Washington, D. C The United
states supreme court hag afliirmed
the opinion of the circuit court of
Appeals in the case of the Knights
Templarnd Masons' Life Insur
ance company vs Rosa B. Jarmann.
The tate involved the validity of
the suicide statute of Missouri,
providing that suicide shall not be
a defense against the payment of a
life insurance policy. The decision
sustained the law and held the
company liable for the amount of
the policy regardless of the fact
that the policy contained a clause
for the invalidation of the policy
in case of suicide, "whether voluiv
tary, sane or insane."

Admiral Robley D. Evans re
cently took a spin in a hired auto
mobile, and as he sped along the
thought came to him that he might
well own a machine. So he began
chatting to the chauffeur, giving
his opinion of the gasoline, the air,
the electric and ether forms of
"auto," and wound up by saying:
"And now, my man, you ought to
be a judge. What kind of a ma
chine would you select?" "Well,
sir," replied the chauffeur, "I've
often thought it over, and came to
this conclusion that if I wanted to
buy one I'd save up my money and
get a good horse. Hartford Times.

Congress has been puttering over
the immigration laws a long time
without accomplishing much of
real value, but it seems now that
there is a fair prospect of making
such changes in the law as are im
peratively needed.
Immigration to this country
continues large, and, on the whole,
the character of the newcomers is
more undesirable every year. A
large proportion of the im
mieranU are from Southern Eu
rope, and too many of them are
icnorant, vicious and without qual
ities that insure their becoming
good citizens. It is quite generally
W the conntrv is no lone-

er in need of additions to its popu
lation's it once was, and while
' the people seeking a change of
nationality are of so undesirable a
character, it is quite natural that
s there should be a demand for
stricter regulations in admitting
the refuse from foreign lands.
A country with the opportuni
ties of the United States will al
ways be attractive to Europeans
who are crowded into places where
there is but scant chance to make a
comfortable living. There is no
serious objection to admitting wor
thy immigrants who wish to be
come Americans and become iden
. tified with the growth and upbuild
ing of the country, but the people
of southern Europe who would
merely change the squalor of their
native land for the low tenement
districts and anarchistic hotbeds of
American cities are not wanted,
and the bars should be put up
against them. Spokane Review.
Wheat Bran Far Hen.
There seems to be a question in j
the minds of some as to the advis
ability of feeding wheat bran in the
daily rations of the laying flocks.
Having fed bran to my hens every
day for several years, I ain pre
pared to give it a hearty indorse
ment as a good and profitable feed
when used intelligently. I have
not found it well to feed largely of
it, as it is a bulky feed, and not
very palatable. As a rule, hens do
not take kindly to it .except in lim
ited quanities.
The mineral elements in good
wheat bran provide the hen with
substances required for good health
and profitable egg production. To
be sure, those elements may be fed
in some other form, but bran is
convenient and comparatively
cheap; besides, it is bnlky and
makes a good foundation for the
mixed food which most egg grow
ers feed at some lim? cfjthe day.
My method of feeding it is to use
three parts of bran to one part of
fine cracked corn, or meal, to which
is added the regular fee l of meat
scrap. The proportion of bran
and meal holds gocd throughout
the year, but the amount of meat
scrap varies to suit the season and
the needs of the flock. At present,
six quarts of bran, two quarts of
cracked corn and one quart of beef
scrap, make up the noon feed tor
two hundred hens and pullets.
This is ae much the flock will eat
up clean, and they are always
ready for their "pudding" when
dinner times comes round again,
I believe that one reason why
some feeders have not found bran
profitable is that they have fed too
much of it. One man of my ac
quaintance kept dry bran in a box
before his hens all the time, and
expected them to lay well on that
and one feed of com each day.
Because they did not, he condemn
ed both bran and hens. Again,
one man fed bran and boiled po
tatoes as a principal ration, and
because the hens did not pay their
way he cursed the business and
quit . Bran is good, and so is an
occasional feed of potatoes, or a
daily feed in small quantities; but
to expect hens to lay on such feed
is as unreasonable as to ask a man
to do a hard day's work on the
same fare.
I began feeding bran in small
quantities mixed with other feeds,
to my chicks when only three
weeks old, and they have had it
every day since. They grew well,
kept in good health, matured early
and are laying well. Yes, they
had good care and good feed; be
sides they have been bred to lay,
but if bran as a part of their .daily
feed was detrimental they would
not have done this. You need not
be afraid that bran will hurt the
flock. Feed in moderate quanities
and it will help to keep the hens
in good health and go far toward
filling the egg basket. But remem
ber that bran alone won't make
eggs. (Enoch C. Dow, Belfast,

From Sumpter, Oregon, comes
the news that there is good pros
pect for extensive railroad building
in eastern Oregon next season. The
construction of the Sumpter-Bourne
Railway as soon as spring opens is
an assured fact. Itis claimed that
steam locomotives will be used,
and that the gauge of the road will
be the same as that of the Sumpter
Valley Railway. The track will
be laid along the banks of Cracker
creek, and the terminus will no
doubt be the town of Bourne.
The building of another line
from Baker city to a point near
Strawberry mountain is another
reported undertaking for the com
ing season. This route has been
surveyed and laid out along Burnt
river coming out into the John Day
valley. The builders of the road
are the company owning the Ore
gon Wonder group of claims on
Strawberry mountain. The object
is to provide transportation for the
ores and other products of the dis
trict. The company has been in
corporated with a capital stock of
$15,000,000 and is known as the
Baker City and Oregon Wonder
Electric Railway and Improve
ment Company. The incorporators
are J. W. Bonta, A. A. Hibbs and
W. G. Drowley.

Readers of the Portland Journal
who had heretofore given little
heed to the matter, were startled
at an announcement made in that
paper Saturday, which was made
substantially as follows; "Hun
dreds of young girls in the city are
in the habit of playing Chinese
lotteryl Girls with homes and
girls without them; girls with good
positions and those le?s fortunate
there are who have formed this
habit of thus dallying with des
truction. Even girls who work in
the stores of the city are addicted
to the vice. Not in one instance,
but in. many, is this deplorable
state of affairs known to exist.
Managers of the stores of the large
sorts of business houses where
young women are employed have
no hesitation in saying that the
practice is common, and on more
than one . occasion the agents of
these plague spots have by thene
same managers been thrownodily
into the street, after being warned
that cold lead would be the sure
result of any further attempts to
debauch the women working in
those establishments.
