J *1 \ 6 ~ ???MAN MUCH SOUGHT FOR BULLY HAYES AN OUTLAW IN AL MOST EVERY CIVILIZED PORT. Oeeds of Daring and Sharpnesf' Had Made Him a Notorious Character Throughout the Whole PacificAustralia Most Angry. Bully Hayes, the South Pacific pirate, as he was called, was a frequenter of San Francis?} harbor and became the most notorious character in the whole Pacific, says a writer in the London Weekly. Over six feet three Inches in height; he was possessed of immense physical strength and of this he was extremely proud. Ho was also a handsome man, with bright blue eyes, a strong nose, well cut mouth, large mustache and long clustering hair. The most marked feature in his character was temper, which, when once aroused, passed entirely out of his control. In these moments of ungovernable rage he became little short of a madman. His smiling face would assume the look of a demon, his eyes became almost black, and his face flashed to a deep purple. At such times he would do deeds of the greatest cruelty, not scrupling to take the life of those who offended him. Possessed of considerable culture, epeaklng German, French and Spanish fluently, his scandalous performances had made him an outlaw In almost every civillxed port. Sharp lookout was kept for him at Melbourne in consequence of an un scrupulous fraud ho played there on the occasion of a previous visit. He had shipped 300 Chineso at Hongkong for Melbourne. At that le a poll tax of $50 each was paid by every Chinese landing at that port. Before going on board the Chinese had each paid Hayes their $50, aB well aB the charges for the voyage; but the knavish captain had no thought or Intention of paying over to the Australian government the large amount he had received as poll tax, amounting In all to something like $15,000. When the port was within sight he contrived, with the assistance of his carpenter, to almost scuttle the vessel by making a large hole in the side. In an apparently waterlogged and Inking condition the vessel slowly entered the harbor. Hayes then had a flag of distress hoisted. Immediately the pilot and a number of tugboats put out to their assistance. When they same alongside the captain shout ?d, telling them of bis sinking and hopeless condition. "For mercy's take," said he, "don't stop to tow us to the shore, but Bave these hundreds of poor distracted creatures by getting them on shore at once In your boat. [ care nothing about my own life. If you will only save these poor follows. Then, when they are on shore, come Immediately for us. In the meantime we will work away at the pumps and try to keep the ship afloat." Accordingly, the 300 Chinese were ' transshipped Into the tugboats and con- j eyed to the nearest landing place, which was several miles away. While , this was being done all hands were put to work at the pumps. Then when j the last of the Chinese had been taken off, the bow of the vessel was turned seaward and away went the I hip with Captain Hayes and his crew. He had managed to land 300 Chinese and yet kept the {15,000 poll tux for himself. It was a cruel business for the pilot company, who had to pay the poll tax themselves, and were nearly ruined thereby. 1 Guessing at the Weather. Texas Far Co-Oneration. After the recent disastrous rains in East Texas we may expect a large number of volunteer weather prophets to come forward and remark, "I told you so." Probably some of them did. Usually out of the mass of predictions made about our American weather every year somebody the U. S. Weather Bureau does so. But good guesses prove nothing. The farmer who bases his scheme of farming and plants his crops on the strength of somebody's weather predictions usually comes to grief. The farmer who never puts all his eggs in one basket and who has a system of crops w hich, come wet or dry, will make something, is the farmer who doesn't worry about what the almanacs says. Fifty or sixty years ago when West era Illinois was being settled, the pioneers usually arrived in the Bp.ingtime. Naturally, rivers were high and frequently bottoms were flooded. The result was every pion<>or ahnnnpfl thp rlvpr hnllnma and homesteaded on the higher grounds. It to' \ but a few years to show that the river bottom floods didn't last the year round, and when one season some venturesome farmer put In a field of corn In the bottoms and gathered a big crop, a rush for the bottom lands started. And the result was that the man who went In wholly for bottom lands had frequent years of grief. The few who had some land both on the parlrle and the bottoms, got the season going and coming, as they say. So It Is the country over. Not every man can have both upland and bottoms, but In most years he can hftvo n combination of c.rons which will bo much safer than anybody's guesses about the seasons or the weather. >' The Only Theory. \ V Housekeeper?"I think you \ charge a perfectly awful price for \ salt pork."

Wall Street Journal. E. T. Wilmot, president of the Austin National Hank. Austin Texas, and director in the Texas division of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Hailroad, is In the city and speaks with assurance based on intimate knowledge of crop and business conditions in the southern half of Texas. He says in part: "Barring anything like severe storms such as may befall the grow ing crop of cotton between fruiting and picking, our state will this year produce no less than 5.000.00(1 bales, the value of which including seed, will be $350,000,000. In Williamson county, when I left home," he continued by way of details, "the J bolls were just beginning to crack | open and show the white. Specimens which I saw, representing the average fruitage of the stalk, had all | that they could properly take care i of, and that is the condition generalI ly. Nothing short of violent storms | to strike the country when the boll I is open will prevent us from having a record year. That part of the crop planted in March will be ready for picking within a week. The April planting will be somewhat later, but ! none of it will be unuhually late." Dr. Wilmot was asked about those I sections in the south of Texas where I rainfall had only been about two' thirds of the normal. "We had been ! short of rain for about three years [in Texas,' he assented, "but tnis seaj son's distribution of the supply that j came was noted for its timeliness. One day it rained here and the next j day there, in the same general district until all but a few localities got [the needed relief at the niclc of time. | The result is tht we have a good allround year in which the five main crops of wheat, oats, forage and corn, as well as cotton, have practically been secured in unusual quantities. Seldom has the state had a year like this because it will save the farmers millions of dollars in feedstufTs for his live stock which he formerly had to provide by shipping in from outside the state." On the boll weevil President Wilmot is an optimist. "The weevil proves to be a blessing in disguise, having come when cotton was low in price and the general market suffering from overproduction. The weevil," he points out, "checked production and helped to raise cotton, which twenty years ago was selling | at 3cents a pound. The reduction in ncrence which followed the ! invasion was accompanied by enforced diversification, better send selection, earlier planting and improved cultivation. It was the custom before weevil time to lay by cotton J as early as possible, but now the better farming method keeps running the cultivator through the rows until the plant gets too big for mule and driver to pass. That keeps the soil loose and is most effective in accelerating the rate of growth." Regarding reports that cotton is shedding under extreme heat in Texas, Dr. Wilmot cautions the public against taking any alarm. The plant is heavily fruited, he avers, and could not possibly bring to maturity all the blooms and bolls now on it. Shedding is the normal process of eliminating surplus fruit, leaving only what the plant can safely bring to maturity. Dr. Wilmot looks for bank deposits to increase, as the result of cotton selling, as early as September 1. Merchants are buying what they know they can sell and little else. A New Way to Can Fruit, Following is a little article entitled "A New Way to Can Fruit," taken from the August Woman's 'Home Companion: "Within the past year 1 have become greatly interested in the pracI tical bulletins sent out by the dej partment of agriculture. The one i which has been of raosi value in discovering to me a new way of performing an age-old duty is Farmers' Bulletin No. 203, on 'Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies,', by Miss Marie Parloa. It tells how to can > fruit by cooking it in the oven. "This method has in its favor the | following points: (1) it is quick and !easy; (2) the fruit remains whole, and is exceptionally beautiful in form and color; (3) the goodness remains in the fruit, and the syrup is not too rich. "The jars are sterilized by boiling them for 15 minutes. Into, them while still hot. the clean fruit is packed, and over the fruit a boiling syrup is poured. "For a eiven and actual amount of cleaned fruit allow* half as much sugar, and the same amount of water as sugar, to make the syrup. For Instance, if when your strawberries are hulled and picked over you have 12 full quarts of fruit, by measure, 1 then make a syrup of six quarts of sugar and six quarts of water. The water may be poured on the sugar either hot or cold, and it should be stirred until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Boil for about 15 minutes. It is a safe rule to be sure to make plenty of.syrup of these proportions: for if any is left it may be sealed up and used with the next batch of fruit, or it may be boiled down and eaten with pancakes. The syrup may be made on the day before the canning and be reheated while the jars i nre sieruizea. "I purchased at a hardware store for 35 cents a piece of asbestos cut so that it exactly fit the oven floor of my range. This I slip in Just before 11 begin to fill my jars. When the Jars I are filled with the fruit, and syrup I has been poured in up to the neck of the Jar, I set them into the oven, which is fairly hot, not covered and not touching each other. The oven ; is then closed, and they are left In j for ten minutes, or until the fruit is soft. The Jars are then removed, and if not full, filled to the brim with boiling syrup and sealed in the usual I THE LANCASTER NEWS PUBLIC MEN ARE HONEST SA Speaker Clark Tells Women's Demo- D*>'>! cratlc League Everything in | Politics Is Not Corrupt. t'l 1) Washington.?"If you are going to have anything to do with politics don't let the pessimists lead you to believe that everybody and everything conneoted with American politics is cor- no , runt.

National Stockman and Farmer. | ^ 1 Not long ago a young man called 1 k on the dean of an agricultural colle ge and said that he wanted to enter ' _ the agricultural course next fall. The U dean questioned him closely and found that he knew nothing of farm ing, had never done any farm work ?i r?and did not think he would like to JJub" do it. Finally it developed that the mmi boy's natural inclination was toward electrical engineering and he was this promptly sent around to the school ^ of engineering. This is mentioned an"til merely to show the necessity of helping a boy to find himself before he cur.<i makes the grave mistake of taking l*". a course for which he is unfitted by SoI nature and by previous training. I Just now a large percentage of boys * who enter agricultural courses are from cities. Some of these will make splendid students of agriculture and H good farmers; others are studying agriculture merely because it is popular. Those who are in charge ot ir educational Institutions should H examine their students carefully in order to prevent mistakes that mean H much to the boys and the colleges too. Doctors Do Not Differ Always. From the Laurens Advertiser. It has been a long time since we have seen a manlier statement than that jointly published in the Gaffney Ledger this week by two physicians of that city. It required a great deal of courage to do as they did, but they must feel that a great load has been lifted from their shoulders and that a great deal of good will come of it, in many ways other than the H good example they have set. The no tlce is as follows: H "To our friends and the public in general: "Feeling that it was our duty to i ourselves, our patrons and the pub- I lie in general to effect a reconcilia- * tion of the difference that have ex- M isted between us and physicians for the past four years, we have today decided to forget and forgive, so far as the past is concerned, and to work tm together in the future in a spirit of frendliness: and we take this means Hi n f l^ttincr Alir f:?loTw1o lrnr\n? thn ro I suit of our decision, feeling that It I will unite all factions.
