GETTING THERE.
S. E. RISER.
The fledging fallen from the nest
Fails when it spreads its wines to fly ;
But tries and tries again until
It soars away into the sky.
What if, when failure came, it ne'er
Had tried again to reach the limb
Had turned and tumbled in the brook,
Believing it was made to swim!
The green that struggles from the bud
Upon the s$m branch, day and night
Aspires to be a perfect leaf.
Keeps on and on with all its might.
The river flowing to the sea
By hills is often turned aside,
But only to go on again
Until it gains the salty tide.
Bhall I, therefore, sit down and sigh,
Acknowledging defeat because
I find obstruction piled where I
Hoped an easy pathway wast
For him that has the heart to try
Some means of some kind can be
found
To climb the rocs, however high '
Or open up a way around.

SUNDAY SELECTIONS.
God picks his own messengers,

The devout sonl is likely to

Christianity is the religion of a
living Christ, one who can sympathize
with us in our infirmities
No matter- how weak a man
may feel himself to be, he grow
strong in" associations with God.
. Take away the living, personal
Christ from our religion and it be
comes nothing but an empty form.
Bepentance must be something
far more than mere remorse for sin;
it comprehends a change of nature be
fitting heaven.
Worry makes headache and the
blues and a heavy heart. Christian
tolerance and charity, born of love,
make toward contentment and joy.
Which is better?
The Holy Spirit prepares the
soil the heart for the reception of
the seed the word of God but with
ovt the seed there can be no fruit bear

drawbacks to happiness. Most of it
can be avoided if we only determine
not to let trifles annoy us, for the
largest amount of worrying is often
caused by the smallest trifles.
Am I to thank God for every
thing? Am I to thank Him for be
reavement, for pain, for poverty, for
toil? Be still my soul; thou hast mis

thanks for everything, but to give
thanks in everything. It is not to

Modern Meat making;.
The great heavy bullocks and thick
sided porkers that were once such fa
vorites are now not desirable, says a
writer in American Agriculturist. They
have given place to the young, quick
ly grown animals. In order to avoid
an excess of fat an animal must be
Continuously grown. If it Is reduced to
a mere shadow during the winter
-months and then the following sea
son allowed its freedom on the rich
range grass of the west, it will lay on
too much fat and not tenougb meat.
Tallow Is not "what Is wanted; it is
meat that the present generation de
sires., -The eastern feeders are fully
aware1 of that' fact, for they never al
low an animal to stop growing from
birth . until It reaches the slaughter
house. They will cultivate the taste
. of the meat eaters to such a degree
that it will force those who cannot pro
cure sufficient feed to keep their ani
mals in good flesh through the win
ter to sell them at weaning time.

animal I have butchered was a Hol

lowing winter and dressed out nearly
.900 pounds of good beef last Septem

The dam should have good care at all
times, but especially for two or three
months before foaling and at foaling
time, says O. L. Hardman in Prairie
Farmer. The brood mare should nave
but little corn the last two or three
months she carries the foal, but be fed
plenty of oats and clover hay." The
foal will then be thin In flesh but
strong In bone and will fill up and
grow rapidly from the start If the dam
is fed and cared for rightly. The dam
is all the better for being worked mod
erately right up to within a few days
of foaling. If you have more brood.
mares than you can work, be sure to
give them proper exercise by turning
them into the field or lot during pleas
ant days, but always stable at night if
the weather is at all cool or wet. I
like a box stall not less than 14 feet
square in which to turn this dam loose.
You can tell at least several hours
beforehand when the dam is going to
f oaL When the milk is plentiful in the
bag and begins to drop out, you may
expect the foal soon. I have kept close
watch over my brood mares for several
years, and they have invariably foaled
between 2 o'clock and 6 o'clock p. m.
or 2 o'clock and 6 o'clock a. m., and I
always aim to be on hand, so as to
render assistance if necessary. I. have
raised a good many colts and nave nev
er lost one at foaling time. The dam
will be ravenously hungry and should
have a pall of water and a wisp of
bright hay immediately after foaling.
She will eat as though starving.
She should not have any corn for
several days and but little oats the first
two or three days. The oats can be In
creased gradually until the dam is on
her regular feed. Watch the bowels of
both dam and foaL - The danger from
this source Is much greater than most
men think, for many foals die when 2
or 3 days old If their bowels do not
move all right. They will refuse to
suck and dwindle along a day or two
till they die. When you notice the first
symptoms of trouble, give an injection
of one or two quarts of warm soapsuds.
I use tar soap; which I have always
found satisfactory. If this does not
give immediate relief, give as a drench
one-half pint of raw' linseed oil. I have
-never known these remedies to fail If
used in time. .
If the foal does not come until after
we have grass, turn the dam on grass.
and the danger from bowel trouble will
be greatly lessened. But I much pre
fer my colts to come by the first half
of April than later. I do not work a
mare for ten days after foaling. When
the foal is 10 days old, the mare should
be bred again, or if the tenth day hap
pens on Sunday I breed on the ninth
day. I do not think It advisable to
sooner than that If you find it will
throw your colts too early to breed the
mare the tenth day, you will doubtless
find her In season some time between
the twenty-eighth and the thirty-sixth
day.
Do not work the mare until dark and
then run her off to town and breed her
when the horse also has probably had
all he ought to do during the day. Do
not run her four or five miles back
home after breeding her and put her
into the harness next morning, with
but little or no rest,' and then wonder
why she does not get with foaL In
such cases I drive the mare slowly and
work her moderately or give her a day's
rest, and I seldom have to breed her a
second time. I aim to take my mares
to the horse from the eighteenth to the
twenty-first day to make sure they are

FEEDING YOUNG BULLS
i
Breeders Caatloaea Acatast Glvlasj
Too Haek Cora.
I have for a number of seasons fed
young bulls, both Shorthorns and Here-
fords, although I never before weighed
their dally rations until In the present
instance of three young Shorthorns
which I bought last December in Illi
nois and Kansas, says a Colorado
grower In The Breeder's Gazette. Their
ages follow: Clarence, calved Dec 30,
1888; San Juan, calved Feb. 11, 1900;
Bartlett, calved Feb. 6, 1900.
The three bulls weighed when I com
menced to feed them Dec. 27, 1000,
2,180 pounds. On Jan. 10, 1001, they
weighed 2,240 pounds; Jan. 23, 2,830
pounds, and Jan. 31, 2,375 pounds. I
fed them from the beginning 8 pounds
of wheat bran, 6 ponds of oats and 40
pounds of alfalfa hay per day for the
first 14 days. The rest of the time
from Jan. 10 to 81 they got 8 pounds of
wheat bran, 4 pounds of corn chop and
40 pounds of alfalfa hay each day.
Prices of foods are: Alfalfa hay per
ton, ?8; wheat bran per ton, $16: corn
chop per ton, $16; Colorado oats per
ton, 20.
I find that oats and bran produce
plenty of muscle and bone. A little corn
chop added makes the cattle flesh
up in good shape. I think if breeders
would adopt this way of feeding they
would not burn their young stock up
inside as is the case with so much corn.
Everywhere I went it was either shell
ed corn with blue grass pasture or corn
In the ear with sugar cane or Kaffir
corn. Some feeders in Kansas feed corn
and cob meal and sugar cane or Kaffir
corn, which I think Is better than
straight corn.

AYRES FATHER v TESTIFIES;
Told of Interview With the Prisoner.
She Was Cold and Unsympathetic '
The Nerviest Woman He Ever
Saw Other Witnesses,.
By Telegraph to wis Morning Star. -.
: Washington, November 30. The
government to-day closed its ease in
the trial of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine
for the killing of James Seymour
Ayres, Jr., and Attorney Keene, of
counsel for the defence, made . a. pre
liminary statement in, behalf of Mrs.
Bonine. It was made evident from
Mr. Keen's statement that the effort
will be made to show ; lack of a mo
tive for the crime on the part of Mrs.
Bonine. and to support her- plea . that
Ayres was killed in a struggle after he
had tried to intimidate her with a re
volver. The principal witness on the
stand to-day .was Prof. - Schaffer, : a
chemist, who made a microscopical ex
amination of the wrapper worn by
Mrs. Bonine on the ni&rht of the trag
edy, and who said that he bad found
no traces of blood upon it He also
said that he saw no blood on the slip
pers which she had worn on ' that oc
casion. Another witness of the day
was Ayres father, who told of an in
terview he had had with Mrs. Bonine
three or four days after the killing,
lie outlined his efforts to arouse her
sympathy but he said that she did not
respond. -
The court room to-day presented
somewhat the appearance of a junk
shop, f rqm the fact that a number of
the belongings of Ayres' room in the
Kenmore Hotel were exhibited. These
included the blood-stained carpet
dch covered the floor, Ayres' two
trunks and a section from the. inner
art of the-wall of the room, belong
ig under the window, showing blood
upon plaster and washboard. The
wrapper worn by Mrs. Bonme on the
night of the tragedy also was shown.
Lieut. James A. Moore, of the police
force, was the first witness. He identi
filed this miscellaneous assortment of
chattels.
' . Father of the Victim.
When Dr. 8chaeffer was excused,
James A. Ayres, father of the victim,
was called to the stand. He told of
coming to Washington the day after
the tragedy. Mr. Ayres said he had
sought out Mrs. . Bonine -''and," he
said, "I told her about my boy who
bad been murdered." He then went
on to say that he told her bow his son
bad lost his mother when he was only
three years old, and how near and
dear he was to him because of the care
he bad given him. "I tried," he said.
"to be as sympathetic as 1 could, be
cause I had it in my mind that Mrs.
Bonine was the destroyer of my son's
life and I wanted to find the guilty
one. I really opened up my heart to
her, telling her how when be bad left
me in Detroit he had thrown bis arms
about me and kissed me on the lips as
a daughter would have done. I told
her how I bad admonished him to pro
tect his reputation, saying to him that
I knew he was going to a tough
place."
In response to a question from Mr.
Gould, Mr. Ayres said that Mrs. Bonine
had made no response while he was
talking, but that when he concluded
he said something: which he would
never forget. Wbat this something
was Mr. Ayres' statement did not re
veal and no question was asked to
bring it out. "I thought that Mrs.
Bonine. being a wife and mother." he
said, "would manifest some sympathy
for me in my distress, but she mani
fested no emotion whatever and inter
rupted me only once. Then she looked
np and smiled in what I thought was

In response to another question from

; Mr. Gould then announced that the
prosecution had closed its ue. .,
Defence Outlined. l'
After' recess Attorney T. W. Keene,
of counsel far Mrs. Bonine, made the
preliminary statssaeut, outlining the
defence. - He cr-V-.ded ia the begin
ning for due ok 4Satton of the pre
sumption of innocence This'., he said,
was evidence, not. mere formality.
It was not the purpose of the defence
to minimize the offence of which
his : client ?. was charged, for
it was undeniable that the tragedy had
fallen-heavily upon two families.
Many guests of the Kenmore were to
be introduced, said Mr. Keene, and he
believed it would be shown that the
character of the -people living there
was good. Mr. Keene called attention
to the fact that Mrs. Bonine wss
chosen as a leader in the social festivi
ties of the hotel, and this choice, be
said, fell upon her because of her
capacity. The defence would show
that she had taught seven young men
to dance. In December, a dance of
more than ordinary importance had
been given and young Ayres had ap
peared there so much intoxicated that
he was offensive to' those in attend
ance and Mrs. Bonine had been com
pelled to ask a friend of the young
man to get him to retire. This inci
cident had, he said, led to some dis
cord. ' : ..
Relations with Ayres. L -
Continuing, Mr. Keene said it would
be shown that in getting up the dances
Mrs. Bonine had visited the rooms of
all persons, regardless of sex or age,
who could dance, to get them to parti
cipate. It would also be shown that
MrsJ Bonine was fond of medicine and
that this fondness had served in minis
tering to the sick, and that she did
visit many of them. Another point that
would be developed was that the re
lations between Ayres and Mrs. Bonine
were not such as to cause them to feel
unwilling to break them. Proof also
would be given that on March 4th
Mrs. Bonine had reproved Ayres for
drinking, and that while some cool
ness resulted, there was no strong
feeling between the two, as was
shown by the fact that on the
Monday before the killing she ate ice
cream with Avres. It would also be
shown, he said, that on the evening
before the tragedy Mrs. Bonine's man
ner was not that of a person with mur
der in her heart. There also was tes
timony, he said, that would show the
window shade in Ayres room had
been run up with a bloody hand, and
that hand was Mrs. Bonine's. Evi
dence also would be introduced to
show that Ayres owned the pistol. He
referred to the four or five statements
made by Mrs. Bonine and said there
was no inconsistency in them. His
client did not desire to modify or
change them, but would stand by
them. . .
When Mr. Keene concluded the
court adiourned until Monday.

Ameriesa Chtekeaus Im Emfflaad. .
To the many American commodities
with which England is supplied there
is now to be added the United States
chicken, in which already an enormous
import trade is being done. As yet the
Industry is, comparatively speaking, in
its early youth, but so great has been
the demand that one firm alone Is al
ready sending 150,000 dozen birds year
ly to this country, and the trade is In
creasing. A Dally Mall representative who
made inquiries in the Central and
Leaden hall markets was Informed that
the American chickens were doing well
in England mainly because the birds
were of good quality and. furthermore,
for the reason that they were packed in
a handy way for the buyer. It was
also pointed out that the many advan
tages offered by the American railways
for the conveyance of live birds from
the breeding places to Chicago resulted
in the poultry arriving at the slaughter
place In prim condition. When fro
zen, they are packed In cases of one
dozen each and sent right on to Lon
don. The view is very general among Im
porters that the American chicken will
not compete to any extent with' the
English product, but with the Busslan
fowl, which Is already finding a dan
gerous rival In the United States bird.
In proof of this there is the assurance
of one firm that yearly imports im
mense quantities of Russian poultry to
England that next year great Improve
ments in feeding, selection and packing
are to be made in the Russian trade.
Meanwhile the consumer will wonder
why no one has ever seen a chicken
labeled either1 "Russian" or "Ameri
can," and the inference must be that
both are sold for whatever the custom
er may like to think them. London

tract .with some person or cor
poration , for the keeping of the
fnsane of the territory. Gov. Jenkins
made sucb a contract witn the Okla
homa 8anitarium Oompany.a corpora
tion, the promoters of which reserved
ten thousand dollars of its stock, for
the Governor and subject to his or
ders. The stock was delivered to a
banker, subject to the Governor's or-,
ders, and was turned over to friends
whose i oiitical services the Governor
thus sought to reward. .
i, The governor's confessed relations
to tbe matter discloses such an entire
lack of appreciation of the nature of
the duties of his office as to unfit him
for tbeir discharge.
A sound rule of public policy- and
morals forbids a public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal
"benefit in a transaction, wherein be
nas a public duty to perform.
A chancellor would not for one mo
ment retain a trustee whq, in dealings
for the trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought is not to be
tolerated that the President can be less
vigilant and exacting in the public's
interest ' -
