Make Home EIappy.

Don't shut up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, nor your
hearts lest merry laugh should shake
down come of the musty old cobwebs
there. If you want to ruin your sons
let them think that all mirth and social
enjoyment must be left on the thres-
hold without when they come home at
night.
When once home is regarded as
only place TO eat, drink and sleep in,
the work is begun that ends in disap-
pointment. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere. IL
they don't find it at their own hearth
stone it will be sought at other and
less profitable places.
Therefore, let the fire burn brightly
at night, and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirit of
your children. Half an hour of mer-
riment around the freight OF home
blots out many a care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of "A bright lit
tie domestic circle.

4 Corner In Cats.

You may talk about your wheat
corners" said the old '49er, but they
don't compare with the corner in cats
a man got up in California in the early
days. San Francisco at that period
was tumble-down village OF pine
boards built on marsh. The place
was overrun with large, long-tailed,
voracious rats which made life bur-
den to the inhabitants. We who lived
there then wern't particularly delicate
in our personal tastes, but when ii
came to losing toes and fingers while
we slept we got right up and objected
to the limit of our vocabularies. There
were IA few eats in the town, of course
but they were kept too busy to
increase any, and their daily walks
were so full of excitement that they
didn't live long. Well, it finally got
10 be case OF too bad, and cats were
nary cat. Experienced eats and cats
with records brought higher prices.
Down in the southern part of the state
they had more cats than they knew
what TO do with. A smart chap in
Los Angeles heard about the state OF
affairs in Frisco, and he goes and
borrows all the money he can and then
buys up every cat south of Tchachipi
at four for 81. Then he loads Cap
Haley's Sea Bird with 'em, brings 'em
up to our town and auctions 'em off.
He gets as high as SO apiece and
clears several thousand dollars. The
cats did the business. too. and inside
of six weeks there wasn't a solitary
rat in San Francisco. But we had a
d of q time afterwards getting rid
OF the cats"

Parting the Hair In the Middle.

There are literally dozens of men in

or less as Miss Nancy, and he could
not hope for any sort of political pre-
ferment. To say of a politician run
ming for a local Office that he parted
his hair in the middle was to prophesy
inevitable disaster. With most people
there was but one way TO part the hair,
and that was well down over the left
ear. Nobody knows exactly when tho

GAMBLER KNOX HAD SAND.
His Desperate and Unequal Fight With "a
Band Of tpaches.

We were sitting one night at "a
freighters camp fire, around which
were drawn half n score or more OF the
freighters, who, with their outfits
were in camp for the night Stories
of old times. when the Indians were
bad, and OF the bravery of the white
pioneers, had gone around the circle
until it came to old man Wilson's turn,
who said:
Talk about sand in man. | tell
you il takes sand in IA man TO try and
stand of single handed forty or fifty
Apaches when he knows just how the
scrap will end, and that the end will
be his own death. But that was just
the kind of sand that was in Felix
Knox when he was killed by the Apa-
ches. You see Knox was IN all-around
gambler, such as the teaderfoot from
the east scorn so much and know SO
! little about. but he had heart in him
bigger than any tenderfoots head.
Well it was in the spring OF 1882.
Knox, with his wife and baby and a
Mexican driver, were coming from
Silver City TO Clifton. They got to
lork's ranch. which is on the ella
river, about thirty miles from Clifton,
all right. but were told there that signs
of Apaches had been seen. and that
they had better 90 in camp there for a
few days but Knox-who had fought
the Apaches dozens of times and didn't
know what fear was said he wanted
to make Clifton that day.
They drove on, and were about two
miles from Yorke's ranch when Knox
saw an Indian come from behind a
low, round-topped hill, and feeling as
sured there were more OF them. and
that it was IL fight TO the death. he
filled his pocket with cartridges, kissed
his little sleeping girl baby and his
wife for the last time, and. with n
'good-by' to them. he jumped from the
wagon and quickly turned the team,
and told the Mexican driver 10 whip
them back to the ranch and that he
would stand the Apaches off. As the
wagon turned and was furiously driven
away, the Apaches. who now came in
sight, fred volley. but killed no one.
Then Knox faced his foes and pumped
the lead from his Winchester into
them. The Indians gradually clrcled
around Knox and the end came. The
Mexican driver dashed his team back
TO the ranch, where both OF the horses
fell dead from wounds received from
the Indians first volley.
"A party, after a delay, was made
up, and returned TO the place where
the fight took place and there they
found knox's body. and the Indians,
contrary to their usual custom, had not
mutiated il in the least, but had taken
a clean pocket handkerchief from
Knox's pocket and carefully spread it
over his face. and had fastened il there
by putting n small stone on each
corner OF it, to hold it in its place.
That was their tribute TO the sand in
Knox. Seventy empty shells were
found that had been emptied from
Knox's Winchester, and one of the
raiding Indians had afterward said
their party numbered forty-two, and
that Knox had killed seven of them.

Governor HiII's Address.
"This Is an unaccustomed spectacle.
The scene which we are now witnessing
scarcely finds q parallel In oil the history
Of the world Tt is an occurrence upon
which the earnest attention of the whole
American people is rivited at this hour,
because of Its peculiar significance. Not
to the memory of great soldier or
famous statesman is this statue unveiled
to-day, but to plain citizen of the repub-
liza journalist, orator, patriot
Governor Hill then reviewed the early
life of Mr.. Grady up to the time he be-
came editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
and continued:
Journalist, orator, patriot Did ever
sculptor's chisel cut truer or worthier
epitaph? Journalist, orator, patriot.
What three words portray more truly
Grady's life work. What are fuller CT
instruction and signifcance? He began
when leaders were scarce and enterprises
were stagnated; when industry was para
lyzed and trade stood still. He left Off
when journalism was vigorous, when
prosperity had replaced poverty, and hope
and energy had taken the place of despair
and indifference. In this transformation
of conditions he was the most conspicuous
participant. True to his conception Of
Journalism and unselfish In his work, he
turned the wonderful power of the press
to the noblest purposes--the recovery of
his stricken land from the blight of war,
the restoration of it's prosperity, the de-
velopment of its resources. the resignation
of it's people to their hardships and the
kindling of new ambitions and new
ideals"
Coming to the famous New South"
speech delivered by Mr.. Grady at the
New England dinner, Governor Hill
said:
Grady, carrying to the North with him
that burden of a public career and by his
inspired eloquence convincing us of the
earnestness of his message, touched the
chord of human sympathy and true pa
triotism, and bound again the loosened
ties. From that moment appeals to sec
tional prejudice fell on deaf ears; from
that moment attempts to array section
against section were vain. The North put
away it's vague fears and it's animosities
engendered by war and allowed expires
sion to its quickened sympathies, which
the South, perceiviRg and feeling, met
with prompt response and frank trust
From that moment began new era o.
fellowship and fraternity
