1t should be made something more than

the organ Of the interest which over
shadows all others and is least heard OF

past agriculture has furnished more than
rs per cent. of the value of our exports,
and during that time England, France
and Germany have treated us with a con-
tempt that seems not to have been no
ticed or felt by the government. Their
unjust determinations seriously affect
our farm interests-interests that are
national and momentous, yet not the
slightest official notice is given the sub
ject. But an insignificant affrOnt to in
significant persons upon an insignificant
island in the Pacific ocean has been suf-
ficient to burden the newspapers, burden
the telegraph, arouse the fighting spiritOf
citizens, cause resolutions by legislative
bodies and affect the whole current of
national thought. Thatwe should tame

placing unjust restrictions on some of
our most important exports and main

false basis, and yet should instantly re-

proneness of governments, as we'll as
men, to exalt imaginary wrongs above

their Importance demands.

SOCIETY At JUG RIDGE.
The Misses Brayfogle Hold ~ Brilliant and
Charming Soiree.

AN~The scribe wishes to return his
best thanks to the Misses Brayfogle
for the courtesy Of an invitation to be
present at the delightful dance given
by them Friday evening. 1t is seldom
that more brilliant or cOngenial COM

The one disagreeable feature
was the fact that RUDE Cypert broke
two fiddle strings, and having, as he
claimed, lost box of new strings on
the way to the dance, he was unable
to furnish music such as the occasion
warranted. The truth is that Rube
was up to his old tricks, and made
frequent visits to bottle he had hid

Rube; you are not the only man in
this neck o woods that can play Dan

waltz together like dried apples on a
string.
1B-We must say we were not little
surprised to find several of the Stover's
Mill crowd present as big as life and
twice as natural. To our inquiry Katie
Brayfogle informe us that they were
there without invitation. Communicate
ing these facts to few of the Ridge
boys the festivities were postponed for
the time being and the Stover's Mill

RULES Foa SWEEPING.

How o Use . Broom without EAnsuss'ns
All Your Strength.
The first requisite to easy sweeping
il a good broom. When buying select
one with . light, slender handle and
long. plant straws A thick handle
adds unnecessary weight is clumsy TO
handle and tiresome to the hands.
Coarse, heavy straws are TOO
brittle, they break of easily, and the
broom soon wears out. To determine
the quality OF the straws 1t is neces-
sary to examine them carefully. push

Having obtained good broom. my
first Injunction IL do not grasp the
handle too tightly with the upper
hand. Let the hold be light enough to
allow the handle to slide up and down
through the hand with each forward
and backward swing OF the broom. This
will prevent your putting too much
weight on the broom, which Ia an i'm
portant matter. and. what Is still more
important, save much unnecessary
twisting OF the body and working OF
the arms Care should be taken. how
ever. that the hold be not too loose. "a
that will render the broom unsteady.
Again. always work with the upper

the upper hand for the lower and the
lower for the upper, as frequently Al
you turn about to go in an opposite d.
rection. This keeps the broom In Its
proper position. which Is as nearly
perpendicular as possible. and, since
IL is the lower arm that supplies the
power that operates the broom. this
change is restful TO the arms ant
shoulders by dividing the labor be
tween the right arm and the left
and frequently changing the pc
sition OF the body. II you have
not been accustomed to doing this
you will find 1t little awkward
at first. but it will soon become quite
natural TO make the change, and yOi
will be surprised at the ease and thor
oughness with which you can do you
sweeping. as compared with the OLD
method OF retaining the same hold up
on the handle throughout
Lastly. do not make too long strOk
with the broom. Nothing Is gained
while, on the other hand. much labo
is wasted by throwing the broom s.

TIE CUSTER MASSACRE.
what Indian Agent McGtlticuddy has
Learned About 1t.

what Indian Agent McGtlticuddy Has
Learned About IL.
In his long service as Indian agent
DR.. McGillicuddy learned from the
Sioux many interesting facts about the
Custer massacre. For years after that
horrible affair the participants in it
were very 10th to talk OF 1t to white
men. but as the agent gradually gained
their confidence they told him. little
by little. the whole story. Sitting Bull
had 5000 warriors on that occasion.
That is said to have been the largest
force OF Indians ever encountered 0y
American troops in single engage
ment. Custer had over 800 cavalry
and some Crow scouts. He divided his
forces about equally and sent Major
Reno with one body to attack the lower
end OF the Indian village while he
charged at the upper end. The Sioux
all agreed in their statements to Dr.
McGillicuddy that their surprise was
complete. They were engaged in re-
peling Reno at one end, when the
buglers at the other end gave them
their first warning Of Clusters pres
ence. They were disconnected, and
were on the point OF giving way for
general retreat when Reno, to their
astonishment, drew off. This permit.

They told how they managed to
make the massacre complete. The
ground was broken and Custer was I'M
able to handle his men In cavalry for
nation. He disnounted them. leaving
every fourth man to hold the horses.
The Indians threw themselves first or
the men with the horses. shot then
down and stampeded the horses. They
did this, they said, because they knew
that the bulk OF the ammunition which
the soldiers carried was on the horses
This done. the rest was easy. 1t wa
