Mr.. BARRIE IN THE CHAIR
How Popular Scotch Author Served
as Chairman of Burns
Celebration.

There is only one recorded instance
of Sir ]. NJ. Barries acting as chair
man of a public meeting. In the Cen
tury Magazine John d. Williams has
recently told the story to the Ameri-
Burns celebration.
Barrie took the chair as presiding
officer and then kept to it firmly.
Throughout the entire proceedings he
did not utter a single word, but re-
mained as If glued to the horribly con-
spicuous chair, loathing his predica-
ment, but inwardly amused at the ex-
pressions on the faces of all about
him. which made dismally clear the
fact that he was failure as a presid-
ing officer.
When the meeting was almost half
finished Barrie took advantage of a
talkative group IN front of him and
quietly stole away before anyone had
chance to miss him. But the next
week a well-known Saturday review
printed a satirical article called "Mr.
Barrie in the Chair" The thing was
simply whitening in its ironicaI ac-
count of the dumb presiding officer
who eventually fled, leaving a meeting
to preside over itself. The greatest
regret was naturally expressed by
those who had persuaded Barrie to
come to the Burns celebration, and
among his friends tremendous indig-
nation was felt and vented. But some
day they will know, If they have not
already found out, that the article
was written by Barrie himself!

LUCKY-,ST0NE SALE
 MAIL ORDER FRAUD

business of selling lucky stones" through the mails. which has netted it's promoters about s44,000 annually In recent years, is denounced as q scheme for obtaining money by fraudulent representations in a fraud order just issued by the postmaster general. The order is directed against Captain Rand, Walter I. Rand and w. l. Rand, PIC Fremont Street Boston, Mass"
 Rand bought the stones by the thousand at from two and one half to fifteen cents apiece and retailed them at one dollar each. A memo randum to the postmaster general recommending the issuance of the fraud order, prepared by w. II. La mar solicitor for the postoffice de- partnent tells how Rand appealed to large mailing list in booklets and circular letters, and says:
 The representations which induce the purchase of said stones are to the effect that they are rare, hard to procure and of great value and that they possess mysterious powers by means of which lost iewelry is restored, true and false friends p0in- ted out, the sick are healed, the poor come into possession of wealth. the unemployed secure work. hard luck is banished. and hundreds of secrets are revealed
 These representations are made With the intent and for the purpose Of influencing ignorant and s11per stltlous persons to make remittances in payment for said stones. Rand pretends that these stones can be secured only in limited numbers and asserts that he has only a few of them on hand for sale and urges that remittances be made promptly in order that the remitter's order may be filled. These representations are palpably false and are known by him to be false and are made for the pl1r- pose of selling at a high priceea very cheap article
 The evidence shows that these stones are found in abundance and that he purchases them from dealers in New York. London. Columbo and Ceylon by the thousand at from two and one-half to fifteen cents apiece and that said stones are often defec- tive in that they show internal seams upon the outer surface which how ever, Rand attempts to induce per sons to believe are not flaws but are peculiar marks of these so-calIed lucky stones which he calls magic mirrors and states that because thereof those favored mortals who are gifted with the illumination of the astral light can by the aid of 'llls pecuIlarity read on the surfaces oA sald stones the reflections of the past anu the promises of the future
 During the last fifteen years Rand, through the operation of this scheme has taken from the people more than s300.0OO. Tn recent years the business done by him has amoun- ted to about s44,O00 annually. This vast volume of illegitimate business

It is also stipulated what kind of material these things may be made of, the coarser being substituted for the finer heretofore in use. Also the use of cotton is to be enlarged somewhat so that the list of textiles may be accordingly circumscribed.

Confiscation will be resorted to by the government only in case the breweries fail to set aside certain percentage of their normal production-2O per cent-for the use of the army.

You cannot expect a COW to
keep up good milk flow with
out plenty of feed Of the right
kind. Now that pastures are
furnishing less feed, silage should
be given to keep conditions as
nearly as possible the same as
those found on spring and sum-
mer pastures. 1t is easy to forget
that the cows feed is being short
ened, but if the best returns are
to be secured the milk flow must
be kept as high as possible for ten
or eleven months Of the year. If
it once goes down it is very hard
or impossible to raise it again be-
fore the next freshening.
When the pastures dry up
while the corn is still green. it
furnishes the cheapest and most
efficient addition to grass, but
-silage, grain and hay are now the
main things to, rely on. The
amount given should be gradual
ly increased as the pasture fur
nishes less and less feed.
Less feed will be required and
better results secured if a good
barn is used. While the fat steer
is so well protected by thick
layer of fat that he does not feel
the cold SO keenly, even he re-
quires more food if not sheltered.
The dairy COW will not do her
best work when exposed to the
Cold even though given plenty Of
feed. 1t is cheaper and more eff
fective to keep her warm by
means of a barn than by means Of
corn.
