Figures In Public Eye. Congressman Tawney and the Secret Sciv Ico Controversy Mayor Nathan of Rome and Earthquake Rescue Work D. F. Lafean. JAMBS A TAW NEY, the Mlti nesota repre sentative who In ures conspicuously In the controversy between the presi dent and congress over the secret service, Is chair man of the house a p p r oprlatlons committee. In that capacity he had jaues a. tawmet. considerable to do with the action of congress respecting the secret service to which the presi dent so strenuously objected. Mr. Hoosevelt in his special message laid the responsibility for the adoption of the clause restricting the operations of the secret service directly at the door of this committee. Mr. Tawney Is one of the most lullu eutlal of the house leaders. He was born lu what Is now the battlefield of Gettysburg Jan. SO, 1805, and when he was eight years and five months old he witnessed that tremendous conflict. When Mr. Tawney got to be a con gressman he sat beside General KHz hugh Lee one night at a banquet. They were total strangers except that Tawney knew Ieo by sight. The youthful congressman remarked to the old soldier that bo was glad that hos tilities had ceased between them. I.ec was surprised and expressed a desire for an explanation, when Tawney told blm that he had witnessed the cavalry light on the afternoon of the third day of the battle, when a shell from a Confederate battery exploded net far from the Tawney homestead. Later Lee retorted on the young man at a banquet at Old Point Comfort, when he said that he ordered the artillery to cease firing at the stone house, which he supposed was Mead's head quarters until he discovered that there was a lad in it who would one day In fluence congress to make an appropri ation to the Jamestown exposition, commemorative of the birth of Chris tian civilization In the original thir teen colonies. Mayor Ernest Nathan of Rome has been an active figure In the rescue work in connection with the great Italian earthquake. He was promi nent In the organization of the corps of nurses and physicians of the Red Cross society which was dispatched to Sicily when news of the terrible dis aster was received. Signor Nathan's election as mayor, or syndic, of Home n year ago was the occasion of com ment at the time on account of his being a Jew. He la also a former grand master of EBNE8T I,ATnAN Freemasons. His election was brought about by a union of other municipal parties In the Rome council against the Clericals, the aldermanlc vote In his favor being CO to 12. Much feel ing In ecclesiastical quarters was caused by the result of this contro versy. The mayor Is a son of Giuseppe and Sarah Nathan, who befriended the Italian patriot Mazzlnl in bis struggles for a united Italy. They lived at one time in London, and it was there that the present mayor of the Eternal City was born. He was educated at Oxford university and Is a versatile scholar. He is proprietor of a newspaper of Liberal politics. Recently when a train from Naples bringing 1,200 ref ugees reached Rome Mayor Nathan communicated with the 'Vatican, ask ing the pope to place the Vatican hos pital at the disposal of the wounded. The papal authorities Instantly agreed and prepared 400 beds. The first 120 of the wounded sent to the Vatican were received at the rnllrpad station by Mgr. Misclatelli, sent especially by the pope. When the Injured had been installed the pope himself paid, a.ylslt to. the hospi tal, passing through the 'basilica of St. Peter and over the nrch connecting the basilica with the hospital. In doing so he passed outside the terri tory which under the Italian law 1 guaranteed to him and enjoys extra territoriality. Daniel P. Lafean, re-elected to con gress from the York district of Penn sylvania! is known as "the candy king." Ho went by a single stride from an absorption in business so deep that it completely excluded politics to a seat in the bouse of representatives, which pe, a Re publican, has re talned for four con secutlvo terms in the Interest of a . r. LATEAlt. normally Democrat' lo district. But not this or even the infant boom for him as the next gov ernor of Pennsylvania la scarcely io interesting as bis rise from a poor dot to a reputed millionaire by. bis lads try and energy alone, HINTS FOR FARMERS Xh Farm Wood Let, ' The first snow of winter should b made uio of In irettlnsr ud too budwt of fuel for another rear, say Ameri can Cultivator. It Is much batter to do this before the snort becomes so deep as to make the work harder. The careful farmer baa looked over bis wood lot and calculated as to what portion should bo taken out for wood or timber. As these products are be coming scarcer every year, it should be the aim of every farmer to take the best care of the wood lot and select out tho trees for wood and timber that It may be kept In a thrifty, growing condition right along. The past season, owing to the long period of dry weather, much timber was killed by the forest fires that pre vailed In so many places, causing dis aster and loss. Of course on such tracts the burned and ruined trees will have to be removed and used to the best advantage possible. The value of the wood lot should ever be In mind and its futuro usefulness Insured. Poultry In WlnUr. Keen the scratching sheds or the floors of the poultry bouses well bed ded, as the fowls need exercise to warm up their bodies these cold, frosty mornings. Give an extra allowance of grain at night, scattering It among the litter so that the fowls can be induced to ex ercise before they get their regular breakfast There is no better winter breakfast for the stock than equal parts, by weight, of bran, middlings, ground oats, cornmeal and meat scraps, to which add Its bulk In cooked cut clo ver bay and 0 per cent of linseed meal. Mix the ground grain with the tea made by cooking the clover. At noon give some cut up vegetables, and twice a week give somo cut green bone. The grain food at night should be an equal part each of wheat and corn. Cracked corn Is preferred. Farm Jour nal. Oottoncetd Meal For Cowi. Cottonseed meal is one of the more Important nitrogenous concentrates used In feeding live stock. There Is a prevalent belief, however, that if fed for long periods to dairy cows It will Injure the health of tho animals to a certain extent. The South Carolina experiment station undertook a feed ing test with dairy cows to show the fallacy of this theory and that when free of the bulls there were no Injuri ous effects. Corn silage and cotton seed meal were fed to ten cows, and the results obtained were entirely sat isfactory. They showed that cotton seed meal when fed In conjunction with good ellage may bo fed to the ex tent of from five to six pounds per cow dally without affecting the health of the animal. Instead, tho cows kitpt In an exceptionally good state of health. The yield of butter fat was Increased, as was also the milk flow. Drivers' Journal. New Cow Feeding Tests. An experiment In feeding cows which it Is believed will be watched with keen Interest by tho dairymen of the state has Just been started wltb tho college herd at the Connecticut Agricultural colloge. The test will run for an Indefinite period and will con sist of feeding two separate rations to two different groups of cows. One group will be fed a very narrow and the other a very wide ration, and the outcome of this experiment will deter mine whether high or low feeding has any effect on the vigor, fertility or pro duction of the dairy cow. It is hoped to havo these experiments' carried on for at least twenty yearn. American Cultivator. Water For Dairy Cows. Since from 80 to 00 per cent of all milk consists of water an ample sup ply is indispensable to the herd. The more a cow can be encouraged to drink the better. To cut down the amount means shrinkage. For this reason a well near at hand, one which will carry the water right to the stalls, is advisable. A cow will often go thirsty on a cold stormy day before she will make her way to a distant creek or spring to drink. Nor is It policy to compel her to drink water that Is Icy cold. Experiments have proved that where the chill is removed more water Is consumed, consequently nore milk results. National; Stockman. Weigh the Milk. Two people in the cow test associa tions were planning to trade cowsj but, knowing what each cow was do ing, tho man starting the trade called It off because he found his cow tho better of the two. Can you afford not to weigh your milk? It takes only a few seconds per cow, adding up only about five minutes per milking time, and the satisfaction of knowing what they are doing Is worth much. We naturally suppose when cows are put op In the fall that they shrink, but It Is not always so, as the scale and test frill show you. Professor Percy Camp bell, University of Maine. The Cheapeet Protein Oarrler. It Is no longer a question as to whether It pays to feed a balanced ra tion. The practice has become so gen tral that we have seen wheat bras dvance from $12 to $28 per ton. The question that Is now worrying the in telligent feeder Is,, In what form con ( buy protein the cheapest? I believe this question will be answered In a few years by the growing of alfalfa, farmers will conclude that they can ifford to tile drain, manure and lira i piece of land thoroughly la order te set protein more cheaply.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts II, 22-47. Memory Verses 32, 83 Qolden Text, Acta II, 42 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D, M. Stearns. Copyright, IMS, by American Prm AmocUUor. I find continual comfort in the assur ance) that In matters concerning na tions and Individuals (Job sxxlv, 20) God Is working all things after tho counsel of His own will and according to the eternal purpose whloh He pur posed In Christ Jesus our Lord (Eph. 1, 11; ill, 11). Whatever wicked men may plan under tho counsel of their leader, the devil, and be permitted by God to carry out, their counsel shall In due time come to naught, whllo the counsel of the Lord shall stand for ever and tho thoughts of His heart to ail generations (Ps. xxxlll, 10, 11). In tho opening chapters of this book we find It repeatedly stated that the cruel treatment received by our Lord Jesus at the hands of wicked men was all foreseen by God and foretold by Him through the prophets (11, 28; 111, 18; lv, 28). God's foreknowledge does not, however, In the least degree exenso or palliate the guilt of the wicked. The decrees of God and the free will of man stand as two heaven high pillars, and puny mortals may not attempt to reconcile them. The one thing that all may do who have heard the good news of the grace of God Is that which 3,000 did under tho preaching of Peter on the day of which our lesson tells, and that was to believe on or receive the Lord Jesus Christ as having suffered for sins the Just for the unjust and risen from the dead and ascended to the right hand of God, there to wait till His body is gathered from all nations, that He may come again to restore all things of which the prophets have spoken (Hi, 21). All such redeemed ones are expected to become Spirit filled people and bear such testimony to the risen Christ throughout the world that He may gather to Himself the company whoso song we hear in Bev. v, 0, 10, who shall reign with Him on the earth when the kingdom comes. That kingdom will have redeemed Israel for Its earthly center with Jesus Christ, as Son of David, on David's throne at Jerusalem, according to verses 30, 81 and-Luke 1, 32, 83. Jerusalem shall then be tho throno of the Lord nnd all nations gathered unto it to the name of the Lord of Jerusalem (Jer. ill, 17). Whllo that kingdom Is postponed because of Israel's rejection of her Messiah a new thing in the unfolding of the eternal purpose of God is taking place, which was specially revealed for the first time to the Apostle Paul, as may be seen by a careful perusal of Eph. ill 1-11. Wo will not reach the record of the first gathering of the gentiles into this one body, the church, till we come to chapter x, but we hove In this nnd tho following lesson the Jewish begin ning of the church, for the 8,000 of verse 41 and the B,O0O of chapter lv, 4, were all Jews. Our Lord's word to the woman of Samaria in John lv, 22, "Salvation is of tho Jews," does not seem to mean much to tho majority of Christians to day, but it Is tho heart of the eternal purpose of God. Spirit filled people will use the Spirit's own book, the Bl ble, which Is forever settled In heaven (Ps. cxlx, 80), even though they may seem bv so doing to be a drunken crowd In the eyes of many (verse 13), for the wisdom of God Is foolishness In tho eyes of the wisdom of the world. The prophets were the Lord's messen gers with the Loras message, going where Ho sent them and saying what Ho told them (Hag. 1, 13; Jer. 1, 7) Even our Lord Jesus Christ said only what the Father told Him to say, and His words and works were all those of the Father In and through Him (John xll. 40, 150; xlv, 10). Spirit filled Peter, on this occasion, Just rehearses from the Scriptures that which the Spirit had written concerning the Lord Jesus, whom Ho Is sent to glorify and tako of His things and show them unto us (John xvl, 13, 14). In last week's study we saw him quoting from the prophecy of Joel; in this lesson wo see him In verses 22, 23, summarizing rs xxll and Isa. 1111 concerning the suffer ings of Christ, and he probably had In mind such words as Ps. xxxlll, 10, 11, concerning tho counsel of God. In verses 24 to 28 he quotes from Ps. xvl concerning tho resurrection of Jesus. In verse 80 he refers to God's promise to David to give him an immortal Son, risen from the dead, to sit on His throno forever (II Sam. vll, 12, 18; I Chron. xvl!, 11-14). In verses 84, 85, ho emotes from Ps. ex. tho great Mel chlsedek psalm, and assures them that Jesus, whom tber bad crucinea, wnom God raised from the dead, la the one of whom all these Scriptures tell and who. belnir now glorified by tho Fa ther, had sent down the Holy Spirit to convince them of their sin that they might be forgiven and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit He entreated them to save themselves from a crooked generation, assuring them that the Lord waa calling them and ready to raeeira them notwithstanding all that they had dose. They received the message as the word of God to them (verse 41, and eee I Tbeae. 11, 18), and mob thee were 8,000 reoeemea veoyie, who coatiaaed la pralae and prayer art WMe at4y. aa4 HowWp, and fee Lord OiM aasr te Mir Mmeer.
