Sarah Bernhard was once playing

which she made her entree accompa-
MED by six Turkish slaves. A line on
the program announced that these six
Turks would accompany Nine. Bern
hardt. but when the time came for
them to go on one of the youngsters
had disappeared. Sarah mustered the
five In order and made her entrance
with grand flourish. The house was
crowded, but not handicap greeted
her as she appeared. Then still,
small voice in the gallery murmured
something in an indignant Tone Fifty
voices Immediately took up the strain,
and in ten seconds more the whole
house was shouting the same phrase
Bernhard strained every nerve to
catch what they were complaining
about. She knew the phrase began
with "Manque," but the rest Of 1t was
lost in the general hubbub. For full
minute the tumult continued. Then
Sarah, muttering things below her
breath. rushed like fury down to the
footlights. In the front row the &C.

sternly: "You seem to be the only

gard the dollar dinner at Des Moines.
The administration will not. Stand.
patters may sneer at the 700 men who
gathered to indorse Senator Cummins
In his policy Of electing progressives
to. replace the machine congressman
from Iowa. They should remember
Indiana.
Seven hundred Iowa Republicans en-.
thusiastlc for tarift reform are not to
be sneered at. BY the Aldriches, the
Boutells. and other willing servants Of
the eastern tariff barons they are to be
feared. for they indicate the beginning
Of the end for tariff roguery.
President Taft may have believed
that the west was ina mood to toler-
ate present tariff conditions. Perhaps
the natural reluctance of certain west.
ern Republicans to speak unpleasantly
to the chief magistrate may explain
his illusion. But the Des Moines din.
ner should leave no doubt.
The west Is determined to secure
tariff reduction, no matter what east
ern trust is hit. Senator Cummins has
fred the first gun in the battle. The
Z congressional campaign will see hot
fghting all along the line.
The voters Of the west will send real
taritf revisionists to Washington. II

Drawing the Line.

Babies who are too sweet-tempered
to protect themselves by crying and
being cross about 1t have to endure a
good deal in the way of being kissed
by host of relatives and friends with
whom they are not acquainted. A
story of little maiden who finally as
serted her rights is related in west
srn paper.
She was only three years old. and 1t
was her first visit to number Of rela-
lives. Aunts, uncles and cousins
crowded round her, and kissed her
over and over again. She stood 1t pa

asked for without demur. After =

Undoubtedly the majority Of bathers
who are drowned meet their deaths
from cramp. Cramp is liable to seize
anybody at any moment, and when it
comes in deep water few swimmers
have sufacient presence Of mind to
turn on their backs and wait quietly
until the attack has departed. So they
go under. But there is another, danger
quite as imminent as cramp, though
1T is probably less known. This is wa.
ter inhaling. A swimmer or even a
wader is always liable to inhale spray
through his nostrils, which, passing
through the pharynx and behind the
epiglottis or windpipe guard. gets into
the windpipe and causes death. As
one would expect. water inhaling is
almost wholly confined to the sea and
very rarely occurs in fresh water. All
the same. 1t may happen anywhere.

The Agricultural Department has
been experimenting with some corn
from China which seems to be particu-
larly adapted to the hot and dry con-
ditions of the Southwest. The plants
raised in the test averaged less than
six feet in height, with an average Of
twelve green leaves at the time Of tas-
selling. The ears averaged s inches in
length and 1-3 inches In greatest cir
conference. with sixteen to eighteen
rows of small grains. On the upper
part Of the plant the leaves are all on
one side of the stalk, instead Of being
arranged in two rows on opposite
sides. Besides this, the upper leaves
stand erect instead Of dropping, and
the tips Of the leaves are therefore
above the top Of the tassel. The silks
Of the ear are produced at the point
where the leaf blade is Joined to the
leaf sheath, and they appear before
there is any sign Of an ear except a
slight swelling.

winter nation for Hens.

For fifty hens give one quart Of
wheat In the morning, scattered in inc
litter. At II o'clock they get one quart
of wheat, barley or oats. The last feed
at night is two quarts Of cracked corn.
Fresh water is given three times a
day during the winter. Charcoal, grit,
oyster shell and dry cracked bone are
within reach at all times. A half
peck Of green stun, such as tur-
nips, cabbage or beets. is given every
day or two. In trough with Slated
front they have free access to mix
ture of dry ground grains. This mix
ture is composed of 200 pounds Of
wheat bran and 100 pounds each Of
corn meal, middling, gluten meal and
beef scraps thoroughly mixed togeth-
er. Our fowls are harder and we do
not lose as many as when we fed meal
