The cashier, after securing a room,
came down to the dining-room to
breakfast; Cassajon sat down at the

Billiard Playing for Women.

A pioneer who deserves veil of her

ing to popularize billiard playing
among women Nine. Strebor's own
graceful presence and womanly charm
are calculated rapidly to dispel any
misgivings the outsider might feel as
to billiards being al unfeminine
game; indeed, its latest champion pro-
tests that women only want to know
more about the intricacies of billiard
playing to like it as well as golf or

thing for the muscles. and the gentle
exercise involved adds color to the
cheeks and brightness to the eyes-a

ears not longer than 81 inches when
dry. A good stand. and an ear on
every stalk, is what makes large
yields.
Select welcomed ears, with
straight rows of kernels and with
kernels of uniform size. No corn
planter can plant irregular kernels of
corn uniformly. Special attention
should be given to the shape of the
kernel Only kernels that are well
filed at the tip, thus showing large
germ. should be selected.
While there is a comparatively
small amount of grain seeded at this
season of the year in Minnesota, ex~
periments at University Farm indi-
cate the wisdom of selecting seed
grain now Good seed is as import
ant as good live stock. If one had
enc hundred animals, and wished to
keep ten for breeding purposes, he
would be considered foolish to open
the gate and let ninety run out at
random and retain the ten which
Just happened" to be left. This last
ten might easily include the poorest
animals in the bunch. But a similar
practice is usually followed with
grain If one has one hundred bush
els of grain, and needs ten bushels
for seed, it is a part of wisdom to
get the ten bushels Of the very best
out of the hundred, and sell or feed
the other ninety. This should be
done before large part of the grain
is marketed.
With an ordinary end-shack fan
I ming mill, one can run through about
forty bushels of grain per hour He
can take out from fifty to ninety per
cent of the smaller and lighter ker-
nels. than can be fed or marketed
and retain for seed from ten to fifty
per cent of the plumpest and heavi-
est kernels

he cannot make good selection of

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 22.-Arrayed
only in her nightgown and stockings,
Miss Columbia Cheek. a prominent
member of Atlanta's younger social
set, was married at 3 o'clock in the

they locked the girl in her room
after taking away her clothing.
Buchanan heard of his sweet
hearts predicament and after mid
night went in an auto to the Cheek
home. By throwing pebbles against
the window he attracted the girls
attention and found her willing to
elope. though she admitted her
trousseau consisted Of a n%ightgown
and a pair Of stockings. BY means
of a s%tepladder Miss Cheek descend
ed from her room into the arms of
her lover, was placed in the automo-

BURKETT'S OPPONENT
ISSUES STATEMENT.
Declares That Regardless of Tenn.
porary Defeats, insurgency
Will Win.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 22.-On the
day following the primaries and be-
fore he knew the result as affecting
his own candidacy, C. o. Whedon,
who was defeated for Burkett's
place in the senate, made the fol-
lowing statement:
II will not venture to predict the
result of the primary election. But
whatever the result of that election
may be, for my personal feelings, it
has no disappointment in store.
81 commenced an active campaign
on the second of this month and It
has been conducted principally by
means of the mail and the publica-
ton of my platform in the newspa>
pers.
II was, to a very considerable de-
gree, handicapped by the very gen.
eral belief, well founded in fact, that
behind me there was no active or
ganization, while my opponent had
in his service the effective supper of
the entire force of federal offcehold-
ers and employees. That he had them
all, is not true. He did have some,
however. whose political acumen and
activity is not equalled in the state.
II was not able to go out in the
state to conduct a personal cam.
paign. With the one 1 did make I
am content. To those who have
supported me 1 am more than
: grateful. Toward those who op-
posed me l have no feeling of resent
ment whatever.
"There is on foot in this state a
progressive movement which will
ultimately succeed. The republi-
cans of Nebraska are as progress
sive as are those of Kansas, Iowa and
Wisconsin,, when they get in action.
ION the occasion of Kansas Day
at Topeka, the 10Th of last January.
the s~tandpatters were in the major
ity at the banquet by more than 400
out of 600. Since that day the vot-
ers of Kansas have spoken.
"At the banquet Congressman Nc
Kinley of California, was the orator
most enjoyed, the most applauded.
He is now hearing from his own dis.
trict at home.
"The leaven Of this progressive
republican movement which had its
start in the central west will yet
leaven the whole lump.
