and no reform that does not include
these in its scope, can possibly be q
success in the highest sense of the
word. On this line the Farmers
Alliance can possibly accomplish as
much good IS on any other. The
very ground work of the Alliance
consists in educating the people up
to a proper conception OF Its aims
and objects. This done, mistakes
will be avoided, and the Alliance will
be prepared intelligently grapple

Mr.. CIarkson's Tribute.

Mr.. CIarkson, Of Iowa has paid
the highest tribute to the intellec-

ocratic cause. At the PIttsburg
Americas Club banquet he said that
the Desocrats have captured
nearly all the illustrated papers and
magazines in the East and the agri-
cultural papers in the West. The
Iowa politician used the word "csp-
tured" for the sake Of intimating
that by bribery or sharp manage
ment the papers had been won over.
He cannot offer any color Of proof
Of such an explanation, but his fact
that nearly all the best weeklies
and agricultural papers favor tariff

Cooking in Africa,

As rule only one principal meal is
eaten in Central Africa, in the early
part of the evening. 1t usually con-
sists Of parrot soup roasted or stewod
monkeys. alligator eggs (also well liked
by Europeans) and birds OF every de-
scription. They also have moambo,
or palm chops and fish. A great deli
cacy. so considered by Europeans and
natives alike. is elephants feet and
trunk. These have somewhat the taste
OF zeal To prepare them thu natives
dig hole about five feet deep in the
sand and In 1t build large fire. After
the sand is thoroughly heated the fire
is removed, leaving only the ashes in
the hole. The trunk and feet are
placed in this hole and covered with
leaves. and afterward with hot sand.
In two hours they are done.
All careasses Of animals which are
to be cooked are placed on block of
wood and pounded until every bone is
broken, care being t'ken not to tear
or bruise the skim. They are then
boiled or roasted on an open wood fire
or in hot sand or ashes. withQpt re-
moving the hide or feathers. The
cooking is Of q very inferior grad :. the
only spices used being salt and pepper.

Tho Latest War Annihilator.


While the Americans are disposed to
keep the peace. they are not going to
be left helpless in case of war. 1t is
stated in English papers that the Colts,
our famous firearms manufacturers,
have bought the American rights 10
the Clifford gun patents. and that they
paid 9 million dollars for them. The
Clifford gun is the invention OF a French
engineer, and it is claimed for it that
IL Is not only superior to all the inven-
tions for making smokeless powder,
etc, but that it will abolish gun
powder altogether and convert the
armaments OF the world into old iron.
The gun is tough steel tube, nine
inches long. 1t is charged with liqui-
fed carbonic acid gas. The tube is
fixed 10 the barrel of the rifle in such
a way that when the trigger is pulled
q drop of the liquified gas is forced
into the breech of the gun behind the
bullet, where it develops force equal
to 800 pounds pressure to the square
inch. There is no smoke, no noise.
no ,recoil. no smell, no heat. There
Is no danger from its use. it is so cheap
that $50 bullets can be fired at the cost
OF penny.
1t is possible that such inventions as
this may reyolutionize the methods OF
warfare. but the abolition OF war itself
is more likely to result from the grow .
ing demand for tho settlement of dis.
putes between nations by arbitration.

Protection Against Tornadoe..

Lieut.. John p. Finley in the September Forum.
When trying to escape from tor
nado never run to the northeast, east
or southeast. Never take refuge in a
forest or grove Of trees, or near any
object that may be overturned by the
wind. A frame building is safer than
one built of brick or stone. The for
mer is more elastic and holds together
longer; the latter goes down in the
first crash, and the debris is whirled
in heap in the center OF the founda-
ton. In frame structure the cellar
is the safest place, but in q brick or
stone building it is the most perilous.
In the former place the debris is car
ried away from the foundation, while
in the latter instance the cellar is
filled with it. The tornado cave offers
absolute security to life and limb, and
no means of protection can replace it
for that pur pose. As regards pro-
lection to property; no bnilding can
be made sufficiently large, strong,
high or low, to resist the force of the
tornado's vortex. There is no chang
ing the path Of the tornado by the
employment of explosives, or by any
artificial barrier. To contemplate the
dispersion Of the cloud by the use of
any electrical contrivance Is also idle.
All buildings should be constructed as
would be done without the knowledge
of the tornado, and then protected by
legitimate insurance. Protection
must be accomplished by organized
capital, the safety of one being as
sured by the legitimate and successful
cooperation Of many. The writer
strongly advocated this method OF
protection during his tornado investi-
cations in the West in 1879, and now
several million dollars worth Of prop
erty are thus insured every year.

SWEET ANN RUTLIDoE.
s'Uncle" Billy Green Tells the Story Of Abraham
IInc0ln's Early Lore.

| IlnCOih LhTly I
'Uncle Billy" Green is one of the
most interesting OF the historical char
acters of Illinois. He was born in
Tennessee in 1912. in what was then
Overton county. He came to Illinois
in 1926 with his parents, who settled
near Old Salem, in this (Menard)
county. He met Abraham Lincoln
soon after that awkward young man
landed from the fiat boat which floated
down the Sangamon to Salem on the
high water following the deep snow"
of 1881. He was intimately associated
with Lincoln ever afterward. He
says of him: 81 thought the first time
1 ever met Abe Lincoln that he was the
greatest man living. and l am thankful
i lived long enough to know that l was
right"
He was Lincolu's partner in the
grocery at Salem, and at night when
customers were few, he held the gram
mar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
To his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story of his love for sweet Ann
Rutlidge. He saw the happy pair
strolling through the woods about old
Salem. or boating on the river. or
lingering long over the bucket OF
water which Lincoln drew from the
well for Ann. He offered whit COM
fort he could when poor Ann died, and
Lincoln's great heart nearly broke.
'After Ann died." says Uncle Billy
"on stormy nights. when the wine
blew the rain against the roof, Abe
would sit thar in the grocery, his
elbows on his knees, his face in his
hands. an tears runnin' through his
fingers. l hated to see him feel so
bad. an says, Abe. don't cry an
he'd look up an says: 4 can't help it,
Bill, the rains a-fallin' on her."
Green saw his friend rise in great
ness and favor with the people. until
he was elected president of the nation.
At Lincoln's first inaugural banquet
Green sat at the table on the presi-
dents left. with the dignified Secretary
Seward on his right. Lincoln present
ed the two men to each other. saying:
'Secretary Seward, this is Mr.. Green,
Of Illinois" Seward bowed stif1y, when
Lincoln exclaimed: "Oh. get up.
Seward, and shake hands with Green.
He's the man that taught me my
grammar. News.
