eninently noted for longevity. many
of them having passed beyond the al
lotted limit of tl1ree-score and ten,
and even four-score years. Replying
to special inquiries from the source
above referred to, the writer must
say he never knew one of the name in
Accomac to be q prominent church
membcr. AS rule, they have been
Democratic in politics, mostly farm
ers by occupation, though few of
them have been eminent in several
lines of mechanical art. They have
been universally known and esteemed
as worthy citizens, and have com
manded the respect of every COM
munity in which they have lived.
Concluding this imperfect sketch,
the writer has been pleased to learn
interesting facts relative to descend
ants of the family living in the South
and West, from the pen of one of the
descendants of George Harmon, q
Methodist minister in Indiana. The
following details are authoritively
added: George Harmon, who married
Amelia Polk, moved to Chatham
county, N. G., in 1907. His oldest
son, James still lives in that county,
aged SIS; William and Thomas reside
near Elwood, Madison county, Ind,
aged, respectively, So and 70 years.

"ALLEGRo" IN PROSE.
He Oiscourses the Mystic Art and Other
Matters.

DEAR HOwARDs-SOme one, long time
ago. asked, or rather mentioned. being at
Nashville, ILL.,, laat fourth of July and
wanted to know i'll was there. Yes, was
there, and spent very pleasant day on
duty.
do not know that l have the honor of
my friends acquaintance, but it's pleas
ure to think we were in the same city at
the same time anyway! But I'm really
sorry did not form your acquaintance
and also in being so long In acknowledge
ing your courtesy. have very pleasant
memory of my stay there, but truth COM
pels me to say nothing more.
Some one asked me about learning the
mystic art. and to all aspirants, Pm sorry
to say, it's one of the poorest-ps:d depart
ments of ekilied labor. | could not ad-
wise any one to take it up, knowing so
we'll the responsibility resting on one and
the years it takes to become proficient.
have worked the key now for three
years, and am one among the poorest vet.
I'm told it takes one five or six years to
attain anything near to being frst-class.
There is charm about the ticking of an
instrument that holds me, or L sometimes
think | would try something else.
My last production looked somewhat
confused. but have no fault to find more
than with nature, for the typo is not TO
blame for what he can't read. humbly
beg his pardon. l would be rather timid,
fear, to ask young lady to excuse any
of my faults. | believe the lesser task
and one of greater wisdom would be to
ask her to forget she had ever known me.
My greatest fault is not knowing how
many l have got, or /, surely knowing,
would not have any.
This is rather a queer train of thought,
but / believe people do not recognize
faults in themselves that are judged as
faults by others and / am sure there is no
one that can Judge another from the fact
its impossible to devine the motive that
prompts them. Possibly we might do the
same thing fully and think
we were right. We may read character
perfectly as depicted upon the face and
form, but science has as yet been unable
to read another's mind.
remember once of an incident that
occurred at an entertainment. 1t so hap
pened by the way, that / was in the care
of a young lady and some remark
was made of the actors
in fact we were appointing ourselves
critics, and she complimented one young
gentleman very highly. and l told her he
was married, whereby quite an argument
arose. for she would not take my word for
it as / could give no better reason than
that / could tell BY his looks. So the lady
was called on TO settle the question, and
she almost tainted when told that he was
married, with three children. / thank
you all heartily for kindly greeting and
extend welcome to all new members.
With congratulations for our newly mar
ried, l am yours for life, ALLEGRO.

LETTER FROM OREGON.
a New Contributor Tells About Baker City,
Min M and Live stock.

DEAR Howard FRIENDs-A year and a
half ago, taking Horace Greeley's advice,
came West Ito grow up with the coun-
try" l landed III what the real estate
"boomers" here call the Denver of
Eastern Oregon" | don't think they
mean it, though.
Baker City is beautiful little town of
5000 or more inhabitants. situated at the
head of Powder river valley, 352 miles
from Portland. We have a very dry
climate, the dust getting almost as deep in
summer as the mud sometimes gets in
Indiana in the early spring. IL is, too, a
very healthy climate, the death rate in
this county being less than in any other
county in the state. The principal occu-
pations here are mining, raising live stock
and small grain. The mines Weld gold
principally; the farms must all be irri-
gated to be of any value. The farmer,
though, sees a comparatively easy time,
and think the average Oregon farmer is
inclined to be more or less lazy.
He don't have to work hard, though.
In April he puts in his crop
of wheat. oats, barley, etc., and after
his irrigating bitches are made properly
through his fields, he generally does moth
ing but irrigate, which is easily done, as
often one gate" is sufficient to water q
whole farm. Harvest comes in August,
mostly, and is ended some time in Sep
tember. The rancher now takes a vaca-
ton until sometime in November, when
he begins to ride over the range to gather
in his horses and cattle. This should be
accomplished within months time,
after this he does nothing but feed and
cut wood for the next year. In March,
the calves and colts that are old enough,
are branded, and all are driven TO the
hills to live on bunch grass and grow fat,
either for the fall market or to prepare for
q severe winter.
You never saw cowboys brand, likely.
Well, two men on trained bronchos select

"Tycho" Advocates the Alliance and Wants

II. L. G. FRIENDs-And so you belong

1. The grippe and have lodged together
twice since January, also, but l hope We
have adjourned and that it will never
come my way again. It certainly is a
very dangerous disease, as it augments
bronchitis and invites pneumonia.
The alliance is great institution. 1t is
worthy of existence were it merely a So
cial organization. The alliance is very
powerful order, and it is discreet in most
of its demands. That is the true spirit
Asking is failure so far as the labor and
producing interests of the country are
concerned. The alliance and others have
the power to dictate as well as demand.
! do not think it would be proper to go
into party, for l believe We can effect
more without party than with one. Not
many men can be elected TO official posi-
tions from the rural districts unless they
accept the demands of labor organiza-
tons.
do not think we should be too radical
right at once, and yet think that within
few years we shall witness reform that
are now little expected. 1t will become a
historical fact that the farmers
and laborers of every occupation
represent the intellectual and progressive
spirit of the times. Civilization is not yet
respectable. 1t is animaiistic in its en-
tirety. When the labor organizations Of
America shall dictate then civilization
will become more respectable.
The labor orders of the country. such
as the +. A. and l. T., the +. NJ. B. A,
the X. of L., and others affiliating, are
the most charitable institutions, mentally
and morally. in the world. Justice
and equity are two of the
great, strong principles which they
maintain. At present ignorance and sell
tishness are the ruling powers of govern
ment. Some men think if they don't grab
as they 90 that they will fail in life. Ow-
ing to class legislation and sectionalism it
appears that the grab theory has been the
only successful one. hope the grabbers
will wake up some fine morning and find
that new order of things has been estab-
lished. Dishonesty and sectienalism have
dragged civilization into the slough of
degradation. 1t must be re-established on
a plan of justice and equity.
IL there Is to be any sectionalism in the
country lev the West predominant. High
protection has been O sectional affair
until recent years. when it became pre-
ferred or class institution. New England
was the section for the ingress and egress
of the vile breath of high protection. Lit
tie did New England care what party
chempioned its designs, so that they were
successful.
The West must become sectional for a
few years to come, not for the sake of re-
tallation, but from necessity and justice.
She has the power ana the millions, and
no kickers anywhere would dare to make
any demonstrations. the South, thank
fortune, is with us. "TYCHo."
