Reused the Judue,

When Judge Gaynor was on the
bench in New York he had a case
where the attorney for the defense
was exhausting the patience of every
one in asking absurd questions of a
witness whose mentality was of ex-
remely low order. He kept this up
for half an hour to. no purpose at all
and at last explained:
"Now. Of course. you don't know
that the defendant here Is a manu-
facturer?"
"Please don't address your questions
to what this witness does not know"
interposed Judge Gaynor. 1T opens
such wide range Of possibility. 1t is
patent that If you persist in finding out
what he does not know we will never
finish this case. Please therefore try
to find out something that he does
know"

Selecting Men.

Seeing" men is an art. 1t amounts
almost to second sight. Often in
business line some man makes his
way mysteriously and rapidly to the
top or near to it. He does not seem to
have greater trading ability than many
others. nor has be been favored by
larger capital or more magnetic per-
sonality. But he rises. His faculty of
seeing" men has been the magical

It Is no trick at all to discover the
man who has triumphantly made
record. who is already a personality in
this trade or that Unfortunately such
man is unfailingly costly. What he
has done. moreover. is no positive guar
antee as to his future exploits. Men
Of great reputation as lieutenants many
times prove great disappointment
when they shift. The chief who ''sees"
picks man whose reputation is yet to
be made and thereby gets the profits
himself.-Harper's Weekly.

LII The Corn Harvester Do The WOI K

Again the South is on the eve of
corn harvesting. Some will blade
Just the same as grandfather did,
some will top as father did, and
some will cut up and shock in the
field, and let it stand until the
weather renders it almost unfit
for feed, for farm stock; still 9TH
ers will slip-shuck it. In each and
every case most of the fodder is
wasted The fodder is needed The
corn should be cut and bound by
machinery 1t should be shucked,
and the fodder shredded by ma
chinery, all the stalks as we'll as
the machinery to do this, to cut
and bind the corn, to shuck and
shred it, and put it into silo OF
barn lofts, to pump the water, to
saw the wood; and to grind the
grain for farm stock, and other
similar work on the farm, costs too
much for any one farmer, unless he
is working on a good, large scale,
and it is not often agreeable, in
the long run, for neighbors to COM
bine and own such. The only
practical way seems to be for one
man in each neighborhood, or sec
ton of country, a practical man, a
man who knows how to handle ma
chinery, to purchase a complete out
fit and, aside from using it for
himself, use it for such of his
neighbors as may desire it. In this
way a man not only secures the
use of this improved machinery
himself, but can soon pay for the
machinery in working for others.
Life is too short, and labor too
scarce, to cut and shuck corn by
hand. Let the corn harvester do
this work. 1t is entirely too waste
full to handle the corn fodder as is
customary, or to let it go to waste
as is too frequently done. Let the
corn shucker and shredder save it
for you. 1t is demoralizing on most
men to cut stovewood, especially in
summer, and, instead of shifting off
that work on the others, let the
gasoline engine and wood saw saw
up enough in three hours to last a
year. If one Progressive Farmer
reader in each neighborhood will
look into this matter he may see
where he can, not only benefit him
self, but also be of practical bene-
fit to. his neighbors.
A great effort should be made
by every corn grower to save all
the corn fodder or forage. 1t is
needed for feed; it is needed for
bedding, such as the stock may not
eat; it is needed as an absorbent
of liquids in the stables; it . is
needed for filling for the cattle
horses, calves, sheep, and mules. In
all human probability several thou
sands of tons of corn fodder will
go to waste for lack of machinery
with which to handle and store it
properly After this great tonnage
has been harvested, shucked, shred
ded, sliced, or otherwise stored, fed
to stock, and used for bedding, it
becomes a valuable factor in the
matter of manure and humus, for
feeding the hungry soil. Saturated
with liquid manure, it speedily de-
Gays and becomes food for the
rootlets Of growing crops. As
it is usually handled, there is no
profit in cornstalks. Handled prop
erly, the forage is worth the cost
of making the crop.-A. letters, in

New York, Aug 2S.-The steamship
Imperator, the largest vessel aflG15
was swept by fire earl ytoday as she
lay at her dock ii Hoboken with neF
crew and 1,1a1 steerage passengers
aboard, r
Second officer Gobrecht, who LED
the crew into the hold to fight the
flames, was cut Off from his men
and suffocated. His body was found
an hour afterwards. untouched by
fire, and brought ashore.
Seaman Otto stumps, one of the
party who went down with Gobrecht
into the bowels Of the vessels, was
seriously injured. Il 'eet Of fire fight
ing craft, augmented by apparatus on
shore, surrounded the ship and poured
tons Of water into Ter hold When the
fire was checked at o'clock the
great vessel had s5eds 45 degrees.
The small army in the steerage,
arousd from their sleep by the crack
ling Of flames, rushed, panic stricken,
for the pier. Most of them spent the
remainder Of the night huddled in dis
comfort at the shore end of the pier.
None Of the steerage passengers
had been inspected by the customs
or health authorities. Because of this,
armed guards surrounded them. The
immigration authorities rushed them
to Ellis Island this forenoon.
The great ship was dark with all
on obard asleep, when smoke, ascend
ing from the provision room, was dis
covered simultaneously by a seaman
on deck watch and petty officer on
the bridge. Almost at the same mo
ment the cracking of flames was
heard in the steerage quarters.
