The Power of Reasoning.

A New York man, while in police
court had his attention directed to a
culprit whose ferocity of face and bel
ligerence of manner were indeed strlk-
ing This fellow was the keeper OF
concert hall of the lowest grade, and he
had been arrested for beating one OF
his mattresses.
sIt doesn't seem possible that he has
an atom of reason in his beastly make, "
commented the visitor.
The Justice asked the woman where
the prisoner had hit her, and she
showed a lump at the back OF her head,
remarking: ''He always slugs us be-
hind the noodle" A fine of $40 was
imposed and paid. The visitor hurried
to the rascal. IN.

the woman said you never hit any OF the
mattresses except at the back OF the head.
Would YOU mind telling me why"
because 1 amt no chump," was the
ouick response. "What for would L
whack 'em in the snoot, or anywhere
that would disfgger them. Do you
think I want to be bOardin' a lot of
wimmen what are no value2 Hit 'em
in the face and you have to keep them
out of sight a week-eatin' their heads

Going Into Battle.

Said a veteran officer the other day !:
81 don't believe any man ever went
into battle without feeling frightened
know l never did. I'll tell you when
man feels real badly. It's when he is
forming his men into line for big battle
while little skirmishing fire is kept up
all the time. Every minute or so some
one, maybe your best friend, standing
right next to you will shrek out. ''Oh,
my God" and fall back dead, yet you
cannot let your men fire, for the army
must be drawn up first. There is plenty
of time to think. You don't dare to re-
taliate in any way. The next bullet
may find your heart, and your children
will be left fatherless. 1t is a moment
that tries the bravest man, because he
has to stand quietly and take it ALL But
when the order comes to fight and the
excitement of the battle arises, fear
passes away. You have something to
do. You have duty to perform at any
cost. Bullets drive into the ground at
your feet, sending up little clouds of
dust; they whistle past your ears and
maybe cut holes in your clothing.
Shells and shrapnel kill your comrades
and leave you living, and soon there
comes feeling that some good fortune
has preserved you and will protect you,
and the desire to do as much damage to
the enemy alone fills your mind. That
was my experience in the army, and
/ don't believe that the man lived who
did not feel at the commencement OF
fight that he would rather be some
where else,"

Massachusetts, Cranberry BOgs.

Mr.. James Webb, of Cotuit, probably
manages more cranberry bogs than any
other man In the State.
"Mr. Webb, how many acres of swamp
are now devoted to cranberries within
ten miles of Middleboro"
II shouln think that there were about
600 acres which are now under cultiva-
ton and in process of making. These bogs
are worth about $400 an acre, all made,
although bog that is vined sells for
81, 600.
'Is the business proftablew
'Proftable2 Look at these figures.
There is bog down in Mashpee of five
acres which cost 81, $40, and the sales
last year for that alone were 81 1894,
which 1 call good per cent. l know
of a two-year-old bog that paid IA pei
cent. last year, and bog isn't called in
bearing condition until it Is three years
old. There is the Abigail Brook bog on
Mashpee Neck of 12 acres, and we sold
last year 500 barrels of berries from it,
for which we received S., 4S5.95, with
profit of about 72 per cent. The New
town bog in Cotuit of Is acres cost
$780, Between 1857 and 1882 forty
nVe Thousand Sl8 uuUuIsu dOlldlS PlOhe
was divided between the owners. Some
bogs have paid 200 per cent"
"What are your relations to these bog
owners?"
II build bogs and sell them for my
self, and also build and manage fol-
other parties. / now have in hand about
400 acres in nine different bogs. have
just bought, near Attleboro, on the old
Morton furnace lot 81 acres, which am
making, and shall get $425 an acre for.
l have large gang at work on the bog
now, and hope to have it ready for vines
by another spring"
"What part of Massachusetts Is the
best for cranberries2"
don't think it makes much difference
about the location Somehow or other
the Massachusetts berry stands ahead Of
all others. They raise berry in New
Jersey, but just as soon as the Cape
berry goes on he market they are obliged
to draw out and wait until the supply
ceases. The Jersey berry is inferior in
size and color. l have made up 400
acres of bog since l have been in the
business, which is about seven years. y

What They Would Like to DO.

The San Francisco Alta California
says: A party of Cheyennese, who are
old-timers and have seen cities grow on
the rivers, and who have very little
to show for it, except memories of auld
lang syne, were sitting around table in
a back room the other night talking
about what they had done and what
they would like to do.
II wished | had that drawer full of
gold twenties," said one of them. ''Not
the little drawer; that big one on the
other side"
"What would you do with it9" asked
another of the party.
''Do with ita Why, I'd retire." he re-
piled.
''Retire from what2' savagely asked
yet another.
sorter retire; as it were"
''Yes, you'd retire to the Gold Room,
or somewhere, and come back here in
about three weeks asking me to set 'em
up. That's the way you'd retire"
''Now," said the first mantle one
who wanted the twenties. ''Now, the
fact is, that if 1 had all the money l
could use, I'd hunt me up valley in
Wyoming, where the land is good and
the water plenty, and I'd build a little
town, and on one block I'd put fine
row of tenements for all my friends to
live in, and the middle house should be
a splendid theatre, which would do for a
church on Sundays, and I'd have rail-
