CHIEF FLYNN'S FIRE ESCAPE

William Flynn. the secret service
chief, used to have ambitions to be
an inventor. His taste ran toward
getting up a new-fangled fire escape
that would fold up when not in use
and not seriously mar the appearance
of a building. He felt that If he could
Just do something to save few dis
tracted persons caught in burning
buildings he would not have lived in

Flynn thought and thought about the

that II was thoroughly practical. All
that remained to be done was to have

One afternoon he was strolling
across Brooklyn bridge on his way
to look at a piece of property he was
going to buy when the money began
to pour In from the new fire escape

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR EWES
Circular Issued by Missouri Expert.
nent Station Gives Results OBJ
tained With Rye and Grain.

The feeding Of ewes sucking lambs
is a factor which materially affects
the profit derived from the produc-
ton of spring lambs. A circular just
issued by the agricultural experiment
station at the University of Missouri
reports the work done with ewes
sucking lambs, fed on rye and blue
grass pastures. Ewes were placed in
four lots. In one lot ewes received
grain on rye pasture. Those in an
other lot received only rye pasture.
In third lot the ewes were fed grain
on blue grass pasture, while those in
lot four received only blue grass pas
ture.
The grain for both ewes and lambs
consisted Of equal parts Of crushed
corn, oats, bran and rape. The re-
suits show that the feeding of grain
to ewes on rye and blue grass pasture
was not profitable, If the ewes were
to be kept. If the ewes were to be
marketed with the lambs, the feeding
Of grain would have been profitable,
because the ewes which did not re-
ceive grain became very thin and
were not in condition to sell on the
market, while those receiving grain
maintained about the same condition
of flesh throughout the experiment.
There was little difference in the
efficiency Of rye and blue grass pas
lures for ewes sucking lambs. In
cases where grain was fed, the ewes
on blue grass had decidedly the ad-
vantage, while in the other two lots
in which no grain was fed, the rye
had the advantage. The difference in
each case was small. Rye will come
little earlier in the spring than blue
grass, but will not afford as good a
pasture in June as blue grass, because
the rye heads and the sheep do not
like coarse. woody stems.

HAD HEARD ROGERS BEFORE

Representative John Jacob Rogers
of Massachusetts is young man,
Harvard graduate, and really began
his congressional career while half
back at college. It happened that
Hamlin, who was assistant secretary
of the treasury under Cleveland. came
to Harvard to give lectures in po-
litical and governmental matters, and
among his most interested pupils was
young Rogers.
The study proved so fascinating
that Rogers determined to enter pub
lie life, and did so, reaching congress
to serve his first term March 4, 1912.
When making his canvass Of his dis
trict he was obliged frequently to
speak, an obligation which is very
distasteful to him.
At one place he rose, and. going to
the front of the platform, said in an
ordinary voice. with an assumption Of
humility, which was intended to
charm the hearers:
Il am not going to make any
speech tonight" One tall individual
aloud, remarked:
Il knows you amt er going to n

SAFE AND SURE FOR HORSES
Barbados Aloes, Four to Seven
DRAINS, Makes Good Purgatlve--
Castor OIL Is Uncertain.

In preparing purge dose for a
horse the medicine that Is safest and
surest is aloes; and only Barbados
aloes should be used, not the Cape
alces. A dose will generally vary from
four to seven drains. Linseed oil
is a safe purgative, but it is uncer-
tain. The dose varies from pound to
a pound and half.
Castor oil Is both uncertain and I'M
safe as a horse remedy, though It is
fine for man. Croton in the form Of a
meal. made into a ball with linseed
meal. is a good purge. Doses vary
from q scruple to halfa dram.

A wide head and muzzle, which

Short legs, heavy hindquarters and

The animal should have straight

the depth of body and short legs.

The reply of the German government
to this note has been published and it Is
not understood from the reply that the
German government is prepared &c
abandon the practice of sinking British
merchant vessels by submarines"
70 what the difference of interpreta-
ton was due has never beene cleared up
but It was suggested at the time that
the British government may have acted
upon newspaper version of the note
published in Great Britain before the
official text arrived representing Ger
many as agreeing to abandon her sub-
marine warfare against neutral and not
belligercnt merchantmen.
Officials here studied the disparity ard
came to the conclusion that Great Britain
meant in her answer to indicate tina:
she wanted Germany not only to give
up attacks on merchantmen of all nation
alitics, but that no ships would be con-
iiscated unless certain of condemnation
as legal prize. The United States
and Great Britain have in the past sane
toned the destruction # prizes only in
cases of military necessity and when pas
sengers and crew were removed to
places of safety.
That compromise might be arranged
whereby the declaration Of London :
provision permitting the destruction OF
bclligeronts' ships carrying cargoes more
than half of which are contraband. was
a suggestion discussed to some extent
to-day.
