After waiting reasonable length of

On the sixth day. after he had left

He had set the trap and in batting it
the trap had sprung, both of the young

He was in IA kneelins posture, and the
trap being very large and strong lie
was held helpless captive. His right
hand WAS gnawed frun the arm. and
the unfortunate boy had bled. starved
and frozen to death. His remains
were taken to Laramie City and in

His friends grew fast, his fame worldwide.
And Mrs. B. was admired by all.
Her company was sought at every ball.
Her children were petted and praised t.

In order to wire her favoring grace.
But tides that come in will ebb by and by,
And some times ship is left high aud dry
For Jonathan Brown had lost his good grip
And away went his friends, with all their

While he is now dubbed cranky old fool.
Aud wherefore this change Of false friend

ut half-mast would convey this i'm
preston to any person familiar with
the recognized use of such symbols.
According to this authority the nation
al flag should be displayed over the
Executive Mansion at half-mast only
WHEN the President himself is dead.
The national character of the building
sliouid be indicated by the display
of the flag at all times, from sunrise to
to sunset. In times of public sorrow
the flag should not he raised at all. but
ON the death of tine President it should
droop at half-mast.
The city is rapidly filling up for the
winter. Every train brings some poll
tician or lobbyest or general or judge
or senator or representative, and Con-
gress is only two weeks off.
There is feeling of satisfaction
among the officers of the army at the
appointment of Col. Moore to he Sur
geon General of the army, although
cants for the place. The naming of
Col. Moore. who comes from San Fran
cisco is said to he in a measure due to
the fact that he never tried TO secure
it. They say, lit is just like President
Cleveland to appoint the man who
does not try"
Brigadier Geperal Miers. the veteran
Indian freialter. is in Washington on

of them. Their surrender was ALSO
lutte. but they threw themselves upon
the mercy of their captors, in the hope
that 10y so doing their lives might be

first signs of decay should at once call
for the use of knife. and as the peach
tree responds we'll to careful pruning
it may be easily trained to proper
shape. Coal oil or kerosene will al
most instantly kill peach trees, and
should never be used in the or
chard agains insects on the peach
trees. Wood ashes aud ground bone
also make good fertilizers.
While it may be said that peach
trees require nearly the same cultiva-
tion as corn. the pear trees do best in
grass. If cultivated and fertilized
they grow too rapidly, which seems to
bring OH blight. The yellows in peaches
is caused by starv at ion, but the pear
areas should not be forced. If the or
chard is in grass it should receive fer
tilizers or manures. but not i'll sufli-
cient quantity TO more than nourish
the grass. The grass crop should he
plowed under when sod has becom @
thick, and crop Of rye grown on the
sod. The ground should then be
seeded to grass again. The most i'm
portant in connection with the grow
ing of pears and peaches is in avoid
ing disease. Sprinkling solution of
blue vitriol around the trees and spray
ng it in the branches and leaves is an
excellent preventive. The trees should
not be induced to bear early, as it is
much better to allow them to- mature
the wood and become firmly establish
with due precautions against insects.
and proper care. they will be less liable

Peach and Pear Culture.

The peach tree requires cultivation
entirely different from that needed for
the pear, yet where tho orchards are
side by side the same treatment is
given both. In former days, before
the new varieties were known, peach
and pea, trees were hardy and lived
for quite long period. but with graft
ing and budding tho conditions neces-
sary for success seem to have been
changed. The blight with the pear
and the yellows with the peach, are
the great obstacles in the way, while
the borer also does his share of the
destruction.
Compared with the pear the peach
requires clean cultivation. The or

this seeming exclusiveness. lack Of
