The Failure Talks.

1 reckon I m a failure, as we reckon failure now, An the world may have me listed as a dub; There isn’t any laurel resting lightly on my brow, An Ive not been asked to join a stylish club. 1 am not called on at banquets for an after-dinner speech, . I m a stranger, if a dozen miles I roam; But Ive got five laughin’ youngsters an each one of ’em’s a peach, • An I get a lot of comfort out of home. t I reckon I in a failure, coz my bdnk account is small, »An’ I’ve always been a toiler in the ditch; An’ I’ve always had to struggle with my back against the wall, toz 1, never found the way to gettin’ rich. When I die I’ll be forgotten save by just a very few An I’ll go to sleep among the “countless dead;” But I’ve got a few friends round me that I know are staunch an’ true, An’ my nights are never filled with thoughts of dread. I reckon I m a failure, in the worldly sense o’ wealth, An’ I’ve never done a single glorious deed, But I’m gettin’ on to fifty an’ I still possess my health, An’ I’ve kept my little family out o’ need. An I’ve lived my lifetime with em, I have romped with ’em an’ played, An’ I’ve reaped a Lot of pleasure out o’ strife; Though I’ve failed to get. the money that perhaps I might have made, 1 a heap o’ happiness in life. .. . —Detroit Free Press.

NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By Willam Pitt

Keep nothing but pure breds. Peat soils need potassium (potash). Be careful of caked udders in the iwes. , ; The natural color of butter is that found in June. ■ A deep bed will often cause the loss of a number of pigs. A collar tfet fits is the best preventive for sore shoulders. Never whip a horse when he ships It will increase his fear. Give the sows plenty of clean water to drink. Take the chill off. If the fodder is getting scarce, better buy than stint the cows. A good agitator on the spray pump is as important a# a good pump Save all the hog manure. You have none on the farm that Is richer. In choosing eggs for hatching, try to get those from the best hens you have. I With three cows you need a cream separator; with ten, you must have a silo. ■ .. . : • File the crosscut saw yourself; you will thus soon. save enough to buy a new saw. The churn should be thoroughly scalded and then cooled before cream is put in. It is a losing proposition to try to raise 200 chicks where there is room for only 50. A little oil meal or a few potatoes will help the horses get rid of their winter hair. Before you start your incubator, get out. the manufacturers’ directions and re-read carefully.

STATE HAPPENINGS RECORDED IN BRIEF

NEWS ITEMS FROM ALL OVER INDIANA. HOLDS JEWELS A NECESSITY Appellate Court Decide* That Wife of Man Worth $75,000 Should Have Articles Suitable to Her Station.

Indianapolis, May 16.—That diamonds are necessaries for the wife of a man worth $75,000 was the dej vision of the Indiana appellate court , in a case against Dr. William Cooper 1 of' Kokomo. Doctor Cooper was an : old man and his wife a handsome ; youfig woman and before their marJ riage he gave her diamonds and told i her that after their marriage she i ?ould have more diamonds. After marriage the jewels were not forth- ’ ?oming and Mrs. Cooper bought them I herself from a jeweler and had them ! ' barged to her husband. He refused :o pay for Them and the jeweler sued, i Doctor Cooper was inclined to the • simple life while his wife was ini elined to dress and appear well among her friends. The appellate court, after reviewing the authorities and showing i the former holdings relative to what ! are necessaries for a wife for which a husband is responsible, says: “Under the Indiana rulings, we must i hold it to be a question of fact, as to where the means and station of life of the parties and as to whether the zoods purchased are suitable to such I means and station. The standard of i living is so far advancing and appellant admits that the standard has ad- ; vanced in Kokomo.-that we cannot rej strict the meaning of the terms ‘NecI essaries’ and ‘Articles suitable to one’s station in life,* to such articles ias they might have included some i years ago. It is a matter of common ; knowledge, of which not even courts I can- be ignorant, that persons of even J much smaller means than appellant i are accustomed to provide their wives . with jewelry Such as that which is the, I subject of this suit, and that such articles can certainly be said under modern conditions to be suitable to the station in life of persons of the financial and social standing of appellant.”

Cuts Throat With Knife. Lafayette, May 16. —James Rowe, sixty-five years old, at one time a well-to-do Tippecanoe county farmer, attempted to kill himself at the county infirmary by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. He lost a great amount of blood, and it is believed he will die. Rowe lived at Daytofi for forty years, and was despondent because of poor health and financial reverses. Work Against Saloon Men. Bloomington, May 16.—Tempe&n& forces of the city began work on a remonstrance in the Second ward in an attempt to defeat the petition of Rena Brissenden, who has applied for license to open a saloon. The saloons of the city have always been located only In the First ward.

POULTRY NOTES

A flock of birds neglected are money losers. U The poultry needs plenty of green feed all the time. Breeding fowls to be healthy and prolific should not be pampered. Ducks need to be fed only twice a day if they are allowed a good grass range. If the eggs are a little pale in the yolk, a trifle more corn will deepen the color. * Chickens that have to hunt and scratch for their feed are seldom troubled with leg weakness. Dry wheat bran along with chick feed is fine for young chicks; It keeps their bowels in good condition. It is not just what we will gain this year that counts; it is rather wha course to follow In a series of years. Once a week give the drinking dishes a scrubbing and scald with hot water in which a small quantity of common baking soda has been dissolved. 1 To reap profits from poultry the flock must be separated Into pens of small numbers. Overcrowding Is one of the greatest mistakes, and this has been demonstrated.

TAFT FAVORED BY MONTANA

Eight Delegates to Chicago Are In, vested With Discretionary Powers by State Convention. : ■—~~ . . ■ Helena, Mont., May 17.—The Republican state convention selected eight delegates to the national convention which is to be held in Chicago, and while the delegates are vested with discretionary power in the matter of voting on the presidential nominee they are requested by resolutions adopted to use all honorable means to bring about the renomination of President Taft. The Taft men were in the majority having 434 votes as compared to 2?2 votes for Roosevelt. Baltimore, Md., May 17.—The Democratic state convention in session here elected eight delegates-at-large and 24 district delegates, each with half a vote, to the national convention and instructed them for Champ Clark “as long as there is a chance for his nomination.”

How to Advertise. Advertise to beat the band and get rich. How long do you s’pose Steers Hawbuck or Mongumery Wart would do business if they didn’t send out catalogs every month and the oceans of big fellows they send out must cost them at least $1 a piece In large quantities. The same Mother Mulligan’s Honkedory Soothing Syrup, Dr. Beatem’s Pale Pills for Pink People and Brown River Toasted Corn Cobs. Why . if advertising did not make people call for these varieties they might go home with “something just as good" and ruin their digestion with Hl Bllnkum’s Baled Hay or Sklnnem Foozle’s Sawdust Jlmjammer. The man that doesn’t advertise, as Bryan once Said, is like the fellow that throws kisses at his sweetheart In the dark. He may know what he Is doing, but she doesn’t and that is where the rub comes.—Ex.

Religion Advertised.

▲ new sign, one of the biggest around Broadway, appeared on the roof of a building Ifi Twenty-third street, In New York City the other day. It is feet In height and 62 feet in length. Six big electric arcs light it at night. The sign advertises religion. It bears In large letters these words: “Welcome for Everybody In the Churches of New York." At both ends are large crosses and on one end the words "Religion for Men” and on the other end "Men for Religion,” and at the bottom is "Men and Religion Forward Movement.” This sign Is the first of an advertising campaign.

Observation has shown that poults’ raised by the turkey hen will average more In weight than those cared for by a hen. Ducking the head of a roupy bird In a mixture of 1 ounce of permanganate of potash to 3 pints of water will often effect a cure. That cows likes a variety of feed Is proven by the fact that they may often be found chewing rotten hay, old straw, stalks, etc. Clover or other legume crop every four years Is absolutely necessary to maintain the nitrogen of the soli for com, wheat, oats, timothy and like crops. A litter carrier will add much to keep the barn clean, because, the boys and men will work more readily than if they had to depend upon the old method.

OR. REITMAN TELLS STORY OF TARRING

Details Experiencce With San Diego Vigilance l Committee. BEGGED THEM TO KILL HIM • 1 9 Investigation Into Alleged Outrage Begun by Federal Grand Jury—Authorities Have Documents Taken From Victim. Los Angeles, Cal., May 17.— “1 was taken from the U. S. Grant hotel Tuesday night by 14 men and placed In an automobile,” said Dr. Benjamin Reitman, manager of Emma Goldman, in telling of his experience with San Diego vigilantes, by whom he was given a coating of tar and feathers early Wednesday morning. “When I refused to go, four of them placed revolvers against my body. They were well-dressed and apparently refined. Ope clapped his hand over my mouth and the police cleared a path to the waiting machine. Fingers Thrust Into Eyes. “We drove 30 miles into the desert, followed by anoth,ec automobile, crowded’ by vigilafites. The torture began ‘at once. Fingers were thrust up my nose and into my eyes; they stuck pencils into my nostrils, tore out hair by the roots, stuffed filth in my mouth and applied epithets worse than I ever heard in the vilest criminal dens in the lowest countries on earth. “At a certain spot more men were awaiting us around a fire. The automobile searchlights illuminated the place. First my clothing was torn off. Then they committed upon me vile acts of fiendish, gross, barbaric Indecency, ithe details of which are unfit for publication. Begged for Death.

“Screaming in pain, I begged them to kill me. ‘No,’ they replied. They wanted me to go away and tell of how they received advocates of free speech in San Diego. Being unable to sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ 1“ was beaten with a club. I stood naked in a yelling circle of white, men who advanced in pairs, their eyes glittering In the searchlights, to Inflict pain. “Being of strong physique, I withstood their utmost efforts. “One asked me if I believed In God. I replied that no God could permit such desperate deeds. Each of the 14 stepped forward and propounded a question. I answered truthfully, and each smashed me In the face as I spoke. “Their final scheme, before the burning, was running the gauntlet. I ran through a double row of men, each beating me with a club as I passed. Seared With Burning Cigar. “Then, while six held me on the ground, another slowly traced figures on my back with a lighted cigar, searing the flesh horribly. Their one cry was, ‘We’re Americans, and we’U teach you to keep away from San Diego.’ I was smeared with filth, and then the American flag was thrust Into my throat until I strangled. “After enduring two hours of torture, the boiling tar was applied and desert grasses stuck to It. Then I was chased into the desert, one following and beating me with my own cane until he stopped exhausted. They said they’d treat Miss Goldman the same way If she was captured.

Loses Watch and Papers. “At dawn I reached a little town called Bernardo and entered it Before turning me loose, my underclothes, vest and S2O in money were given me. I didn’t get my watch or papers. I bought turpentine and these cJothes (indicating the clothing he wore), washed and dressed as well as I could. We cannot prosecute. Governor Johnson has been appealed to In vain. What are we going to do?” An investigation has been started by the federal grand jury at Los Angeles. 1 .. A large package of documents taken from Reitman by the vigilantes has been forwarded to the United States district attorney’s office here. Dr. Reitman and Emma Goldman spoke at the Walker theater here last night and left for San Francisco this morning, where they are scheduled to speak tonight in Golden Gate hall.
