night he saw bill Davis in the audience
singing "Safe in the Promised Land"
with great gusto, and called on him to
tell his experience.
Davis had quite a voluble tongue
when be got warmed up and he took
the floor at once. AS near as the writer
can quote from memory, his discourse
ran in this vein:
"Boys, since won my last match I've
been changed man. don't allude to
my big mill with Mike McCool in st.
Louis. l had bigger fight than that.
1t was square fight with the devil and
l won the stakes. [Applause.l The
devil used to bang me about as he
wanted to, until l made up my mind
to give him a rattle. | called on q
preacher in st. Louis. told him what l
wanted and put myself in training
under him. He worked me up IN good
shape and was In condition in few
months. When he worked the sinful
fat off me and got me down to my
fighting weight l felt proud of myself.
Well, l tackled my man, and it was the
slugglnist fight 1 ever had. McCool
was mere kitten alongside Of him. He
got my head in chancery good many
times, but managed to give him the
back fall every time and down him.
Some times he drove me to my corner
and wanted to throw up the sponge.
but my hacker, the little preacher han
died NE like dandy and wouldn't allow
me to weaken. Oh, boys, it was awful
work fer almost year. My wind was
giving out and | came up blind and
grOggy every round, but my sand held
good. Applause all over the room.l
The devil is awful in fight; his upper
<uts makes your teeth rattle in your
jaw like the end man playing the bones,
and his cross counters, oh Heavensl
His cross counters came in like pile
drivers.
"But | frightened my gospel belt and
my gamey little second kept telling me
that he was praying for me all the
while. He said l must let up on whs-
key or was gone. Well, quit drink

After the service he told Rev. Nc

Woman.

There are two things woman cannot
do: They cannot sharpen lead pencil
and they cannot be magnanimous.
I've had this idea for years. used
to fight for it when l went to school:
but l grew out of it when | got into
the world.
The pencil business she will concede
when forced into the corner, but the
magnanimity, never.
Men do succeed in disgusting them
selves in women's clothes occasionally,
but true woman, never. 1t is not only
because she is knock-kneed aud walks
with her toes turned out. The woman
organization Is deeper than that. Put
her in trousers and let her raise beard
and smoke cigarettes in smoking car,
and she will go out and leave the door
open IN the coolest weather expecting
somebody else to get up and shutit. All
the whiskers and pantaloons in the
world will not overcome that peculi-
arity.
It's sheer women.
I haven't been woman tweHty-eight
years for nothing.
I've had on mems clothes, too; that's
what want to tell about.
You will say that was more i'm
womanly than to walk out and leave
the door open.
Perhaps it was. Women have to lay
aside sometimes good deal Of super.
fuous weakness and nonsense.
The truth is the idea of women hav-
ing so much more sensibility than men
isn't good working hypothesis. II
don't work at all when you take a boy
and girl and put them before a room
full of people. The boy bushes, stam-
mers, trips over his own feet and wants
to dive into side room. But the girl
stands up like veteran. So on the
stage. Ask any manager.
Women have no fear Of an audience,
and they are ten times harder to guy
than men.

The Sports and the Stranger.

Three sports got into railroad car,
AIailroad car, with pack of cards;
They called "here" "hyar" and "there" was
"thar.
And they always spoke to each other as
"pards"
For sports there are both good and poor,
Professional and amateur,
Where railroad trains are running.
They wanted fourth at a euchre hand,
Three were they. and they were one short,
And they asked o stranger If he'd the sand
To try little game for sport.
For strangers there are where men abound,
And YOU always find a stranger round,
Where railroad trains are running,
The stranger didn't know the game,
But he was willing to live and learn;
To him the cards were all the same
"They was to all at first, he'd learnr
And the sports laughed loud and dealt the
pack,
And gave him four queens and thick legged
Jack,
As they will when trains are running.
Allu Iucu tncy uCI Oh tlO pOhOi MANU.
And fatted the pot to goodly pile,
And they asked the strangerif if he would stand
And the stranger stood, with simple smile.
And one sport raised the other two,
And the stranger him, as strangers do,
Where railroad trains are running.
And then, in a solemn. breathless hush,
The three sports showed what they had got
But aces won't beat aroyal flush,
And the stranger robbed that obese pot.
For strangers and sports are natural foes,
And the former carry cards in their clothes,
Where railroad trains are running

apOlogetically:

what for?" says the matron, briG-
ling instantly. They're harmin' no

Then he is squelched, and unable to
face the sentiment of the car, goes out
and talks tothe driver.
Where did that poor mechanic get
sensibilityP
If wasn't a woman wouldn't dare
to say all of this. Men never do. Why?
They're too magnanimous.
Did you ever go to police courtp
Isuppose not. Well, go there if you
want to study the sexes.
There is a popular notion that all
the abused wives fail to appear against
their husbands when the husbands are
arrested. That they forgive them and
take them back with tears, to be beaten
over again.
Who got up the idea?
Menl Newspaper men. Suppose you
ask some of the newspaper women
about iLp
They will tell you, If you can get
them in a candid vein. that, as a rule,
these women only love men that abuse
them. They have dull way Of wor-
shipping power when they don't and
can't worship anything else.
Whipping posts are mems invention
not women's If the women that is
the intelligent women-had their way
they'd have spanking posts put up
alongside of them.
Co-punishment ought to go hand iD
hand with co-education.
Why do l talk this way about my
sex?
Because my sex wants little whole
some truth told. 1t will do 'em good.
That's why.
Because if women are going to enter
mems felds-and they are-they ought
to have two or three of the manly vir-
tues in addition to their own, and mag
nanimity, as distinguished from vir-
tue, as opposed to sentlmentality, is
another.

What the women of America want
is more backbone and less morbid van
ity; more pride of sex and less pride of
person; more common sense and less
dry goods; and above. all, higher,
broader knowledge that there are
other people in existence besides them
selves.

his own plants to begin with, but they
will require much care and close atten-
ton. Soil must be kept moist, and no
weeds should be permitted in the bed.
Liquid manure, such as BARNARD leach
ings, will promote growth very much.
The plants should be started in q hot
bed, though the sashes should be re-
moved occasionally, to prevent scalding
or burning. Sometimes insects begin
their work when the plants are quite
young, but applications of soapeuds will
prevent their ravages. p.
The improved hives, which have taken
the place of the old cumbrous ones, that
were so awkward in handling and failed
to yield an equal supply of honey, when
compared to these remodeled ones, make
the care OF Bookkeeping much easier and
pleasanter. The small sections of honey
make the article much more salable than
formerly, though they require careful
handling. Altogether, with due care
and proper management OF this beauti-
full and interesting branch Of domestic
industry, the apiary should be found
upon dozen farms, where it is now
found on y upon one.
FARMERS have discovered that one
Jersey COW in the herd will color the
butter as yellow as carrots. They used
to CRATE them fine and churn these
gratings with the cream when the COWS
were fed on hay, and 80 get yellow
tinge to the butter. This carroty but
ter will not keep SO we'll with the vege-
table substance mixed in it, and, more
over, it is apt to be streaked. The milk
from the Jersey cow makes a uniform
color, and does not affect the keeping
qualities of the butter. It is not neces-
sary to have pure bred Jersey COW to
get this benefit. A high grade will do
as well, and even half blood, If strong
ly marked with the Jersey characteristic,
rich yellow milk.
IT is urged that an almost univer sal
fault on farms and III gardens IS want
of care as to keeping tools in working
order. Pruning knives and shears are
laid aside with the gum or wet sap upon
them, and without oiling; and when next
wanted they work stiff, cut badly, and
the effort to use them straining the
joints SO that they are almost useless;
while with slight timely care they
would do perfect work for a lifetime. In
some light, adhesive western soils it be-
comes an absolute necessity to keep
plOws bright, or they can not be used
second time at all. A pot of lard or oil,
with little rosin dissolved in it, affords
these an every-ready varnish, which, APP
piled to the surface polished by use,
keeps it bright for any length of time
by excluding air and moisture. In
heavier soils it suffices to wife the sur
face till clean and dry, and two or three
strips of old rug should be hung at
every Toulouse doer for that important

A Buried TemnIe

ln Buried in the sand, on the top of a
hill covered with dwellings,, the remains
Of the Temple of Jupiter at Pergamos
have been found in fine state of pre-
servation by the same industrious Ger
man arch@ologist who found rich treas
ures at Olympia. 'Some of the
plaques" says the Builder, ''haYe been
discovered as perfect as if they had been
wrought only yesterday. The indica-
tions recovered have been enough to
Justify a complete ideal restoration of
the temple. Portions have been found
of all the essential elements of the
building; columns, capitals, cornices,
entablatures, with indications OF the ex-
act dimensions of these main features,
and of the position which they occupied
in the building. Thus the idea has been
happily carried out Of making the mu-
scum for the exhibition of the Perga-
mos marbles reproduction of the tenn
pie from which they were sculptured.
The plan of the Temple of Jupiter. at
Pergamos, according to the German ex-
plOrers, differs from that of any ancient
temple hitherto known. The architect
has been the minister to the sculptor.
Instead OF having to display his figures
III lofty pedlmente, at distance from
the eyes, requiring some allowance for
fOreshOrtening, the sculptor has here
produced long internal frieze, which
was brought under close observation by
means of sort of gallery, reached by a
central staircase.

twelve years he would eat anything that
he could craln down his throat. He first
commenced eating the plastering from
the wall of his room, swallowing whole
sheets of 1t, until it became necessary to
cover the wall with sheet iron. A num-
Der of times he was found nearly suffo-
Gated, with a piece of blanket or CLOTH
hanging from his mouth, which would
develop into a strip yard or two long
when pulled out In bis bowels were
found plaster, dirt, rags aud mass Of
stuff that caused inflammation ana NOR
