Mother" said little Willie who
had been whipped for story telling,
were you always good when you
were little girl?"
Yes, always" answered his
mother.
And didn't you ever tell sto-
ries?"
No. never"
Did father ever tell them them"
he asked, after pause.
Certainly not" she replied.
Nor grandma?"
NO"
Nor grandad?"
NO, of course not"
Willie's brows contracted for
moment; then he gave sigh.

observed pensively, is where got

The long cold winter, which it is
hoped is coming to a close, has not
been very good for such prepara-
tory work as is usually performed
on the farm in the latter part of
the winter. The first nice spell of
weather will find farmers an awful
busy lot. If you have any bust
ness with a farmer you had bet
ter see him before the winter
breaks.

poultry notes. Let the world know
what you are doing. 1t is money

to tell the Democrat about your

that more people in this section
read the Democrat than any other
paper that circulates in this terri
tory.

Dear Subscriber.

There are several hundred people
who owe us at least one dollar. or
course one dollar is small amount
but all flat is due us is quite a
sum to us. We are needing the
money and we need it right NOW
to meet our obligations. Of course
we know that you are good and will
pay but we cannot pay cur debts
with what you owe us unless you
do the right thing and pay up. Our
necessity is the only reason we call
your attention to this matter. Please
do not put us to the unnecessary
expense of having to send you a
dun and if we should send you one
you have no reason to get mad. We
get them and 20 does every other
business man. We will greatly ap-
preciate it if at least 500 people
will each come in with one or more
dollars and please let us have VIII at
is due before you forget it.
The number of stars that can be
seen by a sharp eye in our hemis-
phere is about 5000 or 5000 in
both henIspheres. BY the tele-
cope. of course, many thousands of
stars are brought out that are in
visible to the naked eye. Using an
instrument little more than two
inche wide, there have been more
than 10000 stars duly charted in
the northern half of the heavens
alone. 1t has been estimated by
very high authorities that the total
number visible in the whole celes-
tial vault would mount up to 3d.

The Fulton Daily Sun Of Monday
printed pictures of several of the
Fulton churches and contained a
splendid write up of the new Chris

Sunday. 1t is beautiful, commo-

cost of $4,000 for building and fur
nishings. The Johnston's have a

doubt this assertion. Each side
is working to make their play the

we would make two entertain

decided that we would give the

Baden-2owell Inspects Scouts

A good delegation of boy scouts
from the Arvada troop spent Sat
urday afternoon in Denver last
week at the inspection of Gen
eral Baben-Powell, chief of the
boy scouts of the world.
The inspection consisted in a
great exhibition of scouting activ-
tiles, a total of twenty-four troops
consisting of five hundred scouts,
taking part. There We're two
hundred visiting lads from var
ious towns of the state. The eX-
hibition was witnessed by several
thousand spectators, and great en-
thusiasm was displayed at times.
At the close the scouts were ad-
dressed by the General and the
Berkeley troop was awarded a
prize for having performed the
best work.

Strawberries Every Month.

A strawberry plant, imported from
Siberia last spring by Edward Dixon
of Forest Grove, Ore, bears fruit every
month in the year, the berries being
white In color when fully ripe. The
berries are not so large as the Oregon
berry. The flavor resembles that of a
pineapple.
Blossoms and fruit are found on the
plant every week in the year; how
ever the best season for bearing Is
from August 1 until about the end Of
the year
The berries hang In clusters on a
long, slender stem. Each plant has
several stems on which the fruit grow.
The stems with leaves bear no fruit.
Instead of propagating new plants
from runners, as is the case of native
strawberries, In this species the par
ent plant is broken up, the several
fruit-bearing stems are separated and
planted individually. New York

TO ABOLISH GERMAN SALUTE
Movement Afoot Against Taking OF
the Hat on Occasions Of Meet.
Ing and Separation.

The progress in urbanity-the art
of city life-which is taking place
among modern Germans Is illustrated
by the movement for modifying, or al
together doing away with the Ger
man salute" says a cablegram to the
New York American. Under the ex-
preston Is meant the traditional
fashion of taking off the hat on occa-
sions of meeting or separation. 1t is
highly elaborate performance, in
three motions, suggesting military
precision. the first being the raising
of the hat with stiffly extended arm,
the second the lowering of it to the
knee with a downward cutting motion
and the third the similarly precise
replacement on the head. The action
between adults appears formal enough
to draw smile from foreigners Of
easier manners, but 1t becomes laugh
able when one sees it practiced with
all gravity between pair Of school
boys or college students. How deeply
the German salute" is engrained In
the national forms of so-called polite
ness is proved by the story Of the
independently minded subordinate Of
fetal who steadily refused to make
the traditional obeisance to the
chief" and got the alternative of max
ing it or being dismissed. In Ger
many it is etiquette for a gentleman
meeting a lady Of his acquaintance in
the street to take off his hat to her be-
fore she bows. In Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries the reverse Is the practice, and
an American woman would feel not a
little astonishment, as well doubtless
as some amusement, If she were
brought up against one of her male
friends saluting her in the German
fashion.

1t Is stated that no matter what
class of animal is brought to Jerez
de la Frontera, Spain, in two genera
tions 1t acquires remarkable tough
ness and endurance. This is attributed
partly to the climate, but principally
to their feeding on a rich, wild clov.
er called "zulla," found only in the
province of Cadiz, which people there
say is the finest food in the world
for horses
The zulla is very rich in sustenance
and grows to three or four feet in
height, and with more luxuriance in
chalky, clayey soil, such as is found
here In the vineyards which produce
the famous Jerez wine or sherry. 1t
Is never sown or cultivated, as It
seems to grow best wild.

LOVE STORY OF ARCHDUKE
Ferdinand Charles Louis Of Bavaria,
Welded to Rosa Czuber, Enjoy
Ing Peaceful Exile.

The Archduke Ferdinand Charles
Louis OF Austria, scratched from the
Almanach Gotha, scratched from the
army, deprived of all his titles, ranks
and orders, is peacefully enjoying per-
feet love as an exile. He is now known
NJ. Ferdinand Berg, and is painting on
the borders of Lake Lugano.
His fault was a gracious one, for
to marry morganatically has become
almost a habit in the Hapsbourg fam
lily. But this fault was aggravated by
the fact that the marriage was cele-
brated without imperial authorization.
His elder broth, the heir to the throne,
and the ducheresse of Hohenberg, who
were likewise separated by a great
difference in station, were more adroit,
and had taken into their play Madame
Schrab, the mistress of Francis Jo-
seph.
Madame Ferdinand Berg, nee Rosa
Czuber, has nothing with which to re-
proach herself for having made con-
quest of the archduke in an official
reception at Prague. The archduke
had Immediately demanded her hand,
but the severe DR.. Czuber made him
wait five years.
1t is only question now Of OBJ
tanning the pardon of the emperor
Francis Joseph. The archduchesse
Annonciade is employed to do this,
but it Is feared all her efforts will re-
main unfrultful If she can not first
move the excellent Madame Schrab.-

WHY THE GERMANS LEAD.
Influence Exerted by the Continuation School,
In the FatherIand.

An American manufacturer who had wondered
at the success of his German competitors was
struck by certain big, flaming oficiallooking
posters on the blboards and around public build
ings in Berlin. He might have seen similar
posters In every city and town In Germany.
Twice year these official posters summon the
youth of the land to obligatory attendance at the
trade and commercial schools Hubert Evans
writes in Harper's Weekly. Indirectly they tell
why the American the English manufacturer
finds in the German such dangerous competitor.
They reveal the secret of Germany's wonderful
commercial and Industrial prosperity and of her
commanding position world power. To the
philosophicaly inclined they suggest interesting
reflections on the transformation of idealists and
dreamers into a nation of materialists and doers.
There is scarcely anything in all Germany SO
new and modern the continuation schools.
This whole movement has been a matter of only
a few years and in its present form the continue
tion school is a child of yesterday. These insti-
tutions receive from the nation more care and
solicitude than is bestowed upon the children OF
the imperial family. They are still in rapid
process of change and development Their very
success has encouraged further changes and
more stringent legislation in their behalf 1t is
only few years ago that an imperial industrial
law was passed giving community authority to
establish and maintain obligatory continuation
schools for youths. thus making good the failure
of certain German state governments to provide
for such school by state law. One Of the last
acts OF the reichstas last December was to amend
this law so as to make 1t apply to all girls ON
