RELICS OF PONCE De LEON
Collection Of Extraordinary Interest,
Belonging to Illinois Man, Has
Been Enriched.

A collection Of relics, not related in
any way, but each object of which is
particularly interesting in itself, is
that of Michael Robinson of Shawnee
town, ILL.,, to whose treasures was re-
Gently added a piece of the coffin in
which Ponce de Leon was buried in
the old cathedral at San Juan, Porto
Rico.
When the leaden coffin of the ex.
plorer was examined before it was
transferred from the old cathedral to
the new one, it was found to be in
a very poor condition. So insecure
did it APPEAR that it was decided a
new coffin should be provided. The
old one was then discarded and cut
into pieces, which we're given to per-
sons of prominence who attended the
cathedral ceremonies. Cardinal Far
ley, who was in charge of the celebra-
ton, gave one of these pieces to
Capt. o. P. Townsend, who command
ed the guard of honor for the body,
and Captain Townsend gave the relic
to Mr.. Robinson to add to his already
interesting collection.
From cons and cons further back
in the history of this continent comes
another interesting relic which Mr..
Robinson treasures, a block Of sand
stone bearing the clear imprint Of the
human foot. 1t was taken from "The
Rocks" short distance from Shaw
neetown, but over the border line in
Kentucky 1t is believed in the neigh
borhood that the imprint is that Of
prehistoric man.
A third era of the continents his
tory, that which brings the collection
down to the modern world, is repre-
scented by an old silk revolutionary

GLUTEN FEED TO DAIRY COWS
Good supplementary Food May Be
Profitably Given in Place of Bean
MeaI-Other Good Feeds.

Gluten feed forms a good supple
mentary food for dairy COWS and may
be profitably fed to take the place of
bean meal in forming the concentrate
ed part of the ration.
Cows eat gluten feed regularly and
it may be safely given up to seven
pounds a day, though smaller quanti-
ties fed as part of mixture will prob.
ably give the better result.
Bean meal and crushed oats have
fully maintained their past reputation
of being an excellent food for dairy
cows, but the mixture is more ex.
pensive than an equal weight OF
gluten feed.
Sugar beet is an excellent food for
the dairy cows There is little diff
Guilty at first in getting some animals
to take to it. 1t shows very marked
effect in stimulating and maintaining
the yield of milk, even when the cows
are advanced in lactation.
Cows fed on sugar beets produce a
cream more difficult to churn than
those fed on an equal weight of tur
nips and the butter is very pale in
color.
Gluten feed is the refuse after the
extraction of starch from grain and
may be had iii two forms, either as
gluten meal or as gluten feed, the lat
ter consisting of the hull, the gluten
layer and the germ, the hull being alb
sent in the case of gluten meal.
The gluten feed is naturally the
lighter fed of the two and may be
fed to the extent Of seven pounds or
eight pounds daily. It's feeding com
position approximates fairly closely to
beans and peas and it keeps well.

before l could even be assured of my
next months rent coming in. If one
is bad, one is bad. Don't you agree
with me, Philip"
Philip stirred uneasily in his chair.
He looked toward his mother The
smiles had gone from her face and
tears were streaming down her with
cred cheeks.
Il wish the boy we're here" burst
out old Isaac. "He ought to have one
more chance. He's paid for his folly.
Don't cry, mother I'm going to find
him and tell him so. l guess we can
do something for him yet"
well" said Abraham, reluctantly,
maybe one chance more. But who
would employ him? Who'd give him a
chance, with such a character as he's
got?"
81 WILL" said Isidor. 'Tll take him
on in my store if he really means to

chel, patting her brothers hand.
well, 1 didn't quite mean what I
say" admitted Marcus After all, he's
our brother, and one ought to stand by
ones own through thick and thin"
That's right" said Philip. "Be-
sides, this is New Year"
Children said old Isaac, address
ing the bearded men in vehement
tones, 81 stand by what Phil says.
This is New Year, and no matter what
has happened during the past year, all
of you meet here as friends and in mu-
tual forgiveness. Cheer up, mother,
I'm going to find that boy, cost what it
may, and do the right thing by him"
"And he shall start in with me at
once" said Isidor.
Gee, that turkey smells good" said
little Frank. "Why don't we begin,
pa?"
81 wish Meyer would hurry up" said
Rachel; and just, then they heard
Meyer Seidlitz come bounding up the
stairs. Outside the door he halted and
heated discussion appeared to be
taking place.
Meyer flung the door wide open and
the alteration changed to a scuffie.
Here he is" he yelled triumphantly.
First man l met He looks as if he
wants a neal saw him standing
near the water front, looking as
though he was about ready to throw
himself in. Come in, you donkey.
Don't you understand that you're in
vited to dinner?"
He dragged him inside.
Lawrence" cried each one, rising;
and then there was scrimmage to get
to the fugitive. But old Rebekah had
him in her arms, and she was crying
over him, as though he were child
again.

THIRTEEN At TABLE
BY FRANK FlLsON.

~ MANN iISONs
Although the New Year OF his own
people was celebrated more than three
months earlier, Isaac Mandelstamm re-
joiced in keeping festival upon the
New Year of the nation of which he
felt himself to be an integral part. 1t
was more than forty years since he
had arrived from Russia and opened a
little tailors shop on the lower East
side. His sons and daughters had
prospered and had moved uptown, but
old Isaac and his wife Rebekah still
lived in the modest tenement in which
their children had been born and had
grown to manhood and womanhood
Every December 81 there was a re-
union like this one. Abraham and his
wife Yetta had motored down from
their country home near Yonkers, with
their children, Morris and Frank Isl
dor, part owner of a department store,
had brought his wife and daughter
Rachel, the school teacher, had
brought her fiance, Meyer Seidlitz;
and there were Philip, the rising young
lawyer, and Marcus, the architect, who
had only begun to prosper after sew
eral years of obscurity Only one
child was absent-Lawrence the
youngest, and the Benjamin of his
fathers old age.
No matter what the passing year
had brought forth, each child of the
aged couple made it point of honor
to pay respects to his parents by din
ing with them in the little fiat Every
body looked forward to this annual
gathering. They we're the happiest
people in the world as they took their
places at the table. Isaac, hale octo-
genarian, sat at the table, wearing his
black skull cap, and began sharpening
the carving knife At the foot his wife
sat facing him. her wrinkled face
smiling, her eyes beaming with love as
she gazed upon her children. Abra-
ham, the financier, and Isidor, the mer-
chant, fraternized on equal terms with
Marcus, who was Just beginning to
emerge above the horizon of success,
and Rachel and Philip, who had not
seen each other for months, were so
preoccupied that Meyer Seidlitz felt
pang of jealousy, in spite of the fact
that they we're brother and sister The
turkey was sizzling in its rich brown

melt inside their jackets, the celery
was crisp and dainty, the olives
cleaned lusciously, and there was an
inviting sparkle Of cut glass and sill
verware.

"Who believes in that, I'd like to

But old Rebekah had been failing,
and to continue with the meal seemed
impossible If this was to be her last
New Years dinner each would feel
like murderer. Meyer Seidlitz jumped
out of his chair.
"I'll get somebody to make the four

'Whom?" asked Rachel.
1.-THE first person l meet" answered
Meyer, and departed amid shouts OF
approval.
Old Isaac put down the carvers and
sighed deeply.
81 know what you're thinking of,
father" said Rachel patting his hand.
Poor Lawrence!'
Isidor and Abraham exchanged
glances. Lawrence was the black sheep
of the family. Success had never come
to him. Time and again his father or
his brothers had made good defalca-
lions and dishonesties on his part, I'M
til at last Lawrence had embezzled a
large sum of money from business
firm for which he worked. Isidor had
got him that position. He paid cheer
fully, but Lawrence had received six
months Imprisonment. He had written
pitiful letters to his parents and broth
ers after his release, but nobody had
trusted him again or answered him.

ooh, I've done well today" he said;
Il gave a man whose hope had fled
New hope and saw him push ahead"
His wife asked: where's the money?
You gave another hope, you say;
What profit have you in return?
No footman waits on me today,
And it is little that you earn
Where's the money!"
"Oh, I've done WELL" he said again;
"a golden sentence from my pen
Has earned the praise of thoughtful
men,"
His wife asked: where's the money?
Your golden sentences may please
few poor pedants, grave and old,
But they who live in splendid ease
Still scorn W. for our lack of gold
Where's the money!"
''Oh, I've done WELL he said once more;
In future men will praise my lore
And wear pathway to my door"
His wife asked: where's the money?
Who cares what future men may say?
l still am forced to skimp and save;
What will it matter If some day
Men pile their tributes on your grave?
Where's the money!"
He bravely went his way to do
The best he might, to still pursue
The course that had been found by few;
sTNhe world asked: Where's the money!"
He wisely served posterity
! And earned a future, lasting fame
But, scorned' by those about him. he

In the southern part of Scotland,
dairying is almost the sole occupa-

are practically all high-grade or pure

Varied Rations for Cows.

Cows should not be kept too long
on one particular ration, good though
it may be, and the feed should consist
of a variety of materials rather than
any single one. A sufficient ration
must be given for the maintenance of
body and the production of milk. 1t is
false economy to allow COW to pro-
duce milk at the expense of her own
body.
