A Change Of scene.
LeadvIlle (Coi. Democrat.

Leadville (Col.) Democrat.
Anderson Trainer is an old man and
he has not many years left TO spend on
earth, He has been IN Leadyille but
a few months. He came here from
Virginia City, New, to see if be could
not once more prevail on the fates to
smile on him. He was at one time
worth his hundreds Of thousands, end
was in fair way to be as rich as
Mackay His mining investments all
came ont proftably and it seemed as
If everything he touched turned into
gold. He grew reckless with his good
fortune and got to making wild in
yestments, because he thought he
could not lose, At last he tempted
fate too far, and he met with reyerses.
This made him desperate instead Of
checking him in his wild speculations.
One day he made big stock deal and
lost heavily. He finally got TO gamb-
ling, and by succession Of bad luck
and bad management he found HIM
self after awhile as poor as when he
began lie as miner. Since his ar
rival in Leadville he has been talking
of his lost fortune and looking for an
opening where he might retrieve his
lost thousands; but he is too far gone.
The poor old fellow is penniless, old,
and growing decrepit, but he still
likes to talk Of the days when he could
draw check for thousands and have
il honorod on presentation, He can
now be seen around the saloons, where
he likes to tell crowd Of listening
admirers of what he was and what be
had years ago.

To Ghess-C arley Company, New Orleans;
GESgLENEE-My grocery store was burned
up on Sunday night, 10th inst. The building
was destroyed and my stock was entirely
consumed. In one corner of my store stood
a 4O-gallon oil tank half full OF your cele-
brated Fire Proof on beside It was another
oil tank, same size and about same quantity
OF ordinary coal oil in It, The fire ragged
about one hour, during al Of which time
your Fire Proof Oil remained In the burning
st9re without igniting, though the faucet of
the tank was partially melted on by the heat.
The coal oil in the other tank exploded and
iEnited shortly after the fire commenced.
I now send you the ehaTTed tank, with the
oil IN it, as an evidence Of the safety and re-
liability Of " Fire Proof Oh, /" to which am
at any time ready to verify. Yours truly,

MARSHAL Ney.
ANOTHER STORY ABOUT HIS LIVING IN
AMERICA,

AROThhh STORY ABOUT HIS LtNlhH IN
AMERICA,
New York World.
MooKsvlLLE, N. O., May Sin the
year Of 1929 there came to Dayie
county q man calling himself Peter
Stewart Ney, who possessed a fine
military bearing, had some means, and
gave much evidences of education as
to enable him to open and carry on a
school for boys during space of over
twenty years,
He spoke French we'll, English bro
kenly, was accomplished and skilled
in the use of the sword and all war
like weapons, and his ability as a
teacher has rarely been equaled in
these parts. He commanded the re-
speet and gained the love of his pu-
pills to an eminent degree, A long list
of men noted as jurists and scholars,
as soldiers and statesmen, could be
given who were taught by this man,
about whose life and manners there
was enough mystery to justify many
reports,
He lived in close intercourse with
the people of the neighborhood of
Mocksyille for twenty-five years; only
once when sober and cool did be claim
to be other than what he appeared; on
this occasion, overcome by the kind
ness Of Mr.. Houston, with whom he
then lived, who tried to console him
during his deep distress on the aces
sion Of Louis Philippe to the throne
of France in 1880, he confessed that
he was in truth, what many firmly be-
lieyed-that eminent parsonage, Mar
shal Ney. He gave as a reason for
coming to the backwoods of North
Carolina that if he stayed near city
he might have been recognized aud
assassinated, besides bringing ruin on
bis friends in France, who had Fisked |
SO much in assisting him to escape,
1t was currently reported that after |
the overthrow of Napoleon, Ney, who |
was supposed to have been shot for
treason on December II, 1915, really |
only feigned death, and was saved by |
The collusion Of his old soldiers, who |
had been detailed to shoot him that
they fred blank cartridges and after
wards assisted him to escape to Amer
ca, where be arrived in January, 1915.
There are some papers now in the
possession Of a professor of note in
This State, written by the yeritable
Ney, and others by P. s. Ney, of Da-
vie. These have been compared by
experts, who declare that the same
hand penued both.
When this poor schoolmaster heard
Of the death Of tho Duke of Reich
stadt, Napoleon's son, be burned
great many papers and endeaYored TO
destroy his sWord, which he had al
ways kept with him. He did break it,
and it is probable that the hilt of that
Iword, which added SO much to the
lictories of Napoleon in the hands of
he greatest cavalry leader the world
las ever seen, is now in possession of
! North Carolina farmer.
The great Ney had received ghast-
y sabre cut on his forehead and. his
over limbs were wounded, having
,een run over by troop Of cavalry;
hqs Peter Stewart Ney always combed
lock Of hair over an unsightly scar
n bis forehead and it is known from
eliable witnesses thar bis lower limbs
vare terrihlu masbad and acarred

Bulletin No. from the Missouri state col
lege farm brings further reports of tests made
by Prof. SRnborn to determine the movement
of moisture in cultivated fields during the
growing season. Two sheetiron pipes six
inches in diameter wero driven into the soil
to tho depth Of six inchoe, ono of the pipes
with its earth enclosed being furnished with
O wooden bottom, driven under it from out.
side after the pipe was fixed in place, the soil
in the other pipe being without such 'cut-oG'
from the earth below. The tests were carried
on during the months of September and Oc-
tobor, the weather being generally Iainlese.
BY repeated weighing Of soil taken from
the upper two inches, and the second two
inches, and dried by artificial heat to deter
mine the per cent of moisture each contained,
it was shown that in every case the surface
contained more moisture in the early morn
ing than in the previous evening, and also
that in eyory caso but one, Ga very foggy
morning, the upper two inches contained less
moisture than the second two inches. The
Inference Is that the surface soil of cultiva.
ted fold is constantly giving up moisture in
dry weather night and day, and that the mois.
turo is drawn upward 10y capillary action from
the soil beneath. In evidence OF this it was
found that the earth in the Pipe with board
bottom in no case lost SO much water by dry
ihB 40 sio Vohth III tho llpo uhNlub uoluluB
to interrupt the upward movement of the
moisture through the soil
These tents appear TO contradict the old
theory, so often advanced that cultivating
soil deeply in dry weather keeps it damp by
attracting and absorbing the humidity Of the
atmosphere during the night 1t would seem,
therefore, that when the bousekeopcrs clothes
hung upon Il limo to dry during the night, are
found in the morning to have given up their
moisture, or portion of it, to the surround
ing atmosphere, the earth too has boon Civ
ing up its moisture to the air, and that under
such conditions tho deeper and moro frequent
ly soil is stirred in u dry time, the dryer
that soil will become. The preventive meas
ure, as previously recommended by Prof
Stockbridge, il to cultivate tho surface only
in dry time, say ono or two inches deep, in
order to keep the ground covered by o thin
coat of soil, SO thoroughly dried that it cannot
readily conduct off the moisture from below.
Stirring tho surface lightly disturbs capillary
attraction, and prevents tho moisture from
rising to the surface to be absorbed by the
night air Deep cultivation in dry weather
it is claimed oxpoues the earth to tho absorb
ing action of the air
