about his work telling the boys to
break the goat to drive, and up-to-date
/ am not quite sure who's ahead, the
boys or the goat.
They hitched him up to the cart and
he Wculdn't move an inch and no
amount of persuasion that could be adj
ministered from the rear would induce
him to bulge out Of his tracks until
finally Doc. O'Hara came along and
knowing him to be long on animal
kind the boys asked b m what to do.
Doc. told them that the K. C.'s always
put little Cayenne pepper on the
goats Whiskers when they wanted him
, to make an impression and volunteer
ed that the same dose might work I'D
in the cart and held the lines and Ber-
nard went into the house and got the
coaxer and sprinkled good bit on
Billy's whiskers. Billy woke up, shook
his whiskers a bit and shifted few
shifts. Walter threw the cart into
high and braced his feet for ride.
Billy made leap into the air and he
was off and around the house lickety
larrup. He first spied a big ash pile
and made for it and when he was
through playing with this he looked
like Santa Claus and Walter looked
like he'd been foreman for Frank
Gibbs on busy day. Next he spied
Mrs. Quilligan hanging out her wash
ing and while she was very busy at
tending to her Mondays duties he let
drive at her and struck her on her new
vaccination that the doctor said
wouldn't work. Walter applied the
brakes but nothing would slacken the
speed, for the ashes and pepper were
working together and this concoction
kept the goat running on high until
he landed on the top of an old furnace
and here is where he parted cnmpanv
with Walter and the cart. Next he
made straight for the kitchen and
went through window and in sec
ond the remainder of the family was
standing on the kitchen table and the
family cat was safely perched on the
clock shelf and the old family time
piece was struggling for life on the
floor. After finishing several pieces
of furniture Billy took to the cellar
and the door was slammed behind him
and he will be kept there until Jack
gets home from Anoka when he will
call on Doc. O'Hara for brief ex-
PLANTATION and will administer little
coincidence to Mrs. Quilligan. If had

very busy man during the first years
at Plymouth. And, but for his wis
dom, skill and heroic actions, there
is little doubt but what they would
have all been murdered by wild savag-

brave and unselfish man as Standish
was should now be paraded before his

The poet is no more accurate in deal

the marriage Of John Alden and Pris-

was to place Priscilla on a milk

cow, nor a steer in all New England!

A resolution passed by the Commit

dication Of what it's ultimate decision
may be. It also specifically refused
to recognize grain exchanges as the
best means Of selling grain.

the findings of the committee and not
recognizing the grain exchanges as the
best possible method of marketing
grain, "the committee members said,

Of the United States bar cooperative
companies that distribute their pro-
fits in proportion with the volume of
business handled, from participating
in the buying and selling of farm pro-
ducts. This prevents the producers
from collectively selling their own
products on the markets of the coun-
try, thereby creating monopoly in
the hands of the traders, situation
which is not just and which is not in
harmony with the spirit of American
institutions.
Government Asked to Act.
"We call upon the Federal Trade
Commission, the Attorney General or
other authority to take such steps as
may be necessary to open the markets
to the membership of cooperative
companies unless the grain exchanges
shall voluntarily do the same at once"
"The Committee of Seventeen" w.
G. Eckhardt, its treasurer, said today,
"has gone on record publicly as con-

to be able to market the grain crop in

Beat Them to 1t

An Irvington man planted several
hills of bantam sweet corn in an iso-
lated part of his garden 10 grow seed
for next year. He remarked to- a
neighbor woman about the time that
''the blackbirds and sparrows had not
succeeded in finding his seed corn this
year" The second morning after
making this remark he found about
forty blackbirds, near sunup, busily
deyouring his corn. He "shooed"
them away and that evening pulled
all the ears and put them away for
safe keeping. The next morning he
looked out to see whether any black
birds were on hand. Sure enough an
immense flock was sitting on the
ground at the base of the now barren
stalks looking at each other and
around The puzzled look on their
"countenances," he says, was Iudi-
crous in the extreme.-IndianapoIis

GAS TO FOIL BANK ROBBERS
Continuance Threatens TO Make Trou-
Bile for That Particular Class Of
Societ|s Enemies.

Bank robbers who make a speciality
Of attacking vaults with explosives
will do well to beware Of a contriv-
ance newly patented by Richard c.
Roeschel of Harrisburg, Pa.
He proposes to provide chemical
defense for banks In the shape Of an
arrangement Of glass tubes forming a
sort Of poison-gas battery. Il may be
made part Of the gate inside vault,
or may have any other structural re-
lation TO the vaults that is deemed
desirable. 1t may even be portable,
so as 10 be placed in position at night,
and removable in the daytime.
The tubes are designed TO contain
benzyl iodid, tear-gas stuff, or any
other suitable chemical which, when II
expands, is calculated 10 asphyxiste
the robber or at least put him 10
flight. Bulbous expansions of the tubes
furnish containers for the deadly ma
terial.
The 'robber has only to start some
thing by setting off a charge Of eI-
plosives. The conclusion breaks the
tubes; out flows the lethai chemical,
and the business of burglary interests

Grain Sown From ArpIsne

Through an invention to sow grain
by airplane, aircraft may be listed as
agricultural implements. The new
flying grain sOwer," says the New
York Sun, will plant strip Of Sc feet
wide travelling at the rate OF 40 miles
an hour. The seeds are expelled by
air pressure from q perforated metal
tube with sufficient velocity TO drive
them deep into til ground. At the
end of each wing a thin stream OF
white lime or fertilizer is released to
outline the planted area. The plane is
constructed to make landing on a
plowed field without damage.
Under normal conditions the flying
sower" has a capacity of 64o acres in
about six hours. The same area plant
ed with an eight-foot drill travelling at
the rate of three miles an hour would
take a man twenty-five and a half
days of ten hours, Ii is estimated that
1000 acres could he covered in one
day by the air-Sower.

IDEA WOULD PLEASE DICKENS
First Free children's Library in Eng
land to Be Opened in Old Home
Of Novelist

There Is to be opened soon the first
free library for children in England in
a building In which that lover Of chill
dren, Charles Dickens, spent several
eventful years Of his own childhood.
1t is an idea 80 appropriate and fitting
that all supporters Of the scheme must
wish for its success, remarks the
Christian Science Monitor The house
in question is 80 johnson street, Som
ers town, and the Dickens family lived
here after they left Chatham, being
tenants Of the house for five years.
From this house Dickens, the father.
was taken to the Debtors prison. the
Marshalsea, an incident which after
ward supplied his son with copy" for
two Of his most famous books THE
Pickwick Papers" and Little Dorrit."
Dickens is a striking example Of how
much can be accomplished by a case
Of real genius under adverse condi-
tons, and Il is he himself in David
Copperfeld." who tells US what help
and enlightenment he got in his
wretched surroundings from the few
books which made up his fathers tiny
library. Though small, that library
was a rich treasure trove TO a clever
child. Don Qui1ote and Gil Bias
each Of these masterpieces is com
posed Of many stories-and from
Fielding, Smollett, Goldsmith and De-
foe, Dickens must have learned the
music Of words, and the grace and dig
nifty Of tale Of life well told.
If his old house now becomes the
home of a free library for children
who. like him, may have chance to
forget the hard facts Of their lives in
the works OF great authors, everyone
who has the welfare Of children at
heart, must rejoice.

AS A FRENCHMAN SEES US
Americans Are Gamblers in Business
and Careless in Thrift, is Verdict
He Renders.

Half a dozen British writers having
looked-us over this summer and record
ed their impressions, a Frenchman,
Louis Thomas, is now doing the same
thing for the French Capper's Weekly,
the Opinion.
American wastefulneSs is q stupefy-
ing thing to Frenchmen," says Thomas.
1--WE are thrifty and even we must
admit, avariciOuS. Our experts, who
co-operated with them in war enter
prises, found them abominably waste
full, Indifferent TO costs and improyi-
dent TO the last degree"
The reason is simple, says Thomas.
Americans are gamblers
They do not want to make a mod
crate profit, a steady, regular, perhaps
mediocre income, but. on the contrary,
to make a great deal Of money in a
very short time, to get rich quick
'They gamble at businessmen at
roulette or baccarat; but it is gam
bling all the same"
As for wastefulness:
$50 many people here have made
their money by chance, by good luck,
by a flash of imagination, and not by
the sweat of their brow, that they are
naturally wasteful and spendthrift to
an extent which We can hardly imagine
in Europe.
Everyone wastes, even the poor,
and particularly the women, who, for
the most part do not seem to have time
to acquire the habits Of economical
housekeeping possessed by women Of
the old world"

MEMORIAL TO CLARA BARTON
School in Which Great Woman Taught
Is to &c Preserved as Education

good folk of BordcntOwn. y. j., told
Clara Barton, the greatest woman

best friends to children in all time.
ut has been tried and always It has
failed"
She had taught at HightstOwn in
1853, and the fame Of her cOnquests
Of cXpertly bad boys had spread. Her
pupils were her champions, and wher-
ever their enthusiasm could reach
some Of the general prejudices against
public schools were shaken. But BOr-
dentOwn was ten miles away.
The new teacher took a tumble
down, unoccupied building, with six
pupils, but in six weeks the place was
too small to hold half Of the little Bor-
dentOwners who wanted, at last, to 90
to school. ~ had become-thOugh no
one knew it then-an educational
landmark. The old structure where
she proved that there was life in pub
lie schools will be taken care Of for
the future.
Since Clara Barton was the founder
Of the Red Cross in America, that Or
ganizati0n took the responsibility Of
buying the school when it was in dan
ger Of destruction, but they could not
buy the site. Now the building has
been moved and the land On which it
stands has been donated.
Burlington county teachers have re-
stored the interior so skiIlfully that
it is almost exactly as it was when
Miss Barton taught there:
