Now 1t had come to pass that tt
berius had chosen a young man
named Caligula, and when Cali
gula heard the news, his heart
gave hop, step and a jump. Cali
gula was already receiving con-
gratulations on his accession to
the throne when Tiberius sudden
ly revived, and told Lucullus he
guessed he'd have a square meal
before he went. Caligula, how
ever, did not intend to be euchred
this way, and one of his servants
strangled Tiberius with a pillow.

The whistler

In all this world there Is one
chap that intend to get; 1 haven't
murdered him so far, but l will
get him yet! He is the man who
when l toll loafs like a lazy Turk,
and Fuckers up his tuneful lips to
whistle as l work. l struggle with
some fearsome thought or coax a
dainty note, when comes this hui
man calliope and promptly gets
my goat! Before the screeching
of his lips I stutter in my think,
and all the thinks I thought i
thought go strictly on the blink!
Why is it folk will whistle when
they've nothing else to do? Why
don't they go out on the street and
walk mile or two? Some of these
times I'll lose my head and sheath
a rusty dirk in the chap who al
ways whistles when a fellow tries
to work.

the company which has the
contracts for building the new
battleships for the Argentine-is
Admiral Bowles, former chief
constructor of the United States
navy. Mr.. Secretary Meyer of the
navy department says that there
are no secrets pertaining to the
American navy worthy the
name. He says all information
touching the construction of our
battleships is in the possession of
private firms and foreign govern
ments and was before Secretary
Knox agreed to give them to the
Argentine.
Without pausing to ask whether
this was a flim-flam on the Ar
gentine, we would suggest that
somebody ask Admiral Bowles
whether he remembers anything
about some detailed drawings
and tracings which were the
property of the United States
government and which were be-
ing used in the shipyard of
which he is the head, and which
were entrusted temporarily to a
Swedish draughtsman, and wheth-
er he remembers anything about

TIME FOR HARVESTING OATS
Crop Should Be Cut When Grain Is
Still in the Dough State-Haul
in Before Heavy Rain.

Oats should be cut when the grain
is in the dough stage. If cut when the
grain is in the milk the grain will be
light in weight, and if cut when full
ripe there will be a loss Of grain In
handling, says a writer in the Balti-
more Am erican We endeavor to cut
when the milk is out of the grain.
The crop Is cut with self-binder, max
ing small sheaves. Twelve sheaves are
set to a shock, and as soon as the
straw is cured and the grain hard and
dry we haul in as quickly as possible.
The crop should be hauled in before a
heavy rain, as it is almost impossible
to dry the bundles if the straw is
once thoroughly wet. 1t is a hard task
to take down the shocks, open out the
bundles and spread out the sheaves to
dry. Owing to the soft straw and
chaff around the grain the moisture
dries out slowly, even when the
leather is hot and dry. Grain and
labor are saved by getting the crop
under cover before showers.
After the sheayes are hauled in the
field should be raked. These rakings
cut fine and mixed with a little mill
feed make an excellent summer feed
for the horses. AS soon as the oats
are under cover the field should be
cut over with the twO-hOrSe sulky cul-
tivator or the steel disk. Run the cul
tivator both ways. This early work
ing brings the wild seeds to the sur
face; it also prevents the soil from
crusting over.

ceedingly difficult to get him to his
grave. Another film will show another
farmer carrying his produce-twice as
much-over a model road constructed
under the supervision of the govern
ment.
The department of agriculture will
be able to show, in entertaining as
well as instructive style, the effects
Of pure foOd and impure food; the
secretary of war will be able to show
the advantages Of army life, and the
secretary of the navy the advantages

Uncle Sam Builds Prison for Women

4 PRISON within a prison is being
n built at LeavenwOrth, Kan, and 1t
will be the first exclusive federal
prison for women in the United States.
The new jail is being built within the
walls Of the United States peniten-
tiary, but it will have a wall Of its
own and the inmates will be more Sc
curely shut off from the world than
the more desperate men confined in
the mems prison
This inside prison will have room
for about 800 women. there being now
about that number in the various
state p~enitentiaries in the United
States, the government paying the
states for their keep. These women
have been convicted mainly Of viola
lions of the postal laws, smuggling,
counterfeiting or white shaving.
While the women's prison will be
under control Of the warden, there
will be a woman superintendent and
under her a corps Of subordinates.
Because Of being confined behind
double walls no guards will be neces-
sary. 1t will be a rule that no men,
especially men prisoners. be allowed
in the women's prison. The ONE
