The Fly.

The fly is only little thing but he is as unpopular as if he were a trust. He is unpopular for thl ee reasons: l Because he gets up too early in the morning; and second, because he hasn't been invited, and third, because he does not keep his feet clean.
 The fly hasn't a thing to do in the world and could we'll afford to sleep until ten o'clock. Instead he gets up at daybreak ana flys around the nearest bedroom like French monoplane goirg after the Gordon Bennett cup. When he has finish ed :, 100 circuits he cools off by fly ing 700 times around the exposed ear of the person who supposes himself to be sleeping in that room. Then he sits down on the forehead of saidperson and digs holes in his skin with all the vim of a small boy excavating in a piano with a new jack knife.
 Because of these actions a great many taxpayers wake at a. m. en- tlrely against their will and spend the next three hours hating the fly and planning his ultimate ruin.
 The fly 4lso attends meals without being asked, spends long hours in parlors. whose owners he does not even know by name, and sneaks into kitchens through leaky screen doors and gorges himself on food intended for others. Because of this failing a great many flies get thrown out of American homes. It is possible to throw fly out of the house without ruinng him permanently, but very few people take the trouble to prac- tice up in the art.
 Worst of all is the fiy's well known earelessness about his feet. He is the small boy of the insect tribe and likes nothing better than to wade around knee deep in microbes and then track them all over the house.
 Until the fly sleeps later, rings the door bell when visiting strangers. and soak his feet in carbolic acid each evening. he can never hope to become popular in this country and swatting him will continue to be the great American exercise. By George Fitch.

All Discarded Chinese Documents are Burned

The Chinese look upon every bit of writing and printing it Chinese characters as sacred. They would consider it sacrilege to step on written or printed paper or to use discarded manuscripts or newspap- CTS as wrappers for provisions.
 The fact that the Chinese charac- ters were used by his ancestor causes them to be venerated by the Chinaman, more particularly those characters which enter into the names of Chinese saints.
 In Chinatown, San Francisco, is a sacred furnace which is utilized solely for the purpose of burning discarded letters, manuscripts and newspapers. Three times every week a collector calls at each Chi nese dwelling and takes away all cast off literature which has been folded neatly and put aside in safe place pending his arrival.
 The furnace stands before the altar of a joss or god, and every day the custodian burns, the sack fuls of paper which have been brought there.
 No discrimination in regard to class or rank is used. The papers of the poor beggar, together with those of the wealthy mandarin

Advice on Farm Drainage.

n ttldItSf Oi gf SdG lf1lpOf IdnC6 ID farming is farm drainage. There are very few farms in Arkansas that do not need drainage. Many good farms have a few low wet spots, and too often they are allowed to grow up in weeds, briers and bushes, until eventually they become veritable thickets, and make ugly spots on the farm and detriment to farming opera tion. If you have any such spots on your farm, take them out. It Wlllpay you well.
 The best way to get rid of wet spots is to use tiling and tile drain them. If you don't do that, then do the next best thing and drain them with open ditches By all means get the water off. and get the low wet spots in cultivation After you have cut the ditches, blow the land deep in the fall. By blowing deep you will lower the water level and it will help to dry out the wet spots. A good way to do farm ditching is to use a small road grader. The Glide" or the Century" will do good work. By using the road grader you can make a wide and shallow ditch. In cul- tivating your land you can blow across the ditch, and after each breaking or cultivation, you can run a middle buster down the bed of l the ditch and always keep 1t clean and ready for service.
 Tile or underground drain age, is far better than any other kind. A six or eight inch tile drain will carry off surprising amount of water, much more than an open ditch of greater dimensions. be- cause the tile works on the princi- pie of siphon. to a certain extent The tile tends also to lower the water level, and leaves the low land so that it can be cultivated sooner after rainfall than the highland.
 As a rule from ten to twenty five per cent of every farm needs tile drainage The owners neglect to drain it because the expense is heavy, when in fact two crops would make enough difference to pay for it, and often one would do it; and yet the owners go on year after year losing the benefits of gco1 farming, and good crops.
 Tile drainage also gives circu- lation of air through the soil and enlivens it, making 1t better for crops. he Soll holds more molS- ture and makes a greater amount of plant food available for the crop. In tile drainage the tile should be large enough to carry off the water; there should be a sufficient fall. ] and the tile should be laid to an absolute grade. These simple rules observed will make tile drain age a success and profitable any where in Arkansas, where any kind of drainage is needed
 The peach shipping season is at hand. Be sure to provide yourself with enough crates and baskets. Some of our strawberry growers lost heavily by overlooking this matter. Be careful about the packing. Good packing and good grading are essential to good prices.
 Look out for the boil wevil. He is here. Pick up the punctured squares.

MINE Superintendent NOT AMONG
MEN RESCUED At DAWSON Nm.
Tunnels Leading Into No. Mine of Stag Canyon Com
pany Are Blocked Men Still Missing Are 5000 Feet
From the Entrance Narrowing Scenes Are
Enacted at the Rescue Camps

~ AwSON, n. NJ, Oct. 2s.-WnIiam
McDermOtt, general superintend-
ent of the Stag Canyon mine
numbered among the entOmbed miners
in the explosion yesterday, has not been
found by the rescue workers
Tunnels All Blocked.
The work Of penetrating into the
ruined works is progressing IN the
face Of enormous difficulties. The tuh-
nels leading into No. from neighbor-
ing mines were found to be completely
blocked, and all work has to be done
through the main entrance.
Stag Canyon No. ? is not a SHAFT
mine. but is entered through a tunnel
driven directly into the face Of the
mountain. Most of the men thus far
rescued, and nearly all the bodies have
been found IN this tunnel, comparative
" near the entrance. The men still
missing are at least 5000 feet from the
entrance. Rescuers, equipped with OK
ygen helmets, and relieving each other
at short shifts, are forcing their way,
foot by foot, often being compelled to
halt for hours while fallen rock and
coal Is removed No prediction is made
as to how long it will take to penetrate
the innermost recesses of the mine.
Few Bodies Are Brought Out.
Narrowing scenes are bling enacted
at the rescue camps and around the
mouth of the tunnel. The injured men
are being made as comfortable as pos
sible and those least seriously hurt
have been removed to their homes.

TO SHOW STRENGTH
OF AMERICAN NAVY
BattIeshIp Cruise Of Mediterranean to
Start Saturday VIII be An Exhi-
ffOn of Superiority.


Washington, D. c.. Oct. 25.-Unusual
interest is manifest in official circles
in plans for the departure from Hamp-
ton Roads Saturday Of two divisions
OF the Atlantic fleet for a cruise to
the Mediterranean. This is to be a
courtesy cruise, but it is being pointed
out here that incidentally it will direct
the attention Of the world to two i'm
portant facts-that American battle
ships in actual service are prepared to
hold their CWn against any navy
afloat, except that Of Great Britain,
and that because Of its geographical
advantages the United States can dis
patch its dreadnaughts 5000 miles from
home shores without uneasiness.
Final preparations for the cruise are
being completed by rear admiral
Badger, assigned to command the fleet.
Assistant secretary of the navy
Roosevelt will go to Hampton Roads
to represent the navy department when
the ships steam for sea
In addition to their present crews
the battleships win carry 1900 men
from the naval training stations on the
Great Lakes. who are now at Norfolk,
ready to go abroad. Ammunition, coal
and supplies are being loaded in great
quantities, tOdays consignment of
provisions for the ships including 4O,-
600 pounds Of fresh beef and $4,000
dozen eggs.
For the Mediterranean trip the nine
battleShips will be divided into three

Supporters of the plan declared a
merger of white and eOlOred congrega-

that hence it were better to give the
negroes a church of their own than for
them to have none at all
