may be understood
that the slit in each

really only two OBJ

The slit trouser, of
course, has not the

being slit.

Years as Man.
Quincy, Ill.-The sex of Albert D. ].
Cashier, civil war veteran and an in
mate of the SC.iiers and Sailors home
here, has just been revealed by Colo
mel J. O. Anderson. superintendent of
the home, to be feminine
The woman, whose real name will
probably never be known, served three
years in the Union army during the
civil war. She was mustered out Of
the service in 1865 and few years
later was placed on the government
pension roll. She entered the soldiers
home two years ago, and at that time
her sex was known only to Colonel An
derson. who promised not to reveal her
secret. A short time ago she was ad-
Judged insane. and as result she was
committed to the state hospital.
Revelation of her sex was made two
years ago in Livingston county, Ill,
where she was employed by ex-Sena-
tor |. M. Lish as chauffeur. It is said
by the ex-senator that one day his ma
chine would not run and the chauffeur
crawled under the car. While she was
tampering with the mechanism the en-
CINE started suddenly, and the wheels
of the car passed over her, breaking
her right leg. When the chauffeur was
taken to a hospital it was discovered
that she was a woman.

old POLITICAL FEUD
OFFICIALLY ENDED.
TiIIman and Gonzales Recon.
CiIed, Even After B|o0dshed.

Columbia, S. C.-When United States
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman of,
South Carolina recently consented to
the confirmation by the senate of Pres
ident Wilson's appointment of William
3. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia
Is. g. State, as minister to Cuba a IA
nous political and personal feud Of
twenty-four years standing in South
Carolina came to an official end The
Tillman and Gonzales families have
been bitter enemies, and the Palmetto
State has been the scene or many heat
ed battles fought by able leaders on
both sides. On one occasion the differ
ences were augmented by bloodshed
The Gonzales brothers-three Of
them-were opponents of views Of
the old aristocratic element-the ex-
slave owners and wealthy planters who
could trace their ancestors back hun
dreds of years and who composed the
society element and the financial back
bone Of the state. Senator Tillman in
his vigorous and stirring campaign for
governor of South Carolina in the ear
ly nineties was victorious over this op
position. He was elected United States
senator and has served his state in this
capacity for the past sixteen years.
James Tillman, a nephew of the SEN
ator, was elected lieutenant governor
Later he was candidate for governor
The Gonzales fight on the Tillmans
had never let up-many stinging and
rebuking editorials were published in
their paper James Tillman was de-
feated. Shortly after the election he
met N. G. Gonzales, at that time edi-
tor of the paper, on the streets Of
Columbia and shot him dead. He sub
sequently was acquitted. A monument
now stands in Columbia honoring the
memory of N. G. Gonzales. On this it
is recorded that Gonzales was "mur-
dered" near the spot where the monu-
ment stands,
Jim Tillman, as he was generally
known, was later retired from politics.
He became ill with tuberculosis The
climate of the west failed to cause an
Improvement in his condition. and he
returned to his native state. In the
meantime he had quarreled with his
uncle, and the breach was an open one
{ The last days of Jim Tillman were
spent in lonely little cottage at Ashe-
vile. N. G., and he died there about
a year ago.
The bitter campaign of 1912 against
Cole L. Blease came on in South Caro-
lima in August, 1912 For the first
time Tillman and Gonzales were on
the same side, both favoring the cleo
ton Of the opponent of Blease This
tended to bring the two factions on
closer terms. The fact that Senator
Tillman permitted the senate to con-
i firm the appointment of Mr.. Gonzales
as minister to Cuba officially ends the
struggle of twenty years. marked by a
continual and able fighting on both

Baltimore.-Recent investigations in
the laboratories Of the Johns Hopkins
Medical school seem to indicate state
intermediate between life and death,
since life i'll many organisms may be
suspended by freezing in liquid air and
by other processes and then may be
resuscitated
Bacteria, the lowest plant organisms,
have enormous powers Of resisting
death. Bacteria of various diseases
are seen in the laboratory frozen in
liquid air at a temperature of 800 de-
grees F.
There are instances Of the lives Of
frogs, rats, snails and fish being sus-
pended by this freezing process, yet on
being "thawed OUT after several weeks
they revive
These animals are perfectly normal
when placed in refrigerating jar fill
ed with liquid air at a certain tempera-
ture After a short time the animals
appear lifeIess A month later they
are removed and on being massaged
show signs Of life, often reviving com
pletely.
I: Recently successful efforts were
made in the medical school to revive
the apparently dead heart Of an ami
NAL. AS explained by DR.. Alexis Car
rel, who recently lectured before the
student body here, in about five cases
out Of ten the heart of a chicken took
on renewed energy several hours after
death. Immediately after death the
heart was frozen and preserved. A
few hours later it was resuscitated by
massage.

the work will not be done on an ex.

cooperative demonstration work in
the southern states. This work has
met with phenomenal success and has
solved many farm problems for the

Effective organization in marketing

consumer by removing the middleman

tion," says DR.. Carver. Generally
speaking, the farmer must do his own
organizing and not depend either upon
financial agencies or upon govern
mental agencies for the doing Of the
actual work The government, how
ever, has facilities for collecting, tabu-
lating and spreading information which
neither Individual farmers nor groups
of farmers possess.
TT is not only necessary that the
farmers income should be increased,
but that country life should be made
sufficiently attractive to induce the
farmer to remain in the country even
when he has a large income In the
past it was generally true that the
more prosperous agriculture was the
faster farmers have moved to town.
This problem Is In some respects
more difficult than the purely economic
problems OF marketing and credit
There must be some effective organiza-
ton Of rural interests to support an
educational system In our rural schools
at least equal to those found in the
city schools. There must be organiza-
ton for rural sanitation, which will

In telling trees, Solomon Abbott of
Shelby, north of this city, has devel-

Not far from the Sullivan ranch and
near the junction of Cut Bank creek
and Two Medicine creek there is a
butte, probably $50 or 500 feet above
the surrounding country and about
seven miles in circumference. 1t has
cut banks so steep at every point that
they are impossible for cattle and
horses and at but one point is a fence
needed to keep the animals on top Of
the butte
The butte is absolutely devoid of
timber, but at one time on the summit
there grew a fine straight pine tree
two feet in diameter and not short Of
80 to 100 feet high. This is proved by
the fact that the tree now lies full
length on the ground, cut into two foot
lengths, the Ak marks discernible in
every cut of the wood. which is now
petrified
To fell the tree uphill, as was done,
1t had to be chopped on the side to-
ward which it was to fall almost en-
tirely, and the petrified stump shows
that this was done. Every one of the
cuts, which hint of commercial pur-
poses for the wood, gives indisputable
evidence of the woodlands ak
Abbott is pioneer and is believed
to have been the first white man to
have climbed to the top Of the butte

funds, and it commends the motto of

"Public health is purchasable: within
Datural limitations a community can

Here are some of the principles laid
down for raising babies:
The baby nursed by its mother has

Clean milk is Fundamentally neces-
sary. Cities should not tolerate the sale
Of dipped or Goose milk The bull
letin continues:
THE ideal is. nothing short of clean
milk for everybody But the need for
the prompt remedy of bad milk condi-
lions is more urgent in its relations to
the welfare, of babies than to that Of
adults, since dirty milk is largely re-
sponsible for the occurrence of diar-
rhea and enteritis. the most frequent
causes Of death among infants. The
remedy lies in the intelligent and ef-
fective inspection Of farms, the means
Of transportation and the shops where
milk is sold. .
Z The bulletin advocates the establish
ment Of municipal milk stations such
as are now maintained in some cities.
The milk station 1t says, .is sim

modate the patrons and equipped with

to the importance of this sort Of work
