INAUGURATION Of NEW SERVICE
The Western Union Telegraph Conn
pany Provides for Transmission
OF Day Letter at Low Rate

Manager Haverfield of the local
office of the Western Union Tele
graph company announces that eff
fective today the Western Union in
augurates a new form of telegraph
service, called the Day Letter, :"
which will afford many decided ad
vantages in telegraphic correspond
ence The Day Letter is designed
to be a companion to the Night Let +.
ter, which has already proved a
popular innovation. The rate charg
ed for Day Letter" of fifty words
or less is one and one-half times the
Might Letter" rate and for each
additional ten words or less, one
fifth the initial charge
For example, The Dallas-San An
tonic night letter rate is 40 cents
the day letter rate is one and on
half times that or so cents, with s
cents for each additional ten words
The Dallas-Houston night letter
rate is 3 cents, the day letter rate
is So cents with cents for each ad-
ditional ten words.
Day letters are to be written in
plain English, thus avoiding the de
lays and complications of code words
and code languages. They may oe
filed at any time and are to be trans
mitted as the facilities may permit
during business hours. full rate tele-
grams having priority of transmits
sion
AS the wires of the company are
in such demand during the mid day
hours, it is advisable that day letters
be filed as early in the day as posi-
Bile. Day letters will be accepted AZ
all offices of the Western Union for
transmission to any of its offices IN
the United States.
The day letter and night letter
give to the United States the cheap

Composition of An Egg.

More than 65 per cent. of every egg
is water Water also makes up So
per cent. of the hens body. Unless
a hen has water she cannot make
eggs, nor can she properly digest her
food. True, all foods contain some
water. Vegetables contain a great
deal, but all these sources will not be
sufficient to more than supply the
bodily wants Much water is used in
digesting the food and mach passes
off in breathing. Many hen that is
otherwise well fed fails to lay be-
cause she is compelled to go without
water, or to accept the alternative
to suck it out of the snowbank. When
laying freely a flock of fifty hens will
drink from four to eight quarts of wa
ter each day.

LITTLE STROLL OF SEA LION
Amphibian Escapes From Chicago
Theater and Flops Toward Lake,
Followed by Admitting Crowd.

Chicago.-A sea lion whose daily
task is to balance a ball on it's nose
the other night decided that it was
tired Of being a slave. So it topped
through pane Of glass in the rear
Of the Wilson theater and down into
the alley, shifted the air, felt the
snow and pointed it's nose toward
Lake Michigan.
A score of men, women and children
sighted the runaway and followed it,
not quite certain whether it repre-
sented some new form, of entertain
ment or was dangerous.
While the chase was on, with Lake
Michigan several blocks away, Mi
chael Licalzi, manager of the theater,
began to wonder what had become of
his prize attraction.
He hurried behind the scenes and
found a despairing group Of men who
had not the slightest idea what had
befallen the lion. Then some one OBJ
served the broken window and con
nected 1T, Sherlock Holmes fashion,

men Joined the search simultaneously.

.ONE-ARNED GUNNER
Cape Cod Hunter Who Shoots
Quickly and Well.
Frederick Higgins Lost His Right Arm
by a Hunting Accident but He
Can Shoot Just the
Same.

Boston, Mass.-Cape Cod has a gun
ner who knows the ways of the wood
cock, the game bird that frequently
shifts its home; the tricks of wound
ed wildfowl who will face death un-
der water rather than meet the hunt
er above; the migrations north and
south of the greater yellowleg so re-
markable for its noise and vigilance;
the coming Of the sandpipers, tho
snipes and the plovers. He is Fred
ertck Higgins of Orleans, well known
on the Cape as gunner who does his
shooting, decoy setting, boating, and,
in fact, everything in his days doings
with one hand. He has but one arm,
and that is his left.
Some ten years ago he lost his
right arm at the shoulder. The acct
dental discharge of his gun so shat
tered the bones that amputation was
necessary, but as great as was the loss
1T In no wise dulled the liking he had
for shooting When he recovered from
his severe injury he began practice at
one-hand shooting. It was a bit vex-
ing, if not in measure discouraging
at first, but the old love for hunting
birds in the uplands and winged game
along shore and in the water gave him
courage to proceed and conquer the
obstacles in his way. And he succeed
ed.
Mr.. Higgins has built comfortable
shooting box on one Of the good wild
fowl shores of Orleans. He employs
in duck shooting decoys of wood, and
live birds captured when wounded, and
tanned to stay near human habitation.
Nearly all varieties of the duck fam
lily fly past his cabin. The black duck,
sometimes called the dusky duck, and
one Of the widest of the wild fowl
family, frequently appears in season.
But the black duck is a suspicious, all
the-time-alert bird, and not even first
rate live decoys can be depended upon
to always coax one or flock of them
within effective shotgun range. Occa-

isionally, though, one or more of the
black duck family swims within range

! Other ducks that now and then drop
down to look at MIR. Higgins decoys
are the canvas back, mallard and the
spoonful, or shoveIer duck, which pos
4sess tender, deliciously-favored meat;
the teals, blue-winged and green
winged, once in a while appear along
shore, but usually they prefer inland
waters. The redhead is another duck
seen occasionally along the Cape
shores. Tt is a close relation of the
canvasback and is usually seen with
the latter. They are great divers and
remarkably fast swimmers.
Notwithstanding the loss Of his arm
Mr.. Higgins not only shoots quickly
and We'll. but he is also skilled in the
management Of boats. He owns a fast
yacht, which he manages as easily as
If he had never encountered accident,
and last summer he won several prizes
in the yacht races at Pleasant bay,

IN addition to hunting shore birds
and water fowl M. Higgins derives g.
considerable income from the sale Of
the QuahaUg, the delicious round, hard
cam Of the Atlantic coast. Some days
his diggings return him So, and occa-

OLD HENS CHICKS ARE BEST
Several Tests Prove That Offspring
of Mature Stock More Thrifty
and Vigorous.

Don't sell all your old hens. If you
intend using eggs from your flock for
Matching, you should keep a few old
hens to furnish them. The resulting
chicks will be stronger and heartier
than If incubated from eggs laid by
your spring pullets. The offspring of
the more mature stock will also prove
more thrifty and vigorous.
These facts were determined by
several tests made at Morgantown,
w. Va. Eggs from hens one, two and
three years old were used. In every
test the eggs from the older hens
Matched out more. heavier and strong
er chicks than did the eggs from the
pullets. And the chicks did not lose
this advantage in weight, for they
were materially heavier at the end of
forty days when the tests ended.
1t was also determined that 1t Is
a matter of prime Importance to have
the hens not only mature but unex-
hausted by previous heavy laying.
during the breeding season. Then the
very best results will be obtained in
respect to number, size and vigor of
the chickens.

CAREFUL TRAINING FOR COLT
Gle ntIeness Is Most Useful in Handling
Young AnimaIs-LittIe Fellows
Soon Become Friendly.

The old expression, breaking a
COLT has gone out of fashion.
A good colt is worth careful train
ing, which should commence before it
is month old, some say a year after
the colt is foaled By handling young
colts in a kindly manner they soon
learn to become friendly and they
seem anxious to do what you want
them to do.
The best breeders are very care
full not to brighten a colt. The mem
cries of colts are good; they never
forget abuse. If a colt has a good
disposition it can be coaxed to do al
most anything wanted Of it. Even
fancy tricks may be taught to young
animals, and they seem to enjoy the
learning.
When they grow large enough to
wear harness, they are all ready for
business, and are all the better for
doing little light work when they
are two years old. Right here, how
ever, is where a great many colts are
injured. Two-year-old colts lack the
hardness of bone necessary to stand
much of strain, but they can pull
the long end of double-tree hitched
to light harrow for an hour or SO
with positive benefit and they seem
to like it. When taken in from the
field and given little grain by way
of reward they eat it with great relish.
The most valuable horses are taken
in hand early in life. and carefully

trained in this way. Even horses in
tended for the road are better for
having a little experience in farm
work when young.
Gentleness is the principal argu-
ment to use in training a colt. You
cannot gain their confidence with
rough treatment or bOisterous Ian
guage. Establish a bond Of sympathy
between yourself and the colt and he
will try to do your bidding.
1t is never best to put bits in the
mouth Of a colt until he is ten months
or year old, as his mouth is very
tender and is liable to be injured. In
training the colt to lead a halter
should be used, and care should be
taken to see that the halter does not
fit too tightly about the head.
