However, it la claimed that a structure of that form exi poses too much silage to the air while feeding, especially in summer. From nine or ten year3 experience and careful reading of current discussions on the subject, I conclude that the silo is best placed in the earth, and as near the animals to bo fed from it as possible. Thus constructed it is less expensive and more durable than one above ground. It also requires less labor to fill it and to feed the silage to took. A building for a eilo and twenty cows should be thirty-six feet- square with a twelve-foot floor midway between two eides and a row of stalls on each side facing the floor. Leave the floor unnailed so that it can be taken up at pleasure. The lilo should constructed under this floor, and may be round, twenty or more feet In diameter, or oblong with long diameter, nearly equaling the length of the floor. But whatever the size or form, its depth should be not less than sixteen feet. The round silo is as well divided into compartments as the oblong. One holding 150 tons occupies much space. If round and thirty foet high, it must be outside the stable. My plan Is to put the silo under the barn, or rather construct the silo first, plac? ing the barn over it. First, set stakes at the corners and draw curved lines for the fides. Outside these side lines make a light wall one foot high. Behind thi3 lay fiat stones for a pavement, or make it of cement. Then commence excavating. The object of the pavement outside the wall is to keep rats from burrowing. As the excavation progresses, plaster the walls with rand and cement. The walls should canverge slightly to the center. If the barn is warm rnough for cows and the central part of the ensilage is used first, cement walls will outlast those of wood. A silo under the lloor can be filled from bDth ends, and then weighted. It m claimed that weighting is unnecessary, but its virtues are admitted by advocates of deep eilos. In this si;o the feel is nearer the stock than in most others. A rope runs over a pulley with two hooks for attaching a one-and-one-half-bushel basket to draw it up. A basket can be filled by the man in the pit, hauled up by the man above, and emptied while another is being filled. -F. C. Curtis i:i -American Agriculturist. Cooktnj; Stock Feed. "I suppose it will b? a long time before feeders agree concerning the desirability of cooking for stock," writes C. B. W. of Shawano. Wis. "Fermi t me to give my experience and observation. While I resided in Washington county, New York, all the best farmers there fed their hogs boiled potatoes, mixed with ground corn and peas. Hog3 so fed, in lots of twentyfive to fifty, would average 350 pounds. In my own experience of fattening o.d cattle for beef I find that the b?st results are obtained by taking good sound corn and boiling it until the kernels crack open. It becomes very soft. Add a little salt while boiling. Feed when cool. It is the cheapest, and will fatten animals In the shortest possible time. Corn treated this way will also put flesh on horses whlcCi have become poor from hard work, very rapidly. It has also proved excellent for milch cows." . Hott to Make Dairying- Pny. Was the subject of a paper by B. F. Norton to the Iowa dairymen's association. He is milking twenty-nine cow.s and made 313t pounds of butter per cow. He ships his butter to Duluth and New Orleans and it netted him 24i cents by the year, an average of $76.6(5 per cow. He estimates the food of the cow worth from $30 to $3ö. and that th3 skim milk will pay for the labor. His feed is er.sihge the year around, pasture in its season and a grain feed for about seven months in the year. The grain is barley, oats and corn in equal quantities ground together, and then mixed half an! half with bran and each cow fed a peck twice a day. He waters in the barn, leaves water in the trough, and puts the grain on the ensilage. The baby separator he finds the best investment a dairyman can make will p3y to buy on? for six or seven good cows. Lye for Dehorning Calves. A number of preparations have been used successfully for dehorning calves, but as the ordinary farmer seldom has those at hand. I will describe my method, which is not widely known, but has proved very satisfactory. Perform the operation be f-re the ar.imal is a wek old. Catch the calf and hold its had firmly. With a pair of scissors clip the hair from about the horn. whieh at thi3 time his not come through the skin. Place on the point cf a knife a little px?t made bv mixing concentrated lye and water, liit ti.is on the horn and rub in well, taking cre not to get it on the animal's skin. The lye completely kills the horn, but does not seem to hurt the calf for more than an hour or two. A scab forms after a few days, and when this comes off the hair grows over the spot, completely concealing anv scar which i lay be left. W. S. King, Nebraska. Frriilng Stack on Corn Slalka. When field corn is not cut fsr fodder and the corn is husked from the standing stocks, farm stock will glean from the field much nutritious food in the shape of nubbins, husk3 and blades, and the gras3 en the margins. The stock should be turned into the corn field only nn the more pleasant days, and should have been fed some corn for several days previous, or wnat is a, better plan, should stay in the stalk field only an hour or so at first. Unless care is used, they may find too much grain and over eat. All animals feeding on dry com stalks, and especially cattle, should have an abundant supply of drinking water to prevent constipation. American Agriculturist. Crorrd the Making of Tork .otv. The weather is cool enough far giving the pigs good appetites, but not coll enough to consume food for anything but the putting on of flesh. Wheat meal and bran with cornmeal and oats occasionally, make an agreeable change in the diet cf hogs" from Nebraska whi.h were brought east last summer. Cultivation of sugar beets, mangels and carrots for feeding stock is on the increase in this vicinity, and ho far as I have been able to learn from growers, they are unanimously well pleased with results. Such roots make a good variety for hogs, as well as beef. Excellent for cfcttle and sheep. Samuel Edwards, Northern Illinois. WIXTEIt WOniC OX THE FARM. Manure Jfaklna- Care of Pool tryDairy Xotea. Manure-making in winter is one of the best operations on the farm at that eason. because labor v cannot be bestowed in other directions as well ns on the manure heap. It is not difficult to have all of the manure well rotted by spring, and there is less low when It is in heaps than . if allowed . to remain spread out over the barnyard. Manure heaps should be handled several times, throwing the coaree materials in the center, where they will be heated and decomposed. Fowls need exercise, and if they have a dry location they ihould have a lot leaves or cut straw in which to scratch.

PLAN

FOR

Over-feeding Is a drawback to egg production, and so is roosting on tree limbs, which allow exposure to cold rainstorms, which bring on roup, a disease that sweeps the whole flock away. It is said that there is not now a single merino Kheep In Knjrland. The British farmers mako a specialty of mutton in place of wool and consider sheep very profttable stock. A farmer whose cows were dry sent to a large city for a tub of butter, and paid 23 cents a pound for choice. As he had never received over 20 cents a pound for that formerly sold by him he determined to give more attention to selling, and secured better prices. The lesson taught is that farmers do not give sufficient attention to selecting markets or seeking customers, which is a very important matter with ether classes of business men. Onion3 are imported into this country every year. We do not grow enough cf them for ordinary use. while the supply of small white onions for pickling is seldom up to the demand at any period of the growing season. We buv over 30.000.000 pounds of currants from foreign countries, and yet it is a fruit that thrives in nearly all sections of the United States. Much of the farm help is incompetent, which accounts for the ever-pre3ent demand for experienced men on the farms. This is an excellent time to help the lawn by giving it an application of wood ashes, at the rate of half a ton an acre. In the spring an application of fifty pounds of nitrate of soda may then be applied. The frequent mowing of grass robs the eoil of fertility. A3 soon as the gTound Is frozen cut away the old wood of the blackberries and raspberries. A good shovelful of manure around each bunch of eines will benefit them when they start to grow In the spring. It should be with great care that seed potatoes for next year are procured. It 13 often the case that the rot Is brought on the farm in the seed, and once the land is infected it will be difficult to eradicate the disease. Potatoes grown from seed coming from the North are claimed to have better keeping qualities than those grown from southern saed. Seed should be procured only from reliable parties, and from sections where no disease exists, if possible to do a. Keeping thai boy on the farm depends on what his Impressions may be In his early days. A young colt or two every year, the calve?, lambs and pigs make the farm attractive to the boys, and if they can bs given an interest in them so much the loiter. The happiest days of the young farmer are those spent with) the baby animals, and He will witch their growth until they are matured. The lack of school house3 is one of the drawbacks to the farmer. The country

school houses are usually too far from j some of the farms in a community, which entails loss of time during inclement weather. Every dog kept on a farm should be useful for some purpose. There are too manv worthless night prowlers and curs. A collie can be made to bring up the cows and make himself serviceable. Any dog known to kill sheep should be destroyed at one?. Outside of the expense of keeping worthless dogs is the injury and annoyance they occasion to neighbors. Make preparations for sheltering the Iambs. Pome ewes will drop their lambs next month and should the weather be verv cold they may perish in the night before the farmer can assist them. The ewes should not be crowded, and in addition to warm quarters should new be fed liberally, ground oat3 being a principal portion of the ration. Household Hints. Sprinkle places infested by ants with borax and you will soon be rid of them. Blankets and furs put away well sprinkled with borax and done up air-tight will never be troubled with moths. A little borix rut in the water before washing red or red-bordered tablecloths and napkins will prevent their fading. Ringworms will yield to borax treatment. Apply a strong solution of borax three times a dty; also dus; on the dry powder very often. Silver spoons and forks in daily use may be kept bright by leaving them In strong borax water several hours. The water should be boiling when they are put in. Put a teaspoonful of borax in your rinsing water; it will whiten the clothes and also remove the yellow cast on garments that have been laid aside for two or three years. One of the best things to cleanse the scalp thoroughly is to dissolve one-half teaspoonful of borax in a quart of water and apply it. rubbing It In well. Rinse thoroughly In clear water. For washing fine, nice flannels nothing will cause them to look so nice as borax In the water, a teaspoonful of borax to a pail of water being the right proportion. Always wash baby's little flannel skirts, shirts, etc., in this. Always wash baby's mouth and gums every morning with water in which you have put a pinch of borax. It keeps tjr mouth fresh and sweet, and prevents that uncontrollable affliction, a sore mouth, with which so many poor babies are troubled when their mouths are not kept perfectly clean. Borax water Is excellent for sponging either silk or wool goods, that are not soiled enough to need washing. In washing cashmere or wool goods, put a little b-erax in the water. This will cleanse them much more easily and better, without injury to th" colors. Do not rub them on a board, but u.e the hands, and throw on a line without wringing. Press them on the wrong sid and tfcey will look almost like nmv. Good Housekeeping. It or lite a. Whnlemoa! Milk Rreii-Mix thoroughly about one ounce of butter in one and onehalf ounce? of milk; use this instead of the water in the previous recipe. Gem Breal Make a thick batter of fine- ' ly-ground whok meil and water, mixing in as much as possible. Have ready a very hot greyed g?m pin and drop snm? batter into each space. Then bike for about half an hour in a ery hot oven. ; A Delicious Way of Cooking Vermicelli Put on one- pint of milk with two ounces of desiccated cocoanut. and let it get quite hot, then add ouirter pound of vermicelli; let this cook till tender. Now add two ounces cf well-washed and picked sultanas, put the mixture into a glass dish, pour over it one cup of cream, and sprinkle the whole over with bleached and chopped pistachio nuts. Rich Wholemeal Bread Well mix two ounces of German yeast with a teaspoonfu. of sugar. Also mix four pounds of wholemeal with two ounces- of sugar and a little salt. Make a hole in the center and pour in the yeast with a pint of tepid water and half a pint of milk. Then add two or three well-beaten egg?, and work Into dough. Cover with a cloth and leave in front of the fire for two hours or bo, after which divide In two portion and bake in two tins for about an hour. Souffle of Rabbit Mince and pound smoothly the meat from the back of a raw rabbit, and to each two ounces of meat thus pounded allow one ounce of pounded ham. the yolk3 of two eggs, a pinch of salt and white pepper, and a tiny dust of cayenne. When thi3 is all mixed, stir into it a gill of whipped cream and the whites cf three eggs, whipped as stiff as possible, with a very tiny pinch of salt; three parts fill a souffle dish with this mixture, and bike in a moderate oven for thirty minutes. Serve at once, sprinkled with a little minced parsley and coralline pepper. The I'ntnn of Ithenmnt lam According to the best authorities, originate in a morbid condition of the blood. Lactic acid, caused by the decomposition of the gelatinous and albuminous tissues, circu- j lates with the blood and attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly in the Joints, and thus causes the local manifestations of the dis- , ease. The back and Ehoulders are the part3 usually affected by rheumatism and the Joints at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are also sometimes attacked. Thousands of people have found in Hood's Sar3aparilla a positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. It ha3 had remarkable success in curing the most severe cases. The secret of its success lies in the fact that it attacks at once the cause of ths disease by neutralizing the lactic acid and purifying the blood, as well as strengthening every . function of the body. j

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

J. Edward Addicks of Delaware, who is contesting for the seat in the United States senate which is now occupied by J. EDWARD ADDICKS. Anthony Higgins, was a candidate for the same office in 1S83. Mr. Addicks, whose ancestors figured prominently In the American revolution, began life as an errand boy, and in a few years became a merchant. He made considerable money and soon became Interested in gas manufacture. He started1 this business in 1884, and before the lapse of six years was worth millions. He has established Bay State gas companies in many large states of the union. Gen. Duchesne, the commander of the recent French expedition to Madagascar, will be prominent in any trouble which may follow between the Islanders and the French. Gen. Duchesne is a native of Sens, in the Tonne, where he was born in 1837. At eighteen he entered the military academy of Saint Cyr, and two 3'ears later received his commission as a sub-lleutenant in a line regiment, with which he participated in the Italian campaign. During the Franco-German war he served as a captain, and then passed several years of active service in Africa. In 1SS4 he was sent to engage the Chinese, and inflicted several signal defeats on them. In 1893 he was promoted a general of division, and at present is in charge of the Fourteenth division at Belfort. The remains of Gen. John C. Fremont were recently laid In their last resting place In Rockland cemetery, near SparMRS. J. r. FKEMOXT kill, N. Y., and a handsome monument will soon be erected over the spot. The widow of the famous "Pathfinder," who was the republican party's first candidate for president, is now about seventy years of age and is living In Los Angtles with her daughter. Mrs. Fremont was the daughter of , Thomas Benton, the famous United States senator, and was born in Virginia. She became Mrs. Fremont when a mere girl, and was so closely identified with the adventures and aspirations of the young explorer, soldier and politician that "Fremont and Jessie" became the rallying cry when Fremont ran for president. The controversy existing between Archbishop Corrigan and Mgr. T. J. Ducey brings the latter prominently before the SI Git. T. J. ÜITEY. public. The general Impression is that Father Ducey 13 quite likely to hold hl3 or. witb h s superior. Mgr. Ducey does not condemn the public school system of te Uni'el States. He is brond in his views, and notable among the clergymen for hU phlnness of speech. In St. Leo's Roman catholic church. New York, he ministers to the spiritual needs of the Havemeyers, the Isins and others of solid financial standing. He gives away thousands every year In charity, and has ben known to give a shivering man his overcoat, going himself without until he could go to his house for another. Father Ducey is Just in the prime of life. Eugenie, ex-empress of the French, is nearly seventy years of age, and in her beautiful but lonely retreat atFarnborough, ET-KXPRFS) ECEngland, she now awaits the closing chapter in her stormy and tragic career, and it will probably not be long delayed, as she is very feeble. She has survived all those whom she loved husband, son, mother and sister. Dead,, too, are her hopes and ambitions; they have vanished like her world-renowned beauty, like her queenship, like her long-hoped for and Joyously hailed maternity. Ex-Empress Eugenie was born in Spain in 182G, and married in 1853.' Her only child, the prince Imperial, was killed by Zulus in South Africa In 1879. In many ways Empress Eugenie's influence was bad for France. But she was a good wife to a bad man, and was devoted to her son. She has lived in exile in England for several years.

CATARRH

CURES

An ETer-Insreasinz Host of-Witnesses, It used to be very common to hear people say that chronic catarrh can not bo cured. The science of medicine has made all such statements absurd In thi3 day and age of the world. Those who know of Pe-ru-na know that catarrh can be cured. A few of the great multitude of witnesses to this fact will be given. The names and addresses are given that everybody may have the opportunity of investigating further if they desire: Mrs. J. N. Kirchner of Herndon, Kas., had chronic catarrh sixteen years, tried many kinds of tfeatment without cure. Used Pe-ru-na, which cured her. Is as well as any one could expect to be. W. E. Shelton, Lone Grove, I. T., had chronic catarrh for years. Tried Pe-ru-na and says that it has more virtue than is claimed for it. B. F. High tower (druggist), Eufaula, I. T., also had catarrh for years so badly as to be hardly able to work. He says: "I owe my present good health entirely to Pe-ru-na," Albert F. Carlson, Lindstrom. Minn., box 112, was cured of catarrh in the head by Pe-ru-na. He has not been troubled since. Lee Stephens, Daily, Tex., had catarrh very badly; could scarcely hear; after taking Pe-ru-na he says: "I am entirely cured, and can hear as well as anyone." Thinks Pe-ru-na a wonderful remedy. August Possehl. Akron, O., says: "Pe-ru-na . has perfectly cured my catarrh.' It is worth Its weight in gold. I feel perfectly well and happy." This list of cures could be increased almost indefinitely. Everybody should have a copy of the Family Physician No. 2, an excellent treatise on catarrh, coughs, colds and consumption.

"Yes, I've seen a good many games cf pool," said the aged sport, reflectively, "and some mighty queer ones, but a game that I saw ten years ago out In Anaconda, Mont, beat them all." "Tell us about ic," said the Buffalo Express man. That, of course, was the Invitation which the aged sport was fishing for, so he began without further urging: "It wa3 a little one-horse saloon, one of the toughest in that tough western town. A half-dozen or so of us had been sitting around drinking and playing, when In came a couple of cowboys, and, after taking eight drinks apiece as fast as they could swallow, they demanded the use of the pool table. Myself and three other fellows were playing at the time, but we gave it right up without a protest, for those cowboys had their pistols in their hands and they locked ugly. The attendant placed the balls In a hurry and offered each cowboy a cue. They took the cues and hit him a couple of raps over the head with the heavy ends of them, whereupon he got down behind the bar and did not say another word. Then those cowboys threw the cues out of the window and drew their guns and began shooting the balls into the pockets. "Well, sir, you can better believe it wa3 the prettiest shooting a man ever saw. They played a regular game, each taking his turn and making his run Just as you would with cues. Of course, when they hit a ball squarely the bullet would shatter it to pieces, but they were clever enough not to break more than one or two in the whole game. They would shoot glancing shots. Just nipping the ballsf-on the dg-;s and whilrlng them off into the pockets almost every time. They made double shots and single shots and bank shots and all kinds cf shots. The proprietor began to get nervous for his table, for, of cour?e, every shot went through the edge of it. and he yelled from behind the bar for somebody to stop them, but thy sent one ball in his direction, which clipped off the tip of his ear and he got down behind the bar and stayed there. The rest of us. seeing we were not in danger, stood around and watched the game. Well, sir, those fellows cleared the tables In about two rounds 3pleca and then set the balls up again for another game. I don't know how long it would have lasted if it had not been for an accident." "What was the accident?" "Why, one of them tried a little too fine work. The balls had been scattered all around the edge of the table. He said he could shoot a curve which would send them all Into the pockets at once. He put his pistol down on the table and fired. It was a beautiful rhot, and it did what he said it would, but he miscalculated on one thing." "Yes?" "You see. the pistol ball, after making the complete circuit of the table and driving all the bails into the pockets, naturally came back where it started from, and that was the cowboy's own gun. It .entered the barrel and smashed the pistol, and so the game had to stop." The married man was tilking to the bachelor. "Why don't you marry?" inquired the benedict. "I don't want to be a married man, I suppose." replied the bachelor. "What kind of a man do you want to be?" "Not any kind for any length of time. For instance, I'd like to be a boy part of the time; then a lover slj?hinfr out his heart; then a hus'band and father for a month or so; then an old man for another month, and so on, changing about as the mood might take me. That sort of a thing beats these everlasting youth snaps all to pieces." "Then marry," said the benedict with supreme confidence. "That would knock my plan all to piece?." "On the contrary, my dear fellow." said the married man, settling down to his work, "It would make you all of these. When you wanted to be a boy you could Join your children in their pleasures and plans, In their sports and sorrows; when you wanted to bo a lover, you would always find your wife ready to listen to the same sweet words you told her In the June nights of. long ago; when you wanted to be a married man you could take off your coat and put up stoves, and get out and do the marketing, and study up new ways of how not to forget what your, wife told you to get down town; when you wanted to be an old man you could sit down In your office and wonder where you were going to get money enough to keep thlng3 going and think over the grave cares and responsibilities of a man In your position. There it all Is, old fellow," concluded the married man. "and you have selected It yourself. Now marry." And the bachelor didn't Free Press. Senator Palmer of Illinois belongs to a family which for longevity can scarcely be equaled by any other in the country. The senator's grandfather, whom he remembers very well, was born in 1747, and fought in the revolution. His'father was a soldier in the war of 1812. and he himself fought in the rebellion. The lives of these three generations compass a period of nearly 150 years. Senator Palmer is, moreover, the oldest of four living generations of Palmers, all bearing the name of John M. "My grandfather," said Senator Palmer one night last week and v Senator Palmer is second to no man in Washington in telling good stories "was Dorn down here among the fish and oysters of Northumberland county, Virginia.

V Uncle Aivah Dunninp, the hormit of the Adirondack.1?, maintains that the earth is not round like a ball, but at flat as a pancake, or. at best, that it resembles a milk ran, with enough of an edge to keep the water from running away. A number of guests at Charlie Bennett's "Antlers." on Raquette lake, were discussing the theory with Uncle Aivah one day during the present hunting season. One of them undt-rtook the altogether . hopeless task of convincing the old man of the error of hU belief. Among1 other things he called attention to the tides. "Uncle Aivah." he said, "you've heard of till., haven't you? How do you account for them if the wnrl I isn't rounil?"

I OUTSIDE OPINIONS. For presidential purposes the state of ! Maine, with Thomas B. Reed as one of its citizens, is far enough west to suit the view3 of a great many good republicans. It Ls several degrees west of Indiana, at any rate. St. Loui3 Globe-Democrat. It is alleged in behalf of the fugitive, th? Rev. Conrad Haney, that discontinuing the tobacco habit produced a disturbed mental condition, rendering him in a degree irre5poaible for his acts. The deep and scarlet criminality of Sir Walter Raleigh in introducing the use of tobacco among white men receives another confirmatory illustration. Chicago Herald. If. as by a miracle, those congressional dry bones should take on a new lease of life, repeal the differential on sugar, place iron ore and coal on the free list, put into operation the Cleveland-Carlisle plan of currency reform and establish cloture in the senate, then indeed would democracy, but slightly disfigured, re-enter the ring in with hopo renewed and courage restored. But can those dry bones rattle or be rattled again. Louisville Times. There is apparently a determination on the part of the backers of the Nicaragua canal pcheme to force that measure of public spoliation through the senate during the short session in derlaned of the strong publie sentiment against repeating the follies into which ttis government fell in the Pacific railroad cases. The intelligent people of the country are thoroughly familiar with the far-t that the proposd bond puarantee of $100.000.000 pledges the government to a debt which miy amount, when the payments of principal and interest are considered, to near $200.000,000. St. Louis Republic. One of the cunning pretenses of the Nicaragua canal lobby in Washington is that England is seeking the opportunity to dig a canal through Central America. That the KnslU-h are not much tnven to this sort of enterprise was seen in the matter of the Suez canal, in which they declined to make any investment until its success, commercially and financially, had been completely assured. When the English government would net subsidize the Manchester canal, it is not likely to throw any money into a ditch in Central American after witnessing th? Panama canal experiment of France. Philadelphia Record. Metropolitan conditions are such that revenue can be drawn from any hovel however squalid. It is not necessary that it should bo comfortable or that it should be clean if only it will shelter misery from the worst inclemencies of the seasons. As long a3 this is true those who manage their property "on strict business principles" can hardly be persuaded that it will pay to replace hovels with houses fit for the homes of decent and self-respecting people.

The Fall River mills, it is reported, are buying and storing large quantities of cotton on account of the current low prices and most of them have now a year's supply secured. It is prudent anü wise action on the part of our Yankee friends. There can ba no question, we think, that eoUcn at 5 or 5V6 cents a pound is below the average cost of production, while many farmers cannot produce it for less than 6 to 7 cents. It is very probable that the next crop will bo smaller than this year's crop, and it will be considerably smaller if prices do not advance considerably before planting time. The Fall River buyers are perfectly safe in making a year's purchase ahead, and they will probably make a large profit by their venture. Southern milts which are in position to do so would do well to follow their example. Charleston News and Courier. Ills Merry C!irltnni. A hurried man, a worried man, A man most sad to see.

Schofield for his lack of discipline'is toll by the San Francisco Chronicle. The last echo of one of Sousa's overtures was just dying away over tha sand hills svrnth of th? fair grounds, whom Gen. Schofield fteppd in front of th band and saluted the distinguished leader. Sousa returned the salute and sent one of his men to escort the general up into the band stand. "That music was beautiful beautiful.exclaimed the general, as he shook Sousa" hand warmly. "I am astonished, sir, that you g?t such results with so little discipline." There is nothing that Sousa prides him self more on than b?ing one of the strictest of disciplinarians, and he was naturally nettled at the general's criticism. "Why, general, my men are under perfect control. I'm sure they are thoroughly drilled and I can hardly bflieve that ther is any lack of discipline. I have never noticed it " "No, that's just it; you don't pee it. persisted the general. "I saw It, though. I you know that as soon as you turn your back on one side of your band to shake your baton at the other those fellows all quit playing. Of course you don't it, for as twn as j-ou turn around they t-egin again." The fun in this, at the expense of the general, lies, of course, in the fact that when a section of Sousa's men became silent as he turned to the other was when the music so required. But the general looked upon thL? lapse as he would look upon the suspension of a section of his artillery when he turned his attention to another r!,rt of the field. t Cnuf for Alarm.
