Many of the farmers of Red Willow
county- are readersof the Iowa Home
stead of Des MoinesIowaand believers
in the gospel of scientific practical agri
culture To all these and many others
it will be interesting to know that the
Homestead increased its circulation in
the year of 1905 from 60000 to over 75000
a gain of over 25 per cent Of this vast
number of farmers over 50000 are resi
dents of Iowa making it a powerful ad
vertising medium to reach the agricul
tural interests of the Hawkeye state
while large numbers are citizens of Illi
nois Nebraska and neighboring states
The Homestead is edited by men who
live on and operate their own farms
which gives their doctrines greater value
than the writings of mere theorists The
foremost experts in agriculture live
stock breeding horticulture dairying
and all the various branches of husband
ry in the Middle West are contributors
for the Homestead The McCook Tri
bune would be glad to see the circula
tion of the Homestead still further in
creased in this vicinitv and will take
pleasure in forwarding your subscrip

The Ruling PiihhIoii Strong In Death
The ruling passion of Edward I of
England was undoubtedly the pursuit
of his ideal of uniting all the British
Islands under one rule His great ob
stacle was Scotland and the conquest
of Scotland therefore became a pas
sion Avith him Stronger than years It
sent him to the head of the army when
he was fit only for a sick bed and
when he was at last compelled to
yield he sought to make this passion
spur on his sou by ordering that the
flesh should be boiled from his bones
and that his skeleton should be car
ried at the head of the army and re
main unburled till Scotland was con
quered
This is the most conspicuous instance
of the ruling passion strong in death
on record though many others would
be worthy of quotation William Pitts
patriotism endured to his last gasp and
inspired his last utterance as did Nei
sons lifelong determination to secure
the command of the sea while Napo
leons last dream was one of battle

A clever smuggling trick has been
played on a customs officer on the
Russo German frontier An innocent j
looking peasant reported to tne omcer
a plot for getting a large number of
pigs across the frontier The method
he said would be to drive across at in
tervals of half an hour 3 G 12 and 200
pigs the smugglers arguing that if the
first three lots could be sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200
The officer was naturally on the alert
In accordance with the peasants state
ment three pigs were driven over then-
six followed by twelve All were al-
lowed to pass and preparations were
made to receive the 200 But no more
pigs appeared and the twenty one ani
mals admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety Berlin Cor

Rudimentary Hind Limbs
Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi
mentary hind limbs In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally of
hind limbs The fore limbs in them
are converted into the flippers or
swimming paddles Yet when the skel
eton is examined traces of a haunch
and attached rudimentary thigh bones
are found There is developed in cer
tain kinds of whales a bony piece rep
resenting the haunch The thigh bone
Is distinct but there is a mere rudi
ment attached to it representing the
shin bone or tibia of other animals
Ancient Remedies For Hiccoughs
The hiccough seems to be a modern
and dangerous disease but the ancients
knew it and prescribed remedies that
might now be tried advantageously
Galen recommended sneezing Aetius
approved of a cupping instrument with
great heat to the breast Alexander be
lieved In an oxymel of squills Alsaha
ravius made use of refrigerant drafts
Rhases put his trust in calefacients
such as cumin pepper rue and the
like in vinegar Rogerius looked kindly
on calefacient attenuant and carmina
tive medicines
Tlie Giant Bell
Russia is famed for the manufacture
of great bells The Giant cast in
Moscow in the sixteenth century

cast along with other metal into a beli
which weighed 443000 pounds the
metal of which alone is valued at 300

A Patient Scot
Alexander Innes Sliand in his A
Medley of Memories writes of an eld
Scotchman whom he knew in his boy
hood He used to drive cattie in a
flowing flowered dressing gown which
had been passed on to him and he only
shaved his gray beard at long inter
vals One of my earliest recollections
is seeing him biting off the tails of a
litter of terrier puppies in the court
yard He was a philosopher in his own
way and with the free run of the serv
ants hall and butlers pantry he took
life easily
He never complained Once when
the landlord paid a morning visit that
personage splashed from the drainage
outside the door Into a puddle within
where some ducklings were disporting
themselves and the wet was dripping
over him from the blackened rafters
Why John was the exclamation
you are in a terrible state here We
must have your roof overhauled Aye

Etiquette of Cannibalism
Even among the savages of French
Africa who eat human flesh there are
differences said Paul Pucci a young
Italian traveler Some while ago
when exploring in that country I learn
ed a good bit about the ways of the
various tribes In a majority of them
cannibalism is indulged only when the
bodies are those of prisoners taken in
battle It is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon mem
bers of the same tribe This delicacy
of sentiment however is not universal
and in one tribe in particular where I
noted the absence of any old persons-
I learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the lo
cal food supply This confined the pop
ulation to the young and hardy for
at the first signs of decrepitude the
boiling pot was called into
Post
Art by tlie Ton
An American city once asked Mac
Monnies the sculptor to enter a design
for army and navy groups for a sol
diers and sailors monument He de
clined to compete Then the commis
sion was tendered to him outright He
submitted sketches of his idea for the
groups The committee in charge of
the monument wrote him asking
How many tons of granite do you in
tend to use in the base His reply
was If you are in the business of
buying granite you may use as much
as you want one ton or 100000 tons
I am an artist and I never yet heard
of art being bought by the pound
The question was dropped until the
contract for the commission was
drawn When Mr MacMonnies re
ceived it he discovered in it a clause
providing that in case the bronzes were
ever thrown down from their base by
any cause whatever and any person
or property should be injured he and
his heirs forever should be liable for
the damage sustained He returned
the contract without comment unsign
ed When the committee wrote him
asking the reason his brief reply was

Roof Dorn of New Yorlc
There are dogs in New York that
never set foot on the street They be
long to the janitors in the downtown
buildings and- their runways consist
of the roofs of the buildings In which
their owners live and adjoining roofs
on the same level That is a rare day
when the office worker on looking out
of the sixteenth story window does
not see half a dozen dogs romping
about upon the roofs beneath him
There is one advantage at least in be
ing a roof dog the dog catcher has no
terrors for him
