The supreme court of the state is
supposed to be the highest tribunal to
to interpret and enforce the law.
They cannot legislate but they can
adjudicate. Their decision that they
had no power to reconvene the state
returning board is in effect to make
that board court of last resort on
election matters, and higher than all
other courts except perhaps the legis-
lature and the senate sitting as court
of Impeachment. Does anyone sup
pose for minute that the Institution of
law is to place the outgoing returning
board higher than the courts, and its
acts ineNocable., The court decision
was part of the plot to prevent justice
to the populists.

WILL MARRY HER DOCTOR.
Mario Nevins-Blnine to Become the
Wife Of DIR. Bull.


Young Mrs. Blaine is to change her
name, says the New York Herald.
She Is going to be married to DR..
William r. Bull. There have been
many rumors of an engagement, but all
these have been denied until now,
when the announcement is authorita-
lively made. Ever since DR.. Bull was
called in to attend Mrs. Blaine pro-
~fessionally when she was lying with
rheumatism at the New York Hotel,
almost at the very moment when she
had hoped to make her triumphal
debut on the professional stage, there
has been a suggestion of romance
about their association. They only
recently became engaged. The we'd
didg will not be long deferred. Ac-
fixed for early in June. 1t will be q
quiet one and may be followed by a
trip to Europe. The bestowal of her
heart and hand on DR.. Bull entails only
n sacrifice on the part of Mrs. Blaine.
In marrying him she will be obliged
to virtually her faith. She
is a Catholic, and the Catholic Church

Marie Nevins Blaine obtained a di-
vorce from young James Gillespie

her husband put in no defense.
AT the time of her illness physicians
of high rank pronounced Mrs. Blaine's
Ease practically i%ncurable. From the
moment DR.. Bull was called to her
bedside he brought words of encourage
ment and hope to the young woman.
Nor was that all. DR.. Bulls first
diagnosis of the case and his opinion
of what he could do for the sufferer
were fully warranted by what he sue
ceeded in doing.
Mrs. Blaine is not q we'll woman to-
day, but she is very far from being the
stricken, helpless cripple she was when
she first saw DR.. Bull. Since Mrs.
Blaine's convalescence what DR.. Bull
has done for her has often happened

Do HORSES REASON ?-Do hors

Do HORSES REASON ?-Do horses
reason? No. Then how do you ac-
count for this action, which was Witness
ed by the writer: A horse stood in a
stall with the partition so low that he
could put his head over the top. Near
the edge of the top board of the partI-
ton a hole had,been bored, and IL rope
with n snap hook hung from the hoe
on the side next the horse, q knot on
the end keeping it from falling through.
The horse took hold of the rope, as it
hung on the side nearest him, with his
teeth and tried to pull it through. The
knot prevented. He pulled several
times, and finding tnat the rope would
not come he eyed it for a moment as if
wrestling with the problem, and then
deliberately stuck his head over the
partition, caught the knot in his teeth
and began to pull the rope through
from the other side with quick Jerks.
When he had pulled it along until there
was enough on the inside to cause it to
fall of its own weight he did not let go,
but stuck his head out sufficiently to pull
the rope entirely through, thus pre-
venting 1t from falling out of his reach.
Having secured it he dangled it around
in play, as If wonderfully tickled with
what he had done.

I'D LIKE TO BE A Boy AGAIN.-I'd
like to be a boy again, without a woe
or care, with freckles scattered on my
face and hayseed in my hair; I'd,like
to rise at 4 o'clock and do q hundred

hogs and lock the stable doors, and
herd the hens, and watch the bees and
take the mules to drink, and teach the
turkeys how to swim so that they would
not sink and milk about q hundred
COWS and bring in wood to burn, and
stand out in the sun all day and churn,
and churn, and churn, and wear my
brothers cast off clothes and walk four
miles to school, and get a licking every
day for breaking some old rule, and
then 60 home again at night and do the
chores once more, and milk the COWS
and feed the hogs and curry mules
galore, and then crawl YEARLY up
stairs to seek my little bed, and hear
dad say: THAT worthless boy ! He
doesent a his bread !" I'd like to
be a boy again, a boy has SO much fun {:

The world has had few leaders who

Napoleons have not descended from
monarchs. The founders OF its philoso-
phtes have not been the children of

heirs OF emperors. The trainers of the
creeds, the inventors OF the faiths and
religions OF the ace have come from
IN manager, the forge and the carpen-
ter's bench, and not from the church.
The great captains have not sprung
from warriors, and those who have
composed. the dramas, written the
lyrics and pronounced the orations that
are immortal have inherited neither
their passion nor their eloquence, A
pedigree may be gratifying to pride,
but 1t is not ~consoling to ambition.
Those who greatly succeed are not
always those of whom success could be
predicted. 1t Is sometimes said in ex-
PLANTATION of the caprices of destiny
that circumstances make heroes, and
that chance favors the victor. But the
reverse is true. Men make circum-
stances. One seizes the opportunity
that is offered to all. In the domain Of

who among the illustrious sons of the re-
public have most intellectually stamped
their mark upon our institutions and
shaped the destinies of the nation, the
answer would include u few who were
favored by birth or fortune. Washing

DOMESTIC

One Of the main topics for considera-
ton by the recent conference of South
ern Governors at Richmond, Va, was
immigration. The sparsely populated
Southern States undoubtedly need
people to thoroughly develop the
rich native res urces of this section,
but it is not foreign immigrants that
are needed so much as domestic immi-
grafton from the overcrowded North to
the s~cantily populated South. The
country at large does not need immi-
grafton from other countries. What is
needed is diffusion of Jul present popu-
lation. We have plenty OF people in
Notwithstanding enough to make tue
competition for employment eager and
the struggle for existence quite active
and earnest. We are aware that &C
cepted authorities have estimated that
we can accommodate seven times
our present numbers without equalling
Europe in density of population. We
II net another foreign immigrant
should land on our shores for another
decade. What is really needed, we re-
peat, is diffusion of our present popula-
ton. In all sections of the country we
find an exodus from the country to the
cities, with the result of q sort of CON
gested urban population and q thinning
out of the country districts. This urban
congestion is more apparent in the
North than the South. The character
of immigration most desirable for the
Southern States would come from the
Northwestern States. The South
needs the help Of this class to develop
its agricultural, mineral and timber
resources, as we'll as to increase it's
representation in the halls of national
legislation. The sparseness OF tho
population of the Southern States was
wildly portrayed by the late Henry
Grady, Of Atlanta, in a memorable
speech at Boston, wherein he stated
that if all human beings in the South
ern States were scattered over the
South's vast area at equi-distant posi-
tions, they would not be withiY, naiIing
distance of each other. The single
State of Texas could have taken the
entire inflow of foreign immigration at
Castle Garden for the past ten years
and still have room to spare. But it is
not foreign immigration that Texas or
any other State should desire, but
native American immigration from the
Middle and Western sections or the
North. This would supply the South
with labor for the industrial Develop
ment of the best portion of America,
and at the same time relieve the North
of its congestion Tennessee Farmer.

WHY WE SHOULD CONTROL THE
NICARAGUA CANAL.-In wal or in
peace the exclusive control of this
canal will be to us of inestimable value,
For attacking or defending the coasts
of u hemisphere, and the islands adj
jacent thereto, it is more advantage
Ously situated than is Gibraltar for the
Mediterranean. AS q means of uniting
tho East and the West, it will be Of
more value than is the Suez Canal for
uniting England with India. The lat
ter but 5000 miles, while the
Nicaragua Canal saves $500 in the
voyage from the Gulf ports to San
Francisco.
If we are to continue our policy of
protecting the smaller states of the two
Americas against the larger ones, and
all of them against foreign encroach-
ment, We must control the canal. We
must also defend II own country. Our
Pacific coast Is nearly d%efenceless.
From New York to San Francisco it is
13, ZOO miles by WATERFALL the circum-
ference of the globe. Between the
same points by the canal it is only
5000 miles. From New Orleans to San
Francisco 1t Is l3. 900 miles. Tne canal
will cut this distance down to 1000
miles, o still greater saving. Now
England a hurl q fleet against our
western ports by way of the Suez Canal
or from Australia, while another fleet,
with Il base at home or at one of the
numerous British strongholds along
our eastern coast. is threatening the
ports on the Atlantic.
Not only in war, but also in compet-
ing for the commerce of the world, and
especially of the western hemisphere,
will the nation controlling the Nicar-
aqua Canal have an immense advant-
age. No trade win flourish unless pro-
tected by the strong arm of military
power, and no better example of Il l.
can be cited than that of Englal d.
Where all the great nations of tne
world meet in the canal, and the
nations through whose territory itruns
arg SO miserably weak, the inevitable
result will be that it will fall into the
hands Of some great power. If that
power be not ourselves, then we may
safely bid farewell to military or com
mercial supremacy in America. The
golden moment is here when pos

To INCREASE THE YIELD OF MILK.

To INCREASE THE YIELD OF MILK
A farmer writes to an exchange: II
you desire to get a large yield of rich
milk give your COW every day water
slightly warm and slightly sailed in
which bran has been stirred at the rate
of n quart to two gallons of water.
You will find, IL you have not tried this
daily practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent, more milk immc-
diately under the effect of it, and she
will become so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink almostr~any time, and ask for
more. The amount of this drink neces-
sary Is an ordinary WATERFALL at q time
morning, noon and night.
