j ROSE FROM TELEGRAPH KEY ■ ———i William A. Gardner, who 38 years ago struggled with the Morse code In a little railway' telegraph office at Lemont, 111., the other night rode out of the Chicago and Northwestern sta lk tion on the president's special to inspect the lofMiL \ 12,000 miles of w i which sprawl over the great «vS) northwest as far as the Wyoming mountains. Two %/ hours before that the directors of the road had \/ /y made him president to succeed Marvin Hughltt, I waa s'ven the newly created position of ysffiw 7 * ■ yl chairman of the board of directors. The story of Mr. Gardner's rise to the place as chief executive of the Chicago and Northwest jfflllh/iff/* ern ' s consummation in reality of one of the L. /f/f/f{>///fff//ff business romances of which every youthful teleg All the money which Mr. Gardner could con trol 38 years ago was contained in a pay envelope which the present-day union telegraphers would scorn to accept. Now he exercises control over the $53,000,000 annual expenditure for the operation of the Northwestern lines. W. A. Gardner's "railroading" began with his work for the Chicago and Alton in 1872 at Lemont, where he learned to use the telegrapher's key. He was then in his teens, having been born at Gardner, 111., November 8, 1859. He began his first work for the Chicago and Northwestern in 1878 and added to his duties as telegrapher those of division superintendent's clerk. From this place he rose to the position of trainmaster at Boone, lowa, and remained there until 1883, when he went to a similar place with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. The next promotion that camo his way made him assistant superintendent of the Wisconsin division of the Chicago and Northwestern in 1885. Five years later he became superintendent of this division and then rose succes sively to assistant general superintendent, general manager, and, in 189 C, to the place as vice-president of the Northwestern lines. Mr. Gardner has a ■wife and four daughters. In many respects his rise to the position of president of the road is similar to that of his predecessor, Marvin Hughltt, who also began his career as a telegraph operaior. When he became chairman of the board of directors Mr. Hughitt had realized the ambition of his life as a railroad man. This was to see the new Northwestern $20,000,000 terminal station in Chicago prac tically completed. CROSSES OCEAN 100 TIMES —————"r^TT - -~—-—--i Andrew Carnegie, now seventy-five years old, /J , is not quite up to his usual form, according to those who saw him walking down the gangplank f' A 0 f the Baltic at her dock in New York recently. b • y\ It was the end of his one hundredth voyage across ') / ifij the ocean. The ironmaster had greatly aged since { ii ( he went abroad last May. Leaning heavily on the arm of his secretary, he stepped slowly and hes ~Z/ F-m itating'v on his way from the steamer to the 1 '<// i. Y'i. ~vj)|y dock, showing less vigor than formerly on his / 7annual return from spending the summer in I Skibo castle, Scotland. /ill IK |r U,/ whj J Passengers in the Baltic who have been on Ml 112, | " ' other voyages with Carnegie commented freely Ri lllM \. J'lPlttr ou ' low "tt' o he was seen on deck this trip. He i iLii kept to his cabin most of the time and the few appearances he made except In the dining saloon ■were in the smoking room, where he democratically drew no lines in making everyone his friend. A touching feature of the trip, they said, was the devo tion of the millionaire to his daughter. He followed her around continu ously whenever lie was on deck and was so devoted and attentive the other passengers described It as almost pathetic. On the day preceding the boat's arrival Mr. Carnegie, at the ship's con cert, first called for the song "God Save the King" and then at his request Mrs. Carnegie read the second verse of America. When her voice died away he recited the same lines, saying he is the possessor of the original manu script written by F. Samuel Smith, which ho holds as one of the richest prizes in his possession. Then Ills voice blended with all the others in sing ing the entire song. Mr. Carnegie said it was his one hundredth trip across the Atlantic and his eighth voyage as a passenger on board the Baltic. "When 1 came to America forty-odd years ago it was on board a calling ship," said the iron master. "a great contrast to the fast and luxurious steamships of today. There has been a change in the people here, too. They have been so sociable and friendly. The proudest thing in my life is that I am an American citizen." ~~ NOW ACTING CHiEF JUSTICE ————————. -pj K . , uos i conspicuous figure on the bench of the I'nited States Supreme court anil one of the /'tfa most distinguished men In the nation is Justice h J////,, j \ John Marshall Harlan, now acting chief Justice.

During the civil war he saw service for three years as colonel of the Tenth Kentucky regiment. Pr< sldent Hayes made him a Justice of the Supreme court anil President Cleveland ap pointed him a member of the commission which settled the long standing dls pute between the I'liltnil States and Great Hritaln over the Hcrlng sea 1m broglto. In 1895 the Supreme court was divided on the question of the constitu tionality of an Income tax The tax was pronounced unconstitutional by the close vote of five to four, thus reversing a previous decision of the court Justice Harlan was one of the four dissenting members and when he gave his opinion he did It with a vlvaeltvOf manner and a pungency of phrase which rather startled the dignified tribunal. In spite of his advanced age, he has no idea of retiring from the bench and those who know his mental and phys ical vigor can discover no good reason why lie should.

The following description of a Mln * nesota stallion barn Is given by M. T.

The stallions stand with their heads out at liberty, and as they never bite mares. NORJH WALL OF ZT |«o] ' „ K et * S 8 ' OA * PLANK O * 3' «J " HlO H u! _ Z* .

If found In season she is led to the northwest corner of the barn, off from the plank, onto a space 21x16 feet with cinder and earth floor and 14 feet to ceiling. A solid slide door 10x14 feet shuts this space off from the rest of the barn except a big box stall in which mares can be tied. For the breeding pen or chute proper the north wall of barn pro vides one side and the west wall of barn the end toward which the mare is led. Sink a couple of solid posts so as to have a pen 8 feet long from west wall and 4 feet wide inside. Lay sound 2 inch plank from the ground to a height of 3 feet 3 inches. Have the two posts outside of plank sawed to their height and edges smoothly round ed, as well as edges of plunks at ends and on top. Sink another post from middle of pen south 4 foit.

(By C. E. BANBORN, Entomologist. Ok lahoma Agricultural Experiment Sta tion.) During the last two or three years this department has been experiment ing with a natural enemy of the San Jose Scale. This enemy Is a disease In the nature of a fungous growth. In southern latitudes It has been used even to a commercial extent for con trolling the scale, but on account of the weather conditions of this state It has been supposed that such a disease would either fall to propagate Itself during the summer or be entirely too delicate to withstand the low winter temperature. Careful experimentation, however, has proved the disease is very hardy and capable of propagation to a very beneficial extent in our In fested orchards. Oftentimes diseases of a serious na ture are introduced and scattered by Insects and other agencies in general. This disease, however, is not capable of doing any damage to anything ex cept the San Jose Scale and allied forms. Its use in orchards, groves, and public parks, as shown by our ex periments, will be of a very great ad vantage in checking the local spread of the San Jose Scale. It is of the same nature as the HEREFORD OF APPROVED TYPE /\ Vi / V ■ • ■'••• .| \ : \ * \ T!K> LL«T«>lor.| .IIUWB in th«* lll»i«tr» tl.m lihh the tru«' l»< «>f form, n(iai|slit by It, Bi>«U uiiitvr lluo, w« II tilled yuar couple of holes In north side of wall to receive them. The wing affords • safe place for party with mare. The bars make a pen for foal so the mare may keep her head to It The bars also keep the mare from being shoved ahead and cramped. The top one will be at her breast and the bottom one at her knees. These bars should be strong, say 2 inches, and work easy. Mares are bred In this pen or stall, those for the trotter always being hop pled, but rarely for the draft horse. The dimensions given may be varied and the part of stall back of wing hinged if desired. However, the hinges are not much of an advantage; the stall is wide enough so a mare's heels, by a sharp turn of her head, may be turned into the wall. Often boys, or timid people, bring mares and the safe harbor of refuge behind the wing is much appreciated. It will help a stallion's patronage ■ where competition is sharp. ! The floor of the entire space should J be covered with short stuff and chaff ! and kept scrupulously clean, wet straw > and droppings being wheeled out aftei j each visit. This arrangement is ad mirable also for handling a bull with safety. Up to this date this year— August 22 —74 mares have been bred to the brother, 98 to the draft horse and 62 cows to a Red Poll bull without injury toman or beast chinch bug disease but Its appearance on infected insects is not nearly as conspicuous as the latter. To an or dinary observer It appears to be no more than the mold which Is common ly present on damp bread a few days' old. It will live and propagate on bread and is apparently Just as harm less to the higher animal life, but the microscopic examination of an infect* ed San Jose Scale reveals it to be fatal to the latter. Our experiments have been so con clusive in regard to the practicability of checking the San Jose Scale with this disease that we are now propagat ing it to an extent sufficient to enable us to supply gratis all Interested citi zens of this state who may request it. The conditions under which we sha.il send It out are that the party request ing It shall first submit specimens of scale to us for Identification. If the submitted specimens prove to be the San Jose Scale we will send a small package by mall. No directions for application other than those following will be given unless especially re quested. Directions—The fungus Is grown on a >lly-like material which is of amber color In appearance. The color of the ' fungus or disease Is white. This ma terial may become more or less dinar ranged in transit through the mail, but its vitality will not be lessened l T pon Its receipt the applicant should paste small portions of It to his In fested trees.

Scottish humor Is dry rather than boisterous, and I always think there is exquisite drollery In the story of the Stonehaven railway porter and the Salvation Army "captain." To catch the hang of a little yarn readers must remember that Stonehaven lies to the south of Aberdeen. The London train had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac count of a slight mishap a mile or two ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had got into conversation with a Salvation Army officer who had popped his head out of the compartment to ask the reason for the delay. "Aye, aye," mused Andra, after giv ing the desired Information, "yoll be for Alberdeen, I'm thinkln'?" "Yes, my man,"was the reply; "I'm bound for Aberdeen—a very j wicked place, I'm told!" "What micht ye be goin' to dae ' there, sir, If It's as bad as a' that?" asked Andra, rather amused at the j visitor's words. "Ah," was the pious answer, "I'm going to drive the devil out of Aber- | deen." Like lightning came from the old porter the pawky retort: — "See an' drive him north, chiel; haud him well to the north!"—Ex- ! change. HER LITTLE JOKE.
