"I proceeded to inform him that be

wrong and that I wished he would quit
his pettifogging. The lawyers In at
tendance were temporarily petrified;
the venerable Judge glared at me over
his glasses, finally smiled in a forgiv
ing sort of way and told me to pro
ceed. Very soon there was another
well taken objection, and again he
ruled against me. This practically took
the props from under my case, ana I
went at the Judge as my Instructor had

t Telegraph to the iioi uum star
Topeka, Kas., January 26. Mrs.
farrie Nation caustd a great nurry
amonjr tbe saloon keepers of Topeka
to nijtht and as a result was roughly
bandied by a mob. Mrs. Nation ar
rived in Topeka at 3:40 o'clock atd
immediately hunted up a newspaper
reporter, with a rtquest Uiat she be
shown some of the leading saloons of
tbe city. Two newspaper men volun
teered to pilot htr around. She said
she did not wish to begin a smashing
crusade, but .wanted to talk to tbe
liquor sellers. The keepers of the
saloons bad been apprised oi ner
intentions and when she arrived at
Ed. Myers' "joint" on Kansas ave
nue, sne was con iron teu oy me wuc
of the proprietor, who rained blow
after blow on her bead with a
broom t tick, while Myers stood by
and encouraged tbe effort, liy this
time a large crowd had gathered.
among whom were numerous sympa
thizers of Mrs. IN alum. wooooy at
tempted to interfere and soon Mr.
Myers stopped ner assault, mrs. na
tion said she was not hurt by her ex
perience In the least "What does a
broom stick amount to?" she inquired.
to one wbo bas been used to raw
hides, rocks and rotten eggs; tbat
woman should be immediately ar
rested, though. Where is an officer!"
A policeman then appeared on tbe
scene for the purpose of protecting
Mrs ' Nation. He then commanded
the mob to stand back and started up
the street with Mrs. Nation, followed
bv hooting, jeering-rowdies who were
sympathizers with tbe joint keepers.
Mrs Nation at last found refuge in
the editorial rooms of the Topeka
Capital, where the crowd was not al
lowed to enter.
Mrs. Nation then inquired where
she could go to swear out a warrant
against the woman who assaulted her.
Policeman Luster, who was present.
volunteered to take her to the city
attorney's office. As Mrs. Nation and
the policeman stepped from tbe front
door of the Capital building, the
crowd which had been waiting in the
street surged to her. The policeman
instantly drew his pistol and shouted
above the uproar: "I am here to pro
tect this woman, and I will shoot tbe
first man wbo makes a move toward
her. Stand back, you villia ns L''
The crowd fell over each other in
getting out of the way and Mrs. Nation
proceeded to the office of the assistant
attorney, where the warrant was sworn
out The crowd attempted to enter tbe
office building but was kept away by
the police with drawn pistols.
Mrs. Nation then addressed tbe mob
for a few moments and tbey gave her
attention. She gave an explanation of
her action and said she was a law
abiding citizen whenever she raided a
joint, as a joint bad no rights.
Chief ol- Police Stahlis is an ardent
temperance worker and he will order
his officers to protect Mrs. Nation from
mob violence whenever necessary.
She will deliver an address to-mor
row night in ' one of the largest
churches of the city.
SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan. 26. Mother
Stewart, famous over the world for
her crusade in the interests of tem
perance, when asked to day her opinion
of Mrs. Nation and her actions in
Kansas, said : "I glory in her !'' Con .
tinuing, Mother Stewart said: "I was
asked a similar question recently by
a minister and 'to him I replied that
upheld Mrs. f Nation and be
lieved if I had a husband and sons
who were being ruined bv the liquor
habit, I, too, would develop some of
the she bear instinct "
Continuing. Mother Stewart ex
plained that her famous crusade did
not begin in the manner adopted by
Mrs. JNation ; but she called attention
to the fact that the towns in which
she was creating such excitement
were prohibition towns, in which the
laws were totally ignored, wbicb
might be offered in the way of excuse
for such .radical measures.

RESISTANCE TO FROST.
Will Seleetlom mnd Breeding lacraaae -ItiaPlaataf
f
One of the marvels of vegetation Is
the difference In behavior of different
plants when subjected to frost No
one can tell why a pea plant will with
stand, unharmed, a frost which will cut
down completely a bean plant by Its
side. But differences even further than
this are oftentimes noticed, and the ap
parent freaks of frost are very com
monly puzzling. It frequently hap
pens that in a field of beans or pota
toes plants here and there will be left
unharmed, while others are killed.
Much of this may be due to varying
currents of air or conditions of soil
moisture, but that does not explain all
of the differences because it sometimes
appears between two plants standing
side by side. There is evidently an in
herent" resisting power possessed by
some individuals to a greater extent
than by others.
Is this a characteristic which can be
perpetuated and intensified? Can we
by subjecting tender plants to frost,
selecting those which escape and con
tinuing the process, develop a hardier
race? This is one of the questions un
der consideration, at the Rhode Island
experiment station. Early in the spring
of 1899 three varieties of beans were
planted In a hotbed. Later the sash
was removed upon a cold night, sub
jecting them to frost. Many of the
plants perished, others were badly
hurt, but survived, and a few escaped
with little injury. The seeds from
these most resistant individuals were
saved, and with them the operation
was -repeated In the spring of 1900.
The sash was first removed on the
night of May 10, on which night an
unusually hard frost occurred, the
weather being so cold that ice of con
siderable thickness was formed in
many places. The weather records in
the village near by showedfa tempera
ture of 2S F. for that mornjng. Nearly
all of the plants lost their leaves, and
many were killed outright, but a few
escaped with almost no injury. At
least one plant stood as though noth
ing had happened. This being, an un
usually hard freeze has given a severe
test but only time can tell what the
ultimate effect of such selection will
be. ' .
The behavior of strawberries result
ing from the freeze of May 10 and 11
is also interesting. At that time the
blossoms were not yet open, but very
many of the buds were killed, or, rath
er, the pistil was killed. The stamens
and other parts of the flower remained
unharmed, the buds opening and
blooming as usual, with the exception
of exhibiting a black spot in the center
where the pistils should be. Marshall
and William Belt growing side by side
exhibit marked differences in behavior,
though each has bloomed at about tbe
same time, so that this difference can
not be the result of the blossoms being
further advanced in one case than in
the other. All the early blossoms of
Marshall were killed, while most of
those of William Belt escaped. - Xlck
Ohmer suffered nearly as much as
Marshall. Many wild strawberries in
the vicinity seemed to escape unhurt
though in a few instances Mossoms
were observed which had boon killed.
Perhaps a judicious and persistent line
of selection and breeding might devel
op a strawberry which would be large
ly resistant to frost. Fred W. Card,

Concerning Belgian hares Country
Gentleman says: The feed is easily
grown, and one acre of good land well
cultivated will feed 50 animals easily
during the summer, and one acre more
in oats and peas, with a bag or two of
bran for the winter, will supply the
rest. A plain building, preferably of
two stories for economy, will be re
quired and of such a size as will fur
nish a pen of 24 or 25 square feet for
each doe. The bucks will be kept in
separate apartments. Breeding stock
need not be procured in large quanti
ties to begin with, as these animals in
crease with great rapidity. One doe
may rear at least 30 young ones easily
in tbe year. A five or ten acre lot neajj
a railroad station within easy reach w

for $50 an acre. The buildings neet
not cost over $200 to begin with. Th
rapid increase of these animals and the

Paine's celery compound has beeu
for years, and is now, the general pre
scription of most eminent practitioners
of medicire in this country. It is the
result ofShe best scientific knowledge
and research of the last quarter of a
century. It is in no sense a patent
medicine, and for that reason more
pbjfciciaiis of high standing are using,
prescribing, and recommending it than'
any other remedy.
Senator Dwyer had used variom
medicines, and tbey had done bim no
good. Just how Paine' celery com
pound was first brought to his atten
tioo. he does no tremembar, but it has
done so much for his health that it
has no more enthusiastic advocate in

credit to Paine's celery compound for
theereat improvement in bis health.

"Gentlemen : It is with sincere
pleasure that I furnish this testimonial

Senator Dwyer has recommended
Paine's celery compound to many of
his Mends, and has yet to hear any
thing but the most favorable results
from any one of them.
Busy men and women threatened
with failure; of nerve force and showing
th effect of loo prolonged, too hard,
or too anxious work by periods of
languor, depression, nervousness,
dy-peps;a., or other signs of nerve ex -hautioo,
will find Paine's celery cam
pound an invigoratoras superior to all
other leujedies as modern scientific
mtthods are superior to old fashioned,
inaccurate ones.
When Paine's celery compound is
used, other members of the family are
quick to see the great gain in health.
Paine's celery compound is the one
known nerve feeder and nerve reatora
live. By its means all the functions of
the body receive a fresh supply of
nerve food. It encourages the body to
produce an abundant supply of this in
dispensable vital force, without which
there can be no health, strength, nor
happiness in living. From the lack of
nerve force men and women are driven
lo despondency, melancholy, insanity,
and, suicide.
There will be no neuralgia, no per
sistent headaches, no dyspepsia, no
haunting pain over the eyes, no ner
vous exhaustion, if Paine's celery
compound is used.

do yonr soul good to sec him pull," was

have done so?" The purchaser saw the
