Reminded Him of business.

A man who was not entirely dissoci-
ated from the market business, and
whose place is not thousand miles
from here, went to the White noun
tains with his family to spend his vaca-
ton. He chose hotel that stood ON
high ground. and was surrounded by
forests that breathed perfume through
the dry, exhilarating air, but, strange
to say, he was not comfortable, and
eventually he began to show signs of
illness. The airs too weak, up here, y
he said Even his appetite, ON which
he set great value, subsided, and his
thoughts and desires turned cityward
so strongly that he took no pleasure in
the mountains.
One day he turned faint and fell
back into an armchair. His family
became alarmed, but a friend hurried
out behind the kitchen and presently
returned with couple of fish heads
that had been cast out some days be-
fore and were in high state of pun
gency. He placed these under the
nose of a sick man, whose eyes opened
slowly, while his face widened with an
expression of glad wonder. He took a
few deep Limitations and broke out,

varIeties on Annles.

There are described by various writ
ers as having been at some time growing
in America-al of which have had
names given to them-some 1000
varieties of apples. As a matter
of fact. no apple comes from
seed exactly like its parent. Every
Seeding apple has, therefore, an in
diyiduality of its own, to a greater or
less degree. The manner in which ma
ture affects this variation has never yet
been determined, though there is rea-
son to believe rhythmic growth has
much to do with it. AT each rest nu-
triton is diverted to other directions;
in proportion to the duration of these
rests other portions become developed.
This is known as the law of accelera-
ton or of retardation.- Thomas Nee

Giving the cattle a Rs...

1t is found expedient to give the cat
tie that are brought from the ranches
of the Canadian northwest near the
Rocky mountains a chance to rest dur
ing their long journey to the Atlantic
coast. Cattle are not tortured with
hunger and thirst and tired to death
with the incessant jolting of the cars
day after day as they were when cattle
shipments first became a large item OF
railroad traffic. Every steer that is
taken on board the cattle cars of the
Canadian Pacific at the western ranches
is turned loose when he gets TO White
River, north of Lake Superior, into
large stockyards, where he has a
chance to recuperate.
Plenty of feed and running water
are supplied for the animals, and after
days rest they continue their jour
ney. Cattle shippers find that it pays
to give stock such an opportunity to
recover from the fatigue of the long
trip. and it is certainly a humane as
well as profitable feature of the cattle
trade. New York Sun.

ANDREW LANo's FAST BOOKS.


What the Famous Litterateur Read Whon
he Was Youth in Pinafores
The first books which wildly i'm
pressed me were, naturally, fairy tales
and chapbooks about Robert Bruce,
William Wallace and Rob Roy. at
that time these little tracts could be
bought for penny apiece. I can still
see Bruce and Wallace in full armor,
discoursing across burn, and Rob Roy
slipping from the soldiers horse into
the stream. They did not then awaken
a precocious patriotism; a boy of five is
more at home in Fairyland than in his
own country.
The sudden appearance of the White
Cat as a queen, after her head was cut
OF; the fiendish malice of the Yellow
Dwarf; the strange cake of crocodile
eggs and millet seed which the mother
of the Princess Frutilla made for the
Fairy of the Desert-these things. all
fresh and astonishing, but certainly to
be credited, are my first memories of
romance.

Nobody ever interfered with these.

Witch of Endor, were sabbatical lit
erature, read in a huge old illustrated
Bible. How I advanced from the
fairy tales to Shakespeare, what stages
there were on the way-for there must
have been stages-is a thing that MEM
DRY cannot recover.

The Military Company.

There should be some awakening to the
fact that military company means some
thing more than an assemblage of men.
With Owosso, having a company of the
state militia, certain prestige Is attached
to the town. The same military spirit that
aetuates the Grand Army men will be trans
mitted to the latter organization. The pro-
SESSIONS that contain the veterans and youth
can be looked upon as having the pride and
hope of the country, pride of the past and
hope of the future. While Owosso has lit
tie to fear from internal or domestic COM
plicatlons the very knowledge of a company
trained, is always factor in the observance
of law. In Ann Arbor number of the
leading citizens constitute the military
board of directors, Col. Dean and Major
Soule being among that number. There
should be this hearty support given the
body in Owosso. Should the Owosse COM
pany be incorporated in the state troops an
armory will be necessary. This would be q
building of such character as is needed here
where mass conventions, public gatherings,
etc, could be held on the ground floor.

1t is unfortunate that the celebration by
patriots, the national encampment of the
Grand Army at Detroit, and in the Colum-
bian exposition of the progress of art and
science that Michigan should have an un-
patriotic governor. Narrow and bigoted,
vindctiye toward soldiers, Governor Winans
opposes an appropriation for their entertain
ment. Think of Michigan's grand old war
governor, Austin Blair, bending every en-
ergy to forward troops to the front and
three decades after the survivors from the
state are the hosts and their comrades from
other states their guests, and petty puerile
Winans objects to paltry sum for enter
tainment. Michigan next to Illinois is vi
tally interested in the Columbian Exposition.
The products of its mines, factories and
fields should be exhibited, but Governor
Winans intimates that he will veto any
measure that provides for more than $75, 900
appropriation. When Michigan visitors at
the Worlds Fair see how Michigan's ex-
hibit was handicapped let them remember
never again to infict the misfortune of a
democratic governor.

The failure of Jas. M. Turner which is
announced, is hailed with delight by some
journals from the mere fact that Mr.. Turn
er politically differs from them and the jibes
connecting him with the failure of the Re-
publican party, is malice, pure and unadul-
terated. James M. Turner undoubtedly
has his faults, but his business ventures are
matters that connect him with the indus
trial world and the misfortunes of depress-
ed markets that have borne Turner down,
are the real causes of which no mention is
made. Right truly did ingalls, say that the
decalogue had no place in politics.

Ex-senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
was accredited u. s. minister to China.
The Chinese government refused to accept
him because Blair in the senate had opposed
Chinese emigration. Senator Blair's views
represent the prevailing feeling in the
United States Any other minister who
does not have the same views does not rep
resent the sentiment Of the United States.
Someone else may be found who has not ex-
pressed these convictions, but nevertheless
has them. The difference is very small.

uendos that THE TIMES favored a citizens

In this statement Mr.. Owen maketh and

the index to the character of the American,
and from that point of view the assumption
is made that similar motives actuate Others
At no time was there any thought of gain
to THE TIMES resulting from non-partisan

prove the citizens ticket or favor party
ticket, it simply did nothing, as usual, pre-

it." The attempts at wit last week OH the
part of the American editor were but the
reflections of his own character portrayed

New York failed to make any appropria-
ton for the exhibit of that state at the Co
lumbar Exposition. New York has a
democratic legislature and the probable
candidates for the presidency of that party.
Why is this? Is there no national spirit in
the party that the empire state neglects a
national enterprise. After having begged
OF other states for the Bartholdi statue
pedestal and for the Grant monument now
neglects what must be national benefit.

DELL RAPIDS, S. D., Oct 13.-There
have been some new and important de-
velOpments in the Bratton abortion
case, which has agitated the town the
past week. The coroner's inquest,
which was adjourned from last Wednes-
day night, was completed to-day at
about 10 a. m. A very thorough inves-
tigatIon was made under the direction
of States Attorney Bailey, and some
pretty strong evidence was obtained
against one Of the persons alleged to be
implicated In the case. The corOner'S
jury rendered a verdict to the effect
that the deceased, Mrs. Bratton, came
to her death from the effects of an abor-
ton produced by the use of instru-
mentS, which were found on the prem
iSeS, and that Charles Z. Bowman aided
in producing the abortion. Bowman was
arrested and taken before Justice Har-
rlngton for preliminary examination.
but al adjournment was granted until
tomorrow afternoon to enable the ac-
cused to obtain counsel, bail being fixed
at $500. The verdict of the inquest does
not implicate the other suspected per-
son, DT. w. B. Parker. Bowman is an
ex-saloonkeeper, who has boarded with
Mrs. Bratton for some time previous TO
her death, and took care or her during
her sickness. The deceased was grass
widow, the mother of four children, and
supported herself and family by wash
ing. The town has been greatly agi-
tated over the case and awaits further
developments with increasing interest

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 13.-Fire to-
night very badly damaged the Ameri-
can building, inflicting loss of about
$4,000; fully covered by insurance. The
fire was probably incendiary. 1t was
discovered in the hall on the first
floor alleyway entrance, and the
flames were mounting nearly to the sec
ond floor. The alarm was instantly
given to the printers in the fourth floor.
Some Of them escaped by the editorial
room. The flames cut off the escape of
the others by the stairways, and fully
twenty men took the fire escape. The
lack of prompt ladder connection kept
them on the fire escapes until the flames
were nearing them.
The last men out were badly burned.
and the injuries of ri. w. Brooks were
very serious, though 1t Is hoped not
fatal. j. <. Muirshead was also badly
burned. The foreman, Edward Buchaf-
an, escaped from the front window by
rope which was kept for Just such an
emergency. FL. G. Shearon, Who, with
Buchanan, was caught by flames be-
fore getting to the fire escape, got out
through the roof, and made his
way to the roof of the Y. NJ. G. A. build
