Oxford, March 3. The farmers in the southern corners of Chester and Lancaster counties are up in arms against the Full Crew "excess man crew" Law.

There is a very obvious reason for this. They see the absurdity of the workings' of this law carried to an extreme. More than this, they have a very direct interest in the matter. About six months ago some forty of the richer farmers of thi3 section bought the Lancaster, Oxford and Southern Railway for $40,000. This is a little railroad with twenty-sight miles of line.

It makes the only transportation service through a country with about 2500 population. There is not much traffic on the road, either passengers or freight. In fact, there are only two or three trains a day, each of which carries one passenger coach and as many freight cars as the traffic requires. It is the rarest thing to see a train of ten cars. The- average train 'consists of two to five cars.

Under the law each train, even if made up of only four cars, must carry a crew of five men two on the engine and three on the train. This also holds if there are only two cars, as sometimes happens, when one of them carries freight, for the law provides that no railroad can "operate over its road any freight train consisting of less than thirty freight or other cars with a train crew consisting of less than five persons." The farmer owners of this little railroad calculate that the wages of a train crew of five men almost equal the average earnings of three cars.

Let Us Convince You THE JUr Shouting a at in Cleveland Man's Success Shows There. Is More to Poker Than Holding of Hands.

There is a middle-aged attorney In Cleveland, says the Plain Dealer of that city, who is an eloquent speaker, a good story-teller, a flue lawyer and well, an awfully good poker player. This attorney got into a little game with a few friends in New York the Other day, says our informant With him was a Gothamite who said very little, but played his hands for all they were worth. Finally, the Cleveland attorney opened a pot for five dollars, and the New York man raised it to $10. The others dropped out and watched to see if the judge (we will call him judge) would stay. The judge looked at the chandelier and said: "Did I ever tell you the story about Tom Keller, over In our town?" "Let's hear what you are going to do about this pot before you start a story," said the New Yorker, nervously.

"Tom was a lawyer and a Joker. He was the quickest man with an answer I ever met. He "Never mind. What are you going to do about my raise?" "Don't Interrupt me. Tom" and the lawyer finished his story.

It was funny, but we haven't time to repeat it here. Everybody laughed except the New York man. He repeated: "Well, what are you going to do about my raise?" "Pardon me. I see it and draw three cards." The Manhattan man stood pat and bet $25. That Cleveland man called him and showed a pair of Jacks.

The New Yorker had a busted flush and said It wasn't good poker. "But how could you call me on a pair of jacks?" he grumbled. "Easy. Your first bet puzzled me. I didn't know whether you had a good hand or a four-flush.

But I told a good story and you didn't laugh. That showed that you weren't sitting comfortably behind that hand, even If you backed it with a raise. If you had laughed at my story I'd have passed. But you looked so solemn and worried that I backed my Jacks, See?" What a game It is! Radium and Cancer. It is noted by the New York Medical Record that the factB brought out by painstaking and long continued Investigation in several large series of cases in the Samaritan hospital at Heidelberg, the Vienna Radium Institute, the Radium Institute at London, and other places are that radium le not to be relied upon as a curative agent in the treatment of true cancer.

It Is the matured opinion of those who have learned by experience that Incalculable harm has been done by the widespread dissemination of gross exaggerations as to the value of radium in the treatment of cancer, and that It will devolve upon the medical profession to correct these false impreselons. In addition to this, emphasis should, for the present at least, be placed on the fact that no operable cancer, with the exception of that affecting merely the skin, should be treated by radium in preference to tlje knife. "Rarely, apparent cures," says the Record, "have been obtained fn some the Inoperable cases, but In no Instance has there been a complete eradication of the ultimate ramifications of the, disease." Pie Seasons. The pie tree fruits at this season and bears plentifully. Some persona hold that the pie season Is 12 months long.

It is not. Really, however, there are two pie seasons, one when the blackberries, raspberries and blueberries are ripe and when apples are green, and the other when the frost Is on the pumpkin. The pies of the In-between times are as lead to gold to the pies of other times. No pie except the pumpkin pie Is a pie at all unless the Juice runs from between the covers, the Juice of ripened fruit charged with sun and dew. Custom makes us eat pie laet.

It is a hard rule, redeemed only by the anticipation which helps us to go through the preliminary staples, glad In the thought of the delectable to come. Honor Woman Astronomer. Miss Cannon of London classified 160,000 stars according to their spectrum, and In recognition of this unparalleled work the Royal Astronomical society of Great Britain has made her an honorary member. Her discoveries include a great numlflr of variable stars and other, important heavenly bodies. The presiding officer of the astronomical society in announcing the distinction conferred upon Miss Cannon spoke of her almost unique ability of determining from a star's spectrum the type to which it belongs according to Its material composition and other peculiarities of the spectrum.

Hla Son Wrltea That He Only 8ald "Good Night" and "Good Morning" to Hit Children at a Matter of Duty. There was one distinguishing and, at first eight, peculiar trait, in my father's character, due perhaps to the fact that he grew up without a mother, and that was that all exhibitions of tenderness were entirely foreign to him. I say "tenderness" In contradiction to heartiness. Heartiness he had, and in a very high degree. His description of the death of my Uncle Nikolai la characteristic In this connection.

In a letter to his other brother Sergei Nikolaievitch, in which he described the last day of hit brother's life, my father tells how he helped him to undress: "He submitted, and became a different man. He had a word of praise for everybody, and said to me: 'Thanks, my You understand the significance of the words at between us two." It is evident that In the language of the Tolstoy brothers the phrase "my friend" was an expression of tender ness beyond which imagination could not go. The words astonished my father even on the lips of his dying brother. During all his lifetime I never received any mark of tenderness from him whatever. He was not fond of kissing children, and when he did so in saying good morning or good night, he did it merely as a duty.

It is therefore easy to understand that he did not provoke any display of tenderness toward himself, and that nearness and dearness with him were never accompanied by any outward manifestations. It would never have come into my head, for instance, to walk up to my father and kiss him or to stroke hit hand. I was partly prevented alto from that by the fact that I alwayt looked upon him with awe, and his spiritual power, his greatness, prevented me from seeing In him the mere man the man who was to plaintive and weary at times, the feeble old man who so much needed warmth and rest. The years will past. The accumulated Incrustations which hide the truth will pass away.

Much will be wiped out and forgotten. Among other things my father's will will be forgottenthat will which he himself looked upon at an "unnecessary outward means." And men will tee more clearly that legacy of love and truth In which he believed deeply, and which, according to his words, "cannot perish without a trace." In conclusion, I cannot refrain from quoting the opinion of one of my kinsmen who, after my father's death, read the diaries kept both by my father and my mother during the autumn before Lyoff Nikolalevlch left Yasnaya Poly-ana. "What a terrible misunderstanding!" he tald. "Each loved the other with such poignant affection, eaeh was suffering all the time on the other's behalf, and then this terrible ending! I tee the hand of Fate In this." From Count Ilya Tolstoy's "Remln-ltoeooes of Tolstoy," in the Century. Agricultural Expert.

An American congressman In hla last electim was opposed by a man who owned, a farm and posed as a great friend of the farming Interests. The congressman had once owned a farm and a herd of Jerseys, but had lost money at It and given It up. But he did not Intend to let his opponent have him at a disadvantage, to he issued a challenge. "Well go to any dairy farm you select," he said, "and If I dont milk more cow than you do In the course of an hour, I'll withdraw from the contest If I win then you withdraw." But his opponent refused to accept the challenge. "How many cows can you milk per hour?" Inquired a friend of the challenger.
