STABILITY
LUCK OF SNAP-SHOT ARTIST
Secured Photograph of Attempted As
sassination Which Appeared in
3,000 Publications.
The most remarkable press picture
ever obtained was undoubtedly the
.photograph of the actual exploding of
khe bomb which was thrown at the
jking and queen of Spain on the occa
,sion of their Majesties’ wedding. It
jwas secured by an operator for one of
the largest firms of press photograph
ers.
! The photograph proved a veritable
/gold mine, for it appeared in close on
three thousand publications, including,
'of course, foreign, Colonial, and Ameri
can journals.
| The photograph was secured more or
less by a piece of good luck, says the
Strand. The operator was on a stand
[with his camera in the place allotted
to him by the police, waiting for the
procession to appear; the camera was
placed facing down the street up which
the procession was to coine. From the
moment it came in sight until the royal
carriage was within about thirty yards
of him the operator secured three pic
tures. He then readjusted the camera
so as to get a good picture of the king
and queen in their carriage, which was
about ten yards from him. At the
same instant as the operator pressed
the ball and exposed a plate a dark ob
ject was hurled at the royal carriage
from a balcony window, and then fol
lowed Instantly a blinding flash and a
noise like a thunder-clap. The opera
tor was hurled half-stunned to the
ground his camera following him. When
he was able to stand he saw a terrible
scene below him. The large crowd
was stampeding in all directions. Any
one luckless enough to fall in that
storm of rushing humanity was in
stantly trampled to death, and several
did fall. Some thirty people in all
were killed on that occasion, of whom
at least half were simply crushed or
trampled to death in the panic that
followed on the explosion. It is very
remarkable that all the plates in the
operator’s camera were broken with
'the exception of the last one he had
exposed, which depicted the actual
scene at the moment of the explosion.
SOME FIFTH CENTURY JESTS
Anecdotes Taken From Joke Book
Compiled by Greek Student In
Fifth Century.
The following aneedytes are taken
from a volume of jests compiled by a
Greek student of Alexandria, Hier
ocles by name, in the fifth century,
A. D.:
A learned man, wishing to swim, was
nearly drowned; whereupon, he swore
that he would never touch water again
until he learned how to swim.
Of twin brothers, one died. A profes- 1
sor, thereupon, meeting the survivor, |
asked: “Is it you that died, or your!
brother?”
• A scholar meeting another of the!
profession, said: “I heard you were j
dead." “And yet,” replied the other, j
‘‘you see that I am still alive.” “Well,” !
said the first, In perplexity, "I don’t |
know what to believe, for the man who;
told me about it is a much more truth-1
ful man than you!”
A professor, a bald man, and a bar
ber, traveling together, agreed to keep
watch in turn four hours each, while
the others slept. The barber’s turn
came first. He quietly shaved the head
of the sleeping professor, and when
the time elapsed awoke him. The lat
ter, scratching his head as he got up,
and finding it bare, cried out: “What a
rascal that barber is! He waked the
bald man instead of me!"
He’s Always Right.
Lord Northcliffe, who began life as
a poor reporter, now owns the Lon
don Tiroes, the Daily Mirror, the Eve
ning News and a score or two of
British weeklies and magazines.
Lord Northcliffe, on his last visit
to New York, was reproached because
two of bis newspapers advocated di
ametrically opposite views.
But the young millionaire journal
ist was quite ready with his defense.
“Are there not,” he said, “two sides,
a right and a wrong, to every ques
tion? Well, how, without two papers,
can I be always right?”

IMPR
RACK TO HOLD PITCH FORKS
Another Example of “A Place for
Everything and Everything in Its
Place”—How Made.
(By JOHN W. GRAHAM.)
Having occasion to be '.n the hay
loft after dark several times I have
run over a fork and once I struck
my ankle against a prong and it came
very near causing serious trouble.
This led to the construction of the
holder shown in the drawing. The
rack is made of an inch board, one

foot long and eight inches wide. One
side of the hoard is cut to a half cir
cle. Near the circle edge of the
board, five holes are bored, the holes
large enough to admit a large fork
handle. This board is nailed to a post
4 feet from the floor. The support
(for the end of th-a handles) is the
same shape as the one with the holes
but only half as large and it has no
holes in it. It is nailed to the post,
one foot from the floor.
A piece of hoop-iron is nailed to the
post six inches above the lower piece,
forming a circle which holds the end
of the handles in place.
This is another example of "A place
for everything and everything in its
place.”

STORE ROOTS OVER WINTER
Careful Treatment Is Needed to In
sure Beauty of Plants Next Sea
son—Some Suggestions.
When frost has cut down the glory
of the flaming canna, has withered
the late blooming dahlia, has seared
the huge leaves of caladiums, and has
left scarcely a memory of the rich
coloring of gloxinias, it is time to
think of their winter welfare.
The loots of all these plants need
careful treatment if they are to give
of their beauty next season.
Remove the tops of the roots that
are to be saved, especially if they
have been badly nipped with frost, as
the decay may spread to the bulbs.
These may be left to ripen in the
earth for a few days and should bo
dug on a bright, sunny day.
Dry in the sun for several days, or,
if the weather be cold, spread on the
floor of a sunny room and cover at
night with blankets to protect from
frost. When dry, shake off the loose
earth and pack in boxes of sand, pa
per bags, or on the shelves of frost
proof cellars, according to the nature
of the roots.
Caladium bulbs can be easily win
tered in a dry, frost-proof cellar. The
chief danger is decay of the center
shoot. Keep a sharp watch for this,
and, If it i 3 noticed, puli off the de
cayed parts down to whero it is
sound. Store in flour bags or in boxes
of sawd.
Keeping Honey.
Honey improves with age. The old
er it is the finer the flavor. Extract
ed honey is much easier to keep than
comb, as the latter 13 liable to get
soiled, and must be kept in tight
cases.

benefits upon the farmers ®®®j|K
United States. Better roads would
greatly lessen the cost of transporting
produce to market, and as soon as
the farmers learn how to make good
roads, and make them, the greater
will be their profits.
When farmers learn that on each
mile of highway, three rods wide, ap
proximately 27,000 tons of water fall
annually, they will begin to appre
ciate the necessity of highway drain
age, and learn that a hard road can
not be made out of mud. No plan of
road work, no amount of labor and
machinery, will make a good dirt road
that will stay good until some plan is
adopted to get rid of the water.
It has been satisfactorily demon
strated that a fairly gratifying road
for hauling heavy loads should be
rounded up in the center, so that
water may quickly flow into ditches
at the side and be carried off through
properly constructed channels. Cul
verts should be provided to conduct
water under the roadway and thus
prevent gullying the roadway with
running water.
Nothing will give farmers better
ideas of how a good road should be
built, or show them the losses they
are sustaining traveling to market
over poor roads, than Farmers’ Bul
letin No. 95, which may be had free
of cost by writing a postal card to
the department of agriculture, Wasln
ington, D. C., and asking for it. It is
one of the most practical helps a
farmer can have in solving the trans
portation question in the country.
Good roads help both the farmers
and the city people. Therefore any
proposition which looks to endowing
the country with good roads is en
titled, if not to acceptance, at all
events to a respectful hearing.

Pulling the string will remove the

Fall Mulching of Vegetables.
Any time during the fall the mulch
ing of rhubarb, asparagus, and all of
the vegetable and flowering peren
nials may be done. Any kind of fine
or coarse manure will do. The fall
and early winter rains will dissolve
out richness of the manure and carry
it to the roots of the plants before
freezing. It is best to mulch the lawn
some time in December or January.
Changing Fashions.
Fashionable folks are taking up
horses again, the automobile having
become too common for them. And
farmers are buying automobiles to
save their horses.
There is nothing saved by fall set
ting of asparagus.
The sweet potato crop has grown
wonderfully in the last few years.
Many failures occurred from plant
ing poor seed potatoes last spring.
Teach the hired man the best meth
ods of farming, for his knowledge will
prove your gain.
Now is the time when the man
who kept his cornfield clear of weeds
reaps his reward.
Land containing plenty of humus
holds the moisture better than that
which is cropped every year.
There is a whole lot besides luck
in raising a good crop. It takes judg
ment, care and persistent application.
It is as important to have a fine
seed bed for grass as any other crop,
a fact that many do not seem to be
aware of.
If barn-yard manures are to be used
to fertilize, they should be evenly ap
plied and well mixed with the soil by
frequent harrowings.
Plowing under leguminous crops
like clover and cow peas, in addition
to making humus, supplies nitrogen,
one of the most important elements
of fertility.
Keep the potatoes in a cool place
after digging them. This applies also
to all root crops. If kept at a low
temperature they remain crisp and
nutritious.
Oil the mower and binder sickles
and the scythe, wrap them with cloth,
and lay them away where there will
