HARLAN,
DISSENTING
JUSTICE

- Ohm MARSHALL HARLAN. an |
s. associate justice of the United
a 81 States supreme court who re-
Gently delivered dissenting opin-
ions in the cases of the Standard Oil
company and the American Tobacco
company, is seventy-eight years old.
Dec 10. 1910, he had been on the SUI
preme bench thirty-three years. He
has been associated there with twenty
six of the sixty-two men that have
served on the bench of the nations
highest court.
Justice Harlan was born In Boyle
county. KY, the son Of James Harlan,
a lawyer of the state. His early years
were spent at Frankfort, the capital
Of his native state. Harlan was pre-
cocious boy, and after graduating from
Center college when seventeen years
old he began studying law In his IA
TIERS Office.
Nature Made Him an Orator.
Those were the days of stump ora
tory in Kentucky, and stump oratory
fourished there as nowhere else. John
Marshall Harlan adapted himself to
the surroundings with ease. Nature
had made him an orator-a striking
physique, a commanding presence and
a brilliant mind were his. He had
equipped himself with an extraordi-
nary vocabulary and stock of infor-
nation that met every demand. So
it was inevitable that young Harlan
should figure in molding public opin
ion ia Frankfort and its vicinity.
His first effort was a success. He
was invited by John j. Crittenden's
son, Thomas Crittenden, to accompany
him to town few miles from Frank
fort, where he had speaking engage
ment. Harlan went At the conclu-
sion of Crittenden's speech rainstorm

schoolhouse in which the meeting was
held. There was an old farmer there
that knew James Harlan, and he in
vited the son to speak. To fill in the

ARE POLO
CHAMPIONS

TS lie recent polo match at West
81 bury, N. Y, in which the
= Americans successfully de-
Tended the international polo
sun against the English chaliengers,
was a big success socially as well as
from sporting standpoint. The match
was to have been best two in three
affair. but the Americans won two
straight, making the third game I'M
necessary.
Nearly $4,000 persons saw the games
New York's Four Hundred were ceas-
spicuously present, and the grann
stands presented glorious scene OF
color and life. The daintily costumed
women were radiant iii their magnlf-
cent gowns. The governor of the state,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and other
distinguished persons occupied boxes
Roth games were close and exciting
throughout, and three-quarters OF the
sDectators were continually on their
feet cheering the thrilling dashes,
seemingly impossible shots and spirit
ed riding. The Americans won through
suDerior horseflesh and team WORK.
AS a spectacle polo is one Of the great
est Of games-easy TO follow and ex-
citing to watch. It is, however,
rich mans game, because of the cost
of keeping strings of ponies and pro-
viding good grounds.

upon wind instruments DR.. James F.
Rogers recently consulted Groves Die
tionary of Music and Musicians and
Champions encyclopedia of Music and
Musicians" and calculated the average
age of 100 performers upon wind in
struments and of a like number upon
stringed instruments. The average
length Of life Of players upon wind in
struments was 63.5 years and of play
ers upon stringed instruments 81 years
OF the former 81 per cent reached
ages above 70 years.
For the different wind instruments
the average ages were as follows:
Flute, 61.2 years; oboe, 63 years; bas-
seen, go years; horn, GIL years; clar-
met, 65.2 years; trumpet and cornet,

Organized a Union Regiment.
Young Harlan inherited the dislike
of his father for all doctrines Of seces-
sion and notification. Naturally when
the civil war broke out the son took
up the cause Of tie Union. He raised
the Tenth infantry regiment of Ken
lucky and served in command Of it in
the division of General George FL.
Thomas When his father died sud-
denly In 1863 he resigned his COM
mand, although he knew that his name
was before the senate for confirmation
as brigadier general. After the war he
held number OF Kentucky offices.
Nov. %, 1877. he was commissioned an
associate justice of the United States
by President Hayes.
When Harlan's ambitious parents gave
him the name of the greatest chief
Justice the United States had known
they desired their son to occupy the
seat that made John Marshall famous.
They gave him unlimited education in
law and encouraged him In public life.
Had they been alive last year they
would have seen their early ambition
realized. John Marshall Harlan was
acting chief justice. In December he
surrendered the chair to Edward d.

Ration For a Bull.

A ration for the bull should be
rather rich in protein. One rich in
carbohydrates tends to fatten and to
impair his provocative powers, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Silage is not con-
sidered a good feed for the bull. If
1t is fed it must he given in very
limited quantities. Where it is pos
sible a liberal allowance Of clover
and timothy hay should he given and
then enough concentrates, such as a
mixture of bran. oats and corn and oil
meal. The corn. oats and bran may
be mixed in equal parts by weight
and then feed enough OF this mixture
to keep the animal in good physical
condition, besides giving him from one
fourth to one-half pound Of oilmeal
daily. With timothy hay as roughage
the concentrates should contain the
higher percentage Of protein. \ mix
ture consisting of 100 pounds bran, 200
pounds oats, 100 pounds cornmeal and
100 pounds oilmeal would supplement

the combination to keep the animal

SuccuIent Feed For lambs.

Recent experiments at the Iowa
station show that with corn at ordinary
prices, cheaper gains IN lambs may be
made with dry feed than with roots or
silage. When corn and silage are low
In price the gains made with silage
are a little cheaper than those made
with dry feed.
The largest total gains were made by
the lambs getting sugar beets, and the
finish of this lot was also a little bet
ter. The lot getting turnips and cab
bages required the largest amount Of
dry matter for each 100 pounds gain.
Silage and dry feed came next.
The least amount of dry matter was
required where sugar beets and man
gels We're fed. The chief objection to
mangels and sugar beets is the large
amount Of hand labor required 10 raise
