Flanders.

The Flemish form OF the name Elan
derS Is Vlaenderen, and the word
means the country of the Flemish. The
Flanders of the middle ages was self
governing countship, that is, II c0un-
try whose ruler was Il count, but at
times 1t was under the suZerainty of
France, and sometimes under that of
the empire which then included the
Germanic states. The Flanders of the
middle ages Is today divided between
France and Belgium, the greater part
being included in Belgium, and two
provinces in the western part of the
latter country are known as East and
West Flanders, the latter fronting on
the North sea. Practically all the
country that formed the Flanders of
the middle ages Is low and level;
hence it was commonly called the Low
Country. Ypres and the British lines

considerable distance into northern
France, IRE in country that formed
part Of old Flanders.

COMPLIMENT OF HIGH ORDER
Happy the Woman Who Could Truth.
fully Be Described as "Traii-
inc tho Beatitudes."

''There comes Mrs. MacGregor-
trailing the beatltudes,'" said young
man admiringly as beautiful elderly
woman came out of the hotel door and
stopped to speak to a group on the
steps.
The girl beside him turned in sur
prise. "What funny thing to say!"
she cried with laugh. "What do
you mean by such a speech as that?"
"Just look, and I'm sure you'll see"
he answered softly. swatch her face
as she talks to those people"
For moment the girl was silent,
studying the face that was turned
toward her as Mrs. MacGregor sank
into a proffered chair.
Il do understand she whispered at
length, turning back to her companion.
BLESSED are the pure in heart That's
there isn't it?"
"Yes," answered the man quietly
"and all the rest Of them, too. looked
them up at once when heard someone
say that about her, and they're all
there, and In her life, toO-the mercy
and the peacemaking and the hunger
and thirst after Righteousness most of
all. She's the mother Of friend Of
mine, so know her right WELL"
"What lovely thing TO say about
woman" unused the girl thoughtfully.
II thought it was funny at first trail

COARSE JOKE IS PUNISHED
Would Be Wit Deserved Fright Which
Made Him Soc Things In a
Different Light.

Some years ago 1t was the custom
In France to conduct condemned Grim
inals through gaping crowds OF idle
spectators to the public guillotine.
On one such occasion, the unfor-
tunate, seated upon his coffin In the
cart, heard a would-be wit In the
crowd remark to companion:
"Well, I'll bet that fellow doesn't
feel much like laughing"
The coarse attempt at Joke stung
the prisoner, and when he arrived at
the scaffold, he asked that the proceed
ings might be stayed a moment as he
had a confession to make.
"Although I denied 1t at my trial, I
had accOmplices In the crime for
which l have been sentenced; and
there" pointing to the joker. Stands
one of them !"
Great excitement ensued.
The person designated was seized by
the gendarmes with no gentle hands
and placed on the scaffold beside his
accuser.
Such a fearful spectacle Of abject
terror as the Joker presented was
never before witnessed in that som.
Der locality.
After enjoying his helpless fright
for few moments, the fated convict
said to the official in charge:
"He tried to make sport Of my suf-
ferings, but the man is innocent. And
as soon as he seemed to be sure that 1t
was no laughing matter for me to be
here, l was curious to see how much
such funny fellow would laugh un'
der similar circumstances himself"

TWAIN MADE PAPER FAMOUS
Virginia City Enterprise, Now Defunct,
Printed Some Of the Best Work
Of Great Humorist.

To only the old or middle-aged vii
there. be anything significant In the
announcement that the Enterprise
newspaper at Virginia City. Nevada.
has passed away. The Enterprise was
not potent as molder Of public Opin-
ion. Its circulation was not notable,
and outside Of the state few people
knew Of Its existence. But 1t had once
one member of the staff who made 1t
famous in his day and who himself
later became famous.
1t was the Enterprise on which Mark
terward became household word.
He had contributed articles from min.
ing camps under the pseudonym of
"Josh," but when he Joined the staff
he adopted as sobriquet mark
Twain" "reminiscences Of his pilot
days. AS new STRIKES" were made the
newspaper Office was moved first from
Genoa to Carson and later to Virginia
City.
One can visualize Mark in the En-
terprise Office of the eos, his long legs
twisted about the tilted chair, the old
hat on his great brush of hair, writ
ing some such matter as "Mr. Bloke's
Item" swapping stories with Dan de
guile, or listening to the quaint YER
nacular of visiting miners or prospec'
tors. 1t was there he began the first
of those experiences which were to en-
rich the literature of the country and
to teach a tired world how to laugh.
The Enterprise is gone, but SO are the
Oil City Derrick, the Laramie Boom
erang, and the Danbury News, at least
no one now hears of them since the
humorists who made the regulations
Of those journals have passed away.

FEEDING PUMPKINS TO HOGS
Vegetable Should Form but Small Part
OF Ration to Get Best Results
Cut In Pieces.

Pumpkins should form but small
part of the hogs ration to get best
results. The method of feeding pump
kns is very simple. Many feeders
throw them on the ground in order to
break them open. This may be all
that is necessary In the case Of small
specimens, but big pumpkins should
be cut into small pieces.

(From the Missouri Agricultural Expert

The methods of fighting both Round
and Flat-Headed Borers are much
the same. The most important means
of combating the borer Is by going
through the orchard in late August or
early October and digging away the
soil around the base Of the tree and
finding the larva burrows and pushing
a sharpened wire in them until the
larva Is reached and killed. II the

placed II pounds Of corn In every 100
pounds gain made by the hogs. Rape
replaced Ga pounds and soy beans 81
pounds. All these hogs received corn
in addition to pasture. They made
cheaper gains than those fed only
grain in dry lot.
Rape makes an abundant, palatable
growth and has long grazing season.
An acre will usually supply green feed
for three months for 80 hogs weigh
ing about 100 pounds.
Soy beans may be grazed from July
/ for a period of about ten weeks
Since blue grass is susceptible to

DRAMA IF RUSSIA |S YELLOW TICKET

A story of Russia. with vivid DOT trayal of the inhuman police methods of that country forms the basis of "The
 Yellow Ticket" presented by the Ed. Redmond company at the E.lkS theater this week. The story has had wide vogue among booklovers, but not until
 last year was it adapted for the stage.
 In the dramatic construction the play
 wright has lost none of the vital points of the story, but has brought out with
 telling effect the dark crime of Rus
 sa and it's yellow ticket rule. with
 out having the play border on the sen
 sational-the scene, especially in the
 second act, when the baron attempts to
 force the unfortunate JeWess into the life that the card calls for, being deli
 cate but clevery handled and most
 telling dramatic situation.
 Marya Varenka, a young Jewess, is desirous of visiting her father in St.
 Petersburg, but the police laws forbid
 the entrance of her race inside the city, so in resperation she applies for the yellow ticket" the badge of the white slave, but one that permits the bearer, regardless of race, to travel in any part of the czar's dominions The situa- tions that arise from the effront of the interruptions police and the successful efforts of the young newspaper chap to save the girl makes play that con- tains a thrill in every line. Audell Higgins scores in the role of Marya Narenka Roscoe karns, as Julian Rolfe, depicts the breezy American in a most satisfying manner, and with Hugh Metcalfe in the role of the baron, they share honOrs with the star. The remaining members are all well cast. and the play is well staged.
 "The Yellow Ticket will not be pre- sented this evening owing to a lecture | in the Elks theater, but will be staged again for the rest of the week com mencing with tomorroW's matinee.
