broke more each succeeding year and

1892 raised 800 bushels of wheat and

In 1893 and 1894 I sold $1,000 worth of

A Chance for 4 POnltarar.

Fireman w. T, Hackett hit the nail
on the head when he said: at is
strange why some one doesn't go into
the poultry business. A small tract of
land can be bought close to town for a
mere song. An irrigation plant could
be put down that would assure the
raising Of enough to keep the fowls the
year around, and also to irrigate a
garden that would supply the family
with vegetables and leave some to sell.
The chicks could be caponized which
would add 100 per cent to their value
in city markets. They could be shipped
out on the night passenger trains and
reach Denver in time for the early
market. Chickens, capons, ducks, tur-
keys, eggs, ETC., always bring good
prices in Denver, and the person who
embarks in this business is sure to
make a good thing out of it,"

Emperor William is trying to obtain

mines of South Africa and is said to
be worth $5,000,000. 1t is three inches
high, nearly three inches broad, weighs
971 karats and is of matehless 1uster.

Toy had come from Denver by train.

Stealthily approaching the prison, the

A BIT of Border history of the Time of
James v.

James ".
OF all the minor border castles few
are more renowned in song and story
than the Tower of Johnnie Armstrong,
the laird of Gilnockie, who, Piscottie
tells us, "was the most redoubted
chieftain that has been for long time
on the borders, either of Scotland or
England" says Cassells Picturesque
Europe. "ae ever rode with four-and-
twenty able gentlemen, well horsed,
yet he never molested any Scottish
man." and it is said that from the bor-
ders of Newcastle ''every Engiishman,
of whatever state, paid him tribute"
(blackmail), which seems barely pos
sible.
His tower, called the Hole house, is
oblong, sixty feet in length, forty-six
wide and seventy high, furnished with
a capehouse and turrets. 1t occupies
q steep rock, on the small promontory
of Gilnoclxie, washed on three sides by
the Esk in Dumfrieshire and protected
on the fourth by deep ditch. During
the reign of James v. he committed
such ravages and excited such terror
by his forays into Westmoreland that
his band of mosstroopers became so
great as to hazard defiance of the
crown. Hence the king marched
against him, with numerous forces, in
person, and halted at Euesdale, pas
toral district of Dumfrieshire, whence
he sent herald to summon the at
tendance of the laird of Gilnoclxie and
his chief followers under promise, it
is said, of security.
The laird is known to have yielded
ready attendance, and in token of
his peaceful intentions toward his SOW
ereign he and thirty-six gentlemen,
his adherents, ran their horses at a
gallop and broke all their lances on
Langholm Holm, while, as the ballad
has it, their ladies looked from the
lofty windows, saying: "God send our
men well back again" But they were
all hanged by order Of the king, to
whom, on finding his loyal promises
derided, Armstrong said proudly:
SIT is folly to seek grace at grace
less face; had known this should
have lived on the borders, despite you
and King Harry, too, though | know
that he would weigh down my best
horse with gold to learn that am to
die this day"
