LITTLE WILlIE'S BRIGHT IDEA
He Caught Santa, All Right, But Prob.
ably Santa Had His Innings
AfterWard.

A. B. Walkley the dramatic critic of
the London Times, refused, at din
ner at the Union club, to criticise
adversely the New theater of New
York
"To criticise you adversely, at mo-
ment when you are giving a feast in
my honor, would surely be impolitic
on my part" Mr. Walkley said. 81

the Santa Claus of Chelsea.
"A Chelsea artist-you know all
London artists live in Chelsea-rose
in the middle of the night on Christ
mas eve, and in pajamas and bare
feet, proceeded to the coal black room
of his little sons. He had in his arms
toys, sweets and picture books, and
his wife with a glad heart watched
him depart.
But minute after he entered the
boys room he muttered terrible
cry.
John. John, what's the matters?
cried his wife.
ooh he groaned 1--WE caught my
foot in rat trap. "A nice place. he
added, reproachfully, for a rat trap

There, if l didn't forget the
wife exclaimed. Willie told me he
was going to set it to catch SANTA !"

Home Moving Pictures.

In being adapted for the home NOV
ing pictures have entered a new and
very promising stage. A simple ap-
paratus recently patented is described
as only three feet long by one foot
deep. 1t is provided with a ground
glass at one end, on which picture
Sx10 inches in size can be thrown,
but if a larger view is required, the
ground glass can be removed, when
the image will be projected upon a
white sheet or other surface provided,
and will be enlarged more or less,
according to the distance from the
machine of this new screen. Any
convenient light, such as an acetylene
bicycle lamp-will serve for an illu.
mination. 1t is expected that the ap-
paratus will be made in a variety of
styles, from a cost of dollar or two
to quite expensive outfits, and the
spools of film, lasting two to three
minutes are to be furnished at prices
comparable to those of photograph
records Freedom from risk of fire
is claimed, as the film is heated much
less than by the powerful lights nee.
essary for the larger machines.

Wildcat Meat for Fighters.

Wildcat meat is at premium In
the Chinese quarters of San Francisco
as a result of the strife between the
zee family and the On Tick Tong
which has brought about six murders
in or near San Francisco since No
vember
There is a superstitious belief among
the Chinese that if their warriors are
fed on the flesh of the wildcat they
will acquire the ferocity of the beast
and their fighting efficiency will be
much improved. The butchers of the
quarter are driving a thriving trade in
wildcat among the two clans now at
war-Fur News.

A LITTLE Rock newspaper favors
the state paying its convicts for tneif
labor. in order that they may have
something with which to support
their families. 1t is unfortunately
true that the families of many con-
yicts suffer from privations because
tbev are denied any return from the
labor of the prisoners, but we do not
believe the state of Arkansas is ready
to assume the support of these unfor-
tunate families. Such policy, If car
ried to its logical conclusion, would
bankrupt the state. For instance,
probably one-half of the states con-
victs are serving terms of imprlson-
ment upon convictions of homicide.
What. then, about the families of the
men whom these convicts have killed?
They, too, are deprived of the support
of their bread-winner and there is not
for them the hope of his return. If
the state must support the convict's
family, why should it not also support
the family whom the convict's act
has made destitute? 1t is pitiable
fact that when one takes the life of
his fellow-man, one cannot, even by
laying down his own life, bear more
than a small portion of the suffering
which his act has brought about.

THE Log Cabin Democrat was loath
to believe at the time it was announc-
ed. that Prof. J. H. Hinemon would
make speeches in the interest of Can
didate Kavanaugh. Prof. Hinemon
made his race two years ago on the
issue of statewide prohibition and if
apparently sincere advocate OF that
policy. Kavanaugh's platform is, Il
believe that statewide prohibition is
unAmerican in spirit and unDemo-
cratic in principle" We are sincere
ly glad to know that Prof. Hinemon
is not stultifying himself by support
ing an open advocate of the whiskey
interests.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SILAGE

CBY PROF y. II OTIS UNIVERSITY
OF WISCONSIN,
OF the various feeds which are the
most palatable corn silage is without

and beef cattle and also for horses,

In combination with alfalfa or clio

for grain. silage furnishes an espe-
cially good ration. all grown on the
farm and cheaper than mill feeds
The Importance of palatability cannot
be overestimated. as it increases the
amount of feed eaten and, when prop
erly assimilated. the more the animal
eats the larger product 1t will return.
A ton OF mixed hay occupies 400
cubic feet OF space and eight tons OF
corn silage can be put in the same
amount OF room. The ton of mixed
hay contains about $50 pounds OF di-
gestible dry matter. while eight tons
OF silage contain 1850 pounds OF dry
matter. This one point of the eco

The use Of silage for fattening beef
cattle has been tested at a number OF
experiment stations and by stockmen
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer il was found
that silage fed steers sold at s4.95 per

brought only $40 per 100 pounds. a
gain Of 25 cents in favor OF silage fed
animals. II was found that for every
