Farmer Crowder had finished planting
his corn, but his heart was heavy. He
knew the crows were whetting their bills
to pull up the corn as soon as it appeared
above the surface.
Il tell you how to get away with the
crows" said Neighbor Stokes.
How"
Get you a gallon of mean whisky and
soak some corn in it till it gets full of the
stuff, and then scatter it broadcast in the
field. The black rascals will eat it and
get drunk, and then you can catch 'em
and pull their heads off. That beats pizen
or shootin'.n

friend Stokes.

ANOTHER ENOcH ARDEN.


A Romantic Story Recalled by the Sui
eide OF Mrs. Boettger.
The suicide of Mrs. Johanna Boettger
in this place recalls romantic story of
her early life that is a counterpart of
Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" In 1S4S,
when Johanna was a maiden, she was as
pretty as pink, and in her circle was a
belle. One day there sailed into the
harbor Spanish man-of-war, and the
sailors obtained leave to go ashore. Some
of them attended da.ce one night
where pretty Johanna was queen, and
one of the sailors, Jacinto Casariego, fell
in love with her. After a brief court
ship the young sailor and Johanna be-
came engaged, and when his vessel left
he promised to return again, quit the
sea and marry her. A year or more
rolled around and Johanna remained
true to her Spanish lover. Then his ship
came into port again, and his term of
enlistment having expired he was dis
charged and they were married.
Two years of welded bliss followed
and son was born to Jacinto and Jo-
hanna. Then the young Spaniard longed

chest, went to New York and enlisted on
board Spanish man-of-war then lying
in the harbor Time rolled on. Jo-
hanna, with her baby boy, heard nothing
from her husband. Time had dealt le-
hently with her, and her maiden charms
had ripened into womanly beauty that
drew many admirers around her. Among
them was Herr Boettger. He pleaded a
long time, but she was not sure her first
husband was dead, and, though she fa-
vored the honest, earnest German wooer,
| she would not marry him until certain
length of time had passed. That time
came, and the steadfast devotion of Herr
| Boettger was rewarded. They were
| married and several children blessed the
union.
Ten years passed, and one night while
the family were at supper handsome
looking man in the uniform of Span
ish naval officer appeared before them
Herr Boettger was astounded as he saw
the mother of his children fall into tht
arms of the sailor and he cover her fac'
with kisses. Recovering Mrs. Boettger
or Casariego, explained matters to bOtl
husbands. The first husband was as
founded, but he renounced all lega
claims to his wife, and after stay of
few days he went away. His son, tn
young Jacinto, had been well cared TO
by the stepfather, and his own fathe
left with the promise to do something
for him. Nothing more was ever seel
of him by his wife. He remembered hi
son, however, and as he rose step b

THE RACE FOR THE spoIIs.

When the democrats came back, after
wandering twenty.four years In the wilder
ness, they exhibited an appetite for Office
that was not altogether unnatural under the
circumstances. But II was nothing to the
hunger and thirst that less than four years
of abstinence have developed among the
republicans.
One of the striking features of the pres.
ent political situation Is the unanimity with
which the idea of civil service reform has
been abandoned. II seems to be agreed
that all such new.fangled notions have been
voted outand there Is not the least pretense
In any quarter that the spolls do not belong
eatirely to the victors.
Il may be interesting, about next March
to recall some of the observations made
four years before on the subject OF remov.
ais from Office, to say nothing of the utter,
ances Of party platforms meanwhile. But
this interest will be rather historical than
practical. II Is now conceded that the Of
fees belong to the saints and II must be nc.
knowledged that the saints are not back,
ward In coming forward to claim them.
History relates that the elder Harrison
succumbed to the Office seekers In month
finding his only escape in death. II the
grandson proves better able to stand the
pressure 1t will be because he is not with
out experience in tie distribution of patron
age. And yet the pressure of IS4o.4t was
not circumstance 10 that which already
