A SENSIBLE WEDDING.
How Thrifty Young Man and Ills Bride
 Surprised Ills Friends.

One way to get married and take tour: The two young people are not at all rich, They are going to live in four rooms upstairs in little subur- ban house Neither one had d home, and when they made up their minds to be married they began, first of all, to save from their earnings to furnish for themselves corner which they could call home. Several weeks before their wedding they engaged their rooms. and enjoyed furnishing them and visit ing them together quite as much as if they were arranging mansion to live in. They moved their trunks the morning of the wedding day. and in Se evening they had few friends come in to see them in their little new parlor, where the minister married them. The bride then served the guests to supper she had prepared before putting on her white dress. and every body was very happy and merry. It seemed almost as if they thought this way of doing was as pleasant and homelike and lovely as if they had rushed of to spend their savings or 8 wedding urney.-Christian Union.

CURE FOR KICKING,
How to Master Horses Addicted to tho
 Vicious Habit.

During the last thirty-fve years n ntighbor has permanently cured over twenty horses of the kicking habit, without failing in any case attempted. Following is his method Take half inch rope that has been stretched until 1t can not stretch any more, tie it around the horse six inches back of the pad and bellyband of the harness; insert a short stick and twist it up nearly as tight as the rope will bear without breaking and tie the stick so that it will stay. Fasten the horse in stall where there is room behind him to wield long lash whip, then strike him around the hind legs quite severely; at the second or third blow he will generally kick with both feet with all his might. but only for two or three times. If he has been in the habit of kicking in harness. drive him with the rope on two weeks, or until he quits making any threats. Some will kick once or twice with one foot. and bob up and threaten for several days. They should be tickled or leased. or have bask ct or pail thrown under them or tied to hind foot several times day to make them try to kick. and until they cease to make any effort in that direction The remedy is then effectual. After driving the animal hali an hour the rope should be frightened. This will also cure bucking horses or any which try to throw their rider .Galen Wilson, in \. '. Tribune.

TWO SMART FOXES.
They Protected Their Home by In-
 Eenious Stratagam.

Eenlous StrataEen.
 It is doubtful if there is any other animal in the world so cunning as the fox. It certainly exercises reason, since it provides against new contin- gencies as fast as they arise. Here is a story which exhibits almost human calculation.
 A pair of red foxes took up their home on Dakota farm, on lnol! in wheat-feld, where they began to rear four little foxes.
 Every day while narrowing and sowing wheat in the field" says the farmer, "I saw the two old foxes lying on the little mound in front of their home. The kits rolled about in the sun, played with the bushy tails of their parents, and enjoyed themselves apparently as much as q group of kit tens.
 ''One morning a naghbor came to work in q field adjoining, bring ing with him dog, and the dog, with all the curiosity of his kind, soon began the investigation of both farms. He was still long dis tance from the fox-dcn when l heard a sharp, warning bark and saw the kits disappear. As l looked, the mother fox lay on the mound, her ears erect, her nose on tho ground, al attention, The father of the family, with his big tail swinging ill the wind, trotted toward the dog.
 ..Can he intend to attack him? wondered. l had never heard of such a thing, and the deg, though not large one, was still larger than the fox. But reynard knew his business better than l. He approached the in- truder until the dog saw him, when both stopped for an instant, and then the dog gave chase. The fox, with bark of defiance. turned and ran in direction away from his home.
 .'At first the dog seemed to gain rapidly upon the fox, but l watched them for nearly mile before they dis appeared in the prairie grass, and con cluded that the fox was able to keep out of the others way.
 Ill silOuL hu IOuI Illt uOS ItluIBed from a fruitless chase, and for time he eontentedly followed his master. Then he began prowling around again.
 All this time the mother-fox had remained on the mound. a picture of quiet vigilance; but now, as the dog again yentured near, she rose and trotted toward him. and the dog WAS soon chasing her oyer the prairie. Hardly had they disappeared when the male trotted back from some hiding place and took the position vacated by his mate. The dog returned after time. unsuccessful as before.
 "During the day he was again and again tempted to chase, first by the male and then by the female, and while the one kept him busy, the other watched over the young, who did not show themselves after the first sight of the dog.
 '.It is hard to say which We admired most: the bravery of the pair in chal- lenging the dog to race that would have proved fatal had he caught them. their ingenuity i'll taking turns, so that each might be fresh when chased. their skill in leading him away from their young, or their cleyerness in throwing him off their track when far enough away. ."-Golden Days.

X POSSIBLE Colonel KehG Jones, who was pulled up to limb by the boys the other night as d warning than no snide games will be allowed in any gambling house in this bailiwick, has called at the Kicker office to pro- test that we were mistaken in the way we sized him up in our local columns. He showed Us letters of recommends tioh from prominent parties in Wash ington. Philadelphia and New York, and he exhibited the Testament given him by his mother twenty-three years ago and worn over his heart ever since. We may possibly have been mistaken in writing the gentleman up as a forser, embezzler, bigamist and escaped con- yiet, and in encouraging the boys to pull his neck as warning. If so, NC are very sorry. The only way he can satisfy us of his integrity is to frown upon any thing like a skin game in his establishment in future.

IT HAS FALLEN-Mr. Nanamaker has refused to appoint us to the post mastership of thss town. The blow has at length fallen. Honesty, integ- rity, merit, intelligence and enthusi- asm have gone for naught. A wall- eyed, hump-baeked ignoramus. who can't spell gum, and can scarcely add two and two, is retained in preference.
 Do we turn the other check?
 Not mueh The first thing we did after receiving the news last night was to burn up a vest which was purchased at Nanamaker's ten years ago. We shall never, never buy another dud from his establishment. We ask our friends to make the same resolve. The Nero must be brought to terms. His naughty form must be rubbed in the dust.

UTILIZING PUMPKINS.

Pumpkins are a valuable and nutritious
food for COWS, if they are only rightly
spread before them. The orthodox wav
Of feeding them is to draw wagOn-lOad
into the pasture, and scatter them pro-
miscuously about in a partially crushed
condition, for the COWS to fight and choke
over.
1t always pays to feed intelligently, and
we mi ght add, humanely, and we append
q way of offering pumpkins to COWS that
we believe to be more efficacious than the
manner described. Gather only ripe.
sound pumpkins; the green and decayed
ones discard; knock off the hard stems
and handle with pitch or dung fork.
Near the pasture fence build a plank
bottomed pen, or 4 large, shallow dry
goods box would do, and into this dump

Now, go into them with sharp spade,
and chop them quite finely. Most of the
entrails and seeds will slough and rattle
orI, and the meaty blocks of the fruit,
shovel over the fence into long station
ary trough, for the cattle to partake of at
leisure.
Roots, such Us mangels and rutabagas,
can advantageously be served the same
way, and if fed in winter, your chop
ping box can be placed in the cellar or
stable
The seeds of pumpkins act too vigor-
ousIy on the kidneys to be beneficial to
COWS, hence care should be taken that
they be excluded from their menu.
At this time of the year it is the en-
deavOr of dairymen not SO much to in
crease their milk flow as to maintain its
previous quality Meadows are annually
ieached, through their depletion of after
math, for this, when some substitute
should be provided. Our experience
with pumpkins as a cheaply produced
food has been satisfactorily in the eX-
creme, and we recommend their more
extensive cultivation. Those varieties Of
the fruit that yield most proliticly, and
produce the tirmest, sweetest meated
pumpkins, are the ones to plant. If
planted in field separate from corn they
do far better than when shaded by the

gone, much to the comfort of the young

In using manure for fruit trees or small
fruits it should be well scattered. The
roots extend long distances from tree
trunks and hence it is absurd, as some
growers do, to pile most of the manure
against the trunk. Spread it evenly on
the surface or WORK it in the soil. The
same rule applies to small fruits. The

MARION, KY, June 22.-The white cap
craze has not yet died out in this part OF
Kentucky. The latest attack is in the
Walnut Grove neighborhood in the sd-
joining county Of Caldwell, within a few
miles Of the locality Of a like scene a
short time since.
A party Of white caps rode up to the
house of William Parmely and demanded
that . girl living with Parmely should be
surrendered to them. They took the girl
to the woods, but no violence was done
her. They left, but IN q few days gave
Parmely notice to leave the state. This
he refused to do. They then returned
and attempted to take Parmely by force,
but his wife and the girl living with him
made a fight, and during the melee Parm-
ely was severely beaten, but Mrs. Parm-
ely succeeded in hitting one of the men
under the eye with a poker.
The next night they rode up to the
house of Vim. Perry, 3 merchant OF Wal.
nut Grove, and attempted to call him
out, but he refused to 60. They then
opened fire on his house with their guns,
putting some eighty bullets in it, one OF
which entered the house and struck

there for the might, in the thigh.
