Roberts Was Credited With Having Both. fcX-1 KEASUfitR YET ACTiVE Reminiscences of His Feud With Roe- coe Conkling and His Hnal Vlo- tory--Plan to Establish Amer­ ican Hospital In Paris. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.--In the different de­ partment buildings of the government there are hanging on the walla pic­ tures of former officials whose work was done In the rooms which their portraits adorn. In the war depart- me&t pictures of the former secreta­ ries of war hang on the walls of the rooms used directly by the present secretary, Henry I* Stimaon. They are fine old portraits, most of them, •»nd they represent a line of men from the days of the foundation of the government until the present hour. By general admission, the finest work of art in the collection is the portrait of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the Confederacy and who at one time held the cabinet position of secretary of war. In the treasury department there are portraits not only of former secretaries of the treasury, but also of former comptrol­ lers, of the currency and former treas­ urers of the Uftlted States and of oth­ er men in high official position. Until a few years ago Ellis H. Rob­ erts of Utlca, N. Y., waB treasurer of the United States. Mr. Roberts is still living and enjoying a virile old age. He was a keen politician and was known as one of the scholars In politics. He Is approaching nicety years of age and yet he is still mak­ ing addresses upon governmental sub­ jects and upon subjects of historical interest. It used to be said of Mr. Roberts in Washington that he had a luck stone in his pocket and ability in his head all through his public career. Feud Between Roberts and Conkling. Roscoe Cpnkling, one of the famous senators of the United States, was from Utica, and Conkling and Roberts, although both Republicans, were very much at outs. For y€ars and years Conkling tried to put Roberts down and out, but at the end, it is said, Roberts had as much to do with put­ ting Conkling down and out as any other man in public life, unless Presi­ dent Garfield be excepted. Early In life Roberts and Conkling. as the Washington story goes, were the best possible friends. Roberts was the editor of a newspaper now no Ipnger In existence, but in Its day one of the ablest Journals In New York state. Conkling and Roberts fell out. The Conkling influence defeated Rob­ erts for Congress. He was imme­ diately appointed assistant treasurer of the United States at New York city. Almost as soon as this appoint­ ment was made Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Piatt resigned' from the senate of the United States because they resented another appointment made by President Garfield. They asked the legislature of New York to vindicate them by returning them to the senate. The Influence of Roberts and his paper helped to kill Conkling politically for .all time and to kill Piatt for a season. Later when Conkling had been out of the political arena for some time, Roberts, who had held a good office •11 the time, was made treasurer of the United States. Piatt came back Into political life and became for a time chief of the Republican party in New York state. Conkling and Piatt are both dead, but Ellis H. Roberts is alive and vigorous and apparently it does not need his picture in the treas­ ury department to recall to Washing­ ton men some of the stories of his life while he was In the midst of public affairs. 8herman Cant Get Away. The vice president of the Unit­ ed States, James S. Sherman. Is perhaps in one way not the happiest man this republic claims among its citizenship. Although he is the sec­ ond officer In the government, he finds that he is virtually chained to his seat except on those rare occasions when the imperative call of duty to his pri­ vate concerns or his family makes him arrange things so that he can get away. The senate of the United States has no president pro tem. Senator Wil­ liam P. Frye of Maine, who was the duly elected presiding officer to act in the absence of the vice president, died last summer, and ever since con­ gress came together the senate li»s been trying without success to elect Mr. Frye"a successor. The progressive Republicans want one senator named for the place and the conservative Re­ publicans want another, while the Democrats stand by a third candidate. The result has been a deadlock which has prevented the election of any man to take Senator PYye's place There Is no immediate prospect that an elec- STINGIEST OF ALL HJJSBANDS Provided Amply for House but Never Let His Wife Buy a Single Thing. A girl I knew in m; youth was mar­ ried after a short acquaintance to a scholarly professional man. He had been brought up und«r hard condi­ tions in a strenuous school of poverty. She was the daughter of wealth and had never been denied a reason­ able wish. Her husband was what Is called a good provider. He bought amply for the table, and was oot averse to having plenty of fuel and sufficient house furnishings to keep his home comfortable and dignified. He simply declined to let Betty buy so much as five cents' worth of any­ thing. He!* did not wish her to have accounts at shops, nor did she desire them. When she wanted to buy any­ thing for herself or the children he accompanied her, superintended her purchases, examined every pair of stockings and every yard of; muslin, and frowned upon niching and trim- tfon can be forced, for neither side to the controversy seems to be willing to yield. " Hit Vote Mtgtii Be Needed. As a result of this trouble the vice president finds it difficult to get away from Washington. The Republican majority in the senate is small and such as it is, it Is divided against it­ self and so the conservative Republi­ cans object to usving Mr. Sherman away when anything of importance Is going to come to a vote for fear that his vote might be necessary to carry the day for then* in case there were a tie, for the vice president of the United States has no voice in the gov­ ernment except when it is used to say yea or nay on some question on which the vote in the upper house is equal between the two sides. Mr. Sherman did go away for a few days recently and a Democratic sena­ tor was appointed president pro tem, but the Republicans took good care that during the time of leave nothing should come to a vote which was of the least legislative Importance. Mr. Sherman sits in the chair now almost with the "continuous regularity" with which Mr. Fairbanks sat in it. The former vice president was away from his duties in the senate on only two occasions during the four years of his Incumbency. Jokes of the Senators. The senate of the United States Is reported generally as the staidest kind of a body. It is Seldom that any jokes are cracked on tlie floor of the upper house, but occasion­ ally there is an approach to hu­ mor, or an attempt at humor on the part of some senator in a speech, and then there are likely to be Bmiles, but there is never anything approaching even the giggle which precedes laugh­ ter. In the quiet of their committee rooms senators occasionally tell sto­ ries and a good many of them have to do with men whom they have known in public life but who are dead and gone. Other stories have to do with their experiences as senators in their dealings with their constituents, espe­ cially such dealings as are had through correspondence. Senators and representatives both are a willing lot, but occasionally there is a limit A' senator from Michigan told some of his committee room com­ rades the other day that he had re­ ceived a letter which he thought ap­ proached the extreme of assurance. This letter, he said, was from a clerk in one of the departments and it vir­ tually ordered the senator--the order being based on the ground that the man who issued it hailed from the state of Michigan--to call upon the superintendent of the division in which the letter writer was a clerk, and tell him to have the clerk's desk moved so that he could spec* the lime when he was not at work lu looking out of the window. The senator vouched for the truthfulness of this story Piatt's Modesty Shocked. The other day a member of the up­ per house told a story of Senator For- aker of Ohio and ex-Senator Piatt of Connecticut who died some years ago. Mr. Piatt was known as the most mod­ est man who ever had a seat in con­ gress. He was modest to the shrink­ ing point. The story ran like this: "When Senator Foraker was making his speech against the proposal to ad­ mit Arizona and New Mexico as one state he quoted from arguments made by Senator Piatt, who years ago on the floor of the senate declared that Da­ kota was too large to be admitted as one commonwealth and that It should be split in twain. The Ohio senator started in thus: 'The senior eenator from Connecticut. Mr. Piatt --' "At this instant the main door of the senate chamber opened and Sena­ tor Piatt appeared and started slowly down the center aisle. He bad not beard his name as it fell from the lips of Senator Foraker. Senator Foraker continued: 'One of fbe most virile- minded, one Of the ablest senators who ever held membership In this body--' "Senator Piatt had advanced ten feet. Every eye was upon him. Sen­ ator Foraker confinued: 'A man known to the country for his distin­ guished services--a man known for the fine quality of his mind--* "Senator Piatt was now within ten feet of the front row of senatorial desks. The eyes were still upon him, and in them and below them was si­ lent laughter. "Senator Foraker went on: "A man whose opinion upon questions of mo­ ment carries weight always and convic­ tion nearly always. I go not astray when 1 seek the words of the eminent senior senator from Connecticut --' "Senator Piatt had been listening without suspicion. His name heard, he fairly folded his towering form, fell into a seat and there sat shivering from the shock to his Connecticut mod­ esty." Guess What. Tow--Yes, Miss Roxley and I are strangers now. I've been asked not to call there again. Jack--I'll bet old Roxley had a hand In that.

W • • •• -v - - RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN CATTLE FEEDING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS FOUGHT HIS WAY TO FREEDOM ' t f \ j v i ' ' ̂ i'J V \i f̂ V i;' '• Feeders of the State Inspecting Oattle Used in Feeding Experiments. By B. E. POWELL, Manager of Publications, College ef Agriculture. The cattle feeders of the state of Illinois met In annual convention at the college of agriculture Friday, April 19. They came to learn the re­ sults of a set of experlments^that had been carried on at the university with seventy head of choice Hereford steers. The experiment was started about November 18 and continued to April 17, 1912--150 days. The object was to determine the efficiency of va­ rious combinations of broken ear corn, cottonseed meal, silage and alfalfa bay as measured by the rapidity and econ­ omy cf gains and marketable finish produced on long yearling steers fed in dry lot during the winter of 1911- 1912. v The cattle were divided into uni­ form lots of ten steers each and fed various rations. The results, though not conclusive In every respect, are very interesting. The leading facts as stated by Mr. H. P. Rusk are found the accompanying table. Summary of results: 1. When the entire roughage consisted of Bllage, shelled corn produced more rapid gains and a higher finish and returned a larger profit than broken corn. 2. The changing from silage to al­ falfa in the middle of the feeding pe­ riod did not give satisfactory results, but results secured in that particular lot ^re not considered normal or con­ clusive. 8. In a ration of broken ear corn and silage, cottonseed meal produced more rapid gains and a higher finish than alfalfa. In a ration of broken ear corn, al­ falfa and silage, the larger the pro­ portion of alfalfa to silage the more rapid the gains, the higher the finish produced and the greater the profit. The larger the proportion of silage to alfalfa, the cheaper the gain. 5. Silage made cheaper gains than alfalfa but did not produce as valuable a finish. These test steers were placed on the Chicago market Thursday, April 11. Two lots sold for $8.35 and five lots at $8.40--some higher than the estimated value of the previous week. The Emperor of Rome Admired the Courage and Pluck of Caractacus. One of the most unique captives ever brought home to Rome by Julius Caesar was Caractacus of the early Britons. This great chief lost every- iuiu£ iu uguiiug 10 drive uufc iu» Romans and was taken prisoner with MB wife and children. When brought before the Roman emperor the proud ruler of the primitive people never showed the least fear. His arms were chained, and the emperor roared to +ry to frighten Caractacus, but the brave chief never so much as quaked. Instead he looked the monarch In the eye and said: "You fight to gain the whole world and to make everybody your slaves. I fought to keep my own land and for freedom." The great courage the chief showed many touched the heart of the eta- •eror, and the ruler of the Romans resolved to see if Caractacus would be as brave when facing warriors. On one of the great holidays in Rome Caractacus was taken to the great open-air amphitheater where the popu­ lace gathered. He was told that if he could defeat the bold knight that would be sent against him he could go back to his home. Caractacus fought as he never had before; for some­ thing sweeter than his life was at stake--that of his wife and children. Justice seemed to have tempered the metal of his weapons, and when he struck the strong armor of his antag­ onist gave way before his fearful blows. The result was that Caractacus and his' family returned to Britain and to happiness. 1911-12 Winter Feeding Results, 150 Days.- OD 00 09 CD 09 to P 00' SB' OB T* f» P* so PP g * P : ® : P : <* : B 5 00 m £ • : X : " i * 5?« fft i* • if E m 1 > 3 4 6 6 T Initial weight 8M0 sm 8870 8940 8990 8960 9065 Final weight 11950 11766.® 11465 11648.3 11990 12221.6 12100 Total gain 2990 2801.6 2596 2706.3 3000 3271.6 3035 Average dally gain l.»»S l.S«7 1.71 i.suS 2.0GG 2.181 2.023 Average daily ration, corn. 12.053 14.065 14.965 14.252 15.532 16.668 16.66 C.

FOLSOM, Assistant Professor of Entomology, University of Illinois. A field of red clover in full bloom is alive with insects. Such a profu­ sion of Insect visitants, both as re­ gards number of Individuals and num­ ber of species at one and the same time, is afforded by no other plant that we know of, with the possible ex­ ception of alfalfa. In the clover fields of the university farm we have taken 200 specieB of insects--not ail of them injurious, though more than half of them feed on the plant. Adding to these the other species that have been listed as feeding on clovers, vetches and alfalfa, it is seen that these plants are food for more than two hundred different kinds of insects. A hundred more are predaceous or parasitic bu these clover insects, or else feed on animal or vegetable matter in the soil of the clover field. No part of the plant escapes attack. The roots are eaten by the larvae and the beetles of the root-borer, as well as by those of half a dozen other spe­ cies, and are drained of their sap by the mealy bus. The stem is hollowed out by the common stem-borer. Both the stems and leaves are pierced by many bemipterous Insects, especially aphlds and jassids, and are eaten by a great variety of caterpillars, beetles and grasshoppers, as are also the Clover Seed-Chalcld, Bruchophagus Funebris; Adult Female. beads of the flowers. The ovule is de­ stroyed by the maggot of the seed- midge. and the developing seed is eat­ en out by the seed-chalcid. Even clover hay is the special food of a certain caterpillar, hence called the clover hay-worm. Some of the insects of the clover field are, of course, beneficial. Such are those that pollenise the flowers-- bumblebees and, to some extent, honey bees--as well as those that act as checks on the injurious Insects. Most of the clover Insects are not limited to clover, but have other food plants aB well. The seed-midge and the seed caterpillar are, however, con­ fined to the clovers, and the seed-chal­ cid to clovers and alfalfa, so far as known. The root-borer is said to eat peas as well as clover. The hay-worm has been found only on bay as yet, but the moth has been raised from masses of dead grape leaves taken In a vine­ yard. The leaf-weevil is reported from -beans and ti*»othy, as well as clover and alfalfa. The clover louse has been a pest of the worst kind on peas and has a long list of food plants. Of the less important clover insects, a few have no other food plant; but the majority can easily maintain their ex­ istence when no clover is at hand. The Insect pests of clover are but seven, and they are within our con­ trol if we choose td control them. Moreover, they can be controlled by means that interfere little, if any, with usual farm practice; and the methods on control do not conflict with one an­ other, but are essentially the same for all clover pests, referring especially to those of red clover. The worst of these to deal with, where It occurs injuriously, is the root- borer. If it is very destructive in spring, plow the clover under, for this insect has quite its own way. The other pests can be disposed of with­ out sacrificing the plant. If the hay crop is threatened seri­ ously in the spring by the leaf weevil or the clover louse, pasture it or clip It back in May; otherwise, cut the hay as early as possible, in order to insure a good second growth. Usually, how­ ever, these two Insects are subdued by natural agencies in spite of their abundance. To get rid of the worst of the in­ sects. pasture or clip back in May or early June; or else cut the h$y as soon aa possible--as soon as it is fresh In bloom, or earlier. Cut red clover, or pasture It lightly, in the latter part of the first eason, as this goes far to reduce the number | of insect pests in the same field the f second year, and does not Injure the clover if done Intelligently. Destroy volunteer clover, which Is a rich nurs­ ery for all kindB of clover Insects. It can be cut most conveniently with the rest of the clover--twice a year. Do not permit red clover to run for more than two years In this region, where it is. for agricultural purposes a biennial MRS.

He does not even chafe as most babies do. 1 feel sure that it is all owing to Cutlcura Soap, for he is fine and healthy, and when five months old, won a prize in a baby contest. It makes my heart ache to go into so many homes and see a sweet-faced baby with the whole top of its head a solid mass of scurf, caused by poor soap. 1 always recommend Cutlcura, and nine times out of ten the next time I see the mother she says: 'Oh!

High honorariums were paid sur­ geons in ancient times. When Dar- fus, the son of Hystaspes, sprained his foot Damocedes was called In, another surgeon of renown having tailed to effect a cure. Damocedes was suc­ cessful, and the king took him to his harem and introduced the doctor to the ladles of the court. The ladies filled a vase of gold with money and precious pearls, which a eunuch was ordered to carry to the doctor. The eunuch let fall the vase, and the care­ ful historian tells us that slaves gath­ ered up the pearls. • dk •m Please Read These Two Letters.

Cato proclaimed the fundamentals of good agriculture In 1 is "De Re Kus- tlca" when he said: "^hat is the first principle of good agriculture? To plo^ well. What Is the second? To plow again, and the third 1^ to manure." To the farmer who had no stock be s&ld: "You can make manure of liUer, lupine straw, chaff, beaJi stalks, busk* and the leaves of the Ilex and oak." NO ONE STRONQER THAN HIS STOMMCHL The celebrated Dr. Abwrnethy of London was firmly of the opinion that dtMMfc ders of the stomach were the most prolific source of human ailments in general. A recent medical writer says: "every feeling, emotion and affection reports at tht stomach (through the sywtem of net-res) and the stomach is affected accordingly. It is the vital center of the body ****." He continues, " so we may be said to live (through) the stomach." He goes on to show that the btomach is the vital center of th* body. For weak stomachs and the oooaequent indigestion or dyspepsia, and tlv- multitude of various diseases which result therefrom, m medicine can be better suited as a curative agent than Z>r.
