The unhappiest man on earth is Abdul Hamid the deposed sultan of Turkey
 The former despot of Turkey is shiv- ering with fear for his life. He is in hourly dread of assassination by his en- emies Since he was sent into exile, shown himelf at any of the windows of the villa. He dare not, for he is con vinced that he would be shot by one of his foes if he were seen.
 Neither advice nor entreates, nor even stringent medical orders, will induce him t3 leave the house and take exercise in the garden.
 Not only does he remain stubbornly indoors, but nothing will make him leave the first floor of the villa. He fears to trust himself to the ground floor lest bombs be concealed iii the cellars be- meath. He will not go up to the second floor, for he thinks the villa might be set on fire and he would perish before he could escape.
 A victim to insomnia, he never un- dresses, but his thin, bowed figure Is seen wandering during the night from room to room until finally Abdul Hamid falls exhausted and slumbers fitfully on couch.
 He sworks as carpenter during the day, and recently he finished making a ldl 6C mdldiODS. H9lIdhStly Siou6H, lio one desire Is to find a purchaser for it.. It Is not that he needs the money, but he longs to convince himself that the work of his hands is of monetary value. He begs his warders for leave to send the wardrobe away from the villa to be sold, but his request is refused invaria- ply. The Turkish government fears that within the woodwork there may be con- cealed some undesirable communication to his friends.
 Abdul Hamid knows nothing of the outside world Neither he nor the two wives and the servants who followed him into captivity are allowed to read any newspaper. Abdul Hamid Is intensely lonely. Abdul Rachim, the only son who followed him into captivity, has deserted him, declaring that his father was SC petulant and nervous that no one could endure life in his vicinity Burhann ed Din, his favorlte son, to whom he de- sired to leave his crown, has repudated his father, accusing him Of having caused the death of his mother because Abdul Hamid refused to summon com petent medical man to attend her in her illness.

The cholera continues to decline In the Donetz iron and coal fields, as well as in St. Petersburg, but the epidemic is re- ported to be spreading in the Volga pro- vinces. A coal and iron famine Is inev- itable. The proposal to suspend the du- ties on pig iron nevertheless encoun- ters opposition.

Fertilizer is Moving
In South Georgia.

Farmers of Ben Hill County are
busy hauling fertilizer and the
quantity being bought is a harbin
ger of the big crops to be harvested
in the fall.
The farmer is the power behind
the throne so far as this section is
concerned, and, unless all signs
fail, next fall will see him with
more money than any other class.
And all Georgia is going alarm
ing, it would seem, from estimates
made in the office of State
Commissioner of Agriculture Hud-
son. The agricultural department
believes that the movement of
fertilizer already begun for the
1910 season in Georgia will, before
it's finish, have spread 500, 900 tons
of fertilizer over the fields of the
state, or, in other words. some
thing like $10,000,000 worth Of
enrichment will be spread out over
Georgla's 10, 900, 900 acres of cul-
tivated lands.

"AUTocRAcY ON RUN"
Murdoch Sees Defeat For Speaker
Cannon

Washington, Jan. 2l-"Legislatiye
autocracy is on the run. It's chief
exponent Speaker Cannon, has lost
his power and every effort will be
made to see that his Legislative sys-
tenn goes with him" said Mr.. Muir
dock OF Kansas. one of the insur-
gents, commenting on the action of
the House in naming the Ballinger-
Pnichot investigating committee.
The real issue in the matter of
the selection of an investigating com
mittee' Mr. Murdoch continued,
was whether the House could select
committee at all, and whether
when selected it would be a better
committee than one selected by the
Speaker. The House has proved that
it can select its own committee and
it has selected a committee on which
all elements of the House and coun
try are represented, whereas II the
Speaker had selected it it would have
been made up of his personal favor
ties. Committeeman appointed by
the Speaker would have owed their
places 10 him. The men now named
owe their places to the House. This
makes all the difference in the world,
and it is the first substantial step in
the direction of correcting present
Legislative procedure and marks an
epoch. Legislative autocracy is on
the run. Its chief exponent, Joseph
G.. Cannon, has lost his power and
every effort will be made to see that
his legislative system goes with him. "
representative Poindexter OF
Washington, the lone insurgent who
voted in favor of accepting the Demo
cratic caucus nominees, has issued a
statement explaining his attitude.
81 do not think the Republican par.
lty is responsible in any way for the
Democratic membership and 1t die
not devolve upon it to inquire into
their qualifications he said. III the
Republican organization should have
the right to select the Democratic
membership, the purpose of biparti
san representation would be defeat
ed. The Republican party would b.
Irresponsible for the whole investigat
ion If it named the entire committee.
Mr.. Poindexter said the rules com
mittee of the House had introduced
the original resolution in such man
ner as to constitute an attack on tn,
Forest Service and presumably mari
Secretary Ballinger as pure anC

THEMlRROR BABY WAS CRYING
And That Seemed to Have the Oesir-
able Reforming Effect on the
Real Child.

at cannot be new way to attempt
to quiet a crying baby" said the
young man, who couldn't be expected
to know a great deal about children,
'but il certainly was effective
"The child was sitting up in a car
rage red faced and bawling. with its
mouth wide open and tears streaming
out of the corners Of its eyes. The
nurse was making unayailing efforts
to quiet the infant as she wheeled II
along
At corner there was a store that
had square post in one corner Of
the show window. The sides of the
post were covered with looking glass.
1.-THE nurse wheeled the carriage up
close to the window and the baby,
still bowling. got glimpse OF the
image Of its angry faced, wailing self
in the looking glass. The effect was
marvellous. The child stopped crying
at once and surveyed the glass with
an air almost OF being ashamed. Then
II broke into a smile, and when the
looking glass child also laughed ii
waved a tiny mittened fist and was
borne away, chuckling
This, of course, can be explained
on scientific grounds as being only a
manifestation Of curiosity on the part
OF the child. but the suddenness OF the
reform instituted by the mirror was
impressive to those who saw IT,"

After several years of costly legis-
lation the final steps are being taken
by the city of Burlington for the pur
chase of water front property for a
public wharf For over a century the
water traffic that has been transacted
at Burlington has been the largest
handled at any one point on Lake
Champlain and some years ago the
city was the largest inland lumber
port in the United States. In view
of these facts it is remarkable that
the people of Burlington and particu-
larly those who have been financially
interested in the big business tran
sacted by boat in and out of the city,
have delayed until this late day be
fore taking the step that gives to the

THE FOOD FOR POULTRY IN
WINTER

Much time and money have been
spent in what seems the almost vain
endeavor to make hens produce eggs
in cold weather. 1t requires but lit
tie experience with poultry to learn
the fact that, under ordinary circum-
stances, hens cannot produce as
many eggs in winter as in summer
Summer is the natural time for the
laying of eggs and in order to in
crease winter production there must
be reproduced for the fowls as near
ly as possible the conditions that ex-
list in summer Mrs. John ]. Layzell

Olm Merril's decision not TO be

the state convention in June becaus,
of i'll health will disappoint large
number of citizens who had hoped
that with the Enosburgh man in the
field larger interest in the cam
paign would result Ii is useless TO
deny that at the present time the
personal element is the only factor
of any prominence. no issues have
been brought forward for discussion,
no plans for the future good of the
state have been advanced in connec-
ton with the aspirations Of the men
in the field. There is nothing partic-
ularly dangerous in the situation but
it is certainly dlscouraging. A cam.
paign that presents nothing but the
desires of candidates to fill the Off
ces is something to be guarded
against for the reason that it is not
progressive.
