THE FARMERS BOY.

The poetry of farming exists
chiefly in the mind OF him who
looks on, rather than toll itself.
There is poetry in the summer
scene where the clean shaven mead
ow is thickly studded with green
cones of hay and the ox-cart creaks
under its fragrant load; but it is
prose of the baldest sort to the per-
spring farmer who is straining
every muscle to get in his crop be-
fore the shower comes up over the
hill. 1t is the dollars in the hay,
and not its fragrance, that he is
thinking ABOUT; nor is it any dis
credit to his common sense that he
should be more occupied with the
money value involved than with the
picturesqueness of the situation.
We must not expect poem on the
golden rod from the man who spent
hours of hard work in attempting to
exterminate it; nor can we look for
him any expression of admiration
for the daisy, when its presence in
his grass means pecuniary loss, 70
him the shrill cry Of the hen hawk
conveys but one message and that is
that his chickens are in danger.
The balt-articulated gutterAl of the
young crow is merely reminder of
the corn pulling and thieving pro-
pensities of that bird. The staccato
whistle of the woodchuck has no
charms for him, for it is promise
that his young apple trees shall be
gnawed and a threat that his clover
shall be trodden down to make
paths for this numbering freebooter
to travel home in. He loves the
cuckoo only in times of drouth, and
sees beauty in the rainbow only
when his parched fields have
quenched their thirst. His love for
the robbins even can never be un-
qualified, for do they not peck at
his cherries and steal Ills early peas!
The waving of the ripening grain
and the rustic of the corn would be
pleasanter to see and sweeter tc
hear, were it not for his apprehen.
sion that the rust would get into his
wheat or early frost cut short hi
crop.

DEEP PLOWING.

'..Plow deep, and you shall have
corn to sell and to keep" But
Benny Franklin, though he knew
most everything, didn't know how
deep that was, orhe would have told
us so; he was very precise man.
In some parts of the east two and
one-half inches is about as ceep as
they dare go, for below that is moth
ing but hard pan, and it is not of the
tin pan order. There are no leaks
in it, it holds water both ways, it
will neither go down when it rains
nor come up when it doesn't. Con-
sequeDtly three and one-half inches
is deep blowing. But all over the
west the soil is from two to four feet
deep, and deep blowing is as deep as
three horse team can put a pillow
into the ground, say twelve inches.
And there is no prettier sight than
to see three horses blowing one foot
deep, and throwing turrow which
scatters three feet from the land
side.-Gernantown Telegraph.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.

"Can you tell me whereas goo

asked young man Of an old uncle
who had been quite successful in
business.
Anywhere is good place." re-
piled The uncle. Success depends
on the man and not on the place."
"You don't mean to say that a
man can do as we'll in a country
town as in city,"
eff he has the element of success

his environments will admit, and as
he..gets too big for these he will find
other chances open for him to en-

to compel success. He has to liter.

vent success, NO matter where he

Burglars, "mashers" and bad men
generally are warned to keep away
from Mary Hern, a domestic servant
at Louisville, Ky. The other day,
while Mary was busy in the kitchen,
a stranger entered, seized her by the
throat, land ordered her to tell where
her mistress money was kept. In
stead of doi.g so she struck tie in
truder blow in the stomach which
doubled him up, knocked him down,
and stamped him with her feet until
he became insensible. Then she
raised window, took the man by
the heels and threw him out. He
was revived by the fall and ran
away. The battle over, Mary re-
freshed herself with good cry and
resumed her labors.

The Mighty Sullivan on q Spree.

ST. Louis Republic,
Among the many stories told of
Sullivan's drunken escapades is
one 10 the effect that he entered a
Market street saloon late Wednes-
day night, and after ordering the
drinks for the house, and making
a great racket, he drew out a thick
roll Of bills, which he declared to
be something like $4,000. Throw
ing the money on the floor he put
his foot on it, exclaiming that any
man who could put up a good
enough fight to make him bulge
from the spot could have the
money.
No one accepted the proposition.
This is only one of the displays
Sullivan makes of his money and
his Drawn.

Everyone hung back, suspicious
OF him, until green, gawky-look.
ing individual pushed his wav
forward.
"Mister," he questioned, "may I
take squint at them keerds?"
Certainly" replied the profes.
sional as he handed them over.
The countryman inspected them
susp'ciously, and then apparently
satisfied, returned them, but did
did not take the bet.
1.-The cards are all right aren't
They'll" the professional asked.
"Yaas," the countryman said,
hesitatingly.
"Why don't you take my bet,
then?"
"Well, I don't know; I amt
much of a betting man."
The professional saw that the
countryman was more than half
inclined to take him up, and to make
sure of his game he said:
Come, I'll bet you ten shillings
to five shillings; fifteen shillings to
FIVE shillings; s5 to five shillings."
Hanged if I don't take ye," ex-
claimed the countryman, after a
moments hesitation, and, diving
into his pocket, he drew out strip
of calico apparently sample to
show his girl), some cheese, a plug
of tobacco, several horseshoe nails,
and, lastly a dyspeptlc looking
leather purse, from which he ex.
tracted two half crowns, which he.
placed in the hands ola bystander.
The professional speedily covered
the deposit with a bright sovereign
and then, thoroughly shutting the
pack as prelude, he grasped the
cards firmly in one hand, and pro-
ducing a sharp pocket-knife he cut
every card in two at a stroke.
"There," he exclaimed, tri-
umphantly, haven't I cut the
knave of diamonds?"
" I'll be eternally blamed if you
have" the countryman replied,
producing that veritable card from
his sleeve, whittier he had pre-
viously conveyed it while pretend
ing to examine the cards. The
countryman quietly pocketed the
stakes and the professional skunk
off.

FIGHTING FIRE.
Terrible Fate Of a Relief Crew in The
Pennsylvania Forest Fires.

CouDERsPoRr, Pa, May H.
Tonight the little towns of Austin,
Costello, Galeton and Moore's Run,
in Potter county, are on the verge
OF panic, two especially being
threatened with annihilation from
fires, that seem to form an impene-
trable wall on every side. For
several days past the skies have
been lighted up with fires in
every direction and the flames
crept steadily toward the helpless
towns, until it was seen that the
people must fight. At Moore's
Run, on the Mahoning road, a train
load of seventy-five willing men,
sent out from Austin, Sunday night,
have been fighting the fire by
every conceivable means. They
made trenches, piled up earth and
lighted back fires, but were finally
obliged to retreat. The men
hastily boarded the train and
started to make the run to another
point, when it was found that they
were hemmed in by forest fires on
one side and a huge skidway of
burning logs on the other. 1t was
finally decided to dash past the
burning skidway and the engineers
and fireman's faces were covered
with damp cloths and their arms
and hands covered with wool.
They dashed through the wall of
fire.
The seventy-five exhausted men
gathered in groups on the flats for
protection or lay on their faces on
the floors. AS the blazing furnace
OF logs was approached the heat
became unbearable, and the smoke
was so binding and sitting that
the men were obliged to cover their
mouths with cloths.
Just opposite the million feet of
burning legs, where the heat and
smoke and flames were the greatest
a terrible thing occurred. The en-
gineer had forgotten that such
great heat would surely warp the
rails. Suddenly there was a lurch,
an omnibus heaving and shrek
of despair as the train toppled over
into the hell of fire beneath. A
scene ensued never to be forgotten
by those who escaped, though
every man will bear to the grave
the mark of that awful moment.
The cars caught fire like so
many playthings and the men
within. half blinded and scarcely
realizing anything except that they
were being slowly roasted to death,
struggled fearfully to regain the
track, where safety lay for the time
at least. Those uninjured from
the fall and only smarting from
the pain of the intense heat bravely
turned their burned and blackened
hands to aid the more unfortunate
fellows. The superintendent ofthe
railroad, who was in charge of the
train, went down under some of the
wreckage and was undoubtedly
burned to death. Six others also
miserably'perished At once or died
soon afterward, and thirty others
Of the party were badly burned,
many probably fatally, having in.
hailed the flames. Seven others of
the party are missing and their
fate unknown, though they are
likely in the oharred wood Of the
logs or train. The remainder Of
tho party saved themselves by
lvinn down in the creek.

NEW COUNTY ROAD LAW.

It VIII Be Presented to the House in a Few
Days.
rFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, Feb. 1.-The county road
law, which will be presented in the House
this week, will provide for the appropria-
tion of about 81, ,OOO,O 900 by the State to the
building of permanent roads. This, it is
said by the Legislators, who have talked to
the trainers of the bill, will be distributed to
the townships in manner similar to the
distribution of the public school appropria-
tion. This is to be given with the hope that
townships will contribute from their local
taxes additional money foHpermanent macad
amizing. For this purpose the bill will
probably permit townships to borrow money
up to the constitutional debt limit.
In each township three supervisors are to
be chosen, who will serve without pay.
They in turn employ foreman, or several
foreman, at, say 81 so per day, to oversee
the gangs of road laborers. In each county
an engineer will be elected to pass upon the
road work in all the townships. Owing to
the revision not yet being complete, the COM
mission will not make the full text of the
bill public for some days yet.

SEIZED BY vENEZUELANs.
British Bark Captured and All Explana.
tions Refused Her Captain.

A British Bark Captured and All Explana-
tions Refused Her Captain.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The steamer Andes
(British), Captain Evans, from Trinidad;
January "a, arrived here to-day bringing
as passengers the captain and crew of ten
men of the British bark Lydia Peschau.
seized by the Venezuelan Government Oc-
tober r6. The captain reports that being
sick and unconscious he was taken ashore in
small fishing vessel to the hospital at
Trinidad, and that while the bark was beat
ing around in charge of the mate be became
short OF water and put into the Margarita
Island, and before anchoring sent boat
ashore asking for water. About 80 soldiers
rowed out in small boats, eight of whom
were sent aboard the bark, took the mate
and second mate ashore and kept them
there, leaving no one on board who could
take the vessel to sea. They supplied the
bark with food and treated the men gener-
ally well, but stripped the vessel of sails
and took the captains clothes, watch and
jewelry.
On November the captain chartered the
steamer Muriel to 60 to Margarita Island
and tow the bark up, but when they reached
the island the authorities refused to give the
vessel up, offering no cause whatever. On
the 10th all the sailors were sent to Laguayra
to the British Consul. On the 22d the cap
tain again visited the vessel in accordance
with orders from the Governor of Trinidad
and the Venezuelan Consul there, but they
still refused to give up the vessel. The En-.
glish Governor then ordered the captain to
proceed to New York, as it would take at
least three months to settle the matter. The
bark was bound from Wilmington, N. c.,
to Trinidad with load of yellow pine
lumber.
