"Many can recall the night when

M.CtX) to pay if i mortgage on an old
soldier's f Arm," said Itcv. W. A.
Brown, pastor of tho Washington Ave
nue Methodist Kplsropal Church, on
the West Side, last night "I was a
member of the Grand Avenue Church
at the time. It was about 1SS9. The
bishop waa traveling through Kansas
when he heard of an old soldier who
was about to lose his farm boos use of
n mortgage. He came to Kansas City
to deliver his lecture, 'The Sunny. Side

to devote the receipts to paying off tho

"Tlio church was crowded, and In
abotit ten minutes every cent neces

pointed to pay off the mortgage.
"Rlshop McCabe received thousands
of dollars for that lecture, but gave
every cent to charity. Once on his re
turn from South America, so they aay,
he visited a wealthy friend.
'"Well, bishop,' said the friend, Mid
you come back "without making any

" 'Not exactly,' replied the bishop,
'but I only pledged $50,000.'
" 'How much of thnt do you expect
me to give'?' Inquired his host.
"'Well, ubout a tenth,' said the
bishop.

Idea of the enterprise was to disprove
a theory, which All attributes to engi
neering employers, thnt after a man
has reached 45 years of age he Is use
less for manual labor.
Some gentlemen who were desirous
of disproving this theory agreed to

Holland, Italy and Germany, but failed
to get Into Itussln. Ilia record now Is

Tho chronicle of one of thr old Span
ish travelers, published in l.V'.l, snys:
"The people of Peru rat a tuberous
root Which they call papns." The Span
lards took this root to Spain, where It
was grown as "the truffle 'root." The
Italians very quickly adopted It Into
their gardens and soon the Dutch were
cultivating It with much the tninn seal
that they displayed for tulips. Of Its
Introduction Into Kngland. all' that we
are mire of Is that In 15SI1 Sir Walter
Raleigh was growing potatoes lu his
Irish garden.
Thomas Harlot In his account of Vir
ginia name potatoes among tho roots
that were found (trowing tht-re. saying
that some of them were as big as a
walnut and others considerably larger.
This Virginia potato seems to havn
been that which Is now known as the
Irish while that grown In Pern Is mor
likely to have been a sweet otnt. An
other writer, describing the esculents
of Virginia, says that the potato root
Is thick, fat and tuberous, not differ
ing much In shaiH from the sweet po
tato, except that the roots are not so
great or long, while some of them are
round as a ball aud others nro oral, In
the egg fashion.
Early In the seventco-.lh century Ita
lelgh's plantation of xtatoc8 had lcor
repeated all over Ireland, but tho farm
crs of Engliv.tf, moved by stublxirc
prejudice ond possibly In pnrt by Jeal
ottsy, iVslded that they would have
notM.Tg to do with tho tuber. It wai
e late as the time of Charles II, cer
tainly It was after the Cromwelllan ev
Isode, before the potato got any fall
hold In English soil.
Gilbert White, writing In 117S. sayi
thnt potatoes had prevailed In his dls
trlct for about twenty years and that
this had been brought about "only bj
means of premiums," but that potatoes
were then much esteemed by the poor
er people, who would scarcely have
ventured to taste them In tho previous
reign.
Another writer speaks of them as n
rather questionable product possibly
to become hitmen food, "although rath
er flatulent and acid for the human
stomach." He recommends boiling them
with dates and thinks that such n com
bination would keep soul and body to
gether for those who aro too poor to
get anything better.
The story of the Introduction of the
Ktato Into France has been often told.
The country people were so convinced
of the poisonous nature of the tuber
that they would not give It n trial. Its
friends were actually mobbed for try
ing to Introduce n food that would
poison the people. The story goes in
two ways. One of these tells us that
King Louis XVI. wore potato blossoms
In his buttonhole and had potatoes on
his royal table nntH they Ikciuiio pnj)
ular with the aristocratic classes.
Another story recounts how a cele
brated physician nnd philanthropist
planted a field of potatoes, about which
he placed a guard, with Instructions
to allow just as much thieving as xssl
&le. The poorer people, believing n veg
etable that deserved such watchful care
must be of great value, stole nearly
the whole of them. In this way their
prejudices were overcome nml n valua

lllirh Bock Wolf n rte-.
Our esteemed fellow citizen, High
Back Wolf, was seen on our streets
l-.vontly. Mr. Wolf was accompanied
by hi. two wives. High is a good-natured
Indian, with bow legs, hooked
nose and humpish back, which latter
physical peculiarity In connection with
his aggravated apin-tlte for raw dog
suggested his name to his compatriots
on the banks of the Washita.
Mr. Woir was caught In the lurch
when the government enacted tho one
wife law for the Indians and found
hi nisei f surrounded with two wives nnd
twenty-four children. High grinned
good naturertly. nnd consulted a lawyer
to devise ways and means of reducing
the wife surplus, but as there were no
annals among the Indians to tell which
wife was first attached to High Back
and neither of them was willing to
Jar loose from blsepee without legal
process High said: "Ugh, heap much
wire; heap lucky Injln." and began to
hustle for extra dead wohaw and
canines.
Mrs. WJf. Jr., Is some four feet
cross the breast, with height to match ;
has dreamy black eyes and a cultured

met the other Mrs. Wolf, but she Is
described as being a dark complex

cheekbone sister, who neither chows
tobacco nor drinks. The Wolf family

Royal Debt to a Spider.
On the celling of one of the rooms
In Sana Soucl, the world renowned
palace of Frederick the Great, Is paint
ed a great spider with Its web. The
origin of this strange decoration Is as
follows :
This apartment was the great king's
breakfast room and adjoined his bed
'.'hamber. Every morning when his
majesty entered the room he was ac
customed to find a cup of chocolate,
but on one occasion Just as he was
about to drink he thought of something
he had forgotten aud returned to- ills'
bedroom. When he again entered the
breakfast room his inaJcRty discovered
that o great spider had Uropjied from
the celling luto the cup and he natur
ally cried out for fresh duxxilute to be
prepared.
The next moment the king was star
tled by the report of a pistol. No
sooner had the cook received the order
than he blew out his brains. Not be
cause the king had refused the choco
late did he do this, but because he
had thought himself discovered. It
was In remembrance of this narroyv
escuie that his majesty ordered the
spider with Its web to be painted. on
the celling.

Fifteen cents Invested In harness re

Persons suffering from any dlsca?
or who have been In contact with con

Mating should be more than Just
sending to get a rooster or some liens.
If the breeding Is to be successful, the
mating she.uld have some object In
view.
The labor of the dairyman Is a never-ending
cue. He feeds the cow to
make the calf and then feeds the calf
to make a cow, and thus It goes on
forever.
It does not take as long to scoop out
a load of corn as It does to husk It,
but It requires more back muscle and
greater endurance than It does to gath

One good thing can be said of n
strawstack hog house. It does not
have a foul smell, as many hog bouses
do. A hog will keep Its bed clean If
given a chance, but It does not have
reasoning powers that will enable If
to escape the extremes of heat and
cold usually r'-v.iud In a straw-stack
bed.
When the orchard trees begin to lock
horns one Is ::t a loss to know what
to do. It Is Irird work to cut out trees
where there are too many, nnd yet that
seems to be the cure. There are sev
eral ways of cutting them out. The
rows may run regularly, diagonally or
any way to keep them from "locking
horns."
A simple nail puller can be easily
made from une-quarter-inch Hat file
that has survived its usefulness. A
convenient size is o:ie Inch wide, one
quarter Inch thick and one foot long.
It should be heated ml formed like
a hammer claw. One of its chief uses
is In taking down barbed wire fence
and removing tin roofing.
Moldy corn fodder may be eaten by
stock if they don't have anything else
to sntisfy their appetites. Nevertheless
that does not mean that such fodder
Is as good as bright fodder. If you

blessed a great deal more than some
of your neighbors.
A garden owner says: I have often
destroyed cabbage worms by throwing
road dust over them, also with tansy
tea, but this year both failed and my
cabbage was nearly ruined, when a
neighbor recommended snlt water,
which proved a success. Put a cup of
salt In a pall of water and when dis
solved, wet the cabbage with It 'and
you will soon be rid of the worms.
Thirty billion, noj million, ftOT thou
sand feet tills was the total cut of
lumber In the Vnlted States during
1905. These figures were compiled by
the Forest Service In co-opcratlon with
the National Lumber Manufacturers'
Association, and are believed to be as
nearly correct as Is possible to gatTier.
They were compiled from the return
of 11,600 establishment. The estl
mated value of this product Is five bun
dred million dollars. In the klud of
lumber yellow pine led, and walnut
foots the list, the total cut of the lat
ter being only 2i),8M feet.
Pruning- I'eaeh Treea.
As the result of experiments at the
Massachusetts experiment station, the
following would seem to tie the best
method of peach tree pruning:
1. Prune peach trees moderately, re
moving not more than one-third to one
half the previous year's annual growth,
when the wood has been Injured by
freezing.
2. When only the fruit buds aro
killed, the wood being uninjured and
the trees In good condition, prune Re
verely, cutting back the annual growth
to two or three buds. It may be expe
dlent to cut some branches back even
nto two or three-year-old wood.
('OH of Soft-Shell Kb a a.
Hens that acquire the habit of laying
soft-shell eggs should Is? watched very

There are two causes for soft eggs.

overfed they will show It by the lack
of eagerness with which they eat new

days. Grit or crushed oyster shells

Stornae llonae for Applea.
Kcplylng to a correspondent who
wanted to know how to construct a
house for Ftorlng apples, the Country
tientlenian gives the following advice:
"A house for storing apples should
be made as nearly air tight as possi
ble. Set the sills In mortar, and do It
well. lA't the floor lie- double, with
sheathing paper letvecn the two
thicknesses of boards. Double-board
the outside and use paper between.
Cell up on the Inside, filling In letwecn
with sawdust. Do not put In any win
dows unless they are covered with
tight shutters. Should the weather at
any time lie warm, open the doors and
windows at night, and close tightly
In the morning. The main secret of
keeping apples Is an even temperature,
ns nenr the freezing point ns possible.
not below It; keep them dry, and do
no; permit circulation of air."
1)troylnir rakbaare Worma.
Farm, stock and Home gives the fol
lowing method of destroying cabbage
worms: Simply sprinkle the flour of
sulphur freely on the cabbage. Fill the
cover of a baklg powder can with
small nail holes, like n pepper box,
fill the can with sulphur nnd use for a
sifter. Do not wait until the worms
appear on the cabbage before apply
ing It, but begin with It as soon as the
first white butterflies are seen circling
over the cabbage patch. Immediately
after a rain or while the cabbages are
wet with dew sift sulphur over them,
well down among the leaves, two or
three times a week. If there Is neither
rains nor dew, wet the cabbage with a
watering pot or sprinkle with n whisk
broom and pall of water, 11s the cab
bages must be wet so the sulphur will
adhere to them. It destroys the -eggs,
also the worms. We never failed to
have line cabbage, free from, worms,
when all our neighbors who did not use
our plan had their cabbage destroyed
by worms.
Seedn and Weed.
I'liclean seed has more to do with
the distribution of weeds than all
other causes combined. These are
brought upon our farm from garden
and field seeds from foreign countries.
Russian flaxseed Is responsible for the
introduction of the Russian thistle,
which first appeared uihiii a single
farm, nnd now covers over 40,(HK)
square miles of the 1'nlted States. Al
falfa, ls'et, turnip and other field nnd
garden seeds Imported from Eur!'
are the potent cause of the contamina
tion of our lands with farm weeds.
Nor are the fanners of1 this country
at all particular In saving their seeds,
fields containing weeds often being set
aside for a seed crop, insuring the
foulest seeds lu many cases. And then.
In the purchase of seeds, the farmer
Is not careful to buy pure s(ed only,
but plants whatever some dealer offers
him. I'ntll these methods nre done
away with we must expect to have new,
pernicious weeds constantly appearing
among our crops.

A sympathetic aud accurate record
of each and every cow in a dairy herd
14 valuable for many reasons. First,
the owner determines which animal to
retain und which to weed out. Every
cow showing n deficient bolnnce sheet
under average conditions should be sold
to the butcher at once. Second, it en
courages accuracy and system. Third,
It enables the feeder to Judge the com
parative value of different feeds.
Fourth, If a cow Is not doing properly,
the fact Is at once noticed on her milk
sheet and the nesessary changes may
be made to restore the animal to her
proper condition. Fifth, it furnishes a
good way of checking careless or indif
ferent milkers. Sixth, It bIiows any
It regularity, effect of curly or late milk
ing, effect of high or low temperature,
effect of exposure to cold or storms and
the effect of drinking Ice-cold water.
Last, aud most Important, the daily
milk record tells exactly ench month
Just what the cows are doing. No dairy
con bo successfully conducted without
it. Keeping an accurate record is one
of the most important parts of the busi
ness. Growth of t'aelesa Animal Uraana.
In many animals there are certain
organs which, useful In their earlier
stages, have apparently been so greatly
dee!oied as to become rather hin
drances. The horns of certain deer,
for exauiple, useful weapons of defense
when smaller, have become so large
as rather to handicap the animals In
the struggle for life. The huge over
gtown teeth, or tusks, of certain of the
boar family may be cited as further ex
amples. These are sometimes explained
as organs which have been more useful
In their present state uuder former dif
ferent conditions, and which have per
sisted through heredity. In the Amer
ican Naturalist, however. Mr. F. B.
Ixiomis brings forward another explan
ation. He thinks the growth of such
organs Is due to what he calls "momen
tum In variation." As a variation pro
ceeds In a certnln direction, It ac
quires, like a body moving uuder tho
action of gravity, a nior.nenyiin which
n ay carry It past the stoge of greatest
utility. This factor In evolution, Mr,
Iom1s thinks, has not been assigned'
the Importance It deserves,
Other evolutionists, however, have
suggested that when an animal or plant
bits once started to vary In a given dl
rectlou. It acquires a tendency to go on
varying In that direction. And this,
although the word momentum Is not
tiied, agrees with the above theory,
MOTHERHOOD
The first requisite of a good
