When Milking Time Comes.

The Atlanta Journal tells the follow
ing of Col Hams anecdotes
"These Populists make me tired" "
continued the Snollygoster, shifting
himself in his chair, "They remind me
OF story heard. A little, one gallus
fellow way out in the country was
driving COW and and calf down the
road. 1t was one of these here little
hard, nubbin-looking calves. The lit
tie fellow drove the COW and calf with
out anv trouble until he met big old
steer in the road. The three passed
the time OF the day and then when the
bow tried to drive the COW on the steer
drove too. He tried to run the steer
back and finally cot him away from
the COW, but the calf followed him
Then he tried to head the calf off, but
the old steer struck into trot and the
calf, with tail in the air, lit out after
him in dead lope. The boy was un-
able to catch him, and as he fired a
parting rock at him, he yelled out, go
it, you durn little fool. l guess you'll
learn some sense when milkin' time
comes'"
"When see some of these fellows
running around the state, after the
Populist steer, leaving the Democratic

/: is not altogether unreasonable or
unnatural that ne should sometimes lie
seriously affected by thunder-s,orms.
A severe storm brings Us near the pos
sibilites OF disaster. and that thought
is sufficient TO intlmidate a nervous or
delicate woman.
Some women-who under far more
trying circumstance show great nerve
and self-control--are almost prostrat-
ed from nervousness and excitement
during storm, and can find no close;
dark or safe enough in which to CON
ceal themselves and alleviate their fears
Very often the electricity IN the at
mosphere has an uncomfortable in
fuence upon the nerves. and women
are hardly responsible for what they
do.
1t certainly makes it easier for them
and for those around them If they act
as they feel At the same time they
should remember the example they
show to others. and how easily those
who are ignorant, and especially the
little children who are around them,
will partake of their fears.
Every day we are exposed to dangers
thunder-storms. The accidents from
tightening are very few. The fact that
the storm is beyond all human control,
and SO awe-inspirng to see and to hear,
is the foundation of our fears
The accidents that may occur on
the railroad trains, the street cars, and
in riding and driving we rarely stop to
consider, and yet we are exposed to
them far more often, and under many
more chances of danger, than we are in
the rare occurrence of severe thunder
storms
In an ordinary house one place is as
safe as another during storm. To
sit on feather bed in the middle Of
the room is an old-fashioned idea, for
if the lightning strikes the top of the
house, it is apt to take a direct line
down the side until it reaches the
ground. So to be away from the wall is
considered safeguard 1t is useless
to sit and watch for the flash of light
ming that you think is going to strike
you-as many do--for that is the flash
YOU will never see. The real danger
lies where you never car see or know
of it until it Is over ana gone.
So 1t Is best tor the women who sui
fer from such nervousness to show as
much courage as they do in the other
circumstances of life-which generally
is great deal--and to remember that
every cloud has silver lining, even
the clouds that gather in thunder
storm.

"According to the Galveston TEX

in sweetened whiskey, and strewed it
along the rows. The sparrows found
and ate it greedily. The News says In
fifteen or twenty minutes there was

ever seen on the face Of the earth
They rolled about the ground, falling
On their sides and backs AM kicking
their heels into the air like Il parcel

FAVORING ANNEXATION.

The Richmond Despatch, of Vir-
ginia, u. s., one of the leading
papers in the South, is disposed to
favor the annexation of the islands
to the United States. 1t is one OF
the few papers, in the States, that
does. Its attitude ia due, not only
to the intelligence and ability of its
editorial staff, but, mainly to the
advice and counsel of one, who al
though at no time, a resident OF
these islands, has taken the trouble,
for certain reasons, to investigate
our political situation, and remove
the "dense ignorance about Ha-
waiian affairs" of which DR..
Twombly has written.
The supporters of the Republic,
neither through the Government,
or through their political parties,
have made any serious attempts to
reach scores of influential papers,
in the States. The days of special
correspondence, and of long, sensa-
tional kilograms are over. Of the
6OO0 papers published in the States,
not fifty, probably, have any Eek
changes" with our papers, and of
the fifty, half are merely CONNER
cial papers. Of the scores of able
"dailies," published in the various
cities, with millions of readers,
hardly ten of them are in commun-
ication with these islande. Our
patriotic citizens spend many hours
in firing up their own souls, by
speeches at the rooms of the Amer
lean League, and elsewhere, but it
has never occurred to them that
there was need of perfecting some
sound and far-reaching plan, by
which the souls of the people of
the States could be kept on fire,
after the excitement of the revolu-
ton had ended.

The entertainment

THE entertainment given, last
evening, to Mr.. Halves, the Acting
British Commissioner and Consul
General, had not, so far as he is con-
cerned, any political significance
whatever. This we may state with
authority. No doubt some of those
who were present, would have been
glad to have given it a political cast,
but thai which was rendered and re-
ceived only as an expression of good
feeling, should not be construed to be
that which it was not.

ture to it:
GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND:
L have the honor of expressing to
you my official gratitude, for the
promptness and strategy with which
you have secured and annexed Neck
er Island to the Hawaiian Republic.
Although my official hatred of Mr..
John l.. Stevens, late Minister, is I'M
cuenchable, i would, in the full dis
charge of the moral obligation of
duty, which pervades the universe;
that is to say, would give the devil
his due, by recommending that the
name of the island be changed from
''Necker" to stevens"
In promptly anticipating the Brit
ish occupation of that island, YOU
have rendered the United States a SER
vice, which, in the future, NAV be of
inestimable value.
You are undoubtedly aware of the
relations which exist between the
English and American people, the
two great branches of the Anglo
Saxon race; relations which are at
the same time loving and hostile.
While these relations arise from
the same hereditary source, aud are
consecrated by common literature.
and a common religion, there exists.
perhaps unfortunately, an instructive
and perverse desire, on the part of the
American people, TO "get a twist on
the tail Of the British lion," and, on
the other hand, the same disposition,
exists on the part of the Brit
feathers out of the American
eagle" This tendency affords
healthy mental recreation to happy
millions, on both sides of the Allan
tic, and keeps forever alive the en-
bers of patriotism.
AS you are aware, Great and Good
Friend, in the matter of the Alabama
Claims" the American people twisted
the tail of the lion, / have mentioned,
to the extent of Sl5,OOO,OOO. In the
matter of the Newfoundland fisher
ies," the British, on the other hand,
pulled out tail feathers of the eagle
/ have referred to, to the extent of
81 ZOO, 900. In the matter of the Behr-
ing sea dispute, the British, again,
have pulled out another handful of
the tail feathers of the eagle, and,
that great Empire il one
ahead of the Americans in the game.
Considering, however, that Hawaii
gravitates towards politi-
al union with the United States, that
Ter citizens dominate there, and that
her acquisition of that island, is sub
its acquisition by the United
states, / have the honor to sincerely
the little Republic, in its

on the tail have referred to, and on
its having given it an infantiie squeeze.
This "twist," if L may be allowed 10
use such a diplomatic expression,
should be credited, on all interna,
tional books of account, to the United
States, and it, therefore, makes honors
easy, or 1.-TWO and in the series OF

guished consideration, etc.

the rose bugs. 1t seems to the
casual observer that some
thing else might be tried
while the public is waiting for
the frogs to multiply and
watching the foliage disap-
pear from view. So far the
frogs are not in it with the
bugs or even adjacent there
unto. A gentleman from the
Coast suggests that the King
Bat be imported as an expert
ment and we do not see why
it would not be successful
one. The cunning rose bug
does it work at night when
birds and chickens are at rest;
the bat spends it's days in
sweet repose and gets its liv-
ing after dark. Just how
prolific the bat is we do not
know but it is a hungry
thing that might make its in
f1uence felt on the bugs. Give
it a trial Mr.. Commissioner of
Agriculture and if it is a sue
cess a laurel wreath will be
yours.
The introduction of wind
mills other than the Aermotor
seems to have given an inn
petus to the windmill bust
ness that was rather unexpect-
ed. 1t is probably because
the people here known what
the Aermotor is and they are
unacquainted with other MAX
es. When the Aermotor was
introduced people were a lit
tie backward about trying it
because it was an experiment;
now that we have d hundred
or more in use the public looks
upon it as a staple just the
same as sugar or salt. They
know what it is before buying
it and they know what work
the mill will do before it is
placed in position. An ad-
the Aermotor has
over other mills is the fact |
that the larger ones are gear
ed and will operate pumps |
that an ordinary mill will not.
The geared mill will also work

cutter and dear knows what
not. No other mill will do
his and for that reason the
Aermotor is a better buy than
any other mill. Compared
With a steam engine it Will

expense OF fuel or a man to

here is not wind enough to
