wood that will not split when the hoop
is nailed to the tops. The tops of the
legs are beveled from the side next the
hoop in order to give spread at the bot
tom. The legs may be of any length
that will suit the fancy, but should be
little shorter than the sacks. It is
not necessary that the hoop be so small
as the diameter of the smallest sack,
because if the sack is small it need not
be hooked onto all the small nails that
are driven from the inside of the hoop.
The materials cost almost nothing and
the holder can be made in half an hour
Bag-holders can be bought on the mar
ket, but / have failed to see any that
were more convenient or that would do
any better work than this one.
When husking corn in. the field last
fall we had two or three dozen
cleansed phosphate sacks and by using
the holder threw the corn right into
the sacks so that when we wanted to
haul, our corn was all picked up, and
when we wanted to unload, the corn
was all ready to carry into the gran
ary. For this purpose one leg was left
longer than the others so as to facili.
tate throwing into the sack. In trans
ferring grain from one sack to another,
shoulder the sack to be emptied and
with the other sack on the holder the
rest is as simple as pouring water out
of a jug.-E. E. Bogue, in Ohio Farmer.

Tho Funeral Services Simple but I'm
pressive.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The remains OF
Walter @. Gresham were laid in the
vault in Oakwoods cemetery during
the afternoon, there to remain until
the members of his family have decided
upon place of final interment.
The services, conducted by the
Rev. s. J. Mcpherson of the
Second Presbyterian church, were
impressive, but simple, consist
ing merely of scriptural readings, a
hymn by the choir and prayer.
At their conclusion the remains were
temporarily deposited in the receiving
vault of the cemetery.
No salute was fired, the ceremonies
concluding with 'taps." --
The train had been held at Sixty
third street, and the presidential party
returned to it and at once started on
the return trip to Washington.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER KILLED

Decd Supposed to Have Boon Done BY a
Discharged Lunatic.
M1NNEAPo11s, June ga terrible
tragedy occurred in the room over
Hurst's drug store, 1920 Nicollet ave-
nue.. The rooms were occupied by Mrs.
Martha Elias, widow IS years old,
and her daughter Annie. Shortly after
4 O'Clock a. m. a young man in the
drug store heard a pistol shot. This
was followed by another shot five or
ten minutes later.
A policeman coming up at the time
the two went upstairs. They forced
the door open and the bodies OF the two
women were found on the bed. The
girl was under the clothes, the mother
on the outside. The girl had been shot
behind the ear. The upper part Of Mrs.
Elias head had been shot off. The
shot had entered between the eyes. 1t
was at first thought to be case Of
murder and suicide. Later develop
ments, however, indicate that t
$ It Was q Double Murder.
Loren D. Elias, son Of Mrs. Elias, is
suspected Of committing the crime. He
was discharged from the st. Peter
asylum May l. He was not known to
be dangerously insane. There is evil
denoe, however, to connect him with
the crime. His grip contained $1O9
and some clothing marked with his
name has been found in the rear Of the
Elias apartments. A curtain in the
kitchen of the suite, which is at the
extreme rear, has been found badly
torn. There is other evidence to show
that, instead of sleeping with her
daughter Mrs. Elias when she retired
went to bed in a room between that in
which the bodies were found and the
rear Of the house. The fact that the
revolver was not clutched in the hand
of the dead mother also points to the
supposition that the shooting was done
by third party. The son was ar
rested for the crime, but denied it and
accounted for his movements.

FUNERAL or GRESHAM.

Military Honors paid TO the Dead ststss-
man q Washington.
WASHINGTON, May SO.-The remains
Of Walter @. Gresham, the dead secre-
Rotary Of state, accompanied by Presi-
dent Cleveland and by members Of his
cabinet and the sorrowing family. left
Washington at 1876 o'clock on spe-
cial ira n for Chicago, where the final
tinterment will take place. The funeral
service here was devoid Of ostentation,
but this fact only served to deepen the
profound impression which it created.
In life Secretary Gresham had loved
aost the military. career of his ardent
youth, and of all his titles had been
fondest of that of general, which he
had won upon the battlefield. In death
he was wrapped in the stars and stripes
and given soldiers funeral. The
whole city
Mourned the Nations Loss.
Every department of the government
was closed; every flag in Washington
at half mast. All the regular troops in
and about Washington-cavalry, artil-
lery and infantry-escorted the re-
mains to the railroad station. Mrs.
Gresham, the stricken wife, was so
overcome by her grief that she was un-
able to attend the services at the White
House. The casket was borne to the
executive mansion through the files Of
military, and there deposited in the
East room, Mr.. Cleveland and his
cabinet, as honorary pallbearers, &C.
companying the remains thither. The
East room had been draped with pro-
fusion of American flags and decorated
with palms and potted flowers. The
black oatafalque and the black seal rug
on, which it rested were banked with.
The Rsrest and Most Beautiful Flowers.
The assemblage was Of the most dis
tinguished character, and all were pro-
foundly moved by the simplicity of the
service. It consisted merely of the
reading of the funeral service of the
Methodist Episcopal church by Bishop
Hurst. a personal friend of the secre-
tary. When the benediction was said
the strains Of Cardinal Newman's
beautiful hymn, "Lead Kindly Light, !"
trembled on the air, and it was over.
With bowed heads those present took q
long, last look at the we'll known fea-
lures and departed. AS the funeral
cortege emerged from the White House
grounds, the scarlet coated Marine
band played
"Nearer MY God to Thee"
The military then took their places I'M
der command of Major General Ruger,
and slowly led the way down the av-
enue to the station, preceded by a
band Of 40 pieces mounted on heavy
horses. There were four troops Of cav
airy from Fort Meyer, the marine corps
from the navy yard, three companies
of infantry, four gun batteries from
Washington barracks and four batter
les from Fort Meyer, in all about 1900
men. As they swung down the av-
enue to the solemn strains Of the fu-
neral dirge, the sidewalks and every
available bit of space in the windows
overlooking the avenue were lined with
people. While the casket was being
conveyed to the train, the Marine. band
played "Safe IN the Arms of Jesus.
As the funeral train left the station,
the military departed and the city be.
came quiet and its streets almost de.

Z RULES OF The ROAD.

y , N y r.y
Th~ Ensushm,n Turns to the Left, the
American to the Right.
The ''rule Of the road" is curiously
different in different parts of the
Anglo:Saxon world. When, for in
stance, an American who is. riding or
driving meets another rider or convey
nnce on the road, he turns to the right.
The Briton. OIL the contrary, turns to
the left. Tut if a walking Briton meets
another pedestrian. on the road or the
sidewalk, he turns to the right. u
- The rule. of the road has become
crystallized in England into poetic
forms, one of which is as follows:
The rule Of the read is a paradox quite:
For in driving your carriage along,
II you bear to the left you are sure to &C
you turn to the right you go wrong.
But in walking the streets It's dit1eren,
10 the right it is proper to steer;
On the LEFT there should be enough OF clear
space ,..-
For the people who wish to walk there
Another reading of the same rule is
more epigrammatic:
! The rule OF the path. ~ .
To get we'll along
Is keep to the right
And you cannot 60 wrong.
The rule OF the road
Is o paradox quite,
If you keep to the left
~ You are sure to be right
The requirement to turn to the left
is a matter Of statute. law in Great
Britain, having been made part OF
the highway act of 1885. In the
United States, the exactly opposite
rule has been enacted into law in
several states, and in the other states is
SO much matter of common usage
sponsible for the damage caused by any
collision.
On the continent of Europe it is the
general rule to turn to the right. Turn
ing to the left seems to be an insular
popularity of the United Kingdom.
Why opposite rules should prevail in
England and in part of the United
States which, like New England, de-
rived all it's ordinary customs from old
England, is not clear, but the reason
for turning to the left is perfectly
p1dAu. ~ Is VIC ,CuStOuA, uOG OAAy Al
England, but in America. for the
driver to sit on the right side OF
the vehicle; and the driver who sits
thus can keep his wheel in view, and
also that of the passing conveyance,
m UGH better if he passes to the left,
and keeps his right shoulder to the
other mans right shoulder.
The practice Of turning to the right
when on foot is assumed to have grown
out of the necessity, in rude and VIC
lent times, of keeping free the hand
which must, in case of necessity, handle
the sword or other weapon. But this
conside ration must, have applied to
horseme as we'll as to pedestrians.
It may be, therefore, that the prac'
tice of turning to the left with vehicles
has grown up since the times of peace
and security on the road have made
weapons unnecessary. In America we
may have preserved the earlier usage
of England itself, as has been the case
with other customs that have been
dropped there but carefully preserved
here.-Youth's Companion.

EMOTION OF TWO GOVERNORS.

Kansas Chautauqua.


Kansas Chautauqaa.
OTTAWA, Kan. June 2l.-There was On
interesting scene on G. A. r. Day ut tho
Kansas Chautauqua whom Governor Nc
Kinley and Governor Morrill, met ON the
speakers stand. Governor Morrill, said
he welcomed Mckinley rs governor Of
Ohio, as q distingui shed citizen of the ma
ton, last and best as a true hearted COM
rade who had marched sido by side with
the heroes who had fought to preserve the
Union. As he said this Governor Nc
Kinley arose, and the two men grasped
hands while the multitude applaudei and
waved handkerchief.
Governor Mckinley said that no greet
ing was SO sacred as the welcome which
came from his old comrades Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He'thanked Gov
ernor Morrill, from the bottom of his
heart for q welcome SO sincere and earn
est. He remembered his service with
Governor Morrill, in the national house
of representatives. He remembered him
most because he 60 faithfully stood by
the flag and his comrades in lthe Grand
Army.
Here Governor Morrill, was visibly at.
fected and his eyes filled. Governor Nc.
Kinley, too, was overcome and he tried
to rally by saying in an attempted jocular
manner that he was glad to como to
Kansas, because much Of Ohio was here,
but he could not recover, and the scene
ended with prolonged cheering and some
tears by the spectators.
Governor Mckinley then held q reoep-
ton and thousands pressed forward to
shake his hand. at the close of his 70.
ception tho governor delivered q patriotic
address, and later left for Cleveland, O.,

he left the grounds.
