to resign, the Vice President Morton,
who, the country knows, would make
a dignifled, safe and patriotic presi-
dent, nominate Gen. Harrison to
the supreme bench. HarrisOn's
recognized position as a lawyer would
make the appointment fit strictly
on it's merits, while it would furnish
the president with hard work, the
best solace in his domestic grief and
make it unnecessary for him to
return to his desolate Indiana home
The suggestion was received with
favor, because it would provide a
becoming position without the

for an ex-president, and at the same
time give to the country superbly
equipped supreme court judge.

WHERE CROWS ABOUND.
A Good Place for Some People to Go After
Election.

u oOou ldCe loF some 1eOpIe 10 10 After
Election.
"A mile and half Of crows are a
good many" says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat: but there is a crow
roost down in southwest Missouri
which covers that area of ground.
Out of curiosity I recently made a
visit to the roOst after nightfall, and
| never heard such tempest of caws
before in my life. There were
millions of the thieves, and they kept
up an inccssant roar that was really
deafening, and it seemed to me that
all the crows in the United States
had gathered there and were hold
ing a Democratic caucus. There
were millions of them, and every one
seemed to be trying to make more
noise than the other. There were
several of US, and we seemed to be
very unwelcome visitors, for when
ever we approached the rookery the
birds would take flight, and their
wings made the night several degrees
darker. Where they came from no
one can say, but persons living near
by state that every evening from
four o'clock until dark the heavens are
black with vast flOcks coming from
every direction, but that they are
early risers, and at daybreak but
few are left. These crows have been
making this spot headquarters for a
number of years, and have become a
source of no little annoyance to the
farmers of the surrounding country
by committing depredations upon
their wheat fields, and very often
raids are made on the roOsts after
dark, when the shotgun does
deadly execution and thousands are
killed. But this seems to have no
effect on them other than to make
the Others more wary. The roost is
in a swamp, land it said that in the
summer the stencil is insufferab]e
for miles around. The people Of
that section are seriously consider
ing the advisability of asking the
state legislature to offer bounty for
crow heads, which they believe
would ether result in their eXter-
mination .or cause them to move
their headquarters"

1t seems certain that before
another decade it will not be very
uncommon for railway trains to
travel 100 miles an hour. On several
occasions trains have already gone
at the rate of ninety miles an hour

on a road between New York and
Philadelphia recently made seventy
