GOT HIS DlnE'S WORTN

B n. An unceremonius scramble for a lone 10-cent piece which an elderly man dropped in his haste to catch a ear in Ire mont street last night, ended in the injury of a woman. and a pri :on term for a man.
 The two saw the coin drop at the same time. The woman picked up the piece, and the man wrenched it away from her with a tug which threw her with badly injured arm. She screamed and the police inter- vened. A magistrate completed the incident by sending the man to Deer Island for sixth months.

TRAIN WAS ON FIRE

Blowing it's whistle frantically a Northern Pacific engine dashed through Bellingham, Wash. and out into the country, ahead of a trainload of blazing cedar logs, narrowly missing a northbound passenger at Anacortes, says the Minneapolis Journal.
 The wild ride occurred about 9 p. m. and the fiery cars leaping along the rails made a brilliant spectclae. Hundreds of1persons ran into their homes frightened lest a comet was sweeping the hoaizon. The train was stopped ten miles south of town and the burning cars of logs left to des- truction.
 When about four miles from Rogers log camp. where the logs were loaded. one carload became ignited from a spark out of the engine. The fire quickly spread by the rush of the train, and the engineer seeing the futility of stopping in the heavy timber and endangering Other property put on full speed.
 The heavy woods run almost to Bellingham's northern edge and the danger was not passed until after the b lazi ing train had traversed the forest and cleared the city when the stretch of prairie south of the city was reached.
 The engineer, although seek ing to save the propeaty of oth- CTS from fire, did not think of the caboose on the rear of the train, and while the cars were being pulled along at fifty miles an hour the occupants of the ca- boose were vainly trying to leap to safety on likely looking spots along the right of way. J. Cole, rear brakeman, landed on his head in a quagmire, but extrica- ted himself. Conductor George Baxter sustained a broken leg in leaping from the car. The ca boose was partly destroyed.

PENITENTIARY LOSES MEN

The Arkansas penitentiary was hit harder during the month of August than it has been for m any years, in the loss of men. During the month 116 men have passed from the control of the state. Of these 38 were libera- ted on account of their sentence expiring. and the others were turned over to the Lee, Monroe and St. Francis counties to be worked on the roads. The state is also suffering with other planters in Eastern Arkansas thru army worms working in the young cotton on the State Farm. Supt. Pitcock is using Paris Green in an effort to check the ravages of the pest.

A TASTEFUL COUPLE

Aurthur had never kept con- pany with a girl, nor had Maria ever received attentions but by some miracle they now found themselves together, riding on a lonesome country road.
 Conversation was at a stand still. The old nag stumped along with his head hung low, and would not hurry. Not a man or a house was in sight, not a sound could be heard. The silence was intense and oppressive. Maria scanned the fringe of ragweed on her side of the road. Arthur peered hopefully into the hazel brush on his side.
 A half-grown rabbit sprang from somewhere, and with dog. en leaps was gone.
 Do you like rabbit?" ask ed Maria, impulsively. Yes 're- piled the swain, quickly. And there he stopped. His mouth hung wide open, but not another word occurred to him.
 He blushed. He remembered there was not a house nor man in sight. He strained his eyes at the fringe on hazel bush. The silence intensified, and bore down like a palpable weight. Then Arthur drew in a sharp breath, pulled himself together resoutely, and glanced toward his friend. And my!" he said. And my! Ain't the gravy good?" Youths Companion

POULRRY ON THE FARM

During the past few years thousands have gone into the poultry business. Hundreds have made a failure of it. The person who goes into the poul- try business, must prepare him. self beforehand as thoroughly as possible and he must go slow"
 There is money in the poultry business in Arkansas. Few of us stop to figure up this item in our annual income. Yet the in- come per person was something like $l6.00 during the last year. Counting five persons to the family, each family received, during the last year, an income of something like eighty dollars ($80.00) in the value of the poul- try produced on the farm. All or part of this value may have been consumed on the farm.
 Some people consider it an in- suit for one to insinuate that they do not know how to raise chickens. Yet the number who fail to be successful poultry rais-
The Nevada County picayune., 1911-09-08

CTS is greater than the number who succeed. Among the chief causes of failure are: Errors in feeding and in buying feed. If our people uesd the same judg- ment in feeding their poultry as they do in feeding their dairy cows, more satisfactory results would be secured. Other causes of failure are: Errors in choos- ing a breed suitable for particu- lar purposes in caring for and housing fowls; faulty locations.
 We have had an education along different lines emphasized, but few of us have thought it necessary to study poultry be- fo re attempting to raise them. Recently plans for the organiza- ti on of school poultry clubs were formulated. No one, for an in- stant, discounts the very efficient work done by the Boys Corn Club. The Poultry Clubs have just as great opportunities for efficiedt work.
