when the outlaws were making ready for
my incarceration.
Escape now seemed certain. The wall
of my prison was only two inches thick.
and though the wood was dry and hard
from age and exposure TO smoke and heat
my knife was seen at work charging the
knot hole. As this faced TIE cove, could
keep lookout for the moonshiners and
stop cutting at the least suspicious noise.
Night soon shut in, and with the darkness
there came peculiar sounds from cliff and
woodland. But paused not to think of
ghoul or goblin. 1t would have taken
something far more terrible than ghostly
warnings to check the steady going of nv
knife in the weary hours that followed the
sunsent, for hoped to turn my back on
Sleepy cove ere the dawn of another dav.
But when the sun rose my task seemed not
nearly done. The knife was dulled. and
my strength had slowly ebbed away.
The baying of hound reached me. 1t
was repeated, and in moment the thrill
ing music of the pack walked again and
again the sleeping echoes of Sleepy cove.
Nearer and nearer it came, until a dozen
line bloodhounds burst through the under
brush and dashed up to the bowlder at the
entrance to Smoky hole. Then opening
again they sped away on the cold trail of
the moonshiners.
Dan, here Dan Down, sir ~ | shouted
to the leader with all my might The ODE
dent brute, recognizing my voice, dropped
to the ground. l called him to me. and
soon the entire pack was barking playfuly
at the roots of my novel prison, rejoicing,
no doubt. at having freed their master.
Hearing well-known signal in the woods
| answered it, and one by one five of nv
friends crept cautiously up to the cave, car
bines in hand. When spoke to them from
my portfolio there was a broad smile on
every face. An ak was procured, and,
while four of the men guarded against sur
prise, the fifth cut window in my Jail,
through which l crawled. having been a
prisoner nearly twenty hours.
When we reached the big poplar that
guards the pass to Sleepy cove fastened in
the fourth notch piece of paper bearing
these words:
Cap Hawkins, beware The Colonel is
on your trail. Go look for his bones in
smoky hole. EUHARLER."

WHA1 HrsHEs SAYS OF RuepY Colony.

WHAT HuGHEs SAYS OF RUGBY COLONY.
The Rugby colony of Tennessee was
founded ON rigid temperance basis. The
sale or handling OF liquor in any form was
specially forbidden in all the conveyances,
and it was designed to have a temperance
community there in the strictest sense.
Among the colonis,s is physician, who
takes the largest interest in the colony. and
who has been experimenting in every d.
rection to find out what it is best adapted
for. He has discovered that viticulture is
Just the thing, and is growing grapes and
making wine there. He seems to have
hit the right thing, too. Here is some of
his product. The red wine isn't as good rs
Chamber | will admit. and the white is
a little inferior IN Glesier dry. But it is a
pretty good product for new soil and new
vines. and in Years to come will be worth
something. 1t looks now as if Rugby,
which was launched as teetotal settle
ment, would go down TO fame as pro-
,lncer of mild intoxicants; even if they
don't get as far in their ubiquitous defiance
nf morality us to distill strong water, too.
In the days of our grandchildren we may
have them talking of Rugby brandy Just as

A SUNsHINY SoUL.-There are some peo-

humor. in season and out of season every
thing is turned by. their Midas touch to
sparkling merriment What unconscious
physicians these people are? 1t doeth one
good like medicine to hear their voices
and to see their faces, always running over
with laughter like mountain spring. The
healthiest and longest-lived persons almost
always have iwig of humor in their
make up. There is something wonder
fully preservative in laughter. A man who
cannot laugh is like tree from which the
worms or the winds have stripped all the

and dies before It's time The healthy tree
laughs with its myriads of leaves for gen.

the woodman cuts it down and finds the

saplings So it is with the man whose
disposition is one of sunshine and laugh
ter He lives merrily and dies cheerily,
and the world is better for him. His mem-
DRY does not pass away like that of the
sour, grum misanthropist. There may be
grander things about man than his
humor, but there is nothing by which he
will be remembered so long. After his
wisdom and his learning are forgotten, if
he ever laughed that laugh will be his
memorial. 1t will go ringing on when
every other utterance has died away.

DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

The Gridley Herald says that with sacks
worth ten cents, labor 81 day. grain one
cent and the yield averaging not to exceed
fifteen bushels per acre, the query as to the
profit of grain-growing seems to answer
itself negatively. And the grain-produc-
ing area of the world is yearly increasing,
hence there are ne plausible grounds for
expecting better prices in the future except
under circumstances not likely to occur.
The sensible rancher is he who looks at
this matter as it is and in the future raises
mixed crop instead of all wheat. He
can raise oats. rye, corn, potatoes, beets,
sorghum, milk several COWS and make
surplus of butter, raise some poultry and
hogs-these are features of the new de-
parture the successful rancher of the near
future will be obliged to take. Gram alone
is played out II doesn't pay. Diversified
crops do. Eastern farmers have realized
this fact for years, and their brethren on

soSoMA couNrY's VINEYARDS.

There has been much talk of late about
the great damage supposed to have been
done to the grape crop by the warm weather
and north winds. From what We can learn
from different reports from all parts of the
the county, it appears that the fears III
great degree are groundless. In some Sec
tions one or two vineyards, perhaps, have
suffered to some extent from the causes
mentioned, but the majority of our grape
culturers feel safe, and prophecy larger
than average crop. From the northern
part of the county the prospects were never
better, especially so in the neighborhoed OF
CloYerdale and Geyserville. A gentleman
from that section of the country who has
given the subject much attention, says ne
has h ard but one or two complaints from
the vineyar,lists in that part, and they were
about mildew. and did not amount to any
thing. The Mission grape will perhaps do
poorer than any other variety this year.
Granting that such will be the case, the loss
will be nominal compared TO the failure of
any OF the choice and most valuable va
riesies.-Sonoma Democrat.

planted in the neighborhood of Lodi.
Some of the raisin-makers look for re-

great vintage this season. So the grape

HOW TO FIND a RIPE WATERMELON.

The Rural Messenger tells us how to find
ripe watermelon in this way The rind of
melons when left on the vines to mature
generally becomes hard and the pulp brittle,
and when under pressure you hear the
inside crack or give way, it may be regard
ed as a sure sign that the melon is ripe,
and has matured well on the vine If
melon remains on the vine until properly
matured, the side on the ground will be
found to have changed from white to
pale yellow, and upon close examination
numerous small pimples will be noticed on
the surface, particularly on the outer edge.
These pimples never appear on those that
are not ripe or have been prematurely
pulled. Sometimes the desirable pale yell
low color is produced prematurely By turn
ing this part of the melon TO the sun for
day or two. but the yellow thus produced
is of deeper shade. This. in connection
with the absence of pimples, will readily
tell the experienced eye how the color was
produced. If the skin will readily peel.
leaving hard. shelly appearance, it is a
good indication that melon is ripe, and
also, il 1t has dull, brown appearance.
All these signs are rarely seen at the same
time, but the presence of any one is suffi-
cient TO indicate the ripeness of melon.

HOMES OF THE TREES.

While it is sometimes desirable in plant
ing fruit as well as shade trees to remember
the native homes of each variety and the
climatic conditions under which they there
grew, it is by no means certain that trees
will not grow and flourish under widely
different conditions. 1t must always be
remembered that the climatic conditions
of the native homes of trees and plants
have much more direct influence upon
the young plants, their genui hoitcn, etc,
than upon the older established trees
Thus the big tree of California does well all
over California, while its native home is
restricted to a few localities in the Sierra
Nevadas. The cause of this is evidently
some conditions necessary for the germiB-
alton and welfare of the seed and young
plants. The magnolia is another instance
1t does well everywhere with US, but then
it is not very likely to ever become wild
The seed needs certain conditions nowhere
else found than in its native home.a The
chestnut will illustrate this, also. N most
places in California the chestnut will sun
scald if its stem is exposed to the sun, but
if protected during the first season and
shaded, the old tree will grow and bear just
as well as in its native State. Still, the
chestnuts may be easily sprouted here, but
if not properly shaded they will soon sun
scald and die.-FfesHo Republican,
