The New Yorker silver mine, locat ed In Mexico, but "owned and worked by Americana, had been in running or der .1 year before Jose Fa vara put in an appearance. He had been heard of, however. lie was known as a cattle stealer, a claim juniper and a" general outlaw, and it was the popular belief that ho stood in with the- police. . At any rate they had not interfered with his operations to any extent, and he walked the streets of the town as free as any other man. Cue day Jose ap peared at .the mine, lie walked straight to the superintendent's office and, doffing his hat, said: "SenoiT Barnes, I beg you to excuse ine.'" My; name is --'Jose Favara.? I shiouid have called on you weeks ago, but have been busy In other directions. I am now here to do business with you." ". . "Well, what is your business?" que ried the superintendent, although1 he had a pretty fair idea of it. J "To arrange to orawmy monthly sal ary, senor." f- "For performing what services "For 'leaving your nifaie in peace." "In other words, you mean to levy tribute on us?" ; "The senor hits the nail on the head at the first blow. My terms are $200 per month in cash. I shall call for it myself. If accepted you will be under my protection. If not" , - "You will make trouble for us?" "The Senor Barnes hits the nail again. I like to do business with an Americano." Jose -Favara was told that he would have to wait a few days until his prop osition could be submitted to the pres ident and board of directors in New York. He was agreeable. He went away bowing and smiling, and Mr. Barnes sat down and wrote a letter. The proposition was extortion pure and simple. The authorities could be appealed to, and would doubtless- do something. "Nevertheless the fact re mained that Jose was a bigger man in that district than the authorities. He could harry .and harass. He could scare every peon out of the mine in two weeks. He could capture every mule and driver engaged in transport ing the ore over the mountains. He could do lots of thiug3 to make the sit uation unpleasant, and the superin tendent recommended that a monthly salary be paid. He added that $200 per month was dog cheap. The president and his board looked upon it as a rather rfunny case, but fol lowed the advice of Mr. Barnes. From that time on for two years Jose Favara regularly appeared on the -10th of each month and received .his "salary." Twice during that time the peons would have struck for higher wages had he not appeared and threatened them with his vengeance. A Mexican lawyer discovered what he thought was a flaw in the title of the New Yorker and would have made cost and trouble had not Jose sent him word that he was after his scalp. It was conceded that the outlaw earned his wage. . Thing3 were going on satisfactorily when the old president died and Mr. Nervely was elected in his place. While the dividends were large, Mr. Nervely wanted to increase them. He saw a way to do it by lopping off and cutting down.. A cut of 10 per cent was made in wages and salaries, and the $200 per month to Jose Favara was cut off en tirely. " When Mr. -Barne3 wrote that' this move would bring trouble, he was di rected to arm his staff and fight. When he asked for rifles "ar dozen old con demned Springfield muskets were sent him, but not a single cartridge. He wrote for cartridges, but was answered that the president would soon take a trip to Mexico in his private car and would visit the mine and give, further instructions in person. Mr. Nervely had been known in trade as a hustler. As president of a silver mine he deter mined to be a hummer. Jose Favara called, as usual, on the IDtli Of a certain month to be told that his sniary was nix. He had been dis charged. Mr. Barnes entered into par ticulars with him, even to stating tbg probable date of the arrival of the president. Jose was impassive and imperturbable. Ho smiled the same old smiles and bowed the same old bows. He knew he had earned his monev, but If Us fglt sore he gave no sign of it. He went away saying. that he might call again, and things went pu as usual for three weeks. Then President Nervely arrived. It was Yweury miles over to the railroad, and he had to niako this distance on the back of a burro, but he made & He arrived at the mine at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At G the peons came u from the haft. and announced that there was r strike on. Thsre were 400 of them. NexT morning Jose Fa Vara appeared. He wanted to know if bis salary--was to be restored. PUi?xt Nervely flattered himself that W Was-a pgJtfer. If not an actual fl-hter. then hevas a god bluffer. He had been blufflng for thirty years and Pai ". to nat. The miners Sight '?.tSEy They might uo om iui u. would then be twabjtoj over each oth er to get back. As for Jqp Favara, be. was nn outlaw, a blackmailer, an ex torIoner. Not another cent should UC draw from the-treasury. If he made one little move against the peaee and harraonv of ths New Yorker the maj nf hr Urw would be invoked ana he 'would find himself behind . prison bars. He was talked to in the plainest English. Mr. Nervely talked In a loud voice. He conveyed the idea that he owned the earth. When he had tired himself out and was - taking a rest Jose quietly asked: "Am I, then, to understand that my services are no longer required?" "Of course you are." "But about this striker' " . "I can settle it without your help.". "And as to what I may do with my hand?" "Poof! Look here, my man, let me; ' give : you a pointer: Don't come mon keying around here unless you are aching to get hurt. If the law won't protect us we will protect ourselves. Do yrjli savey?" ' The outlaw did. He bowed and smil ed and took his departure It was a cold bluff and ho meant to call it when i the proper time came. - "Do you think he will try to make us , trouble?" asked the president of the superintendent when Jose had depart ed. ' "Sure to." "I don't. I think I. bluffed him out Il6wcrer,t5:eTe UTe "the "mrfskets." "' ' "And not a cartridge " for one of them." ' v "Cartridges are awfully expensive. I think that empty muskets will do -the trick. Nothing .like' a bluff if you rub it in hard enough." TJie strike had lasted four days, with all quiet around the mine, when Jose Favara rode Kp. It was early in the morning, and President Nervely was eating picnic breakfast. The outlaw had thirty men with him, and .each and every one had a business look about him. "When the senor i3 quite through with breakfast I should like to see him," was the message sent to the magnate. Teh minutes later he appeared and ordered the outlaw to go way back and sit down. He was seized, bound and carried off a mong the mountains. He called for help, but there was no help. He yelled "rolice!" "Fire!"' and "Mur der!" by turns, but the staff left be hind numbered only five men, and they had no cartridges- An hour later President Nervely was at the outlaw's headquarters. Two hours later he. had got over bluffing and was inditing a telegram to a New York banker. The telegram asked for $10, 000. The money was forwarded to a town designated, and a week after the abduction it was in the hands of Jose Favara, and President Nervely was set free within half a mile of the mine to find his way in. At the hour of his ar rival the strike was called off. "Didn't I tell you what the man could do?" asked the superintendent as the president came staggering in. "Yes, but I thought he could be bluff ed. He has taken $10,000 out of me. We must fix it some way to charge it up to machinery or repairs." Bathe and Massage Oranges. "You can learn a thing or two about fruit," said the foreign fruit store clerk, "by living in the. country that produces it. The natives generally know best how to preserve and keep it fresh. Persons ordering fruit for steamer parties often wonder why our oranges look so fresh and bright. They are willing to pay a good price just for the tempting looks of the fruit. Well, we bathe them and massage them just as the Chinese do; that's why. I have lived in the Celestial Kingdom and got some valuable lessons from our almond eyed cousins. On a first class orange plantation in China, when harvest time comes, bamboo vessels filled with wa ter are held under the orange trees, and as the fruit falls from the branch it goes into the water and gets a good bath. An orange not treated this way loses its oil" from having been sudden ly cut off, and it soon begins to grow brown and shrivel. The Chinese coolie3 brush the oranges to open the, pores of the skin and let the air in.' This gets the dust all out and helps to preserve them. California people" learned the trick from the Mongolian farmers there." New York Press. Never Labored. "Here's a uian," said the defendant's counsel, with a tremulous voice, "here Is a man handicapped at the very be ginning of his -life. From the time he lay a helpless infant in the cradle to this day, when he sits helpless under the pressure of years and affliction, he has labored under the name of Ishmael Aminabad Skeets." . He was about to say more when the plaintiff arose from her seat and shook a work worn forefinger in his direction. "I expected I was gain' to hear strange things in this court," she cried, with shrill indignation, . "but I didn't expect to hear such foolish talk as that! There's never been a day in his life that Aminabad's labored nor thought of laborin'; He's the most shiftless, lazy"- But she resumed her seat, owingrto a sudden pressure from her relatives In the rear, and the counsel, a little flushed, went on in a gpmewhat differ ent strain. . .. ' Only One Side of the Moon. I)id yqu ever s'top to consider the fact that the inhabitants of this earth havp never seen but one side" of the moon and to Inquire the reasons why such should be the case? The explanation is this : The moon makes one revolution n her axis in the same period of time which sb ponsime3 in revolving once around the earth.' Thus, tie sme gcq graphical regions o" the mooji are ar ways. toward us. One explanation usur ftlly calls for another, Therefore Itinny not be out of place to remark that the flstr9nom6r3 believe that the two mo tions so nearly coincide because the moon is pot a tme globe, the earth's influence having elongated the lunar world In the days when it was semi Uquid or at least soft. . ..'' FOlEY'SiaBifEYCimE Elake Kldoey and Bladder Right HINTS FOR FARMERS Alfalfa Versns Clover. Alfalfa is ready for cutting a full month before red clover. There, is a strong advantage in dairy farming, since green crops are needed at the earliest possible moment in the spring. After cutting alfalfa springs ' into growth more promptly than clover, and a secoud crop is produced within six to eight weeks. Clever lasts two years and alfalfa ten to thirty years.- In New Jersey the average yield of green for age per acre was 30,510 pounds for al falfa and 14,000 pounds for red clover. The weights of dry hay were 8,258 pouud.s and 4,088 pounds and of pro teln 2,214 pounds and CIO pounds per acre respectively. In the same ; state alfalfa was found to contain 1,809 pounds of dry matter and 2G5 pounds of protein -per ton as compared with 1,094 pounds and 240 pounds for clo ver. In other words, alfalfa not only yields two and one-half times as much as red clover, but its feeding value is much greater pound for pound. Coun try Eif e. Feeding: the Horse..' Regularity in feeding is a great desid eratum, as the animals thrive so much better on 25 per cent less food. The horse is a sort of clock. He knows just exactly when his feed is due and looks for it, worrying if it be delayed, but satisfied when it has been eaten. The horse which is fed irregularly does not thrive, and its appetite is never j satisfied, while many stable vices are likely to appear. Only the quantity the horse will eat should bo placed before him, and he should be fed early in the .morning, at noon and at night. Ap petite varies, but an average is about 100 pounds of hay and forty-five pounds of oats per week for an aver age horse. He will also eat a few roots, carrots and Swede turnips, but not much at a time. Vary his food with a few apples, stale cake, potatoes (never raw), beans, corn (not much), banana skins, etc. New York Post. . Kind of EgER to Set. Eggs that are abnormal in size, shape or any other respect should be rejected, not because none of them will hatch, but because they will not hatch well, and. it is a waste to use them, says H. W. Jackson in National Stockman. I do not think it is necessary, however, to go to extremes in following the pop ular idea that only eggs similar, in size be set together. Experiments at West Virginia station show that large and small eggs give approximately the same percentage of evaporation under similar conditions, hence large and small eggs do not need very different conditions or treatment. - The Profitable Hoe. The hog is really one of the farmer's mnot -ni.nfitnl-ilrt rrrma fiml i rnrthv of more attention. He is useful to the! dairyman because he will eat the by- f products of the dairy; he is useful to ! the gram farmer because ne win con vert the grains and grasses of the farm into money; so from either stand point he will show a profit. The more tare you devote to him the better he will pay you. One must get the. idea out of his head that anything is good enough for a hog. The fact is that nothing is too good for him. Farming. Top Grafting. . More grafting should be done of the tree fruits and less of the public's mon ey. Many worthless trees from the standpoint of fruit are permitted'ta oc cupy our orchards, yet valuable if util ized as stocks for top grafting. Top grafting is not difficult, but" it doesn't do it itself. In fact, it has some ad vantages. So utilize the old cherry, plum, pear and apple stocks. National Stockman. ' . To Catch Rats. A sure way to catch rats, is to place In a pan of bran or sand a steel trap ' so the bran-'or sand will steady thej trap. Spread over the trap a very thin j Cloth or a piece of mosquito bar to j hide the trap aud sham; then sprinkle ; breadcrumbs or cheese crumbs over , the trap on top of cloth. Place thisi where the rats can get to it, and you will catch a rat every pop Cor. Farm Progress. . Fattening: Hojera. Mature hogs can be fattened on corn ! and water, but growing hogs should have some slop feed. They have mus cle and bono to make as -well as fat to i put on, and this requires a growing feed. .' Wheat-middlings or wheat mid- ; dlings and oilmeal make the best slop. When barley is cheap one-third barley" meal might be used. Forest Henry at Minnesota Institute. - Cause ot Crumbly Butter.. Probably the cause of crumbly condi tions in butter is the fact that most of the cows are strippers. If this is the cause it will quickly be removed when fresh cows come into the herd. Some feeds have the effect of slightly soft ening the fat, and one of these is lin spedmeal. I suggest a little of this meal be jised in the ration Professor R. A. Pearson. ' - '" Warts on Cherry Trees. A correspondent of the Chicago In ter Ocean says , that ihe best remedy for -black warts or knots on cherry trees is to ! cut off the warts and then burn them. When this can be, done without serious injury to the tree cut off the warts and' paint the wound with a coat of thick bordeaux mixture. Early VejjetaMes For the North.

Anthony, the veteran woman suffragist, who recently passed her elghty-sixthbirthday. was prevent ed by illness from attending the cele bration of the event held at the Hotel Astor, New York, by the interurban po litical economy council. She had prom ised to be there, but, as she said In a telegram of regret, "The word of a wo man of eighty-six cannot be relied on like that of a girl of sixteen." There were many humorous stories with the homage which was given the SUSAN B. ANTHONY. absent guest. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the council, told of Miss Anthony's experience on her first lecture tour. On the first afternoon a few men were the only persons to hear her lecture, though once or twice she could see the door open and through a crack see the tip of a woman's bonnet. They did not dare to venture then, but in the evening the men, finding the lec turer not. at all rabid, came again and brought their wives. Rev. Anna Shaw told of a big meet ing at which they had been speaking of Miss Anthony, and she herself joined In the applause that followed. "I leaned over to her and said: 'This Is not your turn to applaud, Aunt Su san. They are talking about you.' '"'Oh, no, they are not, she returned. 'They are talking about the cause.

When Murphy came to Washington from the Ozarks he wore a liomespun suit. He is still wearing it. Recently he had some busi ness with Mr. Hitchcock. "Hor"on, boss; nobody but congress can go in dar," said- the messenger as Murphy started into Mr. Hitchcock's oflice. Murphy proceeded to explain, but the negro interrupted. "Ah kan't help it," he declared. "Dem's my ohders." Murpuy showed his card and walked in, leaving the negro apologizing. "He don't dress like a congressman no moaner rabbit," was the negro's comment.
