A hunters storv.

A number Of old time hunters and sports
men were congregated in front of Main
street hotel recently spinning yarns and re-
lating their experiences with gun, dog and
rod Capt Ben Melton, young hunter, and
that well known veteran, Col. Red Williams,
were in the crowd.
Duck shooting was the subject under con-
sideration until it was banished with part
ing shot from one of the company, who said
it was a sacred tradition down in Henderson
county that a hunter with a muzzle loading
war gun once killed thirty five ducks at one
shot. Capt. Melton opened up with dog
story;
Gen. Harding, Of Tennessee, he said, told
the first story illustrating the good qualities
of a bird dog that ever came to his notice.
This dog, according to the generals state
ment would make q point anywhere. The
dog was very fond of the general, and accom-
panied him wherever he went. Upon one
occasion the general visited Nashville, and Of
course put up at the best hotel His faithful
dog, Ponto, was with him. Entering the
Office the general had just registered, and, as
he turned around, he noticed Ponto had
struck point The general was somewhat
embarrassed at his dogs behavior, and
thought OF course, he had the rabies, but il
was all explained when be walked over to the

DIVIDE or suFFER.

In its present anxiety for reform the
motives Of the Every Evening are mer-
cenary and malicious.
First, the paper has been retrograding
in influence and in prestige. Second, it
has suffered a competitor to come in and
take away what it fondly considered as
rightfully pre- empted for the use and
benefit Of the Every Evening.
Something must be done. Nothing
could be cheaper than cheap advertising
Nothing seemed TO offer better returns
than an attempt to reform somebody
else
Whom aud what2 Well, the Levy Court
for one. because the Levy Court refused
to use the county's money to pay some
detectives who had been brought here to
ferret out the gamblers.
The Every Evening did creditable
piece OF work ana richly deserved more
credit than it got. It conceived the idea
Of breaking up the gambling dens Of
Wilmington. II employed detectives,
secured evidence ana brought the mis-.
creants to Justice It was coed piece
Of work. But the cloven foot appeared
when the mercenary old institution put
in bill Of 81 900. That showed that Il
was reformer for revenue only. The
Levy Court properly declined TO pay the
bill-denied the right Of the Every
Evening to employ detectives and saddle
the county with big bill. The Every
Evening has been bounding the Levy
Court and attempting to bulldoze them
ever since. That is item one.
Item two is that Sheriff Allen does not
give the Every Evening any printing.
These are offenses which cannot be con.
doned. Somebody must pay or somebody y
must suffer. In consequence Of the
Itching palm of somebody about the
Every Evening, its whole policy seems to
be dictated by money or the lack Of it. If
the Levy Court had paid the 81, 900 there
would not have been word written con
cerning the feed Of the prisoners, CON
corning the three quinine pills used by
Sheriff Allen, or concerning the county
debt. The things alleged to be bad have
been known before The Every Evening
never raised its PecksnifIian plea or aired
its hypocrisy when the price Of prison
fare was forty five cents and it was OBJ
tanning the printing at greater expense
to the county than It amounts to now.
The Every Evening is nothing if not
mercenary. 1t is losing ground day by
day its prestige is going and its in.
huence is gone. 1t is making a
desperate struggle to regain its reputa.
tion and to bulldoze this sheriff. or the
next one to buy its silence. 1t cares
nothing for the public treasury, because
the expenses have been greater, when the
paper was dividing in silence, than now,
when it is whining for teAt to suck.
The policy of the Every Evening is
your money or your life.

Flower Festlvals A. J.r.D.

The flower festivals" of the Japanese are
often referred 70 without clear explanation Of
their number and character. Five are annu-
ally celebrated. At the New Years feast, on
the first day Of the first month, the chief
plants used are bamboos, frs, Prunus Mume
and Adonis Amurensis The first two are set
by the house door and the others are displayed
in the living rooms. At the second, or "CSirls'
Festival, which is held on the third day Of
the third month, Prunus Persica is the favor
ite plant
At the third, or Boys Festival" on the
fifth day Of the fifth month, one sees chiefly
the shobu Iris lmviagatal; while at the
fourth, or Ladies' Festival y on the seventh
day Of the seventh month, no flowers are fa-
vored, but songs are written on bits Of paper
fastened to leafy stalks of bamboo and set on
high in the garden. The last feast occurs ON
the ninth day of the ninth month, and then
the chrysanthemum is honored by old and
young alike These various celebrations have
always been held in accordance with the
dates OF the old national calendar; but nov
that the Gregorian calendar has been intro
duced it is found difficult TO procure the
proper plants on the proper day. The great
imperial feast in honor Of the chrysanthe-
mum has no special time set for it, but is held
whenever the flowers in the emperor's garden
are in most perfect condition. Garden and

Annual Exodus u highland sheep.

In the autumn Of the year tens Of thousands
Of the small Highland sheep from Skye and
Stornoway are landed at Strome ferry and
carried by the Highland railway to the warm
belt Of rich country lying along the shores OF
the Moray Firth. There, to the great con-
tentment Of the Moray and Nairnshire
farmer, they eat his turnips and manure bis
fields till spring comes round again, and they
can return once more to their mountain pas
lures. The rate is six pence per double mile
for truck load Of say fifty sheep; or, roughly,
half farthing per head. The Caleacnian
has a somewhat similar traffic. though on a
much smaller scale from the Perthshire hills

You should Have = Change Of shoes.

Probably the best reason that can be ad-
duced for giving the shoes a rest occasionally
is the fact that they have q chance to become
thoroughly dry. This is to be recommended
both as sanitary measure and as preserva
tvs Of the leather. Whenever possible
every person should have at least two pairs
of outdoor shoes and wear them on alternate
days. The moisture from the air and pave
ments in wet weather aud the dampness from
the confined feet penetrate the leather, and
in bedchambers where there is but little
warmth the shoes do not become thoroughly
dry between night aud morning. g.-Shoe and

Ex-PREsIDENr CLEVELAND in a char

The Democratic party, as the party OF

which ignore the public good, and
pledged to the interests Of all their coun-
trymen, instead Of the furtherance Of
the interests Of the few who seek to per
vert government powers for their enrich
ment. was never nearer to its fundamen-
tai principles than it was in its contests
for tariff reform.
1t seems useless to attempt any con-
cealment Of the facts that one party is OF
the people while the other party is the
party of the few who seek enrichment by
favorable legislation, by subsidies and by
pensions.
