had ever seen, and thousands OF per-
sons up and down the Atlantic coast.
in every part of which "Cap'n Dan'f' is
known, have made the same remark.
AS it happens. Captain Willard
never saw President Lincoln. SO he
can only imagine by comparison of pic
lures. how much he resembles him.
The captain has navigated the Allan
tic coast in sailing vessels ever since
boyhood, and once he went up the Po-
tomac within a few miles of Washing
ton, but that's the nearest he ever
came to the capital.
For 63 years of his II Captain Will
lard has been at sea in the coastwise
trade. He never fought under the
commander-in-chief whom he so much
resembles, but for two years he was
engaged in mounting guns in different
forts along the coast during the Civil
war

larly the kidneys which seem to suffer
most, as every victim complains OF

staple and they lift the product out OF
the bolls without injuring the plant.
One of the greatest difficulties that
was met with in perfecting this me-
chanical picker. was to so regulate the
machinery as to not harm the unripe
cotton bolls.
1t was demonstrated that this ma
chine can pick 225 pounds Of cotton in
80 minutes In an ordinary field. At
this rate 1t would pick nearly bale of
cotton in an hour In other words, 1t
does the work of fifteen or twenty
ordinary field hands. The services of
only one man is required to operate

man is required to unload the bags

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WOULDN'T BUY

CT necessaries Of life, those unfortun- ate> heathen having no department stores, so that they suffer for the most ordinary comforts. I was very proud 10 have the club meet at my house, for the women are among the best in town. Mrs. Kerplunk, the president, being the wife of the third assistant receiving teller at the Steenth Nation al bank Mrs. Pinkwood, wife of the deputy assessor, was reading a Splen- did paper on a new race of Saxages re- gently discovered in the arctic regions, said savages being so ignorant and be- nighted that when discovered they didn't even ask which team would win the pennant this year.
 While this was going on I heard my husband step into the kitchen, coughing as though his heart would break. He is afflicted with the worst cough I ever heard, one of his ribs having penetrated his lungs some, years ago when he attempted to ride trick mule at the circus, which was fool- ish thing for a man of his years to do-
 'T heard him rummaging in the cup board for his cough medicine, but paid no attention until recently he gave an agonizing howl as though he was being burned at the stake. Then he rushed into the room where all those refined women were, holding his stom- ach in both hands, and hope I never again shall hear such language from the lips of human being. The women shriel1ed and rushed from the room, and my husband, who really wasn't re- sponsible for what he was doing, threw chairs and other furniture after them.
 Fortunately the horse doctor was passing and l called him in and he said MT. Curfew had blind staggers and treated him for that disease, and he uuieted down after while and ex- plained that he had got hold of the wrong bottle and had swallowed three fingers of furniture polish, which, he said, wash made of melted tacks and chain lightning.

THE APPLE NEEDS BOOMING.

The freezing nlSNtS are upon us ana hundreds of barrels of apples. good. pad and indifferent. are going to waste .n the trees and under them in all tarts Of New England, although the crop is said to oe short by several million bushels.
 Thers is not a more healthful fruit than apples eaten ripe or cooked, and the canadisn farmers tell us they are good for stock properly fed. This years crop cf apples will make 30. uea, ,000 barrels. and the apple eating seascn lasts five months. In these five months each bodied, apple eater must dispose of his barrel. and as there are 900 apples to barrel it means a per capita of 100 apples a month. or three and oHe-third apples a day. By each bonafde apple eater doing his ful' duty according to the schedule thus set forth. the present years apple crop could be disposed of without export and to the general sat- isfaction of ali concerned
 There are apples as good as oranges which later on will fetch more in the market per dozen than the best f1ori- ia or California oranges; and the growers of these apples established an annual apple-day for the purpose os calling attention to them and in cressing the consumption.
 Explaining the reasons for the fall ing off in the demand for the apple, a contemporary says 1t is due to the making of tropical fruits which years ago were iuxuries, abund- ant and cheap The old, hardy pioneers it says. who were in the habit of carving up half dozen apples apiece before going to bed at night died, and their children took to bananas and fudge. Once the United States senate was scene of continu- ous apple pairing. Nowadays only a few of the older and wiser statesmen are addicted to this wholesome fruit.

THE BOY SCOUT OF THE EMPIRE

The Boy Scout is of British design and we are frequently told by oppeH- ents of the movement that iS is purely military there. The way te know is to read the English exploitation of the movement, for that tells.
 A writer for the Ottawa Citizen has this to say of the purpose of the movement throughout the empire:
 ."One great feature of the Boy Scout movement is the stimulus given to greater mental energy, and this while creat ting a greater mental develop ment does not necessarily entail neg lect of the equally important physical boy. The two, equally developed, will result in man well equipped for life's battle and this thorough equipment is the movements object
 He is influenced towards temper ance. and gains a sound knowledge of a broad, practical religion. He is not taught these, but must if intellectual gradually absorb them. He gets them on a good. sound working basis and learns to despise the words cant and hypocrisy. His outdoor fife brings to him the greatest sermons from Ma ture. that great preacher. His physi- cal health teaches him abstinence from all evil habits. and sermons and physi- cal health combined with a mind re- sultantly strengthened comprise trim ity gifting the Boy Scout with grad ually built up reserve of energy which in his after life as a man will prove invaluab ole to him and must tend to his greater business ability.
 Quick of eye. just as speedy in ac- tion, just as rapid mentally, he stands ready for the battle of life, full of energy and industry. Such men are what the nation wants, and the nation which can call them her sons can count on sturdy, noble race of men of high moral and physical ideal, of bright business ability, and of sterling honor"
 The better citizen is naturally pre- pared to be better soldier. Physical strength. mental acumen and we'll grounded honor and integrity are a true foundation for the best and ablest manhood and citizenship

KNOCKED COLLEGE WELLS.

When President Taft addressed the students of the University of Minne- sota recently, he took occasion to compare the distinctive barbaric yells' of the college boys today with the graceful hurrahs'' of Yale ITS and contemporary colleges, much to the arrangement of modern invention.
 He did not hesitate to register the opinion that American universities might well devote a little, more atten- tion to the study of manners.
 It is not likely the president thinks they have fewer manners than other young men of their age and breed ing. but that as representatives of great educational institutions their manners should be better than the average Good manners and graceful ness should go hand in hand with the best mentality.
 There is no reason why the college spirit should be boisterous or frivol- ous for it has breadth and ability enough to always exhibit the best there is in youth without any display of eccentricitN.
