Defeat Of the New Hampshire Boss.
The protracted struggle in New Hampshire
over the election OF Senator with large tepuh-
liCan majority in both branches of the Lcgisa-
turc, signifies revolt against hc bosses, and a
break up of machine rule in the State 1t is
only a repetition OF the experience in other
Northern States which for many wears have
been Republican under close corporation of
selfish leaders.
The toO-palicnt people at last became weary
Of this domination and of being made to serve as
hewcrs of wood and drawers of water for cor
rupt politicians. They rose up in their might
last fall, swept Republican majority out OF the
House OF Representatives, and captured States
that had not wavcrcd in their political fidelity
for twenty years. Even Massachusetts bent be

The same sentiment seemed to animate the fp-

No politician has ever received n sterncr re-

telephoned to him from the Navy Department,
as he did at the last session of Congress.
With the regular caucus at his back, Rollins
was forced to beat an ignOminous retreat, and

a Useful 4 Elim:iI that Requires but
1.iiiIr Food and nO shelter.

Lowmdes county is really the home Of the
Gunca COW, ah0at which much has been
said aud written. The history of these COWS is
dun one hul th'y were first bred by Colonel
SiaplcI, " ho lived on the Florida line Just above
NAldoota. They may or may not have been
brought over by the Minorcans. They were
certainty bred up and perfected by Col Stapler
He man of large wealth. and lived on a
perb estate, where he kept open house for
years before the war.
II Was his idea TO breed Il COW that would be
suited to that country-a scant feeder of small
bulk, free mixers, docIlc, hardy and wide rang
crs. He succeeded in getting an admirable little
animal that could live on the native pasturage
OF the pine barrcnS and stand any sort of expo
sure. II averages thirty five inches in height
has an immense bag is rs gentle as a dog, and
asks but little other TODD than what it picks up
For years il was known as The Stapler COW, and
il was dubbed the Guinea alter some of his
herd had been sold in Thomas and elsewhere.
Colonel Stapler died some years ago, but his
wife and sons own his estate, Mr. Richard Sta
pier being in charge of the old homestead. For
some time little attention was paid TO Guinea
cows, and it was only after those sold to outside
cOuniics had created such demand that it was
thought worth while to breed them largely. Mr..
Stapler told me that he could have sold hundred
of the cows easily during the past year, and
says he could place fifty of them at once at 800
each | have forwarded several orders for them
and have never yet been able to get one filled.
On the Stapler place there is a herd of
perhaps forty pure Stapler Guineas, headed by
excellent Guinea bulls. 1t s the intention of
Mr. Stapler to breed cows for the market, and by
next wear he will doubtless be able to fill few
orders He is determined to send out nothing
but choice cows, well marked and Of pure blood
