Chicago Baker’s Boy Whose Life of
Romance Has Gained for Him the
Title of Prince of Amer-
ican Adventurers.
Chicago.—Like a snatch from a tale
of Morgan, the buccaneer. Is the his-
tory of John Molsant. the aviator, the
events of whose picturesque career
would make a splendid book of fiction.
Molsant was born in Chicago 35
years ago rnd his early history does
not dlfftr from that of any spirited
American schoolboy. His parents were
bakers, and the present family hero
followed their trade, never dreaming
of the thrilling experiences which w ere
to make him. at this hour, the prince
of American adventurers.
While he was yet a boy, his family
moved to San Francisco, and after
several years of restless existence in
that city the elder brothers, imbued
with the tribal love of adventure,
moved to Central America and pur-
chased a coffee plantation in Salvador.
Shortly after John followe,. h ’-a
sisters and then began his cai^ of
adventure. It is a very easy matter
to find trouble in Central America, and
this was a form of amusement in
which the Molsauts took a decided In
terest.
The activities of the strenuous
Americans were watched with sus-
picions by President Figueroa, who
eagerly waited for an opening to wor-
ry them. Finally his scouts discovered
W rifles in the house of the Santa
Amelia ranch, and George and Alfred
Molsant were hustled away to a Sal-
vadorean jail on a charge of Inciting
a revolution. John promptly appealed
, to the state department at Washing-
ton, and. failing to get satisfaction, he
determined to start a revolution.
Jose Santos Zelaya. then president
of Nicaragua, took a friendly interest
In the young American's plan, and
furnished him the Nicaraguan gunboat,
Monotombo. and 100 picked men from
the Nicaraguan army. Two hundred
native Indians partially clad or net
clad at all were induced to volunteer.
At the head of these men Molsant
embarked In the gunboat and, at noon,
June 12, 1907, steamed boldly into the
bay of Aeajutla, a well garrisoned,
fortified Salvadorean port. Before the
commander of the fortress knew what
the visiting craft was about Moisant
Probably Hardiest of All Domestic Fowls and Require Less
Attention and Little or No Out-
lay lor Buildings.
Geese are probably the hardiest of
all domestic fowls. They require less
attention and little or no outlay for
buildings. The two great objections
to gecso are the noise they make and
the fact that they almost spoil a pas-
ture for other stock Cattle or sheep
do not like to grave after geese have
gone over the grass, Yet there should
be a place for them on many more
farms than now keep them. Under
the right conditions, geese give bet-
ter returns than most other farm
oultry, but If you do not understand
their nature and do not know how to
care for them, they are often the
least profitable.
By nature geese are more like cat-
tie In habit of feeding than like poul-
try, writes Mrs. R. B. Rushing In the
Country Gentleman. They are essen-
tially glaring animals, and too much
grain will spoil them. Pure air Is
(•vert of more Importance to geese
than to cattle. They will not thrive
If shut up In buildings. If you have
not a good pasture, do not try to keep
geese, or at least to raise many gos-
lings. They can he kept In yards, If
fed an abundance of fodder corn,
green rape, clover or other succulent
feed; but this adds greatly to the ex-
pense of raising them.
While green pasture Is very Impor-
tant for maintaining the old geese, It
is Indispensable food for young gos-
not only become accustomed to their
now quarters, but to each other, for
geese do not mate readily, and If put
together after Jan. 1 wllj uften fall
to breed that year. Old, well-mat* it
geese of the highest quality are the
cheapest and most profitable to buy
The best way. however, to get a start
with young geese Is to order them be-
fore they are hatched. Have the large
early-hatched specimens selected for
you and delivered early in the fall
They must be kept at least one year
without much profit, and two years be-
fore they do their best, but in this
way one knows the age of the flock
and in the end will be likely to get
much better results.
Two geese are usually sufficient for
one gander, and they often do better
in pairs during the breeding season.
The breeding season begins usuallv
about Feb. 1st, but sometimes one
will begin to lay as early as Decem-
ber, then stop, and begin again in
February. They usually lay from 15
to 20 eggs before becoming broody.
As soon aa they show an inclination
to sit they should bo removed, placed
In a box for a few days, with water
for drink, but given no food. After
this, put them back In Ihe yard, again
and they will soon commence laying.
One gander will drive all others out
of the pen, If they can get out, or in-
jure them quite severely If they can
not get out of the way. Leave one or

had trained his guns on the tower of
the fortress and in less than five min-

not a shot could be fired. Then land-
ing his men, he captured the garrison,
imprisoned the commander and forced
100 Salvadorean soldiers to join his
ranks on the penalty of death. Twelve
Salvadorean 60ldiers had been killed
in the fighting. Giving no heed to the
