seven years, as an incorrigible. The
boy is bright and intelligent looking.
His mother died when he was born,
and his father is jsnitor in church at
Pasadena. His father married again. A
short time ago Allen stole saddle and
sold it. He then went to Terminal
island and stole watch; afterwards he
stole the ccnstable's watch, and went to
Long Beach. Here he broke into a
house, took some furniture out and sold
it. He was finally detected and brought
before Judge York. 1t developed in the
testimony that several of the boys rels-

The mystery that has been surround
ing the identity of David Draughn has
been solved and in a way that is likely to
give David much trouble. Draughn was
several weeks ago dragged from the rail-
road tracks in the south end of the city
Just in time to save him from being
mangled. 1t was then discovered that
he had been beaten almost to death. He
was carried to the Grady hospital, and
when he recovered physically it was
found that his mind was a perfect blank
as to past events-so much SO that he
even did not know his own name.
Finally under the care of the surgeons
there came back inklings of the past, and
one day last week he electrified every
body about the hospital by rushing about
and declaring he ''had it." He had caught
what he said was his last name. He was
taken by detectives up into North Caro-.
lima, and at Culberson, near Murphy, he
found friends, but he was not Draughn,
at least not there. He had been known
there as DR.. F. D. Heath and had lived
there for several months last summer,
but Heath and Draughn are one and the
same man. and it developed that under
the former name he has three living
wives. One lives in Salem, No. 2 in

The Actual Cost of a Crop.

National Stockman and Farmer.
If a storekeeper did not know the ex-
act cost of his wares it would be hard
for him to mark his selling prices so
that he would have a fair profit for his
time and investment. Manufacturers
watch the cost of production as closely
as they do the prices which they receive
for their goods. The speculator often
makes his money in buying rather than
in selling. In every business transaction
the difference between the cost and the
amount received is where the profits lie,
and. the one needs to be watched as
closely as the other.
Producers of farm products are gov
erned by the same rules as the merchant,
the manufacturer or the speculator. If
selling prices are low the cost price must
be correspondingly low if there is any
profit for the producer. The trouble
with so many farmers is they do not
know what their crops or live stock cost
them. 1t is not so easy to ascertain the
value of the work put upon field of
wheat or any other grain and keep track
of the expenses connected with it as it is
to look over an invoice of goods, but in
order to know the cost of any-farm pro-
duct it is necessary to keep account of
these things very accurately. 1t is not
such hard matter after all to place a
value on the days work of each team.
When this is done the number of days
required to prepare the ground, seed,
cultivate and harvest the crop is not
hard to keep track of.
Careful records of this kind can be
kept without taking much time. Cost
of seed, interest on invetments, etc., are
not hard to get at. The man who keeps
account of all these things and can show
the figures for his statements is the only
one who can talk intelligently and trnth-
fully about losing or making money on
certain crops or live stock.

They Whistled, Too.

New York Advertiser
The Hoosier poet. Whitcomb Riley
who is now stopping in this city at the
Westminster Hotel, has brought new
story from Indiana with him regarding
the influence of music. He said yester-
day to reporter in his genial manner:
"Strange what an influence music has
upon a man. Especially the kind that
steals upon his ear in accents sweet and
low. Now, there's Bill Peasley, for in
stance He wasn't much of singer, yet
he caused quite disturbance by singing
an old gospel hymn. Right across from
my house is grocery store. One day
last July man placed ladder against
the grocery store and tried to put up a
sign nearly twenty feet long over the
window. There was and element of in
tense interest in this proceeding to thirty
men who gathered around the ladder and
watched the man as he stood on his pre-
carious perch. Pretty soon Bill Peasley
came along. He joined the group. put
ting his hands behind his back in lazy
manner, and began softly whistling the
"Sweet By and By" The air was Sc
soft and persuasive that the man next to
Bill took it up and began whistling ten
or Then another joined in and still an
other until the whole group were whist
ling. By this time the man on the lad
der had become interested. He began
to pucker, but not sound came from
his lips. His attention was so taken uI
by the sign that be couldn't form his
lips right. 1t is difficult job to whis-
tie and put up sign at the same time
He had been struggling with the sign
and tune for several minutes. and was
standing on one foot on the ladder try
ing to hang one end of the sign on a
nail. The situation was further sompli-
Gated by his effort to come in with his
bass whistle at the proper time, when his
foot slipped and down he came, with the
ladder and sign over him. That was
the effect of one of the sweetest hymns
in modern music"

THE AMERICANS AT RIO.

Pittsburg Times
The war is over, and Secretary Her.
bert, has ordered all the American war
ships out of Brazilian waters. Wha
purpose did they serve there? Two i'm :
portant ones in particular. When Ad-
miral Stanton made the blunder of rec
ognizing the rebels by saluting Admiral
Mello, he was promptly recalled. thus
showing our neighbors, and with them
the people of Europe, that we do not
presume to interfere with the affairs of
the sister Republics. They may feel
safe so far as we are concerned. The
United States wishes them happiness
and success in elf-government. When
Admiral Benham gave protection not
only to our own but the merchant ships
of England, the London press flew into
a rage and said that this was an intima-
ton that none but Americans should ex-
ercise any authority in Rio harbor.
That was not true as stated, but it was
a clear approach to the truth. If inter-
ference was necessary it would be by
the Americans. We think that was
what Admiral Benham and the Seore-
tary of the Navy, who approved his con-
duct, meant to have the world under
stand. The Monroe doctrine has lost |
much of its vitality, but it is not yet
ready for burial. 1t was well to make
that known in respectful sort of way.

can warships served at Rio, ahd the i'm

OUR sToGIE AssAlLED.

Wheeling Intelligencer.
If the internal revenue tax on Wheel
ing stogies is raised from So to So it will
be necessary to make them an inch or
two shorter, But they will be long
enough even then.-Chicago Tribune.
This irreverent comment on a thing
almost sacred to every Wheeling man
deserving of the name shows either
gross ignorance or rank envy. Fortu-
nately the tax is to remain at three dol
lars on the thousand; but this is not the
point.
If the Wheeling stogies were made an
inch or two shorter it would not be ''long
enough ever then" We would have
this Chicago critic to understand that
the connoisseurs who appreciate the
Wheeling stogie and find delight in its
comforting companionship will never
consent that even part of cubit shall
be taken from its stature.
Nor do they ask that anything shall
be added, for they do not wish to gild
refined gold or paint the lily. To them
the Wheeling stogie is just right, neither
too long nor too short. To them "four-
for-fve" represents the exact measure of
a just value. To them there is no in
ducement to abondOn the old love for
''two for a quarter" no, not with whole
gallery of pictures of Henry Clay and
the prineely Wales to boot.
1t is possible that some dishonest per-
son has been palming off on the Chicago
Tribune at Pittsburgh toby for Wheel
ing stogie. The difference is that our
stogie is cream, the Smoky City product
not even good skim milk.

A Loaded Farm,

For many years sandy mound on the
Fl. A. Maize farm, just south of this
city, has been known as the hiding place
Of the fox. This winter the animals have
been unusually numerous and created
havoc in the henneries. The losses be-
came so great that the farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves of the pests.
A large quantity of dynamite was pur-
chased, and four large charges were put
into the ground. For some reason the
fuses failed to discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried in the mound.
The mound is one of the most productive
spots on the farm, and as the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he is in pickle to know what to do,
as he is afraid to dig into the mound for
fear he may strike the stuff and send
himself to kingdom come. The owner
of the farm insists that the dynamite
must be found, as be realizes that the
fact of it being buried ON the farm is go
ing to hurt the sale of the farm or for
ever render several acres of his best land
valueless. (O.) Dispatch.

Fiddling For Life.

Paul kieSter, musician of Everton,
California, reports an exciting and novel
experience with a pair of rattlesnakes
in the Sonoma Mountains, Kiester's
services are in demand as violinist in
the country, where old-fashioned par
ties are given. One evening he played
at farmhouse at the back of Yulupa
Mountains. He slept at the farm house.
The trail to his home leads through a
deep canyon. At one point the path
winds around sharp and narrow spur
of the mountain. kiester had reached
this point when his attention was at
tracted by the warning clatter of a rat
tlesnake. Seeing a formidable rattler
in his path, he took to his heels. A
few feet farther along still another rat
tlesnake rose up before him. There
eess not sufficient room to pass the
snakes without running the risk of be
ing bitten, and the frightened musician
backed up against the ledge and eyed
the advancing reptiles.
1t suddenly occurred to him that in
India magicians charm such things
with music; and, pulling out his violin,
he began to play. The music had the
desired effect. The snakes gradually
uncoiled aud gliGed slowly towards the
player. This movement of the reptiles
was anything but pleasant to Keister,
who kept saving away at his fiddle, try
ing to devise meanwhile scheme for
escaping. Closer and closer drew the
snakes and faster and faster flew the
bow over the strings, as Keister's nerves
quivered and shook. At last the snakes
reached point within two feet of the
terrified fiddler; and, winding them
selves up, they raised their heads close
ly together and fixed their shining eyes
on the musician.
| Keister's nerves were now utterly un-
controllable. With yell, he grabbed
his fiddle by the neck and brought it
down with crushing force oD the heads
of the snakes. The blows stunned the
reptiles: and Keister kept hammering
away until they were dead. He broke
his beloved violin. but saved his life.
The snakes measured six and seven feet
respectively, one carried ten rattles and
the other seven.

Brooklyn Eagle Demoerat).
Probably there is not now a voice heard
anywhere in public, speaking for Demo-
crat or Republican or Populist, which
would not be united in expression of re-
gret at the enforced departure Of Sena
tor Sherman in quest of health, and of
hope that he may presently return to
the field of his struggles and triumphs
his service and his success.
The venerable Ohioan stands at full
height among the counselors and repre-
sentative leaders whom the country
would OF willing let slip, There is no
more amply equipped servant of the
Union of either party or whatever opin
ion in the foremost parliament of man
on the planet. This is the belief of
those who accept all his words and Of
those who reject almost every one of
them; those who think that all his state
ments and acts are the embodiment of
continuously consistent wisdom; those
who are sure that his legislative meas
ures and his administrative deeds abound
in contradictions and mistakes. For
some of these he actually stands to more
advantage with contemporaries and will
fare better with history-as when hav
ing been the author of the costly silver
purchase law and given it his own name,
he frankly declared against it when the
public interest demanded its repeal.
1t derogates nothing from the honor
of any other to say that John Shermen
is the foremost man at his hour in the
Congress of the United States. 1t is not
only for his intellectual equipment and
his aging experience, but for his temper
as an exemplar and stalwart figure in
the service that he is worth too much to
be spared.

Origin of Death Valley.


The Indian legend regarding the origin
of Death Valley, In Mayo. county, CAL,
is an interesting one
From the outer edge of this vast fur
nace-it is 300 miles square and 160 feet
below the sea level one may see far off,
tremulous through the shimmering waves
of heat, a sort of butte that has the form
of ruined castle. The story goes that
in the old days before the Amargosa
river ceased to water the valley, the place
was the site of powerful city ruled by
Princess as beautiful as Cleopatra and
as imperious as Elizabeth. An ambas-
sador to the reigning Aztec monarch
described to her on his return the glories
of the Kings palace in the city of Mex
leo.
Resolving to equal the magniicence of
her neighbor she began the erection of a
vast building. All the laborers and ar
tisans of the city were employed and the
work was pushed night and day, for
within II months the Aztec ruler was to
be her guest, and she wished to welcome
him to a palace as splendid as his own.
She exhausted the resources of her realm,
men went mad with toll and hunger, and
at last the high priest protested. He
was ordered to execution, and, dying,
cursed the city for the princess sake.
That night the earth shook and sank,
the river dried up and the morning sun
poured down flood of hta- All p r
ished, and now the ruined walls of the
palace alone remain.
The Amargosa, by the way, is most
cratic stream. 1t flows south 9 miles
from its fountain head in the western
Sierras, vanishes at Resting Spring Noun
tain, is in evidence again for so miles,
disappears for space, then bobs mp and
runs along turbulently for 100 miles.
All trace of it is lost at Death Valley.
