In 1916 he received.the Mons Star, the Military medal, and was mentioned in dispatches by the British commander in chief. In the meantime the Turks held an imperial court martial and the sultan signed his death warrant at the end of 1916. In 1923 Mustapha renewed It.

When the dictator was informed of it ■ and Sabry s history, he sent" for him. He was taken before the chief executive under heavy guard. The ghazi ordered the escort to release the prisoner and gave him a complete pardon because he had thrice risked his life: once for Turkey in the Balkans, again for England “on' the western front, and finally to console his mother’s last years. Mustapha reniinded Sabry that he had also Ikyed his own ntother deeply and ‘declared that since he had heard of the latter’s case he had been -wondering whether, under the same circunistances. he himself would have had the Courage to come back.

I STAGE COACH!! ?, TALES By E. C. TAYLOR;! The Runaway Stage JUST as modern railroads sometimes are wrecked, shaking up or even killing passengers, so the stage coaches that were the chief mode of transportation between the Atlantic coast and the Middle West along the old National road a century ago, had their mishaps, sometimes fatal. Runaways were infrequent, but several are recorded. In three or four there was loss of life, but more often the passengers suffered only minor injuries when the stages overturned. David Gordon, who was driving for James Reeside’s “June Bug” line —so named by Reeside’s rival, Lucius W. Stockton, who said the line would last only until the June bugs came—. i was driving west from Claysville, Pa.,J soon after he had started handling , the reins, when his horses ran off. The coach carried a full load of | passengers, and young Gordon, see- ; I ing that the flying horses could not ibe cheeked by ordinary methods, ! pulled the coach off the road and : turned it over against a high bank. The passengers were badly frightened, but none was hurt. They attributed their escape from death or injury to the skillfulness of the driver. After righting the coach, which was little damaged, Gordon proceeded to Roney’s Point. This incident, or accident, gave Gordon, a wide reputation-as a cool and skillful driver and he rapidly advanced . to the front rank of his calling. When the “June Bug” line was withdrawn from the road, as Stockton had predicted, Gordon took service with the -Good Intent” line and continued with it until all through lines of stage coaches were taken from the road. Gordon was a very strong man. He was 6 feet tall and weighed 200 pounds, and there was not tin ounce of fat on his body.’ It was said that he could fight; but was not quarrelsome. On one occasion’ he was. coni] ■ 1 to engage in-a knockdown, in self .dense Tiiat was at Tri d 'lf hia, Xa. Three, toughs fell upon him at that place, declaring their intention of ’’d(> ing him tip,” as the phrase then was. They failed ignominiously. Gordon i routed all three completely and det cisively, and they, never again sought an encounter with him. And the example of their fate rendered others with .pugnacious proclivities to be shy | about encountering him. ! David Gordon was one of a class I of quiet, well-mannered, soft-spoken stage drivers: who did much to keep the reputation of all coach drivers of ■ his time on a high plane before the I public. According to A. J. Endsley, who was ’ born and reared along the old National road, the old time stage coach ■drivers, as a class, were better ntoral- : ly than the old wagoners who drove , the huge freight wagpns along the i highway. When the. great road ? was opened, ] these wagoners immediately took possession, usurping all rights; and kept i to the middle of the highway with their long trains of brightly painted I covered gondolas filled with the tarm products of the West, or the manufactured geods and staphs j-e East, forcing other vehicles to turn around them. The stage drivers resented this autocracy, and decided to put a stop to it. They armed themselves with long poles, at.the ends of which they ■ i spikes. Gn a giveir day. they started out, and as they met the wagon trains, refused to turn -out. driving into the wagen trains with their makeshift lances and completely routing them.- The hardy wagoners , knew when they were beaten, and the i fast stages thereafter were given the right of way. Endsley says that some of tL''old stage ilrivers were given to blasphemy and heavy drinking, but that the worst of the stage drivers could be beaten in those respects by most of the wagoners.

DAIRY aFACT S . ' =3 PROFIT FROM COW PUT INTO FIGURES Easy to Determine Animals Worth Keeping. How much butterfat must a Jersey cow produce to be considered profitable under present conditions? We I have indicated that a Ski O-pound Jersey producing 25 pounds daily of milk | testing 5 per cent fat (1.25 pounds fat) ■ will need 11 pounds corn fodder, 9 ; pounds so.v bean hay, 3 pounds ground corn, 3 pounds ground wheat, 2 pounds : wheat bran, and % pound linseed meal. With the fodder charged at sl2 . a ton, soy bean hay at sl2 corn at 50 ] cents a bushel, ground wheat at 36- : cents, wheat bran at sls a ton. and ; linseed meal at S3O a ton, the feed ■ ebst of a pound of butterfat is 15 | cents. If we want pay for labor and i all other costs of producing milk, wemust add 10 to 15 cents-to this. Credit for skimmilk, a calf and manure, makes this cow profitable. At therate of 1.25 pounds fat daily for 305 days this cow would produce 381 pounds fat. From this we see that any cow not capable of averaging around a pound of fat a day for at I least 305 days is on the border line when it comes to.-making mn actual profit. We would not advise anyone to sell at this time a . cow capable of ■ making !’A> pounds fat a year. There are plenty of cows to sell below this ; production. One will not make any mistake, by feeding all- the: mod' roughage cows will clean up. When it comes to feeding grain one should know something about' the production of each cow and feed grain accoriFngly.

Then the herd ! was purchased and brought to the station barn. For the,next year they were fed balanced rations according to the I producing ability of each cow. The previous year, at the farm, their average production "as 4.‘-74 pounds of niilk. At the station it was 6.340 pounds of milk, or an increase, of 30 i per cent.
