+" GANDER PlLLING."
A Strange Sport Of the Early Days Of
-.@ Missouri.

A Strange Sport Of the Early Days Of
.' Missouri.
st, Louis Republic.
Ex-Governor Fletcher, Of Missouri,
formed the center of little group of
congressman the other day who were
discussing old times.
"When ! was a boy" lie said, 81
lived among the pioneers in Missouri.
They were fine class of people; all in
all, the best people ever knew
They drove back the Indians and
made bear and dear their meat, as the
saying goes. 1t was before the days
of the scloolmaster. Occasionally we
had a. three months subscription
school, but the master was employed
more for his physical qualifications
to discipline the big boys than for his
learning. 1t was before the days of
baseball and football, and the sport
that stood at the head of the list was
a 'gander pulling The men met"
continued the governor, 'at some
suitable crossroads store, where Is
cents per gallon corn whisky was dis
pensed, and they pooled in 81 each,
say twenty or twenty-five of them.
That was big purse in those days.
Then they got the oldest and toughest
gander that roamed that circuit. The
feathers were carefully plucked from
his neck, and the neck was covered
with grease and soap. After these
preliminarieS, Mr.. Gander was Sc
curely tied to a swinging limb OF a
tree, head hanging downward. This
done, the men would mount theil
horses, circle was drawn, the master
of ceremonies took his place in the
center of the ring, whip in hand, ant
kept every horse on a lively run a.
the riders tried to catch the gander''
neck. The man who succeeded II
pulling off the gander's neck rakcd il
the pot. If he held on until he was
pulled off his horse, it counted for thu
: gander, and the rider was out. i
was little tough on the fowl, but al
a feat of strength and horsemanshil
it was worth seeing, and the knights
of old never put lance in rest or rod
. IN tournament to greater applaus
among the spectators than wa
e showcred upon them by the throng Il
t a gander pulling. l was once an ey
a witness of this strange sport. O
course, it wound up with dance, an
i the hero who pulled off the gandcr'
e head danced with the prettiest girl.
: "Pretty girls? Your young ladie
of today wouldn't have been in
o with those rosy-cheeked lassies. A
y the candidates for Office were ther,
. elcctioneering. They didn't max
any speeches in those days. They Sc
: 'em up and mixed about and talke
i. with the boys. Well, all that old Sc
is gone now. Their descendants al
!. more learned, and have modern maj
: ners, habits and amusements, br
d they are not better In any sense tina
the sturdy old pioneers, their ance

A REDUCTION OF TAXES.
New York World.

New YORK world.
The Senate tariff bill is an improve
ment in most respects upon the Nc
kinley act. 1t does not fulfill Demo-
cratic pledges, and it is tainted with
the odious sale to the sugar trust, but
it does give welcome relief to manu-
facturers and consumers.
The most important gain is free
wool. That will make clothes, car
pets, blankets and hats cheaper. 1t
will help the manufactures, and by
starting up the mills and increasing
the demand for wool benefit the wool
grower. The farmer will also profit
by free binding twine and a lower
duty on many Of the articles which
he must buy.
The reductions Of taxes on wooler
clothing are very great. Under th'
Mckinley act the cheapest grades O
shawls, blankets and hats have beer
taxed from lOl to $50 per cent. The
Senate bill fixes the rate at 30 pei
cent.
Fruits and other articles of food arr
also cheapened, and although mos
Democrats believe that iron ore ant
coal should be free, as shown by tn,
prompt passage by the house of bill
to untax them, the duty on each i
reduced about One-half.
In the following table comparison
Is made of the I'D valorum rates c
the Mckinley law on some importan
nccCssaries Of life with those of til
Senate bill on the same articles, an
; the percentage of reduction appear
in the last column.

z Richard-By the way, how do you
and Miss Smart get along?
William-Oh that affair isall over.
Richard-You don't mean 1t?
William-You see, had made up
my mind about a week ago to bring
matters to a crisis. So began by
saying that had question that
wanted to ask her.
Richard-Yes.
William-She tossed her head and
said any fool could ask questions.
Richard-And You?
William-I merely told her perhaps
1t would be just rs well, then, to lei
some fool ask my question.

Angry father-in-law - Didn't you

1t takes not less than $4,000 cedar
trees to supply wood for the pencil
manufacturers of this country. Ala
bama was once the great cedar pencil
producing State, but its cedar is ex-
hausted. Manufacturers have tested
other kinds of wood with a view to
finding substitute for cedar, but Sc
far without success.

Russia has about 600,000,000 acres
of timber. The government there is
about putting up two hundred saw
mills, many of which will be rented
to citizens. Timber is very cheap, fir
trees selling at what would be in our
money equivalent to twelve to eigh-
teen cents each.

Statisticians ef the census bureau
state that there are in the United
States over 100000 people who can
neither read nor write. Then add to
that about 100000 who cannot
write their own names in legiblf
hand, an1 you may readily see why it
is that we are so long in coming to an
understanding upon even so simple
thing as the proper tax on whiskey
and sugar and Jugs.

New York society women have a
new fad. They shave their husbands
to raise money for the heathen. After
one such scrape the husband usually
decides that he has important busi-
ness in the wild West and must start
at once.

Here is certainly considerable ad-
vance towards redemption of Demo-
cratic promises. 1t reduces the aver
age duty from so per cent to 80 per
cent. The bill is sufficiently protect
i've for the honest needs of every man
ufacturing industry, aud yet it will
sensibly cheaper the cost of wide
range Of universal necessaries.

Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's
