shape, and receipts are out for tobacco not

the State Republican Executive committee,
accusing Brady of taking what funds the Re-
publicans had during the last presidential
election, and opening Hancock and English
headquarters here. This information, Paine
claimed, to have gotten from Young. Young
denounced Paine as liar. This led to the

A POKER PARTY.
Careful Play of a Silent Stranger Who
Won Updegraft's Money.


s'YOu look like a walking bolster,0 said
Mr.. Updegraft, who entertained our poker
party last night, as his friend, Mr.. Pa
latka, sauntered in seasOnably, clad in a
seersucker suit of clothes. 81 suppose
you got that on tick eh?'
Mr.. Palatka smiled family and dropped
into a chair. The heat and the alleged
joke were too much for him. Mr.. Upde-
graft, with remarkable presence of mind.
restored him by producing a pack of
cards and offering to ''cut five times at a
dollar a clip.''
While the pair were thus engaged Mr.,
D. o. Ttllso, DR.. Hawk and third gentle
man entered. "Here's duffer who wants
to play with us tonight" said the physi-
clan, playfully punching the strangers
ribs; che doesn't say much but keeps up
a constant thinking" The "duffer''
bowed most politely, and as if to carry
out the DOCTORS words, seated himself
without word.
Every one bought $40 worth of chips.
Mr.. Updegraft paused as he was tearing
the wrapper from new pack of ''steam-
boat" cards, and fixed his gaze intently
upon the stranger, who was working his
fingers intently. "Irather fear, my friend, -
said Mr.. Updegraft, mpathetically,
''that you are about to have them. Doc
tor, have you any bromide of potassium
with yOu?'
81 know this man thoroughly" replied
the doctor; she's all right"
The game went on and the taciturn gen.
tleman never uttered a syllable. When
he bet he sorted out the chips stacked up
before him and placed them in the centre
of the board so carefully that mistake
was impossible. When his hands were
called he laid them ON the table without
remark, and when they were not he slipped
them into the pack without comment.
''Jolly good company, isn't ~ sneered
Mr.. Palatka in perfectly audible tone,
after the man of few words had scOOped
in $40pOol on flush against Mr.. TellsO's
three aces. "JolIy good company; so full
of interesting anecdotes"
Mr.. Palatka might as well have inter-
viewed brick wall for all the responses
he got.
''1'll bet S1O!" cried Mr.. Updegraft in a
voice that might have walked the sleeping
policeman on the next corner. cpl bet
$40 on this hand"
The newcomer raised his eyebrows in
quiringly and Mr.. Updegraft got mad.
"Can't you hear?'' he yelled, pointing to
the Y he had put on the table. "PIl bet
that. Do you see itW
The stranger not only saw 1t but went
$50 more. Then, still silent, he counted
out his chips, had them cashed, put on his
hat and departed.
''WellV exclaimed Mr.. Updegraft,
''that man certainly obeys one rule of
poker-he talks as little as possible"
"He's deaf and dumb" murmured DIR.
Hawk, and the game went on as quietly
as it had begun.

when to Manure the orchard.

Patient and careful investigation has
led to the conclusion, says the Grange
Bulletin, that the first growth of the fruit
tree is formed almost wholly from the
materials stored up in the cells of the
wood by the previous seasons growth,
and that after midsummer another or Sec
ond growth begins, and that the best time
therefore to manure or feed the tree is
during the latter part of summer. A lib
eral dressing of well-rOtted barn-yard
manure scattered upon the surface during
the summer, as far at least as the tips of
the branches extend, will, under ordinary
circumstances result in a vigorous growth
of wood, and, if no untimely frosts occur,
a good yield of good sized fruit the next
season. If such a top-dressing could be
applied now or during the prevailing
drouth, it would first serve as mulch in
preventing evaporation from the surface,
and afterward become incorporated with
the soil, acting directly as manure.
Often the use of special manures, such
as will act quickly, are desirable For
this purpose, fresh, hard wood ashes are
excellent, containing, as they do, not only
an abundance of potash, but fair pro-
portion of phosphoric acid and small
percentage Of nitrogen. Unleached wood
ashes are, therefore, of great value to the
practical fruit grower, especially when
applied in the proper quantity at the
proper time.
After the trees come into bearing an
additional supply of phosphoric acid will
be needed, in which case finely ground
raw bone should be promptly applied
broadcast as early in the fall as possible.
There is difference in soils and the
relative amount of potash contained in
them. Clay soils nearly always have a
sufficient amount of potash, and what is
usually needed can be cheaply supplied
by using kainit German potash salts J.
Light, sandy soils, ON the contrary, are
more likely to be deficient in alkalies, and
the prompt application of muriate of pot
ash will prove paying investment.

SNAKES SHOULDER THEIR TAILS
Horrible Fate of Bear and Cubs on a
Burning Mountain.

Burning Mountain.
The past few nights, says a Lake George
letter to the New York Tribune, Black
Mountain, as if to add to the pleasure of
the guests on Lake George, has been pre-
senting a sight that, for grandeur and
magnificence, excels anything in the way
of pyrotechnics ever exhibited at Saratoga
or the seashore. The mountain rises 2, 400
feet above the lake. Across the spur
called "The Elephant" the forests have
been on fire for the past week. Broad
sheets of flame spread over the noun
tain's slopes, as if some fair leviathan
was waving her red silk handkerchief to
att ract the attention of a lover. The
mountain is overrun with various tribes
of small game, animals, birds, and, in
certain places, snakes. The fire has
spread across hundreds of acres and has
created a perfect pandemonium among
them. Startled creatures fill the air with
their cries of peril. They moan and wall
as if turned from an old homestead by the
cruel elements without dollar of lnsur-
1nce on their furniture. Larger birds,
like hawks and crows, soar above the
seething mass of burning pine and oak,
while the night air is filled with dismal
hOotings of huge owls. Occasional roars
of bears join the chorus, furnishing a
sepulchral bass to the grand aggregation
of discordant elements.
On Thursday afternoon, while some men
were engaged in combating the fire, they
discovered huge she-bear trying to stamp
out large burning log with her paws.
Two cubs followed the eXasperated ami
NAL, and as the mother madly beat the
hot embers with her shaggy paws, the
young ones whined like whipped children.
The heat was too much for the creature
and, with blood streaming from her lace
rated and baked feet, she beat a retreat.
The men pursued her but, gathering her
children, seven as hen gathereth her
Chickens" the sagaciOus beast soon put a
stretch Of fire between herself and the
pursuers. Her victory was but transient,
for moment later huge tree, burned off
at the roots, fell with a crash, knocking
her over precipice to the rocks, 400 feet
below. The misery of the orphaned cubs
was beartrending and their cries of agony
filed the air for a moment, and then both
went tumbling after their mother-and
became little bear angels.
Rattlesnake Den is situated on the north
end of Black Mountain. When the flames
reached that portion Of the mountain a
stream of rattlesnakes and black snakes
emerged from chasm, shOuldered their
tails and beat a hasty retreat for safer
quarters. The hideous reptiles fairly COW
cred the ground with their green and black
sinuous forms.
