REFUSED HAND OF SULTAN
Offer of Marriage by Ruler of Suiu Was Turned Down by Alice
 Roosevelt.

The Moro is not all bad. He has his good points. There has never been q case where q Moro has murdered an American woman, and there are many American women in Moroland. This abstinence, however, is not due to Moro chivalry, but to the fact that In the Moro thought women have no souls.
 Not that the believed sOullessness of the sex keeps the Moro from be- Ing a ladies' man. In fact, he is in- clined to be very gallant The fa- nous visit of the Taft party, ac- companied by the then Miss Alice Roosevelt, some years ago (and long to be remembered in the Phil ippines), was attended by . char. acteristic exhibition of Moro gal lantry. When this party visited Jolo--no trip to the islands would f6s complete Without visiting this picturesque island-his royal high ness, the sultan of Sulu, immedi- ately offered his hand in marriage to the daughter of the President. He addressed her as the American princess, and the name of Princess Alice still clings to her in the Phil ippines. The fact that hls highness already had couple of dozen wives scattered around the town was no deterrent in case of a Mohammedan monarch.

 Late in the winter or early In the spring the poultry owner should select and mate his best hens to use for re- producing his flock. To do this he must choose the seasons breeding stock with care.
 Progress will be made most quickly by selecting and using the best indi- viduals in the flock as breeders rather than by breeding the flock as whole. Standardized roosters of the right type should be used with the selected birds; the chickens then will be of n much higher quality than the birds of last years flock.
 Selecting Healthy Boosters.
 The selection of a male should be in- fluenced largely by the character of the females used. Any general weakness in the hens should be offset. so far as possible, by strength in that particular in the male.
 Only by continuous selection for health and vigor is 1t possible to build up a flock that will produce fertile eggs. strong chicks capable of making ',Quick growth, and bullets with suiii- cient stamina to stand the strain of heavy egg production.
 The appearance of bird Is not al ways sure indication of it's vigor. but appearance and action taken together are . fairly reliable guide. say poultry specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The comb, face and wattles should be of a good bright color, the eyes bright and fairly prominent, and the head broad and short, having fairly short we'll curved back and showing no tendency to be long. "snaky." or "crowheaded."
 The bird should be alert and have a strong, vigorous carriage; the legs set well apart and strongly supporting the body, with no indication of weakness or knock knees. The bone in the shank should be strong and not too fiue for the breed with the toes strong. straight and not too long. Clean, smooth plumage Is desirable. as . lack of condition often accompanies

N When to Mate the Birds.
 Mating should be made at least two weeks before beginning to save the eggs for hatching It is often desirable to mate even further ahead, so that few eggs can Ve incubated for five or six days to see whether they are fer tile. If they are not fertile there Is still time to change the male bird.
 The breed of birds influences the size of the matings. If the fowls are con fined to q yard, it is usually desirable to run from F to l5 females of small breed with one male. while the females of the heavier breeds. only eight to ten are mated usually with one male. When the fowls have free range and the male is strong and vigorous. it is often possible to obtain fertile eggs with a much greater number of fe- males to each male.

Standardized poultry. as the phrase Is commonly used in America. b poultry bred to the standards es- tnblishesl by the American Poultry association. The principal points con sidered arc size. shape and color. say poultry specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture.
 Size and shape are breed character istics and largely determine practical values of poultry. Many standard breeds are divided into varieties diff fering In color, but identical in every other respect Color is not pri- mary utility point. but as a secondary point often comes in for special con sideratiOn. For example, a white va riety and black variety of the same breed are actually identical in table quality. but because some black birds do not dress for the market as clean and nice looking as white ones. 1t oftsn happens that they are not as saIahle.

Such pictures are improperly
framed. They prove that the home
woman has given little thought
of study to the framing of her
pictures
Both frame and mat of a picture
should be in harmony with the

in which it hangs, For the picture,
itself, is the thing that should at
tract, not its frame. A frame or a
mat out of harmony with the wall
paper and woodwork, not only Gre
ate a note of unrest in room. but
also detract from the picture itself
because it signals the eye and
holds it instead of letting the pic
ture do this.
OF course good picture needs
good frame, but the frame should
never assert itself at the expense of
the picture. Its width, size. and col
or must suit the picture. An en-
craving framed in black with n

ALL FOOLS DAY EDITORIALS.

On All Fools Day, evening contemporary
published lengthy, editorial entitled, '"rhe Route

to Law at the door of the Journal the recent
difficulties which the copper mining companies
of Grant county have experienced,
The journal, of course. is highly compmented,
for its sphere of Influence is thereby made to
appear far greater than one might imagine. The
copper mines of Arizona. for instance, have been
similarly troubled. The editorial docs not def-
ntely connect the Journals policy with the Ar-
zona mining difficulties; but careful students of
economics know that the general conditions
which brought about a closing in New Mexico
affected properties in Arizona.
We blushingly deny the power to open and
close business as ponderous and prosperous as

Heralds editor delights to call "our mncrmost

the apathy of, the metal market contributed to
the decision of the Jackng interests to close their
mines,

venom. If personal feelings must be aired, An

torial. The editor speaks of the economic in-
tegrity of the managers and owners of these New
Mexico mining properties, who have put far more
money into New Mexico than they have ever

with Chino Copper and the lacking Interests,

put more money into New Mexico than they have
