The Man Who
Pulls Teeth With
His Fingers.

Mr.. A. d. Brown, the man who USED
to pull teeth with his fingers on
stock sales days at Paris, KY, and
whose work was the talk of the whole
county.

came to Paris on Court Day and ad-
vertised a medicine known as
Browns Snake Oil Liniment, and left
it for sale with Chas. E. Butler & Co.
druggists of Paris, Ky. Since then
Mr.. Butler has sold hundreds of bot
ties of this wonderful medicine, and
makes the broad statement that it
has produced more cures than any
medicine that was ever sold through
his drug store.

WOULD SAVE VETERANS
FROM PENSION "SHAVERS'

Because he wanted to save his old
comrades in arms from the hands OF
pension "shavers,' G.. E. Hoge, presi-
dent of the State National Bank, of
Frankfort, has volunteered to redeem
at their face value the May issue of
Confederate pension warrants, which
will be sent out in a few days by
State Treasurer Thomas S. Rhea.
The issue aggregates more than $780,
0O0 The quarterly distribution of
$50 will be paid in checks from the
State Treasury; but those who have
been added to the pension list since
the February distribution will draw
back pay at the rate of $40 the month
from the date of their application,
some of them drawing pay from July,
1912, when the law went into effect.
Warrants will be issued to them
The pension warrants were mailed
to the pensioners last week. Accom-
panying each warrant were instruc-
tions to the pensioner to present the
warrant at his local bank and inform
the bankers that the State National
Bank at Frankfort will take the war
rant at it's face value. In this way
the pensioners will receive the full
amount of their pensions at once by
presenting them at their local banks.
The response of Col. HOge to Treas
urer Rhea's request for someone to
cash the warrants was prompted by
sentiment. Col Hoge served during
the war with Braxton's artillery in
the Army of Northern Virginia, and
was noe of the ragged band that sur
rendered at AppomattoX court house.
He has prospered since the war, and
when the case was laid before him he
accepted the opportunity to do some
thing for his comrades in arms with
whom fortune has dealt less kindly.
State Treasurer Rhea says he real
ICES that it is no slight mater for a
bank to come forward with more than
100000 in lump to take up these
warrants, but he is determined to

HIGHLY PROFITABLE FARMS.

Farm management surveys are now
being conducted in a good many local
tiles in this country. In nearly all
of them it has been found that from
2 to per cent. of the farmers are
making very handsome incomes. A
study of these highly profitable farms
with a view to finding wherein they
differ from ordinary farms brings ont
some very interesting relations.
The farms may be divided into
three classes. One class cOnsits of
highly specified farms, where the
farming is not only of the most in
tensive character but is of large mag
nitude. Highly successful farms of
this class are found only in those To-
calities that possess distinct advant-
ages in the matter of markets for
perishable farm products or very dis
tinct advantages in the matter of
soil and climate.
Another class consists offarms pro-
ducing products of exceptional quail
ity. They are mainly farms on which
very high priced live stock are pro-
duced. These farms are scattered
more or less throughout the country
and are not numerous anywhere.
There is in fact not room for large
number of such farms in any section.
The third class consists of farms
that are organized on the basis Of
standard field crops and the. ordinary
types of livestock farming, but which
are both very large and very we'll
managed. 1t is this latter. class of
farms which appears most commonly
in the Middle West, as well as farms
devoted to the production of the
highest class of breeding stock, stand
out very prominently amongst the
highly profitable farms.
While the highly specialized farm
represents the possibility of great
profit, it frequently also represents
the possibility of heavy losses on ac-
count of the tremendous fiuctuatiOn in
production, and consequently in pri-
ces, of the products of intensive
farming. In the greater portion of the
country the great mass of farmers
must gain their livelihood from the
ordinary field crops and the common
types of live stock. The surveys
clearly demonstrate the fact that in
general farming the size of the farm
is very important factor. The
farm should be large enough to give
the working force available to the
farmer a maximum of productive la
Dor throughout the year

CHANNEL TUNNEL IDEA
MORE THAN CENTURY OLD

The idea of a channel tunnel has
now been in the air for more than a
century, but even so, it comes no
where near record for long-consider-
ed schemes. The ship canal across
the Isthmus of Corinth, which was
completed in 1892, was the finish of
scheme dating back to 900 B. c.,
when Perlander employed Egyptian
engineers to survey the isthmus.
Nero actually begun work along the
site of the present canal, but at his
death this was abandoned and men
continued to weigh up the idea for
another eighteen centuries.

VIII Irvin in Harper's Weekly

Press with the franchise rights old
members hold, Is able to keep young
men out of the association, for by right
of protest newspapers holding an AS
ISOLATED Press franchise may prevent
the granting Of a new franchise in
their territory. To promote the asso-
citation in early days, money was nee
essary. In return for bonds which
were granted, forty-one metropolitan
papers hold that many votes in perpe-
tuity, while new members hold only
one. This gives the old crowd per-
petual control.
Attitude Of Reporters.
Dialating on the ease with which AS
ISOLATED Press reporters drift into see
ing only news that will not injure the
big interests, Irwin says:
A movement in stocks is to him
news-big news. Widespread indus
trial misery in a mining camp is
scarcely news at all. The flare and
action at a strike in Paterson is news
The weight of vested power crushing
down the unions after the strike is
not news. A California hop-pickers'
strike, with murder on the side, is
news. The trial which follows, with
it's illumination of the methods of
Tory interests, when they have their
own way, is not news"
'The agents of this dominant bureau
owing to their point of view, select
from the events of the day such news
as squares with the conservative pic
ture of our work; and their organiza-
ton binders or prevents the rise Of
publishers who might present the
other side. And, including though it
does a few newspapers of most radical
tendencies, the Associated Press is,
in bulk, a powerful force of reaction"

Strange Happenings.

press despatch from Passaic, N. j., relates
how an aged woman discovered the body of her
dauphter-in-law in well by means OF a dream.
The young woman had disappeared week before
and the most thorough search had failed to dis
cover her whereabouts Finally after days or
brooding and worry, the old lady fell into SUM-
Der during which she saw as clearly as IN broad
clay the body of the young woman lying IN we'll
Strange to say, the corpse was found exactly as
the dream had depicted
A few years ago, this story would have met
with incredulousness: today it cannot be laughed
out of court. The best educated are not SO sure
but in these instances certain faculties are at
work which never function in normal expert
The most rigorous scientific Investigations
have proved great many of these phenomena
actually to have occurred, as is evidenced by the
thousands on record in the Society for Physical
Research.
More than a month before the event, steno-
grapher employed by the Wright Brothers, pro-
phesied the accidental death of Ralph tombstone,
one of their avators. The daring birdman per-
ished in manner that fulfilled the girls dream
in every detail.
Dayton, Ohio woman prophesed the death
by asphyxiation of entire East End family.
She saw them in her dream smothered by gas
while asleep and the house burned down before
the bodies could be rescued. The thing happened
precisely according to her foretelng.
Reverend Father William F. Flaherty, a
Roman Catholic priest of Lafayette, Indiana, had
q clear premonition of his death week be-
fore its occurrence. While in the best of health
to all appearances, he told young member of
his congregation he was about to go "a long

The surprise of everybody, he died as he himself

strange occurrences that group of English
scholars about quarter of a century ago organ
lied the Royal Society for Physical Research an
organization which probes the stories to the bot

that stand the test. Multitudes, it goes without

Pink Boil Worm, Intercepted oy
Government Officials.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The federal horticultural board has
intercepted a shipment of cotton seed
from Egypt which was found to De
heavily infested by the so-called pink
boil worm. This is result OF the
quarantine against cotton seed which
was promulgated by the board some
time ago. The seed, which was In
tended for planting in Arizona, ar
rived in Boston, where the customs
officials, under instructions from the
board, obtained possession OF 1t.
The pink boil worm is the most serb
Gus cotton pest in Egypt. In that
country it does as much damage as
the boil weevil in this country. The
possibility Of reducing the damage 1t
causes has been considered by gov
ornamental commissions and confer
ences for several years. Like the
boil weevil, It works for the greater
part of its existence within the bolls.
Frequently 1t makes its way inside
the seeds, where 1t can live for an
indefinite time. In fact, in expert
ments performed in the ministry of
agriculture in Egypt 1t was found
that the worms have lived for as long
as seven months in seed In storage.
