The Trials of a Country Editor.

The Trials of a Country Editor.
Whatever may be the truth or
the falsity of the stories that are told
of the scarcity of funds in country
editors pocket, or the scarcity OF
food in his stomach, the stories are
always told, and neither the progress
of education nor the growth and
development of the press seems to
have any effect upon the crop. One
of the latest comes from Kentucky,
where the mountain editor, at least,
rarely develops into Croesus or an
Apicius, aud this one is concerning a
mountain editor. A subscriber had
remembered him very kindly, and a
day or two later a visitor called at
his office.
"Can I see the editor?" he in

A PLANT of Poverty.

In these days when the bogy OF
aoverproduction" is being held up to
brighten the producers in their cam
paign for an honest system of money
legislation, incidents like the folio "
ing have more than ordinary point.
These two facts are from daily pa
per published in Chicago, and they
can be parslleled by experiences that
have come under our own personal
observation. The first one might be
amusing did it not tell tale of pow
erty-too sad to be passed over
lightly: GA laborer, Hugo Renner,
went home to his furnished 10 lying
the other evening, bringing with him
black poodle dog. Renner was
without work and money, aud shun-
ger had made him steal the dog. He
slaughtered it and he and his land
lady made a feast of it. The other
day Renner was sentenced to four
months in Jail for the theft Of the
dog" The second is more harrow
ing, The account says; "The other
day man was arrested for begging.
He had the corpse of a 2 year old
child in his arms and begged money
to bury the little one. The police
ascertained that this man, a laborer
named Fengler, who had been in
jured at work and was without occu
patton, had seven children at home
starving; that the little one had
actually died Of hunger, and that he
himself had touched no food for 48
hours"
Sush are the details of the extrem-
tiles to which starvation reduces the
unfortunate in this day of low prices
and "overproduction." While the
number who reach actual starvation
is not large, there are thousands
upon thousands on the verge. They
lack food, clothing and the common
est necessities of life. Our cities are
full of them. Hard grinding poverty
keeps them in poor houses, in crowd
ed quarter of tde city where bad air
and all uncleanness pollute the moral
and physical health. Thousands of
children never have a chance to grow
up good citizens. They are doomed
from birth to life of Grimm atty and
disease, owing partly to the vices Of
their parents, but more directly to
their poverty. Meanwhile the accu-
mutation of wealth in the hands of
the few is each year more apparent.
The great evil, as it seems to us, is
not over production, but under dis
tribution. -Farm, Field and Fireside.

FOLLOWING A B1GHoRN TRAIL
Twenty-Five Miles Along a Rocky
Ledge Where a Misstep Meant
Certain Destruction.

Second Lieutenant NJ. F. Smith of the
Fourth Cavalry. who accompanied First
Lieutenant c. l.. Potter of the engineers
in his late expedition down the Colorado
River, is busily engaged on his official re-
port of the undertaking. Although the
report is primarily prepared for official
eyes, it will be no ordinary compilation of
technical information and forbidding sta
tistics. On the contrary, the report will
record one of the most thrilling expert
ences which human beings ever survived.
Speaking of their adventures, Lieutenant
Davis said yesterday: "Some time near
the 1st of October Lieutenant Potter re-
ceived orders to proceed to investigate the
possibilities of the Colorado River for navi-
CATION purposes, from the mouth OF the
