According to the New York Truth, the
outcome of the experiment now being
tried by NJ. Gilbert Tompkins at his
Southern farm, near Sau Leaudro, CAL, f,
will, In all probability, be complete
revolution in the accepted method of
training horses for speed. The system
the idea is not absolutely new, but has
never before been applied on C large
scale-consists in training horses in the
water, making them swim in tanks of
tepid salt water instead of the constant
track work that has lamed so many
promising animals. The swimming re.
duces flesh rapidly aud Strengthens the
muscles and improves the wind as much
as ten times tho same time spent on the
track, and a very little supplementary
track work puts the horse in condition
to make a record. Should this system
prove all that it now seems to be, Mr..
Tompkins will have done much to further
the improvement of horse flesh.

LOVE STRONG AS DEATH.
Nay, say not, Sweet, that Love has turne
away


Nay, say not, Sweet, that Love has turned
away
Because one day
he gathered alien flowers while t was May,
For Love is Love, and cannot go that way
Tho little loves there be that dance and
sing,
And kiss and cling,
And praise the light and laughter of the
Spring,
But OH dark days, like birds, forbear to
sing.
Shall Love that bore the blast and did not
fail
Now cover and quail
Strong Love that blanched not then, to-day
turn pale?
Nay, Love is Love, my own, and cannot
fail.
Oh, could Love cease, or change, or pass
away,
Then the soui's day
Would turn TO night, unlit by any ray;
But Love, Sweetheart, can never pass away

A Uninne Portrait.

Many remarkable stories are told con
cerning the wonders of penmanship,
such as the work of Johu,J. Taylor, OF
Streator, Ill.,, who once wrote dO0O
words on the blenk side of apostal card /;
and the Austrian who wrote 400 letters
on grain Of wheat; but in the estlma-
tion of the writer, Gustave Dahlberg, IA
Swedish university student, has eclipel

This wizard of the pen has made
portrait of King Oscar, the whole in
microscopic letters, forming short and
long extracts from the Bible.
The right eye of this wonderful
portrait is made up of even verses from
the Psalms of David; the left of verses
from the Proverbs of Solomon, the Book
of Chronicles, and the Song of Solomon,
containing in all 317 words and 1903
letters. Tn, Kings uniform IS com
posed of the whole of the first fifty
Psalms.
The exact number of words and letters
in the whole portrait is not stated, but
Judging from the fact that it took 1903
letters to ma one eye, the whole mum
Der of letters in this triumph OF the pen
mans art cannot fall much short of
$4,000. In making the name of the
King alone, Dalhberg used all of the
Royal Greek prayer and the cXxvi. and
cxxvii. Psalms, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The portrait which is said to look
life-like and natural, is on tinted paper
of the kind known as "Hayne's Stand
ard, - and is so small that United States
half-dollar laid upon it comparatively
hides it from view. Taken all in all, it
is accounted the most wonderful piece
of penmanship ever executed.

The Mckinley Bin Gets a Lick.

Charleston News and Courier.
w. L. Douglas, the Massa-
chusetts shoe manufacturer,
whosepicture adorns so many OF
the newspapers in this country,
knocked the Mckinley tariff bin
out in one round at Brockton
the other night. Rising Sun
Morse said sometime ago that
Mr.. Douglas was getting So
prosperous under the Mckinley
tariff bull that he could not af-
ford to run for Congress-" In
his speech AZ Brockton, Mr..
Douglas Informed Mr.. Morse that
1.-THE Mckinley bill had nothing
TO do with the Prosperity of the
shoe business, as i can prove to
him by an examination of my
books. The Mckinley tariff
went into effect November IL,
1890, and for three months fol-
lowing my business fell off 80
per cent. How did | regain it,"
continued Mr.. Douglas. "By
doubling my force of statesmen
and increasing the amount of
my newspaper advertising.
Mr.. Douglas discussed the free
hides question and its relation
to the shoe industry. He said
that Brockton's prosperity was
due to free raw material and
that was good for the shoe in
dnstry was also good for the
iron, building aud wooden in-
dustries. Good for the man who
makes good shoes at 50 n pair
and does not ask or expect any
legislation from Congress to

procession. The careful reader
will observe that Mr.. Douglas

Less Than oae Million .

Asheyille Citizen
In 1880 there were in circula-
tion in North Carolina over two
million dollars IN national bank
notes. Today there is less than
one million in circulation. The
Democrats propose to take the
10 per cent. tax off of State
banks, and thus allow the PEG
pie of North Carolina to in
crease the circulating medium
to meet the demands Of business.
The. money issued by these
State banks can have for its
basis North Carolina bonds,
worth over 100 cents on the
dollar in gold, and as good as d
national bond, the basis of the
national bank notes. Pritchard
says this means wild cat mon
ey. In fact, Prichard says the
people have money enough,
aud his party does not propose
to give them any more. The
people who want more money
should remember this when
they vote.
