Her Credit Was strained.

A young country merchant who had
something of a reputation for close
figuring was especially attentive to
the village schoolma'am. The young
woman had a sweet tooth and was not
known. Accordingly. she limited to
her admirer that box of chocolates
would be greatly appreciated on the
occasion of his next visit. Later the
suggestion was repeated and again
duly needed. The third time the sub
ject was broached, however, the dis
penser Of sweets turned deaf ear to
the entreaty.
Il don't know about taking that girl
any more candy" he confided to a
companion next day. "She's OWN me

In describing the daily life of a Ger.

views gives, by way of contrast, the
story that follows:
This calls to mind the English hui
morous writer who sketched out his
daily program as follows: Rise at
noon; breakfast at 1 stroll to the
club; attention to mail; some after
noon calls; ride in the park; dim
ner; a round of evening parties, and
then to bed.
But when do you do your literary
work." he was asked

Tuberculin Law Is No Failure.

To the charge that the tuberculin
test as applied to cattle is fake and
Intellectual to accomplish it's intended
results, Dean H. r. Russell and Supt.
George McKerrow make pointed reply,
unfolding the test as the most reliable
method for detecting the disease yet
known by scientists. Mr.. McKerrow
said that 81 out of 100 cases suspected
stage. The three remaining cases
where the presence of the disease is
not observable in the flesh are soon
heard of in every section OF the state,
and this number is multiplied to 1000
in the course of few weeks.
s'The tuberculin law may not be all
it should be-" said Dean Russell. ''That
it is effectual and is the best known
for detecting presence of disease is GER
tain. There may be some hardships
caused by the tuberculin laws requiring
a good bill of health before cattle can
be sold, but these are matters OF ad-
ministration of the law and these hard
ships should not be attributed to fail
ure of the test itself. [ have never
seen case where the tuberculin test
showed that the cow was infected but
what minute and perhaps microscopic
examination showed the disease was
present in the carcass. To abolish the
tuberculin test would be great step
backward. This body should memoir
ialize the legislature to correct the
abuses in the administration of the law,
to strengthen the measure in every
possible way, but in no case to listen to
the cry of those who would have the
law wiped from the statute books. The
trouble with the law is that the live
stock sanitary board hasn't the means
at hand to administer it."

"CoNSERvATIvELY speaking

'CoNsERvATIvELY speaking, over
$500, 900, 900 worth of the agricultural
products of this country are destroyed
by insects" said Prof. J. G. Saunders
in his address before the farmers in the
ten days course. They are to be found
almost anywhere, being as far as 20
feet beneath the surface of the soil and
are also present in water; in fact they
are plentiful everywhere that life ex-

five and six thousand eggs, which would
soon devastate the earth of everything
green if they were not checked by the
parasites, which alone kill countless

DAIRY AND FOOD COMMISSIONER EN-
ERY is being kept on the anxious seat
regarding his reappointment by Gov.
McGovern, though his term expired
some time ago. There appears to be a
well organized effort to induce the gov
ernor to sidetrack Mr.. Emery, whose
crime is that he is too diligent in the
enforcement of the pure food laws,
which makes him Objectionable to GER

crowded out by the enemies he has

Which means, furtherore, that he made a play to the foreigner. He agreed to pay the foreign debt, then borrowed more money or the confidence thus en- aendered. He let the foreigner in on the good things" in his country. He gave away concessions to build rail- roads and drew in big subsidies besides. even in cases where subsidy was not asked for. He gave away huge tracts of land. Foreign visitors to his coun- try he treated like civilized beings and a little better. American writers and publishers he entertained. Having created the warm feeling on the part of the foreigner, he played it from both sides against itself His own people he turned against the foreigner saying that the foreigner was only waiting to take the country; that a revolution against himself would mean interven- tion and annexation: that he was the only one who could be trusted to keep the rapacious foreigner at bay. The foreigner he turned against his people. telling him that they were unfit to gov 'ern themselves; that successful re- bellion would mean repCdi;.tion of the foreign debt and confiscation of the property of foreigners in the country.
 Which means, finally, that he made no provision for the future of the coun- try after he is gone; that he neither trained the people to take his place nor trained any individual to take his place; that his country was brought to the verge of ruin, that revolution at the end of his reign was made an inevi- liability, where political chaos is the natural outcome and modern state can be built only after period of strain and stress and perturbation and calamity
 Why have Americans hailed Diaz as the greatest statesman of the age, as the hero of the Americas as the mas ter builder of great commonwealth. as the maker of modern Mexico, as the creator of a nation, as the greatest of peacemakers, as the Moses and the Joshua of his people, as a thousand other things that are great and good and beneficent?
 I am now ready to answer that question. It is because he has made it pleasant for Americans who happen to be in position to influence public opinion.
 Do not misunderstand me do not mean that Diaz has bought with money or with favors the good words of all. or one half or one tenth of the promi- nent Americans who have spoken SD enthusiastically of his great work.
 There are Americans who have known full well the character of Diaz and his system, and who. because they were interested in Investments in Mex ico which depended for their Immediate success largely on d confidence among Americans in the righteousness and stability of the Diaz government. con
