MY Fellow Citizens: have found not only
pleasure, but instruction in riding to-day
through the portion OF the State OF Virginia
that is feeling in very striking way the inn
pulse of new development. 1t is extremely
gratifying TO notice that those hidden sources
of wealth which were so long unobserved and
80 long unused are nov being found, and that
these regions once so retired, occupied by pas
toral people, having difficult access to the CEN
ter OF population, are now being rapidly trans
formed into busy manufacturing and CONNER

country emigrants poured over the Allcghnnics
and Blue Ridge like waters over an obstruct-

farm regions of the great West. They passed

How to Kill q Turtle.

A bic turtle afforded the usual amuse-
ment for men and boys in front of a
Madison street restaurant. An on
locker raised up his voice and said he
would bet dollar that no one in the
crowd cou1d tell the process by which
turtle is killed. Whether no one knew,
or whether the crowd had been caught
in the Barring Brothers whirl, is not
known, but the bet remained open. The
man lowered it to a half, and it still
renamed son the table" After
he had departed another man, a
little fellow without any overcoat
or shirt collar, said: eff 1 had
had any stuff I would have taken that
bet. am professional turtle killer.
The business Is a profession, and isn't
picked up in a day. Now I will explain
to you gentlemen how to kill turtle. |
know none of you could do it after
tell you, but want to show you that the
duffer who bluffed the crowd doesn't
know it all. Sec9 Now pay attention.
First persuade your turtle to stick
out his head, and when he does you cut
his throat. If he gets obstinate and re-
fuses to stick out his head, it may be
necessary to grab the head with pair of
strong nippers, and hold the head be-
tween them until the throat is cut.
Then you cut the muscles that connect
the body with the shell, and leave the
turtle to die. Now, how Eany of you
can tell me how long that will take2
None. Of course not. You don't
know. Well, about twenty-four hours.
There is O good deal of the human
about turtle. 1t likes to hang on, the
turtle does. If I had had the stuff, I
could have won that bet." A philan-
thropic man in the crowd, who said he
was fond of turtle soup, tipped the man
quarter and passed on Chicago Tri-
June.
