There are other exercises which are

breathing Is a much-neglected and most

Of Tippecanoe on November Z, 1871, was
owing to English intrigues.
Adding this TO the old Revolutionary
"reminiscences of British oppression, 1t
was not unnatural that the national
wrath should eventually turn against
Great Britain. Not only the regular army
was increased, but the President was
authorized to accept and employ $1,000
volunteers. Then a bill was introduced
providing for the building of ten new
frigates. The war spirit in the country
gradually rose and manifested itself
noisily in public meetings, passing resolu-
tons. and memorializing Congress.
This spirit was increased in intensity
by a sensational exposure. a batch of

PRIESTS ARE GOOD FARMERS
Tfappist Monks in Canada Have Mace
for Themselves a Reputation
for Excellence.

Scattered throughout Canada are
many curious religious communes, es-
p~ecially in the province of Quebec, but
there is none more curious or interest
ing than the settlements Of the Trap
pist monks.
This brotherhood has three settle
ments in the dominion-in Nova Scotia
1t Tracadie. in wilds of northern Que
hec, near the Lake st. John district,
and on the banks of the Ottawa river
not far from Montreal. One of the
most interesting of the m~onasteries
is that neal the village of Okla, on the
Ottawa river.
The Trappist is a farmer as we'll as
a priest, and the Okla farm Of 800
acres is one of the best titled in that
part of Canada. All kinds of grain are
grown, an excellent vegetable garden
is maintained, and a large orchard n
vineyard add picturesqueness to the
rural scene. But the Trappist is a
stock grower as well as an agricul-
turist. There are few finer thorough
bred stocks than the Percheron stall
lions and huge bulls kept there. The
order owns at Okla several hundred
cows, 300 sheep and 35 horses.
Adjoining the barn is the dairy,
where a fancy cheese is produced that
has a high reputation in the Montreal
market, as have the claret and wines
produced from the vineyards.-Busy

Swarminu Bees, Scout.

Swarms of bees are sometimes com-
PEELED to take refuge in very remark
able shelters. A peculiar and in
structive instance was observed by
the writer in the spring of 1903. The
swarm few over a large vineyard
which contained low buildings. One
OF these buildings was constructed Of
hollow concrete blocks. The swarm
flew directly toward a small hole in
one of the blocks and disappeared in
the interior. No doubt the swarm
had rested on a tree or shrub on the
preceding day and had sent out scouts
to seek a home.
The scouts found the little hole
leading into the great cavity OF the
concrete block, and reported their dis
covery to their comrades. This case
furnishes indisputable proof that

true to his friends and magnan-
imous to his enemies; as gentle
as a child yet a giant in the dis
charge of duty; a Bacon in
intellect and a wifi in wit, and
yet at home and perfectly under
stood in the humblest hut; a
leader of the profession in the
United States, yet as modest and
unassuming as the least. A man
proud of the name he bore, with
a high sense of honor, and a
great soul burning with love for
his profession and his fellowman.
Second. that the State has
lost one of it's leading physicians,
and the sick, suffering and
poverty-stricken one of their
most sympathetic friends.
Third. That we miss his genial

wise council and are sorely

life; and
Fourth. That we extend to
his young wife and little girl

Secretary Of Agriculture Honors
the Boys.

There was an interesting oc-
casion in the office of the Secre-
tary of Agricultur December
Ia, 1909, at $50 o'clock. Secre-
tary Wilson presented diplomas
to Bascomb Usher of South
Carolina, Dewitt Lundy of Miss
issippi, Elmer Halter of Arkan-
sas, and Ralph Bellwood of Vir-
ginia.
These were among the IL. 500
in the Boys Demonstration Work
in the South who planted one
acre of corn apiece and worked
it under Instructions from the
United States Department of
Agriculture. DR.. S. A. Knapp,
who has charge of the Farm
Demonstration Work, offered a
trip TO Washington to the boy in
Mississippi who should get the
best results. The State Bankers
Association in Arkansas offered
a similar prize in that State.
Citizens OF South Carolina and
Virginia duplicated the offers
there.
The above named boys, all un-
der eighteen years of age, visited
the Department of Agriculture
and other interesting sights of
the Capital, and were received
by the President.
Thousands of dollars worth of
prizes have been offered this
year to these Boys Clubs in the
South by merchants, Boards of
Trade and public spirited citizens
generally, under regulations
furnished by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
These regulations do not encour-
age freak yields, but are drawn
to encourage profitable farming.
The basis of awards rests on
showing of profits, written rec
ords, exhibits of ears and stalks,
and yield per acre. The greatest
yield does not get the prize in
every case, Still there were
some fine yields this year. The
prize winner from South Caro-
lima made 152 J bushels per acre;
a boy in Mississippi made LAT
bushels; a boy in North Carolina
made 1876 bushels. and the Vir
GINA winner 122 bushels. More
than fifty boys made over 100
bushels per acre. In severai
counties no boy fell below sc
bushels per acre, and the club
average was about 60.
Agreements are being made
in all of the Southern States to-
send the prize winners to Wash
ington next year.
In a brief address to the boys,
Secretary Wilson declared that
they and the boys engaged ir
like work are 1.-THE only hope
we have for the continued great
ress and prosperity of the
country" He pointed out that
the South now, in agriculture
and in manufacturing, was
p.ospering as never before, be
cause the men and women OF
the South had put into the WORK
their own energy and ability ano
in no sense were dependent up
en- the capital or industry OF
people from other parts of the
country.

ed, ARE unique. No boys ever
have received a similar recog-
milton of their merit. Nothing |

A VALUABLE COW

If cow gives 175 pounds of butter
in year is worth SEQ, how much is
a COW worth that gives $50 pounds of
butter in a year?
Suppose that butter will average 25
cents the year round, and it will do
better, and that the feed is worth $40
for the year The first COW would give
IA return Of $43.75, less 40 for feed
would leave a profit of 1915, counting
that the milk calf and manure pays
for the labor
The second COW would give return
of $3.50 for butter and would give
at least 1000 pounds of milk which
at 20 cents per hundred pounds, and
1t is worth more for feed, would bring
IS. The calf from the good COW is
also worth more, but let that go. The
return would be $3.50 less $40 for feed
or a profit OF $3.50 on the same basis
as the other COW made profit of 1915.
1t would take practically fifteen ITS
pounds cows TO make as much profit
as the one $50 pound COW
1878 is 6.2 per cent on $50 and $3.50
is 6.2 per cent on $S95.16. on the basis
of percentage income, when the It's
pound cow is worth $50, the $50 COW
Is worth $S95.16. The keeping of the
cows should be looked at from the
business standpoint. The poor COW is
dear at any price but the good COW is
usually not rated at her real value.

HOTEL SYSTEM
WITHOUT TIPS
SYSTEM OF PAYING TIPS Is OVER
WORKED AND THERE SHOULD
BE SOME KIND OF A REFORM
IN THIS DIRECTION LONDON
No-TIP HOTEL.

Many good men with pure motives
tip walters and porters around the.
hotels and other public places. Others
givethese fees from pure selishness.
In either case the result is the same.
Tipping takes the mana cement Of the
establishment out of the hands of the
proprietors and leaves IL to the serv-
ants to select those whom they
choose to. care for. This, too when
every patron is supposed to pay the
same price for the service. The evil
is worldwide and has resisted all eff
forts to cut it out.
1t is fact that some (not alb pro-
prietors look to these tips as payment
in part for tine service they are to
receive from their help. Surely no
good man wants to encourage any
such practice. Nor will a fair minded
man be willing to deprive others of
that which is justly theirs, which he
does when he tips a waiter and
thereby causes this servant to neglect
another guest Frequently this other
guest Is a lady, and then the act of
the man becomes ungallant to say
the least of It.
The editor was recently at a public
eating place in this city and it was
soon noticeable that tipping was the
go. Watching tn ewaiters, it was easy
to see where a tip had been given or
where / was expected. Not believing
in this practice, the editor waited his
turn, which came quite out Of turn.
Afterwards a waiter did come and the
dinner brought had none Of the choice
pieces. Assuming that he was from
the backwoods and not on to the city
ways, this scribe led the waiter to
think that still a tip might be posi-
BILE, so he got very busy at last. But
when no tip was in sight the waiter
came out with a blunt request for a
special reward for services he had not
rendered
The matter was reported to the
proprietor, who replied that he was
grateful for the information and would
do his best to break up the practice
among his help. OF course It is a
very difficult thing for the manager to
do, since it is usually done on the sly.
But the proprietor can place a notice
in his office requesting that guests
will not tip the servants, for in so
out of his hands and renders him
powerless to give good service to his
patrons. Then If he will keep his
eyes open, and his ears as well, he
can very largely cut out the evil prac,
tice and secure the everlasting graft
tude Of his patrons.
"No-tip" Hotel and the Result
In Europe the tipping practice is
even worse than in this country
Tourists go provided to be pulled on
every occasion in many of the coun-
tries Even in some churches one
has to tip to get a good seat. While
| England is by no means as bad as
some other places still it is very COM
mon there. Something like a year
since the "No-tip hotel was. started
on the Strand in London. The man
ager reports that not one room has
been vacant for a single day in his
hotel; but, more, people are turned
away every night for want of ac-

SHOW HISTORIC Scene
Savoy Has Some Unusually interesting
Pictures This Week-Aet Pleased
Minneapolis.

In comparing the United States with
European civilizations the remark Is
often made that America has no
ruins While this is largely true we
have, however, many spots in our land
which are Of absorbing interest. Such
a one is Deerfield, Mass, where in
1704 the Indians and Puritans pulled
off bloody war. Coupling the history
of the past with the present day is
a monument of flesh and blood named
George Sheldon, man of wonderful
intellect, now in his 92nd year. In a
motion picture produced by the Edison
Co., and which will be shown at the
Savoy theatre the first half of this
week Mr.. Sheldon appears and tells
by gesture the story of Ononka's Vow.
1t is strong in dramatic feature as
well as historical lore and will be re-
ceived with interest by the patrons of
the new theatre.
Another subject entitled A Modern
Knight Errant, is the story of coll
lege youth who fares forth into the
world in search of adventure and finds
it, The picture includes a warm hand
to hand encounter in which a village
bully finds that science is valuable
asset to nerve and incidentally gets
the drubbing of his life. OF course
our hero doesn't overlook pastoral
belle who binds up his knuckles and
so war, love and new mown hay are
happily comingled.
Frank Coburn and Miss Lillian Pear
son will present sure cure for tho

act was we'll received at the Southern

is worthy of local interest. The Savoy
