closes the fact that the gobbler is en-
titled to place in the front rank when
it comes to matter of endurance.
Mrs. H. R. Chiffon had a flock of tur.
keys, in which wss very large and
heavy gobbler. He was q piece of
property that his owner priced highly
and when be mysteriously disappeared
one day there was mourning. After he
had been lost for eleven days, gentle
man who happened to pass by an old
dried up well that was sixty-fye feet
deep, heard from its depths the yelp of
a turkey. Looking down, he beheld
the selfsame gobbler that had been
"glven up for gone" The big bird
was rescued. He had been feeding for
eleven days upon acorns that fell from
the trees around the well, but could
not have had drop Of water in the
whole time. There was no rain, and
the bottom Of the we'll was so dry that
you could kick up dust there. When
the victim of this glorious thirst was
given some water after he reached the
surface Of the earth, he got on the out
side of itswith eagerness born Of long
and ferYent desirs.-Lynchburg Neaos.

the cows. Lee seized the bride reins
of her horse, threw her off AID assault
ed her. Then he lifted her upon the
horse and started the horse off. She
was too weak to ride and fell off in q
swoon. Late in the afternoon she re-
covered sufficiently TO walk to where
her horse had been tied by some one,

turned the horse loose, hoping that its
arrival home would bring relief. The
horse did so, and rescuing party found

Dickson started out for Lee. Lee took

ing: There is more satisfaction to US from

States The result demonstrates that the

South is with US we northern democrats fight
for every inch of graund. We feel then that
national victory is attainablo. Any detection
in the South would discourage northern demo-
Gratis. After the ptiable showing in Virginia
the republicans will not care to Join with the
populists in the South. As for Massachusetts,

thing else Iowa We have carried by narrow
margins, but 1 fully expected defeat this
wear. OF course New York is disappoint-
ment, but it may teach our people there to
pull together.
All sorts of opinions can be heard. Msny
democrats declare that the defeat is due to the
fact that democratic postmasters have not
been appointed.

Dom pedro,a Son.in-Law.

Comte d'Eu, Dom Pedro's son-in.law
and Admiral Mello's candidate for a
new throne in Brazil, returned TO his
home in the suburb of Paris late last
week, and on Monday gave his first re-
ception. He lives in the village of b.
logne. sur-Seine, just outside Paris. His
house, in the Boulevard de Boulogne,
faces the Auteuil Park and racecourse,
and although hardly palatial, is roomy
and pleasant. After his fall Dom Pc
dro visited the house every Monday af-
ternoou to meet his friends and former
subjects, who made the Comte d'Eu's
place their weekly rendezvous when
ever they were in Paris. Since the
Emperor's death the Count and Count
ess have continued their receptions
whenever they were in town.
Last Mondays reception was better
attended, in fact, than any reception
given for many months before the pre-
sent rebellion in Brazil. The imperial
Princess was in good spirits. The
haughtiness which rendered her so I'M
popular in Rio Janeiro has been toned
down somewhat. Her husband, with
his usual urbanity, turned off every re-
terence to politics. Several attempts
were made to draw from him opinions
on current events in Brazil. but he frus-
trated them ALL Chevalier de Guimar-
aes, the family's political adviser, was
less reticent. After allowing himself
to be led into discussion of affairs in
Brazil, he spoke substantially thus ::
every since the imperial family left
Brazil they have not swerved from
their policy of holding aloof from poll
tics. Comte d'Eu has known nothing
of Admiral Mello's or any other insur-
gents plans. He desires that his name
be in nowise connected with the pres
ent course of events in the republic.
The rebels have received from him
neither money nor Encouragement.
Should the Brazilian nation, however,
at any time call upon the imperial fam
ilv to resume the reins of government,
| do not doubt that the Princess and
her husband would do their duty"
The United Press correspondent has
learned from another source, which
there is good reason to regard with con-
idence, that the Comte deus private
secretary has been in Brazil for some
time, avowedly to visit his relatives,
but really to ascertain whether the ma
iority of the people would respond to q
proclamation calling upon them to rec
ognize the Princess right to the throne.
The secretary will arrive there within
few days to report the result of his
mission. What he says will probably
determine whether the Count and his
wife will give overt support to the Mel
10 party in Brazil.
