A few thousand of years later a kind-hearted political party took a lot of infant industries into itB bosom and when the infant industries had grown into trusts and monopolies they gouged their toes into the political parly's bosom. Anyhow, just as the administration announce** its intention of building eighteen new cruisers for the navy, the shipbuilders bob up se renely with a $20,003,000 Bhipyard trust and tell the kind-hearted party which has fostered them, to dig up a few ex tra millions of plunks from the pockets of the people. And the indications are that the extra plunks will be dug up.— Alton Democrat. be at on an an rr War prosperity is a fever, and on its subsidence there is a lowered vitality, a less healthful condition. Wheu war is overj.the syndicates have unloaded. They have no burden of unsalable stock on hand. They have amassed wealth selling at a high price. After every war comes a period of low mor als, of vicious tendencies and of profli gacy which possesses all the vices of the camp without the apology of avowed activity. And in the wake of that comes a season of commercial and in dustrial depression that almost threat ens the foundation of society.—LaFay ette (lnd.) Journal, Wall Street's Game.

Any of you who think your system needs a little beer, whiskey or tobacco, try a little buttermilk instead (give it a good trial) and became health ier and happier. The only stimulants this writer takes are buttermilk and loppered milk. Facto Prom a Skillful Fa.mer, Uncle John Patterson, the noted dairy farmer, of Kirksville, Mo., and ex-president of the dairy association of that state, has been made the subject of an extended write-up with illustrations by Ed. J. Ohubbuck, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. Patterson is a Swede who came to this county but a few years ago with only £100, and unable to speak English. Mow he has 700 acres or land, and milks ninety cows. There are some very excellent points in this write-up, for they are instructive In showing how the man himself has worked out the problem of successful dairying: Mr, Patterson's line dairy farm is lo cated seven miles east of the city of Kirksville. At the present lime Mr. Patterson is milking ninety cows, mak ing from 350 to 400 pounds of butter a week This is put up in one-pound prints and sold to one dealer In Kirks ville. The local dealer sells every pound of this butter in Kirksville, Aside from the butter, he Bells on an average about 85 worth of buttermilk a week, thus making his weekly iii come from the dairy about $75, or $300 a month. It might be well to add here that Mr. Patterson's cash receipts for keP' WrallRt.rAAf', II advance to Vf street gamblers and thiB knowledge enabled them to reap a rich financial reward. tO CamhlAreand tkfa The day before the bond purchases were made, when Secretary Gage was leaving the White House after a cabinet meeting, he said to a group of news paper men: 'The talk of buying bonds Is an old story. ThoBe speculative fellows in New York want the government toheip For feed them out of a hole. That is all there is to it.

This continued on a falling market until near the close or the next day's market, when it was announced that the government would buy 825,000,000 worth of bonds. Of course, BtockB went up with a bound and the "knowing ones" were consequently happy. It is alleged that Abner McKlnley was one of the fortunate buyers of 1' depressed stocks.

Mr. Patterson's saccess as a dairyman is due in great measure to the fact that he thoroughly studies the feed question. "The longer work with my cowb," said he, "the more I study how to se cure good feed that is cheap enough. Dry corn, wheat bran and good hay cost too much, and don't produce a large enough flow of milk." Last fall he erected a large stave silo, thirty feet deep and twenty-four feet in diameter with a capacity of 275 tons, ThiB bIIo was erected at a cost of S350, hut It proved to be such a "money saver" and "milk producer" that he will build an other one nearly as large this fall. He is giving the cow pea a thorough trial this year, having some forty-eight acres In peas and ten acres in soy beans. Last fall when he filled his silo, he put in a few loads of corn and then a few loads of peas. The corn and peas were run through a cutter and elevated by means of a carrier to the top of the silo and dropped down and then thoroughly packed in. He fed about one bushel of ibis feed a day to each cow. He makes tbe olaim that this made tbe cheapest and best cow feed he ever handled, the cows making better returns during the past winter than ever before. A Sharp Swindler* A fashionable young lady not long ago drove up in a handsome carriage to" a private lunatic asylum, situated a few miles from Paris, and requested to see tue proprietor. Her wish being acceded to. she informed the doctor that she desired to place her husband under bis care to see If a cruel mania, under which he labored—viz, "that he had lost a large quantity of Jewels"— could not be removed. After some hesitation the doctor con sented, and the lady drove away di rectly to a jeweler's In Paris and se lected jewels to the value of several thousand francs and requested one of the shopmen to go with her In her car riage to procure the money for the goods she bad taken. She drove with him to the asylum, and, arriving there, he was shown into a room. Tbe lady then sought the doctor, told him of tbe arrival of her husband, and getting into her carriage again drove away. The rest may be imagined, but the poor fellow was confined several days before it was found they both had been "sold." The lady was never heard of after. Knew Hl« Tftm»* ••A ragged boy about 10 years old," says a correspondent of the Detroit Free Press, "sat on the fence in front of an Arkansas cabin, and Just as I eame up his mother came to the door an£ called 'Moses!' in a loud voice. Xfc* boy did not look around, and after willed 'Abraham!' He made no move, and 1 was asking him how far It was to Greenville when she put out her head and called 'Luke I' He did not appear to hear and had an swered me that it was seven miles when the mother raised her voice still higher and shouted 'Mark!' 'Your mother is calling you/ I said, he paid no attention. 'No, not me.' he replied. 'But who, then? 'My brothers over in the woods. She's calle for Moses, Abraham, Luke and Mark.

Persia Is the ideal place for a looking glass peddler to live and move aud have his trade, for the Persians are as fond of the shiny reflectors as are sav ages of beads. Every year Immense numbers of mirrors of all sorts, and kinds are shipped into the country of tbe shah. Germany, France and Bel glum furnish moBt annSt„1 of the supply. In addition to having a fondness for see ing themselves as looking glasses show them the Persians know no more pleas ing parlor decorations than brilliant mirrors In gilt frames. Some of the Persiau drawing rooms are so com pletely hemmed in by great pier glass es that visitors often become bewil dered and try to walk through the glasses down the long aisle that seems to stretch iu front. So bumped noses, kneeB and toeB are not uucommon In that land of oriental splendor and mystery. Settled It.

To Hake the Byes Bright. The simple plau of bathing the eyes with cold water every night at bed* time and the first thiug on getting up in the morning will make the eyes both clear and bright. The applica tion of cold water cuuses the blood tn the numerous little blood vessels which surround the eyes to circulate freely, and in consequence the eyes will be come stronger and brighter. Tea Drinking. Tea drinking was regarded as one of the feminine vices of a hundred years ago. The Female Spectator of that pe riod observes: "The tea table costs more to support than would maintain two children nt nurse. It Is the utter destruction of all t'conoujv. the hnue of good housewifry and the source of Idleness." Rather be sweet in spirit than strong (n muscle. What do the Children Drink Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourish ing and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-0 you give the children the more health youdlatribute through their systems. Grain-0 is made of pure grainB, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice gradeB of coffee but costs about as much.
