The Wounded In the Next War.

The conqueror of the future, if he &C
cepts the old time conventional burden
Of his adyersary's wounded, will be-
come its victim. He will not accept the
incubus. Is it to be imagined that the
victor in such circumstances will think

No. He is III the field not to be q hospital

by hammering Oh the enemy who has
departed, leaving his own wounded be-
hind, and who may come back again to-
morrow to strike linn while clogged in
the live and dead debris of yesterdays
battle. The victor will hasten away to
overtake or hang on the skirts Of the
vanquished army, leaving the wounded
on both sides to be dealt with as may be
possible by such surgeons as he can at

trait that his friends say he can visit
the house OF any of his constituents aft

But no man is infallible, and this SEN
ator Cockrell discovered on accosting
i Of his constituents while at home
recently, whose name he tried by every
mean possible to remember, but unsuc-
cessfully. Finally he hit upon what he
considered d solution Of the difficulty,
and under the guise of taking the con-
stituent's name down for the purpose Of
sending him 0me documents he asked
him tospellit. He was almost staggered
when he received the reply, .''J-o-n-e-s."

~ Slow Task.

Lieutenant Schwatkn, in describing some
of the trees near Sowora, says that the iron.
wood looks very much like n fine variety of
the mesquite, the wood of which is Il beau
tiful. bright cherry red. Its name is deriv-
ed from its hardness and is well deserved
1t uses up an AK to fell each tree, and as the
quality of different trees is always the same
and that of different axes is not, even this
ratio of one AK to one tree has to be changed
occasionally and always in favor of the tree
1t is said that tramp who had wandered
into that part of the country, with the usual
appetite of his class, applied for something
to eat. In reply he was told that if he
would get out Il certain number of rails for
fence the proprietor would give him a
weeks board
1t was, us he thought, about n days work
that had been assigned him. and bright and
early the next morning he sailed ont with
his AK on his shoulder. Unfortunately the
most tempting tree he met was an iron
wood, and very late i'll the evening he re-
turned with the AK helvc on his arm

WIDE TIRES TESTIMONY.
Their Superiority Over the Narrow Shown.
Observations of n Farmer.

Va ~
iwish to give my observation and OK
pcricnco. have lot of teams to look
after, and We have on the farm but two
narrow tired wagons. In tho spring of
1891 when hauling manure the wagon
with inch tires and the one with
l n inch both went to The field together,
the loads being equal. When III the field,
the broad tired drove in and unloaded;
the narrow stuck Four horses were
put to it to get it to a place to unload.
Tho condition of the field was the same,
broad tires on top of the ground, narrow
tires in ground about eight inches.
In addition to the farm also own tho
largest sawmill plant in southeastern
Indiana and now uso wide tires Oh all
wagons, none being less than Az inches.
The common dirt roads CLAY have no
stone on them in this country, and roads
that are used by common farmers are
cut to picces-all rut and mud-whilc
tho roads used by tho log wagons arc
solid and fit to drive over at all times.
III tho spring Of 1899 we had IL couple
OF mule teams to help pillow wet piece
of ground l WAS i'll the field when they
struck 1t. Tho mules, which weighed
near to 800 pounds each, mircd to their
knees and wore unhitchcd to get them
out. Then l ordered one Of our heavy
draft teams to try to plow where mules
could not, and they completed the job in
agood manner. They weighed /, 100 and
1,S40 each. From my observation and
actual experience, having under my
charge moro horses and wagons than
threo or four farmers in this section Of
Indiana, 1 am lod TO believe that the
wide trio is the roadmaker and the mar
row tire the road breaker and horse
