THE UNATTAINABLE

Among theatrical people along
Broadway, Bessie Gale had become
known az "the unattainable" ant
that was one of the principal rea
sons why the 'caddish and wealth,
Morton determined to attain her
The fact that Bessie repulsed his ad
vances, made Morton all the more
determined to win.
:. When Bessie started across the
continent as a member of travel
/ ing opera company, Morton dropped
his club life, abandoned New York
and travelled with the show. But
Bessie was still "the unattainable'
and Morton persisted.
Entering the foothills Of the
majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains
one afternoon, Bessie. watched the
glorious prospect from the car win
dow with the admiration every
traveller experiences when they first
behold the wondrous sight. The su-
preme beauties of rugged nature ap-
pealed to a side of Bessie's nature
that had never before been stirred.
How / would love to live in this
wild, beautifully country, said the
girl to Morton, who continually in
sisted upon forcing his attentions.
You'd soon grow weary of it all
and want the lights Of Broadway,
was the cad's reply.
This picture will be shown at the
'Evangeline theatre tonight.

OLDEST SHIP ON EXHIBIT
AT NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, La, Jan. 10TH
Mardi Gras visitors to New Orleans
will have an opportunity to see the
oldest ship in the world. The vessel
in question, which arrived here re-
Gently for stay of several weeks,
is the British ship Success" which
was employed for many years as a
convict carrier between England
and Australia.
The "Success" was built in India
in 1890, and was of course con-
structed of wood, the material being
solid Burmah teak. She was old
when the first steel ships were built.
The craft is of especial interest at
the present time, when wooden ship
construction is receiving so much
attention, and well demonstrates the
claim that the solid wood is the
most lasting material for ship
building.

contest being conducted by this
paper. The contest has gotten past
the stage where it is possible for
prizes to be won without work. The
only thing that counts for votes
now is subscriptions and the sale of
fountain pens, and subscription

Soan an Antisaptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases
In modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment OF conditions not to med
zeal science, but to the increased use
Of soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with a
clean house and clean person no one
need have much fear Of infection. A
writer In the New York Medical Rec
ord says: Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic and to be efficaclous must
produce lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are In
capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by per cent solution I'm a
short time. More than half the total
number will die In one minute. The
thorough use OF pure potash soap Is
not only a mechanical method Of cleans
ing, but is an active factor In cutting
down germ life"

What Would You Do?

People cannot realize the true condi-
ton Of the print paper situation. They
cannot understand that no other article
of general consumption has increased
80 in price. In Detroit the schools
have begun the systematic gathering
of old paper, and in many other cities
an united effort is being put forth to
save the waste.
The American Press Association has
even suggested that every paper in
America suspend for two weeks in an
effort to conserve the supply of paper.
Think what that would mean-not a
paper of any kind for two weeks. We
don't know whether or not the sugges-
ton will be carried out but 1t would
bring home to every citizen the real
danger of this country.

ROUGHING BEEF CATTLE
THROUGH THE WINTER

Very few cattle are being full fed
this season. Those having cattle are
interested In wintering them on rough
feeds In the best manner possible, says
the Kansas Farmer.
"Roughing cattle" may mean either
one Of two methods of handling them.
It may mean carrying cattle through
the winter without shelter and allow
ing them to gain their livelihood from
straw stacks and whatever they can
pick up about the farm or It may mean
caring for them In practical, econom-
zeal and profitable manner without the
use Of grain. Where cattle are rough
cd through the winter by the first
method there will usually be some
losses, and the stock will come out In
the spring weighing less than they did
IN the fall. 1t will take them half the
summer to get in a good, healthy,
thrifty condition again. This method
Of roughing cattle through the winter
never has proved profitable and never
will.
The second method implies the use
Of cheap shelter, which may be either
q straw shed or board shed open on
one end; also the use Of suitable rough

The Arabic Language.

Though the Arabs number less than
the population Of London, their Ian.
guage is one of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world. for II is
the language of the Koran Seventy
millions Of people In Asia and north
Africa speak some form of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something OF the language
from the Koran, which, In the original,
is textbook in the day schools OF the
Mohammedans from Turkey 10 Afghan
istan> and New Guinea. Nor is Arabic
unworthy Of this extensive use. Renan,
after expressing his surprise that such
q language should spring from the des-
ert regions Of Arabia aud reach perfec-
ton in nomadic camps. declares that it
surpasses all its sister Semitic IAN
guages in richness OF vocabulary, deli
cacy of expression and the logic of
its grammatical construction.-LOnd

feeds, such as corn or Kafir fodder,
silage, cane hay and oat or wheat
straw. In most localities this winter
there is an abundance Of rough feed Of
one or more Of the above varieties.
For roughing cattle through the win
ter the best possible combination Of
feeds Is silage and alfalfa hay. Many
have not as yet accepted this fact.
There are too few farms where silage
and alfalfa hay both are to be found
In sufficient quantity to winter any
large number Of cattle. A fairly roomy
shed that Is kept well bedded with
straw, a suitable water supply and an
abundance of alfalfa hay and silage
make ideal conditions for wintering q
bunch Of yearling or two-year-old steers
or heifers or a bunch Of breeding beef
cows. On farms where the silo has not
yet been built and the alfalfa field has
not been started the fodder and other
rough feeds can be used, but along
with these feeds pound a day OF cot.
tonseed cake or oilmeal should be fed
to give the best results.
In order that beef herd may prove
profitable It is necessary that all the
young cattle shall gain a little in win
ter and come out in the spring In q
good, thrifty condition, so that they will
begin to gain at once when put on pas
ture. To accomplish this and get the
desired result the young cattle espe
cially must have suitable shelter
though 1t need not be expensive. and
they must be regularly and carefully
watered and regularly fed an abun
dance Of feed even though the feed Is
not Of the best quality.
