Ii goes without saving that the new
cabinet will h. democratic and that
the new administration will he demo
cratic. but it will lead rather than
follow in defining the landmarks of
democratic policy. In view of the
new and exceptionally responsible
duties which are imposed upon Mr.
Cleveland by existing political and
business conditions, the selection OF
a competent and harmonious cabinet
is of supreme Importance. IL Is Il
duty that Mr.. Cleveland owes to him
self and to the country, and there
need be no fear a. to his acceptance
of that great duty without Sinking
any responsibility. The country is
quite content to leave to Mr.. Cieve-
land the selection oi his cabinet: AMI
even if it were not thus content, ii
wouldn't change the result.

SaT MsM.aSiIrS,

was In great danger n night. Said
he:-
ut was a clear autumn evening,
and 1 was running a passenger train.
We were q little behind time, and !
vas going along at a very good pace.
There was an immense wood to 20
through, and the line, on clearing 1t,
took a sharp turn to the westward.
Just as we made that turn my heart
came right up between my teeth, for
there, coming straight down the line
was another engine with her head
light flaming in my eyes like a star.
81 blew down brakes and had my
engine reversed before l had drawn
half a breath, and sent the train back
as hard as l could to a siding about a
mile behind US, and waited for the
other train that / supposed TO be
close by, but she did not come. /
made the signal man wire up the
line to see II there was any special or
runaway engine in the way but the
answer vas that the line was clear.
The passengers got out and began to
talk and ask questions, and as for me,
| was dazed. l thought of runaway
and train -wreckers.
Everything, as far as l could see and
hear, was quiet around the bend. /
glanced westward across the clearing;
there was the headlight shining
through the trees as seronely as ever

In reply to an inquiry, the Home.

native of North America aud was
probably the first introduced int
Europe by the Spaniards. II is said
the trst one served up at a banquet
in France was at the wedding OF
Charles TX in 1870. William Strick-
land, the lieutenant OF Sebastian
Cabot, in a voyage he performed a.
der the patronage of Henry VII, car
ried them from this country to Eng
land. Since that period they have
spread with great rapidity, ard they
a G o found throughout the whole
CIVILIZED world. A writer some years
ago said: In its dOmcsticated state
the turkey has undoubtedly degener-
ated-the wild birds attaining to
larger size, and showing more beau
tiful plumage." 1t my he that at
the time that sentence was written
the turkey was inferior in size to the
wild bird, but the present Mammoth

the wild species.

In their wild state they congregate,
at certain seasons, in focks of many

of grains, buds, berries, nuts, grass,
insects, and V c young frogs. They
cross the largest rivers by mounting
to the tops Of the trees, and then fly

BENJAMIN Franklin thought the
wild turkey should have been the
emblem of the United States, being
a truly indigenous and national bird;
in his time the log cabin pioneer was
surrounded by these birds, saluting
each other in early morning from the
tops of adjacent forest trees, as is the

crowded steamer vas about to start,
when the assistant captain, hurrying
through a crowd of third-class pas
sengers, was suddenly stopped by a
peasant who had previously com.
planned that his money had been
stolen.
"Your honor" he said, ''the money
has been found"
''Foundl Where?"
''Sewed up in that soldiers mantle.
| went over there to search for it,
and sure enough, there were forty.
one roubles and a twenty-copeck
piece in ny channels purse"

"Handed over to- the police? Why
to the pollceP Don't touch him! let
him sleep on. Sure, the money is
found; what more do we want9"
And as the captain proved equally
indifferent, the matter was dropped.
