SHE BEAT THE BRUTES.
A Plucl1y Woman Gets the Best

BRENNAN, Texas, Feb. 26.-Mes-
DANES Lehpa Behrens and Artelia
Mohril were returning from Berlin
this afternoon, they having gone
there to clean up the family bury
ing ground. About two miles from
town two negroes sprang out of the
woods. One seized and held their
horses while the other attempted
to get into the buggy. Selling a
shovel Mrs. Behrens felled the
brute to the ground. Getting out
of the buggy the plucky woman
continued to beat him with the
shovel until he was unconscious.
Meantime a dog they bad with
them engaged in mortal combat
with the other. The faithful beast
was getting the worst of the battle
when Mrs. Behrcns went to the
rescue and with her trusty spade
felled the negro to the earth. She
administered to bim also fearful
beating, but not wishing to kill
them drove to town. She says the
first negro cannot possibly live.
Officers have gone to bring the
bruteS in.

Consistency is a Jewel.
Yorkville Enquirer.

orEvllle Inquirer
Consistency though a priceless
jewel, ought to be in reach of
everybody, bu, more particularly
those who essay to teach others.
We are reminded of this by SEN
sible editorial in the Abbeville
Press and Banner of last week.
Revolt against law is indeed an
archy; anarchy pure and simple.
And it is foolish and suicidal as
we'll. Yes, we have men in this
State who have told us time and
again of the dangers of Ocalalsm,
of Populism, but they tell us not
of the dangers of revolt against
law; they tell us not Of the shame
and barbarity of force and physi-
cal resistance to government and
laws made by peers. 1t matters
little that the law is odious to
many of us, it is still a law and as
such should receive the support Of
all who make any pretension to
morality and dccency. Otherwise
they are in the same boat with the
Haymarket rioters; their princi-
pies are the same, and principe is
the essential thing. The opponents
to the dispensary law in this State
are in the minority, and our forms
of government demands that the
minority shall be ruled; that they
shall abide the findings of their
more numerous opponents. That
is a fact that cannot be overrun or
downed. 1t is a condition; a nec-
essary condition and one upon
which our government depends for
existence. Our laws, as laws, must
be respected and must be enforced,
or we become lawless companions
in crime with those who inhabit
our prisons and penitentiaries.
The person who encourages the
infraction of any law invites an
archy, is an alder of anarchy, and
is an anarchist. The sooner every
individual citizen realizes this, the
better it will be for our country.
We represent no clan; Meshad

What May Be Faith?

The Spectator.
"What do you mean by faith2"
was the question. ''Please, Sir,
when you believe anything you
are quite certain is not true," was
the prompt answer all Indian boy
gave me. But the story on this
subject l delight in most was that
of the little boy who asked his
mother what faith was, ,and received
the not very judicious reply that
faith was believing in something
you could not see, but which was
told you by a person whom you
could trust. "For instance,,' she
continued, "if I told you there was
a chair in that corner, you would
have to believe it, though you
could not see it."

bound to sit in it?" 1t would be

believing something that they
know is not true.

THE DRIVING OF LIONS,
Prof. Darling's Experience With
His Bis Pets at Hagenbeck's.

One of the most difficult things
in animal training is the teaching
them to he driven. This is espe-
cially difficult in the case nf lions.
The king of the forest, in the first
place, objects strenuously to hav-
ing anything about his neck, and,
secondly, to be made to draw a We
hicle of any kind is a thing to him
degrading. Nero is alleged to have
had wild animals which drew his
chariots through the streets of
Rome. But Prof. Peck, of Colum-
bia College upsets this good old
story by declaring that, so far as
he has been able to discover, neith-
er Nero or any other Roman EN-
peror ever drove an animal more
dangerous than camel.
1t was left to Prof. Darling, of
Hagenbeck's trained animal show
to do something often attempted,
but never until by him accom-
plished. He has tanned the mon
ster beasts until they have learned
to obey his whips and voice like
horses. Mr.. Darling has whole
some respect for his big pets. He
says that a lion believes in fair
play, and that, if he wants to fight
he will give you warning, but once
be begins he will fight as long as
he can stand.
'.In my performances at Hagen
beck's arena, I drive three lions
around ring" Says the professor.
Years ago I could drive them
around three and four times. They
would do it gracefully and well.
Of late years I have driven them
around twice, and l am free to
confess that the twice I drive them
around is more the result of their
good nature than because of any
power of mine. They are getting
old. Within a year or two l must
bid goodbye to my pets, and
either put them in q menagerie, or
send them adrift once more in the
wilds of Nubia. Man can subju-
gate brute nature to a certain ex-
tent, but when he goes beyond that
be becomes a simple doll in the
hands of these gigantic brutes."

MURDERER'S CONFESSION.
Breaks Down When the Coroner

MoRGANToN, N. c., Feb. 27.-Wil
liam Causby, young man, was
murdered last Saturday night
about two miles from Misplace.
Thare was no clue to the murder
er other than the fact that Syl-
vanus Morrow, James Whisenhunt,
and Phillip Williams had been
seen with Causby near where he
was found dead. At the inquest
these three were summoned as wit
nesses. Nothing beyond the fact
that they were with Causby was de-
developed while Morrow and Whis-
enhunt were on the stand. AS
each witness was directed to stand
aside he was requested to put his
hand on the dead body, which had
not been removed from the place
where it had been found. Morrow
and Whisenhunt did not hesitate
to comply with his request, but it
was noticed that Williams, while
being examined, was in state of
great mental excitement, and when
he was requested to put his hand
he broke down completely and
declared he could not do 80, and
in a few minutes confessed that

GAME TO THE LAST.
Heroic Conduct Of a Farmer i'm a
Set-to With Murderers.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March 1.
JOHN Baker, a well known and
wealthy farmer at Franklin Park,
heard noise last night and went
down stairs to investigate.
While Baker was down stairs,
two negroes rushed into the room
where the farmer had left his wife
and child. The latter gave the
alarm while the negroes sprang
upon them and stabbed them to
death.
Baker rushed up stairs and shot
one negro dead. The other sprang
on Baker: AMI with one blow cut
the farmers nose off. Baker drop
PED his gun, secured an axe, which
one of the negroes had, and chop
pei the negro's head open. He
will die.

A Vegetable With o Pedigree.

Chambers's Journal.
Of all the plants used fer food,
there is none which has been 80
long known, or has had, so to say,
so distinguished a lineage as
asparagus. It's record in fact, reach
es back to almost the commence
ment of authentic history, as it is
mentioned by the comic poet Cra-
tinus who died about 425 B. Co.,
and was a contemporary of,
though slightly older than Aristo-
phanes.
Among the Romans, also, the
tasty vegetable was held in high
esteem. Cato the elder-not the
gentleman who was of opinion
that Plato reasoned we'll, but his
great grandfather, who insisted
upon the destruction of Carthage,
and who was born 234 B. c.
wrote work, which. is still extant
"De Re Rustica," and in it he
treats at length of the virtues and
proper cultivation of asparagus.
Pliny, ,also, in his "Natural His
tory" (about 60 A. D., has much
to say on the subject. "Of all the
productions of your garden" he
feelingly observes, "you chief care
will be your asparagus" and b.
devotes several chapters and parts
of chapters to it's many benefcent
qualities and the best modes of
raising it.
He asserts that, even in this day,
the soil about Revenna was so ia
vorable to it's production that three
heads grown in that district was
known to weigh Roman pound.
AS, however, this pound seams to
have been equal to only about IL
of our ounces, it would apparently
have required foul of the stocks to
reach pound of our weight; but
this result, considering the state of
horticulture in those days, may be
looked upon as wonderful enough,
and has, in point of fact, only
been equalled in our own times.
