II can see the gray-haired man
who died at Redding today as he
stood at the window of the old Han
nibal Courier Office fifty years ago,
his sleeves rolled up, leaning on his
case, bargaining with me and his
younger brother, Henry, for mite
of boat that lay down at the riv-
er's edge. can see the shocky hair
and the quizzical gray eyes and the
kindness, yet withal the shrewdness,
that shone from them. The racial
love of adventure was in him, and
the spirit of the river famed it into
flame.
Joe Buchanan was the first boy
to hear the call of the river, and he
ran away to become a cabin boy.
Sam followed soon, and the story of
his life as a pilot is the property of
the world. l cannot let the OppOr-
tunity pass to pay tribute to his
brother, Henry, wholly unlike him in
disposition, but one of the brightest
and most lovable men l ever met.
He was killed in a steamboat explo-
sion on the lower river, near Men,
phis, and the most beautiful thing
his brother ever wrote is in refer
ence to him.

myself and Bob Bodine are left.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Two
weeks ago, state candidate sent
us 81, and notice of his candidacy
for state Office. 1t was not really
sufficient to pay the bill as ordinary
advertising is paid at regular rates,
but we published the card because
we ars quite sure that he had paid
all he could afford for the service
rendered. Now If he sent similar
announcements to every paper In the
state-as he should do,-then, what
with postage, other expenses and 81,
to each he would expend about 81 900
which would be large share of one
years salary for one insertion Of his
card in each paper in the state.
While this is but one item of his
expense in a political campaign, it is
indicative of the total cost to be a
candidate.

GUINEA FOWL EGG PRODUCER
to Make Harder and Larger
Bird Than Full Blood.

Last spring | undertook to keep an
account of the eggs laid by two Pearl
gnineas and one white guinea hen, |
have 16S eggs to their credit already,
says writer in Country Gentleman.
The two Pearl hens were broken up
and some eggs were lost early in the
season: though they laid nestful OF
eggs and went to setting did not find
the nest and so did not get an account
of them, but feel safe in estimating
40 eggs lost for which I have no ac-
ao:in.. The hens got broken up and in
about three weeks found them with
a nest of 80 eggs. Counting the ones
lost at 40, this brings my account up
to 20S eggs for three hens. feel sure
that the two Pearl hens laid four-fifths
of the 208 eggs, which would make
them SO eggs each. The white hen
did not lay many eggs. expect to
get at least 40 eggs yet before cold
weather.
Guipta hens will usually lay from
April until late in October and if kept
broken up when they get broody. they
will lay nearly every day. The white
hens do not seem to be nearly as
good egg producers as the Pearls, at
least my white hens have not done as
good business as the Pearl hens. A
cross between the two breeds seems
to make a harder and larger guinea
than full blood of either.
