I'm here in my iron bed,
All tucked In so snug and tight,
And though sure that last night

To place up in the sky
Past some stars that twinkled bright,
Dodging comets left and right,
Through the moon and near the sun

And the bird which RODE

He was big as all outdoors,
And his talking was in roars;
But wasn't one bit 'fraid,
And right on his back I stayed.
Then man very stout,
Yelled, Low bridget young man, look out!"
AS we passed an iceberg there.
That sailed swiftly tn rough the air;
Then along the milky Way"
This large bird began to stray.

Caught the birds gre at eagle eye,
And once more to me he spoke:

BRlG.-GEN. T. n. BARRY.

Forty-fve years ago little Tom"
Barry was one Of the model boys in
old Greenwich village, now historic
spot in New York City. He had a
little goat time which he used to drive
when he was not studying lessons or
marshalling forces of other boys in
home. He was just 10 years old then.
Because he was the best boy in the
neighborhood school, Congressman
Robert B. Roosevelt-an uncle of
Theodore-learned of his ability and
secured him an appointment to West
Point, to which, after years of sp en-
did service, he has just been appointed
as head officer. 1t was in 1877 that
Barry was graduated as second lieu
tenant of cavalry, and then he just
worked his way through all the
grades Today he is known as the
handsomest man in the army, a dis
tinction we'll founded He is tall,
broad shouldered, hard as nails, with
iron gray hair and mustache. and a
complexion that tells it's own tale of
years on the trail against the Indians
in the west, and other years CT ser
vice in Cuba and the Philippines. He
also has a wide foreign experience,
having been through the Rover War,
and was with the Russians as an OBJ
server in Manchuria.
His promotion in 1908 to be major
general was one of the surprises of
the Roosevelt regime. Well liked as
Barry is in the service, there are still
some sore spots over that
1t is just possible, too, that the in
fantry will not welcome Barry to the
head of West Point for that branch
has long held theary that an in
fantryman ought to be at the head of
the big war school, inasmuch as most
authorities felt that West Point is now
deserving of a general officer at it's
head, for the first time in history. and

HAMILTON, Mont, April 13.-Ed-
ward Barril, the guide who accom-
panied Dr. Frederick A. Cook on his
Mount Mckinley trip and made an af-
fdavit during the polar controversy
that the doctor had never reached the
top of the Alaskan peak, declares that
in his opinion the Fairbanks party.
headed by Thomas Lloyd, never seal
ed the summit. Barrill asserts that 1t
is impossible to climb the mountain at
the time of year the Fairbanks party
claims to have done so, owing to the
condition of the snow and ice. He al
so declares that it is impossible to
reach the summit over any other route
than one started upon by himself and
DR.. Cook
In regard to the story from Fair
banks that no signs of Cooks camp
were found, Barrill said:
1t would be impossible to find any
indication of them until after the first
of June because at the time that the
Fairbanks party claims to have been
up the mountain, the route covered by
myself and the doctor is covered by
deep blanket of snow. There would
be nothing there to mark the camp
except empty oil cans as there is no
timber above the 1900 foot elevation
and we had to carry alcohol in cans
for fuel.
IF the party went out from Fair
banks it either had to cross the di
vide, which is impossible early in the
year, or it had to go around and fol-
low the route followed by DR.. Cook and
myself. / was up this route far
enough to know that it is the only one
that can be followed to the top, if the
top is to be reached. 1t is impossible
to scale the summit from any other
direction because there are sheer pre-
cipices from the other directions that
are absolutely insurmountable."

SOW in close quarters, but she should
not be denied access to the open air
Pigs should not be allowed out in a
cold rain or where they will receive the
shock of cold winds. Where they can
do so without danger. they should be
out in the sun within "a hours after
birth, and after that the best practice
is to let them run in and out at will.
Neither the sow nor very young pigs
should be permitted to run in pasture

tall and wet with rain or heavy dew
Whenever possible the breeder ough'
to inspect personally the animal he Sc
lects as a herd boar, but when unable
to do this and he has 10 competent
representative he should endeavor to
make the best selection possible by
mail by detailing his needs, and the
deficiencies of his soWs. Ordering by
mail should be considered a last resort,
to be done only when. the purchaser

good reasons is unable to give her
personal attention to the selection.
When that is the case the purchase
should be made from a breeder known
to be reputable and the needs. of the
buyer and the price he figures on pay
ing should be definitely stated in the
letter as the attitude of one who ex-
poets the best possible for his outlay.
All men who have had much to d.
with the selling of pure-bred boars are
familiar with the buyer who insists
that you must get him down as low as
you can-he must be cheap, as l have
written to number of other breeders"
A man of this stamp is likely to want
boar of almost impossible makeup
for a very small sum. He is less likely
to do we'll in his purchase than the
man who will frankly state the type
of boar he needs and the amount of
money he can afford or intends to in
vest The chances are, too that the
latter procedure will bring much the
better treatment.

Little pigs may be kept from danger
Of crushing by the mother by having
fender made of a scantling, rail or pole,
securely fastened eight inches from the
wall, and the same distance from the
floor.
The pigs will quickly learn the pro-
lection afforded by this device when
the SOW lies down. Some breeders adj
vocate a narrowing pen not large
enough for the sow to turn around in,
and with walls open eight inches from
the floor so the pigs may run in and
out. A pen of this sort may be made
by combining the SOW at one end of her
regular pen with boards so nailed that
she will not be able to turn around.
For the first weeks of pigs life the
mothers milk is it's drink as we'll as
food, and therefore in caring for suck
ling cows it should be the aim to so
feed them that milk of only medium
richness will be furnished instead of
! limited supply of that which is ex-
tremely rich, the latter being less
healthful and more liable to cause
thumps, scours and unsatisfactory
growth
1t is only a law of nature that pigs
should make more economical gains
through the milk of the dams than in
any other way, and it is also true that
the sow will furnish nourishment for
her young at less cost for the raw ma
terial than any other animal on the
farm. A sows milk is rich in solid mat
ter, which amounts to II to 20 per

Conflict in Sofia

SOFIA, April 1.-THE Blu garian
government is threatened with serious
danger in consequence of the romance
of Saadet Hanum, a beautiful Turkish
girl.
Saadet, the daughter of devout Ma
homedan named Mahamed Hanum
shop several weeks ago when she lift
ed her veil and Jordon Steffanoff, a
bank clerk, who caught a glimpse of
her face, fell in love with her.
Stoffanoff managed to procure an in
terview with Saadet, and found that
she reciprocated his affection. Being
devout Mahomedan, she at first refused
to marry him. Eventually, however,
her love for Stefanoff come so strong
that she agreed to elope. She left her
home late one night, and went to the
residence of Stefanoff Preparations
were then made for her baptism as
Christian
Father Enraged.
Mohamed Hanum was enraged at his
daughters flight and appealed to the
Turkish representatives at Rustchuk
on the ground that Saadet was not OF
age. and therefore incapable of con-
tracing a marriage without his con-
sent. While the local authorities Were
celebrating on this point the Bulgar-
ian government ordered the arrest of
Saadet, and lodged her in the local
gaol.
This indignity enraged the Turkish
population no less than Stefanoff and
his friends, and a mob attempted to
storm the prison on two occasions. De-

With the advent of April our rainy
season begins. and while the flowers
and trees and grass may be glad OF,
il. vet the humans are not so much
pleased, and particularly do the young
ar kind of humans consider themselves
very much abused because they have
to stay in the house.
All winter long sensible mothers
have allowed them to play outside IN
the cold and the snow, and they can see
no reason why they should stay in just
because a little bit of warm spring
rain happens to come along. Conse-
ouently. dissatisfaction and general
air of su.ky grumpiness prevails IN
the nursery, and mother and nurse are
at their wits end to restore peace and
contentment to their little flock.
There is no reason why rainy day
should be a drag upon either guardian,
if they but knew it, for they should not
constitute themselves amusers, but
merely suggesters. Teach the lit
ones to amuse themselves, according
to the new ideas that you give them,
while you sit by and get your mending
done, or some task that you have re-
served especially for a day of enforced
quiet and solitude.
Let your suggestions have variety
as we'll as novelty, and as soon as you
observe that one amusement is be-
ginning to pail, for your own comfort
see that you have another just as fas-
cinating in reserve.
When the building of block houses,
the cutting. out of paper dolls, and the
drills and battles of toy soldiers have
begun 10 Jose their interest, why not
suggest that a scrap book be started?
Even the youngest could find delight
in helping the older ones to cut out
the pictures and so forth, and to paste
them in the book afterwards
Select things that the older ones
have been learning about in school, or
that they have displayed some parti-
cular interest in. If your boy, for in
stance, seems to have a practical mind
and a learning toward the problems Of
engineering, or if your little girl shows
an interest in the great people of his
tory or of literature, these scrap books
may come to be of immense value in
later years.
Why not suggest to your little girl,
if she is too young for this sort of
thing, that she keep house in book,
and present her with a nice, new
blankbook, a pair of scissors and a bot
tie of paste. Let her furnish her
house from a housekeeping catalog,
and people it from a fashion magazine.
This game should keep her happy for
hours.
The Pencil Game.
To children of the school-going age
the following game should prove quite
fascinating. Each player is given
strip of pasteboard and a pencil, and
is asked to choose a short word and
write it the letters one below the 9TH
err down the left hand margin of the
card
This done, he spells the same word
backwards, and writes the letters re-
versed down the right hand margin

words which begin with the letter at
