BRILLIANT GAME AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. Louis, Sept. 5.-The finest game of
ball played here this season was
that between the Detroits and Maroons
this afternoon, and it was witnessed
by only handful of people. Kirby, the young
local pitcher, of the home team, was very effect
i've, as was Baldwin, who pitched for the visitors.
The contest was series of brilliant plays,
and many an apparent base hit was
changed into putout by phenomenal
fielding. Hanlon, by two wonderful
catches Of hits from Lewiss bat, one
in the ninth inning and one in the twelfth. twice
saved the game for his side In the thirteenth
Hanlon hit a bounder, which Dunlap
could have got, but Kirby made
a safe hit of it by tipping
it, and changing its course. Hanlon
stole second. Thompson drove hot
bounder to McKinnon, which he
failed to catch, the ball bounding
out of his hands toward second. Hanlon scored
before Dunlap could get the ball to Sutcliffe.
and Thompson reached second on the throw
home Dunlap, Glasscock, Caskins, Mcclure
and Sutcliffe fielded most brilliantly 1t re-

Why He Wanted a Piano.

One of the leading citizens of Dakota
told his errand to piano dealer on
State street yesterday as follows:
Il want some sort of an instrument
that will look pretty well, and yet not
cost much money. Our town needs
one more piano, and one more she'll
have. There's measly little smallpox
stricken hole just over the county-line,
named Siouxtown, which pretends to
rival Bentown, but she can't touch her,
stranger. We've had five pianos in
our town ever since it was started.
and Siouxtown didn't have any until
last month, when it got hold of five
old Jew sharp affairs ut a sheriff's
sale there somewhere The next week
the papers there, both of them dailies.
came out with screach that Sioux
town had five pianos. and they wanted
to know how Bentown liked that.
Well, now, We'll just show them how
we like it. We had a meeting and
subscribed money to buy another in
strument SOS to make six for us, and
that's what I'm here for. When any
one-horse slovenly little burg like that
gets away with the enterprising citizens
Of our town it will be when they raise

Sheep Need a Shepherd

We find, says President Battle. of
North Carolina, that sheep always and
everywhere have enemies, from which
they must be guarded. They are timid
foolish and defenceless creatures. They
need the care, the oversight, the protec-
ton Of man. Wherever they get these
they flourish; wherever thew are neg
Iected they come to uought. All
through the Bible, and in the literature
OF Greece aud Rome, we find proof Of
this. a shepherd watches over and de
tends them. Christ used metaphor
well appreciated by his hearers, when he
called himself the Shepherd and His
disciples Ills sheep. And David did not
give mp the raising Of sheep because a
non aad bear came out of the woods
to deyour them. No, he arose and slew
their Wild beast enemies. Grant that
we have in North Carolina formidable
Toes IN the shape Of vile hounds and
'eurs OF low degree" they areno worse
thah the wolves aud foxes and iackals.
not to mention the lions and tigers and
bears OF other Countries. Even if every
dog IN our State should be slain, other
enemies would spring up, such as foxes
and proving human thieves: and the
careless would be grumbling over new
evils, as sheepless as ever.-Southern
Cultivator.

Difference in Milking.

1t is fact, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, that a poor mixer will spoil
almost any COW, and there are but few
people who are aware of the fact that
IN the mere process of milking a great
difference is made in the yield of dairy
COW. The ability to bring a COW to her
largest yield of milk varies with differ
ent mixers. Some are in reality very
poor ones. Owing to the fact that a
large proportion of what Il COW gives at
milking Is secreted during the process
OF milking, it must be naturally followed
that unless the COW is in a quiet. con
tented state of mind, and satisfied with
the mixer, that the usual secretion OF
new supplies during milking will not
take place 1t is generally owing to this
cause that cows oftentimes "hold up
their milk" as it is termed, and this
cannot be obyiated so long as the COW is
IN a restless state of mind and dissatis-
fled with her mixer.

If the farmer improves his farm he
improves his financial condition. The
more valuable he makes it, the more
his capital stock is increased. the LARGER
will be his returns, and when he dies the
larger will be the patrimony he leaves
his family. Fix up the old home then.
Clean out the fences corners. Destroy
the noxious weeds, Grub out the hazel
and thistle. Burn out the stumps.
Clean off the logs and stones. Make a
paradise on earth of your farm, for are
you not to live on it while you remain
on earth, and will not your family live
on it when you lie in yonder graveyard
Plant out young orchards so that your
family may enjoy the good fruit that

The Sweet Old Mothers,

/ never see an old lady sitting in the
armchair at her ease but think what
storms have pelted in that CHEEKY face
without souring it. Itmay be that q mar
can go,through more exertion than a wQ
man but atleastit remains true that he CAT
not without losing his laughter, his good
cheer, his gentleness and his love and
trust in mankind and God. Yet how
rarely do you find frail old mother
whose spirit has been worn threadbare
and unlovely by what she has endured
A sweet old mother is common; sweet
old father is not quite so common. As
thy day so thy strength of love, thy
riches of an inexhaustible benevolence
and hope and faith. This is more apt
