At the Grand.

The bill at the Grand is good this
week.
Peru and Wilson, comedy pantomime
artists. are especially clever. The man
is a good juggler and does some bal
ancing work with a spinning plate and
a whip that gets big hand. They
handle some empty sugar barrels, like
small boy and top.
Richard Cummings & Co. have a
melodramatic playlet, Little Steve,
which gives opportunity for the small
boy of the company to get in some
amusing street urchin repartee. The
tragic parts are not so well received.
Arthur Denim, the black face come

gagement and his place on the pro-
gramme has been taken by the
LeBouefs who have a clever and novel

Salina, the dancing girl in the lions
den," is the stellar attraction of the
bill. Two big, tawny lions do her
slightest bidding and are well trained.
She rides astride the fercest of the
big beasts and pulls his whiskers till
he snarls and snaps She is a graceful
dancer and the act gets a big hand.

TUESDAY, MARCH "a, 1911.
LINcoLN's WIFE.

Has anyone ever written a book en-
titled Wives of Successful Men?
II the task has not been done, some
aspiring author might find a theme
worthy OF the most arduous study.
The idea is suggested by a step
which has been taken by the Southern
Women's club of Chicago, who will en-
deavor to have a memorial building
erected to the wife of Abraham Lin
coin.
The personality Of the rail-splitter
who immortalized himself has been so
picturesque and so sublime-that the
world has taken little enough interest
in the woman who was his helpmeet.
But is not such a woman entitled to
memorial? Are not the wives of all
great men worthy of sharing the great
ness Of their husbands?
Greatness is divided by so thin line
from failure that it is easy to over
look the little things which insure a
mans success in life. The greatest in
struments would yield no music if they
were not properly tuned--yet the peo-
pie have a habit of talking about idle
matters while the tuning is being at
tended to.
Abraham Lincoln was great, primar-
fly, because he was the master Of sim
pIicity and sincerity. But these quail
tiles might have been dimmed, If GER
tain influences had prevailed. Could
he have been tranquil, always, if he
had not been enabled to begin the day
with tranquility? Could be have found
an optimistic point to every anecdote
If he had not proved--in his own init
mate relationships-that optimism is
only another word for wisdom?
Abraham Lincoln began life by see
ing things in their true light because
Of a wonderful woman-his mother.
He ended his life by holding his stand
ards high TO the end. Does it not seem
certain that much of his success in this
was due to another woman--his wife /?
1t is noble to remember the song
but is it not well to bear in mind how
lovingly and we'll the instrument was
kept in tune?

who was arrested on a charge OF
drunkenness Thursday, tried twice
during the evening to take the heating
proposition into his own hands.
When Doyle was first arrested he
was given the run of the entire Jail,
but his sphere of activities was less
ened when he attempted to smash up
the benches. He was then placed in
the cage and not heard from again
until clouds of smoke were seen COM
ing from the basement. An investi-
CATION showed that he was trying to
burn the blankets and mattress ins the
cell These were taken away and he
was searched for matches.
This did not stop his interest in the
heating industry, however, as the chief
of police found when he went to the
Jail about o'clock. In some way Doyle
had found another match, broken the
cell bench to kindling wood and had
just started merry blaze.
He was then left with nothing to
burn and nothing to burn it with.

TAFT AND TARIFF.

The New York Journal of Commerce
comments upon President Taft's tariff
programme, as follows:
1t is stated from Washington that
preliminary arrangements have been
completed for cooperation between
the administration and the democrats
in the matter of tariff revision" These
preliminary arrangements appear at
present to consist of an agreement be-
tween the tariff board and the ways
and means committee to cooperate in
the use of the material gathered by the
former in determining what changes
should be made in certain schedules.
This is taken as signifying an under
standing between the president and the
tariff reform leaders among the house
democrats in an effort to accomplish
something worth while at the extra
session besides making the reciprocity
agreement with Canada effective. The
schedules spoken OF as likely to be
taken up are those of wool and woolens.
cotton and iron and steel. The tariff
board has been gathering information
relating to the first two, and il is said
that the bureau of corporations has
been collecting data upon iron and
steel for five or six years which can
be turned over to the board for use.
1t may be that the tariff board,
which indirectly represents the presi-
dent. may work harmoniously with the
ways and means committee to devise
moderate changes In these schedules
which the president would accept. TO

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS FROM A. C..

Q. What is the best way to handle
land that had Russian thistle or cac-
tus on 1T last year and was fall plowed
and the cactus turned under?
Answered by Dean ]. H. Shepperd
of the agricultural college.
Where dried cactus stems have been
turned under the problem of crushing
them down so that the furrow slice is
packed upon the bottom of the furrow
is the one which the owner faces. If
this is not done the moisture below
that thin layer of surface soil will not
be able to get across the space and
the. crop will be light on account of
the droughty effect which it will bring.
A Campbell sub-surface packer we'll
weighted down will bring this packing
effect better than any other which I
can name. The Campbell packer has
marrow wedge shaped wheel rims
which cut into the soil when weighted
and give side pressure as we'll as
direct packing downwards. A CORFU
gated roller will bring a similar result
to a less marked degree.
1t is unfortunate that the cactus
stems become dry and woody before
being plowed down, as they rot very
quickly when they are green and sue
culent, and would have then added
slightly to the humus content of the
soil and to that extent would have
helped hold the moisture for the crop
O. What is the best way to en-
courage birds?
Answered by DR.. w. b. Bell of the
agricultural college.
There are many things which may
be done to encourage birds. Trees
planted about the home not only are
attractive in themselves but soon you
will find the birds will come to them
build their nests, free the trees and
surroundings from many injurious in
sects and gladden. your home with their
gladstone songs. Wild native fruit
trees planted about the house and or
chard will attract birds and save your
tame fruit from attack as birds pre-
fer wild fruits.
The construction of simple bird
houses out of hollow sticks and boards
or small boxes and placed in suitable
protected places in trees, on poles oil
on buildings will also attract birds and
help them materially. The scattering
of food such as crumbs from the table
or small grain where birds may gel
1t undisturbed will help. 1t is especial.
ly important that large numbers OF
people become accustomed to feed
birds in winter by scattering grain

pie food where they may get it undis-

ANTI-PRoFANITY PLEDGE.

Tennessee Masons-seven hundred
strong-pledged themselves to forego
profanity.
At the suggestion of Worshipful
Grand Master Byrne, the delegates to
the annual session Of the Grand Lodge
of Tennessee rose as one man in ex-
preston of their desire to forward the
movement against the profane use of
Gods name
This action is similar to a pledge re-
Gently made by Iowa Masons, and is in
line with the great movement inau-
gurated by the Holy Name societies of
the Catholic church to check the TAX
ing Of the name of the Deity in vain.
This extract from Worshipful Grand
Master Byrnes address indicates the
attitude Of the great Masonic order to-
ward profanity:
7 There is one other matter to which
] desire to direct your attention. The
strongest portion of the foundation
upon which Masonry stands is rever-
ence for the Divine Being, the Grand
Master OF the great universe in which
( he operates. No man can be a Mason
T unless he believes in God and looks to
Him in worship. This being true the
name Of God should be sacred to every
member of our beloved brotherhood.
1t should never be lightly considered,
even in our thinking, and should never
fall from our lips except in Worship
or alteration. Any man who takes this
holy name in vain is guilty of conduct
unbecoming to a Mason. Such a thing
as profanity should be as foreign ia
the members Of our order as it would
be for us to neglect a needy brother.

Tales of the Street

A prominent North Dakota suffrag-
cite was asked her views on genius
and insanity. AS she is a militant
worker for her cause she is said to
lay every bad and malevolent symptom
in human nature to the door of mascu-
line persuasion. She has long fought
for the cause Of equal suffrage and
roundly denounced the brutes of men
who silence the voice of women tax
payers, and in her attitude she is Bit
terly opposed by her husband who
takes the opposite view. So her hus-
band generally comes in for a good
share of notoriety when an example
for censure has to be cited.
DO you think genius and insanity
always go together" she was asked in
the Interview.
"Oh no." she replied quickly. 81 am

near dinner time.
The senate had gone into the COM
mittee of the whole with Senator Car

that all the sections of the bill up to
the orty-eighth be skipped over and
only the last sections read. But Sen
ator Simpson objected and objected
strenuously. He asked that his OBJ
lection be entered on the senate jour
nal.
Senator Carter informed him that no
journal was kept as the senate was
acting as a committee and not as the
upper house in regular session. Again
Senator Simpson stated he wanted his
objection entered in the journal and
he declined to allow the matter to &c
ahead until such objection was en-
tered. After being told repeatedly that
no record nor journal was then beins
kept, Senator Simpson declared in nc
gentle accents:
"Mr. Chairman. demand as a sem
ator on this floor, that my rights be
considered and that my objections b.
entered on the journal of this senate.
But Senator Carter, in a quiet way
was equally as firm and again refused
