it happen that l find four good cigars

Henry leave them for me?"

ladies object to profanity.

The woman golfers of New York
have made objections to swearing on
the links and have discussed the mat
ter in their clubs. The men who play
over the links are all supposed to be
gentlemen, but sometimes they are
not careful of their language. and
ladies have been made very indignant
by some speeches. 1t has been sug-
gested that notices be placed in the
clubhouses. but the fact that the
ladies have discussed the subject
will, no doubt. be all that is neces-
sary.

O'Rourke worked over the man as
tenderly as though they had been lie
long friends, with skillful fingers es-
timating the nature ana extent of his
wounds, with sound knowledge OF
rough and ready surgery doing all
that could be done to bring him back
to consciousness.
At last Des Trebes sighed feebly: a
spot of color, febrile, tickle, evanes-
cent. dyed his cheeks; his breath rat
tied harshly in his gullet; his eyelids
twitched and opened wide. He glared
blankly at the face above.
"Des Trebes!" cried ORourke. "Des
Trebes!"
His voice quickened the intelligence
of that moribund brain. A flash OF
recognition lighted the staring eyes.
The lips moved without sound.
"Des Trebes!"
''Ah, yes the Irish
man :"
The whisper was barely articulate.
O'Rourke put to his lips cup of
brandy diluted with a little water.

shut his teeth. moving his head i'm
perceptibly from side to side in token
of his stubborn refusal.
So he died, implacable. In death
the chiselled features remained set
in a smile sardonic and triumphant
Dying, he gave no comfort to his
foe.
For a little time longer O'Rourke
knelt at Des Trebes' side, watching

heavily, shook his head, shrugged his
shoulders and rose. And, rising, he
perceived for the first time that he
was no longer alone with the dead in

from the corner of his eyes. Then he
heard stifled cry of fright. He had
already his revolver in his hand. so in

A FINE STRAIN.

Captain j. j. Grow, of this city,
has developed a very fine strain of
White Leghorns. Three years ago he
bought some splendid birds of the
Wyckoff strain and by careful breeding
has now some of the finest pullets the
writer has ever seen. They are larger
than the average and lay remarkable
fine, large eggs. The captain has a
very pretty flock of some 400 birds in
the southeast part of the city, where
he and Mrs. Grow have built very
substantial and profitable small poul-
try plant. They have used all up-to-
date methods and have plant that is
easily kept in fine condition with a
minimum amount of work. ID.

THE POULTRY RAISERS' CANDIDATE

This department does not concern
itself with politics unless it be some
practical band of politics that will
benefit the poultry raisers. 1t was
necessary to go into politics to get
the parcels post, and into politics we
must dip again to secure a measure
of more immediate and vital benefit
to us, the regulation of the trade in
storage eggs. 1t will be no easy task,
believe me, and no possible source of
strength should be neglected. 1t we
are to WIN against a formidable OPP
position equipped with a corpulent
Jackpot" we must neglect no OPP
portunity to strengthen our forces at
Olympia. Now there is one man

THIEvERY THAT SHOULD BE
CHECKED.

fOulbfy fdlSoTS are UoSot Will nOIe
depredators = animal, vermin and
human-than any other class OF
people. One most annoying petty
graft is that of the thievish express
messenger who pliers his chicken
dinners from the crates in his care.
This graft is widespread and few
people make many shipments OF
poultry without suffering from it.
The writer has been told more than
once that it is the usual thing for the
express messengers to supply their
own larder, and that of their friends
among the train crew, from the crates
of poultry en- route to market; and
he has had as high as 80 per cent OF
his broiler shipments check short at
destination The shippers in the
country can very quickly put an end
to this thievery and that will be one
more step towards the lettering OF
present conditions. When shipping
live fowls to market count the birds
carefully and have one other person,
two others if possible, verify your
count so that when shortage is re-
ported you can support your claim
for payment will. convincing affida-
Wits. DO this and your claim will be
paid, rest assured of that Ii your
proof Of pilferage is convincing the
claim will be paid by the express
company and deducted from the
salary of the employee in fault.
1t is mistaken idea that people
have that the express companies never
pay claims for loss and damage. On
the contrary, of late years they have
settled claims with quite reasonable
diligence, and the writer has first
hand knowledge OF at least seven
claims paid for loss or damage to
poultry products during the past Il
months. The right thing to do is to
make claim whenever you suffer loss
If you have convincing evidence on
your de you will be paid; and In
other cases your complaint will be the
means of improving the service.
Try this remedy. If you have had
returns on a shipment accounting for
one or two fowls less than you ship
ped. notify your consignee to have
proof of his count next time he re-
celves fowls from you; be equally
careful at your end of the line, and
when next a discrepancy occurs go to
it. These little sneak thieves deserve
no consideration and will not receive
any from their employers. The latter

"a Sair White Orpington cockerel could
be bought for $50 and pen of four
hens and one cockerel sold for $500
several years ago. IL is not necessary
to go to such an extreme limit, ex-
cellent fowls can be had for much less
money. But this example will show
how foolish it is for buyer to expect
to get perfect fowl for few dollars.
Judge Collier once told me that he
received a money order for three
dollars from an intending purchaser;
same being the purchase money for
Buff Rock cockerel, which Mr.. Collier
breeds to high degree OF excellence.
The purchaser described the kind of
a cockerel he wanted, and his de-
scription was copied word for word
from the Standard of Perfection's re-
uuirements for a perfect specimen.
This man probably thought he showed
himself a real sport in sending all
that money for cockerel. And every
breeder has similar experiences.
The greener man is the nearer a
perfect bird he expects for a few-a
very few-dollars.
Always the same striving on the
part of our poor human nature to get
something for nothing. We are none
of us entirely exempt from it. l
once sold cockerel for S.. 90 to
man who lived long ways out in the
country and who appointed to drive
in several miles to meet the bird on a
certain train. So | was very anxious
to ship him on time but, as luck
would have it, he escaped when l was
Grating him up for shipment and flew
half ways across the ranch. Not
wishing to disappoint my customer,
and having very little time to spare,
I grabbed up cockerel from a near
by pen reserved to head my own
breeding pens later and shipped him
instead. The bird | shipped was
easily worth 500 or S25, large and
splendid specimen; pure white, long
of body and tail, the latter carried
low, and with sickles - inches in
length. He had seven point comb,
but it was very fine in texture and so
prettily shaped as to present a nice
appearance in spite of the two extra
points. I grouched lot over having
to ship such bird, you may believe.
Well few days later [ heard from
nv customer. How he roasted me
about the seven points on that

thing he saw, apparently, and he was
indignant. So he got his money back,

To keep the steamers Capital City and

aboard them to work in comfort, steam Is
to be kept up in the boiler Of the steamer
City of Milford and conveyed by covered
pipes to the other steamers lying on the
opposite side of wharf from the Milford,
and connected with their steam heaters.
BY this means the vessels will be kept

Taking advantage of the enforced lay
up of the steamers of the Potomac and

ice covering the river. the managers OF
the line will give the boats thorough
overhauling of machinery and boilers. SO
as to have them ready for active service
