A Week In q We'll.

On Thursday last John L, Anderson
started down into well on farm -four
miles northeast of Johnstown, Nebraska,
for the purpose of cleaning it out. After
reaching depth of about So feet he saw
that the walls were beginning to cave in
He called to the man above to pull him up
He was drawn up to within about 20
feet of the top, when the well completely
closed in, and he was prisoner. He has
been there ever since. The men at once
began digging well beside the old one
and kept at it night and day. 1t was
thought at first that Anderson had been
smothered to death, but the work was
continued for the purpose of recovering
his body. The ground caved in very
easily, and the task of reaching him was
much harder than had been anticipated.
Even the two most sanguine of the rescu-
ing party had given up the idea of taking
the man out "a live, when Tuesday at noon
as they were about to leave for dinner,
the rope which was attached to the wind
lass over the old well was jerked violently
and the bucket was heard to drop to the
bottom. One of the men, putting his
ear to the wall of the new WE'LL next to
the old one, heard Anderson say. "For
Gods sake, boys, don't leave me now"
1t WAS expec ed that Anderson would be
reached Monday at the latest. His 9 ave
clothes had been prepared and the funeral
set for yesterday. The diggers on learn
ing that he was still alive, returned to
their work with renewed vigor, and yes
terday noon were within three feet Of
him. Tuesday night about $ O'Clock the
well began caving in again and the curb
ing sunk about foot. The men were
frightened out of the well, but almost
Immediately returned and found Anderson
all right. He told them to save him If
possible, but take no chances for them
selves. He had constructed kind of
box out of the old curbing, and by this
means hoped to prevent the dirt from
cavng in on him. 1t is about 100 feet to
the bottom of the well, and from this
space he got air.

Cheese Factory Work.

The few cheese factories still
left in the State are doing n good
business this season. In few cases
advantage Was taken of the early
out of season demand for new cheese
in local markets. which calls for
the article before the SHOWS of win
ter are fairly done blowing, and
tempts the maker with a premium
price. This year it started at fonr-
teen cents, at which price makers
could well afford to incur the needed
extra trouble to supply the trade.
In the eastern part of the State the
business is still extending. The
new factory at Carroll starts of
well with patronage reaching
upwards of thirty hundred weight
day At Houlton the business
outgrew the reach Of Mr.. Barnes
factory, and centered in new ont
in the adjoining town of Linneus
This has now outgrown the parent
plant, and is this season taking up
wards of seventy hundred pound
day, while Mr.. Barnes is still work
ing up between fifty and sixty hun
dred.
Winthrop is doing its full measure
of business this season, and Leeds
is having more milk than in any
previous year. North Turner, too
is taking more more milk thai
ever before, Notwithstanding the
large creamery enterprise in thu
same town. These facts 60 to show

Don't Worry.

Don't worry, my son, don't worry.
Don't worry about something that
YOU think may happen tomorrow,
because you may die tonight, and
to morrow will find you beyond the
reach of worry. Don't worry over
a thing that happened yesterday,
because yesterdy is hundred years
away. If You don't believe it just
reach after it and bring it back.
Don't worry about anything that is
happening to-day, because to-day
will only last fifteen or twenty min
utes. If YOU don't belive it, tell
your creditors you'll be ready to
settle in full with them at sunset
Don't worry about things you can't
help, because worry only makes
them worse. Don't worry about
things you can help, because then
there's no need to worry. Don't
worry at all. If you want TO be
penitent now and then, it won't hurt
you a bit to go into the sackclo h
and ashes business a little. 1t will
do yon good. If you want to cry
little once in long while, that
isn't bad thing, Ii you feel like
goin out and clubbing your self oc-
casionlly, think you need it and
will lend you "A helping hand at it,
and put a plaster on you afterward
All these things will do you good
But worry, worry, worry, fret, fret
fret,-why, there's neither sorrow
penitence, strength, penance, re
formation, hope nor resolution in it
It's just worry.-Bwdette.

Mr.. Cables Advice to the Negroes

Vote, Cast your vote though taxed
for it, Cast your vote though defrauded
of it, as many white man is to-day.
Cast your vote though you die for it..
Let no man cry, Liberty or blood !"
leave that for Socialists and Partisan
mobs but when liberty means duty, and
death means ones own extinction, then
the cry of Liberty or death is a holy
cry. and the man who will not make 1t
his own even in freedom Is not free.
Seek not to buy liberty with the blood
either of friends or enemies; it is only
mems own hood at last that counts in
the purchase of liberty. Whatever may
have been the true philosophy for more
ferocious times, this is the true philoso-
ply for ours. Cast your votes, then,
even though many of you die for it.
Some of you have died, but in compari-
son how few; three hundred thousand
white men poured out their blood to keep
you bound, other three hundred thousand
died to set you free, and still the full
measure of American freedom is not
yours A hftieth as much of your own
blood shed in the inotiensive activities of
public duty will buy it. Keep your vote
alive, better nine free men than ten half
free. In most of the Southern States
the negro vote has been diminishing
steadily for years, to the profound salts
faction of those white men whose suici-
dial policy is to keep you in alienism. In
the name of the dead, black and white,
of the living. and of your children yet
unborn, not as of one party or another
but as American freemen, vote! For in
this free land the people that do not vote
do not get and do not deserve their
rights. The Forum.

M aine Farmers.


In the consideration of the Mills bill in
Congress, on Tuesday, every Democrat in
the House except three, voted In favor of
putting wool on the free list, and every
Republican except one voted against 1t.
The duty of GS per cent. upon sugar,
and the duty of 100 per cent on rice Is
retained. How do our Maine farmers
like 1t? Free hay and wool for New Eng.
land, and protected sugar and rice for the
South.
This is tariff reform with vengeance.
The farmers will not all vote the Demo-
cratic ticket this fall.

FARM, GARDEN AND
HOUSEHOLD.
Earning Her own Living.

There is still to be found with some
people weak and childish
prejudice which causes them to consider
that woman of any social rank has
stepped down in the scale of her being II
she opens or enters shop and stands be-
hind the counter, measuring, cutting, do
ing up parcels taking money and making
change. To the mind of these people
IL they can be said to have mind, or at
any rate 10 use it in this relation-the act
is as much beneath her as If it were men
ial and if she be of any notable family, 1t
requires all the respectablity of the past
to save her from the loss of prestige and
to suffer her to receive a share even OF
the consideration due a member of her
family; as If. like the Brahmin, she has
lost caste and experienced defilement by
touching what was outside her station.
Certainly we can imagine few things
more praiseworthy in a woman than de-
termination to earn her own living, to
live ner own life, to meet her own ex-
penses, If she is not a person of indepen'
dent means, but has to be supported by
others, whether or not the others work
for their own living as well. And to ouI
own mind it Is far more unworthy for q
woman to sit down and be supported by
another than 1t is for her to support her
self in any honest manner whatever
Meanwhile, as every one cannot go into
trade, for want either of the capital OF
faculty, there Is already indeed from the
outset that sort of aristocratic stamp t.
the occupation, as compared with others
which, If that is what Is wanted ought t.
be a salve to the feelings of those hurt b,

To Keep a Bouquet Of Flowers

one is thus described, IN vessel of

bouquet of flowers, weighted at the bot
tom so a. to stand upright. This being
done, the bouquet is covered with bell
glass, the rim Of which ought to fit ex-
actly the fiat part of the plate the bell

raise altogether, bell, glass plate and
bouquet and place on table, leaving on
the plate around the base of the bell glass

preserved in all their freshness for sever
al weeks, and their beauty is increased by
a great number of bubbles of gas pro-
duced by the respiration of the leaves
looking like pearls. The edge of the

light bed of moss In which are set some
flowers bouquet thus arranged pro-
duces charming effect, especially In the

ENslLAGE WITHOUT SILo.-A few days
since visited the farm of Mr.. l.. H..
Rogers, Chautauqua county, N. Y, to see
the ensilage he had preserved in com
mon NOW, with no air tight walls. He
has put fodder up in this way for two
years, and thinks the expense of silos en-
tirely unnecessary. His corn was put in
whole and was AZ good food for cows as
one could wish, with this exception that
it was sown too thickly and had no ears
1t smelled somewhat sour, but there was
no acid taste. His cattle, sheep and
lambs, pigs aud poultry, all ate with
relish. He had fed nothing else to his
cattle during the winter and they were In
fine condition. Mr.. Rogers has been ia
milinr with ensilage since its use in this
country, and recognizes its great value to
the farmer. He says any of the dircc-
tons for making and filling sllos, If
strictly followed will produce a fine fod-
der, but he thinks no better than he had
in his own mow.-Country Gentleman.

So. when you have story to tell
And would like a little renown.
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press.

To settle your thoughts in the iewc>' words
And let them I've crisp and dry.

story is told that when one of the
early settlers of Gouldsboro, Me bought
his farm, he had $500 mortgage on it.
He paid the interest promptly for many
years and raised a large family. One year
when the collector of interest came
around he found the farmers wife rock
ing the cradle, In which slept her twenty
second child. The collector jokingly
told the woman if she would make up the
even two dozen, whenever that might &C.
The next year he was on hand promptly
to collect the interest, when 10 in the
same cradle lay fine pair of twins,
which made up the two dozen; and, of
course, there was nothing to do but to
free the proud parents from debt.
