All sut Hanged Him.

simon Close, of Cabot Lonole County, made several trades for stock, among which he secured horse from Joe Sims. Sims met Close in Cabot and demanded re-exchange of stock claiming that he had been swindled, Failing to in- duce Close to trade back, he told him that the horse was mortgaged, and that he (Ciose) would be arrested. Close said, "All right, ' and the two men rode ont of Cabot together. About four miles out they were met by three on four friends of Sims, who immediately put a rope around Closes neck and told him they would hang him unless he returned the horse to the man from whom he got it. Close declared to the men that he had traded the horse off, and they prepared, it is alleged, to swing him into eternity. The horse-trader begged for his life. and the men finally agre ed If he would pay $50 they would turn him loose. Close was permitted to write note to his wife requesting her to bring the money, and while one of the nen went to find Mrs. Close the others guarded her husband. The woman re turned with the man, bringing the morey to purchase her husbands life. Close reported the affair at Cabot, and posse of citizens organized to capture the gang. Joe Sims was located at lifs fathers house, and on being invited out side opened fire on the posse. The fire was returned and Joe received a slight wound in the leg. His father was also slightly wounded. Since the capture of Sims, three others, said to have been implicated, have been arrested.

The Deed nfn Eiend.

Joe Wood, Little Rock sporting character, who has been in that city for some time, was arrested the other morning by the police, charged with the heinous crime of applying a red-hot poker to boy four years old, running the little fellow for life, if not fatally iniuring him. The complaint was filed by the boys mother, who has been liv- ing with Wood. The brute was only fined S1O0 and sent to the worl1-house for ten days. It seems the poor little fellow did not go to bed when Wood ordered him, hence the flendish act.

A Few Hints.

A good constitution in a hog is in
herited, not made.
Sour milk is treat both to hens
and to little chickens.
If only one thing is used coal oil is
probably the best for lice.
Provide q shelter under which the
young fowls can run whenever it rains.
Giving the hogs the run of the tim
Der pasture will maintain better
health.
Young poultry should not be allow
ed to 60 on the roosts too early; it
causes deformed breasts.
Hens should never be fed so we'll
that when they are given a good
range they will not forage good por-
ton of their time.
Turkeys can, to considerable ex-
tent be given sweet skinned milk in
place of water, and if the drinking YES
sells are kept clean will be all the health
ier.
"The advantage OF Matching guineas
under common hens is, that properly
managed, they are usually gentle
than if the guinea hens are allowed to
hatch them out and raise them.
While old hens usually lay larger
eggs than pullets the shape of the egG
has little or nothing to do with the
life germ, and if the broad end is
smooth and the egg is properly fertiliz.
ed it will hatch.

right at the seat of difficulty, is accom-
piished by the sure and steady aim OF
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with a pop-gun, nor a
Flint-lock," when this reliable "Win-
chester" is within reach!
DR.. Sage's treatment of Catarrh in the
Head is far superior to the ordinary, and
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results in a permanent cure.
Don't longer be indifferent to the veri-
fed claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap
pear with the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or of how long standing. It's
a remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands OF
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason its makers back their faith in
it with money. They offer $500 reward
for case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
It's a medicine that allows them to
take such risk.
Doesn't common sense lead you to
take such q medicine?

Funny, isn't it, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
is positive and the guarantee absolute.

Ouizzed by Lincoln.

Judge Glenni w. Scofield was per-
sonal friend of Abraham Lincoln. A
Warren County private, having
knocked down his captain, was tried,
convicted and sentenced to the Dry
Tortugas. His friends urged scofeld
to have him released, SO he went
to see the President and told his
story. Listening attentively, Lincoln
replied. II tell you, judge, you 60 right
down to the capitol and get Congress
to pass an act authorizing a private
soldier to knock down his captain.
Then come back here and / will par
don your man." The Judge says,
there was such an air of quizzical
earnestness about the Presidents
manner that they both broke out in
an cut burst OF laughter. The judge
did not press the case further. -Har-

Incubator Experience,

The Farm, Field and Stockman pub
fishes the following experience of J. F.
Wood with incubators.
l see very littlein print, from those
who are running incubators, in regard
to their experience with the machine.
Is it because they are not very sue
cessful, or is their success so great they
are afraid of too much competition?
Iwant to relate some of the difficult
ties l find, and if anybody can give
any pointers to bel p me any l would
be glad to hear from them. l have
been trying artificial incubation this
summer for the first time.
From all the information I could
gather on the merits of incubators the
one / have is as good as any. 1t is easy
to run, even here, where the outside
temperature always cools off in the
night from 90 degrees.to 40 degrees.
have kept it steady at about 1O3
degrees to 104 degrees with very little
variation. 1t is top heat. The water
in the pans underneath evaporates
readily, yet is always cool.
So far l have only been able to
hatch about two-thirds of the fertile
eggs; the others are dead in the shell,
when almost ready to come out and a
few pip and then die. Those that
hatch come out lively and smart.
Now is this the common experience
with incubators or am ! or the incu-
bator at fault? There is something
wrong somewhere, for have set forty
hens with the same kind of eggs, and
when they set steady every fertile EGG
has Matched.
Will some one explain the difficulty
Is q machine that has both top and
bottom heat any better?

Tough on the Couple.

A pretty girl from out of town had
been staying for some time with a
young lady friend in Buffalo, and as
the time for her departure drew nigh a
young man from out of town turned
up and volunteered to attend the
young girl on her homeward journey.
The hostess put up liberal lunch
for the travellers and then filled in all
the crevices with rice. She also put
some in the youngm S coat pockets,
slid some into the young lady's para
sol, and likewise deposited some in the
depths of the young mans umbrella.
Both boarded the train without notice
ing these suggestive additions to their
traps. The result is not yet known,
but as theyoungman is slightly bashful
and the young lady is known to blush
on slight provocation, the conse-
quences, when the rice fell all over the
car floor, can be imagined.-[ Buffalo

FRENCH REPARTEE.
Some Clever Answers BY Clever
FrenChnen,

The late Chinese Minister in Paris
is credited with a reply as skillful as
it was courteous to great lady who
besieged him with questions con-
corning his creed. He evaded them
adroitly until she demanded to know
whether it was true that his religion
permitted a plurality of wives.
"Of necessity, madame" he re-
piled, "a man must have several
wives in order to secure all the virtues
which are nowhere combined but in
you"
The lNdy blushed and smiled, but
was silenced. Less civil was the
answer of the young French minister
who, while preaching in q chapel in a
French hamlet, where the men sat on
one side of the aisle ana the women
on the other, was annoyed by the
sound OF whispering and paused in his
sermon to reprove it.
"Your reverence will observe" in
terposed the principal woman that it
comes from the mems side"
$50 much the better, madame. 1t
will end, then, some time"
A sharp reply or finely-turned
bon mot is never forgotten in France.
1t is q treasure in which the people
take eager delight, as do other people
in their crown jewels. Someone who
had a keen perception of national
characteristics referred to this trait
when he said: "In Spain men ask of a
newcomer. What is his birth? In
Germany, What has he read? In
France, What has he said? In Hol-
land Howmuch money has he?' In
Great Britain, is he English? And
in America, What kind Of man is
he?"
"Who are these?" asked Louis
Philippe, when several fat noblemen
seeking places at Court kept bowlng
low before him.
"Only jugs, your Majesty" was the
answer, "that are lowered in order to
be filled"

How to Roll an Umbrella.

Certainly, but you don't need
any," said a salesman in a Chapel
street store recently, to customer
who had just bought an umbrella,
and who had asked for q rubber ring.
"But l want to keep the ends of the
ribs from spreading when the umbrella
is rolled up" and the customer held
up for inspection the umbrella he had
just rolled.
"Let me show you," said the sales
man, as he unfastened the band and
shook out the folds. Grasping the
stick so that his right hand held the
ends close to the wood, he began roll
ing the silk with the curve of his left
hand. Whenever he gave the umbrella
a turn he kept the ribs in their origin
al position, and when the rolling was
complete, he held up the umbrella,
and showed that the metal tips
pressed as closely to the stick as if
riveted in place.-New Haven Palla-
dunn.

plloric acid, and is q most admirable
manure for garden and fruit crops.
have found it to give good results
wherever tried in the garden, but it is
especially valuable on lawns and in
the green house, though for green
houses and pot plants generally it
should be used in connection with
small amount of potash salt. In the
open field have used it at the rate of
1000 pounds per acre without any
injury, and this is probably as large a
quantity as could be applied at Sne
time economically. A much smaller
quantity, from 400 to 600 pounds,
would be enough for an ordinary ap-
plication to lawn or field in grass.
To the lawn it would be well to apply
it several times in the course of the
growing season, and if possible just
before rain. Also on garden crops
it should be applied several times at
intervals of three or four weeks dur
ing the growing season. On plants in
pots | used it at the rate of one tea
spoonful to five inch pot, applied to
the surface of the soil. The price at
which it is sold at the present time
varies from $40 to SIS per ton f. o. b.
in south St. Paul. This material is at
present our cheapest commercial
source of phosphoric acid and nitro

About Bees.

There is question in the minds Of
most bee keepers, whether or not the
acts of the bee aregoverned by instinct
or reason. On this subject the Phre-
biological Journal takes the position
that the acts of the bees are governed
by intelligent thought. To prove this
it cites the fact that bees gather
honey only in climates subject to
wintry weather. If our bees are tax
en- to Australia where the summers
are perennial, they learn in a few
years to store up no honey, gathering
it only as they need it for sustaining
life. The only way the Australian
can get honey is to import queens
from cold countries every few years,
they not having learned that the
storing up OF honey is unnecessary.

BLIND, DEAF AND DUMB.
Yet Richard Clinton Has Acquired
an Education and a Trade.

Yet Richard Clinton Has Acquired
an Education and Trade.
One ofthem remarkable inmates
OF the New York institution for the
deaf and blind is Richard Clinton, who,
though deaf, dumb and blind, has in
the fourteen years he spent in the asy-
lum acquired an education and q self
supporting trade. He was born in
Dublin with the senses of sight and
hearing perfect. One eye was destroy
ed in childhood by an explosion and
an attack of scarlet fever cost him the
other eye and his hearing.
He was for q time in q school for
deaf mutes in Ireland, but it was not
until he entered the New York institu
ton that he derived benefit from the
instruction given him. Here he has
been taught the ordinary branches of
education and has acquired the trade
of bottoming chairs. He learned to
write by using rule to guide his hand.
OF late he has learned to use the type
writer and has discarded the pen.
Clinton uses the sign language in con-
versation and reads the replies of his
companions by touching their hands.
His touch is abnormally sensitive, as
is often the case with the blind. By
touching the hand of friend he rec
ognizes the person, and he recalls an
old acquaintance from whom he has
been long separated by feeling his face,
hands and form.
The other boys in the institution
treat Clinton in their play as roughly
as if he had sight. He never resents
such treatment. He is only angered
when he is pitied. When he is pushed,
he recognized the persons attacking
him by the manner in which they touch
him. Many tricks have been played
upon him, but it rarely happens that
he gets caught twice by the same trick.
