wealthy widow residing on Prospect
street, Cleveland, is soon to be married
to a well known widower living on
Euclid avenue. The other day the
widow visited the Erie street cemetery,
where the remains of her first husband
are inferred. She knelt down beside
the grave and decorated il with flowers.
Pausing in her labor Of love she looked
up, and a short distance from her beheld
the widower, whom she is so soon to
marry, bending over the grave Of his
first wife. engaged also in adorning the
tomb with flowers. Their eyes met, and
advancing toward one another they be-
came engaged in conversation, and soon
after left the burial grounds arm in arm.

Sinnie Pippin is yellow-haired girl,
tall and wiTy, about nineteen years old,
and weighs about lie pounds. She runs
in the woods with Fayette Ander son,
and they liye together more like Indians
than white people. As soon as Fayette
gets hold Of any plunder, Siunie comes
to town and sells it for him, and buys
coffee, cartridges and such things as he
needs, and goes back into the woods,
and they start out ON another expedi-
ton. Once they commit robbery they
start off as fast as they can through the
woods, sleeping in the day and travelling
in the night. until they get into another
county or across the Kentucky line. but
always manage to get good way from
the robbery before people commence to
hunt for them.
Anderson's plan is to meet a man
travelling along the road, find out what
be can by talking to him friendly like,
and If he thinks the stranger worth rob
bing, he will take short cut through
the woods and be waiting in the bushes
VIXEN the stranger passes along the road

Anderson has pistol muzzle against his
temple. and is going through him with
his left hand. Sinnie. his girl, makes it
hard to capture him, because she lies
around the towns in Putnam, Smith and
Overton counties, and gets all the news
and carries it to him. This keeps him
posted and puts him on his guard.
Why don't we capture Sinnie Pippin
You ask, Well, we had her in jail, but,
being a woman. we couldn't get any
thing against her. so we had to turn her
out on the range again, and this precious
pair keep robbing and running BY night,
and sleeping in the woods or mountains
by day, and there is no way Of doing
anything to stop them.

GAVE CITY.
A Once Prosperous Little Town
Men who Died with Their
Boots en-The Cave.
corr. arssnvills bulletin.

Cave City is in the eastern part
OF Calaveras county. 1t once
contained 1000 inhabitants, but
on the failure OF the gravel
mines. the population diminished
as in other mining towns, till at
present the "City" consists of a
hotel, saloon and a haystack.
A few of the curiosities OF early
times still remain to the place.
One OF these is the graveyard on
the hillside above the town. 1t
contains 16 graves, 15 OF them
filled by men who died with their
boots on between 80 and SO.
The graves at one time were en-
closed by neat fences, but these
have rotted away like the bodies
they inclosed, and soon not q
trace Of the poor fellows will re-
main. Another Of the curiosities
is the great cave from which the
place took its name, and we'll it
may be called great, not only
from its extent, but from its great
beauty also. The cave has the
appearance ST having been at
some time1the subterranean OUT
'iet'of some large river or lake, as
it shows beyond doubt great
traces Of erosion by water. There
are twelve large chambers, with
narrow passages leading from
one to another. The roofs and
aides are covered with beautiful
formations. Many of them, three
feet in length are pendant from
the ceiling and glitter in the
lamplight like thousands Of dia-
monds. There is another cavern
near the town called the Skull
cave, but from this would ad-
wise my friends to stay away. It
was discovered by some Spaniards
in 1874; and the country was
named after it, the word Gala
veras 10 Spanish meaning skull.
The cave extends into the noun
tain side about 300 feet, and con-
tains over 100 human skeletons.
The Indians have no traditions of
how the skeletons were put there,
but think it was an old Indian
camp, and that in time OF war the
unfortunate wretches were shut
up in the cavern and perished for
want OF food and water. The
skeletons are scattered all around
as il the creatures had been
wandering about in the cavern
and fallen down and died. / am
told that when the cave was dis
covered several skeletons were
found on the outside, and also a
number Of flint arrow points and
other Iudian weapons. All
around the place has death-like
appearance. and any ono who
goes there oncevwili never want

At the inquest on the body Of William
Everhart the Coroner's physician testi
fed that the man had been accustomed
to eating his food like wild beast and
that he had died from stranguiation. 1t
was shown that for the last twenty five
years he had refused to eat either meat
or vegetables except in their raw state
When piece OF raw meat was thrown
to him he wouid pounce upon it like .
hungry wolf and tear it apart with his
teeth. His wife said that he often asked
her for some raw meat.
'1f laid any raw meat ON the table.
she continued, "he would eat it up. Ht
often went for days without anything te
eat; but when he became hungry he
would eat enormous quantities.
On last Sunday he had attempted to
swallow big piece Of raw meat, which
lodged in his windpipe and caused his
death.

AS everything connected with George
Eliot is of deep interest, will briefly
narrate the account George Henry
Lewes gave me and my wife some
twelve years ago of the first essay of the
author of "Adam Bede" in fiction,
which confirms Miss Blinds anecdote
in her George Eliot" He was calling
on us here, and IN the course of talk he
said to Mrs. Macquoid, I'VE always
take an interest in your work, apart
from its merit, because of the likeness
of the circumstances which induced you
and Mrs. Lewes to write. Would YOU
like 20 hear how my wife beganP" He
then went on To say, 1--WE were living
at Richmond. / had more than once
asked her to try If she could write iic-
ton, but she always said she did not
think she had power TO do it. One day
went to town early. When | came

Tarring Seed Corn.

The following remedy for the exclu.
sion of crows and blackbrds from
young corn rs soon as it comes up, with
which we were familiar more than
thirty or forty years ago, has been re-
Gently published in some of the papers
as new. But old or new, it is quite
efficient. First heat the corn with hot
water by pouring the water over it, and
then adding pine-tar at the rate of half
q pint to bushcl of seed; stir briskly till
the seed is all coated with tar, and then
pour off the water. To prevent sick
ing to the fingers, add plaster. and stir
the whole together. If plaster is not
to be had, use sifted road dust. The
water should not be boiling hot, but
rather hotter than most persons can
hold the hand in-say about 400 or
1909. We have never found any other
remedy so easy as well as efficient. 1t
is now too late in the season for most of
our readers who are not familiar with it
to apply this year, but it will answer
well in future, and may still do for the
more northern parts of the country.
The tar is sometimes applied without
the water, but this mode requires more
tar, the seed becomes more difficult to
handle, and the tar frequently retards
or prevents termination when covering
the seed SO heavily. The water and
heating cause the tar to coat the whole
surface like fine and delicate varnish.

Sherman's FOrgetfulness.

Gen. Sherman is one of the most pop.
ular men in Washington, judging by
the demand for him at social entertain
ments. He rarely, if ever, dimes at
home. AS he goes out so regularly, he
sometimes forgets where he is to 90.
The other night he came out on his
doorstep in great hurry. He was in
dinner dress, but hesitated after he
came out of the door. Mrs. Sherman,
who was in the hall, asked what was
the matterP
"By George" said the General, II
was to 60 to dinner somewhere tonight,
and to save my blanked blessed life l
have forgotten where"
Mrs. Sherman came to the door. and
pointing to old Gen. VanVliet, who was
going quietly up the street, said: "There
goes Gen. VanVliet. He is generally
at dinner where you are invited. You
follow him and go in where he does"
''By George, what a splendid idea i
can't miss it following that lead. Van
Vliet can be trusted to smell out the
dinner places"
Away sailed Tecumseh, and as he did
not return it was safe to conclude that
he was fortunate in finding the right
place. -ED.

THE FARM.
Saving Glover Seed.

A correspondent advocates the follow
lug method of saving clover seed, which
he has put in practice in his own farm
ing.
my favorite plan is to cut with Q
moving machine, followed by the horse.
rake raking into small punches, one
swath at time; this is followed by a
hand with a good four tined fork lifting
the punches out of the way of the re-
turn of the machine and Mt the same
time making them into such shapes that
they may be picked up with one motion
of the fork when it is to be taken in.
BY this way of cutting, raking, and set
ting out of the way, no horse machine
nor rake will tread on or run over the
seed to shatter off and waste it. Do this
cutting, raking, ETC., before the clover
has become dead ripe or while damp and
tough on cloudy day, or mornings and
evenings. Then when dry enough haul
to the barn, if barn is to be had; if
not, do the next best thing and stack or
rick it up, building the sides up straight
or projecting; do not draw in any nor
depend on the clover for protection from
rain or snow, but top out with plenty of
straw or hay of some other kind, or
clover, with good roof of boards.
Then during cold, dry weather in the
winter with a good huller proceed TO
hull and save the seed and do n good
job in this last step, and depend upon it
you will have about all the seed you
have grown, as there is little or no chance
for any to Waste. Don't depend on
tnrashing and hulling from the field, as
this can only be done successfully in the
afternoon of dry days and this will make
it too tedious and expensive"

Breeding or Raising Poultry.

A Texas correspondent of the Amcri-
can Poultry Journal makes the follow
ing very pertinent remarks on the differ
ence between breeding and simply rails
ing poultry:
There is wide difference between the
breeder of poultry and the person who
simply raises poultry. There are hum
dreds of persons raising thoroughbred
poultry, who know nothing of the prin-
ciples of mating their fowls; they make
up, perhaps, their breeding pens with
so many hens TO cock without any idea
as to their affinity, or relative qualities,
and yet they advertise themselves as
breeders. Many make no selections ut
all, but put all to breeding, sell and
hatch eggs promiscuously, from one
year TO another, and when they offer to
sell eggs at one dollar n setting, the or
binary purchaser will wonder why some
people will ask from $3.50 to So for n
setting of eggs from the same variety
of fowls, and In mos. cases they will
buy eggs from the poultry raiser. and
not the breeder. | find, how
ever, that The better class of people can
see the difference rs soon rs they visit
the yards. The proper mating
of the breeding stock is the most inn
portant principle connected with the
breeding of poultry, and yet | will ven
ture to say, that it is less studied and
experimental with than any other mat
ter connected with the profession
Breeders nc n rule will select what they
consider the best specimens they have,
but to give reason why they place a
certain cock or cockerel in pen with
given lot of hens and pullets, not one in
twenty can do il. They take chances
of raising nice fowls out of large num-
Der, and still they will claim in their
advertisements that they are mated for
the best results. True they hope tohave
the best results, but are unable to give
n reason for the faith within them.
