Life and work of Omaha Newspaper
Man Narrated I'm st. Paul Pioneer


Under the caption, Just Newspaper
Man." the st. Paul Pioneer Press, on which
several of his long time associates are now
employed, pays the following tribute to the
late S. S. Peters:
S. s. Peters, the Omaha newspaper man
who died in that city Monday, was one Of
the best known and most loved men in the
profession. Though So years old up to the
time of his fatal Illness he asked no favors
from the younger ones OF the profession,
ana covered the assignments as they same
without kick or complaint, and any
time youngster got II into his head 10

As youth he entered the army during
the civil war in an Ohio regiment partici-
Patlng IN the campaign of the army OF the
Potomac. At one time he was orderly for
General Phil Kearney, ana the general sent
him for pair of gloves. The general, being
minus one arm, needed but one glove. He
threw the other one down, and a brother
officer, who was also short a hand, took
the glove, and that is how, Mr.. Peters ex-
planned, he missed having souvenir OF
General Kearney.
The civil war G. r, the spirit Of adven-
ture led him into the regular army and
service on the frontier, being in General
then Colonel, Carringtons command at Fort
Betterman at the time Of the Fettermau
massacre, though on that occasion he was
left at the fort with a handful OF men to
guard the women and children. He was one
of the relief party at the equally famous
"Wagonbox" massacre and first and last
saw more than one mans share Of cam
paigning on the frontier.
Lase-yeai Mr.. Peters and few other sur.
vivors of the old Fetterman command ac-
cOmpanied their old commander, General
Darlington, to the scene OF the famous fight
and enjoyed a pleasant reunion.
From the army he entered the newspaper
field, and among other noted assignments
covered the trial and execution OF Guiteau
the assassin of Garfield, being at that time
on the staff of the Columbus (O) State
Journal. Later he came west. and took vi
a homestead in Nebraska, and finally re-
enterFd the newspaper profession, in which
he ntinued until stricken with his fina

WORLDS TALLEsT WOMAN.

\ charming and kindly dispose
tjon is hidden beneath the somewhat
jmpassiyc demeanor Of Marie Fass-
nauer. the worlds talcst giantess.
Marie has lately arrived in London,
and is now appearing at a variety
hall in the West End. Standing
eight feet high, she claims to be
the taIlest woman in the world.
She has expressed a desire to de-
vote large portion Of her salary to
charity, and, being passionately
fond of children, she employs near
ly all her spare time in knitting
stockings, gloves and mittens for
the little boys and girls of her ma
tive village in Tyrol.
Hereditary tendencies perhaps
account to some extent for the abb
normal growth of this Tyrolese
giantcss. Her grandfather was a
giant. although her brothers and
sisters. ON the other hand, are all
Of normal proportions Curiously
enough. Marie ceased to grow when
she was Is years Of age; she is now
q. and is extremely intelligent.
The appetite of Marie is quite as
remarkable as her size. Her first
English breakfast consisted OF IA
boiled eggs, three pints Of tea. two
ounces of butter and half a dozen
rolls.

RED SHIRT AN ACCIDENT
Uniform Made Popular by Carabaldi
Was Not the Result Of Pre-.
arranged Plan.

The most popular uniform of its
day-perhaps Of any day-in Eu-
rope was the Garibaldi shirt, whose
prosaic origin was little suspected
by its adorers. In note to Mr..
'Freyelyan's Garibaldi's Defense Of
the Roman Republic" this origin is
explained by Admiral Wilmington
Ingram, who was in Montevideo in
1916, when and where the uniform
was first assumed "Its adoption
was caused by the necessity of cloth
ing as economically as possible the
newly-raiscd Garibaldi legion, A
liberal offer having been made to
the government to sell at reduced
prices Il stock of red wooden shirts
that had been intended for the Bue-
nos Ayres market-now closed
through the blockade-it was
thought TO good a chance to be
neglected, and the purchase was
therefore effected. These goods had
been intended to be worn by those
employed in the Saladeros, or great

SCIENCE IN GROWING CORN
Requires Great Deal Of Labor, but
Farmer Is Repaid by the In
creased Crop.
cBy cHAs. X. PETERsENJ

fBy CHAS n PETERSEND
The testing OF seed corn is very i'm
portant this spring. Not in many
years has the question so closely ap-
pealed to the farmer as 1t does now.
Much Of the seed corn saved in the
corn belt states for this seasons plant
ing is showing low termination and
better cultivation than ever will be
necessary to produce a big crop.
A good seed bed is the foundation
of the CROP or rather the first stone
upon the real foundation. the seed
Presuming that the corn ground Is in
proper rotation and sufficiently man
ured, it should be worked UP as mel.
low as a garden bed. If stalks are on
the ground they should be disked both
ways, the rollers being ground sharp.
then follow with a spading disk, and
work the soil thoroughly four or five
inches deep.
1t Is hardly possible to spend too
much time in preparing the ground.
II should be disked three times each
way, making six workings before
planting.
When stalks are plowed under a
good plan is to harrow first then plow,
then harrow again and plant.
The harrow should follow the plow
closely and all plowed ground should
be finished every noon and night.
Another good preparation is TO disk
the ground four times, using a spader
the first time and an ordinary disk a
week later. Then harrow the land
after each double disking and plant
close after the harrow. Rowe the IL
Iinois man says that after several
years experience he prefers disking
TO plowing. OF course sod ground
must be plowed.
1t is also important to use the right
kind of corn planter-use an edge
drop planter or one that will drop the
exact number of kernels for which 1t
Is set 80 times out of 100. 1t should
even do better than that, if the seed
has been carefully sorted according
to size to At the holes in the different
plates. This is the only way to get
an even stand of corn. An even stand
from good seed is the only way to
grow profitable crop.

the world is to be found in India. A
Hindoo chanced to save the life OF

one Of the largest elephants in the

the recipient much anxiety, as the
animals appetite was too great for
the owner to satisfy. The Hindoo's
house stood near turn in the river,
where many people crossed, and as
the stream was at times raging
