Red Pepper for Stock.

By our Agricultural Editor.
1t does not appear to be generally known
among farmers what an excellent tonic and
appetizer red pepper is. 1t sgood for man,
beast, or bird. Its good effects when given
to poultry at this season is known to many
housewives, and some farmers know of it's
value when mixed with the slops and fed to
hogs. But how many farmers ever gave red
pepper to cattle, horses, and sheep? And
yet it is about as useful to them as to any
other animal. 1t possesses highly stimu-
lating and invigorating property, gives the
system tone and strength, renews the
appetite, and enables weakly animals to
move and feed with avidity. For sickly
stock there is, perhaps, no better medicine
1t may be given in bran, corn meal, or slops.
at the rate of a teaspoonful a day of the
ground article to single sheep or COW or
one fourth as much to fowl. But it is
sufficient in most cases to make of the whole
pods strong tea, and mix it in the feed, or
boil it in the Stops for the hogs Every fam
lily should use it largely, for it is as good for
mankind as for animals. Instead of the
black pepper, the home grown red pepper
should take its place, and some of it ought
to be on the table at every MONDAY meal.
Every family should raise it for domestic
use. Its value as preventive of disease is
beyond estimation. For song-birds that are
dull and dropping, little of it will be found
highly beneficial. Let every farmer grow
red pepper, and make liberal use of it among
his stock.-Petersbwg Inder-Appeal.
WHY Do They TREMBLE.--The North
seems just now rather panicy on the sub
ject of riots and mobs, and curiously-for
that very Republican, human equality, fra.

are free and equal-that section where the
protection of American labor and the good
of the laborer is a cherished doctrine-that
section where law and order, education and
morality, have for one hundred years been
spread broadcast, disseminated by the
school house and the town house, they are
just now afraid of the laborer, will not trust
the poor man-have an idea that bayonets
best enforce morality, and prefer strong
regiments to public meetings. What is
the matter with the only land of the free,
and which ought to be the home of the
brave? Are they afraid of a free people

Was Congressman O'Hara.

Capt. W. ]. Stones Marriage.

The war developed a great many
administering angels among the wo-
men of the South. Just after the
battle of Perryville, in this State, a
beautiful and accomplished young
lady Of Perryville, went out on the
battlefield oil mission of mercy, ac-
companied by gentleman friend.
She found the gallant Capt. Stone,
wounded apparently to the death.
She had him removed TO her fathers
house, and during the long months
succeeding, she bathed his throbbing
temples and soothed his fever. She
famed back into life the faint spark
of life-knowing nothing of him ear
ing nothing but that lie was soldier
boy in distress. Is it any wonder
Capt. Stone should become enslaved
by the charms of the sylph-likc form
that glided around his room during
the times of semi-consciousness? Or
is it any wonder that she should fall
in love with the pale, yet withal,
handsome soldier boy !? Suffice il to say
their troth was plighted and Capt.
Stone came home to build place for
his fair one. They were married a
few years later, and the young lady
has never had cause to regret having
saved the. life of a poor soldier boy

The doctor has ordered him to keep

his eyes unless he has to.
What is the matter with eyes?
That l don't know. They seem to
be gradually growing weaker and

them.

DYING BY SLOW DEGREE.
The Remarkable Fast Of Miss Kate

FoRT PLAIN, N. Y, Sept, 6.-Miss
Kate Smulsy, who has gone without
food for ITS days, is very low, but is
still conscious and talks. Mis- Smul-
sy was dress maker, and when able
to work had plenty TO do, She is 20
years of age and naturally bright and
intelligent. Two years ago last July
she was taken i'll, and was compelled
to remain in bed. She improved
somewhat, and was able to be about,
but in October was compelled again
to take her bed. and has never since
been able TO leave it. The first APP
proach of the disease was trembling
and shaking of the right hand, fol-
lowed by involuntary motion of the
right leg and foot. At length her
head had sidewise movement TO the
right. The doctors diagnosed the
case as st. Vitus' dance. The usual
remedies were applied, but with nc
benefit to the patient. She grew

Why Cleveland Was net a Sol
der.

When the war began the three
Cleveland boys had a family confer
cncc, at which it was declared that
two them should enter the Tn on ar
my, and one of them should remain
at home to support the mother and
the sisters. That was done and the lot
fell to Grover Cleveland. While his
brothers were battling for the Union
he was drafted and furnished sub
stitute, whom he paid out of his own
pocket. When the Legislature was
rcpayipg those who had furnished
substitutes at their own expense,
Grover Cleveland refused TO petition
for or TO receive any sum as rcim-
bursement. He was convinced that
it was his duty 10 keep his agree
ment with his brothers, that he
would care and provide for his moth
er and sisters, and he was Just so
much convinced that he should let
no authority, local or State, repay
him for a substitute whose service 8
he had paid for himself. These are
the facts and all the facts in the case
and whether they are creditablc or
discreditable readers can judge. Like
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Blaine was draf-
ted ; like Mr.. Cleveland he put in
and paid unlike Mr.. Cleveland, he
collected back from the state of
Maine the sum which he paid out for
that substitute. The difference be
tween the two cases is manifest. 1t is
as marked as the difference between
the two men. n.-Albany Argus.

Hiram Hill, The Diver.

A Courier reporter met Mr. llir-

not heard of Hiram Hill, the diver.
Scarcely boat has met with disas-

have not been called upon to aid in
recovering the wreck or pcrchancc as
in the present case, victims of some
disaster, and willingly has this noble
man responded to every appeal, and
his efforts beneath the waves have in
variable been crowned with success.
Mr.. Hill is not tall man, though
stoutly built. lie is one Of those
sturdy old oaks " no never grow. old
but gather fresh roots and strength
with each succeeding yeas matu.i y.
< heavy beard covers his face, but
there CLEANS forth sparkle of life
and hustle, yet guarded by a manner
of self-determination that cannot fail
to attract one. His interest in wreck
ing is evidenced by his disregard of
orders to report TO the bridge and his
incessant labor at the Belmont. lie
has been wrecker since 1917, if we
mistake not, and is well verscd in all
matters. Speaking of the wreck, he
said, We went down over the side
anl crawled through the cabin and
missed no corner in which some
poor victim may have died, but all
our efforts were in vain. There wa
really no necessity for the search, bat

reporter.
Not as a rule. On sunshiny days,
however, with no shade To interfere

generally everything is darkness. A

There are three of these wrecking
