The wife Of a well known man in town
was living at Washington Heights. A
wild snowstorm was in progress. With
out previous warning of any sort she said
TO her family; II must go to town. feel
that George Is dying and that he wants to
see me-" George was an old friend of
years, but one whom she had not seen or
heard Of in months. In vain her family dis
suaded her; the carriage was ordered-it
was before the days Of the elevated rail-
road-and she made four hours journey
to town. Arriving at her friends house,
she was taken directly TO his room. A
clergyman was with him.
How | have wanted to see you'll" he
said. How prayed might not die I'M
til l saw youl There Is something must
say to you, and alone" The clergyman
left the room. The dying man took her
hand, told r what he had desired to tell
and died wi.n her hand ia his.-New York
Evening Sun.

that these areslebts of honor in the full
est sense of the phrase. They resulted
from practical wagers on puts and calls.
Mr.. Keene is a native of the south, he
and his once famous partner, George
Crouch, being of English parentage.
He went to California in boyhood, be-
came a lawyer, and while conducting
mining cases was led into speculation.
His success was wonderful. One day he
sprung trap ON Flood and O'Brien and
cleared So, 5000 in Belcher and Crown
Point, and another time made $500, 900
in Ophir. In 1876 he went to New York
with about s., 100000 Wall street Cos
sip ran to the effect that he had said he
came east with a parlor car full of cash
to drain Jay Gould, and that Gould re-
piled that he would send Mr. Keene
home in a freight car
He did it-almost. Keene was crushed,
but remained in New York. At first he
and Mr.. Crouch were partners with Mr..
Gould in Atlantic and Pacific telegraph
stock. In 1873 Mr.. Keene was embar-
raised and gave up his fine house. In
1881 he was richer than ever. His son,
the famous Foxhall Keene, was king of
the turf. Both were triumphant.
Mr.. James Keene studied the situation
and decided that the long depression of
1879 was to be followed by as many
years Of continuous boom. 1t wasn't.
The public knows the rest. AT one time
he lost $3,000,000 in wheat. In 1888
everything dropped. Jay Gould never
for one hour relaxed his relentless pur-
suit. His brokers and secret agents,
headed by the active Wash Conner, beat
down every stock which Keene held. On
the last day Of his battle the latter paid
$175,00O cash margins on his declining
stocks, then posted his bankruptcy. He
moved his family to modest dwelling
at Far Rockaway, dispersed his fine
stable and started at the bottom. Surely
every generous heart will rejoice to
learn that he is coming up again.

Ravages of Rabbits.

In some sections of California and sew
eral of the northwestern states the peo-
pie are beginning to realize that the
remarkable stories told of the ravages of
rabbits in Australia are true, because
they are now suffering somewhat from
the little pests themselves. The only
effectual means of abating the nuisance
so far discovered seems to be the
"drive," in which a number of men
form an enormous circle. which gets
smaller and smaller as all walk slowly
toward a central point, where little diff
ficulty is found in slaughtering all the
rabbits gathered in the ''round up" A
recent drive yielded several thousand
pairs of ears.

One Of the theories of the age was that
the devil set his mark upon each of his
servants-that witches were all marked.
A jury of the sex of the accused was ap-
pointed to examine the body for such
marks. 1t often happened that some ex-
crescence of flesh common to old people,
or one explainable by natural causes, was
found One such was found on the body
of Goody Nurse and reported to the
court, all but one of the jury agreeing to
the report. Rebecca Preston and Mary
Tarbell knew that the mark was from
natural causes. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woman of
the jury of examination was one of the
most ancient, skillful and prudent, and
further declared, Il there rendered a
sufficient known reason of the moving
cause thereof" She asked for the APP
pointment of another jury to inquire
into the case aud examine the marks
found on her person.
The jury Of trials returned a verdict
of not guilty. Thereupon all the ac-
cusers in court "cried out" with renewed
vigor and were taken in the most vio-
lent fits, rolling and tumbling about,
creating a scene of the widest confusion.
The judges told the jurymen that they
had not carefully considered one ex-
preston of the prisoner, namely, that
when one Hobbs, confessing witch,
was brought in as evidence against her
she said: "What, do you bring her? She
is one of u.s." The jury retired for fur
Their consultation. Even then they could
not agree upon verdict of guilty.
They returned to the courtroom and de-
sired that the accused explain the re-
mark. She made no response, and the
jury returned verdict of guilty.-New
England Magazine.

NY LOST LOVE.

last night dreamed dream so sadly CRATE

Fer would rest from Weakening secure,
dreamed held thee in loves fond embraces
And from thy lovely lips drank kisses pure.
Ali why could not lie forever dreaming,
With thee through loves sweet mazes 10 allure.
Ali better far TO stay for aye in slumber,
For this soft rapture ever to endure.
And were that wondrous calm that men call
death, love,
For me to fall a-droaming thus, Of thee
I'd count each hour Of life too dearly purchased
That kept me from that sweet eternity.

Palouse Wheat Prospects

The latest reports from the Palouse
country are to the effect that the con-
ditions are favorable for bonanza
wheat crop this season. There is now
more moisture in the ground through

has been for ten years past. Estimat-
ing last seasons yield in the Palouse
country at 100000 bushels, this sea-

ROUGE, DECEMBER II, 1891.

ADOPTED IN CONVENTION AT BATON
ROUGE, DECEMBER II, 1891.
The Democracy of the State of Louis
lana in convention assembled do hereby
declare their allegiance and support Of
the time honored principles of the Demo-:
cratic party which form the Foundation Of
q free government and the safeguard of
tire liberties of the people. They congrafu-
late the Democrats of this State and other
States on the result Of recent congressional
and State elections as %evincing the conf
dence of the people therein. they crate
fully acknowledge the Skillful election
labors of the minority of last Congress iu
defeating the odious aud undemocratic
force bill.
They congratulate the people of Louis
lana Oh the wise, careful and economical
administration of her State affairs; under
the leadership of her present executive.
Francis L. Nichols, Inc his colleaguesfin
office, the Finances OF the State have been
restored to a sound basis Int there is an
accumulation of 5000, 900 iii the treasury.
The parish debts have bee.t largely re-
duced and. in many instances, ex~tinguish-
ed; the leyees OF the State have been re-
built and enlarged and are stronger than
ever before. The State charitable institu-
tions have been greatly enlarged and i'm
proved. The school system has been inn
proved and extended; the present eOndi-
ton of the State excsedsin prosperity and
promise of future improvement any pre-
yious era in her history since the war.
The Democratic party of this Stafescan
thus claim, that through it's administra-
tion and by the o~bservances of the party's
principle, the State has been placed upon
the high road of general and individual
prosperity to a continuance of this bene-
hcent policy we pledge our nominees.
A single obstruction now stands in the
way of the progress of this State. An
amendment to the State constitution is
proposed whereby its revenues shall be
largely derived from the Louisiana Lot
terry. Such means of raising evenues are
at variance with the civilization of the
century, in opposition to and subversiye OF
all Democratic principles. Demanding equal
rights to all, and special privileges to none, we
hereby reafirm u unc0mprOmising hos
tility to the entire principle of lottery
gambling as denounced on the State Dem
oeratic platform of 1888.
We denounce the proposed amendment
to our State constitution to be submitted
to the vote of the people in April next asa
concession to a monopoly, wholly undemo-
cratic, III its adoption destructive OF our
liberties. No Democratic platform should
be adopted which does not condemn n
denounce all lotteries until they shall
have ceased to exist in Louisiana. nor
should any Democrat vote for any State,
legislative or judicial officer who is not
nnalterably opposed to lotteries and
pledged to promote the passage OF laws
the maintenance of these principles and
policy, this convention pledges its united
and individual support, and confidently
appeals to the Democrats of Louisiana to
move on in solid phalanx to assured VIC
tory.

The average pro-lottery editor in

the case when gets off tho beaten
