Hard Times in the East.

The following, from the Topeka
Journal of the 10th, will, no doubt, be
interesting to our farmer readers:
E. B. Merriam, of this city, has re-
ceived letter from a prominent busi-
hess man Of Vermont, man who has
been director of one of the largest
banks of Vermont for thirty-fve years.
in which he takes occasion to refer to
the financial situation there, especially
as effecting farming interests He
says: Money matters are tight here
and not much money moving There
is terrible bowling among the farm
ers about hard times. 1t is hard for
most of them, for as a rule, they are
terribly in debt, and products are very
low. Many of them cannot pay their
interests, and no one wants their farms
at any price. So it is an uphill busi-
ness.''
When a Kansas farmer or any west
ern farmer fails to meet his interests.
the matter is given wide circulation,
and western investors are thrown into
Mysteries. The truthful picture which
this correspondent gives ought to make
the Kansas grumblers, of whom there
are few, ashamed of themselves 1t
but shows a fact which the Journal
has often declared-that Kansas is in
better financial condition than many of
the eastern states.

THE FAITHFUL ELEPHANT.

One Who Would Not Stir Until He Heard
His Masters Voice.
In some countries in Asia an elephant
is made to carry the flag in battles.
This is because the elephant is so tall,
and the soldiers can easily see the flag
flying from his back. One of these ele-
plants, which belonged to the Poona
host, was very brave and very kind, but
he would obey the order of no one ex-
cept his mahout, or driver. One time,
while very fierce fight was raging, the
driver called out to him; ''Stand, my
brave beast, stand!' A moment later
the mahout received fatal
wound and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath pile of wounded
and slain. The obedient animal would
not move, though the battle ragged fierce
~ around him. The Poona soldiers, who
feared they were being overcome, were
cheered on by the sight of the flag still
floating from his back. He never stirred
foot, and all through the hot fight, the
noise, the smoke, the confusion, listened
patiently for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him, a
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like rock.
Come forward, my men, cried the
Poona Captain; 'tour flag still floats and
the battle will yet be OURS
His men. discouraged and ready to fly,
rallied at his command, and with
cheer for the flag pressed forward. In
short time they had won the victory
and put the enemy to flight And then
they gathered around the brave e1e-
phant, offering to lead him where he
could be fed and cared for. But, though
wounded and worn, the obedient Great
ure would not move until he heard his
masters voice. That master could never
speak again A rider was sent in great
haste to place fifty miles away, where
lived the drivers little SON, whom the
elephant knew and loved. When the
little boy was brought to the battle
ground the elephant showed very plain
ly that he was glad to see him, and per-
mitted the child to lead him away.-Our
Little Ones

On LAST Saturday morning Frank
Hide, of Hutchinson, attempted to kill
woman in Kansas City who had been
his mistress at one time, and when he
thought be had accomplished the deed
by cutting her throat, he cut his own
throat with small pocket knife, and
quickly expired. He was at one time
one of the most prominent real estate
men of Hutchinson, having built the
Midland hotel there. He finally got
into deep water, financially, owing to
the bursted boom in Hutchinson, and
going to Kansas City tried to persuade
the woman he killed to go with him to
Australia. leaving his wife aud family
at Hutchinson. When she refused to
accompany him. he attempted her life
and then took his own.

THE SILVER TARPON.
1t Ii Probably the Largest an Well as th
Most Beautiful Game Fish.

1t L. Probably the Largest an Well as the
Most Beautiful Game Fish.
1t is only comparatively short time
since sportsmen have known that there
was such a fish as the tarpon. 1t in
habits the waters of the Florida and
Gulf coasts, and is probably the largest
game fish in the world. To take tar
pom with rod and reel is a feat to be
proud of, and sportsmen from every land
are yearly coming in increasing num-
bers to try their luck on the big fish.
The tarpon is truly monster, rang
ing from fifty to two hundred pounds in
weight, and from four and one-half 10
over six feet in length; not unlike a
cross between huge herring-to wheh
family it belongs-and a huge bluefish
in its general proportions, with large,
protuberant eyes, and an ugly mouth
that opens on the fish's nose, SO to
speak, covered on each side by a hard,
bony, semi-circular flap that gives the
effect of jowl.
Behind and contiguous to the dorsal
fin is sort of bony bayonet called the
feather" some eight or nine inches
long, that protrudes into the air in the
direction Of the tail, forming an acute
angle with the line of the back
The body is covered with brilliant
argentine scales, which give the fish the
effect Of having been 1aved in silver,
and which have won for it the title of
the ''Silver King" These scales, which
are circular and slightly scolloped on
the part of the edge that is overlapped,
vary from one to two inches and half
in diameter.
The silvery epidermis covers only the
Ca1
fourth of the circumference The re-
naming surface is slightly yellowish-
white, not dissimilar in hue to mother
of-pearl, though without its iridescence,
translucent, but not transparent, and
shiny on the inner side They are
hard, thin and of shell-like fiber.
After being removed from the fish and
dried. they curl up so as to remind one
of Saratoga chip, but will, il moist
ened and compressed, regain. at least
for short time, their former shape.
The extreme brilliancy of the silvery
portion becomes tarnished by degrees,
inclining either to yellow or black, but
the permanent color is still beautiful
and astonishing.
The back of the fish is black. and the
silvery effect gradually begins at line
well above the eye. Some anglers have
seen lit to perpetrate their triumphs by
having specimens of these. monsters
mounted on panel They form mag
n1ncent trophies for the hall or dining
room OF large house; and when gazing
at hundred-pound tarpon, which
Is certainly rather below than above the
average weight of the fish, one finds
difficulty in believing that IL has been
captured with rod and reel-Golden

The President Sees Qimly.

important particulars, is discouraging
A new department was created last
March-the department of agriculture
and its chief officer is member of the
presidents csbinet. Farmers asked a
long time for some special recognition
and this was finally given them. 1t
represents the most important industry
of the country. All the president has
to say about it is to ask attention OF
congress to the secretary's report with.
out recommending anything, and to
state that the need of law officer for
the department is manifest
AS to the conditioned the country in
general the president says: "Within
our own borders, general condition of
prosperity prevails. The harvests OF
the last summer were exceptionally
abundant and the trade conditions
now prevailing seem to promise a sue
cessful season to the merchant and the
manufacturer and the general employ.
ment to our working people,"
Yes, the crops were generally good
but the prices of farm products are so
low that there is no profit to farmers
This has not come about by reason OF
our having too much xheat or too much
corn, too many cattle or too many hogs
or sheep or horsea. There is de nand
for all we have, but the trouble lies in
low prices and this Is the effect OF
causes which the president ought to
see clearly, though he does not. 1t
comes from the tightening of fnonop-
oly's grasp. 1t began in combinations
among railroad companies, bankers,
commission merchants, packers and
stock and money gamblers. The eyes
of our public men will have to be open
