Watermelon raisers of the coun-

boys of a very low principle visit.
ing their melon patches, cutting
open the melons, pulling up the
vines, etc. Charlie Hill has had
his melon patch raided in such a
manner several times. y youngstel
entered his patch one night last
week and began his work of gen.
eral destruction, when, to his sur
prise, he received a load of shot in
the legs from Il shotgun in the
hands of Mr.. Hill that will no
doubt give him n distaste for water
melons for some time, at least. II

Pullman's Prince.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Miss Pullman's engagement to
Prince Somebody of Austria must
have cost the Duke a couple of mil.
lions. If her children are to be re.
ceived as legitimate by the Austrian
court, the Duke will put up another
gold reserve to assist Austrian cir.
culation.
At Pullman there is distress
! which next winter will turn to
starvation unless the charity of Chi.
cago goes to the rescue.
Pullman deserves expulsion from
America. He does not appreciate
his privileges here. He is a con-
temptible Turnkey in Europe and an
oppressor here-vulgar in both. A
man who pays for the Legitimacy OF
his grandchildren is the sort of a
man who would be insensibIe to
the cries of more honorably born
children nearer by. Debs almost
produced a revulsion of opinion in
the Dukes favor, but the investiga1
tons at Pullman, while they did
not whitewash Debs, make the mag.
nate out wors than we ever thought
he was.
Pullman has assumed a paternal
function toward his employees. He
might give to relieve their distress
a small percentage OF what he paid
for his daughters Prince.
