ALFALFA
EXPERIMENT
PACKAGES
Congressman Roberts
to Distribute Them

Congressman Roberts has received
word from the Department of Agri-
culture that he has been awarded
consignment of select alfalfa seed
The seed is the result of experiments
on arid lands and it is to be planted
on such lands with the hopes of re-
producing and giving the farmers
results.
The amount of seed is limited and
Congressman Roberts will endeavo,
to forward it where it will do the
most good. Parties who will attend
to this seed as instructed and not
waste it will be forwarded a package.
There is enough in each instance for
about an acre of land and those who
file their names with him receive the
seed during the winter.
Mr.. Roberts is taking an active in
terest in this sort OF development
and certainly keeps in touch with the
departments that can do the people
good. In this case he explains that
it was a special concession. and the
department. is anxious that the seed
be given a favorable and fair test.
The seed is the selection from many
varieties and is considered as the
best adapted to this section of the
world or the arid portions where ir-
,rigation is limited
Considering the number of farm
ers who are endeavoring to carry on
dry farming, this small consignment
OF seed will be welcome and Mr..
Roberts hopes to secure other dry
farming seeds for the use of the Ne
new work along as fast as possible

He Wouldn't Tell.

The eminent Doctor Llorente, physi.
clan to the royal family Of Spain, told
a reporter in New York recently that
he thinks the American woman is
spoiled.
IN my own country" said Doctor
Uorente, "a woman is content to be
queen Of her household, but here wo-
man wants to be both king and
queen"
The doctor, smiling, continued:
Il was surprised to hear that In
some cases the American husband has,
actually, to conceal the condition Of
his finances from his wife in order
to curb her extravagances. Thus the
rich young wife's complaint to her
doctor, friend of mine in New York,
would be impossible in Spain, where
married people are happy companions.
at is so Ridiculous pouted my
friends young patient, to call the man
at the bank teller" Why he won't
tell you anything. l asked one the
other day how much money my hus-
band had on deposit and he just
laughed at me-"

ANCIENT CRIME UNPAID FOR
Murder 700 Years Ago Still Causes
Annual Tribute to Be Paid by
the Community.

Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds of the Valley of Roncal, in Ma
varra, were murdered by shepherds Of
the Valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Aries, in the Pyrenees.
1t would have been difficult to bring
the murderers individually to justice,
and the Spaniards we're preparing to
make war upon the valley from which
the French murderers had come, when
the French village proposed that peace
be maintained at the price of a yearly
tax or tribute. to endure for all time,
and this proposition was accepted
without demur.
The payment of this blood tax
originally three white mares, but later
three cows of a particular breed and
color-has been made ever since, the
custom-it is nothing rnore-having
survived even the great wars in which
both France and Spain have engaged,
and the storm of the French revolu-
ton.
Yearly the representative men of
the two valleys meet on the frontier,
at certain stone, remote from any
town, and 60 through the ceremony
of presenting and receiving the cattle.
The order of procedure, which is
elaborate and impressive, is fixed by
document bearing the date 1875,
though the tax was paid a hundred
years prior to that time.

Wisdom Worth Needing.

What is true of men can be true
Of women. The realm Of achieve
ment is sexless. The brain is not at
its best until you are forty or past.
A bishop in a play cried: "Oh, that
we we're born old and could die
young!" You are fulfilling in business
the bishops wish. He longed to start
the race with experience. That is
what you can do, may do, must do. Start
the real race. Count fourteen years
a the first half, as the learning time,
as the warming up time. Begin again.
Get your second wind. No man is
whipped until he takes the count. No
woman has failed until she tells her
soul she will no longer try. Work and
earn an old lady's home that shall
not be the old ladies' home.-Ex.
change.

Story of Clemenceau.

It is said that Monsieur Clemenceau
who bears the pleasant sobriquet of
the tiger" is about to connect him
self with a new journal to appear in
the near future. This return to the
limelight from which he had not with
drawn to any distance, gives occasion
for some new stories concerning him.
One of these is that a young man
applied to him for a place. DO you
know anything about foreign affairs?'
asked the tiger. Yes, monsieur"
was the answer to which he modestly
added, "a little" Clemenceau ap-
peared greatly astonished. "Ah, truly!
Do you know what is the question Of
the Orient, the Austro-H Hungarian prob
lem, and pan-Slavic politics?" Yes,
monsieur" Then the tiger turned on
him. This is too wearisome. II
would amuse ME much more If you
knew nothing at all"
