GOT FEAST, BUT NO BULLETS
Hungry Soldier In ResIeged Town Of
Kimberley Called the Bluff Made
by Colonel kekeWlch.

. In some "reminiscences of the late
Boer war Colonel Kekewich, who DC
CALAMITY defended Kimberley for III
days, tells the following story:
One day he was approached by q
private, who asked:
Colonel, when do you expect we
are going to get something to eat!'
"Eat!" exclaimed the colonel. IBID
you join the army merely to get some
thing to eat?"
We'll, that's about the size of It,
replied the soldier.
Here" said the colonel, calling al
officer give this man something tC
eat, and then have him shot"
The officer understood the joke anC
replied:
"All right, colonel"
The private, however, exhibited nc
alarm, and, turning to the officer
said:
boil me ham, cap'n, stew up
couple OF chickens, bake two or three
pounds OF potatoes, fetch gallon o
beer and load yer guns With suct
inducements the man who wouldn't BE-
willing to die Is a blithering idiot"
A hearty meal was prepared fol
the soldier and the threatened execu
ton never came Off--Tit-Bits.

SYSTEM IS NEEDED IN THIS

Seems to Cry for Reform, says
Mere Man.

We have no desire to pose as one

how to do It better than We do, who
patronize hotels only for toothpicks,
matches and writing paper. Our mot

and cooking are her profession; ours
Is paying the bills.
But with housekeeping time APP
preaching we pause moment here to
suggest that there Is no overwhelming
anxiety on the part OF mere man to
have house cleaned from cellar to
dome in a single day, Admitting that
we know very little about houseclean-
ing as an art, we declare that 1t seems
unnecessary to rip up every room In
the house as a starter. We cannot see
why 1t is necessary to take the rug on
the back bedroom floor in order to
get all the dust OF the parlor pictures.
We may be wrong, but 1t strikes US as
curious that she cannot clean behind
the sofa In the den unless the down.

sary to dump everything out OF the

dangerous ground. But surely II there

Moses. Electrician.


That electricity must have been
known to the ancients has been many
times asserted, but now comes for
ward an electrician in Munich-Mr.
Stadelmann-who has been in times
past an archaeologist, to assert that
he found In Egypt, in buried walls, in
dications denoting the use Of electric
lamps, says a writer In Harper's
Weekly. He claims that Moses
brought electricity from Egypt, and
that there are Biblical paragraphs
which will bear him out In his state
ment that lightning rods were in use
in the temple at Jerusalem. Stadel-
mann believes that the serpent OF
bronze OF Moses was nothing more or
less than an ordinary lightning rod
such as Is in use today.
He points out, further, that the Ark
Of the Covenant. made as 1t was OF
wood and adorned inside and out with
gold, constituted veritable Leyden
jar which communicated with light
ming rod on the roof, and that 1t was
so arranged that under determined
conditions it could be charged with
electric fluid and produce the death
OF any ignorant person daring to en-
ter the sacred precincts Of the ark
without necessary precautions.

FAILURE IN RAISING CALVES
Many Dalrymen viii Agree That Over
feeding 10 Greatest Cause--Limlt
to Its Digestion.

There are hundreds Of dairymen
who will agree that one of the great
causes OF failure to raise calves prop
erly is overlooking. 1t is difficult to
make a great many people see this,
but 1t is true nevertheless.
A calf Is not born into the world to
consume all the milk produced by a
cow as she is bred and fed in these
days. It is otherwise with ranch or
range cows, because they are very
poor mixers and the flow OF milk Is
confined to the few months that the
calf is being fed by her. Farmers
must remember that while great i'm
provements have been made in dairy
cows no appreciable additional ca
pacity has been built into the diges-
tive system OF q calf
To say that calf should have all
the milk produced by its mother is
contrary to all reason and common
sense, especially In view OF what has
been bred into the cow in the way OF
increased milk production. When IL
comes to the matter of raising calf
we must remember that its appetite
is gagged by the flow of milk that
the COW would give in her natural
state, which in the case Of range
COW does not average over five or six
quarts per day.
In fact, the best authorities upon
the subject of calf raising recommend
THAT the calf should not have more
than four or five quarts per day, and
even upon that amount 1t should not
be allowed to have Its fill at any one
time. A little at time but often is
calf-raising wisdom reduced to the
compass of nutshell Because cali
is naturally greedy 1t does not follow
that It's greed should be catered to.

NEAT PACKAGE HELPS PRICE
Butter In Square Parcels Of Pound
Each viii Bring More Money Than
Same Article In Jar.

You may not believe 1t, but farm
butter put up in square packages OF a
pound, neatly wrapped in oiled paper,
will bring better price in any mar
ket than the same butter loosely
packed in a tin bucket or jar.
A butter mold costs trifie and
oiled paper with your name printed
on It costs but little more. and II
butter Is put up In square package
form 1t will bring from two to three
cents per pound more than II packed
In Jars or tins.
Fastidious customers In the city,
who are in the habit OF getting nearly
everything they consume in fancy
packages, absolutely will not buy but

sent to their homes In wooden dishes.
OF course, it Is not always possible
to sell direct to consumers, but even
If butter is sold to the stores 1t will

EXPERT ON FALLING SAFELY
Motorcycle Racer Explains Why He
Isn't Killed When He Tumbles
on Saucer Track.

people who know nothing about It
think that falling from a motorcycle
going at high sped IL sure death" re-
marked Joe Walters, the famous
racer, who was recently spilled from
his machine while 1t was moving at
the rate OF 80 miles an hour, and es-
capped with a few scratches. AS q
matter of fact 1t is safer to fall from
a machine moving at 100 miles an
hour than 1t is to fall from one going
at half that rate OF speed. II the speed
ia great enough to throw the rider
free of his machine he slides along
the track and escapes with few
scratches, or. possibly, some broken
bones. The development OF the motor
cycle saucer track greatly lessons the
danger. If the rider Is at the bottom
of the track he runs small danger OF
being injured, provided he has pres
ence OF mind to keep from under the
motor In case Of an upset. The few
riders that have been killed were
either caught under the machines or
were riding near the top Of the track
and brought up against one OF the
posts. In my fall at Los Angeles the
law of gravitation brought into play
by the third Of a mile circumference
of the track kept my weight and the
weight OF the machine of the boards
until the momentum had slackened
and there was practically no danger.
The marks made on the track will
bear out my statement. There Is a
scratch about fifty feet In length al
most Immediately in front OF the pad
dock, 200 feet from where | started to
fall. The mark shows the compare
lively short distance the machine and
| slipped before coming to a stand
still. The only damage sustained was
bent pedal apd some minor
scratches"

A Good Hay Pen.

good plan for making hay pen into
which the hay may be thrown. says a
writer in the Farm and Home. Set
four posts into the ground, one at
each corner Of a parallelogram six
by eight feet. Nail strong 2x4's to
these posts every foot from the ground
to the height of three feet. Leave a
space wide enough for stock to get
their heads through easily and nail
another 2x4, or attach strong barbed
wire in its place. This will keep the
stock from jumping into the pen. II

poles secured from the timber and
trimmed at ends SO they can be nailed

Oldest Metal.

A recent paper presented to the
Royal Institution at London, In dis
cussing the question of the metals
used by the great nations Of antiquity,
pointed out that gold was probably
the first metal known to man because
1t Ia generally found native.
The Oldest metallic objects to which
we can assign a probable date are
thought to be those found In royal
tomb at Nagada In Egypt, supposed to
have been that Of King Menes. In
one Of the chambers were some bits
of gold and bead, button and a
fine wire of nearly pure copper II
the tomb had been properly identified
these objects are at least $500 years
old. Nearly all the ancient gold that
has been examined contains silver
enough to give 1t light color. 1t was
gathered by the ancients in the bed
OF the Pactolus and other streams OF
Asia Mlnor.-Harper's Weekly.

When, however, Darwin discovered

Writing.

Old-time printers are never tired OF
telling weird stories of the unreliable
handwriting Of Horace Greeley. In
modern times 1t has been said that the
copy" OF Mr.. William Winter was a
task to worry even the smartest com
positors. but 1t is said that the cham.
pion illegible writer is Joaquin Miller
the Poet OF the Sierras." 1t Is re-
lated that some time ago the secretary
OF a well known club in San Francis.
co wrote to Joaquin Miller. asking him
to take part In some celebration. In
response to the secretary's letter
came four page letter from the poet,
but none In the club could decipher
1t.
There was nothing for 1t but to
write again to Mr.. Miller stating that
1t could not be determined whether
his letter was an acceptance or re-
fusal, and the secretary added, to
make sure: III you will be present on
the date mentioned, will you kindly
make cross on the bottom OF this
letter, and return 1t? II 1t will be i'm.
possible for you to appear, kindly

BY return mail the secretary's letter
was returned to him. and at the bot
tom was the sign as he had been re-
quested.
But 1t was absolutely impossible for
anyone to tell whether the sign was
meant to be a cross or circle.
