Live Stock Associations Decide to
Take No Steps to Lower Stand
ard Now in Vogue.

After two years Of practical opera
ton of the tuberculosis-free accredited
herd plan, joint committee repre-
senting the pure-bred cattle associa-
tons and the United States Live Stock
Sanitary association has unanimously
decided that no steps should be taken
to lower the high STANDARD Of the
present plan.
It was decided that no herd should
be accredited If it contains tuber-
cular animal. male or female. It
was agreed by the joint committee, to
show that owners are exerting an ef-
fort to exterminate the disease, that
q supplementary list be made to the
accredited herd list to contain the
names of the owners of pure-bred
herds that are free from tuberculosis
on two annual tests but, in which the
herd bull reacts. Such a herd will
not receive an accredited herd GER
tiflcate. The reacting bull may be used
under certain conditions.
The accredited herd plan is admins
tered by the bureau of animal indus
try, United States department of ag-
riculture, in cooperation with the
states.

Considerable peitInu.

While motoring with party Of
friends In the far West our car crashed
through a wooden railing on a high
embankment along drive near the
Oregon river.
The car ran 30 feet down the bank
and landed In the midst of a picnic
party which was just beginning to
have feast. The big car dashed
among the plcnickers. made them
scatter. and demolished the spread.
We congratulated ourselves that the
car had not turned over and tried to
explain matters, offering to pay for all
damages. but the picnickers, none OF
whom understood English, assaulted
MS with the mangled remains Of their
banquet.
We hurried away and found our.
selves considerably dlsigured by the
pies. cakes, pickles. Jelly. chicken and
broken dishes with which we were
pelted.-Exchange.

That If his spending pocket happens
TO get empty he would not be alto

HISTORIC RELICS IN BOSTON
Painters Arms and the Boston Stone
Have Been Preserved In Building
Erected In 1862.

Two mementoes Of the colonial peri
cd, the Painters arms and the Boston
stone, are set in the wall Of an old
building in the north end Of Boston,
a historic quarter which has changed
little with passing time. This build
ing, erected in 1852 by Thomas Mar
shall, became, in 1892, the property Of
Thomas Child. the painter, who erect
ed his arms over the doorway nine
years later, testifying to partnership
In business between the painter and
his wife, for the initials which EN-
belllsh the carved board, &C. T. K,
are interpreted as standing for Child,
Thomas and Katherine" The date,
1901. appears finely craven in wood,
and showing the striking design which
was conceived to advertise the talents
Of the painter stainer," as Child was
referred to. The Painters arms has
an artistic as well as historic value.
Thomas Child and his wife were
also responsible for the Boston stone.
The round grinding stone was found
in 1887 by Joseph Howe, who bought
the site of the colonial paint shop,
while he was cleaning up the yard.
The stone was covered with paint, and
little inquiry proved conclusively
that 1t was the means Thomas Child
has used to grind his colors.
James Davis, who bought the prop.
erty In 1885, set both the Boston stone
and the Painters arms into the wall
of his new building. His heirs have
the same regard for these relics that
he had, and have seen to 1t that both
stone and sign are protected as sym
bols Of the industry which lourished
on the site 200 years ago.

STEERS FATTENED ON sILAGE
Interesting Feeding Test With sheIIed
Corn Conducted at Missouri
Station.

At the Missouri experiment station
one lot Of steers was fed Is pounds of
shelled corn per head per day along
with 2.5 pounds Of linseed oil cake.
30 pounds of clover hay, and 25
pounds of corn silage. Another lot re-
ceived no shelled corn but little
more Of the oil cake and clover and 40
pounds Of silage per head per day.
The results were that the lot that re-
ceived shelled corn and half feed of
silage charged $15.95 for 100 pounds
gain, while the other lot charged only
$1,000. The cost Of feed per steer on
shelled corn was $5O.23. while with the
other lot 1t was SPLIT.

passed that girl just little while ago
on corner a few blocks from here"
He went away, muttering.
"The real funny part Of II Is, though,
that she struck my eye and nearly
ran over an ice wagon, because l was
looking back at her."
Fred was unable to find Hilda among
the guests assembled at the church.
He asked the church ushers and they
stated positively that Miss Caruthers
had not arrived. So he got her ad-
dress and went to her home.
Hiida had entered her room and
was on the point Of taking of the mud
ruined dress when her aunt called her.
Eiilda's parents had died within year
OF each other shortly after Anne
moved from the city, and she was liv-
Ing with her uncle and arnt.
There's a young man here to see
you on important business" said the
aunt. HE wants you for bridesmaid
at the wedding. He's tina brother Of
the groom"
Htlda began to unfasten her dress.
II won't change" she decided sud-
denly. "I'll just show them that did
have a good dress, even II It is ruined
now"
When she saw Fred her feeling Of
anger returned, but the smile with
which he greeted her made 1t lmpos-
sible for her to harbor her wrath. So
she smiled In return and said:
you're to blame for this mud. Your
old car did 1t, and that's the reason
I'm not at the church now"
"Never mind" he returned. "Come
along in the car, and I'll apologize on
the way. They'll fix you up at the
hotel"
But Fred did not take the shortest
way. Instead he drove several blocks
in the wrong direction. The truth Is
he was captivated by Hilda-well. you
can't get around It. There Is such a
thing as love at first sight, and mud
can't alter it.
At the hotel the bridal party waited
in vain for the bridesmaid and best
man.
Mrs. MOOrehouse was all aflutter
and was for telephoning the police and
the hospitals to ascertain whether
there had been an accident. The moth
err of the prospective groom was little
more composed, while the two fathers
held an excited conference and the
young man who was to become a hus-
band smoked black cigars and dug
his finger nails into the palms Of his
hands.
For half an hour the bridal party
waited. and the assemblage at the
church grew restless, and some Of II
left. The tension at the hotel ended
when Anne was called to the phone.
'This is Fred" said the voice on
the wire. "Say, I forgot all about
your wedding, was SO interested in
your friend Hilda. You'll pardon me-
but couldn't help taking her for q
ride, and we had a mishap. Oh, we
didn't get hurt, but we got pretty vigil
acquainted. Wen be right up to the
hotel. Better get. those clothes ready
for Hilda, because she's going to be
your attendant, all right; but what's
more interesting to me-there's going
to be a double wedding"
