Farmers In the eubernatorial Contest.

4 Farmers In tne OuDernator1al SoAGeSt.
An esteemed contemporary alleges
that the farmers of the State
are in position to dictate the Dem
ocratic nominee 70 Governor. AS a
matter Of fact there was never time
when they We're not in that position;
though they probably never thought
of the Governor as a sort of Farmer
in-Chief of the State, and voled for
him under the impression that he
was TO so execute the laws of the
State so as to increase the price Of
corn. The farmers of Tennessee al
ways nominate and elect the Gov
ernor, for the reason that they con-
stitute big majority of the people of
the State, and because as farmers
they are naturally Democrats
Nashville American.
Much of this is true, but it is not a
fact that the farmers of Tennessee
always nominate the Governor, but
they do always elect. The Ameri-
can seems to have forgotten the ac-
ton of the last convention 50 fresh in
its memory. The American should
recollect that the farmers asked to be
heard in naming an unobjectionable
candidate and they were fairly gagged
by every rule that could be applied,
by the combination o: other classes
opposing them. The convention was
gotten up by massmeetings and
stocked in advance, and farmers had
no showing
Furthermore it is an unjust insinu-
alton, implied that the farmers are
now thinking of the next Governor
as a sort of Farmerin-Chief of the
State to execute the laws so as to in
crease the price of corn.
1t is fact, however, that the farm
ers are disguised with the way
things have been going, and the
methods and influences brought to
bear to control State conventions,
and, therefore, they propose to take q
lively hand and try to nominate q
man whom they can rely upon to
administer State affairs economically
and in the interest of all, and not fol
any special clique or class.

AFFECTION OF THE TURTLE.

Little Pet After Being Turned Loose a
Year Recognizes His Mnster.
Ceur d'Alene City Times.l
J. h. Brobaska is noted for his fondness
for dumb animals of every. description, and
if he had retained all the "pets" he has
possessed at various times he would have
fair start in the way of geological garden
of his own. Probably the most novel OF all
his experiences in this line-as related by
himself-recently occurred on the lake near
this city.
Some time last summer, while strolling
about Ceur d'Alene's suburbs, he came
across two small turtles, lively little fellows
of the water species, and succeeded in cap
turing them. He placed them in his coat
pocket, took them 10 Spokane Falls, and
there provided them with miniature aqua
rum in his room and commenced their do.
mestication and education. Ore of them
the tutor named "Pat." and the other one
he called "Pete" Pat had evidently at
some time in his life been hod-carrier, for
on his back was white spot as if caused by
drop Of plaster falling upon it. As winter
approached. and Mr.. Brobaska was absent
from his room great portion of the time,
he became solicitous for the welfare of his
proteges, and hnally determined to bring
them back to the Ceur d'Alene Lake and
set them free. Accordingly they were again
placed in bis pocket and in due time re-
turned to their native element. ''N
A few days ago, while Mr.. Brobaska and
some friends were rowing upon the lake, the
former espied a small turtle swimming upon
the surface short distance from them. He
instantly stretched out his hand to the un-
coutb voyager and called out; "Pete, Pete,
come here, old boyP but, as the summons
was not obeyed. he changed the salutation
to 'Pat, Pat" At the pronunciation of
the magic name the little paddler stretched
out his neck, turned his head, and, as the
call was repeated, changed his course and
swan fearlessly to the boat, where be
climbed into his masters hand, was placed
in the latter's pocket, and has again become
citizen OF Spokane Falls. Mr. Brobaska
hopes in time to find Pete" again and re-
cover him in the same way.

AGES OF MAN AND WIFE.
Why II is Better That the Husband Should
Have the AdvnntaRe In Years.

Why Il Is Better That the Husband should
Have the Advantage In Years.
Ladies Home Journal.I
1t is always better for man to be several
years the senior of his wife. And III tell
you why. The average girl who marries-
God bless her-stays at home, and makes a
home blissful abiding place for her hus-
band and her children. The man goes out
into the world and has the responsibility of
caring for those who are at home; and yet,
time does not seem to set its seal on him as
it does on woman. The little cares of life
ruf1e her, and too often make her
look. as we say, "'old before her
time" Now, even when this does not
happen. she does proportionately grow
old in appearance sooner than man, and
for that reason she wants to take the benefit
of the doubt and let him have the added
years to start with. Then, too, you should
desire to keeplyour heart and mind young;
to be his intellectual companion, and this is
much easier when your husband is old
enough to be "thet guide, philosopher and
friend" The love of woman to her hus-
band always has little OF the maternal in
it-that is right and tender-but she does
not wish to be mistaken for his mother.
Be wise and marry man older than your
self; one who has seen life in its many phases
and who can guide you over the rocky place;
one who has learned that it is not always
wise to obey impulse, but that any import
ant duty should be wen thought over.

course most consistent with her dignity was
to resign the post which she had had the
honor of holding.
The rector was indignant, and moved
that Miss Cravings resignation be not ac-
cepted; but that in consequence Of the
revelations that had been made, she be
summarily dismissed. Mr.. Sowerbutts was
not present; but the other members of the
board, who bad but very limited idea Of
the Nervousness Of Miss Cravings offence,
murmured at the severity of the sentence;
and at last the rector was persuaded to let
the resignation be accepted.
The following day was Sunday. 1t was
the curate's turn to preach, the rector's to
read prayers. The choir and the school
children were in their places; and Miss Jor-
dan scanned the congregation with an ap-
proving glance from the rectory pew.
"Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture
moveth us," began the rector.
At that moment an unwonted rustic was
heard at the door, subdued murmur ran
through the assembled worshipers, and
the rector, lifting his ewes, beheld the ex-
school mistress moving up the aisle on the
arm of Mr.. Sowerbuttsl There could be
no doubt of what had happened. The
curate received shock shock such as she
never before experienced. Miss Jordan for
got herself in her amazement, and stared at
the bride as If she had been a ghost. Mr..
Sowerbutts tramped stolidly on till he
reached his own pew, and then, having duly
installed his wife therein, began to say the
responses In louder tone than usual.
The bride, in a dainty Persian bonnet,
looked very pretty. Her triumph was COM
plete. Miss Sowerbutts retired to cottage
which she owned in the outskirts Of Groby;
and the schoolmistress reigned over the
Mount Farm and its owner, with gentle but
firm sway.
When Mr.. Wensby came to Little Pud-
dington for the next annual inspection, he
was proceeding to the sehoolhouse in
state, bearing Miss Jordan on his arm, and
escorted by the rector, when the party
met pony carriage, in which was seated a
pretty and beautifully dressed woman. The
lady bowed graciously to Mr.. Wensby, and
he, not remembering the circumstances
under which he had last seen that attractive
smile, returned the salute. Mrs. Sowerbutts
glanced at Miss Jordan and smiled malic-
iously. Miss Jordan dropped her hand
from her companions arm; and the rector,
stepping forward, whispered something in
his friends ear.
GOOD gracious r. exclaimed the inspector;
"that woman hadn't an idea who she
was, assure you. Thought I knew the
face-that was all. p.s

- CHAPTER III.

The government inspection was always
one of the events of the year at Little Pud-
dington. 1t generally took place in the end
Of August. The inspector was an elderly
gentleman, whose proper name was Chris
topher Wensby; but whose ordinary name
among the teachers OF his district was 'sThe
WaIruk," from the fact that his bald FORE
head, and white mustache pointing down.
wards in a straight line on each side OF his
mouth, gave him decided resemblance to
that creature. Report stated that Mr.,
Wensby and Miss Jordan had had tender,
or semi-tender passages at some remote
epoch. At any rate, they were very good
friends; and Mr.. Wensby always
dined at the rectory once q year,
when his tolls in the little village
schoolroom were over. The day came;
the inspection was duly performed; and at
the end of the day Mr.. Wensby sat down at
the rector's hospitable table,
"And what do you think of our new mis-
tress?" asked the rector, as he began to
carve the joint.
"A very superior person-very superior
person indeed, I" returned the inspector.
Miss Jordan's chin was lifted little
higher in the air as this answer was given;
but the gesture went unnotieed.
"Ahi Glad you think so. We consider
her quite an acquisition" said Mr.. Dowth-
waite
YES; there seemed an improvement in
all directions" continued Mr.. Wensby;
but especially in the needlevork. Under

Remarkable Statements TO rhe Police and a
Grand Funeral for Him.
Berlin Letter to The Dispatch.]
A Hungarian newspaper clipping de-
scribes the sad end and the imposing funeral
of the great national robber chief, Banko
MARCH,, who lately expired at Toked.
Banko had lived on the interest of his ill
gotten wealth for the last ten years, and was
the recipient of many honors from his native
town. When he was bout to die he called
the Burgomaster and police authorities to
his bedside and declared that he had done
many noble deed in spite of his profession.
and that he died in piece with God, as he
had never robbed Christian, but made it
his business to kill as many Hebrews as
possible.
Banko made the poor of Toked his heirs,
and had right royal funeral, the hearse
being drawn by four white horses, and the
whole of the clergy being in attendance. A
popular poet composed poem to Banko's
memory. This reminds me of the colored
lithograph once met with in st. Louis
barroom, which commemorated the law
abiding qualities of Mr.. Jesse James, road
agent. In this picture Jesse kneels on the
steps of the Missouri Capitol with bowed
head and empty girdle, while several de-
vout-looking policemen carried his weapons
up the steps to the Governor of the State,
who receives him with outstretched hands.
