When John Day Smith came out with
his strong denunciation of the Zion
Baptist church, and its lack of right to
be classed as Baptist church, he evil
IDENTIFY forgot that the political strife
was approaching, and the time will soon
draw nigh when the support of the col
ored brethren would be needed. Mr..
Smith has made several enemies among
the flock, and, if the word of some
of the leaders is to be believed,
the gentlemen of color included in the
congregation will take strong measures
against the support of any candidate that
the political member of the Baptist
union may see fit to indorse. One of
them was heard to say recently that the
gentleman mentioned was willing to
coddle the colored Baptist brethren
whenever their votes were needed. but
at other times was averSe to recognlz-
ing them as fellow beings, or even fellow
Baptists. Probably they will get back
at him and the people he represents at

Women as Hiqhwaymen.

A series of sensational highway
robberies have lately been commit
ted in a remote part of Jackson
county, w. Va. The other night A.
B. Mitchell, well-to.do farmer, was
stopped on the road near his home
by two masked men, who presented
revolvers and demanded his money.
While the robbers were searching
Mitchell a party Of friends arrived
Unexpectedly, and the highwaymen
fed. They were pursued, and took
refuge in a house, but were finally
captured.
The pursuers were amazed to find
when the masks were torn from their
faces that they were two women, the
wives of estimable farmers in the
community named Mitchell and
Jones. The women broke down and
confessed to large number Of
bold robberies.

II Rivals AIaddin's Cave.

Ephraim Baker, one of the oldest
residents of Kansas, and for q quar-
of century a citizen Of Topeka, re-
ports discovery which surpasses
the fables Of ancient and stories of
modern wealth. He lives in COM
Portable home here in Topeka during
the winter, and as soon as spring
breaks dons a rough suit and with a
prospector's oatfit moves out across
the plains toward the sunset, to be
seen no more until the snow flies.
Tuesday Mr.. Baker displayed to a
few friend filled with pearls of vari-
Gus colors, shapes and sizes. Some
are pure white, others a delicate
shade of green, some have tint of
blue and others are of the rarest va
riety of all-black. The forms are
perfectly round, oblong, elliptical,
etc They vary from the size of a
pinhead to that of q hazel nut. The
most astonishing part of Mr.. Bakers
story, however, relates to the quanti-
ty of these gems, which almost sur
passes belief. He says he found them
on the western slopes of what was
one a great river or sea rolling over
the plains of Kansas.
As the foothill of the Rock Noun
tains extends down to Ellsworth and
Belleville in Kansas, a rough guess
at the location of these ancient pearl
fisheries would be just beyond the
Smoky Hill and the Arkansas val
eys. Somewhere in that treeless
region Mr.. Baker says there is 100
miles of river bed whose sands are
literally filled with pearls. Turn up
a spadeful of soil where you will, and
there rolls from it stream of tiny
globules which would enrich the col
lection of the Shah of Persia. Wheth-
er Mr.. Baker will ever conclude to
reveal the site of the "valley of
pearls" he does not know, but he
will visit again this spring.-Chicago

Remedy for Warts.

Warts are very troublesome and
disfguring. The following is a per-
feet cure, even of the largest, with
out leaving any scar. 1t is French
mans prescription, and has been
tested by the writer: Take small
piece of raw beef, steep it all night
in vinegar, cut as much from it as
will cover the wart, and put it on
if the excresence is on the forehead,
fasten it on with strips of sticking
plaster. 1t may be removed in the
day and put on every night. In one
fortnight the wart will die and peel
off. The same prescription will cure
corns.

several polar bears. Nearly 500 birds are
mounted in four large cases. The first
includes the eagles and northern divers ;
another consists chiefly of tho larger

A Young Jehu Who Drives
with His Toes.

John Mylchrees, of Middleton, n.
Y, is queer chap and as adroit in
some ways as he is defective pbysi-
cally. John is thirteen yearssold
and has no arms; he never had any,
so he has to get along handily with
out them. He makes his feet do the
chores ordinarily intrusted to the
hands by other folds, and he does
some feats that would be notable if
done by persons who have hands as
we'll as feet. For instance, being
fond of horses, he has learned to drive
them expertly, and he manipulates
the reins entirely with his toes. He
Tolls back on the wagon seat, gathers
up the lines deftly with his toes,
sings out " Glang p and rattles away,
cracking his whip and having grand
time. The reins he holds in the flex-
ible toes of his left foot, the whnip
the cluster of right foot toes, and he
plies the lash if necessary, and saws
the lines if the steed cut up, and goes
through town at a rafting gait with
the skill of an accomplished and two
handed whip. When John is not on
the turf or behind a roadster taking
an outing, he is in the newsboy bus
mess, and it is a smart chap that can
sell papers and make change with his
hands as swiftly and handsomely as
young Mylchrees can do those things
with his nimble ten toes.

The Walk of the Horse.

Reference is frequently made to
the walking gait of horses, and the
farmer is advised when buying q
horse to test the speed of the animal
in walking. That is all right, but
test the speed as much as you like
and the fast walker will not be found.
In all our experience and observa-
ton we have never seen but one
horse that was q fast walker. 1t is
true that there is a difference in
horses in the matter of walking, but
the walking gait of the fastest is not
what would be called fast. The
truth is that there is not the slight
est care taken to produce fast walk
ers. Neither in selection of breeders
or the training of colts is fast walk
ing made special purpose, and it
will require both to improve the
walking gait of our horses. We
ought TO remember, however, that
the horse that will walk fifty per
cent. faster than another horse is the
most valuable animal.

Words of Wisdom.

To have what we want is riches,
but to be able to do without it is
power.
There is nothing in life so earnest
ly to be sought for as character and
probity.
Nothing hinders the constant
agreement of people who live togeth-
er but vanity and selfshness. Let
the spirit of humility and benevo-
lence prevail, and discord and disa-
greement would be banished from
the household.
He that opposes his own judgment
against the consent of the times
ought to be backed with unutterable
truths, and he that has truth on his
side is fool as well as a coward if he
is afraid to own it because Of the
currency or multitude of other mems
opinions.

How II Used TO Was.

This remarkable winter causes the
Annapolis Gazette to grow mildly
sarcastic. 1t says in times gone by
there used to be an old custom
among the people called sleigh-rid-
ing. When the ground was covered
with snow and ice during the winter
season merry parties were gathered
up-called "sleighing parties"-and
vehicle was used. which instead Of
wheels, was provided with runners
upon which 1t slid smoothly over the
frozen snow. The horses attached
to said vehicle had strings of bells
around their necks and fronts and
over their backs, and buffalo robes
were used to keep the sleigh riders
warm. Sleighing was esteemed great
fun, and the young folks had jolly
times. They didn't care how cold it
was--they just Struggled up to each
other and kept warm, while to the
merry jingle of the bells they were
whirled along over the snow, all hap
Ply and enjoying the fruits of "Jack
Frost" All this occurred years ago,
before the climate changed, which
has brought rain and mud and the
grip instead of sleighing.

The Heart of the AIIeghanies

Writing of recent trip across the
mountains of West Virginia, gifted
journalist says:
Twilight on the grade is grand.
The mountain SUBMITS look like the
bushy tops of trees. The sun has
disappeared in a bali of fire at his
''jumping-off place." but the vivid
lightning of the western sky by the
still upturned illumining face below
the horizon is in marked contract to
the gathering shades behind the rush
ing train. From shelf to shelf, from
crag to crag, from brink to brink, we
almost fly. Like a flashing trans
formation, rendering almost past be-
lief the fact that the scene is in the
midst of the Alleghanies, comes bit
of landscape gardening with all the
beauties of walks and hedges and
bright hued flowers, a mountain
brooklet tumbling through the CEN
tre-Buckhorn Wall, the most noted
and most admired view that can be
had from any known point in the
Allegheny range. To enable the
road to span the tremendous gorges,
a massive wall of cut stone was erect
ed for a distance of several hundred
feet, and more than hundred feet
above the foundation rock. As the
river makes an abrupt turn at right
angles, a deep canyon is opened up
for miles. Range after range of
mountains disappear behind each
other. The shadowy outlines OF sim
gle peaks steal out through the haze"
This beautiful scene is on the Bal
timore and Ohio r. r. near Grafton,
w. Va. The entire line between the
Potomac to the Ohio is majestic
panorama of the grandest views on
the continent and all endowed with
historic interest.

CHANGES OF NOMENCLATURE AS

At late White House reception
at down in the East room, taking
possession of q secluded corner, and
watched the famous men and beauti-
ful women who were promenading
that noble apartment, says writer
in Richmond Times. As good luck
would have it, was Joined in this
nook of observation by the man OF

man, wit and philosopher, original
and courageous in his thoughts and

ing because all this spectacular affa-
bility and dressy show or cordiality
was new and strange to him. In
short, wanted to know what man
of brains and sense, fresh from the
people and from a form of society
much simpler than this, would think
of it all.
"Dolliver," said /, as he sat down
beside me, "tell me how this scene
impresses you.'
"First,' he replied, "let me tell
you of my experience here tonight.
1t was my first taste of official socie-
ty as seen at a public levee in the
executive mansion. / did not know
what to do when / came here, and |
thought it best simply to follow the
crowd. 1t took me forty minutes to
get from the front door to the coat

grabbed my hat and coat, while |
was willing to wager something
handsome that | should never get
them back again. Ten minutes later
and the stream ofpeople had carried

right arm up and down a couple Of
times. Then ] was showed along to
Mrs. Harrison, | think it was. My
arm was pumped again, and as an
other cog was turned by the machine
l heard myself greeted by the second
lady as Mr.. CULVER Again the
pump motion was applied, the ma
chine took up another cog, and |
was introduced to the next lady as
Mr. Melville More pump-like move
ment Of the right arm, and with the
lights dazzling my eyes, and my
brain q little d.sordered by visions
OF beautiful women and gorgeous
dresses, / was passed along to still
another. Here / recovered myself
sufficiently to endeavor to regain
possession of my proper name, but
when five seconds later the ma
chine moved again I found the pump
action just like its predecessors and
large, handsome woman with a
French accent called me 'Mr. Golly-
boy. Then 1 gave it up, and resign
ed myself to anything that might
happen in the way of impromptu
nomenclature. More pump.handle
movements, more parodies on the
name that / had come honestly by,
and finally reached the end of the

my escape into the east room"
