THE SHERMAN HOUSEHOLD.
Vice Presidents Wife Not Troubled
by the Domestic Problem.

81 was visiting once at the Utica
home Of Vice President Sherman" ,"
says Washington man In Good
Housekeeping, "when l b.undered
into a sitting room l had not seen
before. Mr.. Sherman was with me
and l remarked or what & coSy apart
ment 1t was.
This Is the servants sitting
room,' he explained My wife insists
on one thing no matter what size of
home we occupy-the people who
work for us must be comfortably
housed
"Afterward," added the Washing
ton man, 81 had peep into an i'm
maculate kitchen. 1t was not only spa
cious and perfectly equipped, but 1t
was cheerful place to work In and 1t
had mighty pleasant outlook.
Mrs. Sherman Is one of the few
hOusekeepers who confess to know
ing little from experience Of a domes-
tic problem. All that deprives her
Of servant Is death or wedding.
Last fall while the Shermans were in
search Of a Washington home some
one asked the Vice President why he
did not rent the splendid house Of
fered him.
One reason he explained, was
because my wife was not satisfied
with the accommodations it offered
for servants. 1t was well equipped
for entertaining and suitable for our
own wants, but men and women who
have given us years Of loyal service
deserve something better than being
housed like cattle. My wife has al
ways lived up to one theory-that a
faithful laborer Is worthy Of little
more than just wages" "

This contractor got results.

Some years ago contractor build
ing railroad in warm climate was
troubled great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations Of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water Almost instantly
all signs Of stomach disorders passed
and his men showeda decided improve
ment in strength andspirits. This con-

EDITOR-PNEACHER MURDERED.
Mission Worker Shot Down on I.cav-
ing Church by Crazy Man.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 10.-A SER
mon on martyrdom, in which Frank
Skala, an editor and prominent mis-
sion worker, had declared himself
willing to lay down his life for the
Christian cause, was followed to-day
by his as. assination in a highly sem
sational manner and the shooting
down Of a fellow chu rch- lea der, John
Gay.
Arm-in-arm the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregation
al church in Woods Run, a suburb, at
the head of more than 100 foreign
ers. A raggcdly dressed and collar
lessman poked his way through the
crowd, and when he was about a
step behind the leaders, he pressed a
revolver to Skala'S side and fired
twice, Skala falling dead. Gay. who
threw up his right hand as If TO ward
off the weapon, was struck first in
the thumb and then second bullet
was buried In his head. He fell un-
conscious across the body Of his col
league.
The madman was Jian RADIO witcA
a character known to most Of the
mission for his shiftless habits, slov-
enly dress and radical opinions. A
moment before he had meekly read
from Juvenile leaflets in the Sunday
school led by Skala. Previously he
had sat in a back pew Of the church
during the regular sermon and at the
commencement services Skala had
shaken his hand In greeting. In all
this Radowitch had given no warn
ing OF his murderous intention.
There was no policeman in sight
when the murder was done, the
church people were too terrified to
grab the assassin. and after flourish
ing his weapon and stamping his
foot on the bodies he made off from
the avenue to the Fort Wayne rail
road tracks and disappeared

Much sickness is reported among
mules and horses throughout the
county as result Of feeding bought
corn. The money that Is paid for
Western corn is a heavy tax on the

Of live stock Is added to this, the
burden becomes heavier than the av-

CROPS AROUNDCARSON
ARE NOT total LOSS

Carson, N. D., Aug. "a drive in
the country surrounding Carson re-
veals the fact that this part of the
Estate is not so bad as the long dry
weather would cause one to antici-
pate. The late rains have done a
world of good. In many instances
where the grain looks as though it
was burned up, the stalk of the grain
is nice and green and the heads are
we'll filled, the berry being nice and
plump. OF course there is not going
to be bumper crop, nor good crop,
but there will be more grain in the
country than many people have been
figuring on. Taken all in all, and the
conditions prevailing in other states,
this part of North Dakota has much
for which to be thankful, for it is
admitted by all who are travelling
through the country that the best
crops in this part of the state are
those contiguous to Carson.

PRAIRIES FOR FOOD

Schafer, N. D., Aug. 2.-Robert
'Cochrane reports that the wild ducks
Matched at the big lake this spring,
and now about half grown, are running
about over the prairies in search of
food. The lakes which have furnished
food in abundance for them for years
have almost completely dried up. This
is a condition that has not existed for
a number of years. The lakes have
been known breeding place for ducks
since the earliest settlements, and
they were always to be found there in
great numbers. 1t is an easy matter
and it is said that the settlers in that,
vicinity have tried it to go out with
sticks and slaughter the young ducks
for food.

SCHAFER People HAPPY
AIPR0SPECTS OF Train

Schafer, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE crew of
been working in the county for the
greater part of the summer have
pitched their camp at the Madison
ranch near the mouth of Cherry creek.
The preliminary survey is about COM
pleted through the county, with the
exception of a few miles on Cherry
creek below town. The line is now
located from the mouth of the Little
Missouri to within few miles of the
mouth of Cherry creek.
The proposed division is on line
beginning with the point where the
THE Eleventh Standard parallel, on the
boundary line between Billings and
McKenzei counties; thence north and
along the west bank Of the Little Mis-
souri, river to point where said river
intersects with the range line between
ranges 80 and 100 west; thence north
Little Missouri river intersects with
along the range line between SO and
100 west, to the Missouri river. This
will divide the county about equally on
a line running north and south.
The new territory thus created will
be known as Yellowstone country, pro-
viding the voters deem it best to divide
Mckenzie county at the polls this fall.
Missouri to within a few miles of the
mouth of Cherry creek.
The surveyors expect to pitch their
next camp at Schafer in a few days,
complete the preliminary work and
continue to locate the line up Cherry
creek and on west through the county
until they receive orders from head
quarters to discontinue the work.
The fact that preliminary survey
was made through the county, over
practically the same route now being
located some four years ago, and that
the line is now established is evidence
that the Northern Pacific contemplates
the extension of the Turtle Lake |
branch to Glendive, Mont. Just when |
the line will be built is of course a |
matter of conjecture, but the consen-
sus of opinion is that steps will be
taken toward construction within the |
next two or three years, as the gov |
eminent grant for a right of way will
terminate at that time.
The crew of Northern Pacific sur
veyors that started out from Stanton |
several months ago have been ordered
to stop work and return to headquar
tiers. They have completed the survey |
from Stanton, to which point the grade |
is about completed, up Knife river and
Spring creek to the Little Missouri |
river, where they have connected near
the southwest corner of the Bethold
Indian reservation. with the line now
being located. This would lead one to
believe that the north and south line |
out of Mandan would also continue
through the county over the route now
being surveyed.
With these two extensions headed
for the only practical route through |
the Bad Lands, one can readily assume /
that Schafer will not long remain
without a railroad. 81, /
The surveyors report that II rattle
snakes could be substituted for steel
rails there are almost enough that they
had killed lying along the survey to
complete the forty odd miles along the
Little Missouri. s.
