Indiana,s historic Elm.

Corydon, Ind, boasts a historic elm tree
under whose spreading branches tradition
has it that session of the Indiana Terri
torial Legislature was held 1t is known
that an extre session of the Legislature
was held at Corydon during summer
while Indiana was Territory. 1t is also
believed that the tree was then large
enough to shelter such body, and as it
stood upon a cool, messy bank near a
spring, and only short distance from the
Capitol, it is quite probable that the mem
bers of the Legislature would leave a
warm, crowded room and repair to such a
cool spot A convention was held at Cory
don in June, 1916, for the purpose of
adopting Constitution for the new State.
1t has been reported that the convention
was held under the famous tree. 1t is a
known fact that in later day the Grand
Jury for the Harrison Circuit Court held
sessions under the tree. Many visitors on
reaching this place ask to see the histor
ical tree, and are referred to the spreading
elm, whose body measures thirteen feet
three inches in circImfrence, and between
the tips of the limbs is distance of one
hundred and fifteen feet.

Curious Hindoo Notions.

A curious light is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of a paper
reprinted lately in the annual report of
the Bombay Anthropological Society, says
the Calcutta Times From this paper we
are told the following, among other things
Shouting the name of the king of the birds
(Garuda) drives away snakes. Shouting
Ram, Ram, drives away ghosts. Cholera
that attacks on Monday or Saturday ends
fatally, but no cholera that attacks on
Thursday. The Towering of bamboos
augurs famine. In tanning, if the fan
strikes the body it should be thrice knocked
against the ground. When giving aims
the giver and receiver should not be stand
ing on different sides of the threshold. 1t
is bad TO pick ones teeth with ones nails
If snake is killed it should be burned,
for it is Brahman. At night the words
SNAKE" and tiger" should not be used /;
call them creepers and insects. Do not
wake up sleeping physician. A morn
ing dream always comes to pass. Devo-
ton without headgear is wrong. Iron is a
charm against ghosts. A black cat with a
white face is very suspicious.

To attempt to improve scrub stock by
selecting and breeding is poor economy.
You can purchase improved stock and Sc
cure the benefit of the work of others
cheaper than you can do the same work
yourself. Good grades are desirable, but
they should be females. Never use grade
male for breeding purposes. The only
way to improve the stock cheaply is to
infuse new blood by procuring thorough
bred males.
A Tennessee farmer sold the proceeds of
twenty-six sheep for $3.50, or nearly 50 per
sheep. OF this sum only S55 was from
wool, the mutton and lamb bringing $175.
This shows that sheep will pay without
producing single pound of wool, and that
the farmers should turn their attention to
the mutton breed rather than to merinos.
The mistake made by some farmers is that
of raising sheep for wool principally, in
stead of for mutton, lamb and wool.
A correspondent who has used stable
manure freely on young peach, pear and

sires to know the kind of mineral fertilizer
to use. The fact that the trees have made
such excellent growth indicates their
thrift. They need only age to bring them
Into bearing. A pound of bone dust, with
half peck of wood ashes, applied next
spring over the ground around each tree,
will be sufficient. Cease the use of stable
manure until the trees begin to bear well.

| By notification of the soil is meant the
disintegration of the organic matter of the
soil and the formation of compounds of
/ nitrogen, mainly through the agency of
nitric acid, which is brought down to the
soil by rains, and which is also product
of decomposition. This process occurs
mostly where the soil is moist and shaded,
as is shown by examination of soil that
has been covered by board for length
of time. Alkaline matter also assists in
the process by fastening decomposition,
thus promoting chemical reaction. Nearly

MIsTooK HIS MEANING
How Gawky Country Boy Worked
Conductor.
From the Memphis Appeal

lrEoHl lLe EdeLnpnls appeal
Not long since an awkward, green coun-
try boy, who had come from somewhere in
Arkansas, entered an outgoing passenger
coach in this city to pursue his journey to
some point in the Northwest.
He soon stretched himself out on seat
and fell asleep.
Not long afterward the conductor came
hurrying through the car and aroused the
sleeper for his ticket.
Tickets, tickets" said he
"What for? ?" asked the disinterested
countryman.
'I'm the conductor sir"
"Then you are the man that knocks
down, eh?"
"Knocks DOWN."
ayes, sir. l have heard that all con-
ductors knock down."
''Do you know what you are talking
aboutY
''Pll show you very quick if you attack
me-"
The ticket-puncher for a moment pulled
up and tried to conceal his real thoughts.
Then bending toward the complacent
speaker, and nudging him to make room,
he planted himself in the same seat with
him.
"You say you know whereof you speak ?"
he opened up.
81 should say do, and 1 am not going
to be imposed upon either" was the posi-
tive reply.
''Well, young man, you seem to know
something about this thing, and l will tell
you the straight OF it. A conductors life
is a very hard one, and the monotony of
the everyday routine has the effect of de-
pressing ones feelings. The salary we are
paid is not over large, and sometimes we
do become little anxious to increase it.
We do this, however, most generally with
some profit to ourselves and no loss TO the
company. 1t is frequently the case that
some unfortunate individual boards my
train who has some money, but not enough
to pay his fare to the point he desires to
reach"
"Then do you knock him DOWN."
"Well, yes, so to speak; we take what he
has and let him 60 on. This money we
don't report, because the company would
fire us for our generosity. We merely
keep it to conceal the kindly act we have
DONE"
as that what you call knocking
DOWN."
"Why, took it you were posted"
''No, sir; here is my ticket"
The conductor took it, and, with CULVER
ing hand, punched the wrong coupon. His
face flushed as he looked with chagrin on
the simple stranger, and looking back he
hurried into the next car.

A CATTLE DRIVE.
Up when the Swallowed peaks stand clear
AS silhouettes against the dawn,
Woke by the below of steer,
To still another crystal morn.

Up when the Swallowed peaks stand clear
AS silhouettes against the dawn,
Woke by the below of a steer,
To still another crystal morn.
meal for hungry man and steed,
moment at the cinch strap strain,
Then mount and start the herd that feed
In clusters on the p!ein.
The dust so thick, scarce else but CLEANS
From glist' ming horns anon appear;
Like some long line of battle seems
The grimy cloud their bay nets spear
Down the long valleys slender throat
Flows on the mellow hoot-beat rhyme,
To cowboys shouts or whistled note,
While clinking spurs and chains keep time.
Then soon come tests for riders nerves
And sturdy broncho's wind and strength,
AS cross a spur of foothills curves
The steep trails sharply swerving length;
And trusnts from the brown ranks break
To scatter Ger the slipp'ry shale,
Climbing the knobs for mischiefs sake,
Or scampering down some tempting vale.
But these are men to saddle bred,
Who ride like Centaurs everywhere,
And many a bull has cause to dread
Their lariats' sure and fateful snare.
Once felt drawn taut round horns or shank,
AS long-trained horse braced for the shock,
With straining limbs and quiv ring flank
Stood rigid as though carved in rock,
Until the line had run its length,
And pulsing from the steers last bound
All his wild, maddened, british strength
Lay painting, useless. on the ground.
But milder measures serve to-day
Than in the branding time, long past;
Ere long the herd resumes its way
As all are gathered in st last.
And onward push till sunset flows
In streams of molten lava through
The mountain riffs, as day doth close
With golden clasps her page of blue.

A FANTASY.

We might be more than happy
And lead such perfect lives,
If all of US were children
And none were husbands, wives;
But boys grow and girls grow,
Together or apart:
Till some dsy each discovers
The other has heart.
This halves their joys and doubles their cares
Aud ends in wrinkles and gray hairs;
In the feet that rock the cradle,
In the hands that toll for bread,
The troubles about the living,
The sorrows about the dead.
What can we do then? Nothing more
Than those who begot and bore US;
They make our lives before us
As theirs were made before.
We must be up aud doing
Maidens flying and men pursuing,
Then hoy for billing aud cooling,
And no for wooing and winning,
The world will never mend;
Love was before the beginning,
And will be after the end.
-R. H. Soddard.

THE ANGLERS LONGING,

I've cast my hook for speekled trout,
Since chlldhoods sunny days
I've wandered up and down the land
In unfTequented ways;
I've fished in river, lake and stream,
With club and worm and fly:
And now that am growing old
lis hard to say goodbye"
o happy, happy days of youth,
And manhoOd's strength and prime;
They linger in my memory still,
Like some familiar rhyme,
Alone with nature l have had
Joys such as none can know
Save those who love the streams and woods
SIS nothing else below.
And now, before the message comes
To summon me away,
One final visit would make
Where leap the trout to day;
There lightly cast once more the fly
And see the beauties rise,
To gladden. this old heart of mine
And kindle those Old eyes.

The sterility of many soils is due more
to their mechanical condition, their tex
ture and relations to heat and moisture,
than TO lack of plant food. Such soils
want amendment first and manures after
ward. Some soils will give good returns
for manuring; others, without irrigation
or amendment by draining, tillage, the use
of lime, mari or muck, etc, will not.
There is no Fixed quantity of butter or
cream to expect from milk. Milk varies

Cream itself varies, and does not give the

LETTER. WRITER OSGOODBY.
He Says He Did Not Know What Stir
Would be Caused in Politics.

Los ANGELES, CAL. January S.-Mr.
OSgoodOy, the author of the famous
Murchison letter. whose identity was
revealed yesterday. says he did not, until
few days before the correspondence
was made public, have a conception OF
its importance, i'll political Sc use. Wheu
he did, the thought uf the tar-reaching
effects and possible consequences to him
self personally rather alarmed him.
Finally, ho%evrr, after "A conference with
a few confidential friends in Pomona, in
Guiding his tao attorneys, 2. &. Toner
and W. A. Bel, it Was determined to
make 'he letters public, and, on tie 18Th

Los Angeles by Bell, acting for Osgoodby.
They were placed in the hands OF Judge
w. F. FITZGERALD. member of the Repub-
llcan State Central Executive Committee;
Henry T Gage. late delegate to the Re-
publican National Convention. and Colo
mel Il. G. Otis editor of the Times, and
these three decided to publish the letters,
without referring them to any commit
tees, state or national, or to any other
persons, as the campaign was then far
advanced, and further delay was deemed
impolitic. Thew were accordingly pub
lished on he 21st of October in the col

Whether there will be an extra ses
sion of the Fifty first Congress or not,
there will be the usual extra session of
the Senate to confirm the more impor-
tant of President Harrison's nomina-
tons. The length of this session will
depend entirely upon the celebrity with
which the President-elect makes his
nominations and the promptness with
which they are acted upon by the
Senate. When Gen. Garfield was in
augurated the Senate remained in ex-
ecutive session from March S to May
20. This session was delayed by Mr..
Conkling's fight against New York ap-
pointments. The special session of the
Senate convened by President Arthur
lasted from October 10th, 1880, to Oc-
tober 29th. The Senate was in execu-
tive session to confirm President Cleve-
lands first nominations from March
9Th, 1885, to April I'D.

West Philadelphia, preached his first
