TRAINING ANIMALS.

you wouldn't believe how fast you
have to work to train an animal"
said the man who has broken every
thing from elephants to geese the
other day. why, l can tell just
how many hours it is going to take
to break in any kind of animal you
might mention" says the Evening
Post.
"A woman came to me the other
day and said: I want trained
goose for my magic act. How much
will you charge me to break one"
Sixty dollars said l.
Well, how do you figure that
out? she asked.
"'Why, it's very simple 1 said.
It's one dollar an hour, and it will
take me just sixty hours
Eyes, sir, l can train goose-that
is, to follow me around and do sim
pie tricks-in sixty hours: pig in
thirty hours, and so on. But as for
peafowl or a guinea hen, they can't
be trained in a hundred years.

dogs; that don't take half as long to
do as people suppose. No, sir, a man
with an animal show has got to
work fast. Why, maybe the boss
comes around on Monday and says:
Here, here's a bunch of six dogs;
now make an act out of it for next
Mondays show"
There are six green dogs to make
into troupe in week. Can't be
done, you say? Sure it can; one dog
one trick-one day-that's the prin-
siplt, and you can do 1t too. Each
dog will learn trick each day all
right; one will learn back somer
sault, one front somersault, one to
walk on his hind legs, one on his
front legs, one to roll over. and SO
on. Then by the end of the week
you've got a nice little act, and all
the people are exclaiming about
your years of patience and that sort
of stuff. Patience is a good thing,
Of course, but the secret is just
know how That's all"-Newark

Pu2gins. They We're always such
good friends. Only Georgia May.
Florence and links sat in their
places. So Minnie took her place
before them, saying: AS you chill
dren are the best in the class, | will
give you each a half holiday You
may go to the park an swing an
ride on the merrygo-roun An may
be mamma will let me so with you.
I'll run an ask her"
Then, while Hero barked in the
yard and Puggins and Tabby romped
in the sewing room, and Georgia
May, Florence and links sat very
quietly in their chairs Minnie ran
downstairs to ask her mammals per-
mission to go to the park.
'Oh, is school out?" asked mamma,
interestedly.
We'll. it's this way, mamma" ex-
planned Minnie. Hero ran off to
play hockey and Puggins and Tabby
are making such a fuss in the room
that the other pupils can't study. So
I'm giving the good pupils half
holiday and 1 want to go to The park
with them. May -"
Certainly, little teacher" laughed
mamma. And there is grandpapa
on the porch just getting ready to
take a walk Run and ask him to
go with you, dearie.'
When Minnie asked grandpapa to
take a walk with her and tho thraa
we'll behaved pupils he consented
very readily.
'Of course he said Il shall feel
much honored to be an escort to
the new kindergarten teacher Come
right along. And-What do you think
Of that" And grandpapa pointed
at old Hero. who was coming at full
speed across the lawn. He knew
there was to be walk somewhere,
and as was his habit, he wanted to
go along
Let him come with us, granpapa,'
said Minnie. He'll guard us from
harm
And away they went, grandpapa,
Minnie, Hero and the three dolls
OF course, the three dolls were push
ed along in their carriage, and Min
ME it was who looked after them.
And so the first day of Minnie's
school ended very pleasantly, even
though some of the pupils had be-
haved in rather an unruly Manner

Doubling Her Capacity.

A dozen maids ranged against the

miliarity with twins. Finally one girl
produced documentary evidence that
for the last five years most of her
waking moments had been spent in
the compiny of twins. She got the job.
When she reported for work in the
afternoon she was introduced to but
one infant.
Where is the other one?" she
asked.

we should gloat over a book, be rapt

busiest, kaleidoscope dance of i'm.
ages, incapable of sleep, or of con.
tinuous thought. The words, if the

THE FARMERS TRUST.
Some Figures Show How 1t Is Grow
inq.

ing.
The current dispatches covering the
proceedings of the convention or the
Farmers Union, at St. Louis, uld not
begin to convey an adequate idea OF
the proportions and Importance OF
the gathering and of the organization
at large The entire country, as 1t
is easily recognized, is vitally inter-
ested in what the 100000 banded
stalwart farmers belonging to this
nationwide organization have done,
what they expect to do and how
they expect to accomplish their ends.
Within the brief period of six years,
as set forth by the report OF the statls-
teal committee, the union has estab-
lished or acquired by purchase 5000
cotton gins, $500 cotton and cotton
seed warehouses, 500 fruit packing
plants, and has a representative IN
every important cotton market IN the
world, twenty banks OF its own.
thousands of grocery stores to hight
the exactions of the grocery trust,
200 tobacco warehouses, 300 produce
stations, 500 grain warehouses and
elevators, and other hundreds each
of creameries, Touring mills and Oil
mills.
Allied with the banks of the south,
the union has for the last three years
fixed the farm selling price of cotton.
Last fall for example, the union fixed
the price of September cotton at Is
cents, October at / i and November at
Is, and got it. When the tendency
in the great markets presaged
slump, the members of the union stop
ped selling until the shortened sup
ply caused a restoration Of prices to
the point fixed upon. The statistical
committee holds that this manoeuvre
saved the growers $3,O00,O0O.
Although frank to a surprising de-
gree as to some of the activities OF the
union, the statistical report is signiti-
cantly silent in the matter OF disclos-
ing the quantities Of cotton, grain and
cattle the 100000 members are hold
ing back for higher prices. However.
it is made to appear that so far the
union has sought mainly to obtain
what is considered a fair price for
cotton and to eliminate middlemen by
securing control of groceries, ware
houses, mills and other utilities, to
which heretofore they have paid trib-
ute.
1t is easy to see that, buoyed up
by the measure of success achieved
in a brief period, they contemplate
an expansion of endeavOrs, which
inevitably points to a Capitalization
of the organization into a gigantic
trust, the forerunner of which we see
in the Elgin butter trust. Its methods
if not already in violation of the spirit
of the Sherman law, at least suggest
a point of destination that will bring
it in conflict with the restrictions OF
that measure. Perhaps it is not be-
yond the scope of the Lodge COM
mittee's authority to inquire into what
the farmers union has done, what it
expects to do, and how.-Washington
