THE JUMBO DISTRICT. 

Present Law of the Land at to Men 

and Measures. 

Dallas News. 

rort Worth, Tex,, Dec. 8. Hon. 

s. P. Hardwickc of Abilene is here 

to-da- It will be remembered that 

in the famous contest between 

Cockrell and Dean for congress in 

the thirteenth district last year he 

was the manager from start to 'finish 

of the Cockrell forces. How well he 

performed his task is forcibly evidenced 

by the f.ict that his man now 

holds down the job, even though no 

nomination could be made, and an 

:ippcal to the voters of the district resulted. 

Conversing with the News 

reporter about the situation in that 

district Mr. Hardwickc said: 

"it is about settled that Judge 

Cockrell will retire at the end of his 

term, and of course we hear a great 

deal of talk touching his successor. 

The present indications are that 

there will be no dearth of first-clas- s 

material from which to make a selection. 

Names of good men arc 

freely mentioned from all portions of 

the district, but as to whether or not 

they will become avowed candidate 

later on remains to be seen. The 

people ot the district who vote the 

democratic ticket are divided over 

the silver question, and this will in 

all probability, be quite a factor in 

the contest of next year. The populists 

are numerous in the thirteenth 

district, a fact plainly disclosed by 

the vote cast for the populist congressional 

nominee of last year. 

With united democracy we can whip 

the populist, but with a division in 

our party ranks the result is not so 

certain. I think that with the 

the new year politics will be 

lively in the Jumbo district." 

Hon. J. L. Stephenson of Abilene 

says: "I can't tell you who will be 

the successor in congress of Judge 

J. V. Cockrell. Tns hera of aspirants 

is unusually large this year, and 

in cow-bo- y parlance will be 'hard to 

cut.' In Abilene we have much 

good materiil, and as that city is the 

largest in the district save El Paso, 

and has never furnished a man lor 

any important place save a legislator 

for one term, it certainly would not 

be asking too much to let us into the 

herd. Among the gool congressional 

timber in our city can be mention 

ed Fred Cockrell, S. P. Hardwicke, 

K. K.. Leggett, John Howycr, Henry 

Sayles, C. W. Merchant, Col. Otto 

W. StelVms and others. The prospective 

aspirants for congression il 

honors are at all the shipping points 

ready to be loaded. At Sweetwater 

Representative lteall's ftiends are 

mentioning him, while at Colorado 

City is a bunch ol fine fellows who 

stand high in the scale. Smith and 

Loony being the most prominently 

named. Judge V. H. Cowan of 

Midland is also named, as is Senator 

11. D. Gage of Pecos City. Coming 

back this way we find J. 

H. Calhound and Hon. C. U. Cone-le- e 

at Eastland, and Gen. F. W. 

James oi liaird. Mind you I don't 

say any of these men are candidates, 

but their friends feel that each 

would grace the congressional hall at 

Washington." 

Others here to-da- y, discussing the 

prospective candidates in the thirteenth 

district lor the democratic 

nomination, mention Judge T. A. 

Buckler, Senator J. M. Dean and 

Judge T. A. Falvey of El Paso; 

Judge J. A. Patterson, Hon. K. E. 

Carswell and Hon. T. J. McMurray 

of Decatur, Judge L. C. Barrett, 

Hon, A. K.. Swan, Mayor W. A. 

Squires and others at Henrietta; 

Judge George E. Miller, Hon. A. H. 

Carngan ami J. T. Montgomery of 

Wichita Falls; John H. 

Stephen of Vernon, Judge H. H. 

Wallace and Hon, W B. Plemmons 

of Amarillo. Judge B. M Baker of 

Canadian, Judge W. R. McGill of 

Seymour, Col. J. N. Browning of 

Donley and others In the alxwe 

lilt are democrats of all shades of belief 

on the financial and other questions. 

In this district thr indication are 

alto yood for a livley ro over the 

'prowHlgaticm of a platform, as views 

touching this are widely divergent.

Haskell, Haskell County, Texas, Saturday, Dee. 14, 1895. 

Again the populists arc said to be 

"awfully" awake in all that section 

and it is already a settled fact that 

the next standard barer of the democracy 

in the district will have no 

walkover; indeed, many have grave 

doubts about his success. The peo-pi- c 

of the state can watch the thirteenth 

another year for lively times 

are already assured there. 

The charge is already being made 

by some that the heretofore rampant 

16 to 1 silvcrites are endeavoring to 

have that heretofore live issue dropped. 

Some idea of this is gleaned 

from the following additional utter 

ance of Hon. J. L Stepenson of Ab 

ilene to the News rsporter to-da- 

Said he: 

"I have not taken any stand on 

the financial question because I do 

nof regard it as the paramount issue, 

and because I do not want so much 

agitation. I believe the thirteenth 

is a free silver district, and I doubt 

if any other kind will ever be cut 

out of the herd from it." 

There are numerous sound money 

democrats in the district, however, 

who take a widely different view of 

matters, anu who assert that they 

are in the majority. As before stated 

the fight bids fair to be a memori-abl- e 

one, both in point of the number 

and ability of the aspirants, and the 

expected contest over the formation 

of a platform. Another thing that 

bids fair to increase interest in the 

outcome is thatat about every section 

in the district will go to the convention 

with .1 platform expression 

in support of a local measure. El 

Paso always has demands to enforce 

and, again, there are those who desire 

the removal of the federal court 

now at Graham to some point on the 

line of the railway, In this district 

also are many sheepmen who feel 

that the time to assert them:clves is 

at hand. It is a fact much commented 

on he.re that the recent letter 

of Major E. W. Cave of Houston 

in the News found hearty indorsement 

in many portions of the district. 

Again, matters of interest to the El 

Paso section are antagonistic to the 

extreme eistern and northern sec-ti- o 

s. while the central portion of 

the district has but little in common 

with either. 

The chairman of the district democracy 

is Hon. W. A. Squires of 

Henrietta, a straight supporter of the 

present national financial policy. In 

all sections of the district there exists 

a desire for a straight-ou- t expression 

by platform on all questions 

of interest to it, and already discussion 

is active touching these matters. 

It is expected that the contest will 

open in dead earnest shortly alter 

the holidays. 

Roumania, the valley of the Danube 

and the country about the Black 

sea are developing into important 

corn growing sections, and are beginning 

to compete with the United 

States in that staple. 

The republicans hold a decisive 

majority in the lo.ver house of congress, 

while in the Senate there is a 

tie between the republicans and 

democrats leaving the balance of 

power in the hands of a few populist 

members. 

The Motley county Journal states 

that a Fort Worth party who is interested 

in the Fort Worth and Albuquerque 

railroad project has purchased 

fifty town lots in Matador, 

paying $f 000 for them. The road 

can't get to Matador withor; making 

a detour or running over Haskell. 

Nine "prairie schooners" containing 

fifty-tw- o persons passed in front 

df the News oihce yesterdry going 

west. The people all came from 

Madison county, Ark., and were en 

route to Bell county, where they will 

settle down a farmers and aid in 

the rapid development of Texas. In 

the last three weiks sod wagons 

with an aggregate of aooo people 

have passed west on Commerce 

street, seekers of new homes hailing

We believe that .the outlook for 

Haskell county is better now than 

ever before. As in all new and undeveloped 

countries many of the peculiarities 

of its soil, climate and 

seasons were unknown to the people 

who first cast their lot in it and it 

has taken years of experimental work 

with many disappointments and failures 

of a more or less various nature 

for the farmer to learn whcn,how and 

what to plant and cultivate. During 

this perioJ of trial juite number have 

uecome discouraged and gone away, 

but others have filled their places 

and thoie who have pcfae.cred, believing 

there was a way to success. 

are now well satisfied with the result 

of their efforts: they believe that 

they have mastered the situation; 

have solved the myster of what, how 

and when to plant and cultivate in 

order to be sure of an ample and 

profitable harvest. The catalogue 

of what to plont is nofca nigardl) 

one, it embraces a larg enough list 

of fruits, vegetables, forage and 

sta-pi- e 

crops to permit of a wide diversity 

of crops and a pleasing variety 

of home luxuries. There is no theorizing 

by the Free Press in these 

statements; they are based on the 

statements of our most reliable and 

prosperous farmers the men whose 

energy and pluck have conquered 

the situation and blazed th: way and 

made it comparatively easy for those 

who are to follow, hence we say the 

outlook for rapid settlement and de 

velopment of the country is better-no- 

- th .n ever before, and that those 

who come soon enough to get the 

advantage of choice location and low 

prices will be the fortunate ones. 

If any tendency is more marked 

than another in latter day agriculture 

it is for the farmer to confine his 

operations to a restricted number' of 

acres. No man who reads or thinks 

or observes can fail to see that the 

bes; profit rn.iift.in these days grow 

out of concentration of culture on 

reduced acres. There are a large 

number of people now whose profits 

per a re are running up into the 

hundreds of dollars, but these people 

in every case are operating on 

contracted acreage. The hop growers 

in New York, the fruit growers in 

California, the celry grower, the potato 

grower and small fruit grower in 

many other parts of the country, are 

examples of what nViy be done 

through concentration. The ofd idea 

of it being necessary for a successful 

farmer to own all the lands adjoining 

him has exploded, and it is demon-stnte- d 

beyond a question that the 

wor.t kind of agricultural poverty is 

to be land poor. Thousands of men 

are land poor to dav, too, who would 

make money by selling their surplus 

land even helov vh it they think it 

is worth and concentrating on a 

smaller acriag-;- . Exrlunne. 

A charter has been issued by the 

Oklahoma Territory authorities to 

the Santa Fe, Oklahoma and Western 

Railroad company, which also 

includes a land and townsite company, 

capital stock, $1 500,000. The 

rail toad is to run from Saputpa, I. 

T.. to Vernon, Texas. 

The United States has exported 

in round numbers;. $500,000,000 of 

farm products this year. 

It is slid that the railroad commission 

will be in politics pretty 

strong next election. 

St. Louis captured the next national 

republican convention. It 

will be held in June.

M. U. 

He Outiot the 2Iule- - 

Exchange. 

As the road turned around the hill 

I came upon a mule and a cart and 

a man. The wheels of the cart had 

sunk down into a mudhole, and the 

mule stood with his head down and 

ears lazily working to and fro. As 

for the man, he lay on his back in 

the shade of a tree and seemed to 

be taking solid comfort. 

"What's the matter," I asked as 

he sat up and looked at me. 

"Mewl has balked," he slowly replied. 

"You mean that he has refused 

to pull the cart out of the mud." 

"Zact.y." 

"Hut it's a big load and a small 

mule," I urged. "Why don't you 

give him some help?" 

"It's agin my principles. I've 

yelled at him and I've licked him 

till I'm tired, but I'll be do-gonif 

I take anything o:T that load or 

boost that cart! No, sah we stay 

right here till the pesky critter gsts 

up and humps hisself and pulls that 

cart out o' the mud." 

"Then you are not in a hurry." I 

querried. 

"No, sah, no hurry 'tall he replied, 

as he hitched back to get more 

shade. "My son Dan is pluwin' out 

the corn with the cow, the old woman 

is fixin' up the fences, and I've 

a gallon of whis'iy and .1 poind of 

terbacco in the cart. It's a question 

of bein sot, and if I can't stay sot 

longer'n a $3 mewl then I'd better 

move out of Alabama." 

Five days later I met the man at 

Greenville and asked him how the 

"sotness" came out. 

"Oh! yes!" he replied with a grin. 

"Wall, I camped right thar, fur two 

days and nights, a singing hymns 

and restin' up and bavin' a good 

time, and then that mewl, a seein' 

that when it come down to sotness 

he warn't in it with me, tool; right 

holt and pulled that cart outer the 

mud and galloped all the way home.

Ol'XD VALLEY Is 

the wildest part ot 

K, Cal. The mountains 

round about It are 

--r almost Inaccessible, 

r.-y- u 

and the ranchers 

and cowboys who 

make up its popula- 

tion are wild and 

lawless. Hvery man 

stnnds on his own 

merits, the chief merit being the quick 

eye and the steady hand of the dead 

shot. The great ranchers of this region 

arc George White and Vcs Palmer. For 

several years hardly a week passed 

without a free fight between parties of 

their covvbo.vs, either In the streets of 

Covelo or In the mountain wilds. 

, 

The head vaquero for White was Jim 

Vinton: the head vnqurro for Palmer 

was Jack Llttlefield. Both were fear-les- s 

men, renowned for strength, hore- - 

jmanshlpand skill with Winchester nt,l 

revolver. Hut Jack Llttlefield was 

heroic. His friends loved him 

'and admired him, his enemies feared 

him. Ho was not the man to shoot 

from ambush. Even when ho was 

drunk he always fought fair. He 

would go after the wandering cattle 

where other men dared not go. He 

would attack and conquer the fiercest 

of steers in those wild mountain herds. 

One day at Covelo he was druuk. and a 

hwge fellow, nearly twice his size, did 

something which Llttlefield took as an 

Via1 ' .ifiillij a it?.. BBBBBBBBBBBSkX 

IP i- - - iiHliB 

ill i; ul hMl 

a Sgffm 

Insult. Despite the difference In Elze 

Jack leaped at him and struck hlra In 

me lace. 

"I can't take this up," said the big 

man, looking down at him, "I'm not 

armed." 

"Oh, you want shooting?" said Llttle- 

field, and he drew out two navy re- 

volvers. "Take your choice and back 

down the street." The big man re- 

fused. 

They all know the story old George 

Gwynn told nbout Jack. Gwynn had a 

pretty daughter, who loved Jack as 

much as Jack loved h"r. The old man 

forbade him the house, and Jack went 

up there ono dark night to carry the 

girl off. "But I was on tho lookout," 

said the old man afterward. "It was 

pretty dark, but I made him out, and 

shot at him from the "window. Ho 

stopped bis horse and sat still and let 

mo pop at him. And pretty soon he lit 

his pipe. The wind was blowing, nnd 

It took several matches. And every 

every time the match Hashed I shot. 

If he didn't keep on striking 'urn 

and sitting there till I got tired of 

shooting. Then he rode away." 

Many a fight, single-hande- d or at 

the head of a wild party of Palmer's 

men, did Jack have with White's vnque-ro- s. 

And as ho always came out ahead, 

a dozen of White's men hated him with 

a Jealous, mortified fury that could only 

bo appeased by his death. Botwen 

him and his employer, "Vot" Palmer, 

there was a irl"ndshlp Hko that of 

David and Jonathan, a friendship based 

upon the things thev had endured to- 

gether and the memory of the tight 

places in which each had saved tho 

other. 

Tho great cause of the love and devo- 

tion of LVIefield for Palmer ond tho 

chief cause of the tragedy In this story 

was the fight between Jack and Joo 

Greggory, up In the Ked mountain coun- 

try, Greggory Is a White vaquero. He 

nnd several of his frlewls met Palmer 

and Llttlefield. A quarrel arono be- 

tween Greggory and Llttlefield, nnd. In 

a fair fist fight, Llttlefield knocked 

Greggory out. As Jack turned to nt 

his horse, Greggory sprang upon 

him with a long knife and stabbed him 

again and again In the shoulders, arms 

and face. Palmer Jumped nt Greggory 

and, by tho strength that fury gavo 

him, wrenched his knife away, beat 

and kicked him Into Insensibility and 

then pitched his body Into a deep can- 

yon. Then ho took up his bleeding 

friend, carried him to the nearest camp,

, X frJnd v.ro together In this pur- - 

pose. Tho morning at Sept. 25 Llttle- 

field went away to Windy Hldge to 

look after some cattle. From there ho 

went on five miles to the northwest to 

lead out n wild steer from Hod Moun- 

tain creek. Soon after he disappeared 

In that direction Joe Vinton, White's 

head vaquero, enme along Windy Hltlge, 

riding to the southeast, exactly tho op- 

posite direction to that In which LU-tlfie- ld 

had gone. 

A mile and a half from Tom Hay-den- 's 

house, some one In ambush shot 

Vinton In the breast. Vinton says It 

was Llttlefield. Hut there are plenty 

of rellnble witnesses to prove that Vin- 

ton cither lied or was mistaken. At 

any rate, Vinton lay Insensible for an 

hour and then, coming to his senses, 

crawled through the bushes to Hay-den- 's 

cabin. Next day he sent a note 

Into Covelo to John Kohrbough, White's 

overseer. Here Is the note: 

"I have been knocked over. Send 

men to take care of cattle. Send a 

doctor. Tell Lady I've been shot 

through and through. VINTON." 

"Lady" was old man Shore's daugh- 

ter. Clara, to whom Joe Vinton was en- 

gaged. With the doctor came Clara 

Shore, and at the last reports she was 

still nursing him. His wound was not 

fatal. The bullet went through his 

left breast. Upon the heels of the doc- 

tor came a pose from the sheriff's of- 

fice mad" up of enemies of Jack Llttle- 

field. Not a man in it that had not 

some grudge against him. Only one 

was a regular constable Hayllss Van 

Horn. There were Joe firecgory, who 

had sworn to kill Llttlefield, and Jack 

Crow, and Buck Lacock nnd Fred Had-cllff- e, 

and Cord Van Horn and Jim 

Simmons. 

The morning of the second day after 

Vinton was shot this party, with the 

exception of Jim Simmons, rode away 

from Hayden's to arrest Llttlefield. 

Simmons had disappeared In the night, 

and Tom Haydon himself rode with 

the party In his stead. About noon

Llttlefield and two of his assistant 

vaqueros Wllburn and young Wathen 

were eating down on the bank of 

Hull's creek. Up the trail came Con- 

stable Van Horn and Jack Crow. As 

soon as they reached the three men alt-tin- g 

In the grass Vr-- Horn said: 

"Throw up your hands. Jack!" 

"I won't throw up ray hands for any 

man on the face of the earth, Bayliss 

Van Horn," retorted Jack. "But if you 

want my gun, take It." 

Van Horn took Jack's gun, told him 

for w hat he was arrester and asked him 

to come along. Jack Llttlefield laughed 

at the Idea that he had ambushed a 

man, mounted his horse and was ready. 

Wllburn nnd Wathen watched him un 

til ho disappeared from sight around 

the turn In the fall. He was un- 

armed and was riding between Van 

Horn and Crow. 

About three hours after this Van 

Horn and Crow, riding alone, were ford- 

ing Ked .Mountain creek. Walter 

Clark, a half-bree- d, met them. Van 

Horn told him how twenty men had 

swooped down upon them a few mile 

back and had shot and killed Llttlefield, 

Next morning before the news of Little-field'- s 

death had got Into Covelo, Crow, 

Simmons and Greggory rode into Cove- 

lo and Crow went to Louree's saloon. 

The place was full of Llttleileld's 

friends. Crow ordered a drink and, as 

ho drank, put his back to the bar. As 

he raised tho glass he rulsed his re- 

volver. "Kxeuse me," he said, aa he 

put the empty glass down, "but I was 

afraid some of you fellows might think 

you wanted me." 

Next day tho coroner nnd a Jury, com- 

posed of Llttlefield's enemies, the very 

men of the constable's party, rode up 

to find Llttlefield's body. It was hang- 

ing to a tree, boots and spurs on. The 

verdict was, "Jack Llttlefield was shot 

and put to death on this date." On 

man suggested that they make a box for 

the burial, Greggory mid: "No funeral 

nonsense; hlu!" Greggory pointed 

to several scars en the dead face and 

said: "Do you see those? I did that 

and he carried them to his grave," 

They dug a shallow hole two feet 

deep and tossed the body into it. 

Llttlefield's friends demanded un In- 

vestigation. They rodo up there and, 

Instead of finding traces of twenty men,

HK French foreign 

office has lcccntly 

Issued n. report on 

a socialistic experi- 

ment begun two 

years ngo In Para- 

guay. Tho Para- 

guayan government 

conceded to a col- 

ony of discouraged 

Australians Just 

gone through the 

panic of 1S93 a rich tract of 000 square 

miles on the Itlver Tiblquari upon con- 

dition that within six years 1,200 immi- 

grant families should be settled there, 

sayfl the New York Sun. Colonists pie-sent- 

themselves lit large numbers, 

nnd $150,000 was raised In subscriptions 

of $300 each. Any colonist withdraw- 

ing from tho scheme was to lose all. 

The settlement was baptized In New 

Australia In advance. The colonists 

arrived upon tho giound In September, 

1S93, and found themselves In a wilder- 

ness. Tiblquari pioved to be a miser- 

able llttlo stream, dry half tho year, 

nnd in the wet season navigable only 

iu llntbonts. 

Equality of pay for all was tho prin- 

ciple of the organizitlon, and each was 

to live upon the goods of the commu- 

nity. Tho nbiogation of all authority 

was declared by the constitution ot tho 

colony, but the managers took upon 

themselves 'the right to regulate the 

community and to exclude without the 

formality of n vote drunkards and 

Idlers. They also surrounded them- 

selves with a strong police force. 

Tho colony at once divided Itself Into 

two camps. One supported tho ener- 

getic, though very moderately Intelli- 

gent, old man that made himself mas- 

ter of the colony. The other, made up 

of dissidents, eventually quit the colony 

nnd returned to Villa Klca, the port of 

debarkation. This took eighty-fiv- e per- 

sons from the community. They re- 

ported that mutual fear and incessant 

btrlfo made Now Australia an Inferno 

rather than n paradise. The dissidents 

were on the point of returning to Aus- 

tralia In great distress when the Para-gua- n 

government conceded to them a 

new territory In the department or 

Gonzales. Here they began to prosper, 

though with small regard to the orig- 

inal principles of the colony. 

Meanwhile there had occurred a 

second schism In the colony at New 

Australia. This time the directors 

yielded to the schismatics, and, with 50 

companions, settled in another part of 

the country. What waB left of the orig- 

inal colony was a prey to continual 

bickering, and In September, 1V.M. 

twenty-fiv- e colonists went to lluonnj 

Ayres, where they became a charge 

upon the public charities. Those left 

behind reorganized tho community and 

dropped the socialistic feattires. They 

chose for leaders the men they took to 

be the most Intelligent nnd broad-minde- d, 

nnd settled down with tho de- 

termination to succeed by tho use of 

the best agricultural methods, without 

attempting to present to the world a 

society formed upon tho socialistic 

ideal.

SHE SAVED HER NEW GOWN 

!rrto Mritinrm ltrnnrtril to ljr a 

Valine Wife. 

Dwellers In n certain quiet residence 

street on the north side aro ti 

good story of the dllcmum In which 

one of them, n young wife, found her- 

self not long ngo, and the timing man- 

ner In which she extricated hrrsclf 

therefrom. She has been mnrrled but 

a few mouths, nnd has not jet got over 

the delight of doing most of her own 

housework, her only help being n wo- 

man who comes once or twice n week 

to do the heavy cleaning, washing, etc. 

The other day her dressmaker sent 

home a handsome, nice gown. It was 

a perfect fit, and the young wifo de- 

termined to don It and make a few 

calls. It Is her custom on such occa- 

sions, before dressing, to lock the back 

door, secrete the key on the side parch, 

and leave tho house by tho front door, 

has a spring lock. This she did 

as usual on the day in question, after 

which she the house by tho 

porch door and put tho finishing 

touches to her costume. Arraved In 

the pretty nnd becoming garment nnd 

wearing a jaunty llttlo hat which 

charmlugly set off her general gct-u- p, 

she stepped out of tho fiont door and 

pulled It to behind her, but unfortu- 

nately caught a bunch of her gown 

tho door. With as near nn approach to 

a naughty word as a strictly proper 

young woman generally allows herself 

she gave n smart pull at her gown, but 

found t hat It could not be released un-tor- n. 

The little woman looked despair- 

ingly up nnd down the street for help. 

Not a soul was In sight. A hurried 

glance at her watch showed that It was 

later than she had expected, for Hko 

the daughters of Hve In general she had 

spent moie tims at her toilet than she 

had to spare. 

There was only one thing to do, and 

In an Instant she had made up her 

mind to do It. She proceeded to undo 

the hooks nnd buttons and to get out 

of the dress. Her plan was to hurry 

round to the back door, get the key, 

enter, and, opening the front door from 

within, Fccure the dress. She was Just 

stepping out of the garment when, look- 

ing up, she discovered that tho quiet 

street was livelier than had ever be- 

fore been known In Its history. 

number of women In a house near by 

had suspended their labors and were 

gazing upon the scene: grocery nnd 

milk wagons had stopped In the street. 

and a stra passer-b- y or two were agog 

watching the strange demonstrations 

of tho woman on the front porch. This 

embarrassing situation did not make 

her flnsers any the more nimble, but at 

last the ultimate button was unlosscd 

nnd away she went, a vanishing vision 

In white, around the corner of tho 

house. The gown was released from 

tho grasp of the front door nnd half 

nn hour later, the street having by that 

time resumed Its normal appearance, 

tho young wifo re.ippenrcd more radi- 

ant than ever, and an unusual amount 

of color In her cheeks and an unmis- 

takable

gleam of triumph In her eye. 

Her husband nearly laughed himself 

Into a fit when told by his wife of her 

experience. The story was too good to

The Iown Agricultural Experiment 

Untlon hns Issued n very timely and 

tntunbto bulletin, detailing an experi- 

ment In feeding cotton-scc- d meal to 

hogo. Th? experiment was conducted 

by P:of. Curtlss. In February he se- 

lected fiom n bunch of twenty-llv- o fif- 

teen Poland-China- s, the lot weighing 

1.4S0 pounds. They had nil been 

grown together. They were divided in- 

to five lots of threo pigs each, and 

after two weeks of preliminary feed- 

ing lot 1 was put on n ration of corn 

and cob meal, and buttermilk; lot il, 

corn and cob meal, cotton seed meal 

and buttermilk; lot 3, the si me, except 

that the amount of cottonseed meal 

was double that of lot 2; lot 4. corn and 

cob meal, gliii meal anil butter- 

milk; lot 5, corn nnd cob meal, cut clov- 

er hay and buttermilk. The pigs all 

nindo very rapid gains, those being on 

tho ration of cottonseed with other 

feed making nn average daily cain of 

1.4 pounds. 

The experimenters arrived at tho 

conclusion thnt cottonseed meal Is fa- 

tal to hogs wnen fed In sufilclcnt quan- 

tity, the totnl amount required to prove 

fatal being In this case from 27 to 

33 pounds per hog. Hogs in this ex- 

periment were fed without Injury for 

seventeen weeks following cattle that 

were fed from four to seven pounds of 

cottonseed meal per head dally. 

Cottonseed meal added to n corn nnd 

cob meal ration for hog3 materially 

Increased and cheapened tho gains 

I over corn and cob meal alone. 

Cut clover hay added to ii corn and 

cob meal ration and soaked twelve 

hours before feeding gavo no advan- 

tage In gain over corn and cob meal 

alone. 

n U not llkeiy that much cottonseed 

meal will be fed while corn and wheat 

are so cheap; but the Information 

brought out in this bulletin will bo 

useful In years when tho price of corn 

is high enough to Justify the profita- 

ble Use of cottonseed meal.

In preparing horses for sale, says a 

writer, good conditions make a great 

difference. It should be honestly done; 

end yet, If honestly done, thero Is no 

reason why tho owner of n horse who 

desires to sell It should not put It In 

the shape that best meets tho demands

ties, and that is not mere blubber of 

fat, Injurious to tho wind and endur- 

ance of the animal. 

For this purposo many horsemen use 

modcrato quanltles of flaxseed Jelly: 

somo employ steamed oil meal. If 

moderately fed, these assist In diges- 

tion nnd keep tho bowels In good con- 

dition, putting on a glossy coat, while, 

when moderately fed. oil meal adds 

in the formation of fat. It. of Itself, 

is a muscle making feed. Many a hard 

working horse would bo all tho better 

lor a handful of oil meal at night. 

even whero there Is no intention of 

putting him in sale condition. By Ju- 

dicious individual feeding of goofl 

grain, with oil meal, a bunch of horses, 

even when bomewhat run down, can 

oo put in sale condition in from bix to 

eight weeks. Thero is not much use 

in trying to get a Kood nrlce for these 

horses, nor Is thero much business 

tense In letting them go for what thoy 

will bring, letting somebody el&o make 

the profit that can be made out of them 

by simply putting on another hundred 

pounds or so of llesh. tx.

To test the relatlvo merits of crushed 

vs. whole oats In feeding horses, oao 

of tho great London omnibus compa- 

nies semo ear-- s ago conducted an In- 

teresting expel Iment, says tho Farm- 

er's Advocate. Of the C.000 horses in 

the company's employment, one-half 

were fed on crushed oats and cut bay 

nnd straw and tbe other half on wholo 

oats nnd hay. Tho ration allowed per 

day to eaci. borse, according to the 

ono system, wa Crushed oats, 10 lbs.; 

cut hay, Vt lbs.; C"t straw, 2' lbs. 

Tho quantity according o the old sys- 

tem was: Wholo oats, 19 lbs.; uncut 

hay, 13 lbs. A daily saving cr Z Jba 

of food was thus effected, and this tak- 

ing waa not merely In the quantity, but 

In the value of the materials employed, 

for Btraw In tho former case was sub 

Btuuteu ior nay i the latter. Tho nd 

?'nnlaj0 of on? k,na of feeding over 

the other was far more apparent when 

reduced to money value. Tho saving 

by using tho crushed oats and cut hay 

was nearly 2d per day for each horse 

which was equal to CC2 10s per day for 

the C.000 horses. And this saving was 

accomplished without any cacrlflco 

whatever, for all tho drivers nnd thoso 

having chargo of tho horses agreed 

that tho difference in the horses was 

decidedly In favor of those fed oa 

crushed oats and cut hay and straw. 

Rich Eggs. Fggs from hens that aro 

fed largely on slops and refuse aro not 

ns good for cooking purposes ac .hoso 

which aro laid by hens having a liberal 

ration of corn or wheat, v, 

News, and of tho two corn makes tho 

richest egg. as It adds to the fat con-ten- ts 

and gives the contents of tho 

shell a consistency that makes It sno-clal- ly 

valuable for baking and kindred 

uecs. A meat ration also adds to tho 

valun of tho eggs, and it Is becnuso 

ducks aro such ravenous hunters of 

frogs nnd tho many Insects on land and 

water that their egSs aro preferred to 

nil others by bakers and confectioners 

Guinea eggs are specially rich In this 

quality, and are better for baking and 

making Icing than those of almost any 

other fowl. The production of good 

eggs Is a comparatively new idea and 

it has not been discussed half as much 

aa its merits deserve that it should be.

CHAPTER XIV. ICoNTINfcn. 

He made a sltn to Johnxtone, who 

tiok Dlfk In his arms nnd swung him 

lightly down the compnnlon-hntc- h like 

a bundle of hammock. In two min- 

ute he was In his old neat at the end 

of the table in the saloon, with his 

ankles fast to the chair, which In Its 

turn was screwed Into the lloor. For 

a line time he did not move, lie had 

llt'le hope left now, but he steeled lilm-5-- 1' 

i j wait with patience. If any un-- f 

in-e- chance might yet Klve him Ids 

opportunity. The sunset gun was heard 

fr m the shore: it grew rapidly dark. 

Jj, nt ne entered to light the lamp; 

In li.s hand was a heavy iron capstan 

liar 

lie l.ild It down upon the table, with 

the 1' tt;r beside it. 

There's your choice," he said, 

"All ilghti" said Dick, stoutly "I'm 

realy but you'll all bo, too. my man; 

y u'r.' lost without me." 

J ihnstone laughed brutally. 

'Don't you flatter yourself," he said. 

"Dead or alive, you'll do our business 

f jr us." 

Dick was silent. 

Look you here," said the other, "this 

J the way of It, nnd If you don't un- 

derstand It now, you'll never have the

letter written to him asking leave to

Ml I'Vaps the admiral would let us 

bury him ashore tomorrow?" So either 

way we stand to win easy, d'ye see?" 

He did indeed sec. and that wltn a 

supreme anguish of bitterness. Jsot 

een by death was he to thwart them, 

r c'.ear his own name from dishonor. 

Hut ids conscience was without re- 

proach, nnd Camilla knew the truth: 

on these two thoughts he anchored him- 

self to meet the fury of his last Htorm. 

The moments fled. The colonel called 

Jjwn the hatchway that the boat had 

left the flag-shi- Camilla heard him 

Khout. and fell upon r.er knees beside 

a pinhole, gasping for air. 

A second time that Inexorable calm 

vol'v came down to the deck beIo. 

ffjhnstone took the Iron bar In his hand 

Th- - boat came alongside, and an of-- 

ft voice shouted close to CamllH 

tainting head: "Hrl!; ahoy! Throw us 

a r pe there!" 

Dimly, as one In a dream of horror. 

siie heard the colonel's answer. 

""You needn't trouble to come on 

I iard," he called down. In his smooth 

est t nss. "This is the Seedwell, Cap- - 

tain Kstcourt. He Is an old friend of 

Adir.lr.il Malcolm and is Just writing 

t j him for leave to anchor. Johnitone!" 

h" fchouted, louder still, "ask the cap- 

tain If ids letter's re.tay." 

"Do you hear?" said Johnstone, bal- 

ancing the bar in both Ills hands. 

"There's the last signal. Now then-o- ne" 

The clear voice of the officer outside 

rang through the ship and drowned his 

words. 

"Estcourt!" It cried. "I'ass in, pass 

In! The Emperor's dead!" 

CHAITKIl XV. 

ILU.NCE followed 

the words, that 

.!' seemed as If It 

would last forever. 

r jf JUFk 1 It was as though 

WrinU C iWf that cry had 

s.'yysy sr stunned at one blow 

all on board the 

brig. 

At last the iron 

bar fell clanging 

frrqi Johnstone's 

hands upon the 

floor of the saloon, and Dick sprang up. 

struggling llercely in his fetters. 

"Camilla! Camilla!" he shouted. Sh 

beard his voice and awoke to life again, 

'trembling In every limb. 

"Off with these things!" he thundered. 

And Johnstone unlocked the Irons with- 

out a word. 

Dick took them In his bund and ran 

up the ladder. The lieutenant from the 

llag.shlp was In the act of springing 

on board. "Where Is Captain Est-cour- tr' 

he cried. "Are you ail asleep 

here?" 

The colonel glided before him, and 

lowered his voice to speak to Dick. 

"We are nil In your nands," lie said, 

hastily; "Camilla too, remember, 

among the rest." 

"No!" returned Dick, triumphantly.

"Estcourt," he asked, "have you for-'gott- 

me?" 

"Not I, Wllmorel" cried Dick; "and 

J never shall, though I live to be a thou-aand- !" 

"Well said!" laughed the other. "Hut 

why am I so desperately In demand?" 

"Why, you'r In the nick of time. I 

was sborlhanded till you came, and 

Tve a pair of mutineers on board." 

"lllaht said Wllmore, And he called 

over the aide: "Bend three men aboard

The colonel made a rush tor tno main

him over to the men from the llag-shl-

the position of nffalrs. 

Dick went up to him. "Here he Is!" 

he cried. "Johnstone, you're my prls-oner- !" 

Johnstone's right hand went swiftly 

to his pocket, but before he could grasp 

his pistol Dick's fist shot home be- 

tween his eyes, and he fell like a log. 

disappearing backward down the open 

hatchway. 

Two of the men-of-war- 's men ran 

down, nnd found him motionless at thi 

bottom of the ladder: they brought him 

on deck, and got n rope to secure him 

when he should come round. 

Hut ho never moved again; the fall 

broken his neck. 

"Well." said Dick, when they told him. 

"that seems only Just; he was the bet- 

ter of two bad men, and his punish- 

ment's the soonest over. As for the 

other," he continued, turning to Wlt-mor- e, 

"a quick death's too good fur Mm, 

and no prison would hold him long." 

He reflected a moment, and then 

turned to the capllvo and Iitr. guards. 

"Ilrlng him below," he paid, and lei 

the way to the siloon. 

In Dick's own Heat they placed the 

colonel, with Dick's own Irons upon 

him. and In his nand they made him 

take the pen with which ho had com- 

manded Dick to sign away his honor. 

"Now, If you will please leave u.s 

alone together," salil Dick to the oth- 

ers, "I dare say I shall soon have done 

with him." 

They went out wondering, and he 

turned to the prisoner. 

"Write the date," he said, shortly: 

"and now go on as I dictate to you: 

"'I hereby Acknowledge and confess 

that I conspired with one Herman 

Johnstone, since deceased, to effect the 

escape of the Emperor Naoleon from 

the Island of St. Helena on the uth of

The colonel stopped. "Hut .hat is not 

the truth," he objected. 

"Truth!" said Dick, scornfully: "what 

Is truth t'i you? Write as I tell you. 

j very word! And wait before you sign. 

he ndjed: "we want a witness whoti 

your slanders can not touch. Wll-more- 

he; called, and the lieutenant 

entered. 

The sli'nlng and witnessing done, 

Dick folded the paper nd laid it again 

before thn colonel. 

"Address It," he said, "to the Minis- 

ter of Justice at Paris." 

The colcnel started nnd drew back. 

"Deal gently with me." he said. In a 

low voice; "courage and mercy should 

Bo together. 

"Courage and mercy," replied Dick, 

"are no cf.ncern of yours; your province 

Is obedle ice. and. If you can manage 

it, a llttlj decent shame." 

The adr.ress was written. 

"And row," aald Dick, "after writ 

inri that letter, you win. I think, see 

I that It we uld never suit )our health to 

live in Kiigland or France again. To

"rihall I take him at once?" askod 

Wllmore. 

The coloi il was In despair. 

"An exile ?,nd a beggar! Death would

Besturo whi h was a really fine piece 

of acting, nnJ went to Wllmore's heart 

Hut Dick Miew his man better. 

"All right.' he said, gravely; "you 

have your cljilce. 

And he to.k the Iron bar from the 

floor where J ihnstone had left it, and 

raised It above the colonel's head. 

The actor's collapse was swift and 

lamentable. 

"Hold him!" he cried to Wilmoro; 

"for God's saki hold him. He Is call 

able of anything.' 

"I begin to O.Ink so," said Dick, low 

ering his weapoj, "since I have learned 

to outwit you." 

"Well, then," said Wllmore. holding 

out his hand ti Dick, "good-b- y until 

tomorrow." 

"Yen." said Dick, "I'll thank you 

then. Good-by.- " 

The colonel was taken on deck again, 

and lowered Into the boat. 

As they left tne ship's side, he saw. 

or thought he sair, a white figure lean 

ing over the bulwarks. 

"Camilla!" he cried. "Is that you, 

Camilla?" 

Hut there was no reply. The boat 

shot forward, tand the Hpeedwell van- 

ished from him into the darkness. 

Dick turned to look for Camilla; she 

was gone, and he would not follow her 

now, for he remembered what the Em- 

peror's death must mean to her. 

The brig was moving slowly In to- 

ward the harbor xulded by the Hkhts

vl: 17, "And the Lord opened the eyes

and chariots of fire round about Ellshn. ' 

The American confess Is assem-

this beloved land. Let us welcome 

them wltli prayers and benedictions. 

A nobler group of men never entered 

Washington than those who will to- 

morrow take their places In the senate 

chamber nnd tho house of repiesenta-tlves- . 

Whether they como alone, or 

leave their families at tho homestead 

far away, may the blessing of the 

Eternal God bo upon them' Wo invite 

them to our churches, and together, 

they In political spheres, and we in re- 

ligious circles, will give the coming 

months to consideration of the best In- 

terests of this country which God has 

blessed so much In the past that I 

piopase to show you and show them 

so far as I may now reach their car, or 

their eye through the print- 

ing press, that God will be with them 

to help them ns In the text he filled the 

mountains with help for Kllsha. 

As It cost England many regiments 

anil two million dollars a year to keep 

safely a troublesome captive at St. 

Helena, so tho king of Syria sends out 

a whole army to capture one minister 

of religion perhaps 50.000 men to 

take Ellsha. During the night the army 

of Syrians came around the village of 

Dothan where the prophet was stay- 

ing. At eirly daybreak the man-cer-va- nt 

of Ellsha rushed in and said: 

"What shall we do? there is a whole 

army como to destroy you! We must 

die! We must die!" Hut Ellsha was 

not scared a bit, for he looked up and 

saw the mountains all around full of 

supernatural forces, and he knew that 

If there were 50,000 Syrians against him 

there were 100,000 angels for him; and 

in answer to the prophet's prayer In 

behalf of his affrighted man-servan- t, 

the young man saw It too. Horses of 

fire harnesed to chariots of fire, and 

drivers of fire pulling reins of fire on 

bits of fire, and warriors of fire with 

brandished swords of fire, and the bril- 

liance of that morning sunrise wai 

eclipsed by tho galloping splendors of 

tho celestial cavalcade. "And the Lord 

opened tho eyes of the young man; and 

ho saw: and behold the mountain was 

full of horses and chariots of fire round 

about Ellsha." I speak of tho upper 

forces of the text that arc to fight on 

our side as a nation. If all the low levels 

ars filled with armed threats, I have to 

tell you that the mountains of our hope 

and courage and faith arc full of the 

horses and chariot; of Dlvlno rescue. 

You will notice that the Divine equip- 

age is always represented as a chariot 

of fire. Ezcklel nnd Isaiah and John, 

when they corr.o to describe the Divine 

equipage always represent It ns e 

wheeled, a harnefsed, an upholstered 

conflagration. It is not a chariot like 

kings and conquerors of earth mount, 

but an organized and compressed fire. 

That means purity, Justice, chastise- 

ment, deliverance through burning es- 

capes. Chariot of rescue? yes, but a 

chariot of fire. All our national discn-thralmcn- ts 

have been through scorch- 

ing agonies and red disasters. Through 

tribulation the Individual rises. 

Through tribulation nations rite. 

Chariots of rescue, but chariots of fire. 

Hut bow do I know that this Divine 

equipage is on the side of our Institu- 

tions? I know It by tho history of the 

last one hundred and nineteen years. 

The American revolution started from 

the pen of James Hancock In Inde- 

pendence hall In 1770. Tho colonies, 

without ships, without ammunition, 

without guns, without trained warriors, 

without money, without prestige. On 

the other side, the mightiest nation of 

the earth, the largest armies, the grand- 

est navies, and the most distinguished 

commanders, and resources Inexhausti- 

ble, and nearly all nations ready to back 

them up in the fight. Nothing, as 

against immensity. 

The cause of tho American colonics, 

which started at zero, dropped still 

lower through tho quarreling of tho 

generals, and through tho Jealousies at 

small successes, and through the win- 

ters which surpassed all predecessors 

In depth of snow and horrors of con- 

cealment. Ellsha surrounded by tho 

photo Syrian army did not seem to bo 

worso off than did tho thirteen colonk'3 

encompassed and overshadowed by 

foreign assault. What decided the con- 

test In our favor? Tho upper forces, 

the upper armies. The Green and 

White mountains of New England, the 

highlands along the Hudson, tho moun- 

tains of Virginia, all tho Appalachian 

ranges were full of reinforcements 

which the young roan Washington saw 

by faith; and hit men endured tb9 

frozen feet, and the gangrened wounds, 

and the exhausting hungc., and the 

long march, because "the Iord opened 

the eye. of the young man; and he saw: 

and behold, the mountains were full of 

borsea and chariot, of fire round about 

Ellsha." Washington himself was a 

miracle. What Joshua wa. in sacred 

history, the first American president 

was in secular history. A thousand 

other men excelled blm In different 

tblaXs, but be excelled tbem all la 

rovadBSM and completeness of charac- 

ter. The world sever saw bis like, 

aid probably sever will see his like 

sgsla, because there probab'y neer 

will be suck aa exigency. He was let 

dowa a Divlae Interposition. He was 

from 04 direct. 

I 4e set knew bow mny eaa rese 

the history of these times without ad- 

mitting the SMtest w decided by the 

upper feme. Then, la 1M1, wbea mu 

efvll war eeeaed, msay at the Nertfe 

and at Ike ietfefc prawnsi ft JMtlM- - 

al suicide. It was not courage agnlnst 

cowardice, It was not wealth against 

poverty, It was not large states against 

small states. It was lnroim against 

heroism, It was the resoii-e- of many 

generations ngalnst tin of 

generations, It was the piayer of the 

North against the prayer of the South. 

It was one,-half of tho nation In armed 

wrath, mooting the otlur half of the 

nation In nrmed Imllgnntlon. What 

could como but extermination? 

At tlio opening of the war the 

of the fulled states 

forces was n man who had been great 

In battle, but old ago had come, with 

many Infirmities, and 1 e had n rii;ht 

to quietude. Ho could not mount a 

horse and he rode on thr battle-fiel- d In 

n carriage, asking tho driver not to Jolt 

It too much. During the most of the 

four years of the contest , on the South- 

ern side, was n man In mUl-Mf- c, who 

had In his veins tho blood of many 

generations of warriors himself one of 

the heroes of tho Cherubusco and Ccrro 

Gordo, Contrerns nnd Cunpiiltepec. A 

tho jcars passed on nnd the scroll of 

carnago unrolled there came out from 

both sides a heroism and a strength 

and a determination that the world nnd 

never seen marshaled. And what but 

extermination could come when I'hlllp 

Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson1 met 

and Nathaniel Lon and Sydney John- 

son rode In from tho North and South, 

and Grant and Lee, tho two thunder- 

bolts of battle, clashed? Yet, v.o are a 

nation, and yet we aic at peace. Earth- 

ly courago did not decide tho conflict. 

The upper forces of the text. They tell 

us there was a battle fought above the 

clouds on Lookout mountain; but there 

was something higher than that. 

Again the horses and chariots of God 

came to the rescue of the nation In 1&7C 

at the close of the presidential election 

famous for ferocity. A darker cloud 

yet settled down upon this nation. The 

result of the election was In dispute, 

and revolution, not between two or 

three sections, but revolution In every 

town and village and city of the United 

States seemed Imminent. The pros- 

pect was that New York would throttle 

New York, and New Orleans would grip 

New Orleans, and Hoston, Boston, and 

Savannah, Savnnnah, and Washington, 

Washington. Some said Mr. Tllden was 

elected; others said Mr. Hayes was 

elected; and how near we came to uni- 

versal massacre, some of us guessed, 

but only God knew. I ascribe our es- 

cape not to the honesty and rlghteous-nes1- ? 

of Infuriated politicians, but I as- 

cribe it to tho upper forces of the text. 

Chariots of mercy rolled In, and though 

the wheels were not heard, and the 

Hash was not seen, yet all through tho 

mountains of the North and the South 

and the East and the West, though tho 

hoofs did not clatter, the cavalry of 

God galloped by. 1 tell ou God Is tho 

friend of this nation. In the awful ex- 

citement at the massacre of Lincoln, 

when there was a prospect that great- 

er slaughter would open upon this na- 

tion, God hushed the tempest, lu the 

awful excitement at the time of Gar- 

field's assassination, God put his foot 

on the neck of the cyclone. To prove 

God Is on tho side of this nation I arguo 

from the last eight or nine great na- 

tional harvests, and from the national 

health of the last quarter of a century, 

epidemics very exceptional, and from 

the great revivals of religion, nnd from 

the spreading of the Church of God, 

and fiom tho continent blossoming with 

asylums and. reformatory Institutions, 

and from the Edenlzatlon which prom- 

ises that this whole land Ic to he a 

paradise where Gol shall walk. 

I am encouraged more than I can 

tell you as I see the regiments wheeling 

down the sky, and my Jeremiads turn 

Into doxologlcj., and that which was tho 

Good Friday of the nation's cruclllxlon 

becomes tho EaMer mora of its res- 

urrection. Of course. God works 

through human instrumentalities, and 

this national betterment Is to come 

nmong other things through a scrutin- 

ized ballot box. By tho law of registra- 

tion it is almost Impossible now to 

have illegal voting. There was a time 

you and I remember it very well-w- hen 

droves of vagabonds wan- 

dered up and down on elec- 

tion day and from poll to 

poll, and voted here, and voted there, 

and voted everywhere, and thero waa 

no challenge; or. If there were, it 

amounted to nothing, because nothing 

could so suddenly be proved upon the 

vagabonds. Now, In every 

neighborhood, "every voter is 

watched with severest scrutiny. If I 

am in a region where I nm allowed a 

vote, I must tell the registrar my name, 

and how old I am, and how long I have 

resided in tho state, and how long I 

havo rcsidod in the wnrd or tho town-chi- p, 

and If I misrepresent, fifty wit- 

nesses will rise and shut me out from 

the ballot-bo- x. Is not that a great 

And then notice the law that 

prohibits a man voting it ho has bet on 

the election. A step further needs to 

be taken, and that man forbidden a 

voto who has offered or taken a bribe. 

whether it bo in tho shape of a frco 

drink, or cash paid down, tho suspicious 

cases obliged to put their hand on tho 

Dlblo and swear their vote In if they 

vote at all. So, through tho bacred 

chest of our nation's suffrage, redemp- 

tion will come. 

God will savo this nation through an 

aroused moral sentiment. Thero has 

never been o much discussion of 

morals and Inimorals. Men, whether or 

not they acknowledge what is right, 

havo to think what Is right. Wo havo 

men who havo had their hands in the 

public treasury tho most of their life- 

time, stealing all they could lay their 

hands on, discoursing eloquently about 

dishonesty In public servants; and men 

with two or threo families of their own, 

preaching eloquently about tho beauties 

of tho seventh commandment. Tho 

question of sobriety and drunkenness 

I i thrust In tho face of this nation as 

never before, and takes a part in our 

political contests. The question of na- 

tional sobriety is going to be respect- 

fully and deferentially heard at the bar 

of every Legislature, and every House 

of Representatives, and every Stale 

Senate; and au omnipotent voice will 

ring down tho sky and across this land 

and back agalu, saying to these rising 

tides at drunkenness which threaten to 

whelm home and church and nation: 

"Thus far sbalt thou come, but no 

further, and here shell thy proud waves 

be stayed." 

' I have not la my attnd a shadow of 

dlefceartment as largo as the shadow of 

a fcaa fly's wing. My faltb. is la tho 

ueasr forces, the upper armies of the 

teat. 0od is net dead. The erarlets 

are aV unwbeetod. If you would only 

9Hf were, osa wash your eyes la the 

cool, Utght water fresh from the well 

of Christian reform, It would ho said of 

you, nH of this one of tho text: "Tho 

Lord opened tho eyes of tho young man, 

nnd ho saw; and behold tho mountain 

w.is full of horses and chariots of Ilro 

round nboiit Ellsha." 

When tho army of Antlgnnus went 

Into ba'tle Iili Boldlers wcro very imirh 

discouraged, nnd they rushed up to the 

(leiieral nnd unld to him: "Don't you 

Bre we hno n few forces, and they havo 

bo many more?" and the (soldiers wero 

affrighted nt tho smnlhipss of their 

number anil the greatness of the nemy. 

Antigonu their commander, straight- - 

cued nself up nnd said, with mdlgna- - 

tlon and vehement c: "How ninny do 

you reckon me to be?" And when 

wo foo tho vast armies nrrayfd against 

tho cause of sobriety It may sometimes 

bo very discounting, but I nsl: you In 

making up our estimate, of tho forces 

of righteousness 1 nsk you how many 

do j on teckon tho Lord God Almighty 

to be? He Is our commander. Tho 

Lord of Hosts Is his name. I havo the 

best authority for saying that tho 

chariots of God are twenty 

thousand nd tho mountains are full of 

them. 

Havo you any doubt about the need 

of tho Christian religion to purify and 

make decent American polities? At 

every yearly or quadrennial election wo 

havo In this country great manufa- 

ctoriesmanufactories of Ilea; nnd they 

are run day and night, and they turn 

out half a dozen a day, all equipped nnd 

ready for full sailing. Large ll"s anil

Jumping lies and soaring lies. Lies

1 confess, I am ashamed to havo a for- - 

elgner visit this country in such times, 

I should think he would stand dazed, 

his hand on his pocket-boo- k, and darn ' 

not go out nights. What will the bun- - 

dreds of thousands of foreigners who 

como hero to live think of us? What a 

disgust they must have for tho land of 

their adoption! The only good thing 

about It is, many of them cannot under- 

stand the English language. But I sup- 

pose the German and Italian and Swed- 

ish and French j. ipers translate It all, 

and peddle out tho infernal stulf to the 

subscribers. 

Nothing but Christianity will ever 

stop such a Hood of indecency. The 

Christian religion will speak after 

awhile. The billingsgate and low scan- 

dal through which w wade every year 

or every four years must hu rebuked 

by that religion which speaks from Its 

two great mountains, from the one 

mountain intoning tho command, 

"Thou shalt not bear falso witness 

against thy neighbor," and from tho 

other mount making plea for kindness 

and blessing rather than cursing. Yes. 

wo are going to have a national reli- 

gion. There a'ro two kinds of national 

religion. Tho one Is supported by tho 

state, and Is a matter of human politics, 

and it has great patronage, and under it 

men will struggle for prominence with

people, or twenty people, or ten, or two. 

We want no such religion as that, no 

such national religion: but we want 

this kind of national religion tho vast 

majority of the people converted and 

evangelized, and then they will man- 

age tho secular as well as the religious. 

Do you say that this Is Impracticable? 

No. The tlmo la coming just as cer- 

tainly as thero is a Cod, and that this

llntr to Himn t tit- - Truth. 

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and 

a light unto my path. Psalm 119:103. 

The man who can got nothing out of 

tho Bible has never honestly tried to. 

Tho probabilities nro that ho nover 

made a careful study of a single chapter 

of It. He has picked it up now nnd then 

perhaps, and read a few verses at ran- 

dom, but he has nover earnestly tried 

to find out what la In It. The truth Is 

that ho doesn't want to understand It. 

or ho would find a key to unlock It. 

Men do not understand books on math- 

ematics, or music, or medicine, or as- 

tronomy, or anything elso that deals 

with truth, until they get in earnest 

about It, nnd set about It In (he right 

way. No man will have any trouble 

about understanding ns much of tho 

Illblo as ho needs to know, when ho be- 

comes willing to live ns it tells him to. 

It will becomo a lamp to guide tho feet 

of every man who will walk In Its light, 

but to thoso who nro determined to 

follow tholr own courso It will be dark-net- s. 

This fact wa3 sjmbollzed In tLo 

pillar of cloud which led tho Israelites. 

It gave them light, but to their enemies 

It was darkness. When you find a man 

who is keeping out of tho church on tho 

plea that he cannot understand tho 

Bible, you may know that it Is because 

he is holding on to things that the 

scriptures condemn. Whoever will 

bring his llfo Into lino with tho Illblo 

will soon find out that It Is God's book. 

"Every one that doeth evil hatoth tho 

light."

oi least an opportunity of rendering 

sober Judgment after tho lapse of nearly 

ono hundred years. 

That tho two men were bitter politi- 

cal rivals rnd pursued each other re- 

lentlessly for many years previous to 

the filial act In the drama Is a point es- 

tablished beyond reasonable discission.

ALEXANDHn HAMILTON. 

The American of today, however, Is apt 

to take the view that Alexander Ham 

ilton was the martyr who willingly im- 

molated himself on the altar of his 

country, while Burr was tho selfish po- 

litical schemer who was willing to adopt 

any unscrupulous means by which he 

might hope to get his hated rival out of 

the way. 

Two things Hamilton knew when ho 

crossed the Hudson from his beautiful 

home rn Washington Heights on that 

fateful summer morning. These wr, 

-- a 

that his antagonist thirsted for his 

blood, and also that the bullet of Aaron 

Burr had seldom missed Its aim. This 

knowledge would almost Justify the be- 

lief that Hamilton deliberately went to 

the field prepared to kill Burr, and thus 

rid the Infant republic of the man 

whom he considered Its most danger- 

ous foe, or be killed himself, knowing 

that In that event the narao of Bun- - 

WOuld bo forever execrated, that the act 

.., .,.,. Mj ni,tini i(im, rr. 

over, and that the greatest good to the 

greaust number of his countrymen 

would he accomplished In either event. 

The duel itself occurred, as I havo 

said, on the morning of July 11, at 

about 7 o'clock. Both principals, with 

their seconds and surgeons, rowed 

across the Hudson, tho Burr party 

reaching the field first. Burr, according 

to all accounts, seemed to be In a blood- 

thirsty frame of mind, while tho de- 

meanor of Alexander Hamilton Is de- 

scribed as dignified and almost mourn- 

ful. Tho distance was ten paces. Choice 

of pobltlon and the giving of the wc-n- l 

both considered by follower of tho 

code as distinct advantages fell by lot 

to Hamilton's seconds. The word was 

"Present!" Both parties fired in succes- 

sion, with an interval between, about 

tho exact time of which thero was a 

dlsputo among the seconds. 

Hamilton fell almost instantly, and it 

is told of Burr that ho advanced to tho 

side of his mortally wounded rival with 

an expression of melancholy on his face, 

but that ho suddenly withdrew In si- 

lence and was hurried from the field 

by his seconds. Van Ness, who was tho 

closest friend of Burr in this affair, and 

knowing that his pricclpal must 11y 

for his life, led tho way to the boat by 

a devious route in order to avoid recog- 

nition by tho surgeon and rowers of tho 

Hamilton barge, which ho saw ap- 

proaching through tho trees. Dr. H03-ac- k 

and Mr. Pendleton lifted the wound- - 

mmW.1 fal 

MRS. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, 

cd statesman and bore him to the boat, 

In which he was conveyed to his home 

across the river, where he was attended 

not only by his own surgeons but by ex- 

pert specialists In gunshot wounds who 

were Immediately summoned from the 

French frigates lying In the harbor. 

But human aid was of no avail, aud 

the anguish of bis family was hardly 

less painful to witness that the excru- 

ciating suffering of the dying states- 

man, borne with charactritlc eeurago 

sad forlilude. The deathbed seeae waa 

pathetic to a degree that has bad lew i 

parallels in history. Surrounded by his 

broken-hearte- d wife and seven children, 

with his mind perfectly clear, but be- - 

reft of tho power of speech, tho llfo ot 

tho great American patriot, soldier ami 

statesman the man who led the storm 

oti Yorktotvn's heights, and fought tin 

greatest forensic battles of his time 

slowly ebbed until 2 o'clock on tho fol- 

lowing Thursday afternoon. 

Tho funeral was held at Trinity 

Church on tho following Saturday, it 

was attended by thousands of mourn- 

ers, each countryman of tho dead states 

man nursing In his heart a personal 

and Indignant sorrow. It was a danger- 

ous throng, and If theic lingered among 

those grief-stricke- n thousands a parti- 

san of Aaron Burr, he was wlso enough 

to keep silent. Tho eulogy, a soul-stirri- 

oration, was delivered by Gouvcr-neu- r 

Morris from a platform In front ot 

Trinity Church, on Broadway, at tho 

head of Wall street. Soon after its 

echoes died away, In the eloquent word 

of a fellow-compatrio- t, "a shroud, a cof- 

fin, a narrow subterraneous cabin, was 

all that remained of Alexander Hamil- 

ton'" 

As for Aaron Burr, ho had fled for hh 

llfo on the very day of the duel. Later 

ho was disfranchised by the laws ot 

Now York, and Indicted for murder In 

New Jersey. After that he became an 

Ishmael on the fare of the earth, dying 

on Staten Island when eighty years old, 

frlendleps and almost In want of the 

common necessities of life. 

Hamilton Grange, the home of Al 

exander Hamilton on Washington. 

Heights, still stands unchanged from 

the day that the great statesman 7?as 

carried bleeding and dying across Its 

threshold. The property Is now owned 

by St. Luke's Episcopal Church, which 

It adjoins, on the corner of Convent ave- 

nue and Hist street. Scarcely a stone's 

throw from the portals of this pictur- 

esque old colonial mansion are the thir- 

teen trees planted by the hands of Gen. 

Washington's captain of artillery, each 

one representing one of the thirteen 

original states. Visitors to tho neigh- 

borhood view these old landmarks with 

much Interest, and glance Involuntarily 

down the street, probably U2d, leading 

down to the river over which the sad 

little cortege bearing the dying form of 

the most prominent political leader of 

his time v.ound its way on that luck- 

less July morning. 

Strange to say, tho old Jumel man 

sion is not far away. Two years before 

his death, Aaron Birr, who was the 

third of thl3 country, 

who was tried for treason, and who 

came near going down into history by 

the side of Benedict Arnold, married 

Madame Jumel, who soon obtained a 

separation from him. 

Hevlewing the whole matter, one can 

hardly fall to recall tho slow grinding 

of tho:e mills of the gods that brings 

suro retribution at last. 

Burr left no monuments. Though a 

man of transcendent genius, thero are 

few who care to remember him. Ham- 

ilton left enduring footprints on tho 

ands of time. The latest evidence of 

the loving remembrance in which he is 

held In the hearts of his countrymen 

Is the beautiful statue which stands In 

front of the famous Hamilton Club In

Why li rnni lllchrr. , 

Detective Abraham Anthony mounted 

an Italian bootblack's stand on Larkln 

street yesterday and had a polish put 

on his big shoes. 

"Then cents, pllz," said tho bootblack, 

as Anthony offered n nlckle. 

"Why, you Just charged tho other 

man a nlckle," declared Anthony. 

"Yes, your boota 10 cent." 

Anthony suspected that it was the 

difference In the size that increased 

the cost, but he was determined to 

know the truth. 

"Why do you chargo mo more than 

you do himt" 

Tho bootblack pointed to a placard 

which rend: "Shine 5 cents; holidays 

10 cents." 

"Thlsa your New Year; thlsa nota 

utta man New Year," he explained. 

"Oh um yes; that's all right," and 

Anthony paid the intelligent bootblaok 

the dime without furtner questioning.

Women who find linen collars chafe 

and Irritate tho skin of their necks are 

now wearing with the Norfolk Jackets 

and open collars of their cloth costumes 

tho whito pique stocks. These stocks 

are nothing more nor less than an 

extra long four-in-han- d, which la put 

twice around the neck before being-tied- . 

There is a little knack in tying 

them, which at first is difficult, but 

when conquered gives delightful re 

suits and is vastly moro comfortable 

than a stiff, high collar and tie. White 

ties are the best for this style, as the 

white against the neck Is more becom- 

ing than the dark colors.

T.. King wears earrings. They aro

al ai.rnmcnts of solid gold. His royal 

aac '..rs all wore gold earrings, too. 

His majesty lives in a big stono nnd 

M'lve brick palace tho only structure 

of the kind in the kingdom. Ills Royal 

Highness sleeps on tho floor. 

The King Is several times a million- 

aire, and it Is believed that he has sev- 

eral barrels ot gold dust and nuggets. 

Ashantce is rich in gold. 

King Prempeh is a bloodthirsty mon- 

arch and he Is In tho habit ot making 

human sacrifices on a wholesalo scale. 

Whenever it pleases him to do so he 

orders a few hundred subjects to be be- 

headed. Besides this, during certain 

ullglous ceremonies. It is customary to 

kill subjects. It is this practice which 

Egland wants tho King to stop. And 

U Is to put an end to these human sac-rlSc- cs 

that the Drltlsh troops will wado 

Ir.ta the forest nnd make war on tho J 

Klcg. 

It Is Just twenty-on- o years since tho 

British government appropriated 00 

to send out nn expedition to 

bring the King ot Ashanteo to terms, 

ud before the expedition got back, af- 

ter burning Cooraassie, his capital, It 

had cost as much more. 

The English troops under Sir Garnet 

Wolseley remained only two days In the 

capital ot Ashantee. Before they left 

the savage potentate agreed to do cer- 

tain things. That waa King Koftee. 

His successor, the present King ot 

Ashantee, King Prempeb, has not ful- 

filled these,conditlons. 

TurniiiK aside from the complications 

of the Eastern question, the dispute 

about Venezuela and the row With Rus- 

sia over China, the British government 

sent an ultimatum to the King ot 

Ashantee. They gave kirn until Oct. 31. 

But this savage monarch waa not

opinion on tho Gold Const ho will net 

It. Tho King, at tho tlmo tho Drltlsh 

Commissioner left Coomnsslc, appeared 

be preparing for war. 

Tho terms of tho ultimatum were 

that he should have a Drltlsh Commis- 

sioner In his country, and that ho should 

place Ashanteo under tho "protection" 

Great Hrltnln. This burly negro, 

ho hn3 3,33.1 wives and orders people's 

heads to be cut off If his breakfast dis-

THE KING OF ASHANTEE. 

are all born flghtrs, who would rather 

fight than cat. 

He Is an absoluto despot. The King 

of Ashanteo could give points In despot-Is- m 

to tho Sultan of Turkey and the 

Czar of Ilusbla. If the Czar were to do 

the things which the King of Ashantee 

thinks nothing of doing tliero would be 

a vacancy In tho Winter Palace. 

If any man looks one of his 3,333 

wives that man's nnmo is Dennis. Sonn 

of these numerous wives of the King of 

Ashantee are not worth looking nt. It Is 

true, but tho owner of any profane eyes 

that even by acldent happened to rest 

upon them would be conducted to n 

shady grove In the neighborhood of tho 

town and fall to return. 

When ono king dies 2,000 people aro 

killed as a guard ot honor to accompany 

him, to tho other world. As many as 

10,000 arc reported to have been killed 

on ono occasion In a single day. 

Upon every national festival iOa lso 

the custom for tho King of Ashantee to 

offer human sacrifices. People aro be- 

lieved to bo killed almost every day nt 

Coomassle, tho capital, and this kind of 

official murder Is a regular thing.

Dob, the blind dog that tins been at-

Drlghton, S. I., for tho last four jcars, 

has disappeared, and now thtro Is gloom 

In the police circles of West Drlghton. 

An Interloper cat la nsponslblo for his 

absence. 

Four jcars ago ho turned up In tho 

pollco station, half starved, and a 

named Dob fed him nnd gave 

him a name, and under this treatment 

the dog came out wonderfully. Ho was 

of a very mixed breed, common cur 

,v 

at 

blood predominating, and his coat was 

a mixture of white and yellow, ar- 

ranged after nn Indcscrlbnblo ornery 

pattern. This was when the police sta- 

tion was In the old haunted house and 

when at 2 o'clock the spook made Its 

Irregular appearance, Dob was tho 

worst frightened Inmate o! tho station. 

He alwajs, after his first ghostly experi- 

ence, ran out Into the street, and It 

took great coaxing to Induce him to re- 

turn. He had a habit of assisting the 

sergeant to turn out tho quad of po- 

lice every morning ijt C o'clock. He 

stood nt tho head of the column, and 

when the command "March!" was given 

ho gave two sharp yctps. Then he went 

across the street and lslted the 

liutcher, who happened to be the fnther 

of policeman Dob. and there ho stayed 

until tlmo to turn out another squad 

of police, at C o'clock In the evening. 

Then, until next morning, ho was tho 

guardian of the station. He becamo 

blind three years ago by a cataract 

forming over his ojes. He had already 

become very familiar with the station 

and Its surroundings, however, and his 

blindness did not embarrass him to any

tho abandonment of rcclstratlon on the 

ground that it was "fruitful onl of

The remedy Is very simple. The gov -- 

crnment ought to grant compensation 

for registered letters lost or destrojed.

"not In consequence of legal reliability, 

but voluntarily and as an at: of grace." 

Registration of money or Jewelry Is

The Drltlsh government pays up to tlo 

for the value of any ordinary unregis- 

tered package that Is lest in its mall 

service. This applies only in the Unit- 

ed Kingdom, ami It does not govern at 

all If the parcel is Improperly wrapped 

or contains egga, liquids or very fragile

Nearly all foreign corntries insure 

letters and paci.ages up to $lu In their

This Is sure to be done sooner or later. 

Turning to tho regulations of tiiejn-iernation- .il 

Postal Union, one finds th.at 

the sender of a registered package to a 

foreign country Is entitled to $10 In 

case of loss, unless the latter has been 

occasioned by "force majeure" mean 

ing war. This indemnity must be paid 

by the government, that dispatcher the 

package. However, that government 

may recover the amount from the gov- 

ernment In whose territory tho loss 

was incurred. 

The adoption by Uncle Sam of an In- 

demnity limited to $10 would Increase 

the confidence of the public at very 

little cost. During the last fiscal year 

C5I pieces of registered matter were 

lost. Supposing tho maximum pay- 

ment to be granted in each Instance, 

the entire expense of such insurance 

would bo $0,510 for the twelvemonth. 

This is a trifle compared with th, 

money gained thatwould nccrue to the 

government from the Increase In the

acceptance of the Indemnity plan. The 

latter would take from the ordinary 

malls a vast number of money letterj

such letters much more safe.

CORK IN CALIFORNIA. 

.ttrmpttn (irntr (linlupaqnr Stoppers tn 

Oilirlrl nllry. 

The department of agriculture will 

laue a bulletin ltefore long on tho sub- 

ject of cork. It will advocate the cul 

ture of cork trees In this country, urg- 

ing that forests of this specie of oak. 

cou,l established with great prollt 

the southern states Statistics show 

that 12.000,000 worth of cork Is import 

into the I nlted States annuahy. It 

steadily Increasing In ralu, fetchlns 

now eleven times the price that was 

paid for it in 1790 The soil of Cali- 

fornia is particularly well adapted to 

tha cork oak. which grows there with 

greater rapldltv than In Europe. Al- 

ready about l.wHi of the trees havu 

been planted in the San Gabriel vnlloy. 

The Ualrersio of California has, ac- 

cording to the Drooklvn Cltlrn. dls-- 

tribuled several bushels of the acorns. 

which by the way. are very good to ent. 

tasting like chestnuts The varlsty 

uses to which cork Is put is extra- 

ordinary. To the Algerians It is ai 

reat a. necessity as the agave to tho 

Mexican or the palm to the Arab. From 

he make boats, furniture, saddles, 

hoes, horseshoes, and ev.-- n clothing. 

Other employments for the material in 

southern Europe are for rooting, jll, 

clothes, window lights, plates, tabs, 

drinking vessels, religious image, 

fences, and coffins. The waste eork 

from the catting of bottle stoppers is 

utilised for filling cushions and mat 

tresses, and In the manufacture of cork 

dust bricks, which are serviceable 

whe-- e great dryness is required. A 

ver, fine kind of pasteboard is made 

fron cork, the ground substance being 

ml ted with paper pulp and pressed to 

squeese out the water. Cork waste ia 

alo used for making life-boat- s, buoys, 

linoleum, inner soles for shoes, artifi- 

cial legs and arms, "cork concrete." 

and many other articles in which light- 

ness and elasticity are require!. 

Champagne cork consume the bulk ot 

the finest cork that reaches the markst. 

They cost a cent a piece who!salc. 

This is because they have to be cut by 

hand. Ordinary cork that is intended 

to be cut by machinery is first softened 

by steam, so that It may not take tho 

edges off the revolving knives. Cork 

thus treated does well enough for com 

moa .purposes, but It has lost iu efse-ticit- y. 

and does not make stoppers tight 

enough for champagne. The knives 

employed are so quickly dulled that 

they have to be sharpened constantly 

by the cork-cutt- er as he works. Tho 

great champagne houses often engago 

the entire output of cork-cutti- estab- 

lishments in Spain and Portugal.

It 13 on- - of tho most hackneyed of 

expression that "fine feathers make j 

tine birds," Our dames nnd demol-- 1 

telles have striven with all their might 

to outdo their feathered friends In out- - j 

side apparel, and with not Indifferent 

success, as a stroll up and down the 

streets of r great cities on a bright 

afternoon would conclusively prove. 

If they would go a step farther and 

emulate the same creatures In another 

point, the results would to favorable 

to the peace of mind and heart of the 

denr creatures and bring more tranquil- 

ity to the domestic flreflde. Instead 

of this, they revere the conditions, and 

In place of the softest, finest and most 

delicate materials net to the body, 

they possess themselves of a hetero- 

geneous mass of cheap garments, of 

coarse fabric and sloppy workmanship, 

and save the down of tol'et for the out- 

side, says the New York Ledger. Even 

the goose has sense enough to protest 

against being deprived of tho tine un- 

derwear with which nature has pro- 

vided her, but her sister geese of the 

human family not only make no protest, 

but actually from choice select an out- 

fit at which any feath- 

ered gosling would quack a loud de- 

fiance. It might be Interesting to 

trace not a few domestic Infelicities and 

not n few disrupted households to a 

systematic disregard for the example 

of the web-foote- d model above men- 

tioned. There are men so ultra fastid- 

ious that they cannot tolerate untidi- 

ness even In their wives, and the under- 

wear of some well-to-d- o women Is of lt-- 

I slf sufficient to drive a man of deli 

cate sensibilities from his domestic 

sanctuary. People of sense cannot and 

will not respect a woman whose under- 

wear Is untidy or shabby when she can 

have better. Her claim to respect is 

frail. Indeed, If she puts a seventy-five-dollar 

dress over fifty-ce- undergar- 

ments. Personal tldlnss Is too apt to 

be neglected In the hurry and undis- 

ciplined worry of the average house- 

hold. Conveniences and privacy, too.aro 

lacking in many cases, and so from day 

to day good resolutions fade and fall, 

and the habit of disorderly and, dirty 

garments creeps into the home circle 

and shadows the fireside by Its pres- 

ence. The subject of underwear Is by 

no means an unimportant one. The 

underclothes of any woman are the 

most perfect Index of her character and 

refinement of mlnJ, as well as her taste 

and education.

Mildred and others have asked how 

one may become a successful author. 

Answer: First and foremost, one must 

have something to write about, then 

write it with as much directness as 

possible. Never try to write about anv- - 

. thing you do not understand. The world 

I Is full of experts who will detect errors 

I at a glance, and will not be charitable 

In criticising them. Writers who do-- 

Wr-'t- o have their wrltlncs published 

ofen pj the publisher for doing the 

work. Otherwise they are sent to the 

editors of papers and magazines, and 

are accepted if satisfactory. Use any 

good paper, write only on one Mde. and 

sign jour own name or a fictitious one. 

Just as you please.

Tn in Cat l.mi Villil. 

A friend of mine, who recently re- 

turned from a visit to the mining 

camps on tho Island of Cerros, which 

lies in the Pacific ocean, off the coast 

of Lower California, In speaking of the 

fauna and flora of that Interesting 

volcanic upheaval, told me that he saw 

a number of small cats running wild on 

the Island. They were prowling about 

the rocks, and among the many cacti 

rmd giant century plants that form the 

only vegetation of that nrid soil, and af 

ford these cats their only shelter. He 

describes the color of these animals as 

varied, many being gray, some entirely 

black, and a few spotted with black and 

white. 

My friend Is correct In 

the belief that these small cats have 

descended from domestic animals that 

had been left on the Island, or had 

escaped from wrecks on the coast, and 

iluce that time have multiplied under 

favorable conditions of food and cli- 

mate. They prey chiefly upon the rats 

that are found there of tho "trading" 

and the "kangaroo" species. 

Theso kangaroo rats are peculiar to 

Australia, and must therefore .have 

gained a homo on the Island of Cerros 

In some such way as the cats have done. 

The cats may occasionally vary their 

blll-of-fare by catching tho mice that 

InfcBt the huts of the miners, and the 

ilcxlcan finches that illy over from tho 

mainland In large Hocks. 

My Informant heard occasional 

me-ow- s and distant at 

night sounds that reminded him more 

of home and civilization than any other 

that met his car during his trip. Once 

or twice by the mere force of habit, ho 

found himself on the very point of 

hurling boot-Jac- ks and soap cups at the 

Icllne serenaders. 

In their habits these Cerros cats aro 

exceedingly wlld.as we might naturally 

suppose. For, no matter how much of a 

pet a cat may be, If her young aro 

brought up to shift for or 

are turned adrift In the woods, even 

after a domestic they wl.l 

at once show themselves proficient In 

those feline arts that enable them to 

rapture their prey and to avoid their 

tnemle. The wild aature of.a bouse 

tat la only dormant, ready at any mo- 

ment to transform It Into a beast o!

Value of Gen'feness Tho money 

value of quietness, gentleness and good 

temper In milch cows Is well known 

nud appreciated by all practical dairy- 

men as a thing of prime Importance. 

These to a certain extent are Inherited 

from the parents of the animal, the 

same as disposition to fatten, quality 

of flesh, yield of milk, etc. Even 

harsh tones to a nervous and timid ani- 

mal arc almost as dangerous as blows. 

Gentle treatment should commenco 

early with the young calf, and be con- 

tinued until the animal is put in the 

dairy. The calf should n.er know 

what It Is to fear man, and If never 

treated harshly, frightened or teased, 

will, almost without exception, be ex- 

empt fro vicious habits. They should 

be brought up with the Idea that man 

is their friend and protector. Stock 

that can be approached at any tlmo are 

easier to handlo and In that way repay 

many times over the trouble u takes 

to raise them In this manner. The 

best of dairy breeds may be rendered 

useless if subjected to harsh treatment. 

The Average Cow. The census 

claims that there aro over 10,600000 

cows In the United States, and esti- 

mates their average production of but- 

ter at 130 pounds each. When we con-sld- er 

that a good many cows yield 

frcro 1M to 400 pounds per year wo 

must conclude that there are a very 

large number that yield far below 130 

pounds, else the average would not be 

reduced to that figure. It goes with-o- ut

this will bo good nows, for some day 

there will probably bo a quail farn 

where this most valuable game bird will 

be bred and raised in quantities. Hcccat 

severe winters have greatly lessenel 

the natural supply of quail, not oslyla 

this section, but farther south as rtl, 

and game protective societies hare ex 

perienced much difficulty In ol'alnlsg I 

nB many birds ns they wanted fori 

breeding purposes. 

Mr. Rudolph's discovery of the fcol 

young quail requlro was not an acci 

dent, but tho result of long study. He 

has kept live quail for the last twenty 

years, but only until recently has bs 

succeeding In getting the young birds 

to live. All ordinary food, such as Is 

given young chickens, turkeys, eta, be 

found to be useless with quail, the 

young invariably dying. He tried broad 

after brood and finally turned his a- 

ttention to wild food, such as the birds 

would be likely to get in their natural 

state. He was successful and now sars 

he can raise C5 per cent of all young 

birds hatched. Just what this wild foal 

is Mr. Rudolph says la his secret. Ills 

success proves that It Is a good ose. 

After the birds are ten days old they 

will cr.t anything and live. 

Exterminating Burdocks Like all 

biennials, the burdock is easily d- 

estroyed In cultivated fields. It is 

only in as fence sides, co- 

rners, and around the buildings, pas- 

tures, and borders of woodlands that 

burdocks give trouble, lint even la 

these they are not difficult to destroy. 

Farmers who go over their fields twice 

a year with their spades will soon bare 

no burdocks. In cutting them care 

should be taken to strike below the 

crown. Every plant cut In this way 

must die. The cutting may be done at 

any time of the year when the ground 

Is not frozen, and it Is, of course, much 

more easily done when the plants are 

young. While It Is not difficult to cut 

off a small tap root with tho spade, It 

Is much more difficult to accomplish the 

same when the root baa attained a d- 

iameter ot an Inch or more. Two or 

threo years ot persistent spading will 

remove nearly all burdocks from the 

es of our farms. Ex.

to prevent and cure consumpt-

they improve the appetite, pro-

the nervous system. But they 

lack the peculiar medicinal 

properties, and the fat, ound

BLUNDESTONE HALL. 

ninnilestnne Is tho very place to appeal 

to such a mind as that of Dickens. It 

Is thoroughly English, with Its church. 

Its mill, Its pound nnd Its Irregular 

street, free from nny taint of the Jerry 

builder. Tho hall Is a plain edifice, 

nestling in a little hollow nmld majes- 

tic elms. Here are tho "long passage" 

of "enormous perspective" and the 

"dark storcroom,""a plncetobcrun past 

at night;" and hero are "tho two par- 

lors: the parlor In which we sit on an 

evening, my mother and I and l'cggoty 

for l'cggoty Is qulto our companion 

when her work Is done and we nro alone 

and the best parlor, where we sit on 

a Sunday: grandly, but not comfort- 

ably." Tho church, liko many another 

In tho district, has an embattled circu- 

lar tower, at the western end of navo 

and chancel; and It has a roomy porch 

surrounded by a sun dial; "and I see 

tho red light shining on the sun dial, 

and think within myself, 'Is the sun 

dial glau, I wonder, that It can tell the 

tlmo again?'" It Is rather a dlsap-polntmt-- nt 

when you think ot that "high 

hacked pew" to note that the church Is 

now seated with benches. Of course 

when Dickens' namo Is mentioned you 

arc pretty certain to elicit recollections 

nt n rinrl ,4Whv ,r ' Krtva nno Mf know

I" "" -.,- "-...., 

the old cirrler what Mr. Dickens writ 

about. Ho wor a right good sort, ho 

wor. Many a glass o" alo wo had to- 

gether at the Plough. But the girl Peg-got- y 

as he kept company with she wor 

a bad tin as she turned out." Perhaps 

you suggest that there has been a mis- 

take somewhere and ask If the carrier's 

name was Barkis. "Well, sir," Is tho 

answer, "I can't, exactly say, but I think 

It was Bill." 

The flymen from Lowestoft, again, 

will remark to their fares pointing 

with their whips "That bo the house 

of Mr. Copperlleld. Nice old gentleman 

ho wor, to' be sure, and very kind to us 

poor drivers. Never gave us less than 

half a sov' when wc drlv him Into Lowe- 

stoft." Of the male inhabitants a good- 

ly proportion Is to a great extent am- 

phibious. For when not harvesting or 

otherwlso working on tho farm, they 

seek their bread on tho waters, as hands 

on the fleet of Ashing boats that sail 

from the neighboring ports. Tho result 

Is that they may be seen In tho fields 

garbed as often In guernseys and sou'-weste- rs 

as In smocks. And their Ideas, 

formed partly on tho land and partly 

on the sea, aro equally mixed on many 

subject. Soino have a notion that 

Dickens was a wealthy smack owner In 

Yarmouth, and that the Coppcrfield 

family, somehow connected with tho vill- 

age, were friends of bis. But many, oven 

of tho working folks, nro well acquaint- 

ed with David Copperlleld, and they 

have a fixed belief in the reality of the 

characters. It may bo added iut tho

"Curiously enough," writes Mr. 

Zharles Dickens, tho younger, "although 

Coppcrfield has slnco proved the most 

popular, and has enjoyed the largest 

salo of any of Charles Dickens' books, 

with tho single exception of Pickwick, 

Its original circulation was by no means 

striking In comparison with that of 

some of Ita predecessors and successors. 

The sale In monthly parts never, d, 

exceeded twenty-fiv- e thousand, a 

fact which la the more surprising In 

that the surpassing merit of the book 

was at once universally recognised, and 

that It was even at that time admitted, 

with scarcely a dissentient voice, to b 

Its author's masterpiece." The n

FLATTERY A CURSE,

Men Aro ItcaponOtdr. 

A recent magazine nrtlclo complains 

that men nro forever tnlklng of pretty 

women, ns if prettlness wero tho solo 

nttrlbuto that could make them endura- 

ble. Tho nrtlclo continues: 

"Pretty women, pretty women, pretty 

women! Evcrlnstlngly, unceasingly, 

unvaryingly tho same phrase, the same 

tone, the same note, tho nges through 

and the world over. Aro pretty women 

so very few, or so very many? Are 

they remarkable for their scarcity, or 

remarkable for their commonness? 

They who have calm heads and cool 

hearts, who dwell In a critical atmos- 

phere, d, who neither rant 

nor rave, who are not always discov- 

ering goddesses in every company, aro 

prone to the opinion that nature dis- 

tributes physical charms In a niggard- 

ly manner, thnt beauty Is prominently 

lacking In tho human kind. These so 

weary of the Iteration about pretty wo- 

men, pretty women, wish sometimes 

that not nioro than one woman In a 

thousand were really pretty; and In 

their weariness they thick thnt their 

wish is gratified. Who Is pretty, and 

who la not Is a question that never 

can be eettlcil. There Is no absolute 

fitnndard. Fixed rules exist not. Each 

man's Judgment is for him supreme. 

She who is hideous to one may bo en- 

chanting to another; angels and witches 

frequently occupy tho same body. 

Beauty depends not on the owner, but 

on the percelver. It la far moro ob- 

jective than subjective. Tho woman 

who pleases a mnn, who attracts blip, 

In whom he delights. Is pretty to his 

eyes, however plain to tho multitude. 

Hence, In a bense, tho wor!J Is full of 

pretty women; for somebody Is fond 

of every one of them, and sees her In 

the best, most favorable l.gJU. She may 

not bo beautiful, posltlro'.y, even to 

him; she may not seem to havo many 

handsome features; but she cannot bo 

positively plain; die must be at least 

good looking to his partial vision; for, 

fortunately, such Is the decree of af- 

fection, the canon of sympathy."

hens aro doing very well this fall, 

saving luld right along through the 

month of October. Generally I expect 

my liens to stop laying at moulting 

time, nnd such was my experience In 

tho years when I fed a gnsit deal of 

com and corn meal. I remember that 

one I got my last egg Oct. 2. This 

year I havo been getting daily about 

one-fift- h as many eggs as I havo hens. 

That of course Is not a record, 

nor a spring record be expected in 

October. During the summer my fowls 

were shut up and were fed on oats and 

wheat. Later In tho fall tho chango 

was mado to corn nnd oats, In about 

quanltles by weight. I bellevo

I havo a neighbor who started In lat

ing tho Inst three months he had killed 

about 20 of his old and found no 

sign of egg development them. The 

embryoniceggs were so very that 

he had no regret for having killed the 

birds. HIr wife complained that the 

fowls were too fat for good eating. Al- 

together ho was disgusted. Asked what 

he had been feeding, he replied corn 

'"1(l ome wheat. The solution was 

Plain. Ho had fed his flock on a food 

that mado them fat. I had paid little,

to cease. The neighbor of whom I Just 

spoke has four separate pens

would separate the old from the young,

probably of bran oats. I would not i 

dare to feed oats altogether, fearing to j 

I "ake some of them crop-boun- d by their

of a bulky food that would not too 

greatly expand. My neighbor says that 

when he feeds oats his hens do not eat 

them readily after n few days, and In 

will not cat them nt all unless 

they are starved to It. Very well, that

The fall would seem to be a good time

Husk Corn Early Do not be behind 

with your fall work If you can possibly 

find competent help to keep your work 

up with the season. The snows of win- 

ter will Eoon be here and then It is too 

late to husk corn with nny degree of 

comfort. Tho writer recalls two years 

in the past when the snow came ln largo 

quantities In November before the corn , 

was gathered and remaining until 

spring. On one of theso years, wo 

t 

think tho whiter of 1S&1-S- 2, the snow rc- - 

mnlned until nearly May 1, and the corn 

thnt had been with throe or four 

feet of snow all winter, nnd was steeped 

In water and mud when the snow 

melted In the spring, was so badly dam- 

aged us to bo unmerchantable mid not

Points In Celery Culture. It Is well 

known that tho celery plant ib:llghts Iu 

a rich and moist soil, and those who 

have tho opportunity to use liquid ma-- 

imrp In cultivation of this nlatit 

have a great advantage over others. In 

addition to this some cultivators who 

grow the celery for market are Intro- 

ducing water artificially, and find it to 

bo a profitable practice. In this con- 

nection Meehan's Monthly cites a grow- 

er In Allegheny City, Pa., who has a 

supply pipe from one of the city water 

mains so arranged that at the end where 

the flow commences guauo or some 

other artificial fertilizer can bo placed 

In the water pipes. Ho can get double' 

the crop from'the same ground as by 

the ordinary methods, arid stalks that 

bring a much higher In market. 

Hog Raising In Ihe South. It Is sim- 

ply astonishing the Interest that Is be- 

ing taken in hog raising In the South 

during the present season. The writer 

scarcely passed a day without receiv- 

ing Inquiries in regard to purchase or 

caro of awlne. The few pigs he breeds 

are sold beforo they are born,
