caure Mr. Cleveland was making
there all of his arrangements for his
return to the office of president. Mr.
Cleveland was looking forward to
meeting the father alcn«. but when he
beheld the senior Morton's embarrass
•.tient at their exchange of greetings
he < utckly understood the situation,
•it: 1 as though everything was just as
he ha.l expected, he began to speak
< f Mr Morton’s high authority as a
tinner and of the valuable work he
had done In that field In Nebraska.
In the first pause, me elder Morton,
not trusting hi;i self to reply, looked
Mmldly towards his son. who instant
ly took up the thread of the conversa
tion. giving the proper answer. After
th-.t the president-elect, though speak
iu:; to the father looked steadily at
the son. He realized that the younger
man »aa standing sponsor for the
older.
At last Mr. Cleveland tendered the
secretaryship of agriculture to Mr.
Mo-ton substantially in these words:
"Mr Morton, this interview has de
•ermined me to ask you to accept a
: !ac* In my ca* net as secretary of
xgnrulture. and 1 shall be very glad
:f you will accept it.”
By this time Mr. Morton's embar
rassment had well nigh overwhelmed
him. and he felt himself in no ccndi
lion to trust to bis own judgment.
Again he looked in the direction of
his son. Ke caught ail encouraging
and alf.rmative expression cn the
yotiug man's free nnd. assured, he
turned to the president-elect.
"Mr. Cleveland.” he said, in his sole
speech of the interview, “1 greatly ap
preciate the honor, and 1 shall be glad
to accept the offer you have made me
of a place in your cabinet.”
Mr. Cleveland extended his hand to
Mr. Morton and led him to the porch
of the cottage. Paul Morton remained
behind, looking at the chair in which
Mr. Cleveland had sat. After awhile
he hunted up Mr. Nathan Straus, own
er of the cottage.
"Mr. Straus.” he said, “my father
has just been offered a place In Mr.
Cleveland’s cabinet and he has accept
ed the offer. It is a very great honor;
I appreciate it more than 1 can tell.
1 am very anxious to secure some
visible memento of this event, and I
am going to ask you if you will let
me buy the chair in which Mr. Cleve
land sat when he offered the cabinet
appointment to my father. Our fam
ily will cherish It as an heirloom."
"No, you cannot buy that chair.” re
plied Mr. Straus, "but I shall deem it
an honor If you will accept it for a
gift.”
In that way Paul Morton secured
one of the most treasured of his
mementoes.

Refused to Become a Diplomat
Preacott Wu Offered the Poeltion of
Minister to Holland, but Declined
on Account cf His Partial
Blindness.
Uecently I told of the half fulfilled
prophecy made by the famous pub
Usher of Longfellow. Hawthorne.
Lowell. Emerson, Whittier. Holmes
-nd other great writers of that "gold* n
ag«~ period regarding the coming of
the present-day school of writers on
The life of the west. Today I tell of
Mr Field's opinion of the historian
Prescott and a little known fact re
lating to him. as they were told to me
by Mr Fields. Of all the great writers
In the English language with whom
Mr Fields had intimate personal as
aocta’ion. it seemed to me from his
scanner wfc. n he talked to me of Pres
cott that he held that well-nigh blind
portrayer of American civilizations of
other days in highest personal esteem.
"Ah. he was a grand character,"
said Mr. Fields, a day or two after he
had returned, in the late seventies,
from what was to be his last trip
abroad. "He was as grand a charac
ter personally as he was intellectual
ly. 1 once asked him if It were true,
as 1 had heard, that when he learned
that Mr. Motley, the historian, was
writing a history of the rise of the
Dutch republic he at once abandoned
the purpose, which he had long con
templated. to write a work of that
character. He told me in reply that
he had collected a great deal of ma
terial for and had outlined the plan
of such a history; but he learned by
mere chance that Mr. Motley had al
ready begun a similar work, so he
abandoned his own plan and ofTered
to send all of the material he had col
lected to Mr. Motley. That was some
time before Motley set sail In 1851 for
Holland to continue his researches for
the history that has given him lasting
fame.
i asKed Mr. Prescott if he did not
think there was room enough for two
histories on the subject. His reply
was characteristic: 'Mr. Motley was
first in the field; he had the right of
pre-eminence.*
"I have always thought that was as !
noble a thing as any man of letters
ever did. And I have sometimes re
gretted." continued Mr. Fields, whose
eyesight, peculiarly enough, was de- ;
fective. as was both Prescott’s and
Parkman's. whose publisher he was, I
"that Mr Prescott was not willing to
listen to the hint that If he were will
ing to accept the offer he could re
ceive appointment as our minister to
some one of the European courts.
"When George Bancroft, who some
years previously had published his 1
great history of the United States, en
tered Polk's cabinet as secretary of
the navy In 1845. he was most am ■
lous that American literary achieve
ment should receive some official
recognition from the new administra
tion other than that conferred upon
him. To that end he talked with the
president, and was authorised to con- '
vey a hint to Mr. Prescott that the !
president would be glad to appoint him i
to some personally satisfactory dipltv i
matic post in Europe. But when the j
hint was taken to Mr. Prescott he
made it clear that however greatly he
would appreciate the compliment of 1
an appointment, it would be Imprac
ticable for him to serve In any po
litical capacity.
“It was not so much his fear that a
i position under the government would
interfere with his literary labors that :
kept him from looking kindly upon j
the hint. The thing that stood In the ■
way in his mind was his partial blind- j
ness—he could see but dimly. I am
sure that he was afraid that that af
fliction would prevent him from doing
his lull duty by his country. And I
am also sure that hut for his afflic
tion, which he bore with sublime pa
tience. he would have been very glad
and happy to serve as United States
minister to Holland.”

HISTORY AND SYMPTOMS OF
DESTRUCTIVE SHEEP SCAB
One of Oldest Diseases of Animal, But Cause Not Discovered
Until Middle of Nlneteentli Century—Proper Treat
ment Will Destroy Mite and Renew
Growth of Wool—Dipping Is
Highly Recommended.
(By EDWIN S. GOOD.)
Historically, sheep scab is one of
the olJest diseases of sheep, but its
cause was not discovered until about
the middle of the nineteenth century
(1835), when the agent producing the
disease was found to be a very small
mite. This mite is light gray in color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
male one-sixtieth of an inch in length.
In general appearance the mite re
sembles a tiny spider. It has four
pairs of legs, the last being very
small, and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which .are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite crawls very slowly, showing
that its power of locomotion is weak.
A female will lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime. These eggs
are so small that they cannot be dis
tinguished with the naked eye. The
period of incubation is from four to
ten days, depending mainly upon tem
perature. Gerlach. a noted authority,
estimates the descendants of a single
female to be 1.000,000 females and
500,000 males at the end of 90 days.
He estimates the average number of
eggs from a single female to be 15,
ten of which hatch females and five
males, and allows 15 days for each
generation.
The first symptom that attracts
one’s attention to the aJTected animal
is Its rubbing certain parts of its back,
sides or tail against some object, or
biting at these parts, as the bites of
Female Scab Mite.
the mite cause intense itching. The
irritation is much more noticeable
when the sheep are warmed up by
driving than when they remain quiet.
Infection generally begins on some
portion of the side or back, and is
usually confined to these parts of the
body.
The infected spot first consists of
a moist, yellowish, dandruff-like sub
stance, often no larger than a pin
head, and unless careful examination
be made, may easily escape detection.
If this place is scratched, the sheep
will respond by a nibbling-like mo
tion of the mouth. Large patches are
formed either by small infected spots
located on different parts of the back
growing and uniting, or by the gradual
enlargement of a single spot. In ob
taining their food, the parasites in
these patches irritate the skin of the
sheep to such an extent as to cause i
the secretion of a large amount of
serum which, in drying, first takes !
on the form of dandruff, and upon
extended irritation the dandruff is re
placed by thick scabs. Where the
scabs first form, the wool seems to be
more firmly attached to the skin than
bejore infection, and stands out in
tufts, giving the fleece an uneven
appearance. In time, however, being
deprived of nutrition, the wool loosens
and drops from the skin; the sheep
loses flesh and presents, on the whole,
a very uncanny appearance; and
eventually, if untreated, dies. Proper
treatment will, however, destroy the
scab mite and renew the growth of
the woo!.
Dipping in a reliable dip is the
proper treatment for sheep afflicted
with the scab.
The federal government has done
a great work in reducing the number
of scabby sheep in this country, but In
spite of its efforts there are plenty of
them in the United States today, a
condition of affairs not to be won
dered at when we consider the gigan
tic task of stamping out such a com
municable disease in as large a coun
try as ours. There are states, how
ever, where no scab exists, the farm
ers and the state authorities having
aided the federal to eradicate it.
Culture of Currants.
For varieties the President Wildet
is probably the best liked as It clings
to the bushes the longest. The Cher
ry. Fay’s Prolific and Perfection art
also very good varieties. The soil for
currants should be very well prepared
and enriched. Practice deep plowing
before planting the currants and ther
put them 6x4 feet. Practice shallow
cultivation and mulch if need be. Pul
in a cover crop the first of July such I
as buckwheat. This can be cultivated
luto the soil in the spring, thus keep
ing up the amount of humus in the |
soil. As one and two year old wood I
produces the best crops, care should j
be taken to see that no wood is over |
two years old. Prune out old wood as
soon as berries are picked out.
Big Missouri Fruit Yield.
The orchard of C. R. Woodson, con
sisting of 260 acres near Agency. Mo.,
last year produced 60 car loads or
marketable apples, netting nearly
$20,000. The trees were sprayed sev
eral times during the season by gov
ernment experts sent from Washing
ton to make experiments.
Value of Cherries.
Cherries pay well in this section on
our gravelly soil and hilly lands. We
set trees on land which has been well
manured two or three years for corn.
We have crops in the orchard for two
or three years, then let the trees have
the land.
Bells on Turkeys.
Turkey breeders who have been
troubled by their charges straying are
recommended by the London Agricul
tural Gazette to put a bell on a few
of the leaders, old hens by preference.
BELGIAN HORSE IS POWERFUL
An Antwerp correspondent of the .
Kansas City Star sends a photo
graph of a pair of the great Belgian
horses that do the work on the docks
of the rapidly growing Flemish port. !
An extract from the letter follows:
"These Belgian horses are in blood i
the same as some that are often ex
ported from the lowlands to the
prairies of Kansas. The pair shown
tn the illustration is typic-. of thou
sands in use every day on the great
wharves here. Each of these can
easily draw two and one-half tons and
they are as gentle as kittens. The
driver—he's more of a companion
than a master—controls them by
means of one little cord, hardly as
heavy as your mother's clothes line.
The trucks look like small flat cars.
He treats them like the good chil
dren they are to him. At noon the
wife comes down to the docks with
lunch, and she and the husband sit
on the truck and eat, while ..he horses
are having their own food. And.
strangest, each horse is given, in ad- !
dition to grain and hay. a great long
loaf of bread. The driver holds it as
the horse bites It off in hunks. They i
seem to enjoy R just as we enjoy \
our dessert.
“They don't need a Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals here
—at least, not so far as horses are
concerned."
EXCELLENCE OF
CLOVER FEEDS
While Most Farmers Recognize
That Red Clover Is Admir
able for Swine Few Under
stand How to Utilize.
(By WALTER B. LECTZ.)
Clover Is the greatest pasture for
hogs—provided it is not allowed to
make pigs thrive at top notch.
The clover blossom Is a very pretty
flower but It is about as much out of
place in the hog pasture as a rose
bush in the corn field.
While most farmers recognize that
red clover is an admirable food for
Bwine, few of them, comparatively, un
derstand how to utilize a clover pas
ture for hogs. We make this asser
tion in view of the fact that clover
is, in many instances, allowed to blos
som in the field devoted to hog-graz
ing.
If the reader will bear in mind for
a moment that the purpose of every
riant is to flower and “go to seed" he
will understand that when the flower
and the seed have formed In succes
sion, the season's work of the plant
is practically over and plant growth
gives place to plant ripening, and de
cay.
"Soon ripe soon rotten" is an old
saying and it indicates what we have
in mind in this discussion.
What we are after In pasturing hogs ;
on clover is feed net posies. If the
clover plants are allowed to ripen
the food-producing capacity of the
plant is reduced.
If, on the other hand, the plants
can be prevented from blossoming to
any great degree, they keep trying to
blossom right along, provided suffi
cient rains descend and in doing so
the hogs are fed.
In districts where clover luxuriates,
and we find such places in many parts
of the country, swine of the right age
may be pastured upon this green food
from about June right up to early fall,
should timely rains maintain a steady
growth of the clover plant.
Don’t expect the ducks to grow un
less they have proper care and feed.

EXCUSE FOR HIS BLUNDERING
Ideal Waiter, True to the End, Had
Been Working Under Pretty
Heavy Handicap.
He was an immaculate servant. To
watch him serve a salad was to watch
an artist at work. To hear his sub
dued accents was a lesson in the art
of voice-production. He never slipped,
hte never smiled, and his mutton-chop
whiskers marked him as one of the
old and faithful stock. But one even
ing. to the surprise of his master, he
showed unaccountable signs of nerv
ousness. When the chicken came on,
he confused it with the pheasant. He
served everything in the wrong or
der, made blunder after blunder, and
put a final touch to his shame by up
setting the salt over the only super
stitious member of the party. Then,
at last, when the ladies had retired to
the drawing room, he touched his mas
ter on the shoulder. “I beg your par
don. sir," he said in a respectful un
dertone, “but could you manage to
spare me now? My house is on fire."
Publicity Law Badly Needed.
Connecticut, District of Columbia,
Kansas. Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi. New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Vermont, have laws
which provide specifically for the re
porting of tuberculosis and which
make provision for the proper regis
tration of living cases of this disease.
In fourteen other states, laws or reg
ulations of the state boards of health
require that tuberculosis be reported
simply as one of a list of infectious
diseases. The following 28 states and
territories have no provision what
ever for the reporting or registration
of tuberculosis cases:—Arizona. Alas
ka. Arkansas. Colorado. Delaware.
Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illi
nois, Kentucky. Louisiana. Missouri.
Montana, Nevada. New Hampshire.

Kissing Breach of Peace.
The better half of a respected citi i
zon of New Jersey recently had the
temerity to hale her lord and master
before the court on a charge of having
kissed her against her will. For this
heinous offense this shameless Jersey
benedict was bonded over in $100 bail
to keep the peace, and, moreover,
was w-arned by the judge never again '
to kiss his wife without first obtaining
her consent in due form. If he is any
kind of a man. probably he will never I
want to kiss her again.—Washington ;

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
‘T wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which I have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
j Last August, Mr. - of this city
came to my office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis
in its worst form. It started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and abdomen—and would
j terminate in little pustules. The itch
| ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
j ing to get relief. I recommended all
| the various treatments I could think
I of and he spent about fifteen dollars
! on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
i to help hitq,
“In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
ods with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as I did not know much about
Cuticura at that time I was doubtful
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es
pecially ru, the fingers, wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to re'ieve
her permanently. When she first ap
plied the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was com
pletely cured.
“I lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. -,
and this was two months ago. I told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me. from the very first day’s use of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
ielieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. I have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits.” (Signed) B.

It was during the hot spell and on
the hottest night of the week that a
South side teacher took a number of
her little charges for a car ride. In
the Public Square they piled out and
were marched to the telescope set up
by a man who rends peeps at the
heavenly bodies at so much per peep.
The children were told that they
might look at the moon, a little lec
ture accompanying the lesson that the
moon was a cold body.
