears in herd, and a larger per cent
If vaccinated before the disease Is In
troduced. Time will demonstrate the
practicability of this method. The
bacterlology department Of the Kansas
State Agricultural College Is also
working along these lines, but Is not
yet ready to announce anything but
progress.
When symptoms Of cholera appear
in a herd. it Is wise to dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thor
oughly, give them a slight change IN
feed, and add to this about five drops
of tincture Of prickly ash for each
hundred pounds of hog once or twice a
day. The old remedy of wood ashes
and salt is good In many instances. A
little powdered sulphate Of copper.
dried sulphate of iron or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good. After all, the old adage, an
ounce of prevention Is worth a pound
OF cure, holds good here.

Kill weeds by spraying, To make
the spraying solution, empty a hun
dred pound sack of sulphate of iron
into a fifty-gallon barrel; fill to the
chine with water and stir with a hoe
for a few minutes until dissolved.
Strain through several thicknesses of
cheesecloth tackled over the manhole
of the spraying machine. Apply with
a powerful spraying machine, produc.
ing a real mist, free from drops. Use
about fifty gallons to the acre, and
spray on a bright, warm day, or on a
dark, damp day; 1t does not matter,
so long as rain does not come within
eighteen or twenty hours. This spray
will not harm grain crops and will
kill wild mustard and various other
weeds

To set the trap simply raise the

A few simple fertilizer maxims are
so important that they should be

another way for saying parts in 100.
Fertilizers may be direct or indirect

bucket, controls the flow. The top OF
the rod is connected to crossbar,
which runs under the handle of the

and, when resting on the top of the

valve the operator merely extends a
finger and lifts the bar, thus shutting
off the fertilizer. The valve flares at

man Snyder came along one day and
asked for job and sent him out there
thinking he'd keep things In order until
the Trust Company sent its own lepre-
sentative here
There were times when Wheaton's
black eyes contracted curiously, and this
was one of the times.
Il don't like discharging a man that
you've employed" Saxton replied,
"Oh, that's all right. You can't keep
him if he performs no service. Don't
trouble about him on my account. How
soon are you going back there?'
Next week some time"
Saxton was not surprised when he re-
turned to the ranch to find that Snyder
had made no effort to obey his instrnc
tions. He made his visit unexpectedly.
He reached the house in the middle OF
the morning and found the front dool
bolted and barred on the inside. After
much pounding he succeeded in bringing
Snyder to the door, evidently both sur
prised and displeased at his interruption.
"Howdy, boss" was the salutation ol
the frowsy custodian; Il wasn't feeling
just right to-day and was takin little
nap
The great hall showed signs Of ca
rousal. The dirt had increased since Sax
tons first appearance. Empty bottles
that had been doing servrce as can'Ae-
sticks stood in their greasy shrouds or
the table. Saxton sat down on a keS,
which had evidently been recently emp
tied He resolved to make quick WORK
of Snyder.
How many cattle have you rounded
up since | was here?" he demanded.
We'll, to tell the TRUTH" began Snyder
there amt been much time for doing
that since you was here
NO; | suppose you were busy mend
ing fences and cleaning house. Now you
have been drawing forty dollars a month
for doing nothing. III treat you better
than you deserve and give you ten dol

go at that. Here's your money"
We'll, | guess as Mr.. Wheaton hired
me, he'd better fire me"
Yes, | spoke TO Mr.. Wheaton about
you. lie understands that you're to go.
He does, does he?" Snyder replied
with a sneer. He must have forgot that
| had an arrangement with him by The
year
Well it's all off," said Saxton, rising
He began throwing open the windors and
doors to let in fresh air.
Well l guess III have to see Mr..
Wheaton," Snyder retorted finding that
Saxton was paying no further attention
to him. He collected his few belongings,
watching in astonishment the violence
with which Saxton was gathering up and
disposing of rubbish
He seems to be more interested in
Wheaton than Wheaton is in him. OBJ
served Saxton to himself.
Saxton spent a week. at Great River.
He hired man to repair fences and put
the house in order. He visited several of
the large ranch owners and asked them
for aid in picking out the scattered rem
nants of the Poindexter herd. Nearly all
of the mvolunteered to help, with the re-
suit that he collected about one hundred
cattle and sold them at Great River for
cash. He expected to see or hear of Sny-
der in the town but the fellow had dis
appeared.
