HUNTER ''WORN OUT''

way to enjoy life-shooting some thing all day long"
 In his prime Dave Ellis stood six feet tall, weighed 200 pounds and was as soft footed ds a fox. No ordinary man could follow him through the woods all day lcng. Neither swamp nor valley, ridge nor rocks, nor noun tain top daunted him.
 He would wade through alderbeds until near sundown and then, when his instinct told him the birds were in the uplands he would rush to a mountaintop and, with one muddy leg twisted around a sapling, shoot birds leaping from the ground spruce and watch where they lodged 100 feet down the rocky cliff
 It was kill, kill with him; but there was method in his killing He would not kill old birds, because they were better breeders than young and inex- perienced birds. An old pair would know how to care for a brood and would always bring up a greater pro- portion of young birds than an mex perienced pair
 So the old cartridges were spared. They might fly up before his dog and he would watch them fly, calculating six young ones. He knew the fallacy in the adage "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

TWO MILLIONS IN POTATOES
Three Maine Counties Found Crop to Be Extremely Profitable Dur
 ing Past Year.

Augusta, Me.-"There is not a coun- ty in Maine that has not excellent land for the growing of potatoes" says Dr. Charles D. Wood, the director of the Maine state experiment station at the University of Maine. "A large con- cern interested in the manufacture of phosphate made a careful investiga- tion of phosphate as to soil conditions in the state, as they were about to To- cate a farm for experimental work. In Richmond, Sagadahoc county, was found the best soil for the cultivation of the potato"
 In 1909 Sagadahoc county raised nearly 2,000,0O0 bushels of potatoes. In Oxford county about the same amount was raised, and York county near the seashore, raised nearly 1,000,- 900 bushels. Farmers in all sections of Maine are turning their efforts to the potato crop. The total cash re- turns from the potato crop for the counties of Oxford, Sagadahoc and York for 1909 were nearly S2,00O,000

Some Rare Antiques.

London.-Through the munificence of a city merchant. who desires for the time being to remain anonymous, the nation is about to become the pos sessor of a collection of rare and val uable prehistoric antiquities from Peru. They consist of ceramic yes sels of various kinds discovered by T. Hewitt Myring, in tumulus in the Chimcana valley.
 The pottery is extremely beautiful and is in an excellent state of pres ervation, notwithstanding it's age, which is variously estimated at from 1000 to 1000 years.
 Most of the vessels are embellished with designs which prove that the people who produced them possessed the sense of beauty in a high degree and had attained to an advanced civ iliZation.

THE JOYS OF OTHER DAYS
Writers Memory Goes Back to De- lights of Which the Present Gen
 eration Knows Little.

We cheerfully admit that the fur mace and the hard coal base burner add a whole lot to modern comfort but after all they have their draw backs. For instance, you cant very well pop corn in either a furnace or a base burner. It took those old fashioned stoves, in which we used to burn a two-foot length of hickory wood for that sort of things. When the wood had burned down to glow ing coals, we'd open the front door, rake the coals down in front and pro ced to pop corn. When we get rich we are going 10 have one of these old fashioned stoves put up in our room, with a lot of twofoOt seasoned hickory in the basement, and every now and then we are going to start a fire ill that stove, get a good bed of coals, and then pop a dishpan full of corn, just as a reminder of old days. Of course we'll eat the popcorn, not as a reminder of old days. but because we are awfully fond of popcorn Will NJ. Maupin, in The Cemmoner.

SHE QUIT But 1t Was a Hard Pull.

It is hard to believe that coffee will put person in such a condition as it did an Ohio woman. She tells her own story:
 q did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not quit drinking it, but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nerv. ouS prostration for four years.
 T was scarcely able to be around had no energy and did not care for any, thing. Was emaciated and had a con. stant pain around my heart until thought I could not endure it. For months I never went to bed excepting to get up in the morning. I felt as though l was liable to die any time,
 Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time it came over me and asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could in dulge myself in coffee?
 So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee and got some Postum to help me quit. I made it strictly according to directions and want to tell you, that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because had the Postum which I now like better than the old coffee.

Dogs Take th.e Trail of Fero- cious Cat.

Helena, Mont-Hunters who wish really exhilarating sport can procure it by going up to Lincoln, to the west of Helena in the Big Blackfoot coun- try.
 According to reports received here, this winter and they are doing dam- age to live stock. Hunters have gone after them with traps and rifles, but the big cats are too cunning to be killed in such fashion and are contin- uing their depredations.
 The most successful method is to hunt them down with horses and a pack of dogs. No more exhilarating sport was ever devised than lion hunting in this manner. Only a hard and fearless rider, willing to risk breaking his neck in wild dashes up and down snow covered slopes, hidden beneath which may be logs and pros pect holes, stands chance of being in at the death.
 The pack takes the trail of a big cat, the hunters following on horse back. When the animal is jumped it runs swiftly few hundred yards and then usually takes to a tree. Some times it mains and kills a dozen dogs. If the hunter has the right kind of stuff in him he rushes into the midst of the yelping pack knife in hand and with quick stroke kills the cat.
 If the animal takes to a tree the

COTTON SACKS ARE FAVORED
Through Effort of Farmers Union of Texas Order Was Issued by
 Commissary General.

Through the efforts of R. D. Bowen, chairman of the executive committee of the Northeast Texas Farmers union, and others of the union, an or der has been issued by Commissary General Henry D. Sharpe that in the purchase of all government supplies the preference will be given to those which are inclosed in cotton sacks If the cost be no greater and requiring package.
 MT. Bowen was in Houston the oth. CT day, and he is gratified at the sue cess of his efforts in securing more recognition for a southern product by the federal government. Up to this time jute has been largely used be, cause it is cheaper.
 Another point in favor of the cotton market which will be bettered by the order is that 1t will create demand for waste cotton at the mills. MT Bowen stated that he had learned through investigation that at all the larger cotton mills where cloth is made there is much waste, cotton that is too inferior to be made into cloth The result is this grade is sold for very little to other dealers for other purposes. The demand for cotton sacks would not only create a demand for a low grade of cotton, but also give the mill owners an opportunity to use the waste cotton in making sacks, thus benefiting both the manu. | facturer and the farmer.

Horseman in London Victim of Rare and Strange Disease Due to
 Gripping Animal.

London-If you are an equestrian be careful not to grip your horse too tightly with the muscles of the thigh or you may contract a disease known as 'myositis ossiiicans."
 In a case which is interesting sev- eral of the London hospitals a pa- tient's muscles are gradually turning into bone. He is considered so rare a specimen that he has been examined by the board of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and it is said that, though he can still walk and rest in bed, he is unable to sit on a chair. Not only are the thigh muscles turning to bone, but the entire muscles of the back and the chest are similarly affected.
 One of the leading doctors at the MiddleseX hospital explained to a cor respondent that "myositis ossificans" is a disease that is due to irritation
