Taft and the administration arc getting action regarding Mexico. Per haps we will have bunch of red hot tamales on our hands before long. Something win have to be done to straighten out matters down there. and II Is only q question of time when Uncle Sam will have to take off his coat and take the Mexicans across his knee. administer 10 them a good spanking and command them to be good. Then you can place your bets they will he mild and tame little fellows.

With the confirmation Of Judge F.. r. Cushman. for promotion. we can expect to hear Of certain attorneys getting busy to try and land the AL aska ludgeship made vacant st Val dez. by the Hon. Cushman being call. ed tc Tacoma.
 We understand there orc several candidates for the position but can not get line on the successful per son. 4 few claim that Albert Fink Will land the plum and Thomas White will be his right bower. but of that we know nothing. Others believe Judge Rodey will be tho man and Is held in Seattle for that purpose. then again We bear thnt F. F.. Fuller may escure the position: but we do not believe he is even after it.

The seven out ot the eight delegates at large refusing 10 swing into line for Taft. when they were elected for Roosevelt, command our respect. for should they do otherwise. they would not be living up to tho trust placed in them by the voters We will watch and see what develops in the con vontior as tho outcome of tho afstssa- chusetts primary. for it strikes many as rather strange that a state will so solid for Taft by popular vote. elect ing every delegate but the eight at large. and not secure them also.

of education.
 or the college men who succeed. who shall say they succeeded by and through the aid tho college gave. or in spite of it9
 Yet many men who win will wall ''Gf only had the advantage of college training"
 II SO 1t might have ironcd all the individuality out Of them
 Yet I would have every man have a college education in order that he might see how little the thing is real ly worth. I would have every man rich that he might know the worth lessness of riches.
 To take a young man away from work. say at eighteen years of age. and keep him from useful labor. in tho name of education. for four years. will some day be regarded as q most absurd proposition. Ii is the most gigantic illusion of the age. Set in motion by theologians. the idea was that the young person should he drill ed and versed in sacred" themes.
 Hence. the dead languages and tho fixed thought that education should be esoteric
 This separation from the practical world for number of years. where no useful work was done and the while attention fixed on abstract themes and theories. often tended to cripple the man so that he could never go hack to tho world of work and usefulness. He was no longer pro- ducer. and had to he supported by tithes and taxes.
 And, of course. as ho did not in- tend 10 go back 10 the world of work and usefulness. it really didn't make any difference if he did TInk into q pupa-like condition of nullity.
 In tho smaller colleges many in- stances arc found of students working their way through school My experi- ence leads mo to believe that such students stand very much better chance in tho worlds race than those who are made exempt from practical affairs by having everything provid- ed. The responsibility of caring for himself is a necessary factor In mans evolution.
 And the point of this preachment Hes right here--that 10 make a young man exempt from the practical world. from eighteen 10 twenty-two. is fo run the risk of ruining him for life Possibly you have taken opportunity from him and turned him into a mem ory machine.
 There are persons who arc always talking about preparing for life. The best way 10 prepare for life is to be- gin to live.
 A school should not be prepara- tion: a school should be life.
 Isolation from the world in order to prepare for tho worlds work is folly You might as well take q boy out of the blacksmith shop in order to teach him hlacksmithing.
 College Is a rnake-h believe. and every college student knows II. From the age Of fourteen and upward tho pupil should feel that he is doing something useful, not merely killing time. and eo I,;s xrorly oDd bie inct motion should go right along hand in hand.
 The educated man is the useful man.
 And no batter how many college degrees man has. if he cannot earn | m honest living he is an educated ignoramus. and is one with the yes terdays, doing pedagogic goose-step adown the days 10 dusty death.-Ex.

rnent over the two democratic candi- dates. who happen to be fin the city at tho same time. for both have friends at tho capital. Such a state Of affairs Is bound to create a little excitement. Were the two democratic candidates to reach Nome at the same time Nome ties would experience a little excite ment. for we arc informed both of these candidates are strong men capa- blc of winning over voters to their cause. And In Nome are to be found certain fellows who were working tooth and nail for wickersham two years ago. but now claim they are too strong party men to vote even for a local candidate if he had a chance to be elected. their party afiiliation being stronger than their local pride.
 The socialists should be taken into consideration. they are liable to de- yelop into a considerable factor In the coming delegate election. We believe they will stand hy their candidate even better than the labor vote did by theirs two years ago.
 |, can readily be seen the repub- licans are now busy all over the ter ritory organizing. and Will be in a position to put up a good strong fight when the time comes, that there is nothing 10 become excited over at the present time. but when the candi- dates get into tho harness and com mcnce to tour the territory there will be excitement in plenty for all.

To Make Them Stick.

Ever after the squabble between
Pickett's and Pettigrew's men as to
who got farthest at Gettysburg, the
North Carolinans and Virginians were
VIGOROUSLY jealous OF each others
valor. Once when a Virginian, staff
officer of General Wise, was riding
through a rather forlorn part of North
Carolina, he accosted a native homo
ON furlough:
How are you, North Carolina?"
"Fust rate. How are you, Virginia?"
mot much sale for tar now?"
Yes, indeedy," was the response.
I'VE sell all our tar to JEFF Davis"
THE thunder you do! What on
earth does the president want with
tar?"
TO put on the heels of you Vir-
'inians to make you stick on the bat.

wear. We take the quartermaster
boat. We row across the river, give
the countersign to the guards, and,
to quiet their suspicious, start up into
the town. Out of sight, take turn to
the left and to the Richmond jail.
We will then meet with a negro, who
will guide us ten miles up the river
and then leave us in charge of friend
ly blacks, who will keep us through
the next day and at night pilot us
farther along toward our lines.
THE big bell in Richmond strikes
six, and we close our diary, hoping
never to look upon 1t again until we
return to free our fellow prisoners
with the glorious army of the north.
Now we leave our diary to finish prep.
arations for the flight for freedom.
May God aid us in this land OF tyr.
amy, where we have met nothing but
suffering. Good-by, Belle isle and
prison! Hail, freedom, home, friends
and the grand army of the old flag!
What is in store for us in the future?
February 5.-Have been reading
over the last few pages Of my diary.
1t sounds well, but the rebel flag still
floats over Belle Isle. Our escapade
was a grand fizzle and all hands have
been punished in more ways than one
In the last few days. Lieutenant Bos-
sieuX suspected something going on
among us and had us secretly watched,
and long before we had made a move
toward fulfilling our projected plans
we were thrown into a guardhouse;
next morning taken out of 1t and I'M
derwent a severe cross questioning.
The result has been that we were
bucked and gagged twice a day for
an hour each time and for four hours
each Of US carried big stick of wood
up and down In front of the gate, a
guard to prick us with his bayonet IL
we walked too slow to suit him. Then
Hendryx has been strung up by the
thumbs. Nights we have been thrown
into a damp, cold guardhouse to SILVER
all night. Every day now for five
days we have walked with our sticks
of wood SO many hours per day, and
last night were turned inside with all
the prisoners to stay, Bossieux says.

Today the subject of procuring supply OF
manure is concerning the minds OF great
many farmers. This has given me much wor-
nv at times and is only mastered by hard Ia
Dor and study.
Perhaps, however, I have not secured my
manure all in the same way as most gardeners
do True all farmers and gardeners cannot
secure great amount of their manure as
have secured much of mine
In the first place l have tried to make as
much manure on my farm as possible and also
tried to save as near all of it as possible. Also
l have made practice of always having some
green growth to turn under at different times
and derived much benefit from it.
But much of my farm fertility has come
from a 25 acre wood land, which | several
years ago purchased from neighbor. This
land is rough and stony.
The timber is worth very little except to
keep the land shaded and shed foliage to rot.
The rock on the land is of a gravelly nature
and when it rains seems to dissolve somewhat
and when mixed with the rich dirt and my
farm soil, seems to make an ideal soil.
Here in my country there is much land that
is of this type and fit for nothing practically.
or at least cannot be cultivated.
l bought this piece of land ten years ago and
I have hauled a great number of loads OF rich
dirt and sand mixed every year and still nave,
it seems, as much to haul as when L nrst
bought ii.
l gave 500 for the % acres at first and
have received that much back every year IN
fertility.
However, l do not try 10 cover my entire
farm every year, but rather select few acres
and have some green crop to turn under and
applv about 20 loads of this fertility per acre.
with only a few loads of barn-yard manure, say
about four or I've This is not done to the

Gathering and Using Waste Fertility
BY r. B. RUSHING.

land every year, that is to the same land.
l select say about five acres each year to
give renovation, apply about 100 loads of this
woods dirt and about 15 or 20 loads of barn
yard manure thoroughly incorporated with the
soil and it produces good crops.
Some land of course will not need quite so
much of this, but some of my land is of clay
loan and in former years has not been very
rich and thus it requires heavy applications to
bring it up to high producing state.
Not only in my country is it possible to have
such supplies but in many places such sources
are available. The trouble is that these
sources are overlooked.
l know a few farmers in my neighborhood
who have bought few cars of manure and had
it shipped from Chicago, and their farms
there are waste places that they can get about
all the fertility they need to mix with their
soil.
Five years age l bought one car myself and
| must say that have had far better results
from the land that received the wood leaf
mould and dirt than from the Chicago manure.
In fact, have never used anything that gave
better immediate results than does this. have
had to buy little lime occasionally, but never
had to buy nitrogen and | never expect to.
In using this in my cold frames, all the spe-
cial treatment that it receives is to thoroughly
work it into a good soil, or fairly good SOIL
As to my hot beds, use the fire beds and ap-
ply the rich dirt for planting the seed.
While l am great believer in buying the
proper elements of plant food when 1t is neces-
sary, yet l also believe in looking around and
trying to find some source near home from
which to supply needs and save money.
| think there should be just as great econ
oIny practiced in feeding the soil as in feed
ing the animals. The cost of production must
be considered.

DARING ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE

will observe that the slender posts support a
perfect network of wires. Stretching from
post to post are main wires, supported by
huge insulators of a pattern usually seen only
in the vicinity of Niagara Falls and elsewhere
where hfgh-power current is generated or
Transmitted. Crossing these principal wires at
right anges-six to the span between each
two poes-are finer wires, so that, taken as
whole, there is provided sort of wire screen
suspended about the height of man above
the burrows.
Were it a case of switching on electric light
when it was desired to give impetus to crops
in the ground it would be apparent to the
casual onlooker when the activity was in prog
ress, but with Uncle Sans method Of admin
istering the electric treatment things are not
so obvious hence the warning signs that hang
from the wires. Nevertheless, for all that,

with each of these electrified beds is check
portion" or plot of equal size where no electric
shower falls. BY conquering the yield from
the two plots in each pair and by contrasting
the production by the seven pairs of beds the
officials will be enabled to gauge very accu-
rately just what influence the electrical factor
exerts on the harvest. 1t may be added tnat IL
IS not the intention at any time to keep the
electric current flowing over the wire-sheltered
area continuously day and night That would
be likely to do more harm than good. Late
afternoons and early mornings will be chosen
for giving an electric boost to the growing
