THE TINE HAD CONE. Three or four
years ago, when there was grip on the
potato market, there lived near an interior
village in this state farmer named Peters.
He raised good crops, paid his debts, and
was down on rings of all sorts. The price
of potatoes kept going up and up, and the
old farmer was uneasy. He came into the
village every evening to see how the mar
ket stood, and although he never said
much it was evident that he would burst
his hoops pretty soon if things continued
in that way. AT length the climax came.
One evening the old man and his son had
a warm corner in grocery when citizen
entered with newspaper in his hand, and
said:
This New York daily says that the
price OF potatoes is certain to advance
again before the week Is out
what" exclaimed Peters, ''another ad.
vance 10 'tatersf"
"Yes, tho Lord only knows what is 70
become Of the poor ifthis potato ring isn't
| burstee."
The farmer arose. buttoned his old
white overcoat clear to his chm, brought
his fist down hard On the cheese boz and
sternly said:
.srhe time has come," I've stood it.
and stood Il rs long as | can. and nov I'm
going to acii George, Wen go home and
get ready to throw fhy-sir bushels O
Peachblows on the market tomorrow, and
burst that wicked ring all TO thunder"

Woman's sphere is daily enlarging,
and their invasions in the field of labor
threaten fresh incursions into the king
dom formerly held sacred toiman. The
latest development in this line was
brought to the attention of Globe
Democrat reporter. yesterday, at the
St. Louis Mining and Stock Exchange.
when he was introduced to- Mrs. Alice
Berge Clarke. lady prospector, assayer
and mining correspondent. Mrs. Clarke,
by the death of her husband, came into
the possession of several mining claims.
In order to superintend their develop
ment she passed through 4 course Of
study in Prof. Murdocks school of as
saying and chemistry in Chicago. She
is skillful prospector, and in handling
the mineral specimens on exhibition at
the Exchange; displayed her familiarity
with their component parts BY intelli-
gently criticising their probable assay
value. Mrs. Clarke is also a compre-
hensive writer on mines and minerals,
and utilizes her knowledge TO pecuniary
profit by acting as special correspondent
for number of mining journals, prom
inent among which is the Daily Stock
Report of New York. She is now en-
gagged in inspe citing the Missouri coal
and iron mines. and will leave in day

Earning His Bread.

Yesterday forenoon tramp called at
q house on Adams avenue and asked
if he might saw enough wood to pay
for his breakfast.
That's pretty old dodge" replied
the house owner. "Youl knew we
burned coal before you came in
:. You haven't any snow to shovel
offp'
"Snow? Why the walks have been
bare for two weeks -
"Yes, l believe they have, but I'd be
willing to shovel snow for half an hour
for my breakfast"
would you P Then you shall have
the chances. Come out here
The citizen produced snow-shovel
and pointed to an old snow-bank on a
vacant lot and said i:
There's your job. Shovel away on
that for half an hour and you shall
have solid meal"
The tramp felt his lame back, and
rubbed his rheumatic wrists, and won-
dered if he wasn't going to have the
ague, but couldn't very well back out.
He rushed by the small crowd which
had gathered, and when his half hour
was up he was damp clear behind his
ears, and he complained that his appe-
tite for breakfast had ali been worked
away. A compromise was therefore
effected on cash basis, and he took
two nickels and hurried off as if he
much feared some one else would try
to help him along by offering him work.

Fragments OF Prehistoric Monster.

Sonoma and adjacent counties appear
to be perfect mine of interesting Gu
riosities in the shape of petrifcations
belonging both to the animal and vege-
table kingdom. What is most remark
able is the fact that these relics of by
gone ages are often found in the allu-
vial deposits so near the surface of the
earth as to frequently be revealed by
the pillow. We have before us a petrifi-
cation recently plowed up on the ranch
of Patrick Lawlor on the Sonoma
Mountains, four or five miles from this
city. and at an altitude of several hum
dred feet above the valley or tide level
The specimen is the head and neck of
the temur or thighbone of mastodon
or some other mammoth animal belong
ing to the prehistoric period. 1t is q
complete petriication, nearly sixinches
in diameter across the crown and about
seven inches from apex of crown to
base. 1t weighs eight pounds. We
have several specimens Of large bones
found in this vicinity, but this is the
most perfect petrifcation of the kind
that has come under our notice. As
this was found so near the surface we
doubt not but that with little labor
other bones belonging to the same mon
ster animal of which this is part can
be found. - stdluBaG fCdt. argus.

Thankfulness That 1t Is Over.

1t is remarkable circumstance that
no one mourns the retirement of Mr.
Hayes from the White House. The
only expression of sentiment concern
ing the close of his Administration is
thankfulness that it is over With the
end of four years of fraudulent occu-
pancy of the Presidential chair, he finds
his pet ideas of Government openly
secuted by his successor, his last and
dearest appointments CONTEMPORARY
thrown out by the Senate, and a chorus
of congratulations from his party asso-
ciates that at last they are rid of their
own creation. Under these circum-
stances, without friend to speak kind
word for his Administration, it is not
unnatural that Mr.. Hayes should seek
to defend and excuse HIMSELF and this
he does through an authorized state
ment published in the New York Times.
In this remarkable statement Mr..
Hayes struggles hard with facts and cir
cumstances to make a reputable show
ing for himself, and in doing this he
makes yet more evident the funda-
mental fault of his Administration, its
colorless weakness. Thus, in the first
plea which he makes for favorable con-
sideratioa, in defense of what he calls
his Southern policy, he is obliged to
condemn in the strongest language the
Republican policy OF military coercion
which he found in full operation when
he was counted into Office. He
characterizes the condition of the South
as simply state of war; This is a
condemnation of Republican manage
ment which Mr.. Hayes would not have
dared to make, except when on the
threshold of the back door of the White
House. Yet even with the case so
clearly before him, he confesses hest
fancy in moving for justice. He says
he chad to consider these three points:
What is the best policy to pursue for
the interests of the people at large,
supposing that there were no Constitu-
tional limitations to his action; what is
the best policy for the Republican par
ty; what are the requirements of the
Constitution One would suppose
that tae last Of these three points

A sight so strange that it would pay
strangers to come miles to see occurs
every night, five miles south of this
place, on the Cedar Bluffs of the Cum
berland River. Every evening just
about shutdown the sky is sdarkened as
far as the eye can see by great fiocks
of birds coming to roost in these cedars.
Your correspondent, accompanied by a
native and lantern, spent couple of
hours last night among the cedars
watching this wonderful congregation
of every tongue, plumage, and almost
every country this side Of the tropics.
Startled by our approach great clouds
of the chattering tribe would rise from
their perches in the cedars and fly of
with noise like deep and distant thun-
der. We had to scream at the top of our
voices to hear one another speak. Large
limbs Of the trees were broken of, caused
! by the accumulated weight of birds.
Hundreds, blinded by our lantern. would
fly into our faces. We could pick
thousands of them from the branches of
the trees. DAt what seemed SO strange
about this bird convention was the
seeming peace and harmony that exist

dove roasted in peace on the same
branch, while hundreds Of robins and
sparrows circled in perfect safety around
the perch of large owls. In the early
morning when these songsters of the
groves left their perchcs in the cedars
for the fields of the open country it was
a most beautiful and gorgeous sight to
behold. With the blue Of the jay. the
crimson and red Of the fence wren and
red bird. the yellow and grey of the
yellow and sparrow birds seemed like
some grand and splendid panorama of
the floral kingdom endowed with the
power of music moving through the air
in procession composed OF all the col
ors OF the rainbow. Hundreds of peo-
pie come every night to see this strange
wonder. A great many poor people
gain almost their entire support by
catching apd selling these birds. :

GIVING AND LYING.

Forever the sun is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth be slnanderS on SUBMITS cold.
His wealth on the homes OF want and sorrow W.
TO withhold his largess of precious light
Is TO bury himself in eternal night.
"a To give -,
Is TO live. So
The flower shines not for itself at all. y
Its Joy as the joy il freely diifuses;
OF beauty and balm il is prodigal,
And IL lives I'm the light il freely loses.
No choice for the rose but glory or doom.
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die.
The seas lend silvery rays to the land,
The land its sapphire streams to the ocean;
The heart sends blood to the brain of com.
mand,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion;
And over and over we yield our breath,
Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is TO give.
He is dead whose hand is not open wide
To help the need of human brother:
He doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And "a thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is to die.
