ALDERMANIC PORTRAITS.

Away back on the hills of Stirling
shire, almost within sight of the famous
castle where so many ScOtchmen found
it convenient to surrender their worldly
assets and depart for another sphere in
two pieces, 400 years ago this month,
there lived on honest peasant who was
accustomed to go out in the quiet of the
evening when all was serene in the
woods and, drawing his bOwstring taut,
let fly at one of the kings deer. The
honest, canny man made such practice
of doing this that the neighbOrs grew to
know him, though his majesty, happily,
was never appriSed of the fact, as
Adam the hunter. The name came
down with his descendants. and,
adorned now with a capital ii. serves
to indicate an honored citizen of Min
neapolis, Samuel Hunter, of the Sixth
ward. The blood of the old COvenanters
runs in the veins Of Aid. Hunter. He
is man who would beware of entering
in quarrel, but being in, it would
be good luck for the other fellow
If he escaped a Knockout blow. In the
days of Bruce his ancestors wore raw
hide shoes and drove English cattle
over the borders without the formality
of inspection on the hoof. At Bannock-

doubt expressed of the demise Of an
English lord who was endeavoring to get
away from his business and go South
for the summer, exclaimed, II max
siccar," and deftly clipped off the
Englishman's head with a Loeb
aber axe. Others of the early
hunters were in the cavalry,
and as late as the battle of Balaklava
were with the Scotch Grays in some of
their famous charges. Plumbing had not
then become fashionable, and the
Hunters thought they must get Oh
horseback to make charge.
1t is needless to say that that is an
exploded idea. The alderman from the
Sixth ward seems to have special fit
ness for some branches Of council COM

good speech as some of his colleagues.

THE LION KILLER.

Near the head waters of
Horse Creek, lives Gerard
Bob, a adaringand well known
mountaineer, who, itmustbe
supposed, derived his title
from the number OF noun
tain lions he has slain in
that vicinity. Various are
the waysin which he has'slain
the animals, for he osooner
gets on the trail of one OF
the varments than he scarce
~ halts or stops, but contin-
ually shadows the animal
day and night until it is
brought to bay and dropped
BY the unerriDg aim Of his
rife.
Though Gerard Bob isfair-

deep gashes from fierce en-
counters with lions and 9th
er brutea, every Of which in
dicatess3 thrilling adventure,
yet'ae protests he is not a.
fraid of the most savage
mountain lion ever walked,
for he considers the whole
tribe base towards. On one
occasion he had q mountain
lion for a bed fellow and he
affirms that he rested per-
fectly easy, and without any
undue excitement. 1t came
about in this wise. One Of

HORSE DENTISTRY.

Treating horses for diseas-
es Of the teeth and mouth
is q new feature in verterina-
~ practice. Since it's intro
duction in st. Louis, however,
it has been demonstrated
that a majority Of the all
ments to which the horse is
subjected comes from diseas-
ed and defective teeth. This
can be observed almost any
day upon the street, where
you see horses being driven,
that hold their head to one
side, or have their tongues
protrudingfrom theirmouths
or frothing at the mouth. All
of this comes from some de-
feet in the teeth. An exposed
nerve or an liberated tooth
is as painful to a horse .as to
a person, but most generally
the poor animal is allowed to
60 through the greater part
Of it's existence without any
attemptbeing made to relieve
it. Extracting and filing
teeth in horses is now a reg
ular business in st. Louis,
and there is scarcely q large
establishment where a large
number Of horses areemploy-
ell but that the service Of q
dentist isnecessary. st. Lou

forked, and as he Gid not yet
see the animal, he decided to
remain in the den until NOR
ming and prevent it's escape.
All the time he could hesr
the movements of something
near, and he lay with his fin
ger touching the trigger rea-
dy to shoot. Hours wore a.
way, and he thinks he must
have fallen asleep, but how
long he did not know, for
when he woke up he forgot
where he was and put out his
hand. AS he did so he touch
ed the fur OF the lion, and it,
immediately, gave a snan.
Two eyes now glared fierceIy
upon him. In another in
stance he pointed his gun to-
ward the two glistening eyes
and fired. The report was
followed quickly by a cloud
of dust, and violent struggles
OF the beast. Then all became
quiet. A few minutes after
wards he found the corpse of
the dead lion, and then began
the task of pulling him out.
On arriving at the surface,
ne considerably surprised
to find the day quite well ad-
vanced, and, after SHINING
the animal, at once FASTENED

A gentleman was watching

The spider was at one edge

to the needs Of the times and
the way to meet monopoly
and benefit the entire South.
SO in the way the tagging
trust was faced. Then some
attention was given another
mOnopoly-the cotton seed
oil trust. The Alliance ir.
structed it's million members
not to sell any cotton seed
Of the present crop for LEES
than 20 cts q bushel, and III
SO not to make contracts for
the sale OF any seed OF the
coming crop until advised to
do so.
Another trust was also
looked after. This was the
book and stationary trust.
The Alliance decided to pur-
chase it's articles in this line
at special rates and made its
contracts. t'ol, Polk says It
was found that the trust was
putting a big. profit on it's
books and stationary.

The following we takefrom
a Raleigh correspondent OF
the Wilmington Messenger:
The Farmers Alliance show
ed at it's National Conference
at Birmingham how much it
has the public welfare at
heart. Its vote on covering
cotton with cotton was unan-
imous. Some papers have
published statements that
there was a wide difference in
opinion on this subject. Col.
Polk says the vote was first
ON q call OF States and on
this each delegate voted. Ev-
cry ballot was in favor ofthe
plan. Then, to make the de-
cision more emphatic, ahe
convention as q whole voted
upon it. The vote was a ris-
ing one, and not a delegate
failed to rise. The Alliance
will stand by it's action, which
was not taken in a spirit of
revengefulness against the
bagging trust, butwhich was
considered to be the best
means ofputting on a sure
foundation a system of man
ufactures which will assure
the use Of the great Southern
textile in Southern mills, op-
Grated by Southern men, and
will utilize Southern capital
skill and energy. No action
was taken in this matter un-
till the delegates were satis-
fed, after full inquiry, that
the true policy was to use
cotton. It was found that
the home mills would insure
an ample supply for all the
demands Of the Alliance. 1t
was further found that as a
matter Of investment the
step was the right one to
take. It will pay to uso the

cred and their carcasses part
ly eaten. The owner Of the
ranch concluded it was the
work of a lion and employed
Gerard Bob to bring in the
anima.',; skin.
The first day out, though
he followed the lion through
deep valleys and over the
rocky sides Of the mountains
for nearly forty miles, yet
not once did he catch sight
Of the beast, though at sew
eral times he was very near.
AT one place among some
thick brush the lion stopped
long enough to kill a good
sized deer, and was feasting
on the carcass when the noise
Of the hunters approach
caused him to fee again.
The hunter, after taking a
good nights rest undersome
shel 'ing rocks, was out a.
gain ut the first dawn of day
and soon discovered the lair
of the beast where it had lain
theprevious night. Then an
other toilsome day wasspent
in following the lion. but Bob
got one glimpse of him be-
hind some bushes. This
greatly encouraged the hun
ter, as he noticed that occa-
sionally the lion halted at
intervals, indicating that he
was growing tired. At the
enrliest streak of light on the
following morning Bob has.
tily swallowed his .old lunch
of jerked meat and buiscuit
and was off after the lion as
usual. The trail led straight
for Il cave. and just as Bob
entered at one end the lion
rushed ont like a fash at the
other. But a qnick shotfrom
Bob's rife wounded the lion
and in it's flight left a trail of
blood in the path. On it
went, up the sides OF the
steep, craggy mountain, with
Bob in steady and determin-
ed pursuit. Now he felt GER
tain of his game, the blood
enabling him to follow it
easily. Still the animal did
not exhibit any uncommon
signs of fatigue until late in
the day. At various times,
however, it endeavored to ose
crete its trail by doubling
and springing in and out of
the water, but the hunters
eagle eye readily detected the
effort at deception and he
lost but little time with blind
trails.
Late in the afternoon, as
Bob was carefully feeling bis
way up AMONG the crags,
suddenly he was startled by
Il low growl, and instantly
he saw the form of the ami
NAL in mid-air coming direct
ly toward him. Stepping to
one side he barely lodged
the beasts paw, and it land
ed far below him, and again
disappeared in a twinkling.
He now pursued it;with more
vigor, and that evening just
at dusk discovered where the
animal had crawled in a hole
between some rocks. Bob.
halted at the outside only
long enough to eat his dry
meal, and then. with his Vim

SATURDAY NIGHT.

ows ofnightare coming down
and the curtains Of light are
are being pinned by a star
beyond the western hills; the
bustling scenes of Saturday
eve are rushing by, and soon,
ah ! soon another week will
have been entomed in the
grave of the past, thus re-
lninding us as the cares and
perplexities, the ups and
downs, the joys and sorrows
of another weeks toll il end
ed, SO "soon born on times
most rapid WINGS" viii We
arrive at the sad, solemn Sat-
urday night of life's "f1tfull
fever" and our frail barque
launched out either upon the
Sunday morn of a blissful
Immortality, to spend our
eternity singing with the
angels" or into the deeper
deeper Saturday night
"shriekiDg with the damned"
How careful then ought wc
to live, with what religious
fear, lest our Saturday night
Of death find US unprepared,
to sink into its bosom. as
sinks the sun at the close Of
day.
