OLD ADAM STRONG IN HIM
Sad Time for Mother When She Real.
lied Her Pet Had Passed Beyond
the Angelic Period.

Mothers darling, age four, was not
to be like other boys and learn to use
naughty and slangy words. He was
not allowed to play with the older
boys in the neighborhood for fear his
sensitive nature might be shocked at
the language they used. One day,
while mother was busy, he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with a crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took a
complete course in modern language
On his return mother said:
Where has my precious been?"
you should worry and get a
wrinkle" he cheerfully replied
Dearest, tell mother where you
learned such horrible language"
mother exclaimed.
Jaw, good night shirt" came sweet
ly from the Cupid bow mouth
Then mother commenced to weep,
for she realized that her angel child
was just boy after all.

PRODUCTION OF FAT LAMBS
Flock Masters Are not Slow in Find.
Ing Out What Breed Suits.
Their Soil and Climate.
CBy r. G. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


The Shropshire is much in favor as
sire for fat lamb production of
Welsh or Kerry Hill ewes, and the
Ryeland also claims qualities of no
mean order in this respect.
Where flock is kept solely for the
fat lamb trade, and the ewes are
cleared out every year as soon as the
lambs are off, then the Welsh, Kerry
or Chevoit is generally in favor
crossed with Shropshire, Ryeland or
Western ram. The latter are much
used and their lambs feed very
quickly and are of fine quality.
Flock masters, as a rule, are not
long in finding out what breed suits
their soil and climate best, and In
sheep breeding both are very import.

heavy land quality must be to some
extent sacrificed to size.

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very 'sot''
in her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like certain man She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out OF
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain.
Quick as flash she answered her
questioner, "He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is
softie'"
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an um-
brella"
This did not stump the old lady "But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against it.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say "But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
preiudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, it all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-AdV.

The Fascination of Mushrooms.

Of all the uncertain crops, this
probably stands at the head. While
they will sometimes grow of their
own accord, apparently as easy as
weeds, they often refuse to grow
under the best conditions. This is
why they usually sell at price that
seems high, if they could be grown
as cheaply as potatoes they would
not sell for any more.
While mushrooms are not particu-
lar where they grow, when you con-
slider that they need a temperature of
between SO and 60 degrees, a moist
air where the ventilation is good and
where there are no drafts, and that
there should be water under or drip
ping on to the beds, and that there
must be no rats in the sheds or Gel
lars, you can get some idea that it is
necessary to have a place where you
cannot only heat and keep the cold
out in winter, but also keep the heat

ARCHIBALD GUILTY,
DEPRIVED OF OFFICE
SAYS HE'S INNOCENT
Senate Convicts Commerce Court
Judge on Five of Thirteen
Charges

Charges
Washington, D. c., Jan. l3.-Rob'
ert w. Archibald of Scranton, Pa, for
twenty-nine years an occupant of ju.
dicial position on the Pennsylvania
bench, the Federal district bench and
the United States Commerce Court,
was today adjudged guilty by the
United States Senate of high crimes
and misdemeanors," was stripped Of
his office and foreverdisqualified from
holding positions of public honor or
public trust.
The conviction ard judgment came
as the conclusion OF the impeachment
trial that has been pending in the
Senate since last summer on charges
that Judge Archibald had been guilty
of misconduct and misbehavior as
Judge and that he had corruptly used
his judicial power to further the pri-
vate interests of himself and his
friends, in the acquisition of coal land
properties in Pennsylvania.
On five Of the thirteen charges
brought against him by the House of
Representatives, Judge Archibald was
found guilty. On the other eight the
Senate voted him not guilty, the ma
jority in some cases being against
him, but failing of the two-thirds ma
jority necessary for conviction Any
one of the five verdicts OF guilty was
enough to bring the punishment i'm
posed on him.
Unusual Silence Prevails
The end Of the long-fought struggle
in the Senate came early in the after
noon, when the vote was taken on the
first article of impeachment. With
gallery doors locked to prevent the
movement of spectators an unaccust-
omed hush prevailing throughout the
chamber, Senators rose i'll their places
as their names were called and pro-
nounced the word guilty in almost
inaudible tones.
The vote on the first charge that
Judge Archibald had corruptly influ-
enced officials of the Erie Railroad to
sell him the Katydid culm dump at
Scranton resulted in his conviction by
a vote of 68 to 5.
In little committee-room off the
gallery floor, behind guarded door,
Judge Archibald, his wife and son,
Hugh, sat throughout the afternoon
as the Senate voted.
The first vote of conviction was
carried to him by his son from the
gallery. After sentence had been i'm
posed on him Judge Archibald and his
'amily left the Capitol to go at once to
he family home at Scranton.
II have always known that | have
lone no wrong and the vote of no one
makes it otherwise is his only COM
nent upon the Senate action.

By sending these letters to the home
papers | receive long letters from old
friends that had not thought of for
a long time and, by the way. they get
an answer too.
We had onions for dinner that were
set out December IA and they are fine
Cant you smell my breathe,
New Years day | took a ride to the
country three miles out and picked
ripe strawberries and eat them off of
vines that were out in the garden and
had not been covered or taken any
extra care of, and the strawberry
vines that we brought with us are in
bloom and looking fine and only two
or three died out of what we brought.
We have been blowing and disking
for potatoes. We will plant about 8
acres, and, in order that you may
know how hard the ground plowS, l
have been blowing the ponies to
twelve-inch pillow for the last two days
while the other team run the disk so
you see that one does not want a
big team here.
1t is raining this afternoon so l will
get rest. It is nice to sit in the
house and hear the trains go by as
there are IL passenger trains on this
road daily. People are coming here
as fast as flies come to Missouri in the
spring. This hotel sent 20 people
down to Ormand one night last week
as this little town could not hold them.
The thermometer this morning at
S o'clock was at 60, at l o'clock it was
at 60 and at Z o'clock tonight it is 81.
The warmest it has been since we
came was SO, the coolest was 80.
