HAS EVERY IMPROVEMENT
In HIS FARM Home

NO longer need the farm home be
the very epitome of drudgery. hard
work n Inconvenience. In the past
the farm to the women means perpetL
uaI slavery from dawn to dark with
none Of the aid that modern science
mas given to the farmer in his field.
But the change has come and today
there Is no reason why the farmers
wife shall not enjoy the comforts and
~conVeniences of a modern home of the
same type as her heretofore more for
tunate sister Of the city. A very fine
sample Of what can be done in the
way Of Improvement to an old fash
ioned home is afforded in the farm
nome or 6. F. Burau near Underwood.
Less tnan three years ago this was an
average farm house, nicely located on
a sllght emtnence sloping towards the
lake with large pleasant rooms but
with no special conveniences. Now it
IS a modern home with electric lights,
not and cold water in bath room and
kltchen, the latest sewer conveniences
and with a laundry in the basement
where the washing machine and
Wringer are power driven.
Power for all Is furnished by a two
horse power gas engine. The lighting
system is Of the storage battery type
and is charged by the gas engine at
the time that the washing machine is
in use. During the past two years the
average cost for gas to generate cleo
trlc1ty and power for the household
has been 30 cents per week. Not only
the house but also the barns. farm
yard and lawn are lighted, thus doing
away with the inconvenience and dam
ger Of lanterns. All this can be done
to the average farm home at an outlay
Of only a few hundred dollars. Verify
the farmers wife shall come into her
own.

4sleHr For TIE ANGELS
Father o'Hasan's Comment When he
Shared Blankets With Chaplain

New York Evening Post: For all the
years since the war, General Sickles'
chaplain, DR.. Twichell-who was long
plain "Mr. Twichell" because he would
never accept a degree until Yale con-
ferred 1t after he had resigned from
the corporation-has been telling war
stories at Grand Army campfires. One
which he loves to tell concerns Father
O'Hagan, for years at the head OF
Holy Cross college in Worcester.
He was one of my brother chap
lains in the old brigade" says the
former Chaplain Joe, and we became
such friends that once when we hap
pened to be on leave together he visit
ed with me at my fathers house in
Southington. After the var he visited
me here in Hartford a number Of
times. He never failed to refer to the
night Of the battle of Fredericksburg.
We had both been active for hours and
by midnight were compelled to have
sleep.
so we went off to one side of the
camp and laid down under the sky. 1t
was very cold, and we had only a
blanket apiece. After a time Father.

Two Patriots.

Editorial in the New York Times:
The World is casting about in its con-
seriousness for an explanation of the
phenomenon to which the Times not
long since called a~ttention-the way in
which those unselfish patriots, Hitch
cock of Nebraska and Reed Of Missouri,
invariably find 1t impossible to support
the. democratic administration in any,
thing 1t advocates, though they enjoy
their offices by virtue of a simple
minded belief among their constituents
that they are democrats. There must
be some good reason" Eliminates our
puzzled neighbor, for a line of conduct
which Is always ready to sacrifice the
democratic party and the larger needs
or the n Tor Cne sake or antaEon~
izing the president"
Probably 1t a nothing to do with
the matter, but it Is a fact coincident
with the great popular uprising of
Hitchcock and Reed against the ad-
ministratton last year that Mr.. Reed
wanted to have appointed as postmas-
ter of st. Louis a gentleman with the
poetical name of Colin Selph. The
president, hearing that Mr.. Selph was
more famous for. political experiences
than for knowledge, OF the postal needs
Of st. Louis, had other views. n Mr.
Reed at the same time discovered that
there were some things in the presid-
ent's tariff policy he could not con
scientiously support The president
yielded and Mr.. Reed found that the
tariff bill was not so bad after all, and
voted for it. He >then informed the
president that he had another patriot
who was just the man for postmaster
OF Kansas City. The president could
not see this man, either, and Mr.. Reed
simultaneously learned that the cur
Tency bill was an Infamous measure.
Mr.. Hitchcock .entertains the same
affection for Mr.. Bryan that the devil
does for holy water. They both live
in Nebraska, where Mr.. Bryan's Gym
ical views concerning the place which
Mr.. Hitchcock fills in the scheme of
things has materially interfered with
that gentleman's political ambitions.
When Mr.. Wilson appointed Mr.. Bryan
secretary Of state Mr. Hitchcock per-
ceived that h downfall of t~herrepub-
lie was at hand; but when Mr.. Wilson
added insult to injury by giving Mr..
Bryan the Nebraska patronage to the
exclusion OF a much purer patriot liv-
ing in Omaha and sitting In the sen
ate, Mr.. Hitchcock saw that the end Of
the world was-imminent. In his news
paper, the Omaha World-Herald. Mr..
Hitchcock daily prints affecting adjur-
atlons. to the Nebraska democrats to
stop knitting eac other, and get togeth-
er. to sink their differences and front
the common foe. In Washington Mr..
Hitchcock cannot conscientiously fol-
low the policy he recommends In Ne
braska. because 1t Is his paramount
duty to avert the cataclysm which will
follow If Mr.. Bryan continues to get all
b plums. ~

LATE LOCALS

A ten-pound baby girl came this
morning to help DR.. kacheImacheT
spend circus day. Mrs. KaChelmacher
is getting along nicely.
An old-fashioned touring car with
the door in the back attracted atten-
ton on the streets today. Old resi-
dents stated 1t must be nearly sever
years old, while other estimated it to
be at least eight years old. Contrast
ed with our modern touring cars it
looked very much like a relic.
Tomorrow will be market day under
the new pan. AS before, the early
housewife gets the best there is.
Fargo's weed gang will look like a
real, buStling army if business keeps
up like it started out today. Early
this morning the first batch Of un-
desirables were rounded up and taken
to the police station, and at regular
intervals through the day they have
been brought in in job lots. Many of
them are alleged harvest hands look
ing for work. while many others are
known to be circus followers with I'M
savory regulations. After Judge Mil
Ter geths through with them, there
will be plenty of help to harvest the
weed crop.

Evening Grain Letter.

Minneapolis, July 29.-Wheat: The
market today was less hysterical al
though it was full of uncertainty
throughout the entire session. AS has
been the rule the past few days, official
news from war Centers was hard to
get. but the stock market was not SO
weak and this was taken by the trade
to indicate a more cheerful tone. All
domestic news has been ignored and
the foreign trouble will continue to
occupy the center of the stage for some
time to come. If this trouble is con-
fined to Servia and Austria the market
will have a further break, but should
the other big power become involved
a rapid advance will be the result At
the close tonight the trade is more
evening than 1t has been for several
days. The bulk Of them are inclined to
remain that way until the market be-
more stable.

wheat also applies to corn and oats, al
though the Legitimate position of these
two commodities is very strong.
