citizens of Keokuk. He was in his
a love OF art, especially of painting.
He became an adept in that line, and
continued to be an admirer of the ex-
eellence in art and was a capable
critic on art work. Early turning his
attention to more practical business
pursuits, he was from his very first
venture a careful, methodical business
man. For several years he had been
an efficient and valuable travelling
salesman for the S. Hamill Co..
wholesale grocers and in this voca-
ton applied the same careful methods
which had been the practice of his
life. AS member for several years

Two Are Immersed
Hole Cut in HarbOr Ice to Baptize Colored Converts
 to Church

New Haven, Feb. 19.-With fortf- tude that aroused the admiration of the several hundred who thronged the waterfront at City Point yesterday afternoon, two negro converts were plunged beneath the icy surface of the harbor, while the minister con- dUcting the baptism stood in his bare feet waist high in the frigid water. The first intimation that something out of the ordinary was taking place was noted by the members of the City Point Yacht club and others when a group of 25 people in solemn procession advanced toward the har- bor singing hymns. A large crowd of the curious followed on in the rear and when the party arrived at the ice, a circular hole was cut in it with impressive ceremony. That done, the two candidates were led into the water by the minister and totally sub merged in it's depths The rest of the company, in the meanwhile, mur- mured prayers and when the two con- verts-shaking with cOld-em erged, long were their songs of praise.
 In the midst of the ceremony an unknown white man, by the breaking g of the ice, was accidentally and thoroughly baptised. He pushed a little girl who was with him off the cracking ice before he fell in and the only thing he suffered was a complete soaking.

MONEY IN PEANUTS.

As peanuts in all the far Southern states can be grown as a second crop to potatoes, oats or wheat, peanut cul- ture would seem to be a profitable ven ture.
 And it is crop that requires no great investment of capital. A man and two mules can cultivate with ease from fifty to sixty acres of peanuts. which should yield from forty to six ty bushels an acre, with an average price of about one dollar a bushel, not to mention the high-grade hay, which in itself is said to pay for the seed, cultivation and harvesting of the crop.
 Peanut hay will yield from ton to a ton and a half an acre, worth ac- cording to the conditions of market from fifteen to eighteen dollars a ton. Nest farmers think it more advisable to make hay with the pea still on the vine, feeling that the increase in the value of hay will more than counter balance the attendant loss, just as many of the more up-to-date consider it wiser, if tIfe peanut itself is har- vested. to D Ough the vines under for the enrichment of the soil.
 The Louisiana peanut finds it's chief uses to-day in the peculiarly high grade oil which is extracted from it, in the manufacture of peanut butter and saIted peanuts. au& as a staple article Of diet for the stock farm Louisiana Edition, National Ma agazine for February.

have proven to be not only safer, but far more effective thg-n any combina- ton of drugs.
 Nearly forty years ago the now famous Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was a simple home remedy made by the woman whose name it bears, on her kitchen stove, from the roots and herbs of the field, and sup piled to friends and neighbors with out cost.
 The wonderful success of Lydia F. Pinkham's. Vegetable Compound in alieViating the sufferings of woman kind, has made it known in every home in our land, and now recogniz- ed the wor over as the standard remedy for female ills.

DYING HICKORY TREES--
 CAUSE AND REMEDY

On account of the value of the hick- ory for shade, nuts, and many com merciaI wood products, Circular IA Of the Bureau of Entomology, U. $. De kins, is of special interest to tue peo- pie of any community, county or state within the natural range of this val uab1e tree
 It appears that although there have been several and sometimes compli- cated causes for the death, within the last ten years, of a large percentage of the hickory trees, investiga tiOns have proved that the hickory barkbeetle is by far the most destructive insect en- emy, and is, therefore, in the major ity of eases, the cause of the present extensive dying of the trees.
 The simple and practical methoSs recommended in this circular will, fl put into practice between October 1 and May 1, enable those interested to protect their trees
