COW KNOWS CALF EVEN AS RUG.
Enters ParlOr and Sleeps BY Her
Baby's Hide.

Josiah Brown, farmer near Chin
chilla, Pa, relates a peculiar expe-
rience. Mr.. Brown owned COW with
a spotted calf. The calf was so pc
culiarly marked that Mrs Brown
asked for its skin to be made into
rug. Mr.. Brown complied with her
request, and the calfskin rug was
placed in front of the fireplace.
A few nights afterward the COW
became melancholy at the continued
absence of her calf, and broke out of
the barn in search for her lost Off
spring. She wandered up the front
walk and saw through the window
the skin of her calf lying in front of
the fireplace.
She quietly unfastened the door
with her horns, and in the morning
Mrs. Brown found her lying beside
the rug in the front parlor.

INDIAN BIRTH RATE GROWING
INCREASE NOTED IN THE SPO-
KANE RESERVATION.
Every Baby Gets From 100 to 100
Acres of Rich Land. Schools
Doing Fine Work.

SPOKANE, wash Everything is
running along smoothly on the res
ervations, and all the Indians are in
unusually good health" said Captain
John McA. Webster, Indian agent of
the Spokane-Coville reservation, sta
toned at Fort Spokane, a few days
ago.
eve are just at the end of a mild
epidemic of measles among the In
dams at the Nespelem sub-agency,
but outside of that there has been
no sickness out of the ordinary
among the three thousand Indians
under my supervision.
The sanitarium at Fort Spokane
for Indian children suffering with
tuberculosis is proving a success.
We have patients sent there from
agencies all over the country, and
every one is improving in health.
The last one to arrive was a little
girl from Minnesota.
1--WE employ the most modern
methods in battling with the disease,
and give the little patients plenty of
fresh air and the very best of nour-
ishing food-not pork and beans and
that sort of stuff, but milk, eggs,
butter and other flesh building foods.
1t is remarkable how the little suf-
ferers take on flesh just as soon as
they have been under treatment for
a few weeks.
The nine Indian schools which I
have established in different parts of
the reservation in the last two years
are all doing excellent work, and the
Indians are extremely proud of these
schools, Next spring I expect to es-
tabllsh another school for the Gals
pes on the Pend Oreile River.
Since the scheme for the allot-
ment of lands went into effect the
birth rate among the several tribes
has increased markedly. Every IN
dian baby at birth is allotted either
eighty acres of plough land or 100
acres Of grazing land, and this fact
seems to have spurred the Indians
to take the idea of anti-race suicide.
THE ten tribes stationed on the
two reservations are the Wenatchess.
Moses Columbus, Okanogans, Nespe-
lens, San Polls, Barnaby's Colvilles,
Calispels, Lakes, Spokanes and Jo-
seph's band of Nez Perces.
Il have often been asked the
meaning of the name 'Nez Perces.'
1t is French expression, and means
pierced noses The members of the
tribe used to wear rings in their
noses. Another name that seems to
bother many people is Pend Oreille
pronounced Pon-de-ray), which
means hanging from the ears. In
the early days the Pend Oreille In
dams wore all sorts of gaudy orna-
ments hanging from their ears"

LIKE A NICE HORSE STEAK?
Or an Old DObbin Roast? Illinois
Inspectors Find Chicago Butch
ers Sell Horse Meat.

CHICAGO.-In an official report to
the Illinois State Food Commission
made public Sunday State Inspector
Hoey declares that horses are being
slaughtered by the wholesale in Chi
cago and the meat is being sold and
distributed for human consumption
The meat, he says is being cut into
roasts, steaks and sausages and is
being sold to free lunch vendors in
Chicago and to some farming dis
tricts and mining camps, where for
eign miners are employed.
Heretofore, says the report, it was
the general belief that all horse meat
prepared in Chicago was for ship
ment to Copenhagen, Denmark, and
the fact that it is being put up for
home consumption is looked upon
as necessitating a new state law reg
ulating the killing or horses.
All the horse killing establish
ments, it was reported, were small
slaughtering houses operated in OBJ
scure parts of the city. In one place
it was found that fifteen horses
week were killed. The product of
this place went to points in Wiscon-
sin and Illinois. At another place
castings for sausages were found, but
the proprietor declared they were for
shipment to Denmark.
Most of our meat goes there" he
said. Denmark is the best horse

chased at 6 cents a pound when the

Farmers Wives Have Clubs.
The farmers wives throughout this
state, especially in the old Oklahoma
territory, have their social and club
life much like their sisters in the
towns and cities. In the vicinity
north of Thomas, in Custer county.
the wives of farmers have organized
a club known as the Optimist, and
they meet weekly to discuss litera-
ture and current events and to en-
JOY themselves otherwise. Sewing
circles in neighborhoods are frequent,
and social life on the Oklahoma farm
is as far advanced as in the eastern
and central states.
Miss Maude James was one woman
in Oklahoma during the past summer
who cultivated her own cotton patch.
She has 80 acres of the feecy staple
on her farm just north of Morrison,
IN Noble county, and tended all of it
herself. She plowed the field three
times, making it clean of weeds, and
it was considered the finest piece of
cotton in that county. The big prices
now being received for cotton, twice
as much as last season, and the high
est since the civil war days, are
more than repaying Miss James for
her hard work of the summer
months. She is a homesteader and
has her deed.

HARVESTING IN EGYPT.
crude Native Methods Seen Side bv
Side With Modern Machines

0uO Win MODERN Machines.
One of the curious sights in the
Egyptian harvest season is a modern
threshing machine noisily working
IN field adjoining that in which a
native thresher is treading out the
grain, says a writer in the Wash
1ngton Herald.
The brown skinned tiIler of the
soil, clad in his flowing robes of
white or the favored dull blue and
yellow combination, sitting on the
high seat of the crude thresher, whic,
IS dragged over the fields by a yoke
OF patient camels or perhaps a camel
and donkey or a couple of buffalo
COWS, appears to the stranger who
sees this for the first time like the
principal actor in a scene worked out
by an ingenious mind for stage eff
feet.
The native plough in Egypt is sim
ply the forked portion of tree, or
TWO pieces Joined together and
smoothed off, primitive continuance
which may still be seen in use by
Cuban farmers.
The thresher is a sledge like affair
fitted with round crushers of wood or
iron and weighed down from the top.
The grain is crushed into the ground,
and when gathered up it is mixed
with Jumps of mud, but it is said that
never kernel of it is lost or wasted.

FROSTY FEET NOT A CRIME.
So Says Mrs. Gibbs of Atlanta, and

It is not a crime to have cold feet,

and thereby hangs tale.
Mrs. Gibbs made case against
her husband in police court for al
legged cruel treatment, but failed to
appear to prosecute him. Gibbs APP
peared and told the recorder, among
other things, that his wife sat up
late reading novels and then came
to bed with cold feet and made him
warm them, all of which rather an
gered him.
The case was dismissed, but now
Mrs. Gibbs has filed suit for divorce,
alleging numerous cruelties. Among
other things she admits having "cold
feet now and then" but says Il do
not think this is q crime"

NO COURTING, NO CARDS.
Oxford Girls Secret Is Kept Like
Girls Secrets.

The mystery that has been puz-

this story is printed the meaning of

Gently formed by fifteen Oxford So

1t will be recalled that this secret
organization was formed two weeks

of 300 Emory students and others
that the press of the state began
asking the question, what's the w,

fordians who saw the news dispatch
es became curious, and the result was
scores of letters from all parts of
Georgia asking for enlightenment.
And the members of the club laughed
in great glee-they were girls and
they were actually keeping a secret.
But, alas, Sunday afternoon the
secret leaked, and a newspaper cor
respondent had the benefit of it..
Said the maid: It's just too cute
for anything, and somebody ought
to know, Will you promise never to
tell?" And she told all the secrets
to eager ears. Here they are:
Ostensibly the club is of athletic,
literary and social nature, and these
sides will be consistently cultivated
consistently, for the motto is
Consistency, thou art a jewell

NO FREE DOINGS.
Telephone Directors Must Pay Like
Common Folks.

According to an opinion given the
railroad commission by Judge James
K. Hines, special attorney, it is a
violation of the rules of the railroad
commission for telephone company
to furnish free service to it's direc-
tors. The question came up in con-
nection with the Stewart Telephone
Company which connects with the
Southern Bell at Covington.
Some of the directors put up a
howl when bills were presented to
them for telephone service, so the
company asked the railroad commits
sion about it. The commission will
stand upon Judge Hines view of the
case.

OUTSIDERS and new INDUSTRIES

The Macfarlanes have done well to
interest one OF the largest packing
houses of the country in the pineap-
pie industry on this island 1t means
outside money to the islands and
guaranteeing prompt marketing of
our product. 1t will also put a new
and powerful force behind the claims
for holding a proper tariff protection
Tor the industry.
Another interesting phase presents
itself in consequence of this deal, the
recent purchase of the Consolidated
Pineapple Company by mainland in
terests and the negotiations that are
under way by which the Armours
may get control Of the corporation
handling Doles pineapple juice.
Outsiders have more confidence in
this new industry of Hawaii than our
own people.
While the people who fattened of
sugar prosperity have been sending
heir money out of the Territory for
vestment, the big packing corpora
-.ons have more or less quietly step
red into the field and secured prac-
| dcally control of an industry that has
rs good u prospect as sugar ever had
better perhaps on account of Ha'
wall at present leading the way in the
pineapple business of America.
Instead of developing this industry
| with our own money and selling the
output to the packers under as fav'
Orable contracts as that under which
the locally owned sugar manufacture
ers sell their product to the grea'
sugar refining company Of the coun'
try, the control of the business has
passed to the big packers and only In
the case of the Macfarlane deal has
there been semblance OF the reten'
ton by local men of the commanding
position in the administration of thcs,
companies.
Business men of Hawaii will now
possibly begin to wake up. They may
| realize that there Is something oi
value for this Territory in Other
things than sugar.
| Whether 1t will be too late, and Tho
industry develop, under u system o
absentee corporation landlordism, re
mains to be seen. .....
The whole situation in pineappleI
up to the present date is strong ar
gument for the people of Hawaii t.
invest their money in their own in
dustries, support them at all time
