 Rev. Joseph Armbrust, evangelist ot the East End revival at Newf1eld ME. church, said: Bridgeport must be cleaned up before God can work in this city.
 '"rhere is too much filth and dirt among the church members in this city for much to be accomplished in religion,'' he continued. A number of trail hitters were reported at last nights meeting. ,
 Dr. Ward Moshier, of Ithaca, N. Y.. created profound thought in a largely attended meeting by his stirring ad- dresss at the Washington Park M. F. church.
 On the subject of revivals, Dr.. Moshier said that the world had come to believe in them. in business, in education, in civic righteousness, but that there was only one way to con- duct a revival and that is in Gods way. There were 8 number of pro- fessions of faith.

HOW HAMMOND

Missile Usually Launched at Distance of Two Miles :
 from Victim

John Hays Hamn1ond, ST., has ad- ded more than any other man to the worlds supply of gold and silver. In other words, the mining engineer, who has beautiful summer estate at Glou- cester, has taken more wealth out of the-earth than any other person living. And in doing this he has had some thrilling adventures. In his series of articles on "Men Who Are Making America" in Leslie's Weekly, B. c. Forbes tells this exciting story of MT. Hammond's experiences among saw ages:
 Hannmond's first professional trip into alien soil proved perilous. He was commissioned in 1882 to pene- trate into Mexico some 258 miles from Guaymas. On landing on the Mex ican west coast from "a sailing boat which mad been chartered to carry mining machinery. Hammond found that the Apache Indians were on the war path and that the long journey to the interior by stage would have to be done under cover of darkness The first night out the drunken driver upset the coach, one man sitting op- posite Mr. Hammond was killed and another so hurt that he died next morning. sa
 Conditions improved sufficiently to warrant Mrs. Hammonds joining her husband. The second day after she arrived at Guaymas, with a young ba- by, a revolution broke out. Ham, mond promptly commandeered a small house, barricaded it and prepar- ed to defend the fort, which was be- sieged by brigands, but he had learned in California to use a gun with the best of them. and the besiegers dis cerninA this departed after a few days. During the long journey to the interior the party came upon village which the Indians had cleaned out completely.
 How near the Indians might be or how soon they might appear on the scene no one could guess. If the Indians found the little American party it meant it's annihilation. Fifty miles of dangerous territory had to be covered Armed to the teeth, Ham mond rode a mile or two ahead. sig mailing to the team. Mrs. Hammond had pistol with which to commit suicide before submitting to capture. However, the destination.

New Haven's Military
 Census Now 57, ,OOO

New Haven, March 21-The mili- tary census in New Haven has yielded so far more than 57,000 names of males over IT years of age. This number of filled in forms has been sent to the state headquarters in Hartford and several hundred are yet to go. Blanks still are being sent in by citizens on their own initiative, or are being turned in by police officer canvassers. The 57.000 include hum dreds of men who will be credited to adjoining towns, men that work here but live outside the city. It is likely that the completion of the census here will show close to 60,00O names.

Happy Eskimos Are Shocked When Told

The Governor of Greenland, in an interview in London, says:
 ''The chief impression the war makes upon the Eskimos is the wick edness of such waste of human life. The Eskimo kills all animals and thinks he has a perfect right to do so, but shrinks from the thought of ta- king human beings life.
 ''He has heard about Britain from the Scotch whalers who used to visit Greenland, and he knows that Brit ain has great many men -of-war. His geograph phical education also has been good enough to give him a fair idea of the position on the map of the diff ferent countries.

 "There are no policemen in Green land.
 "He has no taxes to pay.
 There are no picture palaces or music halls.

 "If paucity of worries makes up an ideal existence, then the Eskimo ought to be ideally happy, for the Dan ish government by it's parental care relieves him of most of the burdens of civilization"

WIND-PROOF STOCK SHELTER
IL Should Be Made Strong Enough to
Withstand Any Wind-set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing a stock shelter in
an open field particular care should
be taken to make it substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
Of a tornado. A little foresight In
this regard may save the loss of valu-
able animals at some later time. To
this end the posts should. be firmly
set, preferably In cement, and the
upper framework should BE snugly
bolted or spiked together.
II the three inclosed sides are COM
posed Of loose boards, set on end at
an angle Of As degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst a
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to blow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to
occur In such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with its top
as well as its sides heavily straw-cov-
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though its sides had
been nailed firmly in place. With its
open side toward the south 1t will
prove weather-proof, warm and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

said Mr.. GatewOod. Charcoal Is best

ut is a common practice TO burn
cObs until the cob is well charred,
and then the fire is smothered and the
hogs are given access to this. Some
people char their cObs in a pit, and
when the fire has gained good head

a piece of sheet metal, and then COW

charcoal can then be used as it is
needed. 1t is advisable to add salt to
the charcoal as it makes it more pal

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH
Salary Of $40 a Week Is Same as In
come at 5 Per Cent on an In
vestment Of $4,000.

What are you worth? Have you
any idea? Did you ever capitalize
your wages and figure it out? This
is the way to ascertain how much
your labor is really worth.
For instance, a man who has saved
$4,000 and invested it at per cent,
receives an annual income of 81, 900
a year, or about $50 a week.
The clerk in the office or the work.
man in the factory who gets $50 a
week, therefore, receives the income
at s per cent on an investment of
$4,000.
He is a $4,000 man, that is, he is
getting as much, week by week, as
the man with $4,000 who depends
solely upon the income from his in
vestments and who does not work for
a living.
The man who earns $40 a week
has about the same income as the in
weston with $4,000 put out at in
terest at 5 per cent.
So labor is capital. 1t has a mar
ket value. 1t can be called a COM
modify because it can be sold by its
owner the same as any other posses
sion he may have.
These are simple facts. The dema-
gogue who breaches unreason and
unrest and who sows the seeds Of dis
content and unhappiness among the
working masses Of the country
should now and then be reminded of
them.

GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
improbable That II Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
IL pays to grind oats or corn for horses,
and which would give best results,
Prof ID. q. Carmichael Of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
ut is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting In cases where the horses
are at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even In instances of this kind
1t Is not at all certain that profit will
always result from this rather expen-
sive operation. Soaking corn that is
exceedingly dry and hard is advisable.
As a general thing it seems that it is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
of good quality, approximately equal
In feeding value per pound for horses.
IF there Is tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
1t would be worth while to devise a
method Of feeding that would render
it impossible for the feed to be eaten
so rapidly. Mixing a small amount of
bran or chaffed hay with the grain
might be of assistance, or the same
result might be accomplished by put
ting large pebbles in the feed box. 1t
Is well to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
is evidence that the feed Is poorly
masticated.

Gently by Constable Barbour Of the
Lille la Crosse detachment Of the
Royal Northwest mounted police,
writes Prince Albert (Sask.) cor
respondent to the Minneapolis Jour
nal.
Barbour, who is just in from his
post, tells story of a lonely trapper
in the far North, Sigvald Nilsson,
whose only companion since October
26 had been the body Of Ole Heiberg,
his partner. His shack was at Island
lake, $50 miles north of the police
district, and far from any human
habitation.
The trapper's partner died Of
pneumonia. Nilsson feared he would
be accused of murder, so he kept the
body until a member of the mounted
police could come. Constable Bar
bour reached the shack December IS.
His examination showed the man
died naturally, and he gave permits
sion to inter the frozen body.
: Then the problem of burial was
faced. There were no tools with
which to break the rock-hard soil I'M
til the spring thaw. The tempera-
ture was 40 degrees below zero, and
besides the constable's supplies
would not allow him to stay long.
He told Nilsson to make a great pile
of wood and keep it burning until
the ground thawed, then to dig
grave and mark the spot with a
cross, according to the custom of the
wilderness.
