The Story Of annie Laurie"

The famous song that is sung by all singers
Of the present day, am informed, Is mys-
terry as to the author. | was raised on the
next farm to James Laurie, Annie Laurie's
father. was personally acquainted with
both her and her father, and also with the
author of the song Knowing these facts,
have been requested by my friends to give
the public the benefit of my knowledge,
which have consented to do. Annie Laurie
was born in 1927, and was about II years old
when the incident occurred which gave rise
to the song bearing her name. James Laurie,
Armies father. was farmer, who lived ON
and owned very large farm called Thragles-
town, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. He hired a
great deal of help, and among those he en-
ployed was a man by the name of Wallace to
act as foreman, and while in his employ Mr..
Wallace fell in love with Annie Laurie,
which fact her father soon learned, and
forthwith discharged him. He went to his
home, which was in Maxwelton, and was
taken sick the very night he reached there,
and the next morning, when Annie Laurie
heard Of it, she came to his bedside and
waited on him until he lied, and on his death
bed he composed the song entitled Annie
Laurie. Chicago Herald

riage was produced, but when it was exam
lned it was found that the name Of Michael
Tolhtamish was written over an erasure.
This destroyed the value of the register as
evidence of u marriage between Sophia Uscha-
koff and Michael Tokhtamish. The natural
presumption, in fact, the moral certainty was
that somebody else's name had been erased
from the place where the name Of Michael
Tokhtamish was written, and further, that
the somebody else was the man who mar
ried Sophia Uschakoff. Under these cir
cumstances the evidence Of Michael Tokh-
tamish himself and the two other witnesses
who were present at the marriage, together
with the evidence Of a number Of French
witnesses, that the late count had lived with
her for years as man and wife, was held to
establish fully the claims Of the countess and
her children to be the lawful wife and issue
Of the late Ivan Cheraski. Tokhtamish,
may mention, gave his evidence very will
ingly, as it was perfectly certain that the
countess would never marry anybody else
while she was supposed TO be his wife.
On the morality Of the transaction ! pro-
nounce no opinion, and abandon that prob
B lem to such casuists as may be still extart.
\ The countess left Russia shortly after she
had gained her lawsuit, and was married
about year afterward to Edwin Marston.
Who, partly through his own abilities anG
partly with the assistance Of her fortune,
became one Of the leading physicians in

Curing Corn Fodder In Texas.

A Harrison County TEX correspond
ent OF the Country Gentleman writes: Good
corn fodder is not only one Of the best
trough" foods for horses and cattle that
We have, but in many parts of the South
ii is the only thing OF the kind provided
for winter use. While good fodder is un-
surpassed for "roughness," poorly cured
moldy fodder is about as bad diet as we
can well imagine. Yet there is more poor
fodder than good. A common fault in
fodder is moldy spot Just under the
baud, about midway the bundle. Yet
this can bc easily avoided by proper care
in curing. Mr.. Pinkney Tutlc, Of this
county, is one OF our most successful
farmers, and his fodder is noted for its
fine, sweet odor and even color. Rotten
or moldy fodder is unknown on his farm.
Here is his mode OF saving il:
Instead OF tying il up in little Glands"
or punches, as II is pulled, he simply lays
IL on the ground-a handful in place be-
side stalk Of corn. Thus man pulling
two rows nc time puts all the fodder on
the right-hand row. When lac gets 10 the
end OF the field lac turns TO the right, pull
ing two more rows, laying the fodder on
same row-making fodder row" OF
every four rows.
The ground is very warm and dry ut
the season OF fodder pulling, and the
blades will cure in half the time and in a
much more uniform manner when laid
down loose upon the ground than when
tied up in "hands" and hung upon the
stalks Mr.. Tutlc says also that 1t can be
Just as quickly gathered up. lie has the
lorenoons pulling taken up from I o'clock
TO shutdown, and tied in bundles. II is
then ready for stacking and storing in the
barn, aud retains all the sweetness Of fresh
fodder

THE LATEST.
How the Telegraph Editor Paralyzed an
Intrusive Visitor

Intrusive Visitor.
II was after midnight.
The election returns were all in and the
result was certainty.
The telegraph editor sat with corrugated
brow staring at the proof slip before him,
but his thoughts were tar away and his
minds eye was gazing intently on the fast
receding vision OF hat store which had
furnished the fabric OF his day dreams for
weeks past.
just then visitor entered the sanctum
and rudely disturbed the drcamer's vision.
1t was one Of that legion OF fresh fellows
who presume upon passing acquaintance
with the business manager 10 rush in at all
hours OF the night and inquire whats
the latest?'
The fresh young man. always out OF
place, is never more so than in n newspa-
per Office, and on the night when this
story opens his incongruity was marked
and oppressive.
The telegraph editor fixed his gray eye
upon the intruder with glitter like unto
that Of cold steel, and inquired in freezing
tones:
"Did you spoak?"
"les, | asked what was the latest any
thing cheering?'
The fresh young man had bet hat on
the result, and the suspense was killing
him.
"The latest" replied the 7. T., "is that
Chairman Brice refuses to concede--"
Good" interpolatcd tho fresh young
man; Good, Brice still refuses to con-
cede."
Refuses 10 concedc," resumed the 7.
f.. 'as | was about TO remark when you
interrupted Inc, that he is the juiciest
chump that ever occupied so responsible u
position, but hopes are entertained that
Brice will find il out when the back coun-
ties are heard from"
