WOMEN WILL CHANGE II
When They Go to Congress Pictures
of Presidents Wives Will Adorn
White House.

All that will be changed when we
are allowed to vote and have repre-.
sentation in congress- said woman
who was looking through the White
House, and asked about a picture of
Mrs. Cleveland, and absent pictures
OF the wives of other presidents. A
gentlemanly attendant info:med her
that no picture of Mrs. Cleveland
hung in the White House, although
more people asked for that than for
any other absent picture. He told
her that the government never buys
pictures of the wives of presidents,
and pays only for the pictures of the
presidents themselves.
There are in the White House pic.

including Martha Washington, Mrs.
Van Buren,, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Harrison.

MAKE GOOD PARTY PRIZES
Few Things More Acceptable Than a
Pair of the Fashionable
Hatpins.

In hunting for party prizes a pair of
hatpins will surely be acceptable. 1t
Is no longer fashionable to wear half
a dozen different kinds of pins in one
hat; thus most women are glad for a
set that matches.
The amount to be spent upon these
pins is only limited by the inclination
and purse of the hostess. Cookbook
ing beetle pins set in brass, and dull
colored scarabs can be had for as lit
tie as 25 cents These are especially
liked by young girls.
The favorite hatpins this winter are
those of rhinestones. These vary in
nrice from Is cents to many dollars,
according to size and brilliancy. There
are various shapes in the rhinestone
nins. but those that stand out from
the hat. either in ball or cone shape,
show the brilliancy of the stones
much more than the fiat ones.
Some of these pins are in butterfly
shape, with both sides of the out

"vIC" MURDOCH TELLS STORY
Man Sleeping in Church Rings Bell

The following story is told by "Vic''
Murdoch, one Of the insurgent leaders
of the house:
Two travelling men landed in west
ern town late at night, and found the
only hotel in the place filled with
guests Even the billiard table had
been turned into a bed
The hotel clerk, wishing to accom-
modate thSstrangers, told them that
the SEXTON of the Methodist church
had left his key at the desk, and If
they would keep the thing to them
selves they could sleep on pew
cushion. Of course, they agreed, and
found their way to the church. About
midnight the bell in the church was
heard ringing violently.
The sexton rushed to the building,
and, upon attempting to get in at the
door, was shocked to hear the order:

Bettinu and RACING.

If anyone wants better evidence
that gambling is all that keeps racing
alive, he should glance at the race
track at Bennings, in the District of
Columbia. A few years ago there were
races at this place twice a year. A
stringent anti-gambling law was en-
acted, and now the Bennings' track
has grown up to weeds and racing has

Democratic Resolutions.

The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of North Carolina in session in
Raleigh recently adopted the follow
ing resolution which is self-explana-
| tory:
"The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of North Carolina, having I'M
| der consideration the state OF politi-
cal conditions in the country deems
| it appropriate to offer foreword to
The campaign of 1910.
"The National Republican party,
after enjoying a long lease OF power
conferred upon it by means OF we'll or
gained special interests, and after IL
notorious servility to such interests
during all of these years, finds itself
| today confronted with an awakened
and outraged public conscience.
Promise and performance are fresh
in the public mind and the par'y's
duplicity stands uncovered. The peo-
pie at least realize the folly of look
| ing for just revision Of high pro-
tective tariff by it's friends and bene-
| ficiaries, or just regulation or sup
preston OF monopoly by the minions
of it's power. President Taft's admin
istration is thus far an additional
failure. Scandal, fraud and corrup-
ton in high places are defying the
whitewash brush, and the energies of
the administration are wasted in the
labor OF Investigations and defense.
His own party mutinies, the people
call for relief, and the President takes
| refuge behind the machine. Never be-
fore in the history of our republic
| has any political party so openly
abused the public confidence or so
blindly bound itself to the stand-pat
body Of death. Democracy and re-
form, the rule of the people, is to-day
the militant force which brooks no
further delay, and will take possession
| OF the popular branch OF Congress at
the coming election.
1.-THE Democratic party of North
| Carolina welcomes the mighty move
ment throughout the nation with a
firm resolve to press it's banner far
towards the front. With clean hands
| we point to State government ad-
ministered more economically than
in any other State of he Union. The
appalling disaster of Republican rule
in this State is ever present in the
minds of patriotic men, and no diff
ferences of opinion about the best
treatment of local issues can swerve
Democrats from the loyal support of
their party at this hopeful and STIR
ring hour. Our party, unlike it's ad-
versary, will enter the approaching
campaign with no unseemly scramble
for office, but with a zeal born of
faith in the triumph of principles
| dear to the hearts of all men who de-
sire to see our government rededi-
Gated to the services of the people,"

months before calving with cows that

months with those that have not.
All new COWS should be kept sepa-

certain that they are free from infec

they should be returned to the seller

Tuberculosis.
tuberculosis affects cattle, swine and
man 1t has been clearly proved that
tuberculosis can be transmitted to
swine through the milk of affected
COWS, and it is very probable that it
can be transmitted to human beings in
the same way.
tuberculosis can seldom be told by
the appearance of the animal. Often
the best looking cows in the herd will
be the worst affected. tuberculosis is
easily transmitted from one COW in a
herd TO another. The only safe way to
do Is to get the herd on Il healthy basis
and keep it there. The tuberculin test
applied by competent man is Il sure
means of detecting the disease The
diseased animals should he sold to a
Soapmaker at once. If the disease
is present only in certain local parts Of
the body the rest may be all right for
use. After the herd is once cleaned
up no animals should be brought ON
the place that have not been subjected
to the test. In this way only eau
healthy herd be maintained
Abortion.
Abortion is of two kinds. accidental
and chronic Accidental abortion NAV
occur in almost any class Of animals
as result of moldy feed, strains or
injuries of any kind. Contagious abor-
ton is seldom troublesome except in
the case of cows. All cases of abor-
ton in cows, unless positively known
to be due TO some other cause, should
be treated as contagious. If once in
troduced into herd this disease
spreads rapidly, almost destroying the
usefulness of the entire herd for breed
ing purposes.
As soon as a COW has aborted, the
calf, if it is dead, should be burned,
together with the afterbirth. The
stall and the hind quarters Of the cow
should be disinfected thoroughly. a
2 per cent solution of some coal tar
dip or q IL per cent solution of car

Barbed Wire Cuts.
Wherever horses are allowed to run
in pastures fenced with barbed wire
there will be frequent need of treat

If the bleeding is from Il large vessel,
compression will have to be applied,
toward the heart if an artery is cut or

Usually, however, barbcd wire cuts do
not bleed seriously They should be
cleaned thoroughly with warm water
