Shooting on Main street.

On last Wednesday afternoon at 5
o'clock Glib johnson, well known
turbulent negro, made murderous at
tack upon Tom Jones, an innocent and
peaceable young colored man, in front
of the Farmers Hardware store. john
son slapped and abused Jones, and
finally drew his revolver and fired. His
arm was knocked upward, however, and
the ball passed through the awning. A
number of persons we're standing near,
and it was only by the merest accident
that some innocent party was not struck,
as johnson waved his weapon about in
most reckless manner, and pointed it
at nearly everybody in the crowd. He
then started up street, but turned as if
in answer to some remark and fred
again. This time the ball lodged in the
frame of the door, narrowly missing the
head of Jones and OF Sol Hudson, who
was standing beside him.
At this moment Policeman John Nc
Mullen approached the crowd, but john
son covered him with his revolver, used
abusive language and pushed the officer
off as he approached him. McMullen
passed on and Policeman Jas. Lyle
came across the street pistol in hand,
disarmed the negro and placed him
under arrest. At the hearing before
Mayor Dawson on Thursday morning
johnson was bound over to court on the
charge of shooting with intent to kill.
In default of $500 bond he was sent to
jail Johnson is desperate character,
and the community is well rid of his
presence.
1t is unfortunate that this would.be
murderer, with smoking pistol in his
hands, should be allowed to defy and
insult an officer OF the law, yet it is only
an act of injustice to heap abuse upon
Officer McMullen until the circumstan-
ces are fully known. According to his
own statement he did not see what was
done nor know who did the shooting
till he was face to face with Johnson
with the cooked revolver leveled at his
breast. No body questions the murder
Gus character and intentions of John
son, and number of gentlemen who
witnessed the whole affair corroborate
the statement of McMullen that the
slightest motion on his part toward ar
resting the man or reaching for his re-
volver would have resulted in his being
shot. The conduct of McMullen on this
occasion is not altogether defensible as
he probably should have been prepared
for such an emergency before approach
ing the crowd. An officer should be
prompt to see and act. but an exacting
public will grant them the use Of Ger.
tain amount of discretion. The courage
of an officer should be tried by higher
standard than that Of private citizen,
but even an officer should not be con-
demned without fair hearing.

THE HOUSEHOLD.



II one were to get a hundred good house
keepers TO come together and give their
ideas of what constitutes good housekeep-
ing, no two would agree upon all points,
though there are essentials which every
ons recognizes. It is a sad fact that some
good housekeepers are not good home max
ers. The housekeeper should bear in mind
that while il is essential that the home
should be clean and orderly, and the food
well cooked and regularly served, this does
not make the home. One can get all these
things in a well. conducted hotel or board
ing-house but the man or woman is to be
pited who has no higher ideal Of home
than what is furnished by a hotel or board
ing house, however sumptuous. A selfish
woman can make a good housekeeper, but
it is difficult for selfish or lazy woman to
make a good home. A woman who would
make an ideal home must possess some
judgment and heart in which charity and
sympathy have large place.
My idea of good housekeeping is where a
woman keeps her home sweet and orderly ;
provides simple, well cooked food makes
her home so restful and cheerful that all
who come into it shall be better for breath
ing the atmosphere of kindness and cheer
fitness that pervndes the place; and where
the household machinery always runs
smoothly because of the constant thought
fulness of the mistress of the house. A
place like this is truly home, and the
woman who makes such home deserves
the respect and admiration of everybody
have seen such homes among the rich and
among the poor, for neither wealth nor
poverty prevents the right person from
filling with the atmosphere of comfort and
happiness the house of which she is the mis-
tress. -MaIia Puriod IA Good Housekeep

How useless our lives seem to us some
times How we long for an opportunity to

tired of the routine of home life. and mag

We think of life's great battlefield and
wish to be heroes. We think of the good
we might do il our lot had been cast in
other scenes. We forget that the world
bestows no titles so noble as father, mother,
sister or brother In the sacred precincts
of home we have many chances for heroism.
The daily acts of self denial for the good of
a loved one, the gentle word of soothing
for auothers trouble, the care for sick,

No intelligent and right feeling man is

have been his history. he could suggest

would it not be grand if the good Lord
would Just say to you "Go back and live
your life over again | will by one touch
turn your hair to brown or black or golden,
and by one touch you shall feel just as you
did before, when you we're twenty-one
years of age"l We have all made so many
mistakes, committed so many blunders,
said so many things we ought never to have
said and done so many things we ought
never TO have done, that a great many
would accept the proposition.
But it is a great deal better that each
generation should march right on and give
room to other generations. If you wanted
to live your life over again, and if you
wanted to get a better start and make a
better journey, you would have to go back
farther than youth. Aye, you would have
to 90 back and correct father and mother,
and in some cases you would have TO have

Thank God, we don't have to go back, but
we are TO go ahead. Besides all that, il
You had the privilege of going back and
living your life over again it would be a
stale, insipid and stupid experience. The
zest the spur, the enthusiasm of our life
come from the fact that this is the first

are alert to know what will appear at the
next turn Of the road -Tdimdge.

snwdust bedding.

A correspondent of the Household writes
that 1.-THE use of sawdust for bedding in
stables is objected TO by some who have
used it, They find that crops grown on
the manure from cattle and horses so bedded
are not as good as where sand was used as
an absorbent. This was proved by an ex-
pertinent made the past season." IL is
much too common to form opinions on in
sufficient grounds. The nature and compo-
sition of sawdust is practically identical
with that of straw and other materials used
for the same purpose. More than twenty
years ago neighbor told us we would ruin
our land by putting on so much sawdust
manure. We disregarded his advice, and
have frequently had him compliment us
since upon the way we had kept up and inn
proved our farm Yet he is still opposed
to sawdust bedding, being one of the sort
who pride themselves upon sticking to their
opinions" Fortunately, he is able to afford
that sort of nonsense. - Wdtchmdn.

Editor of The PhRhi.r:-l have read of
late with much interest your agricultural

the renovating of bound out mot worn OUT
fields, as we call them in regard to enrich
ing them by blowing under grasses or other
green crops.
Forty years ago or so, when was a small
boy, my father used to turn under grass
and oats when green, nearly grown, for
manure One day asked him how much
more it was worth to the soil as a fertilizer
than the manure that the crop would make
He said he did not know As was anx
ious to find out, | watched the agricultural
articles published in the papers for informa-
ton on that point. Soon an article ap
peared, in the American Agrculturst,
think, saying that the manure from barn
full of hay fed to horses, cows or sheep
would act on the soil as a fertilizer to the
same amount of plant life as the green crop
This l showed to father, after which he fed
his crops to stock, got the profit of it in
growth of stock, and then applied the ma
nure to the fields, increasing the amount of
the fodder grown so that he built another
barn, which was filed in few years from
the same meadow.

There is au old adage about good work
men never complaining of their tools This
applies equally to the dairy work A com
petent dairyman may make as good butter
with shallow setting as by deep setting with
ice, although, when a sufficient supply of
ice is available, the deep pals are very
convenient and are economical of space
As in most cases the trouble comes in at
the dividing line between two different
methods, and in the dairy where neither
deep nor shallow setting of the milk seems
TO be preferable, and there are difficulties
in the way of both, the use of the earthen-
ware pots about eight or nine inches deep
and as wide at the top, set in a trough Of
running spring water at temperature of
90 will be found all that can be desired.
1t comes halfway between shallow setting
at 81 and deep setting at As and has the
advantage OF both; moreover, it is appli-
cable to both summer and winter. Am.
