MIXES METAPHOR.
A Choice Bunch of "Bulla" From the
Houae of Commons.
There is no place like the house of
commons for a "nice derangement of
metaphors." It will be a long time
before we have a "mixture" equal to
the outburst of an effusive orator who
mid, "The British lion, whether it is
roaming the deserts of India or climb
ing the forests of Canada, will not
draw in its horns or retire into its
»hell."
It recalls the famous "bull" made
by Sir William Hart-Dyke, the Union
ist ex-minister, who caused uproarious
laughter in the house of commons one
day by remarking: "The right honor
able gentleman has caught big fish in
bis time. He has gone to the top of
the tree to find them."
Alluding to an item of £2,000,000 in
the army estimates one year, a certain
member described it as "a flea bite in
the ocean," while another, advocating
an increase in the European troops
•mployed in India, remarked, "You
may depend upon it, sir. the pale face
of the British soldier is the backbone
of the Indian army."
An Irish member speaking of suicide
said, "The only way to stop it is to
make it a capital offense, punishable
with death." It was the same member
who assured the house that "as long
as Ireland was silent under her wrongs
England was deaf to her cries," while
it was during a debate on the scandal
of packed juries during the Irish trou
bles that a member in support of the
government exclaimed, "By trial by
Jury have I lived, and, by the blessing
of God, with trial by jury I will die."
There was a wild howl of delight,
too, when some prosy member was
careless enough to remark, "The time
has come and is rapidly arriving,"
which is equal to the cry of the mem
ber who wished a motion was "at the
bottom of the bottomless pit"—Lon

Dr. B. T. Galloway, Famous
Agricultural Expert.

5
Dr. Beverly Thomas Galloway, the
newly elected dean and director of the
New York State College of Agricul
ture at Cornell university, has spent
his entire life in the service of agricul
ture. He began his career as an in
structor in the Missouri State college,
was for many years the head of the
bureau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture and
since 1013 has been assistant secreta
ry of agriculture.
Dr. Galloway was born in 1SC3 in
Millersburg. Mo., his father, a native
of Kentucky, having been one of the
pioneer settlers in the state. After the
civil war the Galloways moved to Co
lumbia, the site of the Missouri State
university. There Dr. Galloway's ca
reer niay be said to have begun.
He began int once to specialize in
plant pathology, a subject in which
only one or two institutions in the
United States were then doing any
work. An offer of the place of assist
ant botanist in the United States de
partment of agriculture he declined be
cause it would have interfered with
these investigations, but when con
gress appropriated a small sum of
money in 1SS7 for the study of plant
diseases he became assistant patholo
gist in the section of mycology. Dr
Galloway found four or live men work
ing with a total appropriation of $ti.000
or §7.000. When he steps out of the
department he will leave behind him
in the bureau of plaut industry nearly
3.000 men engaged in work that costs
nearly $3.0011.000 a year.
In 1913 Dr. Galloway became assist
ant secretary of agriculture, an ap
pointment which was recognized at
the time as entirely devoid of political
significance. Here he again showed
his sympathy with the agricultural col
leges and state experiment stations.
Much of his time, indeed, has of late
been devoted to bringing the depart
ment into closer touch with them. He
is also a strong advocate of instruc
tion by practical demonstration when
ever possible, of *:oing directly to the
farmer with iinformation be needs.

An Aristocratic
Thief
By F. A. MITCHEL
My husband had been appointed
United States military attache at Ber
lin and had gone there some time be
fore me in order to secure a place to
live against my coming. 1 was on my
way there from Paris, traveling ou a
chronicle
flrit class "railway corfcli. Bes'Qe tue
sat a man, and before him sat anoth
er man, the two being evidently travel
ing companions, for they were talk
ing very earnestly in German, a lan
guage«*did not understand. Directly
before me was a vacant seat, on which
1 tossed my hand bag. This was very
careless of uie. for it contained all the
money I had with uie.
I had been up late nights in Paris
and was very tired and sleepy. I fell
into doze and from a doze into a
sound sleep. More than an hour pass
ed before I awoke, and when did I
found that the man who had been seat
ed beside me was the only other per
sOu except myself in tile compartment
He bad changed his seat to one oppo
site me next the window and was
reading a periodical. Xear him lay
my bag. just where 1 hail placed it.
I opened it and looked for my pocket
book.
Xow. I leave it to any woman if she
on awakening from a slumber to tind
she had been rob lied of money from a
bag lying beside a man would not look
up at him accusingly. The man's eyes
were upon me. and my looks told him
that 1 suspected him of stealing the
money 1 had lost just as plainly as it
could have been expressed in words.
He looked frightened and said some
thing to me in German, but he might
as well have spoken in Sanskrit. Then
he tried me in French. I can spealc
a Utile French, but can understand it
scarcely at all. At any rate, I didn't
catch what lie had to say.
The man looked so cut up that I
grew suspicious of him. But why he
had not left the traiu with it while I
was asleep I could only conjecture.
Perhaps the train had not made a stop.
He was not a cool thief by any means,
for without my taking any action
whatever he took out a roll of crisp
bills and said to me in French:
"Combien?" ("How much?") which
I understood was asking me the
amount I had been robbed of. I held
up one finger and said. "Mille francs,"
meaning that 1 hud had 1,000 francs
in my pocketbook. My money had
been brand new. like the notes he held
in his baud, and 1 did not doubt they
were mine. 1 gathered that he pre
ferred to return my money rather than
have me call a guard at the next sta
tion and have hilii arrested. He count
ed the roll in his hand, and it amount
ed to exactly 1.000 francs. Then he
handed it to me, saying something in
French which I did not understand.
I was very glad to get my money
back at all and especially so easily.
When we reached the next station the
thief looked at me anxiously and on
seeing that I made no move to call any
one to arrest him drew a long sigh of
relief. T|iis was the only stop we
made till we reached Berlin, and when
we .rolled into the station and the
coach door was opened by the guard
the raseal jumped out and disappeared
in a great hurry.
Mjr husband bad secured a bouse in
the capital, had engaged servants and
had everything'ready not only for our
comfort, but to enable us to entertain
guests. Of course every one of the
diplomatic corps must do more or less
entertaining, and since 1 brought my
husband a fortune and we were abun
dantly able to bear the expense we
proposed to do our. full share but, of
course, 1 must go through the prelim
inaries of being introduced at court.
All this had been attended to. and
I was a full fledged member of Berlin
society. The first important function
I attended was a state ball at the pal
ace. I was standing talking to a lady
whose husband was a member of the
diplomatic corps when I saw the em
peror coming with a gentleman who
was bedizened with decorations, the
emperor laughing at something the lat
ter was telling him. When they came
near enough for me to distinguish their
features the marrow froze in my bones.
The man to whom the emperor was
listening was the thief who had stolen,
then returned, my money. I shrank
away, but not in time. He saw, me.
and the expression on his face denoted
as much surprise as mine did conster
nation. Then he said something to the
emperor, who looked at me with an ex
pression of aipused surprise. .,
Calling to a lady standing near me.
the emperor and the thief talked to
her. and it was evident that they were
talking about me. Then the three"
approached me. and the lady, after
making the required presentation, told
me that the thief was Count Hein
rich Schmieden, one of the emperor's
most intimate friends. He bail been
telling his majesty of how a lady on a
train had been robbed and bow he
rather than submit to arrest had
paid over the amount stolen. Just as
be had finished the story he espied me.
The matter was considered an ad
mirable Joke by the emperor and. in
deed, by the count, who claimed tliar
he had paid me the money not s*
much through fear of my having him
arrested as the inconvenience I would
be put to at not having any money for
expenses. I doubted his gallantry, but
gave him credit for it. The uext morn
ing my husband sent him a check for
1.000 francs.
The affair resulted in our receiving
considerable attention from one of the
most influential men in Berlin.

Agricultures Notes
In view of the wide distribu
tion of Russian Thistle and
stink-weed
in this locality, it may
be timely to mention a few per
tinent facts about these plants.
Russian Thistle—As this weed
is very well known, it needs no
detailed description. It flowers
from July to September, seeds
ripen itt, August. The seeds are
distributed by the tumbling
plants, which are driven by the
wind, as the seeds do not shell
readily, they are carried a long
distance.
Russian Cactua—As it is some
times called, is a large suculent
weed and thrives where the land
is too dry for other plants. It
thus uses up the moisture where
it is scarcest and most needed. It
is hard on horses, harvesting ma
chinery and binder twine. Rem
edy: Hand pull wherever practi
cable. Harrowing growing crops
is an effective remedy it i3 easily
killed when young by this meth
od. The harrow should be applied
iust before the grain emerges
from the ground and again when
the crop is 3 inches high.
If winter wheat or rye can be
grown, there is little ^difficulty
with Russian thistle, as it is very
suseptible to frost, and plants
started in the late summer will be
seed. Spring crops should nev
er be sown on land that contains
live Russian thistle seed, unless
there is sufficient moisture in the
soil to produce a vigorous and
healthy growth.. Scientific dry
farming, with well tilled summer
fallow or cultivated crop every
third year will conserve the mois
ture in the soil so that the crops
will be strong enough to crowd
out Russian thistle. Work on the
summer fallow should begin
early.
In some of the alfalfa and
clover fields, sown broadcase in
the spring, there is a rank growth
of this weed. These fields should
be mown right now (if possible
at all). This will kill the thistle
and the crop will grow again
next spring, If the weed has
formed seeds it is best to rake it
after cutting and burn it.
French or Stinkweed—French
weed sometimes called Penny
Cress, was originally introduced
from Europe, and is rapidly
spreading over western North
Dakota.
It is an annual or inter annual,
and the plants that remain green
over winter flower shortly after
ihe snow disappears, and seeds
are thus being ripened through
out the whole summer.
The small white flowers are
enly about 1 -8 of an inch across,
but the flat seed pods are very
conspiciou3, being about Yz the
size of a dime and having a dis
tinct notch at the top. The out
er circle of this pod consists of a
kind of wing, while the inner
circle contains 2 rows of 6 or 8
seeds each.
Although the plant usually
grows 1 to 2 feet high, it will
often be found producing seed
while only 2 inches above the
ground. Under good conditions
it produces a rank growth of
leaves, and has a most unplaas
ant smell, somewhat resembling
garlic. When eaten by milch
rows it imparts a disagreeable
flavor
to milk and its product*.
Rcl-nedy Sow clean seed.
French weed belongs to the
mustard family, but being a win
ter annual, the young plants are
perfectly hardy, and need thor
ough cultivation.
Lard infested with this weed
should be plowed and harrowed
as soon as the crop is harvested.
When the weed seeds h?»ve ger
minated in the spring, the land
should be cultivated and harrow
ed so as to destroy the young
plnats when at a tender age.
As soon as the grain is above
the surface,and before the leaves
have their second pair of wings.

a weeder or light harrow should
be used to destroy all weeds
coming up among the grain. If
thi3 is done pomptly, the crop
will then be strong enough to
smother out any fresh weeds
that may start.
