President Taft, through SecretaryKnox, cabled this ultimatum to Presi-dent Gomezt

"Under the exigencies of the situa-tion arising over the failure of theCuban authorities to take effective ac-tion for the protection of Americanlife and property the commandant atGuantanamo naval station has beencompelled to land four companies ofmarines. This action has been takenas a measure of protection only andnot for the purpose of putting .downthe insurrection,-which is clearly theduty of Cuba. '_

"Four large war vessels will forth-with be sent from Key West to Guan-tanamo to be in readiness in case thesituation should unfortunately demandadditional forces for the same purpose.

"It is hoped that these measures willat once awaken the Cuban Govern-ment to the necessity of promptly andadequately meeting and dischargingits duties andTesponsibilities, and you•will-vigorously impress upon tb.3 Presi-dent of Cuba that a continued failureon the part of his government ade-quately to protect life and propertywill inevitably compel this Govern-ment to intervene in Cuba under andin response to its treaty rights and obligations."

Fred Clarke Defends Ty Cobb'sAction in New York.

Assault on Spectator Fn Grand StandDuring Game Will Have Good Ef-

fect on Cowardly Fans, AddV .Pirate Leader.

«j _ _ _ _

- Fred Clarke, manager of the,Pitts-burg Pirates, defends Ty Cobb for hisaction in resenting Insult by a NewYork fan, and declares that the De-troit star should never have been sus-pended •witho'ut an investigation intothe merits of the case. .•'••• : •

"A ball player has home, loved onesand feelings that are sacred just aswell as any other man. Cobb did bnly_what any self-respecting man will do.

"They tell me that, the man Cobbattacked is a cripple and that he. hasno hands. No sane man will believethat Cobb took advantage over a crip-ple. He probably never noticed thatthe fellow had no hands, and, whatis more, he probably didn't care. Acripple should not make remarks ofthe kind.

"I have always tried to protect myown and visiting ball players on myh>me grounds. A ball player, like apoliceman, earns his salary by theabuse he must bear, but the ball play-er gets cowardly abuse from cringingsneaks against whom he seldom isable to get back.

"Nobody on the outside realizes'theterrible, things that Hans Wagner hasendured in his time. They alwayspick on the stars.

"The same is the case with MartyO'Toole. There is a clean and re-spectable boy who, like any decentman, has feelings. No man could in-sult him within his reach and getaway with it. All the same, he hasbeen obliged to; endure .some of thiscontemptible stuff that made Cobblose his head, or, I should say, do thevery proper thing and resent the in-sults. .

"The whole thing is a bad mess, Iadmit.' It is a three-cornered affair,with the,American league and its dis-cipline on one side, the public on theother- and the ball player and thefeelings he holds sacred on the other.

"I don't know anything about thisstrike by the Detroit team, but I doknow that Ban Johnson or no one

else has the right to punish or sus-.pend Cobb without first investigatingthe matter.

"Action like that by Cobb may havea bad effect on baseball, but I amsure that thex do not have nearly asbad effect as the presence in'" ballparks of the kind of cowards whomake a ball player do such things.

"Maybe Cobb's action will silencesome of this class. For seventeenyears I have seen ball players sufferunder dirty abuse from some comfort-ably concealed fan.

"Wagner has borne enough, of it todrlv«, fifty ordinary men crazy, and Iguess stars like him and Cobb arethe ones who are always picked outby such fellows. I hope to see Cobbreinstated and an investigation made."

Talk of a Player's Union.Officials of the American Federation

of Labor will make an effort to "union-ize" baseball as a result of the"strike" of the Detroit Tigers. "Should1

the players file application for a char-ter," said Secretary Morrison of theFederation, "the matter would be re-ferred to the executive committee foraction. It would determine whetherbaseball players should be admittedinto the Federation. There is how-ever, a question of doubt in my mind.We protect the wage earner, andwould have tp consider the classifica-tion of the players. It depends onthat decision. Arethey to be classedwith doctors, lawyers, scientists andprofessionals, or with the wage earn-ers?"

A PIRATE AMONGREAL STORIES FROM

CAPTAINEditor s Note—Capt. George B. Boynton died a

few months ago In Brooklyn. He served, all told,under eighteen flags ai:d hia life has furnishedmuch material for fiction. This Is a.story of sometime a d v e n t u r e s t o I d by himself for the tlrstme.

T was In the summer of 1874that I made my first plungeinto piracy, for, with all of thetrimmings and aids 'to decep-tion stripped away, that waswhat it really amounted to. Idid not know into just what Iwas being led wheff^I em-barked'in this new enterprise,but I am frank to say that itwould have made no difference,for a free translation of the .

word "piracy"-is "adventure of the first order," ;and that was what I was looking for.

Prank Norton, who had interested me in theChina sea, said we would need- the Leckwithand two ships to carry on the business to thebest advantage, so I selected the Surprise, anAmerican brig, and the Florence, a topsailschooner, both stout, fast ships. I-put Lorea-sen on the Leckwith as sailing-master, GeorgeBrown on the Surprise, and old Bill Heatheron the Florence. The Surprise took on a gen-eral cargo for Japan and was ordered to ren-dezvous at Hong Kong, while the Florenceloaded for Singapore. Norton and I followed in

..the Leckwith.We reached Singapore more than a month

ahead of the Florence. Our scheme was • to 'prey on the pirates who infested the Chinasea, and particularly that part of it lying be-tween Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo, which

. was dotted with islands and beautifully suitedby nature to their plundering profession, andmany were the good ships that ended theircruises there, along with their passengers (andcrews. The British government had been try-ing for years to put an end to their operations,tout the undertaking was a gigantic one. It waanot until years after that it was officially an-nounced that piracy had been suppressed, andpiracy is still being carried on, even to this•day, though in a small and desultory way.

The chief of a large section of the Chinesepirates was old May Sen. a rich Chinaman wholived in a handsome home in Canton and posedas a peaceful trader.

Norton argued that the pirates were boundto keep on robbing and burning and murderingin spite of anything we could do, and that wecould derive plenty of excitement and largeprofits by robbing them. Incidentally, he con-tended we would put a lot of them out of busi-ness for good and all, thus contributing to theend desired by all nations.

It was arranged that I should pose as Dr.Burnet, a rich English physician who was cruis-ing in his private yacht for his health. TheFlorence and Surprise were to carry somegeneral cargoes from port to port among theislands, but wero so to.shape their cruises thatwe could keep closely in touch with them.They were to be given large crews and soheavily armed-as to be safe from piratical at-tacks. The Leckwith was to do all of the prey-ing on the pirates, and the loot we took from

• them was to be turned over to the other shipsat the meeting-places. It was arranged-thatthe bulk of our loot should be sent to a firm ofChinamen at Singapore, who- dealt largely indishonest cargoes.

With the -Leckwith's bunkers stuffed with ,coal, we headed for the islands in search ofpirates.

Our first experience was a profitable one. Whennear the "hunting grounds" we lowered thesmokestack, got up our canvas and sailedalong, awaiting developments. We were get-ting in among the islands when we met a bigjunk which had just looted and scuttled a rich-ly laden Brazilian barkentlne. We made a pre-tense of trying to get away, but in reality weeased our sheets to hasten matters along. Whenshe was close astern of us, with the windabeam, we luffed up, got out guns ready foraction in a jiffy and, as we crossed her bows,raked her fore and aft with our carronades,which weie loaded almost to the muzzle with6lugs and nails.

Taken completely by surprise and with morethan- half of their number littering the red-dened deck, the pirates were panic-stricken.Before they could regain their senses we cameabout again and gave them another broadside,which put them at our mercy. As we rangedalongside, keeping up a rifle-fire, but disdain-ing any further use of our guns, they managedto launch a couple of boats, and all who couldget into them pulled for the nearest Island.We took out of the junk fully one hundredthousand dollars' worth of specie, silk, tea,porcelain and drugs, and then set fire to her,leaving her to bury her own dead.

After that easily won victory we trappednnri- and sank half a dozen proas anfl feluccastn the same way, though with more "spiritedresistance in some cases.

We had turned our cargo over to the Flor-ence, along with a number of wounded men,and were back among the islands, when earlyone evening a full-rigged ship hove in sight.She passed us, but was not more than sixmiles away when we saw flashes that told usshe had been attacked, and we lost no time ingoing to her assistance.

As we closed in we saw a Malay felucca oneacuTiiic. of her and the pirates swarming on

. her decks, with the crew putting up a bravefight. Running the Leckwith up on her star-board quarter, we threw our men aboard andthey went at the pirates' savagely from therear. I led the boarding party.

The Malays outnumbered us more thnn twoto one, but we went at them with a fury thatwas new to them and were slowly forcing themback, toward their one good boat—wo hadsmashed the other one to bits when weslammed alongside—when a beautiful whiteyacht came tearing up on the port quarter andsent three boatloads of men to our assistancein smart style. They clambered over the bowsunder command of a stockily built young officerwearing what looked, like the uniform »of anaval captainyand " we had the 'pirates be-tween us. /

I understood later, when I learned who andwhattBey were, why these • re-enforcements,Instead of discouraging the Malays, causedthorn tt- light with renewed desperation, but

they could not withstandour combined rush, andthe last them soon wentover the side into theirproa, which drifted awayInto the darkness whenthey cut her loose. How-ever, In the last few min-utes of fighting, theyoung_Brltish-..offlcer, asI took him to be, sus-tained a savage cut inhis right shoulder, andafter we had laid asideour dead and given ourwounded rough attentionI was surprised to re-ceive an ' inquiry fromhim as to whether wehad a surgeon on board.Taking him aboard theLeckwith, I dressed hiswound on-thH cabin table.I then saw that his uni-form was that of a captain, but not of a navalofficer. He told me bis name was Deverell, butwhen I asked him the name of his ship he an-swered evasively, and I had learned the waysof the China sea too well to presa the question.

At Singapore, where we discharged our cargo,our agents reported that Moy Sen was- vowingvengeance on us for the loot we had wrestedfrom him and the havoc we had spread amonghis - fleet. We worked our way back to therendezvous and, after consulting with Norton, Itook my interpreter, Ah Fen, who was half"ChinkJ^ a*d half Malay, from the Leckwithand went to Hong Kong on the Surprise to seeJust what was going on.

"The1 Beautiful White Devil," a woman pirate,whom I at first regarded as a purely fancifulbeing, came into my life, on this visit to HongKong In the early day of 1876.

White waiting for Ah Fen's report I lounged. around the hotel. Soon I began to hear weird

stories of a woman pirate who, while never mb-lesting.-honest merchantmen, preyed merciless-ly and successfully on the Chinese and Malaypirates, just as Norton and I were doing.

It occurred to me at once that If such a wom-an really did exist it might have been her shipwhose captain I had attended, but I could notmake myself believe the tales that were toldme.

Then a man called at my hotel one eveningand asked if an English physician was stoppingthere, and I recognized Captain Deverell, buthe was as formal as a stranger, and I did notindicate that I knew him. He asked If he couldconsult with me and I took him to my room,where he assumed a much more cordial air.

. ."I called," he said, "to Invite you take acruise with me so that wo may get better ac-quainted and I can show you my"appreciationof your kindness."

I packed my bag and turned it over to a manwhom Deverell summoned from the street.

I was given the cabin of the surgeon, whohad died recently. Deverell took me to hisroom and we talked until midnight.

It was considerably after eight bells beforeI retired, but my sleep was not long, or heavy.At breakfast time Deverell, wearing a smartuniform, escorted me aft to the private quar-ters of the queen.

In a moment the queen appeared. As sheparted" the curtains and paused in the doorwaywith an air of diffidence, I was transfixed byher marvelous beauty.

"I already know Dr. Burnet," she said, asshe swept toward me with superb grace and in-finite charm of manner and extended her hand,small and soft.

"We are headed for my retreat," she explain-ed. "I should like to have you stay with us aslong as you can. I will put you down in HjongKong or Singapore on three or four days' no-tive."

I assured her the prospect was delightful.On the afternoon of the third day out from

Hong Kong we ran .into a group of islands, oftto the eastward of the regular course to Sing-apore. Just as dinner was announced a -flagwas waved from" the"bridge and I made out ananswering signal on the steep side of a smallisland just ahead of us, but could see no signof either a landing or an opening. Then a mes-senger brought word that the queen was wait-ing dinner for me. The ship slowed downwhile we were at dinner and finally the screwstopped. Immediately the queen led the wayto the deck.

"This," she said, "Is my kingdom—without"-a king. Isn't it beautiful?"

I assured her that it was the most beautifulplace I had ever seen, wherein, when daydawned, I found I had not exaggerated. Wewere at the head of an oval lake, perhaps amile and a half long, with mountains risingcrescent-shaped around it. There was a small

. village of English cottages and native huts. Onthree sides of the lake was a narrow beach;the fourth-side, toward the sea, was a perpen-dicular bluff, sixty feet or more high. I search-ed It for the passage through which we1 hadentered the laUfe, but nothing could I see buta bare wall of dark rock. The queen smiledat my perplexity. "Walt until tomorrow," shelaughed. "We will go ashore at sunrise."

She appeared with the sun, accompanied by aDyak woman whom"!' had not seen before, and

lage, which was a model of neatness, and onup a winding path for neatly a mile, when asharp turn around a flank of the mountainbrought us to a large bungalow—the palace ofthe queen.

While breakfast was being prepared shemade herself more beautiful by changing herdress of European style for a native costumeof flowing silk so' becoming that I wondered ather ever wearing anything else. After break-fast she looked down at the little town and farout to sea in silence for a long time and thentold me the story of her life.

Her name, she said, was Katherine Crofton;her father one of the younger branches of afamily headed by a baron. Her father was alieutent-commander in the British navy, andto prevent an accident he disoboyed the orderof an incompetent and arrogant superior officer.In a quarrel that followed, her father knockedhis superior down and otherwise abused him,for which he was court-martialed and dis-missed.

"My father "was a high-spirited, man,'.' shecontinued, "and his "disgrace embittered himagainst England and everything English. Hesoon Iei't home, and "when we next heard fromhim he was In Hong Kong. When I was aboutfifteen, he.wrote mother and"me to take a P. .& O. ship for Singapore, where we would findfurther Instructions. When we got there fatherwas waiting for us on a handsome yacht, theQueen.. I am still using her. He brought us toto this island, where he had established a smallsettlement and built a warehouse and a ma-chine shop for repairs. He had taken greatpains to make his rendezvous secure from dis-covery.

"When I was not much older than nineteenfather and mother were taken desperately ill,and he called me into his room and made aconfession. He said that in his hatred of theBritish he had turned pirate'and had been forall those years preying on ships flying the flaghe despised. He had also, occasionally, wagedwar on the native pirates and taken their lootfrom them, which, explained why he had fre-quently come In with wounded men on board,and he made me swear'that if he died I wouldcontinue .the work he had begun. He told meI could rely on Frank Deverell, his chief officer,whom he said he hoped I would some day mar-ry,"—this last with just a trace of sarcasm."My father died the next week and my motherthree months later.

"That was four years ago. I have kept theoath, but the fulfillment has brought me in-creasing misery. My attacks on the Britishflag have been few^-in fact, I have given timelyassistance to many more English ships than Ihave robbed, and hundreds of their passengersand crews owe their lives to me. but I havepreyed on the natural pirates of these waters-as ardently, perhaps, as did my father."

After1 luncheon the queen and I set off towardthe mountain-top, nearly one thousand feetabove us, but we did not reach it, for the heatwas intense.

"Well, what do you think of u; now?" sheasked, on our way down, after I had told herhow. .1 had spent the forenoon.

"I think enough of you to devote my wholelife to your service!" I'quickly replied.

When I came back to dinner she was waitingfor me In her bower. As she came to meet meand extended her hand she said, earnestly andalmost sadly: "I believe you were honest andsincere in what you said this afternoon, but Ican only say 'Thank you.' What you suggestedIs impossible." ,

In the three weeks that followed I urged mylove upon her with all of my determination, butshe refused to change her decision and ap-parently was a firm in it as she' was at first.It was agreed that we should both give uppiracy, but all of our arguments ended thereuntil finally, one afternoon, as wo sat lookingout over the. sea and talking of the ordinaryaffairs of life, she said, slowly and emphatic-ally", "Deverell was my father's right-handman.

There was nothing to do but faj.1 in with herplan.

I knew about where to find the Florence. Wepicked her up In a few days and I boarded hermade sail to meet the Leckwith at the ren-dezvous. Kate went on to Singapore, whereshe took the next ship for England. Sixmonths later I received word that she had diedsuddenly there, before she had applied for apardon, and the course of my life was changed

When I rejoined the Leckwith, I told Norton jsimply that I had been away on strictly private 'business. A day or two later I told him I haddecided to sell the Florence and Surprise andquit the business we were In. Norton, dum-founded, advanced many arguments againstsuch a course, and finally he lost his temper."It may be," he sjggested sneeringly, "thatthis is due to the fact that Moy Sen hasthreatened to exterminate us. If *ou don'twant to fight the old scoundrel why don't yousay so?"' That dart struck a tender spot. I would be

the last one to quite under a threat or underfire, and Norton kne"w it. "Far from runningaway from a fight of that kind." I told Norton,"i should much rather run into It. We willcruise around awhile to see whether the Chink-ies really mean to give us battle. But it is the•sport of it that I want and nothing else, for ifit comes off it will be a great fight."

Nothing happened.for ten days or two weeks.We Eaw several junks which we could easilyhave stood up and robbed, but I would not per-mit it. Thenr late one evening an enormousjunk appeared suddenly from behind an Island.She' appeared to carry only a small crew, butwhen we came together it seemed to me fora moment that she had more Chinamen Qnboard than I had ever seen before at one time.

. Suddenly she swung to starboard and wouldhave smashed into our bow if we had not gonefull speed astern. As she passed under ourbowsprit she threw a grappling-iron whichcaught on our port bow.

We lit. our battle-lamps so that they Illu-minated our deck, where we preferred to fightbecause we knew every foot of it.

It was such a fight as one gets into only inyears, perhaps only once in a lifetime. Thebutchery was dreadful, but the excitement ofit set one's blood ablaze. There was not apirate left alive on the junk or on our owndeck.

Before we had time to congratulate ourselvesor count noses, we tjiscovered a big steameralmost on top of us. It was the Ly-ce-moon, theflagship of Moy Sen's fleet, and, though we didnot know it, the old pirate chief himself was incommand of her.

The result ^ ^ s a repetition of what had oc-curred with '(ne crew of the junk, but it re-quired much longer to accomplish it.

Gradually, but slowly at first, we got theupper hand of them.

It was broad daylight by ..the time we hadthrown overboard the last of the dead China-men and washed down the decks, after givingour own badly wounded men such attention aswas possible under the conditions. We thoughtfor a time that Moy Sen had escaped, but wefound him, almost chopped to pieces, close tothe after-whcelhouse, with three of our menbeside him.

On the Ly-ce-moon wero two teak chests,filled with gold and silver coin and Ingots, sil-verware, jewelry and precious and semi-preci-ous stones of the Oriental variety, apparentlyrepresenting'the most .valuable1-portions of sev-eral stolen cargoes, and these I-allowed to betransferred to the Leckwith, in preference tothrowing them overboard,

Tt then became a question as to what weshould do with Moy Sen's ships. We com-promised the difficulty by scuttling the Junkand putting a crew aboard the steamer. Wewent to Singapore, arriving there in the earlypart of 1876, as I remember It, to close up ourbusiness, and sold the pirate..ship to ourChinese agents for a third of what s"he wasworth. We also sold to them, for a small partof Its value, the loot we had taken from her,but a!l of that money was divided up betweenNorton and the crew. I held to my promiseand touched none of It.

I left the China sea behind me and neverhave returned to it.

After a fruitless expedition after buriedtreasure in Corea, we sailed for Shanghai andfrom there for London.

Oddities of Justice.That the whole theory of penal

codes is practically unsound and op-posed to the modern conceptions ofthe relation of the state to crime, isthe contention of Eugene Smith of theNew York bar, writing in the Maynumber of Case and Comment, thelawyers' magazine. Illustrating theabsurdity and disparity between pen-alty for crimes in different states,Mr. Smith says: "The average sen-tence for perjury in Florida is tenyears, in Maine one year; for larceny,in Delaware ten years, in the Districtof Columbia ten months; the penaltyfor arson in Pennsylvania is twicethat of burglary, but in Connecticutthe guilt of burglary is twice that ofarson; the guilt of counterfeiting inOhio is twice that of perjury, but inRhode Island the guilt of perjury istwice that of counterfeiting.

FARM

Use only dairy cows.

Dock the' lambs early. _ \

Don't be slow about spraying.

Chickens devour many insects.

Use caution with cottonseed meal.

Move the brood coops every two orthree days.

It is always best to have a system,and stick to it.

Blood-tells with sheep as well as•with everything else.

Persistency is one of the greattraits of the best dairy cow.

One of the worst evils in the or-"chard is the so-called pear "blight."

A milk house aids very much in- theproper care of milk and milk utensils.

Be sure ''the hogs, old and young,have plenty of pure, fresh water todrink.

The best kind of a garden club isa wire net fence to keep out the

•chickens.

For orchard spraying a three-eights or half-inch hose is best, andin lengths of fifty feet.

The grape is one of the surest ofcrops, as after the third year a gen-erous crop may be expected.

Ten acre fruit growers and eggproducers who adhere to modernmethods are making a success..

It will not be necessary for anycorn-belt farmer to go many miles tosee what a silo is like next winter.

Don't get the idea that you cannotobtain satisfactory results from spray-ing just because your neighbor failed.

The hen house that "il whitewashedInside and has clean widows will bemore healthful and attractive tor thefowls.

The heifer calves from parents oflong dairy inheritance are almost sureto equal or surpass their dams in pro-ductiveness.

The sudden change from the warmstable to the night—and damp ground,might prove serious with some of theheavy milkers.

Successful dairying means that it isvital to steer clear of dry cows andIndifferent producers. High, pricedfeeds brings this home.

• Many a..case.oL chick disease .might,be traced to the chilling they so oftenget in transferring the hatch fromthe incubator to brooder.

, The chief value of the manureBpreader lies in its ability to put a thincoating over a large area, and thusproduce maximum results.

The building of a silo is not a specu-. lation by means of which you can get

something out of nothing, but it is agood, sound business proposition.

When done spraying each ,day, runsome clean water through tho pump,to' wash out the" spray mixture andavoid corrosion of the working parts.

Ducks do not like whole grain, butprefer'- soft food. When winter ap-proaches they may be fed twice a day,at night adding animal meal or cooked•meat.

To get a. good, select private eggtrade, make it a rule to put eggs inthe package that are not only strictlyfresh but which were made from pure,sweet food.

The person who raises good stockneed.ha?e no fear about prices. Firstclass fowls always bring good prices,no matter how great the surplus ofordinary stock is.

If the dairymen could come into di-rect contact with the people who eattheir butter there would be less needof discussing the subject of making abetter grade of butter.

Test the spray hose several daysbefore needed for spraying. Try itwith the highest pressure you willuse. If it burts easily or isaks, makethe needed repairs in it, or get a newhose. It will save delays at a crit-ical time.

Soaking cabbage seed in a solutionof one, .ounce of formalin to two andone-half gallons of water for- twentyminutes will be a good start againstcabbage rot. Soil and manures freefrom black rot germs will also benecessary,

Fresh eggs hatch best.

Keep the calf pen clean.

Give the turkey3 free rang**

Sow for a succession in crops.

Little chicks enjoy green feed.* *•Kindness is well repaid in the

dairy.

Go slow with corn to the brood sowsand young pigs.

Dock the lambs early. There is lessshock and no danger.-

Do not sell a pig until it is in bestcondition, or you will lose.

. '• Sows that are to produce fall littersshould be ,bred in May, if possible.

The- wise sheep owner' will neverallow a setback In the growth of thelambs.

Collar boils need.the attention of aveterinarian who can easily removethe cause.

To attain the greatest success indairying, it is necessary to have dairy-bred cows.

Cows are not always to blame forbeing unprofitable. Often the faultis nearer home.

Hens that have been crowded forwinter eggs should, have no placewith the breeders.

The hens find considerable animalfood in the bugs and worms that arebeginning to appear.

Be careful how you breed your coltsand don't be guilty of flooding themarket with misfits.

Some cov;s are like some people,notional, have to be humored to getthem to do their best.

Some cows are so persistent intheir milking habits that it is danger-ous to force them dry.

The successful dairyman endeavorsto raise as much of the feed neededas possible on his own farm.

The smoother the perches the moreeasily they can be kept free from ver-min. And have them movable.

Grasshoppers sometimes inflict in-jury on the young trees by eatingthe tender bark on the small limbs.

As soon as scouring begins, givethe call a teaspoonful of, groundcloves.' One dose is usually sufficient.

The sooner a hen can be turnedloose with her small chicles the betterafter they are able tc run and pick alittle.

Spray your trees whether they havea crop or not. Spraying in off yearsis just as important as in years ofheavy crops.

Calves at the age of three or fourmonths will consume sonu silage ifcare is taken to pick out tbe leafy por-tions for them.

Many small chicks are countedamong those lost because they areallowed to follow the mother through jthe dew-covered grass. |

Make sure of one thing—if .vigor isnot-in . the-stock—that .produced_±hfl_eggs, the chicks will not live and.jthrive as they should.

"Whether eggs are in incubators "orunder hens it will be well to wet them•with water that feels warm to the ihand, on the nineteenth day. , i

As a rule late seeding should be jdeep, in order to strike moistura, and Ithus start the plant ant once on itshandicap race against the season.

The careful farmer who gives hispersonal attention to the making andfeeding of silage and is not satisfiedwith the result is yet to be heard from.

The neglect to keep brooders clean,and to provide clean litter for. chicksto scratch In, is responsible 'for con-siderable mortality amor* babychicks. \ ' -

A sack of cement and three or fourtimes as rcuch sar.d will make aneverlasting base for the separator,and it lengthens the life of the ma-chine, too.

Market the butter often. The fresh-er it is the more it will anneal to yourcustomers and the surer you are ofgetting from 40 to 50 cents a pound forall that you make.

Plan and breed now for early'calvesnext spring. They're the ones thatbring in the money, while their damsare producers of dairy products at aseason when they reach the top inquality and price.

There may bo certain lines of farm-ing In which it is difficult to keep adefinite account of the cost and profit,but dairying is not one of these. Thereis no excuse for ignorance on the partof the dairy farmer.

It requires some degree of courageto thin out lettuce, radishes, beets,•etc., when "the'plants look so sturdy,but older ., plants and larger roots re-quire more soil, and unless they haveit, they will be poorly nourished. Let-tuce should be thinned to four inchesin the rows.

DUCK RAISING IS PROFITABLECapital of $1,000 Will Give. Excellent

Start—Business Requires Careand Watchfulness.

For breeding, ducks and drakes arebetter in their second year.

The duck laying season generallybegins in February and ends in Au-gust, although the Indian Runnerducks ' are credited with being year-round layers.

Hallock estimates that It costs, alltold, 12 cents a pound to raise" ducksup to the market age (ten weeks).This includes the/, cost of feed, help,marketing, eggs, Insurance, etc. Allover the 12 cents is clear profit.From February to May the eggs showthe strongest fertility. " •

John Weber, the well-known duckraiser, in an adaresB^ before thePloughman Farmers' meeting at Bos-ton some years ago, said It one ownsthe land $1,000 capital will give astart in ttie duck business. Such anamount, he said, would be sufficientto cover all expenses, buy two incu-bators, a flock of. about 30 ducks, ahouse for the breeders, a brooding-house and heater, feed boards andwater fountains, wire fencing, etc.Such a plant would keep one manbusy, and the future growth of theplant could be built on the profits.

The point to be remembered andstrictly followed is to begin small,learn the lesson well and use everyeffort to get good results.' This willrequire care, watchfulness and wellapplied business principles. Theduck business is of sucTfanature thatif rightly carried on it is very profit-able, but disastrous if neglected.

Feed before you water.Good food is economy.Oyster shells are not good grit.Too much soft food is not good for

Fine gravel is not the proper gritfor poultry.' They want a sharp ma-terial with which to grind their food.

CHAPTER I.

The Wreck of the Taxicab.The young woman in the taxicab

scuttling frantically down the darkstreet, clung to .the arm of the youngman alongside, as if she were terri-fied at the lawbreaklng, neck-riskingspeed-. But evidently some greaterfear goaded her, for she gasped:

"Can't he go a little faster?""Can't you go a little faster?" The

young man alongside howled as hethrust his head and shoulders throughthe window in the door.

But the self-created taxi-gale swepthis voice aft, and the taut chauffeurperked his ear in vain to catch thevanishing syllables.

"What's that?" he roared."Can't you go a little faster?"The indignant charioteer simply

had to shoot one barbed glare ot re-proach into that passenger. He turnedhis head and growled:

"Say, do youse want to lose me melicense?"

For just one instant he turned hishead. One instant was just enough.The unguarded taxicab seized the op-portunity, bolted from the track, andflung, as it 'were, its arms drunkenlyaround a periectly respectable lamp-post attending strictly to its businesson the curb. There ensued a con-densed Fourth of July. ^SparEsTlew,tires exploded, metals ripped, twowheels spun in air and one wheel,neatly severed at the axle, went reel-Ing down thei sidewalk half a blockbefore it iea.ied against a tree andrested.

A dozen or more miracles coincidedto save the passengers from injury.The young man found himself stand-ing on the pavement with the un-hinged door still around his neck. Theyoung woman's arms were round hisneck. Her hfad was on his shoulder.'It had reposed there often enough,but never before in the street under alamppost. The chauffeur found him-self in the road, walking about on alllours, like a bewildered quadruped.

Evidently some overpowering needfor speed possessed the young wom-an, for even now she did not scream,she did not faint, she did not mur-mur, "Where nin I?" She simply said:

"What tim& is it, honey?" rAnd the ycning man, not realizing

how befuddled he really was, or howhis hand trembled, fetched out" hiswatch and held it under the glow otthe lamppost, which was now bentover in a convenient but disreputableattitude. .' .

"A quarter to ten,- sweetheart.-Plenty of time for the train."

"But the minister, honey! Whatabout the minister?'

The consideration of this riddle wasinterrupted by a muffled hubbub ofyelps, whimpers and canine hysterics.Immediately the young woman forgotministers, collisions, train-schedules-everything. She showed her first signof panic.

"Snoozleums! Get Snoozleums!"They groped about jn the topsy-

turvy taxicab, rummaged among aJumble of suitcases, handbags, um-brellas and minor impedimenta, andfished out a small dog-basket with aninverted dog inside. Snoozleums wasridiculous in any position, but as heslid tail foromost from the wickerbasket, he resembled nothing so muchas a heap of tangled yarn tumblingout of a work-tasket. He was an indignant skein, ani had much to saytwor° he consented to snuggle underhis mi&trfss' chin.

About this time 'be chauffeur cameprowling into view. He v\s too deep-ly stocked to emit any language oftne garage. He was too deeplyshocked to achieve any comment morebrilliant than:

"That mess don't look much like itever was a taxicab, does it?"

The young man shrugged his shoul-ders, and stured up and down tlfelong street for another. The youngwoman looked sorrowfully at thewreck, and queried:

"Do you think you can make it go?"The chauffeur glanced her way,

more in pity for her whole sex than inscorn for this one type, as he mumbled: • "~

"Make It go? It'll take a steamwinch a week to unwrap it from thatlamppost."

The young-man apologized. ,"I oughtn't to have yelled "at you.'He was evidently a very nice young

man. Not to be outdone In courtesythe chauffeur retorted:

"I hadn't ought to have turhed mehead."

The young woman thought, "Whata, nice chauireur!" but she gasped:"ftreat heavens, you're hurt!"

"It's nuttln' but a scratch on met'umb."

"Lend m« a clean handkerchierHarrr-"

The young man whipped out hie re-serve supply, and in a trice it was abandage on the chauffeur's hand. Thechauffeur decided that the.young wom-an was even nicer than the youngman. But he could not settle on._a.wayto say it. So he "said nothing, anagrinned sheepishly as he said It.

The young man named Harry was-wondering how they were to proceed.He had already studied the regionwith dismay, when the girl resolved:

"We'll have- to take another taxi,Harry."

"Yes, Marjbrle, .hut we can't take ittill we get it."

"You might wait here all night wlt*-out ketchin' a glimp', of one," thechauffeur ventured. "I come this waybecause you wanted me to take a-shorf cut." ' , - . . '

"It's the longest short cut. I eversaw," the young man sighed, as hegazed this way and .that. •

The place of their shipwreck was sodeserted that not even a crowd hadgathered. The racket of the collisionhad not.brought a single policeman.They were in a dead world of granitewarehouses, wholesale stores and fac-tories, all locked and forbidding, anafull of silent gloom.

In the daytime this was a big trade-artery "of Chicago, and all day long itwas thunderous with trucks and com-merce. At night it was Pompeii, soutterly, abandoned that the nightwatchmen rarely slept outside, andno footpad found It worth while toset up shop.

The three castaways stared everywhich way, and every which way waspeace. The ghost of a pedestrian ortwo hurried by in the far distance.A cat or two went furtively in searchof warfare or romance. The lamp-posts stretched on and on in both di-rections in two forevers.

In the faraway there was a muf-fled rumble and the faint clang of abell. Somewhere a street car wasbumping along its rails.

"Our only hope," said Harry. "Comealong, Marjorie."

He handed the chauffeur five dollarsas a poultice to bis .wounds, tuckedthe girl under one arm and the dog-basket under the other, and set out,calling back to the chauffeur:

"Good night!""Good night!" the girl called back."Good night!" the..chauiteur echoed.

He stood watching them with the tenjler gaze that even a chauffeur mayfeel for young love hastening to ahoneymoon.

He stood beaming so, till their foot-steps died in the silence. Then heturned back to the chaotic remnantsof his machine. He worked at it hope-lesBly for some time, before he hadreason to look within. There hefound the handbags and suitcases, um-brellas and other equipment. He ranto the corner to call after the owners.They were as absent of body as theyhad been absent of mind.

Ho remembered the street-number

Henry Mallory and Marjorie Newton.

they had given him as their destina-tion. He waited till at last a yawningpoliceman sauntered that way like alonely beach patrol, and, left him Incharge while he went to telephone hisgarage for a wagon and a wreckingcrew. •

It was close on midnight before hereached the number his fares hadgiven him. It was a parsonage lean-ing against a 'church. He rang thebell and finally produced from an up-per window a nightshirt topped by afrowsy head. He explained the situ-ation, and his possession of certainproperties belonging to parties un-known except by their first namesThe clergyman drowsily murmured:

"Oh, yes. I remember. The youngman was Lieutenant Henry Mallory,and he said he would stop here witha young lady, and get married on theway to the train. But they neverturned up."

"Lieutenant Mallory, eh? Wherecould I reach him?"

"He. said he was leaving tonight forthe Philippines."-

"The Philippines! Well, I'll be—"The minister, closed the window

just" in time.

CHAPTER I I .

The Early Birds and the Worm.In the enormous barn of the rail-,

road station stood many strings ofcars, as if a gigantic young Gulliverstabled his toys there and invisiblyamused himself; now whisking thione away, now backing that other in.

Some of the trains were noble equip-ages, fitted .to glide, across the wholemap with -cargoes^ of Lilliputian mil-lionaires - and their Lilliputian ladles.Others were humble - and shabbylinked-up day-coaches and dingysmoking-cars, packed with workers,like ants.

Cars are mere vehicles, but locomo-tives have souls. The express en-.'gines roll in or stalk out with gran-deur and ease. They are like em-perors. They seem to look with scormat the suburban engines snorting andgrunting and shaking the archedroof with their plebeian choo-choo asthey puff from shop • to cottage andback.

The trainmen take their cue fromthe behavior of theii locomotives. Theconductor of a transcontinental nodsto the conductor of a shuttle-trainwith,less cordiality than to a brake-man" of his own. The engineers ofthe Iirniteds look like senators laoveralls. They are far-traveled men,leading a mighty life of adventure.They are pilots of land-ships across,land-oceans. . They have a right to acertain condescension of manner."

But no one feels or shows so much,arrogance as the sleeping car porters.They cannot pronounce "supercili-ous," but they can be it. Their dis-dain for the entire crew of any traiDthat carries merely day-coaches orhalf-baked chair-cars, is expressed asonly a. darkey in a uniform can ex-press disdain for poor white trash.

Of all .the haughty porters that evercurled a lip, the haughtiest by farwas the dusky attendant in the SanFrancisco sleeper oif the Trans-Amer-ican Limited. His was the train oftrains in that whole system. His carthe car of cars. His passengers thesurpassengers of all.

His train stood now waiting to setforth upon a voyage of two thousandmiles, a journey across seven imperialstates, a journey that should end onlyat that marge where the continentdips and vanishes under the breakersof the Pacific ocean.

At the head of his car, with his lit-tle box-step waiting for the foot ofthe first arrival, the porter stood, hishead swelling under his cap, hisbreast swelling beneath his blueblouse, with its brass buttons likerefie.ctions of his own eyes. His namewas Ellsworth Jefferson,.but he wascalled anything from "Poarr-turr" to"Pawtah," and he usually did notcome when he was called.

Tonight he was wondering perhapswhat .passengers, with what disposi-tions, would fall to his lot. Perhapshe was wondering what his Chicagosweetheart would be doing in theeight days before his return. Per-

-haps- he was wondering what his, SanFrancisco sweetheart had been doingin the ijve days since he left her,' andhow she would pass the three daysthat must intervene betore hereached her again.

He had Othello's ebon color. Didhe have Othello's green eye?

Whatever his thoughts, he chattedgaily enough with his neighbor andcolleague of the Portland sleeper.

Suddenly he stopped in the midstof a soaring chuckle.

"Lordy, man, iooky what's a-com-in"."

The Portland porter turned to gaze."I got my fingers crossed.""I hope you git him.""I hope I don't.""He'll work you hard and cuss you

out, and l ie ' won't? give you even aMuch Obliged."

''.That's right. He ain't got a usherto carry his things. And he's gotenough to fill a van."

The oncomer was plainly of Eng-lish origin. It takes all sorts of peo-ple to make up the British Empire,and there is no sort lacking—gloriousor pretty, or sour or sweet. But thiswas the type of English globe-trotterthat makes himself as unpopularamong foreigners as he is among hisown people. He is almost as unen-durable as the Americans abroad whotwang their banjo brag through Eu-rope, and berate France and Italy tortheir innocence of buckwheat cakes.

The two porters regarded Mr. Har-old Wedgewood with dread, as hebore down on them. He was almostlost in the plethora of his own lug-gage. He asked for the San Fran-cisco sleeper, and the Portland porterhad to turn away to smother his gur-gling relief.

- Ellsworth Jefferson's heart sank.He made,a feeble effort at self-pro-tection. The Pullman conductor notbeing present at the moment,_.h.e jp-

•quired:"Have you got yo' tipket?""Of cawse.""Could I see it?""Of cawse not. Too much trouble

to fish it out."The porter was fading. "Do you

remember yo' numba?""Of cawse. Take these." He began

to pile' things on the porter like amountain unloading an avalanche.The porter stumbled as he clamberedup the steps, and squeezed thrcughthe strait -path of the corridor intothe slender ' aisle. He turned againand again to question the invader,but he was motioned and bunteddown the car, till he was halted withja "This will do."

The Englishman selected sectionthree for his. own. The porter ven-tured: "Are you sho' this is 'yo^aum-ba?" "

"Of cawse I'm shaw. How dare youquestion my—"-"I wasn't questionin' you, boss, I

was Just astin' you."(TO BE CONTINUED.')

CHRIST'S WITNESS TO JOHN THEBAPTIST.

LESSON TliXT—Matt. 11:2-19.GOLDEN TEXT—'.'Among- them that

are born of women there Is none- greaterthan John: yet he. that Is little in thokingdom of "God ia greater than he."—Luke 7:28. ' •

This is tho last lesson with the ex-ception .of one. that we are to haveupon the character of John the Bap-tist. Following the imprisonment ofJohn by Herod, Jesus, for diplomaticreasons, made Capernaum his head-quarters, and it wa3 in Galilee that hisgreat popular ministry was performed.Meanwhile John is shut up in the fort-ress at Machaerus, on the east side ofthe Dead sea. For one who had beenso intensely active to be obliged tosit idly by and wait while another'sname and fame increases daily was asevere test of faith. His prototype,Elijah, had to meet a similar testing(1 Kings 19: 3, 4); why, therefore,need we wonder that doubts shouldarise Jn the mind of the greatest"born of woman?" . Not one of us atall familiar with the experiences oflife and the subtility of temptationwill be surprised when under thesecircumstances we read of-John's ques-tion, v. 2-6. This doubt is so naturalthat it bears upon its very face thestamp of being genuine and that therecord was not fabricated. It is no-ticable in the form of John's questionthat he had no doubt as to the char-acter of Jesus, the genuineness of hismiracles, nor any question but that hewas sent of God, but still he ques-tioned, "is this the Messiah ?"

John was not envious (John 3:27-26),he was too great a man to be that,but yet Jesus had not wielded the ax-as he had expected, hence the mes-senger to Jesus and this frank ques-tion. John sets us the good exampleof taking his doubts to Jesus, andJesus in a most tender way answershis doubting and at the same timeturns it to his own advantage in con-firming his. claims as the Messiah.

John Sought Not His Own Glory.The second half of the lesson is the

tribute of Jesus to the life and char-acter of John the Baptist Jesus has,as we have just seen, sent, his word ofcomfort and cheer to John when heturns-to the multitudes with a highlyeulogistic testimony as to John's work,his worth and his greatness^ True, hisfaith seemed to be shaken for the mo-ment, but John was not a "reed "sha-ken of the wind." indeed not .Johnwas not a man seeking his own glory(Luke 3:16) nor his own comfort(Matt 3:1, 4). He was not clad sump-tuously (Luke 7:25). No, John was aprophet, a man sent, commissioned, in-spired of "God." He had authority tospeak for God (Luke 1:16, 26) in de-claring God's will to man. Yes, JohnIs all of this and more, for he was him-self the subject of Old Testamentprophecy (Mai. 3:1, etc.). This Johnwas chosen among all men to go be-fore his face and to prepare a highwayin the minds and hearts of Israel overwhich Jesus the Messiah might enterand hegin the establishing of this newkingdom. ' It was in performing thisservice that John filled one of thehighest offices ever filled by man. Inthis eulogy we need to recall the dif-ference in the miraculous births ofthese two men. John super-naturally born cf natural parentage,Jesus supernaturally born of womanbut conceived of the Holy Spirit, hencethe words of Jesus are to be under-stood that among-purely human beings"none greater was born of woman."

Went to Christ Himself.

Jesus' words in verse 15 are tremen-dous with import. Literally he says:"I hive told you these things aboutJohn and about my kingdom, now youwho lJuve ears have an obligation rest-ing upon you because of what I havetold you." There was need of theirunderstanding and accepting an im-portant teaching, but the unreasonableScribes and Pharisees • would acceptneither the austere John nor the moresocial Jesus. John would not join intheir gaity. Jesus mourned not butled a more joyous lire, yet they re-jected him also. This "Son o£ Man,"not of a man nor the man but son ofman, of humanity, known as friend ofthe needy and the outcast, is himselfcast out by the religious leaders of histime. Nevertheless in the wisdom ofGod (Luke 11:49) both John the Bap-tist, anrt Jesus the Son of man and ofMary, have been sent and the resultsof their lives and of their teachingsprove them to be a part of God's wiseplan. God's wisdom is justified (v.19) by its workings or as some trans-late it by its "children."

Great as was John the forerunner,yet he that is in this newer kingdomJesus came to establish is vastly great-er than the old Hebraism.

One of the six Panama commission-ers was, a few years ago, a cub re-porter at five dollars per week, andduring that time was much perplexedover the problems of the Christian lifeand tormented by his doubts. Foursuccessive nights he discussed the mat-ter, with his pastor; on the fifth,. Jhecame with radiant face to inform hispastor that all his questionings weresettled for, as4d he, "I went to Christhimself."

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED

MTIJions Left by the Late Russell SageAre Being Expended for the Wel-

fare of Humanity.

While the lato Russell Sage was inthe flesh he was one of the most pru-dent, Bhrewd and persistent money-grubbers in Gotham. The astute finan-cier never plunged nor risked anymoney in wild-cat schemes. He wasa "sure-shot" operator in Wall street,and when he died he leTt in the handsof his lone widow a fortune of some-thing like ?75,000,000. Since" becom-ing possessed of this enormous for-tune she has worked as persistentlyand assiduously in scattering themoney as her husband did in gather-ing it. The scriptures tell us thatthe miser is the man that "heaps upriches.and cannot tell who shall gath-er them." Russell Sage knew better,and the good lady upon whose shoul-ders- was imposed the burden of thisenormous sum of money has workedhard in lightening the burden. Herphilanthropies have been productiveof as much wisdom as marked her hus-band's operations in the market. Sheis reported to be failing in health, andher task is only begun. Should shebe taken from the world thousandswill regret her departure, and it isvery 'earnestly to be hoped that fur-ther care of the property will fall intogood hands.

SCALP ITCHED TERRIBLY

"One evening while combing myhair, I noticed a few brown crustlikespots on my scalp and, of course, Ithought it was only a little dust thathad settled there during the \**eek.So I washed my hair thoroughly butI saw that they wouldn't come out.Then at the end of the next week Iwashed my hair again, and to myastonishment I saw not only thosefew but many more had come. Thenmy head became worse and worse, andmy scalp started to itch terribly, sothat I could not sleep nor keep fromscratching my head.

"The crustlike places later openedand made sores which bled, and theyalso itched something terrible. I triedmany remedies but none-Jielped andinstead they made my'head worse.This condition of my scalp kept up fora month, and then one day I met afriend and she advised me to use Cuti-cura Soap and Ointment which I did.In two weeks I was rid completely ofthis trouble, through the use of theCuticura Soap .and Ointment. I amnever without them, for they are mymost highly valued friends." (Signed)Miss Alva Gustafson, 677 Second Ave.,New York City, May 17, 1911. Al-though Cuticura Soap and Ointmentare sold everywhere, a sample ofeach, with 32-page book, will be mail-ed free on application to "Cuticura,"Dept. L, Boston.

The Worm's Way."The Hon. Stephen Coleridge, the

English anti-viyisectionist," said ananti-vivisectionift of Philadelphia, "isdelighted with the recent English vivi-section report, which promises toabolish even the use of the live bait infishing.

"Mr. Coleridge once argued here inPhiladelphia about the cruelty of fish-ing with worms.

" 'Oh,' his opponent said, 'the merefact that a worm writhes and wriggleswhen impaled on a hook is no proofthat it is actually suffering pain.'

"'No, oh, no!' said Mr. Coleridge,sarcastically. 'Beyond doubt that isjust the worm's way of laughing atbeing tickled.'"

The complete story of Printype hasnever before been told. Here it is:

The Real Story ofPrintype

The idea from which "Printype"sprung resulted from the success of ourtype expert in equipping a typewriterused in our offices to write "The OliverTypewriter" in our famous trade-marktype just as the name appears on theoutside of the machine and in all Oliverpublicity. • v

The beautiful appearance and themarvelous clearness of the reproduct-ion of our "ebony" trade-mark type,disclosed the possibilities of equippingThe Oliver Typewriter to write the en-tire English language in shaded letters!

We worked for years on the plan 8ndfinally succeeded in producing, for ex-clusive use on The Oliver Typewriter,the wonderful shaded letters and num-erals known to the world as "Printype."

The Public's VerdictThat the public is overwhelmingly

n favor of Printype is impressivelyshown by this fact:

'Already over 75 per cent of our entireoutput of Oliver Typewriters are uPrin-

The public is demanding Printype inpreference to the old-style type.

Within a year, at the present rate, 90per cent of our total sales will be ilPrin-;ypes."

Thus The Oliver Typewriter, whichfirst successfully introduced visiblewxiting, is again to the fore with an-other revolutionary improvement—Printype, the tyqejhat prints print! . ,

To Corporations:The Oliver Typewriter is used ex-

tensively by great concerns in all thesections of the world.

Our "17-Cents a-Day" Plan is de-signed to help that large class of type-writer buyers who want the sametypewriter that serves the great cor-porations, but prefer tbe easy systemof purchase.

r W. C. T. U. Doings.'•Flower Mission Day" was observed

by the members of the W. C. T. U. onThursday at the home of Mrs. LewisAppleget.

Every white ribboner is familiarwith the history of the beginnings ofthe Flower Mission work, and thestory of Jennie Casseday, whose birth-day falls on June 9. In 1882 the workwas inaugurated, and she became thefirst national superintendent of the

lower Mission department. She con-inued to serve in that capacity until893, when she'was called home. Dur-ng the more than thirty years thatjhe suffered upon a sick bed, she hade'eeived from the flowers given to herinch__cheer and- comfort, and thisrompted her to plan a great blossom-istributing enterprise in which wo-

men in every part of the nation shouldparticipate. When Frances Williardwas in Louisville, Ky., she visitedMiss Casseday in her home, and per-suaded her to accept the position oflational superintendent of the FlowerMission work.

That every floral gift may speak tohe recipient of the Creator of all>eauty, there is attached to each bou->uet that id sent out a Scripture text,ied with a bow of white ribbon. With;he passing years the work has grown,ind through it sick bodies and soulsty the thousands have been ministerednto. Sixteen of these bouquets were
