GOLD IN VIRGINIA.
From the Wall Street News. !


A West Virginian, who had more
mountains OH his farm than was good
for his crops, suddenly "discovercd"
the presence of gold in paying guam
titles at certain spot, and within n
week had sold his forty acres for SlO,-
600. In about another week the buyer
came around and said: :,
"Uncle Josh, believe you to be Il
Christian man."
"Yes, hope am.''
"And you wouldn't lie?'
"i hope not. !"
"Well, now, we've got all the gold
there is on our farm, and there ism't
$500 worth. Answer Inc truly, did you
salt it?" ..
''As true as live didn't" answer
ed the old man.
The lawyer went away convinced Of
the old mans innocence, but his coat
tails were yet in sight when Uncle Josh
turned to his wife and said:
"Golly, couldn't believe the Baptist
religion had any clause in it requiring
me to tell him that your brother had
been here from California, and that we
divided the $40, 900 even up"

HOW BEN HARDIN FOOLED DALITERA-
BY SOCIETY.
From the Cleveland LEADER

"Ben Hardin was brilliant fellow,
and he had strong sense of humor.
When he was elected to congress in
1915 he had already served several
terms in the Kentucky legislature, and
was noted throughout the state asa
lawyer. He started, however. for
Washington dressed in the rough cloth
ing on frontier state, and he wore
the SLOUGH hat and the long buff over
coat OF the west. AS he was passing
through Virginia two young smart
looking fellows overlook him and fell
into conversation with him. Hardin
saw at their first words that they took
him for greenhorn, and he put on
such manners and accent as to confirm
their illusion. The meeting took place
within few miles of the town where
they were to stop for the night. In the
course oftlle conversation the young
bloods told him there was to be liter
airy society meeting that night, and =
that If he would attend he might hear
some fine speaking, and at this point
one ofthem, slyly winking to the otner,
said: "And perhaps, stranger, you will
join the debate yourselfl"
IL don't know" replied Hardin. "I
have spoke some in old Kaintucky.
What mought yourquestiOn be%
The question was not new to him, 1t
was one OF the leading ones of the day,
a political issue upon which he was
thoroughly posted. AS old Ben uar-
din heard it, however, he shook his head
and said: "Boys, you will hev to excuse
me OH tllet. aint up on thet subject.
Now, if it was whether pursuit was
better than possession, or some of our
old subjects, allow I'd tackle ye. But
about this yere politics don't know"
Alter much persuasion, however, he
promised the young men that he would
attend and he ''would say suthin' any
how" The party separated at the ho-
tel, and the young fellows went off
laughing ut the fun they expected to
have that night. They told their friends
and i'll short time the whole town
Knew OF the green Kentuckian's arri-
val, and when the literary society
opened every seat was filled. The ex-
erclses went off quietly until the debate
commenced, when every one looked at
Hardin. He sat quietly until the
close. The two young fellows made
their speeches, and very fair ones, too.
AS the second one closed and Mr.. uar-
din arose, each one in the audience
nudged his neighbor, and every face
was ready to smile. Their expressions
changed, however, as old Ben took up
the subject and treated it most eloqucnt-
ly. He tore to pieces the speeches of
the young fellows who had tried to
play the trick on him, and as he was fin
lshing the two were so bored that they
got up and left. He referred to them
as they went and closed after an elo-
quent peroration by telling the society
that he was Kentucky member of
congress OH his way to Washington.
AT this the society gathered round him
and wanted to shake his hand. He
chatted with them for while, and tho
remainder of his visit was an ovation.
The whole town came out to the hotel
the next day to see him off, and the
smart young fellows were the laughi. g
stock of all.

ANSWERED..
From the Rockville Und.) Tribune.


Will Bcadle, of the Rockville Tribune
explain how free trade can advance
the price of wheat?--[ Frankfort Ban-
ner. Fl .+.r.. 80 81
He will: he will. Here is Cuba begging
the privilege of trading us cheap sugar
tor wheat, and here is Guinea produ-
cling the purest sugar in the world ai y
net of two cents Il pound, and asking To
trade it to us for wheat. They cannot
raise wheat in those countrics-too hot.
When Demerara sugar was untaxed, it
retailed in Rockville at six to seven
cents pound. "A bushcl OF wheat un-
der free trade bought fifteen pounds of
pure sugar; now it buys ten pounds OF
dirty glucose. In the name of God and
common sense, why should not hot
countries raise sugar, and cold ones
raise wheat, and make u free exchange?
He who sets up ali industry out of it's
place, invites nature to he his cOmpe;-
itor, and fights against God.

Her Bonnet. .

LFrOm the Century :Rrlc-a- BraS.''l
When meeting-beis began TO toll,
And pious folk began lu pass,
She drftiy tied her bonnet on,
Tie iIiIl.., sober meeting lass,
All IN her neat white curtaIned room, before
her tiny looking glass
So nicely, round her lady cheeks,
She snOoihed her bands OF glossy hair,
And innocentiy wondered il
Her bonnet did not make her fair;
Then sLernly child her foolish heart for harbor-
ing such 1ancies there.
So square she tied the satin strings,
Aud set the bows beneath her chm;
Then smiled to see how sweet she looked;
Then thought her vanity sin.
And she must put such thoughts away before the
sermon should begin.
But, sitting meath the preached word,

She thought abont her b' met still,

About its pretty bows and buds which bette

But bafhing word aud pen
Since here within these long. perfected days,
Winch grace and beauty ill
Sucn clouds melt slowly IN the sun 3 arm rays,

How can we picture aught beyond more fair
The fragrant breath Of pine,
Inct nje from flowers that wave in summer air
Lakes bnruened with white lilies, half divine.
Can there be other, grander skies unseen2
Shall there De no more sea,
With lis wild sweep OF waves, Its changeful
sheen
And strange. weird melody?
Could We but break the silence and unvall
The world that lies near,
Would not the present prove u weary tale
We would net pause 10 hear.
Aye, it Is best, but still the asking soul
Would lam send buoyant wings,

And whence such glory syringe!

Ani round our pleasant summer dwelling roam

Though he is volatile and fast,
His ieet are slim as pegs
How can his reck less motions last
Upon such slender legs?
Below him lazy beetles creep;
He gyrates round and round
One moment vaulting in leap,
The next upon the ground!
He hops amid the fallen twigs
So agile in his gl.e,

With no one near to seei
He tpInbles up, be tumbles down!
And from his motley hue,

How Sugar Cane Grows.

From the New-Orleans Times Democrat e
Sugar cane grows during about five
and q half months. 1t makes its ap-
pearance say on the 1st of April, and
by the 10Th of September it has done
reaching upward. In that time it grows
or ought to grow IL feet, counting the
white joints and the top flag or tuft.
On the LIST of July it is some 4 feet high,
SO that from then until the 18th of Sep
TENDER it grows Sc inches. During
August, however, it reaches the largest
rate of increase, the ordinary growth
during that month under favorable
conditions being 40 inches. August is
known as the growing month";" It is
then that cultivation is over and the
ground thoroughly shaded by the TO-
iage. 1t is then that the daily showers
stimulate the process of vegetation un-
til one can almost literally see it" shoot
upward. 1t is OF clear, still nights
during this month that you can hear
that light cracking sound all over q
healthy field of It is the month
when, instead of growing three-fourths
OF an inch per day. good cane ought to
grow n inch and q half.
