Making Sport Out of Misfortune.

THE people of the West are the most
successful people in the world in making
sport of their misfortunes. One of their
severest Affections at this season is a
visitation of potato bugs, and yet they
crack jokes on the villainous insects as
though their potatoes were in no danger.
The vermin, by the way, bears the crack
ing of jokes remarkably well. One day
we are told the whole army of potato
bugs has pitched its tents on the plains of
Kansas, and is on short rations waiting
for the esculent root to put forth its
sprouts. Then we hear that in Wisconsin
the potato bugs are sitting around on the
fences, offering seventy-five cents bushel
for potatoes and $3.50 day for men to
plant them. Next we hear that the po-
tato bugs will poll full vote in Indiana,
and propose to adopt the cumulative
system. Then we hear that these inter-
esting creatures are holding a joint con-
vention at Council Bluffs, and repudiate
the one-term principle. The latest ad-
vices are to the effect that potato bugs
are loafing about on the street corners In
Dubuque, awaiting the tardy growth of
their favorite vegetable.-Neo York Nail.

THE possible scarcity or short supply
of iron has excited no little apprehension
in the commercial and industrial world.
The consumption is constant and inn
mense. Allowing for the production in
barbarous countries and something for
the use of scrap iron, it is estimated in
round numbers that the production, and
consequently the consumption, of the
world has reached $500, 900 tons; so that,
if the population of the world has reached
one thousand millions, the consumption
is nearly twenty pounds of iron per
head: If the industry of the whole
world were as thoroughly developed as
in Great Britain, nearly 80, 000, 900 tons
per annum would be required; as in the
United States, about so, 000,0 tons.

cy-Presidrnt Johnson, at J0Besboro,
Tenn, in which the cX.Prcsident ex.
plains his action in Mrs. Surratts case.
Says the correspondent:
Speaking TO ex-President Johnson
this cveninc.atter the meeting was over,
| asked him:
How do you intend to meet this
clamor in Western Tennessee about
Your action in Mrs. Surratt's case
Il have no fear Of that damor; If

pulsed either through your order or by
IL. order OF Preston King J

White House ia some way or other, and
finding this girl looking in franticwsy
for me. AMI unable very likely to nm

after No@ as 20 the case OF Mrs. Snr-
raft Mr Lincoln, as you may know,
was assas-inated at a time when be ~as
cotnniander-in-chief OF the armies and
martial Law prevailed in the District.
The opinion Of the Attorney General
was taken a. to the mode Of trial for
the conspiraiors, and he decided tkat
they were liable 10 the jurisdiction Of a
military commission. They had fall

with his family to Lincoln county, ky.
In 1884 he removed to the Green river
country, in Logan county,one mile from
the Tennessee line. While a boy, III

exhort sinners to repentance in this Wild
and unsettled country, and was called
"The kentucky Boy In 1906 he was
ordained deacon by Bishop Asbury. In
1908 he was ordained elder. In 1872
he became a member of the Tennessee
conference. In November, 1912, he was
elected presiding elder, and held the Of
flee for many years. He spent eight
wears in the old Western conference,
eight years i'll the Kentucky conference,
and ffty-fye years in the Illinois confer
ence.
d. In 1869 the Illinois Conference held
inbiee in his honor, and shortly after
he was appointed conference misslona-
ry. in the discharge Of the duties OF
which he has since been engaged, to-
gether with the delivery Of lectures in
various parts OF the country. He was
married August 1s, 1908, in Barron

baptized 5000 children and 1000 adults,
preached 500 funeral and l4,600 other
sermons. He was opposed to any
change in the rules of the church es-
pecially did he oppose the lay delega-
ton. He lived to see the church grow
from seventy-fve thousand, when he
joined it, to million and a quarter, and
the wild country i'll which ne lsbored
become wealthy and thickly settled.
His style of preaching was eccentric, but
torcible as a man, he was a perfect

BAD on DRUMMERS.-The merchants
of Cumberland have made a dead set
against thesystern of commercial agents,
or As it is more familiarly known,
drumming" Fifty of the most proml-
nent firms of that city have signed an
agreement not TO buy from any house
that sends Its drummers TO them to So
licit trade. 1t is asserted by the mer-
chants that the practice of agreat many
of these "agents" is injurious to the reg
ular dealer. The Nsws says: "Our
merchants complain that they are often
sold bill of goods by drummer"
who will then scOur the town and ooun-
try and sell bill Of the smallest size
desired, to those who would to the mer-
chant first instanced. For example the
'sgent' of hardware store will sell a
bill Of goods TO one Of our merchants,
and then call at the blacksmith shops OF
of the city and sell if desired al order
as small Ms key Of nails or horse-shoeS
Or tobacco dealer will buy from a
"drummcr" bill of goods; the drum
mer" will then sell to any one who may
desire them box OF cigars. And SO
on in shoes, hats, jswelry, &c. The
result of all this is, that our merchants
lose custom which should properly come
to them.

THE ALLEGUANkE.
Which | wish TO remark
And my language is plain,-
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
That Allegiance is peculiar,
Which the same would rise to ev-
plain.
Ma Tin was his name
And no one denies
In regard to the same
Hes the bird it implies
And his smile il was penSive AMI child,
like,
Though now frequent OF late,
wise.
1t was in September
And quite soft was the skies
From which remember
That Ma Tin seemd likewise
Yet he played on Dan, D"wnes
And me in away deSpI'c.
Which We had small game,
And Ma l'iu took a hand
|; Was Euchrc The same
Ne did not understand
But he smiled ON MS three 10y tho tshIc,
With the smile that MAS chiliIiSs and
bland
And the ca:ds they were stocked
In a way that | gricvc.
And my feelings were shocked
At the state Of each sleeve;
Whicn had in en- ezra aces and bow
crS,
All the same wilh intent To deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY that Allegiance.
And the points that he made,
Were quite fri-h,tll to >cc,--
Till at las; he put down right bower,
Which the same had been dealt INTO
me
Then looked at Ma Tin,
And he gIzsd upon me
And shocked Ut his sin,
said Can this he
Ny or" ace from RandolPh' pl'yed

Yes I'll 20 for yon Allegiance :
In the scene that cnSucd
did not take a hand,
But Ma Tin is pursued
All over the land
BY them as has heard how my tramp
card he played
In the game "hc did not understand.
Which il why | remark,
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
Irha, Allegiance il peculiar
Which the same am free TO maintain.
