national tragedy.In a western town a row of saloons along a wide street were in full operation and crowded with customers as the President and his party came down the street.In one of the more prominent ones sat two cowboys with revolvers in their pockets.They were drinking, and asserted ina foud voice that they had come to wing the President and break up the old party at once.No one paid any attention to their loud talk, and the barkeeper continued to bring on all the whisky they called for.\u2019 A physician, who was passing through the saloon, was startled at their wild talk and stopped a moment.Soon the band announced the coming of the parade in which the President, seated in a carriage, was bowing to the crowds om all sides.Both of these men jumped up, seized their revolvers and rushed to the door.} The saloon was elevated so that the parade and the street could be clearly seen.Both of these men stood, leaning against a post with their hands on the revolvers, glaring up the street waiting for the crowd to come opposite to them.No one seemed to notice them, but rather shrank away.The doctor saw that they were evidently determined to shoot as the President's carriage came along.Suddenly he threw himself on both of these men, tripping them up, and caused them to fall one over the other.In his attempt to seize the re volver it went off and the ball struck a bystander, who, with a loud yell, rushed away, A crowd gathered instantly, and the doctor shouted to hold these men and take their revolvers away.Both of them pulled out other revolvers and began to shoot, and this scattered the crowd, leaving only the doctor and one or two others struggling with them.The lower man raised up and turned the revolver toward the proces sion and shot before .he could be stopped.Finally a policeman rushed over and the men were controlled.They had other revolvers in thelr back pockets, and made great efforts to draw them.It was evident that some one was going to be killed.The doctor rushed into the saloon, opened his medicine case and k out a large dose of appomorphia and rushed back and injected it into the arm of one of the struggling cowboys, then prepared another dose for the second man.In three or four minutes both of them relaxed and appeared like dead - men.They were carried away in a wagon to the station house and later taken to the Jal], where they remained comatose for nearly twenty-four hours.The crowd thought the doctor had killed them, and the chief of police was inclined to consider the doctor re sponsible.° ° .The President's perty is protected by à .secret service force, but the time is coming when the closing of saloons will be called for as a ne cessity to prevent weak-minded, excitable men from committing crimes while under the influence of spirits.These two cowboys were suffering from homicida) mania, and were absolutely certain to commit crime unless prevented by unforseen circumstances.There are in almost every community persons of this kind who only need the slightest exciting causes to become criminals.The slogan, crush out the saloons, is founded on a fact that will be recognized and become à reality in the near future\u2014T.D.Crothers, M.D.Carnival of Death.Shall the rum fiend still carry on his carnival of dexth?Shall the rum minions, at the still, behind the bar, at the bar, in the gutter, or in the

then they were located on a farm in Derby for a few years.Later on they moved to Beebe where they remained until the death of Mr.Ruiter, Feb 21st, 1804.Since that time Mrs.Ruiter bas lived with her only daughter, Mrs, Jenkins, by whom she was tenderly cared for in her declining years.The late Mrs.Ruiter was a person of high ideals and was universally esteemed by all who knew her.years ago she upited with the Metbo- dist Church in Manchester, N.H., and throughout her long and useful lite she took an active interest in all kinds of Christian work.She was a member of the Beebe Methodist Church at the time of her death.Mrs.Raiter belonged to a family noted for longevity.Her oldest sister, Mrs.H.D.Chandler, who died in Haverhill, N.H,, Dec.11th, 1911, aged 96 years, was the possessor of a handsome gold and ebony cane given to the oldest resident of the town of Haverhill.Another sister, Mrs.C.H.Deland, is living in Haverhill at the age of 92 years, and a brother, John F.Huoributt, of Nashua, N.H., is 89 years of age.The funeral took place at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Jenkins Friday, Feb- roary 16th, Rev.W.T.Smith officl- ating assisted byRev.A.McLaren.The former spoke from Ps.XXITI:4.Mu- slo was supplied by the choir of the Smith\u2019s Mills Church, the following hymne being sung: \u2018\u2018Asleep in Jesus,\u201d \u201cBeautiful Land on High,\u201d \u201cThe Cbristian\u2019s Good Night.\u201d The bearers were the following old neighbors and friends: Carlos P.Davis, James Young B.B.Bates and Jas.A.Hutchison.There was a profusion of beautiful flowers.The interment was at Ruiter\u2019s Corner.Be CARD OF THANKS.We desire, through the JOURNAL, to extend our sincere thanks to all the peighbors and friends for their kindness in our time of trouble;

11-23 ¥ Nearly seventy\" WAS A VERITABLE \u201cLIVE WIRE.\" Nise Phelps Rleotrifisd Audience with Talk on Temperance story sud Travel.\u201cMise Phelps will speak on temperance at the Congregational Church, Sunday evening.Try to be there.\u201d That is the message which came over the \u2019phone Saturday evening, Now, there is nothing particularly interesting about this announcement, unless you happen to know, or to have heard Mies Phelps\u2014but should Miss Phelps come this way again the Congregational church would not begin to hold the audience, judging by the enthuei- asm of Sunday night's meeting.Those who went expecting to hear the ordi- unary \u2018\u2018lecture\u201d were disappointed.The address was altogether too interesting to be considered a lecture.In colloquial phrases Miss Phelps is a \u2018Jive wire\u2019 and the audience was simply electrified.She has traveled all over the world and has the world\u2019s history on her tongue\u2019s end.The word-pictures of the different countries, cities and towns visited by the speaker paved the way and won attention for her unanswerable indictment of the saloon.She quoted history to show that the ancient nations had fallen from their high civilization through alcholism before they fell by the swords of thelr conquerors.History recorded that on the eve of the decisive battle in 1088 William the Conqueror spent the nighé-in prayer and preparation while the Saxons entered the battlefleld after s night of revelry.The saloon had no inherent rights.Every legalized saloon had been legislated iuto existence and could be lég- islated out of existence.The first Ji- cense was granted in England only a little more than three hundred years ago.Through their representatives the people then reserved the right to revoke the license and they had reserved the same right in the case of all licenses from that day to this.The * Mittle northern countries which had suffered so much from alcholism were the first to throw off the yoke.In Finland, where women vote, the manufacture, importation and sale of alcoholics is prohibited.Iceland has passed & similar law which will come into force in 1015.This little island has a population of 75,000 people and every man, woman and child, who is old enough, knows how to read and write.An interesting feature of Iceland referred to by the speaker, is the fact that there are no trees and no wooden houses on the island, corrogated iron being the universal building material.In Sweden, Stockholm, the capital, is under prohibition.The leading statesman of that country is at the head of the world\u2019s greatest temperance organization\u2014the Good Tem- plars.The government makes an annual grant to the order to assist in temperance work, and most of the country is under prohibition.Sixty members of the Norwegian parliament are prohibitionists and the condition there is much the same as in Sweden.In France the birth rate had fallen below the death rate and the French Government recently appointed a commission to inquire into the cause.Alcoholism was the substance of the commission\u2019s report, and as a result a visitor to gay Paris would see large signs warning people against the evil effects of \u2018\u2018booze,\u201d placed in various parts of the city.These were put up by the Government.In Germany it had been found by carefuily compiled statistics that the stature and endurance of the army were declining.A government commission was appointed, and after exhaustive investigation the decline was credited to lager beer.Now the German Emperor was himself lecturing on temperance, especially to the army and navy.In England brewing atocks had for years yielded much larger profits than any other investment, but owing to recent restrictive legislation they were rapidly declining in value; the eyes of the people were being slowly opened.Turning to America the speaker traced the prohibition movement in the south and gave some particularly interesting facts concerning Okla- boma.No other state or country was just like Oklahoma.Part of thie state c was formerly Indian Territory and be- ac fore the white man\u2019s invasion some of the Indian nations had slaves; they were actually engaged in the slave |» traffic.As a result there was in some sections a mixed race\u2014Indian, \u2018\u2018nigger\u201d and white blood.This type of manhood tho speaker characterized as a \u201ctough combination.\u201d Again Oklahoma bad the greatest oll wells in the world, apd this drew a class of adventurers who cared for nothing except money.The act which gave Oklahoma statehood decreed that no liquor should be sold within its boundaries.Recently the combined liquor interests of the nation had made a determined effort to discredit and defeat prohibition in Oklaboma.In the campaign they spent an enormoun sum of money, and raised the old battle cry: \u201cProhibition does not prohibit; more boose ie s0ld under prohibition than under Hoense.\u201d \u201cDid you ever hear that - statement,\u201d asked the spesker.\u201cWho makes it?There ase just two kinds of people.who do, the saloon-keeper and bis supporters, nobody else.If \u2018|is were possible to sell more boose 2 under prohibition the liquor interests would shout: for probibition so they could sell more boose.Why do people go into the saloon business,\u201d asked tbe speaker, and snswering her own question, said: \u201cBecause greater profits are made in it than in any other business; it takes fewer brains and there is more money in it.\u201d After testing probibition under the most trying conditions in Oklaboma the people of that state had over- whelmiogly declared iu its favor.Miss Phelps gave some interesting facts concerning the civilized nations of Oklahoma Indians, Of these the Cherokees were the most enlightened of all; in the old days they had their own seminaries, eubstantiai brick buildings which would do credit to any people.These had been converted into public schools which rank among the foremost of the land.In Tahlequah Miss Phelps was met at the railway station by a fuli-blooded Cherokee Indian woman who wore a sun-bonnet and drove a spirited horse.Pointing to a pretentious seminary building she said with pride: \u201cI tell you, there was a good deal of culture here before the white people came.\u201d Continuing her argument Miss Phelps said: \u2018It is not the saloon k r that we are fighting, but the organized liquor trafic.\u201d The attitude of the liquor interests had always been one of open defiance; they bad not stopped short of murder.In proof of this statement she cited the case of a prohibition preacher in the West who was one night shot dead by a brewer almost in the shadow of his own home and church.The speaker urged the W.O.T.U.to be up and doing.\u2018\u2018Grit, grace and gumption\u2019 were the essentials of suc- cesa/ Miss Phelps told something of social and moral reform work, counseled mothers to be just a little more care- fal of their daughters and appealed to men to show all women the same kindness they would have shown their owb mothers and sisters by other men.At no point was the personal mag- netiem of the speaker shown to better advantage than when, in behalf of the Provincial W.C.T.U., she appealed for a generous contribution to aid temperance work in Quebec.She asked for ten dollars and got twenty- five.Aftewards in thanking the audience, she stated that tbis was the largest collection yet taken in the Province.In explanation the pastor, Rev.H.F.Hallet, claimed this was due to the presence of so many \u2018\u2018States people\u2019 in the audience.Miss Phelps belongs to Bt.Cath- arines, Ont., and is at present engaged by the Dominion Alliance.MARRIAGE 1S VALID.In Montreal, Thareday, judgment in the celebrated case was rendered by Hon.Justice Charbonueau, who upheld the validity of the marriage and maintained that any officer authorized to selemnize marriage can marry any two persons who observe the ordinary formalities, including a mar- ligion may be.The judge holds that the Ne Temere Decree has no effect as against the Civil Code, which, he holds, authorizes all persons who are allowed to keep registers of civil status to perform marriages.As to the marriage between Emma Clouatre and Eugene Hebert, solemnized by the Rev.William Timber- lake, a Methodist minister, author ized to keep a register of civil status, on July 14th, 1808, he holds that it was performed legally.He upholds Madame Hebert\u2019s opposition to the judgment declaring the marriage illegal, rendered by Mr.Justice Laurendeau by default on March 23rd, 1911, and sete aside such judgment.DIED.RUITER\u2014At 8mith's Mills, Que., Feb.14, 1912, Lucinda _Huributt, widow of the Iate Wel lington Buiter, in her 87th year.BORN.DAVIB\u2014At Heathton.Que., Feb.25, 1612, » daughter to Mr.and Mra.Ernest Davis.Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the meat of the disease.Catarrh is & blood or conatitutionai disease, and in order to ou must take internal remedies.Hat!

remember they bave hag possession of a right of way across the Magoon farm to the oid lime kiln where a wharf once existed.The old roadway was paved with stone and ran along the outside of the pasture fence.A year or two ago the property was acquired by G.F.Greenwood, & Montreal capitalist and promoter.Late last tall the fence was moved so as to take the roadway inte the pasture.At the upper end provision bas been made for a gate, which, however, is pot yet hong, but without which the pasture fence would be useless.Residents in the vicinity are looking for the gate; they will, it is said,

these N => DIFFERENT KD este FARM AND FIELD KEEP YOUR SHEEP DRY \u201cKeep them dry\u201d was the answer given by a successful wool grower when he was asked how sheep should be wintered in the north-west.\u201cSheep will survive oold weather, ticks, starvation and lack of water, but let them get one good soaking with a ohill following, and you will have your hands full to save your flock.Sheep will stand a great deal of cold if they are kept dry and given plenty of fresh air and nutritious food.Their sleeping sheds should be cleaned out regularly and kept as dry as possible.When sheep come into the shed In winter with thelr fleeces coated with snow they bring in a lot of moisture, and with it the danger of cold.If their fleeces are as oly ae they should they will shed the water, but the moisture stil] remains in the shed, and my instructions to my fMockmasters are to clean out the sheds after every storm so that the sheep always bave dry bedding.-Once they catch oold and decline until they are \u201con the Ht\u201d it is all up with them and you might as well pick out a burying ground there and then.Any shelter that will keep out the rain and snow and admit fresh air will suffice for sheép.But they must also have an abundance of food to maintain the Leat in their bodies.The poorest roughage is timothy hay and straw, but if it is balanced up with bran end grein and an ocoacsional feed of roots it will be all right.A box of salt should be kept ero the sheep can get at it at all times and they should never be denied all the water they need.A Well Balanced Ration The following rations for datry cows of 1,000-Ibs.welght have been proposed.These rations are properly balanced and contain sufficient dry matter for the proper nutrition of a cow of that weight The amount of grain fed varies according to the production of the individual cow: Alfalfa hay 10 lbs, corn stover at will, ensilage 30 to 40 Ibs, ground corn five lbs, wheat bran five lbs.{inseed meal, 1% Ibe, 1 Ib.grain to 8 to 4 Ibs.of milk daily.Alfaitsa hey 10 ibs.clover bay at will, corn silage 30 to 40 Iba, corn\u2019 and cob meal 8 Ibs, wheat bran 3, ibs, cotton seed meal 3

eggs.We are just beginning to find out that fresh air is necessary even in winter and that hot, stuffy houses and eggs do not go together.I was in a poultry house recently costing $200 that I would not exchange for one I have that cost $60.It was Moely lathed and plastered, but there was absolutely no ventilation.My ideal of a poultry house is one that is open In the front and moderately cheap.Experience teaches us that this is the kind of house in which hens will lay in winter.Some years ago when at North Bay I noticed that the hotel keeper kept chickens out of doors altogether.I have seen his hens roosting in the trees when the temperature was 48 degrees below zero.And those hens were laying too.Why Corn Runs Out Many corn growers find that when using the same seed year after year that their corn will \u201crun out.\u201d They\" think that great improvement can be obtained by changing seed ocoasion- | ally and getting their seed corn from & crop grown on a different kind of soil.A change of seed Is good, if one can get seed that has been properly selected.But there is the trouble.Most farmers never think of thelr seed until they have the ground fitted for planting, when they will hunt through some they happen to have left or will run over to some neighbour who they know had a good fleld of corn the year before.Thie practice is wrong and will give but indifferent results.This is what causes corn to \u201crun out\u201d If we have a good field of corn, let us go through it Just before it is cut and select the kind of corn we want.Food Value of Cheese According to a circular issued the United States Department of Agriculture we ought to eat more cheese.Cheese, it 1a stated, has twice the food value of fresh beef, and one pound of it is equal to two pounds of eggs or three ds of fish.Bx.periments carrfed out by German solentists sasocieted with the Department of Agriculture have led them to advocate strongly the eating of cheeses.It proved of great benefit to the general health of the subject used In their experiments.The farm that you live upon is not yours.Did you ever stop to think of that fact?You are only a tenant during your life time and must

construction of a tunnel through one of the mountains in the Black Forest.Having a grudge against his foreman, he succeeded one night in altering the position of the stakes which marked the eourse \u2018of the work.The excavators were working upon the tunnel in two seotioms, one from the north and one from the south.Owing to the shifting of the stakes the sections, instead of being ' directed to the same point, were found to be twenty-six feet apart when they reached the middle of the mountain.The northern halt of the tunnel had, therefore, to be entirely reconstructed, at a cost of $875,000.KING A FARMER King George ts a monarch who does not scorn to make money by side Hnes.From his model farms at Windsor, Balmoral, and Sandringham he derives a handsome revenue, and maintains a

big sums from inventions for which they have been responsible.The reigning Grand Duke of Oldenburg, for example, has invented a form of propeller which most of the German warehips and liners use.À

CANADA Sir Thomas Lipton at a dinner in Chicago praised Canada\u2019s bigness.\u201cI once heard,\u201d he said, \u2018a Saskatchewan farmer talk about the big farma they have up there.\u201c\u2018We have some sizable farms,\u2019 he said, thoughtfully.\u2018Yes, sir; pretty sizable.\u2018I've seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring a Then he turned around and barves back.\u2019 \u201c \u2018Wonderful,\u2019 said I.\u201c\u2018On our Saskatchewan farms,\u2019 he went on, \u2018It's the usual thing to send young married couples out to milk the cows.Their children bring home the milk.* \u2018Wonderful,\u2019 I repeated.\u201d\u2018Once,\u2019 he seid, \u2018I saw a Saskatchewan farmer's family prostrated with grief.The women were weeping, the dogs were barking, the children were squalling, and the tears streamed down the man's face as he got into his tweaty-mule team and drove oft.\u201d ted .color scheme of the decorations is a la special way, an electric grill

apartments.The larger of these is called the women's car, a place where the women travellers may retire and rest in the luxurious easy chairs.The - 1 HIT delicate shade of green and the apart ment is kept comfortable by an automatic ventilating system.For passengers who have a hobby for cooking, or whose health requires that their meals shall be prepared in been added to the women's car.The newest and most efficient electric cooking appliances, with a hood and fan to carry away any fumes, allow the fastidious to prepare dainties as easily as they could over the chafing dish in their own homes, Officials of the Chicago Burlington and Quinoy Rafiroad Company say this innovation, contemplated for some time, has been hastened by the constantly increasing patronage of women travellers.The smaller part of the new cars is a lounging room for men.The two trains on which the women's cars have been installed are the Minnesota Limited, which leaves Chi cago at 6:30.in the evening, and the Chicago Limited, leaving St.Paul every evening at 8:30.If the innovation proves as popular as it is expected it will be extended through the entire Burlington service.The new plan is already being watched by other railroads, which are, it 1s said, considering the installation of similar exclusively women's care.\u2014- New York Sun.Planos From Chicago.Chicago is the largest plano producing centre in the world, turning out annually more than 100,000 instruments, which are shipped all over the world.Manila alone, within the last two years, has taken over 1,100 planos.Mexico, \u2018until the troubles overtook that republic, took more than 6,000 planos annually from Chicago, and Central and South Amerioa, especially the Argentine Republic, have been great consumers of Chicago pianos.Up to a few years ago Germany sent all the instruments that were shipped to these countries.But the German woods in the cases would not stand the climates.It was Milwau- Kee that first discovered this and sent trade emissarles to the faraway lands.Within a few years Chicago has built up a large export, trade in this line.What holds good of the plano also holds good of band instruments, Chicago sells, approximately, 100.000 plance a year, aggregating In value about $50,000,000, which is about one-third of the entire product of the nation\u2014Chicago Tribune.Hurt by War Relics.While in

eagle's aerle, with five little eaglots, is on the Davis farm in the town of Somerset, Niagara County, on the shores of Lake Ontario, For many seasons past two American eagles have made their

the old birds as wel) as by the members of the Davis family.Hunters ere forbidden by law to shoot the birds.\u2014Rochester Post Ex.presa, Rubber Shipments.The rudber shipments from \u2018Mexico

matter.In a bulletin relative to the best posibilities obtained by forcing - or retarding the development of pullets by feeding, J.HE.Rice of Cor nel gives the following which was obtained from the data furnished: Forced pullets made a better profit than retarded pullets.Forced pullets ate less food.per hen at less cost per hen than retarded pullets.Forced pullets produced more eggs of a larger size, at less cost per dosen than retarded pullets.Forced pullets produced more eggs during early winter than retarded pul lets.- Forced pullets have better hatching results of eggs than retarded pullets.Forced pullets made a better per centage of gain in weight than tarded pullets.Forced pulllets showed less broodiness than retarded pullets.Forced pullets siowed better vigor than retarded pullets.?Forced pullets showed the first mature molt earlier than retarded pul lets.Retarded pullets gave better fertility of eggs than forced pullets.Hopper fed dry mash gave better results in gain of weight, reduction of eggs, hatching power of eggs, days lost in molting, mortality, health and profit per hen than wet mash.Wet mash and grain fed pullets consumed slightly less food at less cost, and produced eggs at slightly less cost per dozen than dry mash and grain fed pullets.Feeder Saves Trouble.Poultrymen will be interested in this invention of an Illinois man.A quadrangular box of pyramidal shape, with the small end below divided into four compartments.Four hollow legs, one running from each compartment, support it, and the lower ends of the legs are stationed in circular cups.The reservoir can be filled with the same kind of feed, or a different kind can be kept fn each compart ment.By means of a cutoff just above each leg the feed can be kept in the box, or can be allowed to flow Has Four Compartments.down into one or all of the cups.This apparatus can be kept in the chicken yard, and the \u2018cups filled whenever needful.The trouble of measuring out a can of feed each time is obviated, although where there are many chickens it would be well to have several of these devices, or the smaller or weaker fowls will not be able to fight their way up the cups, whereas when the feed is scattered on the ground they have a better chance.Starting a Turkey Flock.In picking stock from which to start a turkey, flock, make your cal culation that some are wild and some are tame.The bronze variety is very desirable for the market on account of its size and the sweet flavor of its meat.But on account of its wild, roving disposition this variety is hard to raise.The birds nearly always hide their nests, and perhaps will not be seen for a month or two at hatohing season.The White Hollands are more.domesticated, and are more apt to make their nests about the barn and outbuildings, as chickens do.They are also layers, having a record of as high as ten eggs at one clutch.They are probably a little harder to raise than the Bourdon Reds, which, dy the way, are handsome birds, but do not become quite so tame.All turkeys are peculiar about their nests, and when they once select the location they must not be disturbed.Bits of meat carried out with

Ohto.Up the Maumese River at & cou- venient distance from the city Ar Spitzer has located his summer hou:e, which \u2018consists of four separate de tached houses, three of which are exclusively for sleeping.All are of heavy canvas stretched over frames of pine, with board floors raised abou! two feet from the ground.Each building has two canvas roofs, says \u201cCountry Life in America,\u201d one being about eight inches above the other.\u2019 -This not only makes the roomŸ cooler, but in case of a severe storm it prevents any leaking.The canvas is made in sections of proper size, stretched over the wooden frame and fastened to it with screw eyes passed through holes cut about the edge of .{ the canvas, Thus moving in or out is A simple matter.At the end of the season the canvas can easily and quickly be taken down, leaving only the wooden frame exposed to the weather during the winter.If the woodwork is paint ed to prevent its becoming water soaked, rotting will be prevented for several years, The furniture may be skipped back to the city home or placed in a small, inexpensive stable or automobile house near by as desired.Reconstructing the house upon the return of summer ls equally simple.Chateaubriand\u2019s Early Struggles.A new discovery has been made about Chateaubriand: nothing less than that he once sold stockings on commission.It was in 1790, when he
