X REIGN OF TERROR.
Trio Kind of Lifo Thoy Lead In Baku,
In 8outhern Ruaaia.
Henry M. Nevlnson, a British news
paper correspondent, writes aa follows
of present day events In Baku, south
ern Russia: "'Yoo parasiteT When
you open a letter at breakfast and find
that written at tbe top instead of
'Dear sir or 'My darling love' your at
tention is immediately drawn to the
contests. But here In Baku, If you
fcappen to be tbe hardworking man
ager of a rich field with lots of wells
yielding some 200,000 pounds of oil
apiece every twenty-four hours, you
will ot be so much surprised. You
will know at once what Is coming, and
your first thought will be a visit to
your banker's. 'Our agents, the letter
goes on, 'will call on you tomorrow
afternoon at 5 o'clock and you will
give them the sum of $750. Should
you refuse you will be killed tomorrow
or next day. Should you betray our
agents or give the smallest bint to the
police the whole of your family will
share your fate. Signed and sealed on
behalf of the committee.' The seal is
a rubber stamp in red, sometimes bear
ing the words, 'Social Democratic Fed
eration, sometimes 'Anarchist Com
mune. The sum demanded varies con
siderably. I think It is seldom over
' $1,000, for one must be reasonable in
these matters, and usually it is less. I
have known a popular and capable
English manager to get off with $25,
which is a ludicrous exchange for life.
But when the agents ring at the door
and aik the servant If you are at home
and disengaged, the only thing to do
la to pay.
"For there is no pretense about the
threats. Refusal or betrayal means
death without pauee, probably within
the day. It has been proved over and
over again. It was proved last week
In the case of a well known and pow
erful manager who was murdered
with revolvers. It was proved the day
before yesterday when a Russian man
ager was disemboweled with knives
and lived a horrible time. Anyhow, if
you think it worth while to live a little
longer here below, you must pay and
try to reclaim from the company.
Whether the company will ever get
anything by reclaiming from the Rus
sian government heaven knows. The
government is too busy with the trou
blesome and expensive task of shoot
ing its political opponents or seeding
them to Siberia to undertake the pro
tection of commonplace citizens who
have no perilous notions about free
dom, i
"Most conspicuous men employ arm
ed retainers to protect them or avenge
their death. Some publish from time
to time in the local papers a list of tbe
men who will be at once assassinated
if anything happens to themselves.
This Is thought very efficacious and
certainly helps to preserve the peace.
I know one manager who boasts ho
has. 200 men in his pay. each pledged
to kill some one if the manager Is mur
dered. rri;V may have exaggerated
the number, but there Is no dmLt
about tJ'-e fystem."
A Cigar Store Secret.
Every tobacconist has on his counter
a machine for cutting off the ends of
cigars. These machines are popular
for the reason that they pay for them
selves many times over every year.
The ends that smokers cut off are
carefully gathered from the counter,
nd it takes but a few hundred of
them to make a pound of good tobacco.
This can be sold for 40 or SO cents.
Some cigar store clerks are very so
licitous to see that the patron does not
overlook the cutting machine. They
push it toward him, and he Is much
Impressed with their politeness. These
clerks have for a perquisite the ma
chine's cuttlugs. This adds several dol
lars weekly to their salaries. New Or

Earlham Gets Ready for Track
And Baseball.
SCHEDULES ARE MADE OUT.
The prospects for spring athletics at
Karlham were never more promising
than they arc this year, as there are
a number of old men here who have J
done things and several new men who j
are going to do them, or at least show j
promise. j
There is a probability of two track
meets this year. There will probably
be a duel meet on May 4, on Reid
field, either, with Miami or the India-1
napolis Y. M. C. A. and on May 11 the j
state meet will be held at Wabash, j
Several old track men are back and
quite a number of new ones who are j
expected to show up well, among
them: Captain White, hurdles and
high jump; Wann. half and quarter; I
and Birch and Elliott the dashes. '
Among the long distance men may be
mentioned Nanny, Furnas. Winslow
and Hutton. Hancock has been doing
well in the pole vault. Smelser, This
tlethwaite, Guyer and Walthal are do
ing well in the weights.
As has been said before, Earlham
will take up a new departure in ath
letics this spring, that is, intercolle
giate baseball, and will probably Lave
a schedule of six games.
There has been very little base ball
played at Earlham for several years,
outside of a few class games, but as
there are quite a number of base ball
men in school this year, it is thought
that they may be able to make a good
showing. White, who is captain, has
shown himself to be a pitcher of abil
ity and Birch has also pitched some.
Among the other promising- candi
dates may be mentioned Elliott,
Grimes, Wann, Stanley, Furnas, G.
Barrett, Wright. Chambers and Huff. ;
The schedule is as follows: j
April 13 Miami at Earlham. !
April 20 Wabash at Crawfordsville
April 27 Open.

at work in his sterile fields fields
whose productivity has been exhausted
except under high fertilization. He re
turns to .his little chanty after night
fall. To the view of the foreigner-he
never rests, and for this never ending
labor he raises a crop of rice or corn
that does not support his family for the
year. His clothing consists of a loin
cloth in summer and a coarse cotton
suit in the winter. Farmers, like all la
borers and artisans of China, work
hard to live. Laborers earn 10 cents a

Poaeidon a Great Horse.
In faroff Australia, where the sea
sons are opposite to ours, horsemen
are singing the praises of Poseidon, by
Positano Jacinth. He has just accom
plished winning the "triple" events

years ever won these three big features
before.
Poseidon Is considered a worthy suc
cessor to Carbine, the great race horse
that won the Melbourne cup, with 145
pounds up, from forty-three opponents.
Since then Carbine's progeny in Aus
tralia and England have made his
name still more famous.
When Poseidon won the Caulfield cup
by three lengthy from a field of twenty

FORM INDIANA LEAGUE
TO PLAY SUNDAY DALL
Manager Huckins Gets Rich
mond Franchise.
MEETING HELD YESTERDAY.
Manager Harry Huckins of the
Richmond baseball club was at Indian
apolis yesterday in attendance at a
meeting of baseball managers from
Indiana cities, the purpose being to
form a Sunday afternoon league. Al
ready seven clubs have signified a
j willingness to join the league and with
an eighth yet to be chosen it is felt
that an ideal circuit can be perfected.
As the league now stands, Indianap
olis will have two clubs, the Reserves
and a team managed by Frank Quels-
j ser. Logansport will have a team
managed by J. N.Berry called the Ot-
tos, while the other clubs and their
j managers are Kokomo, George F.
; Traubue, Ft. Wayne, C. E. Barnett,
and Anderson, William Norton.
The constitution was framed and
' will come up for adoption at another
meeting, to be held on the first Sun-
j uay in April, wnen iorieiis win ds
posted for the continuance of the
i teams in the league until the season
j closes. A. R. Kling was elected presi
j dent, secretary and treasurer.
j A schedule will be adopted at the
next meeting. The season will start '
on April 29 and close the first week j
in October. Sunday and holiday i
games will be scheduled. On other !
idays the clubs will be permitted to

more
than from a financial standpoint. A
silver cup will be the prize to the
winner.

GILA MONSTERS.
Thoir Bite Is Sometimes Fatal and AN
ways Dangerous.
In a recent issue of the Scientific
American an article appeared written
by D. Allen Willey describing the Gila
monster. The statement was made in
the article that scientists had ques
tioned whether its bite was fatally
poisonous, as has been supposed. W.
C. Barnes of Las Vegas. N. M., claims
to know of two cases, in one of which
death resulted. Mr. Barnes writes as
follows:
"The first man was in Tombstone,
Ariz. The Gila was tied by the leg
in a saloon as a curio, and a drunken
gambler named Brown was teasing it.
He carelessly stuck his first two fin
gers into its mouth, which immediate
ly closed down on them and could not
be released until the reptile's head
was cut off and the jaws cut apart.
Brown suffered horrible agony for al
most two days, and in spite of all ef
forts he died.
"The second case was in the fall of
18S9. Walter Vail started from the
Empire ranch, near Benson, Ariz., to
ride into town on horseback, some fif
teen miles. A short distance from the
ranch a monster was sluggishly drag
ging its way across the road. Think
ing to take rt in for a friend, he got
down and killed it, or at least he
thought he killed it. To carry It easily
he tied it on his saddle behind him,
using his saddle string for the purpose.
As he loped along he thought to assure
himself it hadn't dropped off by reach
ing around behind him with his right
hand and feeling for the monster.
"It was there and not nearly as
dead as he thought. His first finger
went into the reptile's mouth clear to
the knuckle, and instantly those jaws
with the long, sharp, daggerlike teeth
closed on Vail's finger. With bis left
hand he managed to get his knife out
and cut the saddle strings and then
had to dissect the head and jaws to
t , 7
get his finger from their grip
"Vail then spurred his horse Into
Benson and found an engine in the
yards. A hasty exchange of telegrams
with the division superintendent and
Tucson took place, and in a few mo
ments he was on the engine and rac
ing over the road for Tucson, where an
eminent surgeon resided at that time.
Vail lay at death's door for two
months, and that finger today Is use
less and shriveled up from the effect
of the bite."
A Denatured Alcohol Teat. .
A careful test of denatured alcohol
was lately made by the driver of an
automobile, who drove his machine
from New York to Philadelphia with
alcohol fuel. He found advantages and
disadvantages In the use of it. The
auto consumed three times as much al
cohol as it would have consumed of
gasoline, but a part of the excess was
due to carelessness. The speed was
less than gasoline would have given,
and the power developed was less. But
it is to be born In mind that the engine
was not constructed to use alcohoL
The new fuel is absolutely safe, and
has a less disagreeable odor. On the
whole, he got everything he expected j
out of alcohol, and, although he does 1
not expect a general adoption of it for
pleasure vehicles, he foresees a large
use of it by the farmers of .the west.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Incubating Eggs.
In order to ratee chickens success
fully it is very essential to begin with
eggs which will hatch well and produce
strong, vigorous chicks. If the germs
are naturally weak, no amount of atten
tion and good care during the incuba
tion of tbe eggs and the brooding of
the chicks will make up for the original
lack of vigor. In spite of all that can
be done the hatch will be poor if the
germs are weak, and many of the
chicks which do hatch will die. As one
j cannot determine by an examination

and give"" it such attention that eggs
suitable for hatching must of necessity
result Bulletin West Virginia Station.
Hog House Floors.
A good board , floor, one that can be
kept clean and is elevated enough to
allow a circulation of air under it,
would insure better health to the sow
than the dirt floor covered with dust
and dirt, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Where the breeder regularly disinfects
his houses and lots he will find that it
is well nigh impossible to properly dis
infect the dirt floor, and It Is almost
Impossible to keep the bed clean and
dry when it is made upon a dirt floor.
On the other hand, disinfecting can be
easily and successfully done where the
floor Is of plank, and the bed can be
kept dry a good deal longer. We have
noticed that in nine cases in every ten
of rheumatism among hogs the farmer
keeps bis hogs upon the dirt floor.
Sheep Easy to Keep.
A few sheep could be kept on most
of our farms, and we would not miss
their feed In winter, and they would
destroy a great many briers and weeds
In summer. Where the stomach worm,
scab and dogs can be controlled there
Is no live stock that will pay near the
profit of sheep. One man in Illinois
reports a profit of $505 from seven
acres of corn with rape sown at last
cultivation fed to sheep. Show me sev
en acres of cotton that will net that
much and leave 90 per cent of the fer
tilizing value of the crop on the land
with no harvesting.
Clover a Valuable Crop.
Clover is good for feeding to live
stock and also splendid for renovat
ing or feeding the soil. There Is no
farm that is not capable of being help
ed by the growing and feeding on it
of clover. This Is to be kept in mind
and put In practice. Clover roots deep
ly and so gets a large part of its sup
port from the subsoil, and if the ground
Is well filled with clover roots when
the clover dies the enriching of the
soil by those roots must be Immense.
The roots produce a nitrogenous en
riching with the hay added.
Sheep Notes.
Do not let anything annoy the ewes.
Avoid feeding a ration that is consti
pating. Oats and bran make an excellent ra
tion for ewes with lamb.
If the sire be so strongly bred as to
Impart his characteristics to all his
produce, the flock will soon become
uniform In appearance.
Whjle sheep may pay better than any
other stock on poor, rough lands, if
well managed they wlll also pay on
smooth, rich land.
Goats and Sheep Compared.
Goats usually sell within a cent of
sneep on the market. The packers
buy hundreds of them, but never sell
any goat meat. Of course they know
a good piece of meat and eat them all.
Cattle, sheep and goats are especial
ly suited to the south as a surplus or
money stock because they can con
sume cottonseed meal and silage to a
larger extent than any other animal.

THE EDIFYING SOLDIER.
Sketch -of One of the Great German
Toy Warehouses.
The Troedel market is on a little is
land in the heart of the old town of
Nuremberg. Along tbe north branch
of the river is an old, low eaved house
with a little darkling doorway. When
you have got so far you are met by a
little old man a rusty little man who
looks as though he were made of metal
who lead you Into the great mysteri
ous warehouse of toys.
Bound all the walls they are ranged
guns, cannons, motors, steamships,
trumpets, sabers, and everywhere the
soldiers. How many millions of metal
soldiers have marched away from the
Troedel market not even the rusty old
(man could tell you mighty articles of
pewter and tin.
, Hundreds of regiments, of battalions,
of divisions, are drawn up on the
shelves, waiting for the day when they
shall be seut out into battle. And
with a kind of pride the rusty old man
says, "They are edifying soldiers."
That is the German way of putting
it. What it means is that each army
Illustrates a battle or a campaign
the war of Troy, the campaigns of
Alexander, the exploits of Coeur de
Lion, the war of thirty years, the
siege of Orleans, the victories of Na
poleon, the battles of 1870 and (the
one I liked best) that desperate battle

being completely happy? The mere
actions of eating and drinking are nei
ther pretty nor conducive to showing
people at their best. It is really a
most uncouth sight to see a man or a
woman stoking food. The necessity
of being polite at the same time makes
It uncomfortable as well. No sooner
have you got into conversation with a
pleasant woman than the soup in your
mustache stops all inspiration. She
despises you for your play with your
napkin, and your mustache la out of
shape. And who can feel that the
evening is going to be what he hoped
when he realizes that his shirt front is
smirched with some relic of the meal?
Indeed, dinner parties are really a
struggle between eating and talking, a
btruggle which does not always end,
as do most things, in the survival of
the fittest. As one can't speak with
one's mouth full and first hunger must
be appeased, conversation and eating
go on rather as a game, the one person
whipping up some food while the other
is speaking and then in hi? turn speak
ing in order to enable his partner to
get some nourishment. To talk or to
eat might be a sensible question at the
beginning of dinner, but it is not one
likely to be asked. One is seldom sure
which is least worth sacrificing, the
food or the converration. How much
simpler it would be if we fed apari

And I looked and beheld seven car
penters shingling a house. They were
hauling up bundles of shingles that
had been lying in the rain for two
days and nailing them on one by one

Now, brethren, why not lie sensible In
these small matters? Painters are not
needed at all In a case cf this kind.
Keep your shingles dry; buy a few
barrels of stain; saak the shingles i:f
the stain and throw them on the grass
to dry; then unil tuem to the clap

Forest Air.
There Is a general impression tbnt
ihe humidity of the a'r Is greater In
the woods than in the open fields.
This Is contradicted, however, by tho
result of observations mod-; In Ger
many. It wa found there that the
humidity, both relative and absolute,"
was slightly greater in the open than
In the woods, and this was true equal
ly In the morning and In the after
noon. As to the temperature of the
air among the trees, it was a trifle
higher than In the open In the morn
ing and In a more marked degree In
the afternoon.
A Comparison.
. Thomas Sheridan, the father of Lady
Dufferlrr, once displeased his father,
who. remonstrating with him, exclaim
ed, "Why, Tom, my father would nev
er have permitted me to do such a
thing:' "Sir." said hi Bon in" a tone
of the greatest Indignation, "do you
presume to compare your father to my
father?"
