though volumes of speculation have been written,
the world knows almost nothing. From his youth
he seemed to prefer that everything touching his
inner self should be shrouded, though he was
nothing 1oath to demand proper recognition for
the acts which he performed for his countrys
good.
There have never been lacking insinuations
that the real reason for the admiraTs reticence
from his desire to hide certain things which
had been said touching his parentage. 1t was
commonly reported at the time that John Paul
Jones, though born to the family of John Paul,
thrifty Scotch gardener at Arbigand on the Sol
way Firth, in reality the son of Lord Selkirk,
upon whose estate Gardener Paul delved. Care
full Inquiry has disproved the scandal. Jennie
Macduff, the mother Of the naval hero and the
wife of Gardener Paul, was woman Of charac-
ter, possessed in full measure of the homely do
nestle virtues
It must be said here that the American ad-
miral added the name Jones to his family name
of Paul at the time when he first made applica-
ton for commission in the American navy. Why
the name was added, though speculation has been
rife for more than century, no one to this day
knows. The boy Paul, the youngest of five sons,
was born in little cottage standing in glade
near where the NTH comes flowing into the Sol
way. When only twelve years OF age he was
apprenticed to a ship merchant at White Haven,
village where years afterward the people fright
ened their children into obedience by the men,
ton of 1.-The demon, Paul JONES'"
The future admiral's first voyage took him
to the Rappahannock river Of America. Twice
or three times the trip was repeated, and finally,
owing to the death of his master, the apprentice
was released from his engagement at the age
of sixteen. An elder brother had settled the
banks of the American river, and with him the
boy lived and studied for time. He again
went to sea about the time that he attained his
majority sailing for Scotland for'mast hand
in a brig. On the voyage the captain and mate
died, and the crew placed Jones in command. On
his arrival In Scotland the owners of the vessel
gave him the berth of captain.

LIND WOULD REFLECT cLAPP.
Progressive Spirit Appeals to the Ex.
Governor,

Albert Lea.-1n notable address
made in the city of Albert Lea, John
Lind declared himself in favor of the
reelection of Senator Moses e. Clapp
and announced he was not candidate
for that or any other Office. The dec
laration in favor Of Senator Clapp was
made as part of Mr.. Lfnd's progressive
spirit Of the Republican party with tho
Democratic movement.
The address was the first delivered
by John Lind in the present campaign.
It was made in the Broadway theater
where an audience which filled the
lower part of the house had gathered.
It was not an enthusiastic audience.
but it listened intertly.
Former Governor Lind's argument in
general was an effort to attach the
stigma of stand-pattism upon Republic
canism in general. He said that tho
progressive movement was alive in the
land, in the Democratic south as we'll
as in the Republican north. He used
Congressman James A. Tawney as an
example of the fate that Is due to meet
administration of President Taft, using
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill as an ex-
ample.
No Benefit to Farmer.
Taking up the tariff bill, he analysed
the schedules, finally declaring that the
farmer derived no benefit from the tar
if.
He did not specifically approve or
disagree in a general way with the
tariff position taken by Judge Buck,
the Democratic candidate for congress
in this district. Pursuing this line of
argument, the speaker took up state
issues and charged Governor Eberhart
with being a stand-patter, attempting
to prove this by the selection of Lieu
tenant Governor Edward E. Smith as
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee. He charged that the
lieutenant governor was the stand-pat
leader of the senate and took up Sec
tons Of the governors keynote speech
at Mankato to show that the executive
has stand-pat leanings.
He referred especially to the primary
law in which the Governor advocated
changes in the law to make it more Of
a party verdict and to lessen the ex-
penses to candidates. The speaker
| took advantage of this to furnish an
| opening for talk on county option,
which he urged as only right.

been made over into a manof-war, and placed
under the command OF Commodore Hopkins. To

John Paul Jones physically was not heroic
looking figure. He was only five feet tall and
of light weight, but In his fighting qualities his
ounces counted like other mems pounds. His
face was grave and thoughtful and his eyes were
as sharp as his cutlass The fleet in which Jones
sailed under Commodore Hopkins was miser
able affair, and Hopkins was the weakest of COM
handlers. Jones succeeded in inducing his supe-
rior to sail for Nassau where under the direction
of the Junior officer vast amount of British
stores were seized. On the way back to the
United States the British frigate Glasgow was
sighted but it escaped the American fleet owing
to the poor seamanship of Hopkins court of
inquiry held, and it was determined that if
Jones' suggestions had been carried out the Glas-
gov could have been captured or sunk. Hopkins
felt disgraced and became bitter enemy of his

Jones, as captain of the

SOUTHERN BREEDERS GIVE
MOST FOR THE MONEY.

The Great Growth Of the Industry in
the South-How to Start With
Pure-Breds.
Messrs. Editors: Do not spend
the early and best season deciding
to start with pure bred poultry, but
decide at the earliest possible mo-
your purpose. Get the best winter
laying breed obtainable. Secure
enough stock or eggs so the mongrels
may all be disposed of after the first
season, so the new breed may have
free range much or all of the year.
l have found nice profits in raising
early market chicks, and | believe
that every farmers wife could do the
same if she had good winter layers
and mothers, SO chicks could be ready
to market in March and April when
worth 80 to 40 cents per pound
Many women may find time in the
early spring to raise some market
chicks who do not have the capital
to invest. nor the time to devote
which is required to secure and to
sell fancy" poultry. So l would
urge every one who reads this to de-
decide at once that no breed which
does not lay eggs when they are
worth 35 cents per dozen, and raise
chicks when they are worth the same
per pound. will serve his purpose any
longer

1t is very probable that one OF the
causes why our correspondent does
not get eggs in winter is because her

should not be confined to 1t too much.
In fact, exercise Is essential Hens
that are fat are not in laying condi-
ton. They have either been fed i'm
properly or are not getting sufficient
exercise.
Some corn may be fed, and II
enough animal feed and grazing is
supplied, possibly corn alone might
do for the grain feed, but some other
grain feed, like wheat, or perhaps
cottonseed meal. should be used to
give proper variety and balance TO
the ration.
Pullets or young hens are more apt
to lay during the winter than old
hens. and this may be one OF the
causes for our correspondent getting
no eggs during winter.

Possibly the hens are able to get
some other feed for themselves and
are managed so that exercise is also
taken. To produce winter eggs the
hens should have some other feed
than corn. Green feed OF some sort
will be found of great value. A patch
of rape. rye or some other winter
growing plant is most desirable. The
absence of this green feed makes
