If You Own Cows

it will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
ball. Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
sOmely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. It's
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis.
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
DO cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

labored with him over this open manner,
but the mind he sought to work upon
was as receptive To political hypocrisy
as wall of granite. 1t was this extra
ordinary rectitude which made the duke
powerful an aid to Bismarck In the
days that followed. The Man of Iron
needed this sort of character as a cover
and buckler to his own Duplicates.
Herbeck was an excellent foil. He was
as silent and secretive sand. He
moved. as it were. In circles. thus al

was tall. angular. with a thin. immobile
countenance. well guarded by his gray

Half a dozen highly dramatic personal

OF historic military campaigns. here take
the form of one-act plays. The civil war
in England, the Cromwellian invasion of
Ireland, the early days of the French re-

wars, make the sinister settings of these
gloomy pictures of human passions and
human sufTer.nss. Whether measured by
the excellence of their literary dramatic

Cleopatra Buried in Paris.
From the New York sun.


The discovery has been made that Cleo
patra, Queen of Egypt. lies buried in
Paris, stones throw from the stock
change. In vouching for the truth of this
revelation an anonymous writer states
that under glass case in the cabinet Of
medals of the Bibiotheque Rationale is
an Egyptian sarcophaeus and Egyptolo-
gists are positive that the inscriptions on
it prove it 10 have contained the body Of
Cleopatra The sarcophagus was brought
from Egypt TO Paris more than forty
years ago by a French sayant, who
placed it in the national library. After
some months il was found impossible t.
preserve the mummy which it contained
and the question arose TO what should
be done with the remains of the Queen
OF Egypt. 1t was at last decided TO bury
her quietly without pOmp or publicity In
the old bit of garden inclosed by the Ma
tional Library building, where she was
laid in secret forty years ago.
