HAVE COURAGE. MY BOY, TO
tx, SAY NO.

You are starting ON life's journey,
Alone on the highway OF liie'
You'll meet with thousand temptations,
Each city with evil is rife,
This world is a stage of excitement;
There is danger where'er you 60,
But If YOU are tempted in weakness,
Have the courage, my boy, to say no.
The syren's sweet song may allude you;
Beware of her cunning and art,
Whene'er you see her approaching,
Be guarded and haste to depart.
The billiard saloons are inviting,
Decked out with their tinsel and show,
You may be invited to enter;
Have courage, my boy, to say no.
The bright ruby wine may be offered;
No matter how tempting it be,
From poison that .stings like an adder,
My boy, have courage to flee.
The gambling halls are below you;
Their lights-how they dance to and fro
If you should be tempted to enter,
Have courage, my boy, to say no.
In courage alone lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin;
And trust in a heavenly father,
Who will keep you unspotted from sin
Temptations will go on increasing,
AS streams from riyulet flow, 49,
But if you are true to your manhood,
Have courage, my boy, to say no.

THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

The Russian harvest for 1919 Is re-
ported to be a more signal failure than
has been known in that country 10:
many years. The crop, it is said, has
failed not here and there in scattered
districts, but from end to end OF the
vast dominions of Alexandra II. in
Europe. An article in the Allegemeine
Zeitung says:
From Orel to Keim, from Tabow to
Podolsk, comes up one universal wall
from the ruined peasents aud farmers.
1t is not local lamentatior like that
which reached all hearts from the great
famine in Samara: it is an absolute pros
tration of nearly the whole grain grow
ing region of Russia.
Aud if the accounts are true, what
adds still more to the calamity is the
fact that the failure of the cereals has
been accompanied by a failure Of the
grass crop. The farmers having their
fodder as well as their grain crops re-
duced, are selling their cattle at rulnous
rates, and in part of Podalla many are
putting their cattle out to board fol the
winter on condition that in the spring
for every head returned two head shall
be retained by the landlord for their
keeping! r
1t should be borne in mind, however
that the origin of these G gloomy accounts
is traceable to the Russian correspon-
dents of certain German newspapers
not always reliable source or imforma-
ton in matters affecting the present
condition or future prospects OF Rus
sia
Should the report turn out to be true,
the fact will have great significance tor
grain dealers in America. In 1878
Great Britain alone paid Russian about
S45, 10000 IN gold, while the amount,
paid to America in the same year was
about $50, 100000. Should the whole
or greater portion OF this Russian sup
DIV be cut off this year, il will necessi-
tate a much larger importation than
formerly from this side OF the Atlantic
Yet even if the agriculture OF Russia is
in as terrible condition as reported, 1t
does not follow that she will entirely
disappear from the grain markets as an
exporting power during the current sea,
son. Grain was exported from Ireland
it will be remembered. even during the
height of the dreadful famine in lS47 /;
and the internal communications OF
Russia are still SO inadequate that there
ale doubtless districts, of southern Rus
sia particularly, from which it will be
more easy to export grain at Western
prices to western Europe than to send
it al famine prices to western Russia

years has passed under the name Of
James A. Deadrick, and professed to be
q mute, has published statement in
which he confesses that heis nota mute,
and that his name is A. j. Morgan, a
native of Salem, n. G. He says hetailed
in business in his former home, and
while seeking work in Southeastern Vir-
pinia conceived the idea of playing mute
in order to obtain something to eat and
lodging In his wanderings he wooed
and won the affections of young lady
in Pulaski sounty, married her, and had
lived with her seven years without
speaking TO her. Morgan says he had
spoken but twice in seven years-not
even when alone-and these two times
by accident, which came near exposing
him.

BAsNUM's BIGGEST BEAST ON A BENDER
AT BRIDGEPORT-TACKLI A LOCO

BAaNUMs BIGGEST BEAST ON A BENDER
AT BRIDGEPoRT-TACKLI LOCO
MOTIVE.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, November 90
Last night Betsy, the big elephant, now
wintering here, became dissatisfied with
her narrow quarters IN the barn where
the auimals are confined, and made up
her mind to sally forth into wider-are-
ma. She accordingly snapped the ropes
and chains that bound her, walked out
of her stall, and after promenading up
and down for few minutes, marched
to the cage of young Bengal tiger,
upset it, and turned the occupant loose.
The tiger was taken by surprise, and so
much disgusted at the practical joke
played upon him that he retreated to
quiet corner and nursed his wrath. Bet
sy seemed to be spelling for fight
She started again for the tiger, but be-
fore she could strike him he had jumped
clear over her and had taken refuge Oh
one of the crossbeams. Betsy made an
other attempt to reach the tiger, but
failed. She then burst open the barn
door and marched for the railroad de-
pot, where she encountered an engine
ON the track. She made close study
of the Kissing and snortiug iron horse,
aud having satisfied herself that she
could easily overcome it in fair fight,
she proceeded to tackle it. She tried it
on all sides, bu, could not bud ge it, and
after having scorched her proboscis by
bringing it in close contact with the fur
mace door, she became Respondent, and
moved away.
Meantime Nero and Tank, the two
dogs that are kept with the elephant,
had trotted around and aroused the
keepers. who started out to capture the
eccentric runaway. Wilson f. Green
and Charles Colton came up with her
rs she was entering the town. They
both tried by moral suasion to induce
Betsy to return to camp, but she indig
uantly refused Further persuasion ir-
-ritatrd her, and at length, failing by
quiet obstinacy to rid herself of her tor
mentors, she lifted her trunk and brought
it down with sidelong sweep that sent
MIR. Green more than ten yards through
space. She then upset Mr.. Cotton, and
would perhaps have crushed him with
her feet had not her attention been di-
verted in time by Tommy Murphy, one
of the circus boys, who ran up in front
of he-. SEEING Tommy around the
middle she held him alott, and, carrying
him gently for few rods, dropped him
tenderly on the ground and continued
on her journey.
By this time the whole circus force
was out Dozens of men surrounded
the huge beast, and after beating her
badly with clubs and prodding her with
pitchforks they succeeded in getting Bet
sy in harness. As soon as she was teth-
cred she turned quietly about and re-
turned to the barn without protest.
Had the escape been made in the day
time, serious damage might have result
ed from Betsy's freak.

ARREST OF BARNEY McQUADE-PAR-
TlcULARs OF HIS CAPTURE-HIs Re-
TURN TO CUMBERLAND-Yes Yesterday we
were questioned on every side for the
particulars concerning the arrest OF bar
ney McQuade,a notice of which was pub
lished in yesterdays Times. We there
fore interviewed his captor, Col. j. 9.
Lynn, Deputy U. S. Marshall, and OBJ
tanned the following account. Having
q suspicion that Barney was in the Iron
City or thereabout, the Colonel LETT
Cumberland with hope of falling in
with him. On Sunday morning last
our late Sheriff arrived in Pittsburgh at
an early hour and took wash, lit ci-
gar and proceeded oat on the street,
leaving his baggage, including his re-
volver, at the st. Charles Hotel. He
had not gone very far before, to his
pleased surprise, he saw Barney, distant
from him probably hundred yards.
For awhile he could scarcely believe
the evidence OF his own eyesight, and
he approached to within few feet of
Barney, and looked closely at him to
satisfy himself of his identity. Nc
Quade recognized the Ex,Sheriff and
exclaimed Halo !! what are you doing
up here" upon which the Colonel re-
marked that he was on short visit,
with which business and pleasure were
combined. "By the way" said Bal
nsy, couldn't you loan me hive dollars,
I'm pretty hard up and will be until l
can hear from home The Colonel
said, yes he would do so with pleasure
if he would accompany him to the ho-
tel, which was only short distance of.
Barney readily consented and walked
with him until they arrived in front OF
the hotel, when McQuade suggested
that he would wait outside while the
Colonel went up and in to get the funds,
bu! the Colonel had no idea of losing
sight of his man ard with little gentle
persistence got him up stairs to the
clerks Office; knowing that official very
well he asked him to give him the sum
of five dollars, which YVES promptly
done. Now" said Col. Lynn, "Bar
ney you must give ME receipt for
this money" "Of course 1 will" said
Barney. "you write the receipt and |
will sign it," The paper was prepared
and while Barney was signing the Col
onel stepped around to his valise and
secured his revolver. Stepping quickly
up to McQuade he said "Barrey you
are my prisoner" We can only imag-
inc the surprise of Barney at such an
announcement. His reply was: Nov
this is devil OF business" The Sc
quent facts are these: the prisoner was
given shave, shsmpoon and break
fast, which occupied so much time that
the earlier train was missed and Barney
was taken to the lookup end kept untll
yesterday morning, when captive and
captor took the train for this city, arriv-
ing here about 4:40 P. NJ. A large
crowd were gathered at the depot on
the arrival of the prisoner and much III
terest manifested in his arrest The
prisoner was at once taken to the coun-
ty Jail and will be taken thence Sithout
delay Git he don't escape) to Baltimore.

They started new and difficult tune,

GENERAL SHERMANs RELIGION
Somebody ought to interview General
Sherman as to his opinion Of President
Grants Des Moines speech about tie
common school system. General Sher-
man and his family are Roman Catho-
lies" ..
clip the above from western jour
nal because l have the best reason to
contradict the assertion made in the last
sentence. Mrs. Sherman and her chill
dren are strict adherents of the Catholic
faith, but General Sherman is not a
member ot any church, and his relatives
of his name are ProteStants. On one
occasion jestingiy remarked to Gener.
al Sherman that probably there would
be as much discussion after his death
in regard to his religious views as there
had been about those of Dir. Lincoln.
"Not SO" he answered promptly, "there
will never be any occasion tor any such
discussion. / give you my views in
brief at once" Then he spoke in sub
stance about as follows: 81 believe if
people will act only half as well as they
know how in this world they will be all
right in the next" General Sherman
and his wife, their friends say. never
have any difference on any subject, and
are content each to hold their own
views as regards religion. Mrs; Sher-
man once told me that the fact that she
was a Catholic would never make her
forget that she was General Sherman
wife, or cause her to enter into any con-
troversy adverse to him. The gallant
soldier is scarcely likely in any "inter-
view" to criticise any of President
Grants speeches, tor, despite the efforts
of meddlers to foment disturbances and
excite jealousy between the two great
generals, the most kindly feelings exists
between them, and the esteem each en-
tertains for the other has never cooled.

VERDICT IN AN Acrios SoR DEcrir.
"A singular case was decided this week
in the Circuit Court for Washington
county, Md 1t was given in evidence
on the trial that in 1871 Mrs. Susan
Wecker asked the First National Bank
of HageStown TO cash draft on New
York tor si,O47. The teller OF the bank
John d. Newcomer, being told by her
that she wished to invest $1,000 ia
Washington county bonds, advised her
that q better investment would be IN
Northern Pacific railroad bonds, which
have since deprecated to about fifteen
cents on the dollar. Ii was also stated,
that DIR. Josish +. Smith, Mrs, Week
ler's phy sician, had invested $4,000 IN
the Northern Pacific, and this assurance
induced her to similarly invest. Robert
o. Nyman, the son-in- law of Mrs. Week
lcr, confirmed her testimony, he being
present at the conversations. The &C.
ton was brought against the teller Of
the bank to recover the amount inves-
ted under deceitful representations, ssd
the jury gave verdict in Mrs, Week
lers favor. The defendant, in his testi-
mony, denied all allegations Of deceit,
and said that at that time the railroad
bonds were in good sale aud g.
teemed an excellent investment DR..
Smith testified that be had never In.
vested in the Pacific railroad bonds, and
never told any one he bad done 10.
Mrs. Weckier first brought her action
against the bank, but the c0art hsid
that it could not be maintained becanse
il was not within the chartered powers
of national banks, under the act Of Con.
gress Incorporating them, TO deal Ia
bonds, and that any one who dealt with
oational bank in u transaction beyond
its powers, did so at his peril and can
have no remedy against the baDk--sv-
cry one being presumed TO know the
eytent OF those powers and limitations.
The case was taken to the Court Of Ap-
peals, which affirmed the rulings Of the
court below. The defendant has Sled
q motion for new trial But meantime
the decision is very important one,
and indicates that those who undertake
to put all sorts OF securities upon the
market, must be careful Of their words
in commencing them 10 investon.--
