He says that President Morris, who is "A years old, is very feeple, and many fear that the shock of the Supreme Court affirming his three year sentence may prove fatal, It is expected that a motion for a re.hearing will be made in the case.

PIG ATE UP HIS LEDGERs
How Poor Pat, the Australian Saloon Keeper, Lost All His Stand
 ing Accounts.

In a small town in Queensland, Australia, an 1rishman kept a dinky saloon where the boys would occa- sionally congregate for a round or two of jollity. There were those among us cattlemen who would sometimes be short of change and would tell Pat to charge up the bill. Often our accounts with him would run for months.
 One day two of us went to the saloon, just after having completed a big sale, and we thought we'd square up accounts with the trustful landlord. Informing Pat of our in- tention, he went into a back room as usual to figure up our standing. In a minute he returned, moaning pitt fully, wringing his lands and curs- ing the fates.
 "Me lidgers is all ct up," he walled. "Begorra, 1 hoven't a bit of an ac- count left. The bloody pig has ru- ined me, so he has,"

MONEY CHURCHES.

The amount of money spent upon their churches is always some gauge of peoples devotion. People do not spend great sums of money on their churches, and rob themselves of the luxuries and even the necessities of life, unless they believe in their religion and the things for which it stands. In every Russian village the church is the great building of the region. With its golden domes and its curious double crosses, it towers above all the homes and stores and factories. The village may consist of squalid huts, but the church is often stately, or, if more humble, is embellished with gold and silver or naments and icons framed in jewels, while the priests are gorgeous in cloth of gold and rich embroidery Dr. Francis E.

GREEN CROPS FOR ANIMALS

In view of the fact that feed ing stuff is scare and high, we urge farmers who have animals to feed to plant a succession of crops for this purpose. Even where work animals only are kept, it will pay to plant grazing, soiling and hay crops to reduce the cost of feeding and to in crease the efficiency of the ani- malS,
 Oats, rye and barley are good crops to furnish gazing for horses, cows hogs, sheep and goats. These crops should be planted for pasture only so that they may be grazed closely. The land may be then turned and planted to later crops for the same purpose, or Tor oSOll lm- provement. Peanuts, cowpeas. soy beans and many other crops may follow one ofthe small grain crops mentioned above.
 It is not economy to expect efficient work from horses and mules without green Icrops in the spring. nor can. cheap pork and beef be produced without some kind of green crops for the animals. For colts, calves, pigs and lambs, green food is indis, pensable. Farm and Ranch.

EAT SEAWEED-AFTER WHILE.

America possesses an association to promote the consumption of sea- weed as food. The members main- tain that in about twenty years time the failure of the production of wheat to keep pace with the increase of the worlds population will bring us in danger of starvation. They propose to redress the balance of the land by calling into economic exist ence the sea. It is said that in the Sargasso sea alone sufficient nutri- tious vegetation flourishes and de- cays to support all the inhabitants of the United States if it were har- vested. Not long ago the associa- tion held a banquet at which sea- weed was served in all fashions, and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the fare.

SELF CULTURE CLUB

Mrs. Will Waller entertained the club at her home yesterday afternoon. This was the first meeting held for more than a month and many members were absent. Those who came, how ever, were we'll prepared and an interesting lesson was discussed, with Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Young as leaders.
 The topics studied were What makes an East Indian happy" and The Tai Mahal'.
 A piano solo by Mrs. Conklin was beautifully rendered and greatly enjoyed.
 After a delightful repast the club indulged in social inter- course until the lateness of the hour drove them home. The meeting on March twenty>frst will be with Mrs. Cress.
