did you receive any word from
the President?" he asked. ...
The naval officer some days previ-
ously had requested General .Shafter
to solicit message from the Presi-
dent disclaiming any idea Of holding
and annexing Cuba after the close Of
hostilities. 1t was well understood
by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why
Holton proffered the request.
Now, in reply to his question, the
aide dived into his tent and emerged
bearing a cable dispatch sent from
Washington via Key West and Guam
tanamo. 1t was addressed to General
Shafter and read as follows:
"The President states herewith that
hostilities against the Kingdom Of
Spain were instituted with the sole
purpose OF liberating Cuba from Span
ish rule. It is our wish that. thus
free, she shall take her proud place
among the republics of America"
"Good!" exclaimed Holton, after
reading the message. Nothing am
biguous about that, is there?"

1T would be invaluable" responded
Holton eagerly. May l take it,"
For reply, the tall, weather-beaten
army officer handed Holton the cable

At sunset he proceeded to- the spot

care for my sister, then?"
Holton flashed back a quick glance
at the boy.
Care for her! Look here, young
ster, care for her so much that If
she doesn't look out I'm going to
be your brother some day."
A laugh broke from La Tossa.

Holton took both his shoulders in

The other wriggled away and placed
his hand ruefully upon his shoulder.
You needn't crush my bones in,"
he grumbled. "Of course it's true"
Holton leaped upon the pony.

tone was as ardent as a cavaliers.

'In this breach of promise suit we

About Her ChiId's Recovery
Is Entirely Reliable.

Palmyra, Pa.-"Three years ago my
little girl had black measles which left
her with chronic cough and so awfully
thin you could count all her ribs, and she
coughed so much she had no appetite.
Nothing we gave her seemed to
help her at all until one day Mrs. Neibert
told me how much good Vinol had done
her little girl, so decided to try it for
my little one, and it has done her so much
good she is hungry all the time, her
cough is gone, she is stouter and more
healthy in color and this is the first win
ter she has been able to play out in the
snow, coasting and snow-balling without
any i'll effects. Mrs. ALFRED SLACK,
Palmyra, Pa.
We know Vinol will build up your
little ones and make them healthy,
strong and robust, therefore we ask
parents of every frail and sickly child
in this vicinity to try bottle of Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron tonic
without oil.
If we can induce you to try a bottle
of Vinol as body-builder and strength
creator for your child, and you do not
find it is all we claim, we will return
your money on demand.

Soybeans are rapidly gaining in
favor among the farmers of Missouri
and in many parts of the state are
replacing cowpeas as a seed crop.
The fact that they can be seeded
earlier, are easier harvested. easier
thrashed and usually outyield the
cowpeas explains in part, this gain
in favor. Many farmers are now
securing seed of soybeahs aud
several varieties are to- be recon-
mended but the choice of variety
should be governed by the purpose
of the crop. When grown for hay
such varieties as Ebony or Black
Beauty; Medium Yellow or Mongol
Picking or Sable and Austin will be
found among the best. Where seed
is wanted this list might be enlarged
to include Mikado and Halberlandt

Don't stop feeding your cows when

The Care of New Hatched Chicken S
BY H. L. Kempster.


Millions of chickens are lost each
year because of improper methods
of feeding. Some of this loss can
be prevented by using the plan of
raising chicks which has been work
ed out by the Poultry Department
of the University of Missouri.
Chicks should not be fed until
they are forty-eieht hours old and
then should receive nothing but
fine. white grit. This stimulates
the digestive organs and prepares
them for food which is to follow
The next feeding should be a mix
ture of 8 parts finely cracked wheat
8 parts finely cracked corn and 1
part steel oats, fed dry.
Some of this mixture or CONNER
cial chick food should be IN the lit
ter at all times so as to encourage
the chicks to exercise.
Twice daily the chicks should re-
ceive rolled oats or a mixture of 8
parts corn bread and part boiled
egg. This mixture may be fed dry
or it may be slightly dampened
with sour milk. Young chicks should
always have access to clean drink
ing water or if possible some skim
| milk or buttermilk. These should
be kept in a vessel so constructed
that chicks cannot get themselves
wet.
