Peck, ot Wisconsin explains the story of his ringing afire alarm to get an audience by the statement, that at the time be was in charge of a relief train to the starving miners at Hurley, Wis. The laborers employed refused to unload the cars unless they were paid in advance and Governor Peck rang a Are alarm and when the crowd gathered made a speech successfully asking for recruits. Centralization of wealth and indus trial power in great corporations destroys the prospect of the youth of humble fortune of ever rising to financial inde pendence. He sees the giants of trade and commerce who overshadow him and the power which they wield to crush and destroy, and he despairs of ever overcoming the obstacles before him. Not so when fortunes are small er, but more numerous, for then they appear within the reach of all who are frugal and Industrious.—Buffalo Times. The resolves of the recent conference are food for jest. England goes to war, the United States plunges into militar ism and the German emperor announces the entry of his empire into "world politics" with a larger navy and a big ger army. Ware and rumors of war disturb the sleep of prince and peasant. What makes the spectacle grotesque is that all this bluster is in the name of trade. Commerce, we are told, Is war. If you want cothmerce you must go out and kill somebody. Military con quest is the condition precedent with out which trade is not possible. And the funniest part of the joke is that many sane persons actually believe it. St. Louis Dispatch. The Cedar Rapidis Gazette says that Williams, the evangelist, is defendant in a suit for 95,000 damages for alleged slander, the plaintiff being Justice of the Peace Ferguson, of Shenandoah, Iowa, where Williams is now holding a series of meetings. It is rather sur prizing that Williams' tactics have not made him defendant in more legal actions. His long Buit is abuse, and he never misses an opportunity to roast those who differ from him. His career in this city was short. For obvious reasons the press refused to take any notice of hiB meetings, and the revival effort was brought to a close. Many good (people were surprised at the position taken by the press, but bave no* criticisms to offer. It is ex ceedingly doubtful whether Williams could start another series of meetings here under any circumstances. Aguinaldo, the Balay. It is difficult to form an opinion upon a character belonging to another nation or race, and the boyish Malay chief, Emilio Aguinaldo, remains a character not easily analyzed. That he is a man of magretism and of certain power has been proven by hiB success on organiz ing a heterogenous mob of rebels will ing to follow him to Bure death. In away the interest of the world is centered upon him, and it is interesting to learn something of his career. He was born not quite thirty years ago, probably in the province of Cavite, in the island of Luzon. There is some doubt as to his ancestry, but he is mostly declared to be the son of a Span ish general. The circumstances of hiB boyho6d were favorable to his mental developement. When but four years old, he was tak' on into the house of a Jesuit priest in Manila as "houBeboy" helping wash dishes, clean Bilver, and the like. His master took an Interest in him, and gave him an education above the aver age. He afterwards attended universities in Manilla and Hong Kong. He had a fiery sense of wrong done in the in human oppressions practiced by Spain, and he led many enterprises for the vio lent punishment of those who haB been the most flagrant oppressors. He was always a leader, a "general" or a "col onel" from the start. Yet it was hiB influence which caused the insurgents to accept the overtures of the Manila goverment at last. In his hands was placed the small quota of the promised $1,000,000 actu ally paid by the Spaniards, and he, with hiB chief, left the island, under bonds to keep the peace. But the unauthorized promises, in May last, of Mr. ltounsevelle Wlldman. the Ameri can conBul at Hong Kong, to the effect that the United States would recognize the independence of the Philippines, sent Aguinaldo and the others back to the island, and they organized the in surrection on a vaster scale than be fore, As a leader he has enormous energy, self-control, and shrewdness, but he Is shifty and unscrupulous as well.—Household, Chinese Proverbs.

Vio, and Com Paul, (Respectfully Dedicated to the Anglo-Maniacs Who Want an Alliance.)—M. D. Nagle in Dubuque Globe Journal. Tbere was an old lady named Vic., Who, with Oom Paul, a quarrel did pick, And her brain It Is burning. And her mind It is turning While cold chills up her ample spine creep. Then she cried out aloud in her grief, "Oh! for a man and a chief. To s<y'er the sea And do battle for me, And bring my poor heart some relief." Then camo forth the greatest of all, To "lay out 'our old Uncle Paul, But Paul he was fuller Of fighting than Buller, And old Vic. gave another loud bawl. Now Oom. with his thumb on his nose. Is wiggling his hand at his foes, For, on Afrlc's dark jphore, He has made Vicky sore, And knocked out the chap with silk hose. Now Oom gives a shout of defiance, To her gen'rals of tinsel, not science And In words loud and clear, Says to Vicky, "Look here! Dairymen in Session. At the South Dakota Dairyman's association held at Mitchell last week instructive papers were read on the smooth brome grass as a forage plant, by Prof. Saunders, of Brookings col 'ege, and John Armstrong, of Desmet, who spoke on feeding of the dairy cow. During the afternoon the buttermaker's assooiation held a meeting to decide on the future of the organization, and sent a committee before the dairymen ask ing that the two associations be consoli dated, adding the name of buttermak ers to the name of the association and giving them the presidency of the com bined organization. The dairymen finally agreed to take in the buttermak ers on the proposition, and the name was changed to the South Dakota Dairy and Buttermaker's association. The exhibition of butter was the largeBt seen at any of the conventions in a good many years, tbere being over fifty entries in the competitive contest. Granular Butter. The following method is employed for making butter which it is desired to keep for a considerable time. When the butter has reached the granular condi tion in churning, that is, when the par ticles are about the size of barley grains, the buttermilk is drawn off and ice cold water added. The butter is then washed with cold water and removed from the churn to a stone jar without packing or mashing the grains. The jar is then filled with brine. This brine will soon dissolve some of the casine in the butter and so acquire a cloudy as pect. A change of brine will leave the second solution clear on the butter. A plate should be used to cover the butter allowing the brine to come up over it. The brine, of course, intermingles free ly about each granule of butter throughout the mass, which will pre serve for weeks in tbis way. It can be taken'out any time and worked into rolls or prints. If too salty it may be washed out with clear water.—Guy E. Mttohell, in Farm and Flmtda. MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER. 27, 1899. v: With you I don't want an alliance." Color is subservient to flavor in butter. good Each year finds the silo reac hing out and it Is becoming popular on farms where dairy herds are kept. The round silo is in the lead.—Bural World. Milk for the creamery must be milk in Its proper condition. The farmer who has permitted his milk to get Into bad Bbape had better teed it to his hogs or poultry than attempt to kaud it to the creamery where it will be likely to spoil a hundred other batches of milk. —Farmers' Review. Dairy Cow. Sating Straw. Whenever grain is grown largely and its straw is stacked in the barnyard after threshing, cows have a great lik ing for rubbing themselves against the stack to rid themselves of the file, that torment them. A fence should be built around the stack t» protectit from being pultod to pieces. Cows will eat considerable straw, picking at It, and they will often eat enough of the chaff to lessen their flow of milk. This chaff makes good winter feed if moistened and grain meal or bran IB mixed with it. Thus fed even the straw will not help dry the cows off, as it will if fed dry.— American Cultivator. Buttermaker. at Hitchell. The meeting of the South Dakota buttermakers was one of the most successful in the hiBtory of the association, from the fact that there was a larger attendance and that there was a greater number of creameries of the state entered in the butter contest. During the session a resolution was adopted urging the South Dakota representatives in con gress to take up the oleomargarine bill and use every effort to secure its pas sage. Each senator and congressman was notified of this action by a tele gram to one and strong letters to the others. The secretary of the national association was present during the meeting and was able to secure the promises of a large number of butter makers toattend the meeting of the National Buttermakers' association at Lincoln, Neb., in February. Do not change milkers If possible to avoid It. No one knows what a cow until It is teBted. The milking qualities of a cow de pend more upon those of her Bire's mother than upon those other own. In breeding see that the males come from milking ancestors, in order to get good heifer calves for the dairy. Allowing the cream to remain in the milk too long before skimming will often cause white speckB in the but ter. 4 And cannons now roar In the land of the Boer, And the sound makes old Vicky feol sick. She sent down her men by the corps, To fight the stout-hearted old.Boprn Who laughed at her style, And laid low rank and file, And he should "Just send us some more" Then Vic. wrung her bands and did weep, O'er the heaps that Oom Paul put to sleep To Keep Out Tuberculosis. In keeping the herd of dairy cows free from tuberculosis a few general rulee at least should be observed. First know that the herd is free from the disease. Then do not bring anew cow into the herd uniesB she has been first tested by tuberculin. If milk is taken to a creamery and Bkim-milk brought back., do not permit it to be used till it has been pastuerized. ThiB will not only make'it safe to feed to calves, but if it Is fed to pigs will also prevent the disease being spread in that direction, which means its getting a foothold on the farm. Do not under any circum stances permit strange cattle to run in the pastures or occupy the stables. Above all, do not permit a consumptive person to take care of the cows.—Farm ers' Review. Kysterioua Disease in Cattle. A number of cattlemen at Ains worth, Neb., have of late lost cattle from some mysterious cause. The cat tie so dying were those turned into corn fields. They are attacked with dizzi ness, stagger to and fro for a short time, ending In falling to the ground in spasms, and after a struggle, seem to die in-terrible agony. A Star-Journal reporter has interviewed a number of stockmen over the cause of these deaths ana each and everyone seems mystified and unable to account for it. Some think it is caused by the deadly "nightshade others claim it has been caused by "loco," so well known in southern Kansas. Whatever the cause, fully fifty head of cattle have died within a radius of a few miles of Ains worth. And also, whatever the cause, it comes from the corn fields, for BB soon as the cattle were taken off the corn stalks and pot into the feed lots the losses ceased. It is claimed by some that the deaths resulted from lack of water and salt, the cattle overfeeding and becoming bound up. This theory, though, is un tritt witb regard to I. Fowler's cattle, for instance. Mr. Fowler lost eleven head j^fore he took them off the corn IP llfti1- every case the cattle had free acceas'to Ijoth salt'and water and helped themselves liberally, and instead of the binding process the direct opposite was manifest. Neither were the cattle bloated in the leaBt. It is surely a case for the. state veterin arian, and it is to be hoped that official may help to earn bis salary by a strict investigation. There have been no deaths reported the past few days, as cattle have been taken out of the fields by alarmed cattlemen, and In so doing the number of fatalities seems to have ceased. At Trenton, Neb., farmers and cattle dealers have loBt more cattle this year than any previous year. E. A. Hogg is one of the heavy losers, having lost thirteen from blackleg. He is using vaccine virus with some success. Ola Little Contribution. One of the many stories told of the late Dr. Wallace, &L P.. Is to the effect that when the editor of a local paper In the north asked him "If he would kindly furnish an article on 'a light theological topic'" Wallace responded with one bearing the title "The Rela tions Between the Presbyterian Ohurch and Modem Thought" When set up the article made 40 columns, and it be came a puzzle to editor and printer bow to get rid of it They began by using it In pieces, and whenever the printer said to the editor, "We've got no leader," the reply was, "Eh, mon, just sneck off about a column and a quarter o' Wallace," In this way the contribution was used, first working down from the beginning, then up ward from the eu1. -Loudon Academy. A HERO OF THE MINE. B. Risked HI. Lite to Save Tbst of Felloiv Workman. Heber Franklin, a young man em ployed at tho Clear Creek mine, Is as much a hero aB any man who ever braved death on the battlefield. Frank lin sought not glory, but to save a hu man life. There was afire In the mine. The men were called out. Then they were about to shut off the air In order to stop the flames, when It was learned that alone miner was working deep In the mine beyond the point where the fire Btarted and waB then raging with growing strength. Here Is the story of the subsequent events: Foreman Thomas Immediately called for volunteers to go with him into the mine to rescue the man. Several at tempts were made by different ones, but they were driven back by the flames, and the cry of "Powder!" caused a hasty retreat Finally Heber Franklin, a young man whose work keeps him on the outside, said, "I will go." And accompanying Foreman Thomas he pressed on through the fire and found the man working away tamping a hole, entire ly unconscious of the danger threaten ing him. They succeeded ln getting out ot the mine safely, when the fan waB shut off and the dip closed up. The rescue was an act of great bravery on the part of Franklin, as bis work kept him on the outside and be was unacquainted with the exact lay of the land inside, and the danger of suffoca tion from black damp was great. He was the only man of the many stand ing by whose nerve did not desert him. It is stated upon good authority that ten minutes more of lost time would have resulted ln the death of the miner who was at work and possibly a great loss to the company, as the supply of air could not be cut off while there was any hope of rescue, and this would have tuM to (Md th« flames.—Salt What do the Children DrinkP Don't give them tea or coffee.
