Feed For Old Horses.

A pair OF old horses which cannot
keep in good condition on oats, as they
swallow them whole, have wintered in
excellent condition on corn. They
were fed corn in the ear so long as ii
lasted, and now they are doing equally
as we'll on it shelled. They are given
two quarts at feeding, getting six
quarts day with straw. One of them,
more than quarter of century old,
looks fine and does his share of the
work. He masticates the corn and
none oft is wasted in his excrement,
which would not be the case with oats.
Meal is the best for old horses, but l
like to save the trouble, and the mil
ler's toll if it can be done without loss.
When the spring work begins the most
economical and the best feed for this
team will be to cut their hay and mix
meal with it. Rye meal is the cheap
est and they will be fed on it with a
little ground oats and oatmeal. An
old horse which had the heaves badly
was fed one spring nothing but oats
soaked and swelled in water. He
kept fat and did great deal OF hard
work. Three pecks day was all he
required. There was no trouble on
account Of the horse. If he had been
allowed to eat hay he could not have
worked at all.-Rural New Yorker.

The Republican Platform in Ohio.
Philadelphia Record.l

1t is not upon party platforms that
this of-year campaign in Ohio will be
made, but upon the record of the last
State Legislature. Among the acts
of this Legislature was the submission
Of prohibitory amendment to vote
of the people, and this action is hearth
" approved in the resolutions of the
Columbus Convention. By putting
the Scott License law in one resolution
and the proposition to submit a pro.
hibitory amendment in another, the
shrewd purpose is to catch all the
gudgeons in the political pool. The
liquor sellers are expected to eagerly
rush to the embrace Of the Republican
party and the Scott law in their dread
of a prohibitory amendment, and the
aquarians are already charged with
obstinate ingratitude if they refuse to
support the party which submitted
their question of prohibition to the
people. When Mephistopheles took
hold of the spigot in Auerbach's wine
cellar, his diabolical skill enabled him
to pour out for his guests every variety
Of liquor from the same cask. The
design Of the magician of Mansfield
in this platform is to afford something
for the qualification of all tastes in
Ohio from rum to rain water But he
has over reached himself in his cum
ming. The customers who want rum
suspect he has nothing to offer them but
rain water; and those who insist only
on rain water suspect that his platform
smells horrably Of rum. When sub
jected to close inspection, the Ohio plat.
form is found to be o bad compound
of rum and rain water.

The Gases Against Frank james.

GALLATIN, Mo-, June 19.-The cases
against Frank James for murder in con-
nection with the CALLAHAN bank robbery
fourteen years ago, and the Winston
train robbery in 1881 were called to-day
and upon application of the defense
continued until August 20. The de-
fense asked the continuance on the
ground that their witnesses might not
be able to arrive for several days on ac-
count of the interruption of travel by
freshets. The States counsel was pres
ent with Mrs. Sarah Hite and three oth-
er witnesses from Tennessee, whose
presence was evidently surprise to the
defense. Mrs. Hite was prepared to tes-
tify to conversations among the James
boys and others at her house implicat-
ing them. Dick Liddle is also here for
the prosecution. The plea of the de-
fense in continuance Is generally re-
garded as an excuse. The prisoner
seems in ordinary health, and the usual
large crowd was present eager for near
view of him. t

Knee Brooches Coming.

"You may say what you please,
said fashionable tailor to reporter
of the World, as they looked at a com.
pany of stout fellows in bicycle uni
form, ''but kee breeches are the COM
ing things"
tsThat depends upon the size of the
legs in the future perhaps"
-s.sBy no means. It's bound to come,
slim calves or fat ones / tell you the
long legged trouser business has seen
Its day. The most troublesome thing
about making a pair of trousers Is to
get a fit at the foot. There isn't one
man in ten who has foot upon which
trousers leg will fall and bend grace
fully. The instep is too low or too
high, the foot is too long for the size
of the leg or too short; something is
the matter nine cases out of ten. Then
there's the matter of knees, which has
caused more men to commit suicide
than women or wine ever did. To
have trousers that bag at the knees
is anything more maddenlng? Yet
bag they will. Yes, l knew that knee
breeches lost in the contest that arose
about this subject fifty or sixty years
ago. But that made no difference.
That was time Of boots and thin
calves. Nobody wears boots now
And our legs have got bigger. Men
have to wear garters anyhow to keep
their socks up-a sort of a male COM
promise kind of garter. Why not
be honest, and wear d real honest gar
ter?"
"But Oscar Wilde and Miss Kate
Field tried to start this Doom.
"That's the reason it didn't go. No
body but dudes would do what Wilde
did, and the spindle shank dudes don't
want kneebreeches, Of course. l
should say notl Miss Kate Field
what does she know about it? She
do any thing but talk, and
men weren't going to show their legs
just because she wished to see them.

take up the boom, and it'll go. You
may count on the tallors. They're
tired of this ankle trousers kind of

THE NORTHWEST
The Protective Tariff Protects Only
the Rich.

The Illinois coal miners seem TO for
get that there is--a high, prohibitive
tariff upon coal which affords ample
protection for labor. They are carry
ing banners, inscribed with this
strange device, Bread or Blood. in
apparent ignorance of the fact that
their labor is amply protected. By
consulting the revised statues of the
United States and the recent tariff act,
they will find that they can not stand
in need of bread, and hence can not
want blood. ltis strange phenome-
ma that man will sometimes think he
wants thing when it is demonstrable
by legal enactment, printed in good
bold type, that is the very thing he
can not possibly want. What the
Illinois miner want is to repent of
their doubt and to sing the praises of
protection to coal which secures them
with wages to buy bread, and pro-
tects them against the pauper coal and
labor of Europe and Canada.

said the wife stretching her head out

mans on the platform as the train drew
up. Soon the fathers and mothers led
the way off the train, carrying the big
bundles, the children following with
the dozen of little packages. As they
struck the platform brothers and sis
ters and fathers and children came to-
gethei in long embrace. Every eye
was dimmed with tears. Every voice
faltered and every throat choked with
emotion. 1t was the pother OF great
Joy. But soon they wiped their tears
away and began to laugh and pat and
smooth each other on the back. Then
the Kansas Germans led the way
across the street to hotel where q

peased. In two years these German

"There was greater fear OF, but less

the July Harper's, ethan his relative

illustrative of the state Of feeling with

in town in Connectieut. = IT was be-

Tuesday morninga lnap, evidently
stranges in this part OF the country,
entered saloon on Main street, threw
down an American dollar and called
for drink. The barkeeper waited on
him and handed back Mexican dollar.
The man looked first at the dollar and
then at the barkeeper, then in tone
of surprise he asked: "ls this all
right, stranger2" The barkeeper an
swered In the affirmative. The man
gazed around in point blank astonish-

Where Bread is Cheap.

1t was sad, sad sight, in which
was blended tears and laughter. On
the Santa Fe train was large family
Of Germans. There were father and
mother, brothers and sister, and raft
Of little ones. Some were able to
crawl up and sit on seat, others were
still at the breast. They we're all
bound for the Neosho Valley. All
were tired, hungry, and worn out,
from a four weeks passage. They
had left crowded Germany, where they
had been struggling for an existence,
and they were going to their new
home in the New World. When the
children cried for meat or something
better than the stale black bread the
mothers hushed them and told them
that they would soon be at Plymouth,
beyond Emporia, where they would
meet Uncle Heinrich and aunt Lena,
and when they got out onto the farm
they would all have meat and milk.
30, it will be heaven said one Of
the women, ito live in country where
our children can have all the milk and
meat they want!' aa
AS the train passed Emporia, Kan,
the poor Germans began to raise the
windows and admire the beautiful
country along the Santa Fe Road. The
next station was to be the long hoped
for new home. The mothers, wreathed
in smiles, began to wash the childrens'
faces for the last time. Then when
the rosy-cheeked children were fixed
they took white handkerchiefs out of
their bags and put them around their
own necks. Poor women, they had
but one dress on earth, but as they
were gong to see brothers and sisters
