PREDICTS ANOTHER DRY YEAR
Rainfall In 1910 Went to the Low Rec.
ord of 1895, and 1911 May Be
Even Worse.

New York.-The records of the New
York weather bureau show that the
year 1910 was the driest on record in
thus section, with the single exception
of 1896 in both these Gears the total
precipitation was less than thlrty-six
inches, or about rs per cent. below
normal
This year may be even worse, If the
record of the first three months is any
indicator. For January, February and
March the bureau records shortage
of nearly three inches from the nor
NAL rainfall, although heavy snowfalls
during these months are generally
counted on to swell the years total.
The government weather sharps are
inclined to think, judging from present
indications and past performances
that the years rainfall will be fully
10 per cent less than last year.

Philadelphia Pa--investigatlng the
death of an infant that was found
scantily clad and drenched by the

of the Society to Protect Children
From Cruelty, that women have at
tempted to coerce men into matrimony
by getting babies from the farm and
foIsting them off as their offspring
upon the men whom they sought to
wed
From the lips OF Lillian Hinkle, he
learned that she had purchased baby
for five dollars from the baby farm,
and that she had plotted with her
sweetheart u gain the permission OF
his parents to their marriage by ex-
hibiting the baby and declaring 1t to
be their child
The woman was held, charged with
the death of the child, by Coroner
Ford, By special request of Assistant
District Attorney Patterson, without
bail, to await the action of the grand
jury
With the Hinkle woman was held
Edwin Rose who gave the same ad.
dress as the woman. He was charged
with being implicated with the girl
and was not admitted to ball It was
brought out in the testimony that Rose
and the Hinkle woman had been en-.
gagged to marry but that the union
was opposed by the young mans fam
lily.
The woman admitted when question
cd that she and Rose had schemed to-
gether to outwit his parents by buying
the baby then declaring TO his father
and mother that the child was their
own. Explaining the infants death.
she says 1t sickened suddenly. and
she did not know what to do with 1t.
When she found 1t dead in the morn
ing, she says she walked the streets
for hours carrying the body, and final

SAMSON'S BAD STREAK
MADE THINGS REAL LIVELY IN
AN IDAHO TOWN.
Turns Over Loaded Wagons, Upsets a
Blacksmith Shop and Sets Natives
on the Run--Oid Samson
Gets Lambastlns.

Philadelphia Samson" began the
old Snowman to a group gathered
about him listening to his stories Of
old-time circus life, was one OF the
biggest elephants that America has
ever seen. He was usually pretty
decent sort of an animal, but his first
bad streak struck him out in Haley,
Idaho. We were just coming in from
the street parade. In this procession
Samson carried on his back a ten
piece band. Lucky for those ten loot
ers they had just dismounted.
Then Samson beat 1t. He led off
toward the cage wagon holding the
lions. One of them reached out its
paws. getting back to its old jungle
rivalry, and this. perhaps, made Sam
son shy off. He struck the four-horse
team and knocked them into a kicking
heap. Then he struck off across the
field and overturned ten cages.
Lucky for US, since there. were
plenty of townspeople about, none Of
the cages were broken. Samson was
giving us all we wanted to attend to
just then.
There was blacksmiths shop just
across the way, and Samson made a
Decline for this. He struck big
wagon loaded with ore and keeled 1t
over. Meanwhile lot of the natives
had climbed on top of the water tank
beside the railroad track. Samson
headed for this.
after seeing the way he had turned
over the loaded wagons, the natives
decided to take chance ON beating
ii across lots instead Of sticking 10
their perch. You ought to have seen
the hot streaks those people made for
the distance.
But some of the other natives got
In secure places and numbered their
Winchesters. Five of them scored
hits. Only one of them, however,
amounted to anything. This one hit
the elephant just between the hips
and plowed foot under the skin of
his back. II never feazed Samson.
He made another run toward the rail-
road tracks. but got TANNED between
two cars that we're loaded with iron.
That was our chance We swooped
down on him. lassooed him, and with
the assistance Of another elephant
quickly choked him intoSsubmission.
"You see, when an elephant feels
anything around his neck he doesn't
know enough to back out, but will
plunge ahead. With the elephant and
the circus men on the rope we were
able to cut off his wind. When we
got him down we fastened him tight.

the LET as the best single grain for
fattening lambs. 1t Is especially de-

wheat screenings hare both been used
to fatten lambs. This feed has too
much tendency to cause the lambs to
grow rather than fatten. When COM
bined with an equal amount Of corn
the lambs put on fat much more rap
idly. Oats is useful feed, but like
wheat Is more liable to induce growth
than fattening. II should be mixed
with corn for best results. Oilmeal,
cotionseed meal and gluten feed have
all been used in conjunction with corn
rations to good advantage. Not more
than one-half pound of either oilmeal
or cottonseed meal should be fed a
lamb weighing from fifty to ninety
pounds. While wheat bran in itself is
