controls all the baleful conditions ol

Tho chief object of the American who
travels is to "get there" in the short

the stopping ot trains at stations to
let off or take on passengers is sorely
regretted by the traveling public,
which prefers the express trains to tho
elower moving accommodations. Con
sidering the great demand for faster
trains and the efforts to build engines
which are capable of great speed, it la
strange that there has been no lnven
f.on which would do away with stops
for passengers, as bas been done by the
troughs for watering engines while lu
motion. A New York Inventor now
fffers to the railroads what he regards
us a satisfactory method of letting oft
and taking on passengers while the
train moves at its usual speed. The In
rentlon consists ot saddle cars to strad
dle the express train. By a system of
raised and lowred tracks the saddle
car is to be picked up nt one station by
the express and carried to the next
nation, the passenger being trans
ferred from one to the other In transit.
The Inventor estimates that bis ar
rangement would .cut down the t'r.to
between New York and San Frar
to 50 hours.

Romance of
I Geronimo'8 Daughter. 0
The daughter of Geronlmo, tho most
implacable foe that tho white man
ever had, whoso visit to the Tram
Misslssippl cxpoKltlon here Is remem
bered, will wed one of the hated raeo
that Is now authoritatively announc
ed. Ixjla, the "Red Rose of the Forest,"
ns her people called her, will marry
Houston A. Ward, one of the wealth
iest and1 most accomplished young
men In Southern Texns.
And this happy culmination grows
out of a singularly beautiful romnnce,
one Hceno of which is blood-curdling
and exciting enough to form the nucl
eus of n hli-tily successful molo drama.
It wan while (lying for life from n
prnivle tiro and a herd of stampeded
steers that the love of the young cou
plo was tirm revealed, and In such
dangerous surroundings was their
troth plishtej.
Houston A. Ward, who Is certainly
eager to become tho son-in-law of one
of the most notorious Indian chiefs
that ever shed blood on the borders .;f
Arizona, is tho son of old Shanghai
Ward, a fnmous mustang king of tho
Rio Grande country.
The old man died a few years ago,
leaving bis only son a splendid for
tune In lands, niURtungs and cattle.
Young Ward's boyhood was divided
between Texas nnd Illinois. He usu
ally spent the summers on his father's
ranch, and tho winters In tho north,
where ho attended school.
As the result of this simple career
he possessed a fine education and ne
Is rather proud of certain troi.hles won
on the playgrounds ami a diploma
won In the class-rooms ot the college
at Campaign, III.
Last summer the grass was scarce
In the Rio Grando valley, and Houston
Ward shipped Borne 400 or 500 head of
cattle to the Indian Territory.
Finding abundant pnsture lands, the
young man remained for some time In
the vicinity of Fort Gill, where he
made the acquaintance of the pretty
Indian girl who will sone become his
wife.
The gallant Texan frequently sought
the company of the dusky belle of the
border, often dancing and riding with
her, but he now says that he did not
know that he loved her until one even
ing he found her lingers in his hair
and upon opening his eyes, In flamo
and smoke, he felt the earth trembling
beneath his feet, while his eara were
filled with noise of a cyclone.
Houston Ward had been riding
about over the prairie looking at his
cattle, and, becoming tired, he die
mounted and lay down on the grass lu
the shade of a tree, leaving bis pony
to graze at will.
He soon fell asleep and his pony
wandered oft to mingle with a large
herd of cattle and a big drove ot
horses that were not far away.
The grass was very tall and most ot
It was dead and dry. Either Borne
careless cowboy dropped a match ot
a spark from a hunter's gun Bet tho
prairie on fire. A Btroug breeze was
blowing from the north and, as usual
In such cases, It looked as it tho
flames increased tho commotion In tho
air until a wind storm was driving tha
rapidly spreading fire before it.
The great herd of Texas steers
stampeded the instant they scented
danger and started south, bellowing
with terror. Tho horses caught tlm
contagion and mingled with the fly
ing steers, snorting as if a pack of pan.
thers were at their heels.
There wero about 6(0 full grown
Texas steers In the herd and seventy-
five or eighty head of horses.
This moving mass of frightened ani
mals started straight toward the tree
under which tho sleeping Texan waB
lying, wholly unconscious of dangor.
Old Geronlmo's daughter, mounted
on a magnificent horse, was riding
across the prairie when the fire broke
out and she saw the animals stnmpedoi
No one knew why she happened to bo
there or how she knew that the hand
some young Texan was lying under
the bone tree asleep.
She saw the maddened herd, driven
by a sea of flamo, rushing furiously
onward toward the place where young
Ward was lying, and knowing that his
horse had strayed away and that no
earthly power could turn the living
wave of terror aaldo, she struck her
horse with tho whip and rode straight
toward the rapidly approaching herd.
When she reached the tree, tho
front rank of the mod steers was not
twenty stejs away. The flameB were
leaping in the air over the backs of
tho animals In the rear, and the wind
was blowing a cloud of smoke and
du6t above thorn. Horns were crack
ing and horses woro neighing.
Ward was Just beginning to move
when the Indian girl bent over tho
side of her quivering horse and nelzed
bis hair.
"Up quick!" she shrieked, "tho
world Is ou fire."
Ho sprang to his feet and com pre
hended the situation at a glance, he
first thought ot ascending the tree, but
doubting whether he could perform tho
feat, he yielded to the girl's hand and
quickly sprang upon the horse behind
her,
As the noblo animal turned the
horns of th steers crushed against the
tree and several at the big grutcs fell
headlong, rolling over the very spot
where the rescued man had been ly
ing. Their carcasses were trampled
to jelly by the sharp hoofs of the fly
ing herd.
The sure footed horse bore the In
dian girl and the Texan away at the
top of his speed, but more than 600
head of furious beasts were close to
his heels and It was four miles to ft
place of snfety.
"Ride straight to the river," shout
ed Ward, as soon as he was able 'o
command his voice.
"1 know, I know," replied the girl.
"Maybe we enn turn out of the way
tretty soon," she added.
The earth seemed to tremble as If
convulsed by an earthquake and tho
air was filled with a roar more ap
palling than the noise of the ryclone.
Ward turned his head and he was
surprised to see tho red eyes of tho
mad brutes nnd their white horns al
most at his home's tall.
Striking tho foaming flank of the
horse with his tint, be shouted:
"On, on, l.oln, or we are lost!"
She turned her head and looked Into
his eyes.
"I,et nie slip off," she whlxpere.t.
"The horse could save you; 1 am too
many."
The Texan comprehended her mean
ing, and In that moment of peril ne
realized that the indlnn girl loved htm.
Fenring that she might execute her
suggestion and sncrlflcc herself to save
him, ho instantly grasped her In his
arms, nnd It was In that moment of
peril that their tiw was plighted.
Tho horse came upon smooth ground
and In a short time be began to g"t
further away trom the herd.
"Right there," says tho Texan, "I
made up my mind to love that littlo
Indian girl forever, anil I resolved
mnt. if we escaped the danger that
pursued us, I would do everything In
my power during llfo to make her
nappy."
The noble horso continued to In
crease the distance between his hee'a
and the sharp horns of his pursuers
until he again encountered rough
ground.
Wnrd at this moment for the first
time, thought of his pistol, and hur
riedly drawing the weapon he pouivrt
a stieain of lead into the faces ot Ui-j
cattle.
He was gratified to see that the pro
gress of the herd was slightly retard
ed by the bodies of the several ani
mals that he killed.
Again the heroic girl suggested the
Idea of sacrificing herself to save the
man she loved.
"If the horse falls," she said, " you
must lie close to htm and the cattla
will Jump over you."
"It was evidently her intention."
says Ward, In referring to the matter,
to stand on the body of the horse In
case he fell and make an effort to
frighten the steers while I crouched by
the side of our exhausted steed."
The horse had no notion ot falling.
Once more his heels came In contact
with clear ground and he carried his
burden in triumph to the brink of the
little stream.
Ward turned his head and with x
shout of exultation he threw his hat
In the faces ot the leaders of the stam
peded herd as the horse plunged into
the water that the flames could not
cross. The Texan knew that the hot
steers would stop to cool their parched
tongues, and when the horse had
crossed the river he pressed a kiss on
the Indian cheek and whispered to
her:
"You have saved my life, and it be
longs to you."
And he wilt keep his word. Omaha

THE MOUNTAIN-LION.
Th American Maunla.in-I.lon tha Cham
pion ltoiiBli-antl-Tuinbla Fighter.
From a story in St. Nicholas we
clip this description of the old-time
mountain lion:
There was a time-when the American
mountain Hon was one ot the most for
midable animals In the world. The cat
Is the masterpiece of nature; and the
n'ountaln lion was one of the most ter
ribly armed and powerful of the cat
family. It was a compact mass ot
rsrd and tough muscle and gristle,
with boncB of Iron, strong jaws, shiirii
teeth, und el'awa llko steel penknife
blades. It waB prodigiously Btroug,
lithe, and quick, covered with a mail
coat of loose Bkin that was as tough
as leather. It bad the temper of a
demon, and win Insatiably bloodthirs
ty. Withal, .. had tho proverbial nine
lives of tho cat tribe.
Against stu li nn animal It was hope
less to match dogs, it was said. In
the school books of 40 years ago, that
"three UritlBh mastiffs can pull down
a full grown Aeiallc lion." Perhaps
they could; but thry would have been
sorry it they had tackled a full grown
American mountain lion ot that time.
Ho was nut to bo "pulled down" by
anything; and it he hnd been "pulled
down," Unit was exactly the petition
in which ho fought best. With his
back protected by the earth, and all
four fearfully armed : tws flying free,
aided by bis terrlblo teeth, and a body
so strong that It could not bo held
in any position wsll, when ho was
"down" was tho tlmu that he was most
"up."
Ho once waa found in all tho Rocky
mountain regions, from the jiiguar
huuntcd tropical forests ot tho cxtremo
south to tho home of tho northern
winter blizzard; but he attained hlB
greatest Blue nnd ferocity on tho sub
tropical plateau of northern Mexico,
New Mexico and Arizona.
These auliuals are no longer what
they wore. The tourist or hunter of
today cannot hope to find any of the
old time power or ferocity.

There oru i::n:iy lurmers who seem to
like to burn green wood, and no doubt
tome of lufm think It Is economy to do
been;is.; It lasts longer. Others do
it only becuuse they think they cannot
lind time to cut a year's supply ahead
und huve it well m asoned and put mi
tier cover before the fall itins nnd w in
ter snows have soal-.nl It n:.;nln. But
It. Is certainly p mr economy. Nearly

when green tnnn when dry, ami some
tven Itice more than that In being
properly Hcauoned. That cd.ls to tha
labor of handling and hauling, for
what wsli;ha one to-i when t!ry weighs
3000 pounds v.lieii first cut. Nor is this
nil of the loss. It takes heat to evap
orate that extra amount of water. We
believe the scientistc say that when
weed I j burned entirely tirecn 50 per
cent of Its own heat is used up In evap
uatlng tne water. Thin makes 3000
pounds of green wood equal in heating
power to loco pounds of perfectly dry
wood. Of course few burn wood entire
ly green, but there are many who do
not have It entirely dry or well sea
toned. Any good housewife who hn3
been obliged to use green wood for the
kitchen fire can tell of delay In getting
the meal in season, hindering her work
and that of others, and of poorly
(ooked food because she could not get
tho oven hot enough. Then there Is
another loss, a loss of temper from the
delay and tho poor food. It Is there
fore a case of cruelty for any man to
compel his family to burn green wood.
Iinpnrtanra or Tearing Milk.
There certainly Is no factor that has
been more potent In effecting the
marked Increase In the average pro
duction ot ualry cows than the Dab
cock test. Herds averaging 300 to 350
rounds of butter a ysar are no longer
considered anything phenomenal. More
than this, the person who goes Into
dairy farming with the Intention not
enly ot securing an existence but also
of making money, finds that he cannot
afford to keep cows which fall below
the 300-pound standard.
Yet look at the vast army of herds
whose average annual production does
not even reach the 200-pound mark.
It is tnerefore not to be wondered at
that farmers occasionally complain
that darylng doesn't pay. With the
aid ot a IJabcock test and a pair of
scales it is within the power of every
farmer to grade up his herd, in the
course ot a few years, to the 300-pound
standard. The milk is to be weighed
and tested for a sufficient length of
time to know Just what each cow Is
doing. To do this with the least amount
of labor and fei.il whu a fair degree of
accuracy, test and weigh the milk of
each cow for three consecutive days of
each month. Of course a composite
sample Is taken, which will give the
average test for three days, and, will
t ecessltate only one actual test. In
making these tests, It may eoou be dis
covered that some of the herd are kept
at an actual loss, while, others are
yielding a good profit. The outlay for
n tester will not exceed $1, and the
n (inlpulmton ot the test la so simple
that wlln a little study every farmer
can use it tor bis purpose with suffi
cient accuracy.
The tlmo la not far distant when all
milk, whether for creamery, cheese
factory or city supply, will bo bought
strictly on the fnt bnsls; in other
words, by tho Bnbcock test. Jtlln

I
Uae of Roll 1'rolratlliK Crops,
At the Ohio experiment station crim
son clover has proved too uuccrtalu to
be a satisfactory cover crop, our chief
dlfflt ulty being to get a start dm lag the
tiry weather which so generally pre
vails during the latter part ot summer.
Wo encounter the same difficulty with
red clover, sown at that time. In fact
there seems to be nn increasing dlill
culty In securing a stand of red clover,
sown at any tlmo, Of tho front-resisting
leguminous plunts which may be
town late in summer to gather the
later formed nitrates, tha hnlry vetch
seems to offer tho most promise, chiefly
betause lti comparatively largo seed
will pormlt deeper covering and there
ioro better condition to withstand
drouth than Is practicable with the clo
vers; but our success hus not yet been
large with this plant.
Alfalfa is not to be considered In this
connection, because it requires too lcis
to become established. It belongs with
red clover, as a plant to be started In
the early spring, but it should be sown
when the ground can be tilled and the
seed covered instead ot on the r;irfac
as we sow clover. The cowpta and soy
bean possets every requisite for a cover
except one they cannot endure frost.
Their large seed permits deep cover
ing; they love heat and are fairly
drouth-resisting; sown any tlmo
through June or July they wilt cover
the ground with a denss growth before
frost, and Lelng legumes they have the
nitrogen accumulating power of that
order of plants. We have adopted the
practice of sowing soy beans when the
clover catch falls, and find them a very
good substitute lor clover, but the first
frost kills tho plant and thus ends Its
work. We find, however, that tho
ground breaks lip In much better con
dition In the spring after having giown
a crop of soy beans. In Jlnettsslngcover
crops, rye Is not to bo forgotten. It Is
not a trgitme and therefore adds no
nitrogen to the soli, but no other plant
of those mentioned, unless It be the
vetch, will more effectually save the
nitrates which are probacly formed
whenever lb? temperature Is above tho
lreezlng point. C. E. Thorne, director

England Homestead.
Ili-at Fffv-1'rotnrttia 1'nnda.
The man or woman who raises eggs
for market should be Intelligent
enough to find out from experience and
experiment the best egg-producing
foods. Yet often this seems to come
slowly, and we find som? sticking to
Itiod that has long been discarded as
poor egg-making material. Probably
cne of the most general mistakes mnde
In this respect Is to depend too much
on corn. It is difficult to convince
some that corn Is not a good diet for
egK-lnyers. It In partly because corn 'l
the- easiest and handiest chicken food
that a'.r.ateurs can secure, for they can
purchase this at any feed store. Hut
this ehould not be the case with one
who rnlhescuickeiiKfora living. Surely
torn with them miifit be understood
tind be given its proper place In the
diet. !t has its place In the food for
the poultry. It Is fattening nnd heat-
ing.and a littit of it In winter Is essev
lial to the heauh of the chickens, but
It Fhould take second place to clover.
Experience has demonstrated the
value of clover for egg-producing time
and uguln. Clover has Just the material
in it to form egg shell, and hence It be
comes an essential part of every ration
fid to the chickens. It may not be
generally understood that there are
nearly 30 pounds of Urns contained in
each 1000 pounds of clover. The
chickens fed dally with clover will con
sequently prove better egg layers than
thos e denied It. Th.e clover hay should
be given to chickens in winter in quan
titles sufficient ta satisfy them, and to
mr.l:e them cat more it Is desirable
Bcmetlmes to prepare It in various
ways. Cook and chop It up, and mix
It with meal or othsr articles. This
will sometimes Induce the hen3 to con
sumo a great amount of clover every
day. Cut up Into short lengths and
mixed with warm masn and then fed
cnly as fast ss the chickens will clean
It up each day. Is probably the most
economical way to f;ed the clover.
Soma cut the second crop of clover and
place it in tho poultry yard for the
chickens to eat and scratch over at
pleasure. This of itself is all right,
but it Is rather wasteful. More than
half the clover will be lost, and the
chickens do not actually eat much more
than the leaves. The stalks contain
most of the lime, and these should be
prepared so the chickens will consume
them. Of all foodo tnat can be raised
or. a farm for poultry, clover Is npt
only the best, but probably the cheap
est, and a field of It Is as essential to
success as a pasture field is necessary
to the success of dairying. Annie C.
Webster, In American Cultivator.
Farm Hints.
Charred bone, as well as charred
corn, ts good for poultry.
In raising calves for the dairy, com
mence with the breeding.
P-th cattle and hogs should havs at
uli times full access to salt.
Give the hens all of the buttermilk
nnd skim milk they will drink.
Less hay nnd corn stalks and more
grain would be a good rule for many
feeders.
Sometimes calves have fits, the result
of Indigestion. Correct tho errors of
feeding.
Always linvt tho nests so low that
the hens can step In rather than bo
obliged to Jump down.
If horses have pin worms, try on In
jection of snaptiudo and weak tobacco
tea night nnd morning.
A fiat perch Is best because cf being
the ino.it comfortable to the feet and
the ba it support to the breast.
When the bull's hair Is rough and
looks dead, feed n good quality ot oil
cuke and card him thoroughly.
An occaticnal dliih of charred corn is
good for the hens, brightening the
combs and toning up the system.
If an ajtindanto of good, sharp grit
la kept constantly within reach of the
fowls many diseases from Indigestion
will bo avoided.
The 3U cesa of the creamery depends
on tho euro the patrons take of the
cream, i'uiicy butter cannot be made
from poorly kept cream.
Tho beut way to feed corn to youns
chickens. If; crushed or cracked. For
ducklings mU cornmeal and bran,
equal parts, Into a mush with milk.
The hoff.i that are reared when young
on cooil a v.' cet milk, turned out in th
clover field In summer and topped off
with corn, make the ideal creatures for
the market.
Tho skeleton of an averace shed
man weighs auout 20 pounds; that ot

PRODUCE A RACE OF GIANTS.
Two Million Dollars to Be Spent In
Scheme to Regenerate the French.
An attempt to breed a race of hu
man giants, one of the most remarka
ble scientific experiments undertaken
In modern times. Is to be begun at
Rouen, the ancient capital of Norman
dy. It seems that Count tie Saint
Ouen a descendant of William the
Conqueror who endowed the under
taking to the extent of $2.0fio,OnO con
fidently expected at tho time of his
death that the fortune which he be
queathed would untlmately be the
means of regenerating the French peo
ple, but though scientists admit that It
may be possible to breed a race of
giants they regard the scheme on the
whole as anything but a wise one. The
Count's scheme Is practically one of
selective propneatlon. His money Is
left to encourage giants and giantesses
to marry. One per cent will be given
awny each year. One couple selected
every twelvemonth will receive the
comfortable sum of $20,nno ss a nest
egg with which to begin housekeeping
and to support the little giants and
giantesses whom the stock may hap
pen to drop down the chimney. The
Count de Saint Ouen was not the first
to conceive such an Idea. Frederick
William, the first King of Prussia, and
father of Frederick the Great, attempt
ed It nearly 200 years ago. He col
lected 2.400 giants, whom he enlisted
In a reelment known as the "Potsdam
Guard." Many giants were kidnaped
for this regiment. Frederick com
manded his guardsmen to marry tall
women, and It was his hope to propa
gate an army composed of giants.
None of the men In the front rank of
his Potsdam Guards was under seven
feet In height. The scheme for cul
tivating giants, however, was aban
doned before any important results
were observed. Yet it Is said that ab
normally tall men In tho vicinity of
Potsdam to-day claim direct descent
from Frederick's famous giant regi
ment. It is, of course, recognized
