A Hot One.
I»rd Silliboy—l was—aw —gazing
Into the open fireplace, you know,
when she aw—came In and offered a
penny for my thoughts, don’t you
ftnow.
Miss Knutting—How extravagant of
her.
Being Fitted.
“She is being fitted for the stage/’
“Studying hard, I suppose?”
“Oh! no. Just being fitted with the
necessary gowns.”
The Young Housewife.
A quartet of market men had gath
ered in the Faneuil Hall market and
were discussing the probable famine
In butter, when a pretty young woman,
whom they adjudged to be a new
housewife, Interrupted the convention
by the statement that she had come
to buy some butter."
“I wish to get three pounds," she
■aid.
"Roll butter, ma’am?" the individual
in charge of the butter and cheese
stall asked politely.
“No,” answered the shopper prompt
ly, “we wish to eat it on toast; we
seldom have rolls."
The Only One.
There came a time when ideas were
all on a paying basis and commanded
a price In the open market. Then.it
was that one arose and,cornered the
market and placing the ideas In cold
storage calmly waited the result.
Thereupon a great hubbub was
raised.
“What shall we do without ideas?”
asked a young and ambitious politi
cian. who been in power long
enough to know the ropes.—Lite.
Well Paid.
A lively-looking porter stood on the .
rear platform of a sleeping car in the
Grand Central Station, when a fussy J
and choleric old man clambered up i
the steps. He stopped at the door, I
puffed for a moment, and then turned i
to the man in uniform. i
• Porter,” he said, “I’m going to Chi- I
cagi. I want to be well taken care
of. I pay for it. Do you understand?” I
“Ires, sir; but ” !
“Never mind any ‘buts.’ You listen
to what I say. Keep the train-boys
away from me. Dust me off whenever
I want you to. Give me an extra
blanket, and if there is any one in
the berth over me, slide him into an
other. I want you to ”
“But, say, boss, I ”
“Young man, when I’m giving in
structions I prefer to do the talking
myself. You do ns I say. Here is a
two-do liar bill. I want to get the good
of it. Not a word, sir.” #
The train was starting. The porter
poclcetvd the bill with a grin, and
swung himself to the ground.
“All right, boss!” he shouted, “You
can do th’ talkin’ if you want to. I’m
powerful sorry you wouldn’t let me
tell you—but I ain’t goin’ out on that
train.”

Sheet from a Farmers* “Want Book.”
Few farmers have a definite idea
of the total amount of money Invested
In farm machinery. If you were to
ask John Smith how much his farm
machinery was worth he would be un
able to answer you. He would proba
bly tell you that the different Imple
ments cost so much and that there
Were a number of repairs for BeveraJ
Of these. That these Implements were
so many years old, and were probably
Worth only about half of what they
were at first. Possibly he had bought
some of these second-hand, and had
never kept any record of the money
Invested In farm machinery.
Farming being a business, should be
run on business principles, If one Is to
know where he Is making or losing
money. So with the machinery the
first cost and repairs should be re
corded and a strict account kept of all
labors involved In the up-keep of the
different-farm machines. This can
only be done by regular business meth
ods. The operator of the small farm
may feel that this Is not Important, and
from his point of view It may not be.
Yet actual experience shows that un
less some records are kept In operat
ing a farm It Is extremely difficult to
How to Keep a Record of Cost and Repairs of Different Farm Implements
by Means of a Card System.
know on what money Is being saved
and made.
To keep farm machinery In repair Is
no Binall Item, and frequently time lost
In being delayed during a busy period
while waiting for repairs Is the cause
for a still greater loss. The time loss
In many cases might be done away
with If more care was exerted in over
hauling the machinery during the win
ter season, when farm work is some
what slack. Many farmers make a
practice of making sorno repairs dur
ing the winter, but there Is a greater
majority who never feel that It Is
worth while to spend time to do such
work, but believe they will have time
enough In the spring or before It Is
time to use the machine again. As a
rule, the work Is not done until the
machine or implement should be In
the Held, which ought not to be the
case. The repairing, to bo done at
the least expense and loss of time
should be done In the winter, or at
least most of It. There are some im
plements that one might find difficult
to repair, especially in some of the
machinery sheds which are found on
farms.
With a good machinery shed and a
work shop at one end where a stove
could be set up to take the chill from
the air, this work might be handled
very nicely with little If any discom
fiture, even In the coldest weather.
A "want book” and r. box of ship
ping tags should be a part of the
equipment of the farm office. In the
book should be made a notation of the
worn or broken part, and with it the
letter and number, thus: "For the
grain harvester, binder driver dog H.
350.”
A shipping tag with letter and num
ber should then be attached to the
part to assist in quickly locating when
repairs are to be put in place. The
same holds true with reference to
bolts. When housing the machinery
you may not have the proper bolts on
hand, but the “want book” and tags
will furnish the necessary Information,
as, “One machine bolt 2V6 inches by
% inches.” This, with others which
may be required, may be purchased In
one order, which will probably result
In a saving of one-half.
While this system may seem at first
thought somewhat cumbersome, a
glance at the suggested sheet will
show that It wll In the end save time
and money, and at the same time dis
pense with worry and aggravation at
a very busy season of the year.
When the repairs and special bolts
have arrived, take them with an extra
supply of bolts, nuts and split cot
ters and a kit of tools. Proceed with
the work as occasion permits, and In
a short time all of the home work Is
completed. The work usually done at
the village shop should be noted and
the list left In a convenient place so
that no extra time Is required In lo
cating It and arranging for the work.
Some farms are fortunate enough to
have their own shop, and where such
conditions exist It Is not necessary to
take the plow shares to the village
for sharpening, but this and many oth
er kinds of such work can be done at
home. The large farms having great
er requirements will naturally require
more machinery, so that the one In
charge of the machinery should not
lose sight of the fact that a large sup
ply of common repairs is better than
to be out half of the time, thus caus
ing unnecessary delays In the farm
operations.
The stock of duplicate parts to be
ordered should be for sickle sections,
for mowers and binders, also sickle
heads and pitmans for the mowers.
Rivets, wearing plates, ledger plates,
guards, etc., or any such list ns seems
necessary to prepare for the neces
sary farm machines. Any one who Is
at ail Interested In farm machinery
should be able to devise some plan
which would greatly facilitate the
handling and repairing of the farm ma
chinery.
To Insure the greatest efficiency
of plow, cultivators and all such Im
plements, It Is a good plan to cover
the face of the moldboards and shov
els with a good grade of heavy ma
chine oil or a fair grade of hard oil.
This treatment will keep the wearing
surfaces free from rust, so that the
extra work of scouring these Imple
ments In the spring will be done away
with. To get the greatest returns for
money Invested in farm Implements
one must have as few delays as pos
sible.
In keeping before you the firßt cost
and repairs of the different farm Im
plements, a few cards as here shown
will be of great help. In this way you
can quickly find how much your wag
on, mower, or any implement has cost
since it was purchased. The deprecia
tion can also be more quickly calcu
lated, and In many ways this will as
sist iu determining the gross earnings
of the farm each year. This card sys
tem might be carried still further by
adding to it a double column at the
right, the extra column showing the
amount of work or the value of the
work done with each Implement. This
is shown on card describing gang
plow.
The scheme described here Is not
entirely new, as some farmers are
using methods which in some ways
are similar, but the card system and
day book are much handler and moro
economical.
82 MEN KILLED
IN VIRGINIA MINE
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION SNUFFS
OUT LIVES OF COAL MINE
WORKERS.
ONLY ELEVEN ESCAPE
DISASTER OCCURRED' AT JED
MINE, NEAR
' BLUEFIELD.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Bluefield, W. Va. —Eighty-two men
were killed by a gas explosion in the
Jed Coal & Coke Company’s mine at
Jed, W. Va., about six miles from here.
Only eleven men escaped alive, and
one of these died within an hour after
being brought to the surface.
Thirty-three bodies have been locat
ed and the rescuers hope to have
them out shortly.
When the explosion took place prob
ably the eleven men working at the
foot of the shaft had a chance for
their lives. They readily made their
way up the cages, which were not
damaged. Though some of the blades
of the fans were shattered they con
tinued to operate, with the result that
enough air was present to admit
searching parties immediately.
Less than half an hour after the
news of the explosion had been com
municated to this place relief meas
ures were in order. Oxygen helmets
and other appliances were rushed from
the plant of the United States Coal &
Coke Company, a United States Steel
Corporation mine nearby; a govera
ment mine rescue car en route to
Huntington, W. Va., was turned back
on telegraphic orders from Washing
ton and another car was started from
Pittsburg. The -experts immediately
conceded that all in the mine were
dead
State mine inspectors organized res
cue parties and began the exploration
of levels. As the gases were cleared
out and they began searches of the
lower levels, they began to come upon
the miners, killed almost instantly.
Other mines nearby sent experienced
foremen to lead hundreds of volun
teer rescuers who flocked to the scene
as the news spread about the country
side.
The mine was inspected recently
and pronounced safe.
Preliminary investigations have not
divulged the cause of the explosion.
Some local mine men are inclined to
regard it as a physical phenomenon.
Barometers in this vicinity have
been showing unusually low readings
tor the last week without the usual
atmospheric changes.
The families of the dead find them
selves in sore straits. Work has been
slack at the mine. Outside aid will be
asked.
Three Killed; Militia Called For.
Rock Island, 111.—Three persons
were killed and nine injured when the
police fired into a mob that attacked
the police station as a result of the
riotous conditions that have prevailed
for the last few days. The sheriff
telegraphed to Governor Deneen for
militia to quell the disturbance and
help the police in maintaining order.
The mob gathered following addresses
by two sympathizers with John Loon
ey, publisher of the News, a weekly
newspaper which printed an attack on
the mayor. Police officers were
Jeered when they admonished the
crowds to disperse and go to their
homos peacefully.
Taft Wins in New York Primaries.
New York. —State wide Republican
primaries for delegates to the Repub
lican National convention at Chicago
resulted in the election of organization
candidates in practically every district
where there was a contest, according
to unofficial returns, fairly complete in
many instances, at a late hour. Claims
that at least S 3 of tho 90 delegates
will be for Taft and not more than
seven for Roosevelt were made by
State Chairman Barnes and John W.
Hutchinson, director of the eastern
branch of the National Taft bureau.
Missouri Town Inundated.
Keokuk, la.—The town of Gregory,
Mo., twelve miles south of Keokuk, is
reported to have been inundated by
the Mississippi 'river which rose out of
its banks between Alexandria and
Gregory. Houses are floating down
the river and people are fleeing from
the town.

all of which the host pointed out with

"What kind of cripples,” was asked.
"Financial,” was the reply, as the
