Col. r. G. Ingersoll SAYS: THE farm
er who raises wheat is always poor be,
cause he only gets one profit and that is
generally a loss. The farmer who rails
es wheat and beef and horses makes a
second or a third profit and gets rich
Col. Ingerscll here makes a statement
that every experienced farmer knows to
be true, yet every farmer has not the
means at first to engage in diversified
farming, and necessarily must go
slow on the start. Let us look into the
Ingersoll proposition a little farther.
The country which grows raw material
will grow poor, while the country to
which it sells it and which manufactures
it into fabrics and sells them back to it
again will grow intelligent and rich.
The south raises cotton and sells it.
Just so long as the south does this it
will be poor. There can be NJ dissent
from the above statements and yet they
lie at the basis of all the current dis
cussion in regard to tariff and transport
tation. What kind ola tariff will build
up manufactures in America is the
precise thing our people wish to find out.
The people have discovered long ago
hat exclusive wheat raising is possible
only for a short time and on virgin soils
and that the capacity of a soil to produce
wheat is no criterion of its ultimate
value. They have discovered that ex-
elusive corn raising is profitable only
where cattle feeders furnish a home
market. The farmer who is ever alive
to his own interest is beginning to see
hat the husbandman needs a home
market for more than corr and wheat
and oats, and hence the desire to be neal
town and cities. The farmer has learn
ed from experience that the nearer he
can get TO towns and cities, work shops
and factories, the better his market,
the less his transportation, hence the
greater his profits. If we had no pro-
tective tariff, and our raw material was
sent Of to England TO be manufactured
into fabrics, where would the farmers
profits come in On his produce, after
the expense OF transportation was de-
Quoted. If the democratic system of
low tariff or free trade-which is the
same thIDg-shOuld obtain, the farmer,
wool grower or miners who sell their
articles, would on receiving back, have
to foot three freight bills. They who
purchases the raw material pays the
market value therefor, less the cost of
freight to destination. He sends his grain
beef and pork and produce to market in
order to raise money with which to buy
some articles manufactured from the
raw material he sent away and on which
he pays transportation. OF course the
cost of freight is deducted from the
price received for his produce, and he
is compelled to pay the market price for
all the manufactured goods that he buys
with freight added. We want no free
trade, give US 3 home market.

A Dng,s Wonderful Scent.

In the Forest and Stream of October 25th,
under the above heading, case is given
of a Clumber following the trail of his
masters buggy, and the writer asks,
What scent does ne follow up? The
horses? The buggy wheels? What%
l can cite case whi.h would seem to
show that it was probably the scent of the
master, although he was riding in an open
buggy.
Some years ago a man by the name Of
Mellert was arrested in this city for shoot
ing another man. Mellert was placed in
horse car and conveyed to jail at dis
tance Of two miles. The horse car was
closed except that the door in the rear end
of the car was opened and shut on the way
to let other passengers in and out. Mellert
was placed in Jail and the Jail door locked.
The next morning his beagle dog was
found lying against the Jail door. | offered
Mellert 500 for that dog, but he said no
money could buy from him such friend
in distress. He was afterward acquitted
upon the theory that the killing was JUS
tifable under the circumstances but he
was long while in Jail before his trial
came off, and his beagle was his constant
companion day and night.
Now this beagle missed his master from
home some time after his arrest and the
next morning found him in the Jail at
distance of two miles, and the dog had no
doubt that his master was there, because he
lay by the Jail door sill, and this door was
not the outer door of the Courthouse, but
an inner door. Now what scent did he
follow? 1t must have been the scent Of
his master, although the feet of that mas
ter never touched the earth for distance
of two miles; and he did not ride in an
open buggy, but in a closed horse car.
The horse car landed Mellert. about three
hundred feet from the Jail, and from that
point to the jail he walked over flag pave
ments upon the sidewalk, but before the
dog came to find him hundreds and per-
haps thousands of other people had walked
over the same flag sidewalk, and yet his
dog found him and was so sure of it that
he lay down by the Jail door-an inner
door in the Court-house-to receive his
master when he came out. 1t is no wonder
that money could not buy such faithful
friend. But what scent did he follow?

He Was Excused.

We had met to determine when and
where we should pitch our tent this fall.
One member suggested that we start either
before or after Circuit Court had met, for
some of US would surely be summoned on
the jury. Then H. c. S., the. genial cap
tain of our party, said: "Did you ever
hear how l was excused from serving some
time ago? While Judge Buckner pre-
sided over this district some time ago,
was summoned, and after Court was called
/ went to the Judge and asked to be ex-
cused, as | had urgent business to attend
to at home which required my presence"
The Judge replied: 'There are no doubt
twenty-five men here who would want to
be excused for similar reasons. l cannot
excuse you"
"Your Honor, | have served as Juror in
this Court for three consecutive terms, and
you ought to excuse me this time for these
reasons"
THAT" answered the Judge, "only
proves your value to the county as Juror
| cannot excuse you"
"Your Honor, l have still others. You
ought to excuse me for old acquaintance's
sake. When / was quite small boy you
used to camp on my fathers farm every
spring to keep from serving on the jury
in the adjoining county, and used to
supply you with fishing worms"
You are excused" cried the Judge,
amid the roars of laughter that followed
from the officers of the Court.-Forest and

A1 .art Eccentricity.

Ihere Is another eccentricity in the air
which seems to me to call for observation
and warning. l hear that subject in a pict-
uie is not only of no consequence, but it is
better avoided. Pictures, according to this
novel theory, should be songs without
words" they should be beautiful in color.
light, and shadow, tone, and all the rest, but
these qualities should not be made vehicles
of story; that is to be left to literature.
What, then, becomes Of the cartoons of
Raphael, and the Marriage la Mode
of Hogarth? What becomes of Michel
angeles Last Judgment" and the
" Acteon and Diana" " of Titan? And, to
go much lower, if attempts to make paint
ing vehicle for story are reprehensible,
what culprits are the old Dutchmen, with
their kermesses and their innumerable il
lustrations of low-country life and man
ners-Jan Steen, with his " Physician Wis
iting Sick Frau" and Teniers, with his
" "Prodigal Son p'
1t is true that there are Italian pictures
to be found which affect the mind like a
solemn strain of music, from the lovelness
of the tone and the exquisite harmony of
the colors, but, beyond those charms-and
no one can value and enjoy them more
than the writer-they mean nothing.
There are many figures in GLORIOUS hues
bedight," and there is a background
which is in itself poem, but the figures
are doing nothing, they say nothing. Like
Canning's "Knife-Grinder,n they have no
story to tell. | submit that painting is a
language capable Of expressing every emo
tion of the heart and mind of the human
being, and that its vocation is to endeavor
TO elevate by poetic treatment of noble
themes, or, if that rare power is denied the
artist, then to convey moral lessons or
infinite varieties of harmless pleasure.
Beautiful as the language is, and worthy
OF admiration for ITSELF it is but a means
to an end, and the attempt to make it the
end Is, to my mind, fatal mistake.
The last sixty years have produced ad-
vantages to the art student of this country
that are incalculable. To say nothing of
schools of design and numbers of acade-
mics, we have National Gallery, rnsur-
passed in Europe, where the education of
the painter should be completed He will
ind there nature represented by all kinds
of methods, except impressionism q beg
pardon for using the word AGAIN. and real
ism. These are the fungi on the tree of
art. Let the young painter study such no.

brandt, and let him endeavor to rival those
great men and others whose successes

SUMMER Is GOING.

Summer is fading; the broad leaves that grew
So freshly green when June was young are
falling
And all the per-haunted forest through
The restless tirds in saddened tones are call
ing,
From rustling hazel copse and tangled dell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Fragrant, fruity summer,
Sweet farewell.
Uprn the windy hill in many field.
The honey bees hum slow above the clover,
Cleaning the --latest sweets its bloom can yield,
Ana knowing that their harvest time is over,
Sing half a lullaby and halt kneH.
Farewell, sweet summer,
Honey-laden summer
Sweet farewell"
The little brook that bubbles mid the ferns,
Ger twisted roots and sandy shadows playing,
Seems fain TO linger in its eddied turns,
And with plaintive, purring voice IS saying,
Sadder and sweeter than my song can tell,
Farewell, sweet summer.
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet farewell.
The ftful breeze sweeps down the winding lane
With gold and crimson leaves before 1t flying
Its gusty laughter has no sign OF pain;
But in the lulls it sinks in gentle signing,
And mcurns the summer early broken spell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Rosy, blooming summer
Sweet farewell"
so bird and bee and brook and breeze make
moan,
With melancholy song their loss complaining;
l. too, must JOIN them as walk alone
Among the sights and sounds Of summer
waning:
So farewell summer,
Fair but faded summer,
Sweet farewell"

A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
a Struggle for Life Between a Man and
a Bear.

n DcaEs
John Daley, of Jerusalem, Boise county,
arrived on Tuesday and inade call on the
Idaho World. John reported everything
quiet in his section, the only excitement
down there being a fatal man and bear
fight-fatal to the bear. Bob Brainard at
tempted to capture a cub and was chasing
it when the old bear rushed from the
brush to take hand in the fun, and Bob
lost all interest in the cub, the interest
then centering in his own salvation. The
bear was too fleet for him, and soon had
Bob in her embrace; Bob had butcher
knife, and he never needed a knife worse
in his life than at that particular perilous
moment. He raised the knife and slashed
away, and when he endeavored to pull out
the instrument of destruction found that
it was fast, but the bear tumbled over and
Bob flew. He didn't want the
knife Just at that time, so he kept
going, knowing that he had given
the vicious cinnamon bad wound,
and then was his chance to safely fly, and
so bid the bear pleasant goodbye. He
was pretty badly scratched and chawed
about the body and arms, and was bloody
sight when he reached home, but was not
seriously injured. 1t was lucky and mar
row escape, and Bob thanks the Lord and
his butcher knife that he is not now a
mangled and crushed corpse, anything but
beautiful to look upon.
Judge Daley returned with Bob next
day to the scene of the bloody battle, and
found the earthly remains Of the desperate
cinnamon where she fell, and the plucky
and vicious beast apparently died without
a struggle. The knife was still sticking
where Bob had stuck it with such pre-
cision and deadly effect. 1t had pene-
trated the heart We have heard of many
hair-lifting, blood-curdling fights, hut this
one caps them all. 1t is the narrowest
escape on record, and Bobs blood runs cold
and almost freezes in his veins when mem
ory reverts to the scene and he imagines
himself again in the strong embrace of
that cinnamon that came so near squeezing
the soul out of his manly form. and max
ing a meal out of his mangled remains

The Power of Fashion.

Essays have been written to demonstrate
the foolishness of small bird destruction,
laws have been passed to protect the use
full species, societies have been organized
and tens of thousands of members enrolled
pledged against the fatuous fashion of
wearing bird skins as dress; arguments,
pleas, appeals to reason and appeals to
sentiment have been urged and what is
the outcome of it all? Fashion DEGREES
feathers, and feathers it is. The headgear
of women is made up in as large degree as
ever before of the various parts of small
birds. Thousands and millions of the
diyecta mem6ra of birds are displayed in
every conceivable shape on the hats and
bonnets. This condition of affairs must be
something of shock to the leaders OF the
Audubon Society, who were sanguine to
believe that the moral idea represented by
their movement would be efficacieus to in
fuence society at large. Moral suasion is
potent force, but it operates within very
narrow limits only. A very smaH section
of humanity is capable of being law unto
itself and regulating its conduct by the
dictates of conscience; but for the great
majority self-restraint can only be secured
by the dictates of fashion, which are
stronger than penal legislation.-Forest and
