23s IT Is, and HssIet has to Fife.

This was the legend which Judge
Irwin wore on his tall Harrison hat
10 the grotesque procession which took
the middle of the street from Haslet's
corner to the Post Office, yesterday at
2 o'clock p. m.
Previous to the election Mr.. S. II.
Haslef and Samuel d. Irwin Esq, Of
this place signed the following agree.
ment; "The undersigned being op.
posed to betting money on elections,
agree to the following stipulations,
namely; That if Harrison is elected
S. H. Haslet is to play the fife from
his store up the centre of Elm street
to Holeman's corners, and s. d. Irwin
to march to the music. If Cleveland
is elected Irwin to furnish music on
the violin and Haslet to march to the
music over the same route"
Accordingly, yesterday, the above
agreement was carried out to the let.
ter. Promptly at the hour named the
principals appeared with rubber boots
and pants inside. Mr.. Haslet, with
his fife, started in playing lively air,
followed by the Judge carrying bran
new broom, and if ever Tionesta wit.
messed an odd spectacle it was this
side splitting parade. The loser made
it point to lead the Judge into every
mud hole along the route, and those
who have observed the streets in the
last few days need not be told that the
average depth is about 8 inches. At
Bovard's corner the procession was
joined by crowd of citizens supplied
with kettle covers for cymbals, tin
horns, and the like.
the paraders didn't lack for an au.
dience, for the populace along the
route poured out on all sides, and lis.
tened to such strains as "Yan kee
Doodle" "The girl left Behind me, d"
&C., 10 the finish, when cheer after
cheer rent the air.
There's nothing like having little
fun, and Mr.. Haslet said he might as
well be the victim as some one else,
and although ridiculously ridiculous
as was the performance, both partici,
pants declare that none had more fun
out of it than they.

A 40, 900 ACRE FARM.
How Agriculture is Carried on in the
Great Wheat. ields of Dakota.

Those agricultursts in New Jersey
and Long Island who; fancy that their
farms are large, may be interested to
know the size Of really big farm.
The following is description of the
great Grandin farm in Dakota, which
is the largest farm in America.
The big Grapdin wheat farm in Da.
kota comprises about 10000 acres. Of
which $4,000 are under cultivation,
1900 being sown to wheat. There
are used on the farm 81 gang plows,
two plows in gang, each cutting IA to
10 inches. There are 45 gang harrows.
These are 6 feet square, but are ar
ranged together side by side to work
"a feet wide. One long evener draws
the four with a pair Of mules near
each end. One man drives both teams.
The advantage of this system is wor-
thy OF notice by other farmers. 1t re.
duces the number of men usually re.
quired by oue.half. There are Al
broadcast sewers, sowing eight feet
each, but two Of these are attached
end to end with span of mnles before
each, and one man drives both spans,
another saving of half the man force.
There are 65 self-binding harvesters
employed on the place. Modern i'm.
provements have so perfected these
that only one expert is required for
the whole, especially since the exper.
fenced workmen on the machine are
kept from year to year, and they are
able to attend to any little repairs.
The harvesters are drawn by three
mules and one and one. half to two
men are required to shock the bundles
from each machine. The thrashers,
of which there are six, are quite ex.
tensive affairs compared with those Of
former times or with those of the
fails or the animals on the threshlng
floor of our boyhood. Each one Of
these machines, driven by steam power,
threshes out from 1900 to 1000 bush.
els day. They are set down in the
center of hundred acres of shocks
and when these are threshed are moved
to the center Of another hundred acres.
The working force on a single thresber
forms quite little army. Thus, there
is, first, the general superintendent,
eight bundle teams to haul the shocks,
with eight drivers aud eight other
men, part in the field and part at the
machine as pitchers and unloaders.
At the machine two men are required
simpl y to cut the band. There are
three feeders, two at work and an al.
ternate. Then there are the engineer,
the fremen, the waterman, the "straw.
bucker," who with two mules aud
pole removes the straw accommodating
before the machine, a barn man to
care for the animals, aud the cook and
his assistant. The wheat is received
into wooden tanks holding 100 bushels
each, and four men with four wagons
drawn by four mules each, one tank
wagon at the machine and three on
the road, take the wheat to the ele.
vators. This saves bags and bagging.
1t will thus be seen that there is
force of 80 men employed to run
single machine. -NeU York Mail and

A woman's Discovery.

"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this county.
Disease fastened its clutches upon her and
for seven years she withstood its severest

could not sleep. She bought OF us bottle
of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Com
sumption and was so much relieved on
taking first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

Wings and StinEs.

This is the airy, stinging title of
another sprightly amusing book by
Palmer Cox. 1t is one of the QUEER
PEOPLE series, and similar to its COM
panion "Paws and Claws" of which
we told you recently. This is one Of
the funniest and brightest books for
the youngsters we have ever seen.
The illustrations are splendid and
will make the boys and girls roar
with laughter. The Boston Budget,
says: "Gs holiday book nothing
could be more appropriate, since moth

publican says: "EUeyy page is a pic

be wonderfully popular. 1t is pub

or an agency should apply.

Mr, Sanderson's Factory.

Few among the general public are aware
that the best refrigerators in the country, or
in the world, are made right here in this
city. Some years ago Mr.. D. Sanderson, the
ice and meat man, conceived the idea Of a
down-draft refrigerator and had it patented.
He has been working on the idea ever since.
making improvements year by year until he
now has the handomest as we'll as the best
article of its kind ever placed before the
public. The goods are made in all sizes,
from $40 up to $500. The great difficulty
staring Mr.. Ssnderson in the face is want Of
room. His quarters, comprising five small
work rooms and store building, are entirely
inadequate for winter work, as but ten men
have room to use their elbows. With larger
quarters, the factory would at once assume a
position of first rank and importance.

the members Of the boat club sat upon thS
