Spencer speaks very plainly on the sub
ject of state interference with private
property and industry. AS is we'll
known, he deplores most bitterly the
present tendency toward state interfer-
ence. The great learning and the we'll
understood candor of the author COM
pei careful consideration of all the ideas
advanced in the work. Yet we can.
not but feel that Mr.. Spencer is work
ing with insufficient data-that he is
ignorant TO a considerable degree of
much that is going on in the industrial
life of the United States.
ADOPTING AN ABANDONED FARM,
by Kate Sanborn. Published by d.
Appleton & Co., New York No one
was better fitted than Miss Sanborn for
telling the story of the life of city
woman on an abandoned farm"
which she had leased for summer resi-
dence. Her vivacity has abundant op.
portunity, and she gives it full rein. The
town in which the farm is located is
Gooseville, Conn, which, she remarks
parenthetically, is an assumed name for
Foxboro, Mass. Among other things
she describes the way in which the
local reporters troubled her. The
GooSeville Clarion announced that
Kate Sanborn is trying another
horse" and the Bungto,Dn Gazetteer
proclaimed TO the world that {" a we'll
known Boston poetess had purchased
the Britton farm and was fitting up the
old homestead for city boarders."
Near the end of the book, after re-
counting the pleasures of her new life,
Miss Sanborn says: Gail these simple
pleasures seem better to me than sit
ting in heated. crowded rooms listening
to interminable music, or to men or
women who never know when to stop,
or rushing round to gain more informa-
ton on anything and everything from
Alaska to Zuuland, and wildly strug-
Cling to catch up with social duties !"

For getting a man out of hard place,
joke is sometimes better than gun.
A Yankee drummer-boy was out on a
little foraging expedition one evening
during the late civil war, all by himself
and had scaled bristling picket fence
to get at tree full of tempting, rosy
apples. He had filed bis haversack and
his pockets, when he was suddenly
startled by stentorian voice, Drop
them apples, boy, and git, er yer dead
Yankl" Crashing through the tall
weeds came the owner of the apples,
rifle in hand. The boy ran for dear life,
but chung to as many of the apples as
he could. On reaching the fence, he
grasped post, and tried to climb over;
but the pickets seemed to have gained
foot in height and many degrees in
sharpness since he entered the orch ird,
and, as he scrambled over, one of them
managed to insert itself between the
small of his back and his leather belt in
such way as to hold him suspended, at
the mercy of his oncoming foe. Git,
tell vel Git, er III shootl" roared
the Confederate, The boy looked over
his shoulder, and, despite the ugly rifle
levelled at his head, called out, good
humoredly, "Oh, see here, now, don't
shoot! Don't you see Pm on picket,
and can't leave my post?" The man
lowered his gun, broad smile came
over his face, and be answered.: IAN
right, sonny; stick to your post" Then
he turned and went away in the direc-
ton whence he had come, leaving the
Yankee boy to get out of his predica-
ment as best he could, which he finally
did by cutting his belt with his pocket

General Custer's Father.

A tall, venerable-looking man stood
upon the platform of the cyclorama of
the battle of Big Horn, recently, and
gazed long and earnestly upon the can
vas. The old man was feeble. and as
he leaned upon the ropes for support
hot tears coursed down his furrowed
cheeks. The other spectators IN his
vicinity eyed him with mixed looks of
sympathy and curiosity. Presently
small crowd OF survivors of the Sixth
Cavalry, which was commanded by
George A. Custer during the war, came
up the stairs. Just as the cyclorama
lecturer began to tell in his monotone
how Custer, his brothers, Tom and
Boston, and his brother-in-law, Lieu.
tenant Calhoun, had been slaughtered
at Big Horn by the Sioux, the old man
turned to go, as though the narrative
had no special interest for him, when
one OF the veterans, selling his hand,
exclaimed: " Why, old man, God bless
youl" Then, turning to his comrades,
he calculated, Boys, this is George
A. Clusters father" Instantly the
white-haired patriarch was surrounded
by boys in blue, struggling for the priv
ilege OF grasping his hand. 81 was

the old gentleman. "Tom brought
the red necktie home that he wore that
day, and I've got it yet. The blood is

eyes of many of the crowd that saw

Ii Colonel Polk thought to curry favor
with the old soldiers of the North and
west by proclaiming himself a traitor to
the cause he was supposed to be fighting
Tor IN the late war, his doing so falls
very fat. From all accounts the old sol.
dlers are disguised. No man admires a
traitor; and the Union soldiers who
faced US on so many battle fields of blood
and death have nothing but contempt
and contumely for the southerner who
he accepted Office in the confederate
army because by doing so he could better
serve the Union.

Office furnishes no real cause to any one
to complain of the service rendered.
When we were at Washington a month
or so ago, we happened to meet the CO.
lionel at the National hotel, a place we
have stopped for fifteen years. In a
brief walk up the avenue with the
colonel we discovered that he was
full of fun. The newsboys were on the
streets yelling Posts and New York pa
pers, but the colonel would invariably
explain to them that unless they had a
Durham Sun or DURHAM GLOBE he could
not buy. And so it happened.that the
Durham papers received an advertise
ment from a rampant republican-but he
was first loyal to his town before he was
to his party. His asking the boys was a
joke-but he remembered his own papers.
Thus we conclude that COLONEL AL.
BRIGHT is a winner with a cancelling
stamp.
Did you ever have a talk with Mr..
WAsHINGToN DUKE? We call him Colo

has made plenty of money; he knows
how he made it and he knows how to in

we talk Of them as we meet them. We
will nave nothing to say of the thousands
which Mr.. DUKE has given to charity
and to public enterprise-we shall briefly
tell about meeting him. The gentleman
is fond Of a joke. He will perpetrate a
he has never yet felt too big to
see any n who wanted to.see him. This
old man has had several interesting talks
with him-and MR.. DUKES idea OF living
is to do good. He says that if he ever
again gets money enough to let loose a few
thousand as he has done, and as we know
will do, he will start a large manufac-
establishment where all kinds of
.aborers can get employment. He says
hat is true philanthrophy-that if he
IAN give 500 men work and then let them
the profits with the concern, based
what they earn he will he doing much.
Mr.. DUKE grasps the ideas as he goes
and is one of the best men you can
meet or send for in Durham. He is at
he head Of the great cigarette concern
nd he is a man who will talk to you and
me whom you will be pleased to meet.
he was the last one to meet us to-day,
his column closes until another time.
