A SPLENDID LETTER FROM a
WARM MISSISSIPPI FRIEND

WARM MISSISSIPPI FRIEND.
My Dear Sir and Friend: I have
been wanting to write to you con-
gratulatiOns over your complete vic
tory at your recent trial at Augusta,
but have been sick for over two
months, but l want to say, hurrah
for you. l have read after you for
more than twenty years, [ am one of
the old fool Pops that believed in
free silver and government owner
ship of Railroads and am of the
same opinion still Everybody knows
that there is something wrong with
our monetary system, if there wasn't
they wouldn't be always monkeying
with it. We haven't had but two
men elected by the Democrats as
president of the u. S., and they both
seem to want to out do the Republi-
cans do hope that there are enough
men in the Congress to keep the
Glass-Owen currency bill from ever
passing, and as for w. J. B., God
knows he is the limit.
Wilson and Bryan have had
great deal to say about the Mexican
situation, Sometime ago I showed
the Presbyterian minister here what
you said in your paper about Hoke
Smiths connection with the Pied
mont Hotel and the saloon therein.
He first said you were the worst
story teller in the country, but final
ly said the saloon was there, but
said that Hoke gave his part of the
proceeds to charity. Well it so com
pletely knocked me off the Christmas
tree that I didn at first know what
to say to him, but I wished after
wards I had asked him why didn't
they also run a fancy house too, and
give the proceeds of that to charity
also. I afterwards thought old man
charity must be in bad fix in those
diggings. l am going to send you
fifty cents. and l want you to send
that preacher your paper. Now, Mr.
Watson, I am going to ask you
something. While my son, Prof. w.
B. Wall of Sallison, Okla, was on a
visit here this summer we were talk
ing about you and James K. Varda-
man. + had noticed that there
seemed to be an enstrangement be-
tween you two because you had quit
saying anything about Vardaman,
and my son said that he had heard
when Vardaman was over in Georgia
that Vardaman was sent to see you
to try to make peace between you
and Hoke Smith. I told my son
Vardaman ought to have known bet
ter than that, because l don't be-
lieve that Vardaman or any one else
could make peace between you and
as crooked a rascal as Smith. Well
as l told you at the outset that I was
sick SO l will have to bring this to
close. I have one son attending the
Law School at Lebanon, Tenn, so
am going to ask you to send the
Magazine there until the end of
school. I am going to see if I can't
get you some subscribers. You can
send the paper and Magazine to the
within addressed.
AS ever, your true friend

Lindsay, Mont.-I started to get
great big blotches round my neck and

them so it caused them to spread;
there would be sores from scratching
them SO intensely. My face and neck
were covered with pimples. 1t looked

GOOD SANITATION OF STABLE
If Proper Care Is Given Horses and
Their Barns No One Can Object
to Them in Big Cities.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOTHE.)
One of the most imperative needs
from the standpoint of health in great
cities, is stable sanitation. Thousands
upon thousands of horses are stabbed
In every large city. If proper care
is taken of these horses and their
stables, no one can object to their
presence, because they are reasonably
quiet and a properly cared for stable
is practically odorless. You will say
Immediately that you never saw a
properly cared for stable, then, and
that is probably right, as there are
very few of them.
The sanitary stable should have
waterproof floors, built of some ma
terial that will not absorb the liquid
manure, and sloped to drain properly.
Cement is undoubtedly the best of
these, and it should be covered with
a Slated board flooring in the stalls
to keep the horses from sleeping on a
cold cement, and to prevent slipping.
The question of bedding is very i'm
portant in many ways. It's function is
to keep the horse off the floor and to
absorb the liquid manure. 1t also is
better for the horses feet than a hard
floor. Wheat or oat straw is the best
bedding known, as it Is light, dry,
warm, springy and highly absorbtive.
Barley and rye straw would be equally
good if it were not for the boards
CIR barbed tips of the green husk.
which irritates the horses skin.
Marsh hay has little value because it
is coarse, fattens down and absorbs
very little. Shavings and tanbark are
poor bedding for the same reason.
Horses should be cleaned very care
fully in warm weather, and it is an
excellent plan to wash their mouth,
head and legs with cold water at noon
and night.

Typical Shropshire Eve.

and breeder If given any reasonable
chance to do so. They are the most
cosmopolitan Of the button breeds and
on the same amount OF food will excel
the other breeds in making more
pounds of both mutton and wool than
their rivals. They are also very pro-
life. With good care, at least "
lambs may be expected on the aver
age to each eve in the flock, but it is
not uncommon even in large fiocks
to get an average of 17s lambs to
each eve. l doubt If there is any
breed that is better adapted for cross
ing or for breeding on our own native
ewes than the Shropshire. Anyone
who follows the market reports OF
the leading live stock markets will
see that lambs sired by Shropshire
rams are continually topping the mar.
ket. The winnings at the leading live
stock exhibitions show that for grades
and crossbreds three-fourths of the
winners are sired by Shropshire rams.

SHR0PSHIREs GAIN IN FAVOR
Reason Is These Sheep Give Better
Returns for Money Invested
Than Other Breeds.

What has made the Shropshire so
popular? More Shropshires are fed
and marketed in England than any
other two breeds. The reason the
breed is popular, is because these
sheep give better returns for money
invested than any of the mutton
breeds, writes H. K. Gibson of Ouch
ess County, N. Y, In the Orange Judd
and Farmer. The English farmers
are not slow to find out what sort
Of live stock is the most profitable for
them to keep, and American farmers
are not slow, either The Shropshire
registry association has nearly as
many members as all other sheep
registry associations of the mutton
breeds combined. This is ample proof
of the popularity of the breed.
Now, back of this breed are the
business capabilities Of the SArop-
shire to make lots of money. These
sheep show profit to their feeder

NO EVIDENCE OF STATEMENT
Foreman of Jury Had Claimed They
Had One Mind, But Losing Lawyer
Wanted to Be Shown.

Counsel for the prisoner looked
hopefully at the faces of the jurors as
they filed into their seats, and listened
hopefully as the foreman announced
that they had agreed. His client had
enjoyed ample provocation for the as
sault upon the person of Tobias Jones !;
but the jurors were uniformly Tobias
friends and not unbiased.
"The jury is all of one mind, your
honor the foreman said. "We find
the prisoner guilty
"You hear the verdict, counsel" re.
marked the judge. "The jury is all
of one mind. Have you anything to
ask of the court before sentence is
pronounced?"
Eyes, your honor" replied counsel
still hopefully; for the purposes OF
the appeal which my client will take
it would be of material assistance to
learn which one of the twelve men
who have reached this verdict is pos
sessed of the one mind you are so care
full to mention.'-New York Evening

Colon, G. Z.-If you wish to hear
language" just say "Cucaracha" to
one of the engineers engaged in build
ing the central division of the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha In Spanish means
cockroach. In the Canal Zone 1t
means the greatest Of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
Of the Culebra cut SO different and so
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach I could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not SO large, and he moves
much more swiftly.
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year Of their work on the canal. Be-
tween then and July 1, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards Of material was
removed from the canal because of
it. The slide had broken nearly 1900
feet from the axis Of the canal. and
covered an area of Al acres. Last fall
the engineers were congratulat1ng
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut.
What is going to be the cost of
that slide to the United States?"
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds Of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass Of earth and rock.
"Well," the chief engineer replied, "our
estimate is that by the time it is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about $5,000,000 more
than the cut would have cost if the
slide had not occurred. 1t is still NOV
ing, and has broken SO far back that

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him / felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1t was struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a re-
suit of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then I began to drink it too.
Although was never as bad off as
my husband, was always very ner-

began to use Postum. Now l weigh
lis lbs. and can do as much work as
anyone my size, think"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The
Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must be boiled.)
Instant Postum doesn't require boil
ing, but is prepared instantly by stir
ring level teaspoonful in an ordinary
cup of hot water, which makes it right
for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in a
heaping spoonful and temper it with a
large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
There's Reason" for Postum.

now we are shoveling the crest away
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
in the cut at that point had been
carried to within Is feet of the canal
bottom. Digging out that Is feet Of
material removed the support of the
Cucaracha, and down it came If we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the Is feet with dredges, /
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide" :"
What of the future?" I asked. rs
there any danger Of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
Absolutely none, believe" he an
swered. when the excavating and
dynamiting have ceased and the wa
ter Is in, it will be quite safe. We
have the slides and breaks mapped
out as far back as there is any indi-
cation of their extending, and are
working back to those lines. It is
merely matter of persistency and pa
tience."
when will the water be let into
the cut?"
In October" replied Colonel Goe-
thals. "But there will be no celebra-
tion over the event. That one In jan
uary, 1915, is giving us enough worry,
and we don't forget the premature and
~idiculous celebration by Ferdinand de
a 7sepa many years ago. We will just
turn the water in-that's all. Then we
can complete the excavation there
with suction dredges, which will do
the work cheaply and rapidly"
And when will boats be passing
through the canal?"
THAT I cannot say, but the sooner
the better, for the operating crews
must be properly trained before that
January celebration. / wouldn't have
an accident occur for anything. If we
cannot have commercial vessels going
through before then, l shall ask the
government to send naval vessels
through. SO the operating forces car

SIXTY YEARS IN ONE POSITION

Supt William H Maxwell, of New
York City, has a record of more than
quarter of a century in a profess
sional administrative position in New
York City, if his term in Brooklyn be
included.
When Charles w Cole died last year
he had given "a years of his life as
superintendent of schools at Albany,
n. Y, position which his father had
held before him for a long period of
years.
Notwithstanding that life there is by
no means an accepted principle in
American school systems, the average
term of school superintendent in lar
ger cities is much longer than is usu-
ally supposed. In so cities of 10000
population and over the average term
of service is IL years. This is in spite
of the fact that school superintendent
are elected for comparatively short
terms, one, two, or three years, gen.
orally, and to have served long usually
means to have withstood many a stiff
reelection contest. The tendency is
constantly toward longer terms and
fixed tenure as conducive to efficiency.

Easton, Pa, can claim a school SUI
perintendent whose term of service RI
walls anything here or abroad, so far
as is known. Sixty years in one pro-
fession is in itself remarkable enough,
but when it is added that Supt. Will
liam w. Cottingham's record is of six
ty years in the same position, his case
appears to be unparalleled.
Although few superintendent can
point to anywhere near as long term
of service as this, there are a number
who have served for many years. A
list of some of the notable cases is
given by Mr.. w. r. Hood in the city
school chapter of the 1912 report of
