Settling a Vexed Problem.?"Charlie" Landis, who is famous thrdughout Indiana as a wit and story teller, < thinks he has read the most original I Shakespearean criticism ever written. According to him, it appeared in a i paper published in Rising Sun, Ind., and was called forth by the production there of "Hamlet" by a wandering company. In Rising Sun, Shakesl?eare was a novelty, and the little theatre, the only one In town, was crowded to the doors for the perform- i ance. The next morning the daily chron- I icle of the happenings in the village printed this: < "Shakespeare's immortal tragedy, i 'Hamlet,' was produced here last I night. It was a great society event. The leading men of town and their ; wives and daughter were out in the i best clothes they could afford. Sel- i dom has such a distinguished assem- | hlage been gotten together in this part of the country"There has long been a dispute as i to whether Shakespeare or Lord Bacon i wrct^ the plays of Shakespeare. That knotty problem can now be solved, i Let the graves of both men be open- i ed.

Gear was invited to the meeting. He accepted the invitation. The old Quaker called him to the platform and said: i " "We learn that thou dost not belong to any temperance society and also that thou dost drink liquor at thy discretion. Is this true?* i " 'Every* word of it is true,* replied Gear, 'but did you ever hear of my doing anything dishonorable?' " 'Nay, Mr. Gear,' replied the old Quaker chairman?'nay, we have never heard anything else to thy discredit. Thy frankness is more to be commended than thy haoits. But thou hast not lied to us, and we will support thee." i "And they did," said Senator Dolliver, "and elected him too."?Washington Star. Wan Face Not Republican.?A noted politician made the statement in a speech, that he had been among the 1 people so much in his campaigns that he could tell a man's politics by just looking at him. At the close of the speech he was asked to tell the politics ' of the men as they came forward to 1 shake hands with him. The first man approached with broad smile. 1 "This man is a good old-fashioned Democrat," said the politician. I "Correct," said the man. To the next he said: "You are a 1 Socialist." 1 "I am," the man replied. rPUA nrn o Q KJn_fono/1 hoff_ x iicai uiau ?ao a unit-iav ^u no?gard looking Swede.

Took the Shilling.?A recruiting sergeant one day met an ignorant youth idling, with his hands in his pockets and standing before a house on the front of which was a notice informing the public that the building was to be sold. The notice ran thus: "To Be Sold by Private Treaty." The sergeant approached the youth and asked him if he had ever thought of joining the army. "Not me," was the reply. "You'd have nothing in the army worth talking about." "Is that so?" said the other. "Well, how is it then Private Treaty has a house for sale and him only a private yet?" The youth looked thoughtful and puzzled, and presently, over a pint of ale, the possibility of owning a house ' by joining the army grew into a cer tainty and the shilling changed hands. 1 ?London Tit-Bits. 1 i Jackson's Defence. ?

He struggled for a while, and at last, . dizzy and nearly exhausted, managed to grasp a big log and hold on to it. . The current was so strong and swift | that it carried his body under the log I until his feet stuck out on the other * side. Just as a comrade gras|>ed him by t the shoulders he caught sight of his ( own feet protruding on the other side ' of the log. , "I can hold on a bit longer!" he ( gasped.

From a publication of the national department of agriculture we glean the following: In a recent bulletin of the Virginia station, by A. M. Soule and Meade Ferguson, it is stated that "alfalfa is being grown with success in various parts of Virginia and the indications are that it will do well in humid climates providing the soil is brought Into suitable conditions for its growth." A bulletin of the Wisconsin station, ".V I\. /A. fll'iiu c anu uiiiri o, oiaivo mai "alfalfa can be grown successfully under proper conditions in all counties of Wisconsin. * No forage plant has so pre-eminently come to the front in the state during the past five years as has alfalfa." In experiments at the Wisconsin station alfalfa gave much larger yields and more protein per acre than clover, timothy, or broom grass. The essentials of successful alfalfa culture in the eastern United States are, briefly summarized, as follows: Deep well-drained soils with porous subsoils are best suited to alfalfa. Observations made by the New York Cornell station indicate that the upland stony and shaly loam soils in the northern two-thirds of the state are better suited to alfalfa than the soils in the southern third, which are generally compact shaly silt and clay loams with a dense subsoil. Good yields of alfalfa have also been secured on gravels and gravelly loams. The soil should be well supplied with lime (although applications of this substance have not always proved beneficial), as well as with potash and phosphoric acid, and if it is not well inoculated there should also be r* n oKm^onon f\f rOQflilv flVflilflhlP n i - trogen present. The soil may be inoculated (1) by means of infected soil, or (2) by the use of pure cultures of the nitrogen-fixing organisms. In the first method soil from a field in which alfalfa has grown and produced abundant root tubercles is scattered over the field at the rate of 100 pounds per acre just before the seeding. The second method is fully described tn a farmers' bulletin of this department Farmers' Bulletin 293. in experf^ents made by the New York Cornell station the first method was almost uniformly successful, leading to the conclusion "that this method of inoculation when needed will not fail of giving results unless the soil is in such condition that the bacteria can not live in it." It is absolutely essential that the young plants especially should have the most favorable conditions possible for growth, for as G. A. Billings of the New Jersey station says: "The young alfalfa plant is one of the weakest among farm crops, grows slowly, is easily checked or killed by weeds, or by unfavorable conditions of the soil, weather, or treatment. The seed bed is therefore of prime importance, and the greatest care must be taken to give the young plants plenty of available plant food and best soil conditions for the first year of their growth. "The treatment or the held tor tne season preceding should be such as to effectually subdue all weeds, and eause the sprouting and destruction of weed seeds in the soil. Care should be taken not to introduce them with manure. Apply manure, therefore on the previously tilled crop or after the alfalfa crop is established. "The soil should be thoroughly prepared?this is important?to secure a. good stand. For spring planting, it Is preferable to plow in the fall. If, however, alfalfa is to be planted on land freshly plowed, the surface should be firmed with a roller, then fined to a. depth of three inches to prevent loss r>f moisture. Provided the surface is kept pulverized, the longer the seeding is delayed after plowing the better, and many failures may be due to careless work at this time." Summer or fall seeding following thorough tillage often proves preferable to spring seeding, which is more likely to be choked out by weeds. Somewhat heavier seeding (20 to 30 pounds per acre) than is common in the west has generally been found preferable for the east. Liberal applications of barnyard manure are especially beneficial to alfalfa. With early seeding on very weedy land it may be beneficial to seed with a nurse crop; with late seeding the nurse crop may be omitted. In the above it would appear that all east of the Missouri river is put In 'the east." "Typhoid Carriers." There is danger of transmission by the "walking typhoid" patient, who is riot ill enough to get the disease diagnosed, or who is too courageous to submit to the bed and treatment. Then there is the "typhoid carrier," such as the cook who has never herself had the disease, but who, nevertheless, in the customary round of her engagements. infected a number of households?27 patients in five years; in another case virulent typhoid bacilli ivere found, though the subject had suffered his attack of the disease forty fears before. Also must be considered :he "typhoid contact," who has become ontaminated by his association or his ministrations in typhoid cases. In the Washington epidemic of last spring it ivas concluded that the national eaptal has a good water supply and excellent sanitary supervision; despite ivhieh it has a death rate among the lighest in the United States. The wa;er supply was found to be responsible 'or little if any of the disease. Care'ul comparison of the prevalence of lies and of typhoid cases could not elicit a relationship. Milk was the lource in several localized epidemics, n one of which the infection was raced back from two dairies to one 'arm, the owner of which (himself in rood health) was a typhoid carrier. Personal contact with the sick was in his investigation found to be a large 'actor in the evolution of the epidemic. The typhoid carrier retains the germ n the gall-bladder, where it multidies, continually discharging bacilli nto the intestines.?American Review >f Reviews.

Map Makers Had Strange Ideas About fj the New World. Less than 100 years after Columbus discovered the New World Sir <? Martin Froblsher, an adventurer in k Queen Elizabeth's navy, attempted to " teach mankind an advanced lesson in S) geography by sailing around the north end of America, through the b fabulous northwest passage. The ac- I ? complishment of this feat became a|a " " * ' J *L?4 thfl I It woriu-wiue aream mai ua,umcu vision of men for more than two cen- rl a turies. The northwest passage was but one of many geographical illu- k sions and astonishing absurdities. I' In 1673 Louis de Baude, Comte de n Frontenac, governor general of Can- u ada under Louis XIV., sent Joliet o and Father Marquette to visit and ex- 01 piore a great river which the Indians n said was in the west. These adven- N turers floated down the Father of a Waters far enough to be convinced ^ that it must empty into the Gulf of ti Mexico and not into the Pacific Ocean, st Frontenac wrote to his king that he would in all probability prove once _ for all that the great river flowed tl into the Gulf of California, and he ? was, no doubt, disappointed with his ^ disillusionment. Father Marquette n was equally disappointed, but he b promptly transferred all hopes of P that nature to the Missouri river, and | henceforth it was accepted as a theo- ei ry that the western ocean could be h reached by ascending the Missouri. The Indians knew no geography be- a yond their own hunting grounds, a Those who dwelt along the Missis- w sippi or Missouri rivers knew not whence these streams came nor c whither they went. When Mar- o quette saw the Missouri river de- ^ bouching with such terrific force into p the placid Mississippi he was struck V with awe, for it was at the time of the June flood. He inquired of the g natives through his interpreter about _ this wonderful stream, which white men had not seen before. The natives informed him, so he recorded in his journal, that "by ascending this river for four or five days one reaches a fine prairie, 20 to 30 leagues ^ long. This must be crossed in a northwesterly direction, and it terminates at another small river, on which one may embark. This second river flows toward the southwest for ten or fifteen leagues, after which it enters a lake which flows y toward the west, when it falls into the sea. I have hardly any doubt it is the vermilion sea." That was the |> name of the Gulf of California in Father Marquette's day. La Salle was the first to visit the mouth of the Mississippi river, where he planted the "Lilies of France," the standard which still waved over k the land when Jefferson purchased the country of Napoleon. La Salle P was disappointed, like Father Marquette, and, like him, transferred his hopes to the Missouri river. He "conceived the hope of reaching the South Sea by the Missouri river," the Y strangest theory that ever took pos- a session of intelligent men. h Father Gabriel Mausest wrote a let- K ? - - -o ?ui?u n ter from KaskasKia in it is, wmvi> displays the prevailing misconception as to geographical matters. He wrote: "We are but thirty leagues 11 from the mouth of the Missouri or a Pek-i-tan-oni river. This is a large J"' river which flows into the Mississippi, J* and they pretend to say that it comes " from a still greater distance than that a river. It comes from the northwest, very near where the Spanish have their mines in Mexico, and it is very convenient for the French to travel C) in this country." Here we get an ^ echo of the Spanish expedition of g Coronado, who probably discovered the Missouri simultaneously with De Soto's discovery of the Mississippi. It is presumed that Coronado reach- ? ed the Missouri river at or near Kansas City. The presumption is based I on some very good, but inconclusive, evidence. This great Spanish traveler and explorer traversed through the very heart of the region which became the "Great American Desert" on the maps which were studied in the I schools of our country by men yet I li\ing. The Great American Desert began immediately west of Kansas City and extended westward to the mountains, while it had a spacious reach north and south. The map markers of the time evidently did not have access to Coronado's journals and had probably never heard of the groves of luscious plums on which he and his troops feasted. Neither could these great mapmak- j( ers have seen the great atlas made in c] 1728 by that consummate German ge- ^ ographer, Matthew Seutter, and his ^ co-laborer, John Baptist Hamann, g both of Nuremburg, Germany, in ic those days the center of the world's jj maomaking industry. The Seutter at las Is a large and costly work, and In all probability did not circulate in North America. The work was in two volumes. The first volume ontains 106 maps, while the second contains 102 maps. The pages are 24 by 21 r inches and the colors are brilliant. 1 The late Jefferson Brumbach of Kansas City, possessed a copy of this work, and it is now owned by his son, Frank Brumbach. The map of the Mississippi or Louisiana Province was I made from the explorations of Father I Hennipen, a Franciscan missionary, who explored the country in 1687, and whose knowledge of the west was very accurate, but may not have been accessible to the mapmakers of our own country. The Seutter map of Louisiana can but afford us astonishment. It was made before St. Louis was founded and before there were any towns along the Mississippi river. The rivers are laid down with remarkable accuracy, and practically all of them, large and small, are shown. The Indian villages are indicated by groups of dwellings. The Kansas river appears on the maps as "Grand Riviere Causez." The Chicago river is "Chigogon." Far to the west is located the Chiquacha tribe. Oldtimers of Kansas City will remember that the late Mr. Mulkey owned a race horse which was famous as Chiquita. While the map of the Great American Desert is amusing to look upon, the present irrigation schemes of our government may be adduced as a justification of the mapmakers of two generations ago. The Great American Desert was a myth, yet there are desert conditions in the r west to this day. In the early part of 1, the nineteenth century there was in New England a sentiment of un- / friendliness toward the west. There ^ was for many years continued opposition to every movement instigated to improve the country west of the is Mississippi river. The people of the ai east had no faith in the possibilities it of the western country. It was re- ai garded as a hopeless waste. Daniel W Webster never believed in the west ai and was constantly in opposition to Benton, who made the trans-Mississippi country his study and delight. 01 One of Webster's most eloquent in speeches was delivered against Benton's proposition to establish a mail ai service from Independence to the u mouth of the Columbia river. He said: "What do you want with this vast M and worthless area of this region of fa savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of <fl dust, of cactus and prairie dog? To 1 what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless J mountain ranges, impenetrable and covered to their very base with eter- ~ nal snows? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of 3,000 miles, rock-bound, cheerless, n uninviting and not a harbor on it? J What use have we for such a coun- ai try? Mr. President. I will never vote si one cent from the public treasury to J< place the Pacific Coast one inch lo nearer to Boston than it is now." le Benton knew the country as by in- at tuition. He had not visited the coun- A try. but Fremont and Gilpin had given L Im accurate information. He had nbounded faith in the western half 1 f our continent. He looked beyond ur shores and saw the time when the orld's commerce would be on the aclflc Ocean between countries whose tiores were washed by Pacific waves, [e made a great speech in the sente in favor of his national highway ill. This bill provided for a grand ational highway from St. Louis to an Francisco. His speech shows his nowledge of the west, and that he erived his knowledge from traders, -appers, hunters and explorers. He lid: "But these traders do not write ooks ana mane maps, uui mey en- j ble other people to do It. There are * lenty of these men in the great west t present?men who know every pass 1 the mountains, every ford in the [vers, every spot fit for cultivation, nd the best and the shortest way rom any one point to another?who new every buffalo road and every ndian war trail between the Missisppi and the Pacific Ocean?and these ten can go and work out a road from te frontier of Missouri to the Bay f San Franclesco as fast as a horse an trot." The old dream of the benefits to lankind from the navigation of the orthwest Passage was thus sought nd secured by a straight westward lute through the heart of the land, he result was to come not through ae science of navigation, but by atesmanshlp. The navigator was te world's first geographer, but the atesman is the last and greatest " eographer. Two of these marked te opening of the nineteenth century -Jefferson and Napoleon. These ,vo statesmen geographers made taps, not on paper, but on contients, with rivers and oceans for oundaries. Both Jefferson and Naoleon knew the worth of the map ley made west of the Mississippi Iver in 1803. Jefferson lived and died ast o fthe Alleghany Mountains, but e seemed to feel a magnetic force 1 the west?even as one celestial ody feels the attractive presence of nother. Hardly had our government cqulred dominion over Louisiana hen President Jefferson sent his rlvate secretary to travel through the ew annexation. The Lewis and lark expedition was the forerunner f the achievements of such exlorers and travelers as Fremont and lilpln and Bridger. These were the radical geographers of our country.

AT the meeting of the County Union held In the court house In Yorkville on Saturday, March 11, It was made clear that as the result of his visits to various Unions In the western part of the county during the week previous, Brother J. B. O'Neal Holloway, Deputy State Organizer, awakened much interest among the brethren, and it was the unanimous desire that he continue his work in the eastern half of the county. Brother Holloway explained that he could not go right on with the work, because of a two weeks' engagement in Cherokee, beginning March 13; but offered to come back after March 27, It was decided however, that it would be best to wait until work slackens up a little after planting time, and it was decided to arrange a schedule beginning on Tuesday, April 25.
