i I il iJ I 11 1I Ii Z\ I) |» i/< t| I I • . “I was very much attracted the othe? day by an advertisement of a moun« I rain retreat in the far west/’ observed | the grain merchant > “I didn’t know that mountains evei ' retreated,” commented the coffee broI ker, “I had an idea that they were of | sedentary habits and that having once . found a place that suited them they ' stayed there. I had a very remarkable I experience, by the way, in the mounI tains out west. I attribute my premature baldness very largely to the mental anguish it occasioned me.” “There were log cabins in the picI ture,” said the grain merchant; “genuine old-time logs with the bark .on, and perched invitingly on the side of I the pine-clad hills. It looked as if there l might be all kinds of game there, aim the rental was quite moderate. I don’t think a little shooting would be a bad thing along in the fall.” ! “It might be,” observed the coffee ! broker. “It was for me. I went our. 1 with the idea of doing a little shooting and for that purpose I took along a smaTk guns and a wagonload of cartridges. The place seemed to me 1 as if it might be infested with game, i but it wasn’t. I could have had more I sport out in the suburbs here. I boarded with a fine, typical old westerner ' named Stogwetter. He lived in one of i these genuine old-time log houses with i the bark on —and, by the way, let me tell you that while they may be ak right from a picturesque point of view, a man whose sam is sensitive to irritation doesn’t sleep comfortably in ’em. They get in under the bark, where the ordinary forms of insecticides can’t reach ’em, except at night; then they prefer the beds. But that hasn’t anything to do with the story. “As I said, there wasn’t any game, and what there was I .planted dow:> there with my batteries. Dear old‘Stogwetter all the time maintained that th; woods were swarming with deer anc that bears wandered over the mountains and through the raspberry patches ’most all the time. He took me out once or twice aiid showed me tracks, but I couldn’t take tracks home with me as trophies of the chase. Finally I got to shooting at condensed 'ihilk cans. It was not exciting sport, but it was ‘better than nothing and it improved my marksmanship. I got co that I could put up a can at a thousand yards, or even farther, and shoot quite close to it at times. “At last my business called me back to Chicago in peremptory tones and I prepared to go. I paid Stogwetter what I owed him, packed my things and left word for the stage to stop for me the next morning. It would not. reach the Stogwetter ranch, however, much before noon and it occured to me tllht I might make a final effort to secure a rug for the library. So I unpacked my elephant gun, filled the magazine with cartridges and started out over the mountain, telling my good old host that I would be back in plenty of time for the stage. I tramped up one hill and down another without scarring up any game, as usual, and.at last I started back, pretty well disgusted. I was within a mile, perhaps, of the ranch when I heard a sudden crackling of dry twigs in a plum thicket ahead of me and, looking carefully, I saw somethigig moving—just a shaggy, grizzled gray patch between the boughs, not much larger than my condensed milkcan, the rest of the creature being hidden in the thick foliage. With wildly beating heart I raised my gun to my shoulder and fired. “A crash followed th„e report and then a groan or two. Then all was still. I ran up, horrifiefi, and found poor old 'Stogwetter lying in the thicket —that is, all of him but the top and back of his head. You may imagine my distress. I was.pretty sure, though, that f could not help him, and I began to think of myself. I was in. a wild and presumably lawless country. It was highly probable that if my late landlord was discovered in this lamentable condition before I got out of it I would play the star part in a lynching bee. and the idea 1 of that was disagreeable to me. I concluded, therefore, that my best course would be to get back to the ranch, take the stage and disappear. Stogwetter lived quite alone and probably would not be missed for some time.- Well, I did that and got safely away. “Just wait a moment while I telephone,” said the grain merchant, ftSIng. /“Oh. it turned out all right. You needn’t trouble,” said the coffee broker. “I’d have given myself up. I think, it preyed on my mind to such an extent —only I happened to meet the stage driver here in Chicago abolit a vear after and he told me that old man StOsovetter had happily recovered from his injuries and was as chipper as ever. “You may imagine I was amazed. J said: “If I had known that I would .have been back there long ago. I was the man who shot him.’ “ ‘Wo reckoned you was.’ he said. '"We knowed it must have been an accident. too. If you’d aimed to hit him. you’d shore have missed.’ “Ilet that remark pass under the circumstances. I said, hbwever, that 1 would consider it a sacred duty to provide for the poor fellow whose brains I had so unfortunately dispersed. “ ‘Thunder!’ said the stage driver. 'He don’t brains. He’s gittiii' along just as well without ’em. He’s provided for all right.’ “ ‘How’s that?’ I asked. “ ‘We made him a jestice of the peace,’ answered the stage driver.’ Chicago Daily News.

NATIONAL AID TOR ROADS. Col. Brownlowkls Sure That the Prospects of His Pet Measure Are i Growing Brighter. Col. Brownlow, of Tennessee, the ploaeer advocate of national aid to road Improvement, has given to the press an Interview in which he discusses the progress and prospects of the good roads movement. He says: “The movement is making gigantic strides. Judging from the letters I receive, nearly everybody in the United States wants the government to aid in improving the roads. I know from the comments of tho press, and the resolutions adopted by state legislatures and conventions in all parts of the country that national aid Is snaking enormous headway aifaong the people. In a recent communication from W. H. Mciore, president of the National Good Roads association, he says: ‘“Everywhere I go governorsand officials and the great mass of common people want the government to assist them in building roads—not as a question of charity, but governmental duty.’ “I have a letter from Prof.- J. HBruner, president of Hiwassee college, Tenn., in which he says: “ ‘Millions have gone for the improvement of harbors and rivers, and millions more will go for canals. But the good work should not stop there. Good roads are needed to get the products of the country to the railways, the rivers, the cities, the outside world. Rural routes for the postal department need improvement. ■»* “‘I am entering my eightieth year. No enterprise of equal importance to this good-roads movement has come before the American people in my day. There is a blessing in it for everybody, in town and country.' ” “But don’t you think, colonel,” asked a friend,“that the proposal to spend such a large sum along an entirely new line of national expenditure will prove startling when the people take a sober second thought?” “That the prepetition is a new one in one senes, I CGnccce. The idea cf appropriating government- fufeds to be spent in the rural cjstrlct-i fcr the direct trenefit of the country people is deciddaly new. Herctdii;:-?. the priiicipnH relation which the farmers have sustained toward the government is that of taxpayers. But I think it is about time for that to eomo to an end, and, if I am not mistaken, the farmers are coming to the same conclusion. “As to the size of the appropriation, i want to say that I think it is very small when compared vJifh the sums we are appropriating for other purposes. This is a period of profound peace; yet we are proposing to vote $77,000,000 for the army and $90,000,000 for the navy t<) be expended in a single year. My bill proposes an appropriation of only $24,000,000, to be spent in three years, or $8,000,000 a year, just one-twelfth of what we propose to spend on our navy. Nobody was particularly startled last year when we appropriated over $70,000,000 for river and harbor improvement. I don’t think the tax-paying farmers will be very badly scared at an appropriation of $8,000,000 to help them build good roads. Besides, they know they will , have to pay just as much tax whether they get any of it back or not. “You can say that, on the whole, I am well satisfied with the progress we have made, and that I firmly believe federal cooperation with the states in building roads is coming, and coming soon.” BREAKING A FURROW COMB. Simple Attachment to Plow by Means of Which Lumps Are Mashed Expeditiously. Follow the plow with a drag before the furrow comb dries. Lumps are easily mashed if taken before they form. A side beam may be easily rigged to' ATTACHMENT TO PLOW. the plow to do the work. A piece of 4x4 (a), hinged or tied with one corner down to the plow beam at b, just behind the answers very well. A light rope (c) should reach back from the doubletree to pull the outer end. Slack away on this rope until the drag slopes back about 45 degrees; it seems to work better that way. The one I use covers three furrows, so each furrow gets dragged three times.—James H. Merrill, in Farm and Home. How One Fanner Prospered. The Sussex (N. J.) Independent tells of a farmer in that county whose check would be good for $20,000. who has never used a pound of feed that was not produced on his farm. He raises all his own live stock, with the exception of horses. ■ If he has net sufficient grain to carry him through, he sells some of the stock and thus keeps up with the game. He sells his milk to a creamery, keeps just : what his farm will support in the way of cows, raises his own pork, and always has a cellar full of necessaries. He has ! ilways farmed in this way, and has never made less than S6OO a year clear in his life. He has always lived on tho same farm. The separator does not need much . oil at a time, but each bearing should .- havfe some oil at each running. An oc- : casional oiling of kerosene will cut the gum and facilitate the smooth, easy runalng of the machine.
