would never vote for Lon Wells

republican friend Mr.. Logan must
again stand aside. What mess of

Will YOU allow me space in your high
ly appreciated columns to announce my
Withdrawal from the Republican party
I have been voting and acting with the
above name Larry for twenty Eve years
past And why do l now withdraw
Simply because have become satisfied
that l have been following false goes,
aud do think if all honest republicans
would lay aside all prejudices and con-
slider the matter as have do2e, they
too, would become convinced of their
error and vote the democratic ii ket in
the future.
How car a thinking man vote the =

with the ninety and nine white men and
bid farewell to the dark shades of repub-
licanism, and welcome the sweet fields
of democracy. Yours very truly,

Black became enraged and dra wing
a revolver, fired at Avery. the two
men being only a few feet apart at
the time, The bullet entered

FARM cONvENIENCEs.
How to Make a Simple and inexpensive
Box and Rack Elevator.

How to Make Simple and Inexpensive
Box and Rack Elevator.
At the request of the editor to send
descriptions of farm conveniences, ETC.,
venture to explain my apparatus for
elevating wagon box and hay rack,
which is easily made and not expensive.
1t consists simply of a windlass or
roller five inches in diameter and six
feet long, reaching from outside to
outside of first and third joists in the
wagon shed. For bearings [ nail a
piece of hard wood inch board on the
inside of and projecting above each
joist, with the upper edge followed out
to receive the gudgeons. I cut a
shoulder in each end of the roller one
inch deep, thus forming gudgeons or
Journals three inches in diameter.
With two-inch auger l bore two holes
through the roller at right angles with
each other, near one end, into which l
insert two levers about six feet long.
I take an inch rope of suitable length;
form 81 large loop in each end to go
around the steps on the outside of the
box, then I fasten the middle of the
rope with staple to the center of the
roller When the box is elevated |
fasten the windlass and it hangs there.
We have another in the other end of
the wagon shed for the hay rack, made
in the same way excepting that instead
of loops in the rope there are two iron
hooks in each end to hook under the
bed pieces of the rack. The joists can
be foored over excepting narrow
space for the rope to run in and for the
arms of the windlass to revolve.
Formerly it was good lift for two
men to unload a box or rack. Now,
one man can easily do it; besides,
when not in use they are under shelter
and out of the way. We also utilized
ours at last butcheringtime for hang
ing up our four hundred pound pigs

MANUAL TRAINING.
A Good Thing for Boys of Rich as Well


A Good Thing for Boys of Rich Well as
Poor Parents.
Manual training is one of the few
good things that are good for every
body. 1t is good for the rich boy, to
teach him respect for the dignity of
beautiful work. 1t is good for the
poor boy, to increase his facility for
handling tools, if tools prove to be the
thing he must handle for living after
wards.
1t is good for the bookish boy, to
draw him away from books. But.
most of all, it is good for the nen-book-
ish boy; it shows him that there is
something that he can do we'll. The
boy utterly unable, even if he were
studious, to keep up in book-knowledge
and percentage with the brighter boys,
becomes discouraged dull and moody.
Let him go to the work-room for an
hour, and find that he can make box
or plane a rough piece of board as we'll
as the brightest scholar, nay, very likely
better than his brighter neighbor, and
you have given him an impulse of self
respect that is of untold benefit to him
when he goes back to his studies.
He will be brighter and better boy
for finding out something that he can
do we'll. Mind you, it is planning the
board in the presence of other boys, who
can no longer look down upon him
when they see how we'll he can plane.
He might 60 home after school and
plane a board in the bosom of his fami-
ly, or go to an evening school to learn
to plane, without quarter part, nay,
without any, of the invaluable effect
upon his manhood that it will have to
let him plane side by side with those
who in mental attainment may be his
superiors. -AnaerjcG7a Magazine.

ployed conductor and freight agent
and followed the custom of larger

over seventy years of age, he soon dis
pensed with all superfuous services,
and he now combines within himself

owner and president to conductor and
brakeman. His train goes twice day
