]. Sidney Smith, president OF the
United States Live Stock company

had personally helped to capture, to
markets in Omaha, St. Louis and Nor
folk. For the first shipment he re-
ceived about $50 head, he said, and
for the second. which was auctioned
off at private sale in St. Louis, he
averaged about SIS each.
He became connected with the sell
ing OF wild horses when he was in the
stock business at Newport, Neb., he
declared. There he heard OF the
Coconino reserve animals and on in
vestigating bought about 81 900 worth
OF brands. He was told he testified,
that the brands he purchased were OF

the Road Commission to remedy:
"The State Road Commissions of
the country that are generally under
control of the automobile clubs,
have made the State roads so
smooth that the autos can't travel
them without skidding. The effort
is not to reduce the surface of the
road to safe travel basis but to
produce a tire that will not skid
and leave the roads as now, not
traversable, except by the auto and
by them not without danger to the
lives of the occupants and all other
travellers that are in the way of the
skidding machine,
"Tl e Legislature of Maryland is

sNAILS AS FOOD.
They Are as Nourishing as calfs Foot
Jelly and Easy to Raise.


They Are as Nourishing as calFs Foot
Jelly and Easy to Raise.
"All snails are edible and nutritious"
says Canon Horsley in a book on Brit
ish land and fresh water mollusks.
He goes on to say that even the COM
mon or garden snail, though insipid, IS
as nourishing as calf's foot jelly.
There is a large white shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is common
ly eaten by connoisseurs in the south
Of England, while all over France, 1t
ally and Spain several species are used
as food. In France there are many
snail farms which yield good profit
to their owners. In the French ana
Italian quarters Of New York snails
may be brought either alive or cooked,
and at most Of the French restaurants
they are served, "escargots farcis' be-
ing the most usual form Of the dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large guam
titles. They need lime for making
their shells, but they do not have to
be fed, as they can find their own food,
which is exclusively the leaves Of
many plants. They are most delicious
when properly prepared and cooked
and, as Canon Horsley says, as nour-
ishing as calf's foot jelly.

From the Emporia (Kan.) GaZet

From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
 Charles Johnson died in Emporia, and there passed a town character He was the average poor man-neither rich nor poor, distinguished. nor among his friends unknown, kindly, faithful, hard-work- ing man. For 32 years he had worked for one firm in this town. In that time he had driven Peters Hardware companys delivery wagon and had scarcely missed day in third of g. century. It is the man who delivers the goods for firm who has to explain the mistakes of the salesmen, take the edge off the tempers of customers, and represent the house.
 This Charles Johnson did with the diplo- macy of a prince. Also he had another duty that would have tried another mans soul, it was his work to put up the stoves soul: it was his work to put up the stoves erection to fine art He could take out an old stove and put up new one with out getting a speck of dust on carpet, or scratching a hardwood floor More over, he could get his work done in a house without noise and chatter. So all over town housewives knew him, and his fine art drew many a customer to his store. He made place in the world It was not high place, but he filled it with dignity. He never drew much in the way of wages; but they were steady wages His $50 or $60 or s7O month kept right on, year in and year out, and he and Mrs. Johnson reared a fine family that is highly esteemed and generally respect ed in this community. No man did his work in the world better than Charles Johnson.
