VIOLENCE vs. PROFITS.
The Farmer Through Violence Loses
Far Moe Than He Gains.

The Farmer Through Violence Loses
Far Moe Than He Gains.
If there is one place in the world
where loss Of temper means loss OF
money to a greater degree than an
other, tits certainly the farm, writes
Doss Britain in Farm and Fireside.
Out in the throng of people where
man deals with man. where the harsh
er edges of human nature are round
ed by opinions of others, there is little
danger that the most violent of natures
will not be tanned down to reason.
Loss of temper there means loss Of
friends, loss of business, loss of mon
ey, loss of influence. Violence is not
tolerated. There is ample means eff
redress. Each man deals with his fell
low man, whose rights he is bound to
respect.
On the farm it is different. The
farmer and his family are a small
royalty which rules over a realm Of
lever beings. The horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, chickens, are all subjects
of a small absolute monarchy, of
which the farmer and his family are
rulers. The comfort. nay, the life II
self, of these poor, dumb, defenseless
2E --.E
creatures is in the hands of man. The
are in his power to do with as he
pIeases. If they are well treated, they
treat him we'll; by their lives and by
their deaths they provide him food and
rainent. They, more than any other
thing on the farm, provide him money
With which to secure the blessings of
civilization. Upon these, the lowly
creatures of the earth. man has risen
to his present high state Of develop
ment.
Just as a monarch is powerful when
his nation is prosperous and his sub
! jects happy, so does the contentment
and welfare of the farmers live stock
promote his prosperity. This the far
mel genera Ily knows when he is not
: in a passion of anger. Then he often
loses sight of rational considerations.
and treats his live stock with violence
and cruelty.
The work of a minute will undo the
work of years. A young man hal
worked long and hard for a beautiful
mare. He finally came into her pos
session. He was proud of her, but one
Gay he was in a hurry to take a trip
with her. AS he started to lead her
into the barn she pulled back. He
jerked her, causing her to catch her
foot in a stumpe5n the barn lot. She
fell and broke. her leg. A pistol shot
necessarily ended the ~sufferings and
| the life of a. beautiful young animal
that otherwise might have lived many
years Of usefulness. And the young
man grieved.
Another farmer had cared and
watched over the development of a
ME AS1lOI' one 1OuSA SOOu CdlA
and proved to be a fine mixer. One
night he attempted to milk her in<ths
lot. A few shucks lying loosely about
furnished the incentive for her to
reach for them and she took a few
steps. The farmer was in a hurry,
lost sis temper and kicked the COW in
the udder. Being unmilked, it was
distended to the utmost. The cruel
blow destroyed her usefulness as a
mich cow and she was sold to the
butcher. The one blow destroyed the
years of careful work, and it was the
act of a moment.
The only safe rule on the farm is:
never use violence in dealing with live
stock.

PANAMA SHIP HERE
Honolulan Brings First Passengers
Through Isthmuan Waterway.

The honor of carrying the first pas
sengors through the Panama Canal fell
to the Amerlcan-Hawaiian steamship

OF fruit from California at pier "a, South
Wharves. The vessel, in command OF
Captain j. 8. Greene, a native of this city
ard q graduate of Girard College, ar
rived here late Sunday afternoon after
a voyage OF 81 days. The big steamship
made the run through the canal in 0
hours and II minutes.
The arrival Of the Honolulan marks an
epoch in the history of the port. 1t Is a
practical demonstration of what the open
ing of the Panama Canal means to this
city. In the 5000 tons of cargo there were
California wines, fruits and canned SAL
mon. No return voyage with cargo Is
scheduled to be taken back on the Homo
lulan. but 1t is expected that a regular
service between this port and the Pacific
coast ports will be established In the
near future.
All of the IA passengers on board the
vessel were enthusiastic over the voy-
age. They remained on deck during the
trip through the great waterway which
began at Balboa carly on the morning Of
September and ended with the steamlng
into the Atlantic Ocean at Colon in the
afternoon.

URGE APPROPRIATION FOR

Feared City Will Lose Supremacy as

Feared City Will Lose Supremacy as
Great Medical Centre.
Leading medical men throughout the
city are unanimous In their conviction
that Philadelphia will lose Its supremacy
as great medical centre OF this country
unless provisions are made in the cur
rent loan for necessary improvements to
the Philadelphia General Hospital. Ply
siclans prominent In medical circles de-
plore the antiquated facilities available
at the hospital. They point out that
like institutions in other cities which are
striving for the enviable position long held
by Philadelphia will forge ahead and at
tain that honor unless the buildings and
equipment at Blockley are greatly aug.
mented and renovated.
In an effort to prevent this city from
losing Its notable position in the medical
world members of the Philadelphia Gem
eral Hospital staff have renewed their
efforts to have the municipal authorities
DO something for the general improve
ment of the institution.
The institution at present is antquated,
although maintained under the very best
auspices possible, and falls far short in
every require ment of modern hospital
Director Harte has urgently presented
request for 100000. He contends that
with anything less than that stipulated
sum nothing more than the dcplorable
systsm of making small. inadequate ad-
dtticls and patching here and there
could be accomplished. Thus. after eX-
penditures along those lines have been
made, the institution would still remain
an old and imperfect one without a sim
sic modern unit

poverty If they should be convicted when
brought to trial and fines inflicted on

fighting for the life Of convict in the
State Prison, who claims he Is innocent
OF the murder of a man in Hunterdon
County. but who was sentenced to serve
all of his days in the New Jersey State
Prison here, has interested Governor
Fielder and other prominent State on
clals.
Miss Eleanor C. Gebhardt, with Offices

Ter, who was convicted in Hunderdon
County on May Q, 1907, of the murder Of
Manning Riley at Califon, in January,
1907. 1t is the hope of Miss Gebhardt that
the Grand Jury will indlct Frank Burd for
the crime on the strength of a confession
which he Is said to have made septenb.r
SV lsi2. and which he subsequently re-
puuiated. Burd is now serving his third
term In the State Prison here under n.
slNteen-month sentence for carrying con-
eealed weapons. Seventeen witnesses will
Dc called before the Grand Jury.
s-, ne confession was addressed TO the
sheriff and read as follows:
AS long as they all want to put me
away so badly, will confess to one m
my wrongdoings, which will nut me
away which Is murder which I COM
nitted seven years ago. It has never

me confession was signed "Fran,s
Burd, per d." 1t was learned by the
Sner1n That the ID" referred to Robert
Darken. who was a follow-prisoner OF
Burd's in the Hunterdon jail. II was
found out by the Sheriff that Burd re-
ferred to the Riley murder.
Burd later said that he was only ro-
mancing. and that he was in the state
Home for Boys at Jamesburs when the
crime was committed. The Sheriff, how
ever, uiscoVered that Burd. had been re-
leased from the Jamesburg institution IL
