Dr. Ratling, tbs iarentor of tbs fa mous but somewhat out of data Gat ling gun, has determined to exercise his inventive powers la ths art of peace. While be does not propose to fulfill the ancient prophecy that swords shall be turned Into plowahares and spears Into pruning hooks, ho doss propose to ap ply the same principle that mads the Gatling gnu an Instrument for killing by wholesale to the construction of a plow that will make farming a pastime and emancipate ths horse, mule and ox from any further slavery to the la bor of tilling the soil It Dr. Gatling makes good bis promise-the labor of five out of six of thy men required to do the plowing under present methods will be dispensed with, although he has so far failed to Invent a plan by which the surplus farm laborers will get their living. Briefly, Dr. Gatling proposes to use the automobile as the motive of his new multiple plow. A series of plows set in a frame one behind the other propelled by an Yutomolitie for which oil os gasoline will furnish the motive power and managed by on* man. will do ss much plowlug In a day at t(as heretofore been done by twelve tfillel with half as many drivers. The motor Is to be so constructed that It can be used to thresh grain, shell corn, saw ths wood and haul the farm prod uce to market. In other words. It la to be an all round motor which can be adapted to about everything but haul ing the family to ebureb on Bunday, or to ths quilting and husking bees o* weekday evenings. While the average farmer Is fond of horses and likely to be a little Shy of any labor-saving in vention that will curtail the demand for oats, corn and bay, lie will not lie averse to en invention that will make plowing a pleasant relaxation from la bor Instead of the wearing, tiresome., work H Is now, and If Dr. Gatling will construct a machine that will enable see |i*n to do the plowing for six ttoi Mle <A«n upholstered spring seat while he is doing It an entire plow-weary gen-- •ration will rise up to call him blessed. Poor Rlchsrd's much-quoted couplet to ths effect “that he that by the plow would thrive must either hold himself or drive,\ can be laid away in the gar ret along with Dr. Gatllng'a outdated gun. The plowing for the spring erops can be dons so quickly that the farmer and his family can go to the watering place* along with the other summer aeSkert after reat, tha farmer return ing home for a week to live on a cold anack while hs gather* the harveat and get* ready to auperlntend tbs fall plow ing. Dr. Gatllng’a new Invention may be yet a long way from the patent right •tage, but it ta at leaat a better con ception tban that of the invention for which he la beat known at preeent It Is much better to make life easier for human beings than to kill them, and If Dr. Gatling’s automobile plow will perform as well as he promlies he will Oloae his career ss a benefactor of (fie h*imaa race if be did begin It as an arch destroyer.

The ducheas' time Is not as much given up to society as had been that of some of her predecessors. Bhe Is devot ed to charitable works, and the villag er* never tire of repeating tales of her grace’s goodness.

Many are tho 'treats” snd picnics they recelrs at her expense.

There was a nickel all ready for her fingers, but when one pale-faced young man added ft giggle to his smile the nickel was thrust aside for a $2 hill.
