chase was continued far into the sur
rounding country and corn and grain
fields for miles around were care
fully traversed in the search for The
human quarry.
By nightfall there were no hoboes
within miles of Lesterville. During
the hunt those who were unfortunate
enough to come within reach of the
hunters were severely beaten, and for
many days will carry the marks in
fiicted by the heavy clubs in the
hands of their pursuers.
The man hunt was so successful
that it has been decided by the male
residents of Lesteryille to. repeat it
twice week during the remainder
of the season, or until all tramps
have learned to give the town wide
berth.
Other towns which are afflicted
with the tramp nuisance may adopt
similar stringent measures to rid the
town of the undesirables.

DOGS CATCH TOBACCO WORMS.
Shepherds Each Earn $1.OO a Day
For Their Owner.

Magistrate John F. Wirth of Hold
genville, KY, has called in his ken
mel OF shepherds. The dogs have
been busy during the tobacco season
worming the weed for Mr.. Wirth S
neighbors and friends.
The CANNES have earned dollar a
day each for their owner since the
worming season began, and have not
lost day in several weeks. The
idea was given Mr. Wirth last sea-
son, when a shepherd owned by him
took up the worming of tobacco of
its own accord and worked alongside
of the hands. 1t required only a lit
tie training to put several of the
CANNES to work. They dispose of
the worms by biting them in two.

Of the scores of queer religious
sects in this country there is none
so queer as the Amish. Their quiet
communities are found in Alabama,
Ohio and Oregon, and for a certain
weird fanaticism and the densest ig-

the world over
They came originally from Germa-
ny and Switzerland, driven out by
religious persecution. First they set
tied in western Pennsylvania, and
then went to central Ohio. Fifteen
years ago they ruled Holmes county
IN the central part of Ohio, but be-
cause their children had to go to the
county schools they moved to Geauga
county, in the northern part of the
state. Even there they were perse-
cuted, and large number of them
moved to Alabama and Oregon.

and resent the slightest attempt
made to teach their children. The

over period of three years, and

by DR.. Charles A. Porter of the Har-

His face, neck, scalp and arms
were a mass of turtle-like skin that
is known to the medical profession
as chelyOid tissue.

He left the hospital with a new
forehead, new eyelids, new cheeks,
new nose, new chin, new neck
and, finally, new head of hair, the
result of three years faithful treat
ment by DR.. Porter in the cause
of science.
Calabro was given ether no less
than 30 times. The operations con-
sisted of skin transportation and
grating. Much of the skin was
taken from other parts of Calabro's
own body, but his brother, Thomas,
and other members of his family,
sacrificed portions of skin to aid their
brother.

One of the greatest difficulties met

was the making of a new head of

be replaced, but this was finally ac-

FARMERS HUNT The HOBO
KEPT ON THE RUN AND
BEATEN WITH CLUBS.
Bold and PestiferOus Tourists Hike
Through the Dakota Corn
Fields to Escape.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-Hobo hunt
ing is becoming favorite pastime
and recreation for the residents of
some of the towns of South Dakota.
AT this time of the year thousands
of hobos, drawn to the state with the
great influx of honest harvest hands,
spread all over the agricultural por-
ton of the state and make them
selves a general nuisance to the peo-
pie, especially of the smaller towns,
where there is little police protec-
ton.
The tourists of the road are un-
usually bold, and think nothing of
virtually taking possession of freight
trains entering the state and by
sheer force of numbers intimidating
train crews. 1t is nothing uncom-
mon for as many as 100 hobos to
ride on single train coming into
South Dakota, refusing to pay fare
or to leave the trains until they reach
their destination.
Villagers Arm With Clubs.
They then take possession of
shady hooks adjacent to the smaller
towns and prove themselves a great
annoyance to housewives by their
frequent trips in search of hand
outs"
Convenient chicken coops also are
raided by them at night, many resi-
dents of the outskirts of towns los
ing practically all their chickens at
the hands of the tourists.
Patience sometimes ceases to be
virtue, and then the angry male resi-
dents of the towns set out on a hobo
chase and clear the disturbers from
the district. At Aberdeen recently
$50 tramps were rounded up at one
time and driven from the town.
One of the most exciting chases
vile, small town in Yankton coun-
ty. Forty hoboes gathered at that
place and the citizens paid little at
tention to them until they had robbed
several stores of small articles.
To meet the situation the CONNER
cial club was called in special session
to consider the matter, and after
much discussion as to arresting the
strangers and placing them upon a
diet of bread and water it finally
was decided to arm with heavy clubs
all the legal voters of the precinct

bles and drive them out of the COM

The tramps needed no expla-

scouts evidently had carefully noted
the unusual activity among the
townspeople, and no sooner had the
skirmishers appeared in the vicinity
of the hobo retreat than the tramps
emerged from their shady hooks and
started on a dead run for cornfields
surrounding the town.

Thirty-Five Million Barrels Produced

Thirty-five million barrels, or 49,
100000 barrels more than in 1908,
is the estimated apple crop of the
United States and Canada this sea-

in the United States today than there
were fifteen years ago, and we are
exporting more of them. In 1895 we
produced 100000 barrels and in
1908 100000 barrels of apples.
In 1902 we exported 100000 bush
els of apples; in 1907 7,S00,0O

ing time he takes his place on the
doorstep and designates where each
member of his congregation shall sit.
Men, women, boys and girls sit in
different parts of the meeting place.
The men sit through the entire ''lect-
ure" with their chins in their palms
and their elbows on their knees.
Some of them sleep through the lect-
ure, which lasts four hours, and
communion, which lasts seven hours.
The minister never breaches. He
simply delivers good heart to heart
talk on the sins and transgressions
of his fellowmen. After the lecture
the congregation enters the house
and partakes of a feast provided by
him. On the same evening the young
people dance until 10 o'clock.
At the communion service each
man washes his neighbor's feet, and
if any member of the clan has done
anything wrong he must expiate it
before he can enter into this cere-
mOny.

and bridegroom are seated beside

flowers or presents are allowed to
be given to the bride. Ribbons are
tabooed by the sect as being loud. -
They marry for love, the courtship
being a short one. Divorce is I'M

If an Amishman decides to move
he notifies his neighbors and they
send two teams to assist him. His
goods are carried in one load. When
he is established in his new home he
must provide a feast.

The Amish peoples houses are al
most devoid of furnishings. A plain
bedstead is all there is in bedroom.
Sheets and pillowslips are unknown.
The windows are devoid of curtains
and the floors without carpets.
The language spoken by the Amish
is a jargon of German and English
concocted by themselves and used by
themselves alone. In spite of their
ignorance and queerness they are a
kindly, sturdy people, loving peace
and quiet, and apparently satisfied
to the fullest extent with the kind
of life they lead.
