the crew let him alone, but wired
George Schlong, who was at Lem
mon, to meet the train upon its ar
rival at that station. When the
train pulled into Lennon Schlong
and Axtell were on hand. Mathews
was found in a box ar. When the
officers opened the door of the car
the bandit opened fire on them. One
bullet struck Deputy Sheriff Axtell
in the shoulder while another bullet
struck Schlong over the heart. A
bundle of papers in Schlong's inside

saved his life, but caused a bad
wound on the breast. Another bull
let pierced Schlong's sleeve, but did
not injure him.
The officers opened fire immedi-
ately, killing Mathews instantly.

Rapid City, April 15.-The dairy
silo-alfalfa train of the South Da-
kota State college and the State
Dairymen's association finished its
1,900-mile journey over the Milwau-
kee line with a final demonstration
meeting in Rapid City. Fifty-two
towns were visited by the train, with
an aggregate attendance of nearly
10000 people. The schedule inclua-
ed all the important railway stations
east and west of Aberdeen, south of
Aberdeen to Mitchell, and thence
westward to Rapid City. The train
was on the road IL days. making ev-
cry stop on schedule time.
As suggested by the name, this
train vas intended to urge farmers
to grow dairy alfalfa, build silos ana
organize dairy herds, in the mean
time conserving soil fertility with
animal waste.
A. p. Ryger. secretary of the State
Dairymen's association has been in
conference with dairymen and but
termakers along the line with sug-
gestions and encouragement Tor
their work; A. N. Hume, State col
lege agronomist, and Manley Cham
lin, assistant agronomist. have talk
ed alfalfa and forage crops; f. w.
Merrill and l.. w. Foote, silo ex-
perts, have explained silos and sill
age; C. Larsen, dairy husbandry-
man at State college, has discussed
the Importance of good dairy cows
and how they may be obtained from
ordinary beginnings.
The train was received with great
enthusiasm at every point. Many
towns were surrounded by a very
sparsely settled territory, but in
spite of the cold weather, it was es-
timated that fully so per cen of the
town and country residents visited
the train. Evening meetings were
held at Lennon, Aberdeen, Milbank,
Mitchell, Chamberlain and Murdo.
Farmers drove in often more than 4O
miles for the privilege of obtaining
instruction at the train.

So Years of Common Sense
in Clothes Making

No. 5130 Blue Serge Special is a suit of
clothes made for real men of all ages who
want the utmost in solid, substantial value
for their money.
It's the elimination of sixty-eight years
of common sense in Clothcraft Clothes
making = which sounds easy but wasn't.
It meant studying every little operation
from cutting the cloth to sewing on the
buttons = to find the one best and shortest
way in each case.
Here's another point: Cutting the cloth
for twenty suits at once not only means
doing it better, it also means saving time
and money.
That saving gives you better cloth,
better lining, better designing.
No other method could have put so
much all-round value into a suit like
$3.50" at S15.00-al all ready to put on and
wear.
Clothcraft includes many models, both
in $3.50" and in a variety of other fabrics
and patterns. It's the one Guaranteed All
Wool line at $40 to 500.
Write for the new Style Book and per-
sonal note of introduction to the nearest

Tinker will help him a great deal.
Little Alex Zwilling, formerly with
the White Sox, is one outfeld fix
ture. He is one of the best hitters
in the game, a slashing left-handed
batter, spry and quick, but not very
fast. He failed with the White Sox
merely because he was kid who was
having too much fun and who took
on too much fat. He is ten pounds
lighter than he was then, faster, and
he is married and taking life more
seriously. Wickland, who was one of
the Reds most promising youngsters,
is there to fit in at any spot. Walsh
looks fair and much is hoped for from

East Africa's Bio Game.

Big game Of British East Africa, out
side of the three preserves Of the col.
ony, is rapidly vanishing and, accord
ing to w. T. Hornaday, sis absolutely
certain to disappear in about one
fourth the time that it took South AT
RIGA to accomplish the same result"
Mr.. Hornaday points out that the pres
ent legal bag limit is ruinously extrav-
agant. For $3.50 any man may buy the
right to kill 800 head Of hoofed and
horned animals Of forty-four species,
not counting carnivorous animals that
may also be killed. Thus the richest
big game fauna of any one spot in the
world, which nature has been several
million years in developing and placing
there, seems likely to be wiped out by
man within the next fifteen years.

The FOO Peril.

One of the great conquests of science
for human safety will be the discovery
Of some effectual means of disclosing
to every ship at sea the approach and
position of any other vessel which may
come near in a fog. So far the fog
peril remains as deadly as it ever was.
In some respects the conditions change
for the worse. The growth of COM
merce increases the number of ships
which traverse the seas. Every year
the water highways are more fully oc-
cupied, and the tendency is toward a
higher average speed. Nothing can be
seen through dense fog Nothing can
be heard with sufficient distinctness
and certainty as to distance and direc-
ton to meet the demands of safety.
The best fog signals in use repeatedly
fall to avert terrible disasters. -Cleve-

HIS DREAM MATERIALIzED.
Curious Incident In the Career Of
Novelist s. r. Crockett.

Novelist s. r. Crockett.
One morning the postman brought to
s. R. Crockett, the novelist, a letter
from the editor of the St. James
Gazette containing small check as
payment for contribution. Mr..
Crockett knew that nothing was due
to him, that he had been paid for all
articles, and-remarkable mamie did
the check up in an explanatory note
and returned it to the editor.
The next day back came the check
from the editor remarkable man
with note saying it was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen Of Mr. Crockett
which had not been paid for, hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re-
markable man-returned the check,
and still the remarkable editor refor-
warded it, this time with the article
cut out of the columns of the St.
James Gazette
Now comes the curious feature of
the incident. When Mr.. Crockett
clapped his eyes on the article he was
astonished to find it one of his dreams
materialized. One night, going to bed
extra tired, he dreamed that a good
idea for a st. James, Gazette column
had occurred to him, that he then and
there sat down, wrote it and posted it..
Next morning he remembered his
dream and made up his mind some day
to write the article exactly as he
dreamed he had written it, when, to
his establishment. came article and
check from the newspaper. Few writ
ers earn checks while asleep. London
