DExyEs, May 2s--An Elpaso. Tex,
special 70 the News says. Several days axo
Leon Barlow and N. Goudine. two promi-
nent young men, had hot words over the
latter's attention 70 Barlow's l6-year-old
sister. The affair was patched up and
nothing moro thought about il until the
two met last night in front Of the Gem
theater, when Goudinc pulled a gun and
shot Barlow twice, one bali passing through
his lungs and the other through
his liver. The wounded man died
four hours Afterwards. After Gou-
dine fired the first shot the
firing became general among the crowd
gathered in front OF the thea:er, and
three disintercsted psriies were slightly
wounded. The dead mans father Is
Colonel Barlow. retired banker OF Fort
Worth. Tex. Goudine and one OF his CON-
panions were arrested. charged with mur-
der. Both Barlow and Goudine have
many friends. and IL is feared that the
trouble Is not vet ended.

views we entertain almost unani-

views we entertain almost unani-
mously."
The foregoing views cover with
amplitude the battle of the farmers
as now being directed through the
National Farmers Alliance. The de-.
mands they make have given pro-
found food for reflection to the states
men. The Agricultural Department
is straining its talent to devise some
plan to throw a sop to Cerberus, IN
willing to commit itself to the plan OF
the Alliance. Meanwhile mutterings
of discomfort come from the South
and West. The power of this organ
i~zation, yet directed in a polltl-
cal sense, may work such a revolution
as to make South Carolina Repubh-
car and Kansas Democratic. The
shibboleth is new men, new blood,
new ideas. Party spirit is to . put
behind and the doctrine of agrlcultur-
al salvation advanced. The unseen
power yet to be felt has constrained
even the millionaire Senator Stanford,
Of California, to such conversion as
to ask the government to loan money
O n farm mortgages. This is not &C
cepted by the Alliance as an alterna-
tive for their own measure, because
under it those who are simply farm
tenants get no benefit save incident
ally.
| have had conversations with Sec
rotary of Agriculture Rusk and the
political economists attached to his
Office on this subject, which l will
supplement later. Suffice to say, they
are all alarmed, and fear that through
the ballot the farmer may after all
solve the problem of agricultural re-
lief. Meanwhile, there is a powerful
element of the Eastern press yet con-
tent to call them "hayseeds and al.
most fools. Nevertheless the politi-
clan is anxious and wary.

SEWING ON

"When I get a bright idea I always
want to pass it along" said a lady, as she
sat w~Stching a young girl sewing. "Do
your buttons ever come off, Leona p
"Ever? They're always doing it. They
are ironed off, washed off and pulled off,
until l despair. [ seem TO be shedding
buttons at every step" make use Of
these two hints when you are sewing
them on, then, and see if they make any
difference. When you begin, before you
lay the button on the cloth, put the
thread through so that the knot will be
on the right side. That leaves it under
the button, and prevents it from being
ironed or worn away, and thus beginning
the lOosening process. Then, before you
begin sewing, lay a large pin across the
button so that all the threads will 90 over
the pin. After you have finished filling
the holes with thread, draw out the pin
and wind the thread round and round the
button. That makes a compact stem to
sustain the possible pulling and wear of
the b~uttonhOle. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that my buttons never come off, and
[ am sure yours won't if you use my
method Of SewIng."-Er.

CUTTING CRAFTS.

Within the past fifty years I have set
many thousand apple, pear and plumb
gratis, and have invariably cut them from
the tree as wanted, or at least not longer
than a day or two before, unless some
special variety has been sent for from a
distance. My luck in grating can be
seen in many orchards in this vicinity. It
is my firm belief that such gratis are bet
ter than the dry twigs which are CT in
the moon during the winter or early spring.
= hese to retain their vitality must be kept
in moist sawdust or packed in damp
cloths and placed down in a cellar and wet
frequently. l have cut and set them
when the buds were nearly open with the
same good results. A little more care is
of course necessary to set them and wax
them. My recipe for wax is four parts
resin, two of beeswax and one Of tallow,
melted in an iron V, sseI and thrown in a
pail of cold water, then worked with
CREASED hands until 1t becomes a light
yellow.-D. NJ Njver, Albany County,

THEY DON'T

every now and then some one who
is dissatisfied with the course Of the Kicker
hobs up with a proposition to run US out
of the country by establishing a new
weekly, in opposition. He goes blowing
around, gets out a prospectus on a broken
backed Typewriter, puts his w name
down for s., and that's the last Of it.
We've seen twenty such cases in the
last three years, and they no longer make
our hair stand on end and chillS canter up
and down our spinal column.
"Two weeks ago we felt it our duty
to caution the Mayor of this town that he
was riding a high horse, and that he must
come down to a mule or wee take meas
ures to make him. He carried al old
shotgun around for two or three days,
telling everybody he had camped on our
trail, but finally it got too heavey for him

WISE WORDS.

The mind will discard what has been
taught just as fast as it learns by its own
volitiOn.
To court the favors of others by a sac
rifce Of ones self-respect, is to lose more
than is gained.
Harsh counsels have no effect; they are
like hammers which are always repulsed
by the anvil.
Be brief for it is with words as with
sunbeams-the more they are condensed
the deeper they burn.
The pleasantest things in the world
are pleasant thoughts, and the great art
in life is to have as many Of them as pos
sible.
The happiness of the human race in
this world does not consist in our being
devoted to passions, but in our learning to
command them.
Nature embraces entire humanity as
one social body, but art strives to divide
the relations Of mankind, and from the
commercial strife civilization results.
Before the people should expose their
ignorance they should examine their edu-
cation, and separate what was taught
from books, from what they had learned
themselves.
1t depends upon the intent of the giver
whether a gift possesses any Virture. II
man gives with a view to receiving, and
decides what to give and also what he shall
receive, it is a bristly gift.

In severe cases of bowel and stomach
trouble it is often difficult to find food
that can be retained in the stomach long
enough to nourish the patient, or that
does not act as an irritant. Now, there
is something called mutton custard which
is both healing and nOurishing. It has
been used in critical cases with the most
gratifying results. The materials of which
it is made are one quart Of milk, two
ounces of mutton suet, a stick of CHINA
mon about five inches long and one table
spoonful of -four. The suet must be from
the kidneys; sweet and free from all
tough membrane. Shred it very fine and
put it in the double boiler, with the Gin
namon and milk, reserving, however, a
gill Of the cold milk. Cook for one hour,
and then strain, Return to the double
boiler and place on the fire. Now mix
the cold milk with the -four, and stir into
the hot mixture. Cook for ten minutes.
Give the patient as much Of this as he
will willingly take, say half a pint every
four or five hours. Keep the patient
warm and quiet.
One other point in the care Of the sick.
When n is suffering from neuralgia in
the head, put him in a warm bed. Make
a brick very hot and cover it with several
~thicknesses of flannel. Fold a coarse,
thick Cloth and place it on the pillow.
Lay the brick on this and wet thoroughly
with rum. Rest the most painful part Of
the head or face on the brick and throw
a blanket over the patient, covering the
head. Keep covered in this way until
the pain ceases. When the blanket is re-
moved, wipe the moisture from the head,
face and neck, and then battle in alcohol
or rum, to prevent the taking of a cold.
Another remedy is to make salt very
hot by stirring it it over the fire / a fry
ing pan then pour it into a bag, which
should be securely tied. Have the pa
tent lie down and cover him we'll. Place
a bag of hot salt on that part Of the head
orface where the pain is located. The
salt will retain the heat a long time. This
method is much easier than the first, but
VIII not relieve one so quickly or so
thoroughly.-Mario Purl0a in Housewife

GIVE THE BOYS A SHOW.

Too much is expected from farmers
sons before they are twenty-one. They
are expected to put in as much time and
work as a hired man without his pay.
The fathers have been to the expense of
bringing up, clothing and schooling their
sons, but this kind of treatment does not
pay, and many men have found it out too
late, after their boys have "skipped to
fairer Chimes" Give the boys a show.
Let them have an acre Of ground for
their own use to raise what they like, and
pocket the profits. Or if theytake an in
terest in horses or other live stock, en-
courage them by giving them an owner
ship in some coveted animal. They will
take hold with all the more enthusiasm in
the general farm work, and there will be
less grumbling. Give them a holiday oc-
~casionally. They will appreciate it every
time. If there are two or more boys IN
the family, treat them impartially. [ re-
member there were three of us on the
farm, the Oldest boy being in charge of
the work. At the close Of haying our
parents gave the last a vacation of two
weeks and pay for his work. But the
two younger toilers got neither vacation
nor pay We stayed at home and grub
bed along IN the old RUS and were per-
mitted, after much teasing, to attend a
county fair. If farmers would treat their
boys more considerably when young,
they would be more contented and less
inclined to skip " when they reach their
majority .-AUjSO@ Parish Smith, Hamp-
den County, MaSS.

HARD FOOD MAKES HARD, FIRM
TEETH.

The law of deterioration from disuse,
says a writer in Good Housekeeping, OBJ
tains with the teeth, as well as with other
things. The constant and regular use Of
them in masticsting hard food tends to
make them continually grow harder and
stronger, and better able to resist the in
fuences that make for decay, while on
the other hand, living on soft food and
neglect Of m~astication makes them tender,
SoftenS the enamel and renders them
easily susceptible to corroding effects.
This is sometimes especially shown in
the case OF people after a long illness,
who find their teeth tender and sore
when they begin to return to a diet Of
solid, hard food. A dentist, speaking on
this subject, says: Some men have
healthy teeth all their lives because they
were given good, hard food during in
fancy. That is the period to begin to
say the teeth.
Mothers and nurses give children soft
food, utterly ignorant in many cases of
the result. Crusts and hard stufs should
be given to children as soon as they can
eat them. In this way the teeth begin
to graw healthy, and gradually harden
with time and use. The chewing-gum
girl gives her molars plenty of whole
some and unwholesOme exercise. But
chewing gum is not especially healthy,
because only part of the teeth are used.
1t is jaw exercise more han anything
else. But in eating hard, wholesome food
all the teeth come in contact with the
substance. Tobacco chewing is not
healthy for the teeth, because the tobacco
is generally placed in one location, like
chewing gum, and there remains, until
thrown out. The Southern negroes have
better teeth than most any race, because
they use them from childhood up in mas
ticating hard food.
