Much is being written just now, says
Henry Stewart, in praise of crimson
clover (Trifolium incarnatum) an an
nual plant, which, sown in July. ripens
its seed within year. In May it is in
perfect bloom and presents a brilliant
view when evenly grown, the surface of
the field being covered with the bright,
varying red, from flesh color to deep
crimson, upon a rich green ground Of
foliage. But beauty alone is not per-
fectly satisfactory to the farmer, and
there is danger of misleading by Excess
sive praise of this kind of clover.

When manufacturers besiege congress
for protection they never fail to work
the patriotism racket" But is not the
growing of wheat or corn or cotton just
as patriotic" as weaving cloth or rolling
steel nails? The farmer does not grow
wheat, corn and cotton out of patriotic
motives, and he is not hypocrite enough
to pretend that he does, Does he believe
that the patriotism racket" of the man
ufacturers is anything more than a
transparent humbug? The manufactur-
trs steal the livery of patriotism to serve
their own interests in, bat are no more
patriotic than other people.

The principal glucose factories in this

purchased by an English syndicate which
will attempt to compete with the starch
combination and invade the territory of

But Mckinley, in his American bill"

fourths of cent per pound to protect

A RING FOR RHRUHATIsM

Mr.. Crosby Prevents the Aches Through =
Metallic Combination.
A tired drummer leaned against the
counter of the Anderson yesterday, and COM
planned that he had the rheumatism. "Why
don't you wear ring like this" said Chief
Clerk Crosby, taking little rim off his
finger that looked like polished steel. II
dont't know what the ring Is made of, he
continued, "but it certainly does the work
for me. I am always troubled more or less
with rheumatism, but since have worn the
ring haven't felt twinge. 1t got too
large for my finger, and had to send it to
New York to have it made smaller. 1t was
gone for few days, but in that time felt
the rheumatic pains. have carried buck
eye and small potato in my pockets tor
years, but they have no potency"
The drummer decided he would try the
ring. As this is bad weather for rheuma-
tism, an old doctor suggests that oil of win
ter green is very simple, but sure remedy
to relieve the aches. He condemns the
practice of wearing slippers during the win
ter. The cold air in the rooms sinks to the
floor, and the feet ought to be well pro-
tected. He claims that many foolish
woman has contracted consumption by lay
ing aside her shoes when she comes home
from shopping for pair of dainty slippers.
The old doctor said he would like to see the

L. L. Morris, one of the victims Of the
fruit tree man who did up McKee's Rocks
people, called at The DISPATCH Office yes
terday and stated that the case had been
understated. Mr.. Morris said the name the
man gave was William G. Hourd instead
of Allison. Mr.. Morris said Hourd is sup
posed to have gone away on towboat, as
he was known to have been making over
lures to mariners. Hourd brought refer
ences from the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago Railway and from the Marine Ma
tional Bank, now supposed to have been
forged
He had also been conductor on car No.
of the Pittsburg Traction Railway. Mr..
Morris, however, says that Hourd had one
vice-he smoked-whether tobies or Henry
Clays is not stated. He is described as being
feet II inches high, with black hair and
mustache, brunette complexion, sharp nose,
small eyes and was always well dressed and
had the general appearance of gentlnman.
Mr.. Morris, who was a much greater suf-
ferer than at first reported, thinks that
Hourd is in Cincinnati.

tempted to reduce Texas steers to subsection

McKinley's STYLE of Shaking Hands

About the only objection people make to
Major Mckinley personally is his manner
of shaking hands. He learned it in Wash
ington, and the style is considered fashion
able, but the people don't like it. The
Major holds his hand almost on level with
his shoulder, and turns the palm toward the
sky 1t is difficult to take hold, and only
gentle grip can be given. The shake lacks
the hearty sincerity of the old-fashioned
way, and raising the arm makes those who
meet him feel rather cheap. Strangers not
accustomed to the style grab for the hand
about the waist line, and they are surprised
when they miss it, and discover the pro-
jecting fingers of the Major few feet
above. 1t is a good habit, however, for a
politician to cultivate to save his hand from
being crushed. Enthusiastic admirers can't
squeeze the life out of it, and this probably
provokes them.
