There seems 10 be quite a suspicion
that w. ). Byran will yet he the nomi-
nee for president on the Democrat tick
ct. This suspicion is based upon the
fact that so many candidates are In
the field and are receiving substantial
support that no one of them will be
able to gather in a majority. In that
case compromise candidate would be
the logical result and Bryan stands the
best show for that role.

The kickinu Cow.

In many instances the mixer makes
or unmakes a cow. Better never put a
fine COW into the hands Of a poor milk.
er. 1t will do no harm, however, and
1t may do much good to put the poor
cow into the hands Of a good mixer.
The COW that is naturally vicious and
possesses a tendency to kick or switch
her tail in the mixers face at frequent
intervals is apt to so exasperate that
person that he may not only handle her
roughly, but also deal out the same
treatment to the other cows. Thus she
is a detriment to the entire herd in an
indirect way.-Farm and Fireside.

Mrs. H. N. Tragitt, daughters Bessie

last Thursday for Minneapolis to visit q
couple of weeks with friends before
going to their new home at Rowland,
Mo. Rev. Tragitt and Horatio remained

Rev. Tragitt has been pastor of the
local Episcopal church for more than
fourteen years, attending the local par

In his church work Rev. Tragitt has
been highly successful as is evidenced
by his unusually long stay as pastor
here and it was with sorrow and mis-

his decision to 90 elsewhere. Milbank
people generally are very sorry to loose

How sweet 1t is at eventide
To put your feet above your head
And at a bullying gift cigar
Puff until time to go to bed!
There are the joys Of chase and war,
OF smashing hearts-a thankless task.
But what are they compared to this,
May ! be pardoned If / ask?
Youth more excitement may enjoy,
And raising of the gent called Cain,
Attending fights In cellar damp
Or going somewhere on the train,
But middle age enjoys 1t best
To end the day in calm repose
With feet upon the mantelpiece
And with a pipe to warm his nose.
Then visions flock about his ears,
His long lost youth returns again,
And he is soaring foes to death
Dr. leading forth to battle men,
Or maybe he is catching fish,
Or leading In the merry dance,
Or only wondering II in stocks
1t would be wise to take a chance.
Serenity and comfort Turk
In slippers and an easy chair
And in a wreath Of rising smoke
That fills with curlicues the air.
Far more enjoyment is in hat
Than chasing all about the town
And making merry with the boys
When middle life is bearing down.

Ola SETTLERS, Mseting a tAndovel

Old Settlers Meeting at Andoyer
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
Old Settlers association held at And
over on Wednesday of last week was
instrumental in mingling together one
of the largest crowds that has yet been
present on such an occasion. 1t was an
ideal day and there was something doing
from the start in the morning until
nightfall, and even then there was only
a lull long enough to remove the chairs
in the auditorium of the opera house for
the dancers. $3.50
The address of welcome given by VIM.
Carpenter, was neat and sufficient to
make everybody at home.
The piano duet of Mesdames Potter
and Brookings was well received.
The reading by Mrs. Floyd Potter,
captivated the audience. Every number
she gives seems to be just a little better.
The principal address, given by Hon..
j. w. Parmley, of Ipswich, this state,
was more in the form of an essay, on
account of the gentleman not having
time to commit the words to memory.
But it was interesting and contained
many valuable suggestions. He paid a
high tribute to Day county-said she
was the banner county, as she raised
the best cattle, hogs, sheep and about
everything else.
The picnic dinner in the banquet hall
brought together many old settlers who
had not met for years. 1t was like one
large family, but Father Time had made
many changes in the appearance OF the
old settlers-the step was not so elastic,
the hair was frosted, the head was not
erect, the eyes were dim, ard the voice
was low. But all were in a happy MOOD
the past was lived over again-ths
participants were young again.
At the business meeting, afterdinner,
Bristol was settled upon as the mex,
place for holding the old settlers meet
ing, and the following officers elected
C. B. Knott, president; Chris Helligso,
vice president; II. G. Hagey, secretary
and treasurer.
Many short addresses were then made
by old settlers, some of them were quite
amusing. --Andover Gazette.

Draft Horse Conformation.

A heavy draft horse should be long
ribbed. If a horse is short ribbed he
Is light lp his middle and nearly al
ways a poor feeder. His stomach is
too small to contain enough feed to
serve him from one meal to another.
When put at hard work he generally
has a tagged out appearance. A light
centered horse seldom weighs well, ana

from bone. sinew and muscle, goes a
long way toward determining his com
mercial value.

A REMEDY RIGHT AT HAND.

There is a remedy For the Cutting of the

which prevailed last week and bids fair to con-
tsnue through this veek-and a remedy 50
simple that it is surprising that intelligent
growers do not apply it. 1t is being elnp.oyeo

farmer seems slow 20 benefit by the experiences

he gluts in the leaf market az due almost
invariably to the seasons that aature sur
plies for the handling of the weed. What TN"
farmer must do then Is TO provide artificial
SEASONS so that he can market his tobacco at
his own pleasure, This is accomplished by
means OF a cellar where, in ten hours, 1T Is
said. the weed will be in order for stripping
without awaiting the whims of atmospheric
conditions. Then the grower can watch the
market and when prices are favorable, he can
market his crop or such portion OF 1t as he
sees dt. The oyerburdened condition of the
warehouses that prevails in Richmond now Ger
sainly does not make to the benefit of the t.

The tobacco grower has long gotten the lit
Tie end of the horn. and though the situation
a. u whole so far as the planter is concerned
shows considerable. Improvement over past
conditions, there Is stiil room for reform.
One of the greatest injustiees under which the
grower labors Is in the present system Of SELL
Ing the leaf at junction. putting him abso-
iutely at the mercy of the buyer. Tobacco
should be graded and have a staple market
price Just as cotton Is handled. It would re-
uuire some little thought to work the prob
lsm out. but it can and should be done for the
benefit of the grower and buyer as we'll. There
Is no valid reason for the slipshod methods
that prevail now and no valid reason why to-
bacco should not have a market price In
some of the Western States. we understand,
the growers are abandoning the warehouse
system and requiring the buyer TO come to
the barns. That's a step in the direction of
the reform that il needed.
But In the meantime the grower can solve
for himself the problem OF glutted markets
and get better prices for his crop by the ex~
penditure OF a few dollars for that cellar,

with reckless disregard of consequences. Turn
ing in false alarms of fire was one of their re-
cent escapades, and they promise something
awful at Christmas. Instead of convincing
an intelligent public that they are qualified
for the ballot. the English suffragettes have
demonstrated the fact that most of them are
fit subjects for the detention ward of some
hospital for the insane,
One cannot picture the American sufrragette
kicking up such tantrums as those recorded OF
her English sister, though there have been iso-
fated instances of spectacular demonstrations
which have not reflected credit upon the no.
biiity of the womanhood at whose shrine Amer
lean men worship. Nor have the American
sutfragettes helped their cause by the recently
re ported instances of lodging jury duty In

What the ambitious sisters must bear In mind
is that the right of suffrage carries With it
some responsibilities, among these being poll
taxes and jury duty.
