- In my estimation, the pursuit of the
mountain sheep is the highest type of
hunting our continent affords. To "col-
lect" an old ram requires good lungs,
good legs, good judgment, and good
shooting. In the doing Of it you are
bound to rise in the world, to expand
mentally, morally, and physically, and
to come under the spell that nature al
ways lays upon the hunter who once
sets foot upon her crags and peaks.
regret the disappearance of the noun
tain sheep even more than the passing
of the buffalo and elk, for it is an AMI
NAL of finer mold and stronger and
more interesting character every way
It Is much more alert than the noun
tain goat, and therefore more difficult
to shoot-so say the men who have
hunted both.-St. Nicholas.

General Custer's Last F4ght.I

June p, Custer struck Sitting Bulls
main trail and eagerly pursued it across
the divide into the Little Big Horn Val
ley. Expecting battle, he detached
Major Reno with seven of his twelve
companies to cross the Little Big Horn,
descend it, and strike the foe from the
west; but Reno was soon attacked and
held at bay, being besieged in all more
than twenty-four hours. Meantime,
suddenly coming upon the lower end of
The Indians immense camp, the gallant
Custer and his braves, without an in
stants hesitation, advanced into the
jaws Of death. Balallava was pastime
10 this, for here not one rode back"
All that was left OF them," after a
few minutes, was some 200 mostly I'M
recognizable corpses. Finding himself
outnumbered twelve to one-the In.
dams mustered att least $500 warriors,
besides n caravan of boys and squaws
Custer had dismounted his heroes,
who, planting themselves mainly on
two hills someway apart, the advance
one held by Custer, the others by Cap.
tains Keogh and Calhoun, prepared to
sell their lives dearly. By waving
blankets and uttering their hellsh yells
they stampeded many of the cavalry
horses, which carried off precious am.
munition in their saddle bags. Lining
up just behind ridge, they would rise
quickly, fire at the soldiers, and drop,
exposing themselves little, but draw
ing Clusters fire, so causing additional
loss of sorely needed bullets. The
whites ammunition spent, the dis.
mounted savages rose, fired, and
whooped like the demons they We're;
while the mounted ones, lashing their
ponies, charged with infinite venom,
overwhelming Calhoun and Keogl,
and lastly Custer himself. Indian boys
then pranced over the field on ponies,
scalping and reshooting the dead and
dying. At the burial many stark Wis.
age wore look of horror. r.-Scribner's.

Under the pretext of q conscientious

practice Of latter-day writers to devote

with supreme efrrontery, to claim cred
1t for the brave, beautiful and eman-
cipating character of their labors.
Their accuracy Of detail may be photo

to a photograph in which one feature

THE SMOKE.

Dove-winged against tlnder, turquoise sky
The white smoke fits; or through the lam
bent air
Quivers to fading violet sprals fair;
Or shifts to gray, eurled upward heavily.
1t rises in strong, twisted columns high
From grimy tunnels, flecked with ftful
flare;
Or through the planks of creaking bridges
bare
1t sits sinuous way to trail and die.
The still, vast sllios are background for its
strife;
'Tis like mans yearning, mounting fro M
mans pain,
Seeking the tranquil Heavens, waveringly;
Earth's ceaseless clash and clanSor give it
life;
TITS like mans prayers, that rise from toll
and strain,
Trail, and are lost, in Gods immensity.

Is Got the Jury.

Justice Vaughan Williams tells
many good story, but the following
is one of his best from the bench. A
counsel for the defense only put one
question to all the witnesses called for
the other side, and it was: "Have yod
an umbrella?" Invariably the answer
was eyes" Even the policeman had
an umbrella. The counsel then said !:
"This is very suspicious; every wiz
ness has an umbrella" and the jury
acquitted the prisoner without look
ing round. Household Words.

Waterloo, lives at Carisey, in the De-
partment of the Yonne, where he was
born in 1913. Excepting his deaf

ever, and is full of anecdotes of the

Bursting Of Cabbage.

The bursting of growing cabbage,
which often occurs under our
methods of irrigation, may very
easily be prevented by selecting the
heads which show signs of bursting
and starting the roots by pulling or cut
ting off some of the roots with hoe.
The pulling process is preferable. Put
ting both the hands under the head pull
until many of the roots are loosened ana
then the plant may be pushed over to
one side. This treatment effectually
stops the bursting, but the cabbage con-
tinues to grow Justify and heads thus
treated often grow to double the former
size and weight and all due to this START
ing the roots, which checks the growth
enough to hinder further development.
There is no excuse for allowing cabbage
to burst when So effectual means are at
hand to prevent it. Another method is
split down the side of the stalk two or
three inches when the growth is half
made, but this plan may require more
time and care than the root. pulling

should contain full description Of the
fruit, and instruction as to how to make
the best use of 1t. A label might be
pasted on the outside of the box also.
In addition to his, the commission men
and dealers should be supplied with
some form of advertising matter two or
three weeks ahead of shipments. News
paper advertising should also be
brought to bear on the question. Let
someone like Colonel Harvest of Quin-
tette, who is not only thoroughly posted
on the virtues and possibilities of the
LeConue, but is also graceful writer,
furnish the subject matter for your
advertisements; then, if the printer
does his part well, and the advertising
is properly placed, it would seem that
excellent results must follow.
1.-The other remedy, which everybody
begins to realize, is the canning factory.
1t is bound to come soon and every reas-
enable means should be employed to get
it as soon as possible. There Is money
in it for producer, manufacturer, and
the railroads. But would say one word
about freight rates-namely, that the
lowering of the rates, or even the free
delivery of fruit in Chicago would not
make very appreciate difference in
the net returns to the producer. The
market must be improved by liberal
advertising and by careful shipments"

Advice to Pear Growers.


rne pear growers of this section are
somewhat discouraged by the unex-
pected meager returns from their inn
mense crop Of uit that was shipped to
Northern markets. The experience of
the present season will help them to see
more clearly the necessity of adopting
better methods for the handling of their
fruit. Mr.. S. G. Higbee, formerly
editor of paper in Iowa, but for the
past year a resident of this county,
furnishes the following suggestions
upon this subject, which should COM
mand the consideration of every grower
of LeConte pears in Florida. He says:
cit is matter of surprise as we'll as
regret that pears have not met with a
reader and better sale IN the Northern
markets, but in the writer's opinion
there is some reason for this other than
a glutted market 1t is true that our
pears, being nearly month later than
usual in maturing sufficiently for
shipment, gave the Mich. gan apples
and peaches chance they do not usually
get to compete with US; and, from the
admissions of slippers themselves, the
first pears sent in were too green. But
ALTER all these allowances have been
made, there seems to be another reason,
and the strongest of all reasons. 1t is
this: The LeConte pear is too little
known or, at least, not known for all
it's true merits. Comparatively few
people in the North who are able to buy
such fruit have ever learned what
grand fruit the LeConte is for all kinds
of canning, picking, and preserving
purposes, or how we'll it takes the place
of apples in pies and sauce; in short,
thot the economical housewife can
make more quarts of fine sauce from a
bushel of pears than almost any other
fruit and then turn the Feelings into
vinegar. The fact is not generally
known that LeConte pears are delicious
stewed, fried, or baked, and that if they
can get them Of their grocer for from
81. rs to $3.50 bushel, that there are
few fruits, If any, cheaper or more to
be desired.
"The masses Of the Northern people
buy pears as they do orauges-mainly,
indeed almost solely, for refreshments
to eat out of the hand. Peaches, ber-
ries, and apples are bought to put up
as we'll as for fresh fruit. Now, again,
as to the peculiar qualities of the Le-
Conte. Unlike some other pears, it
must not be allowed to get soft upon
the tree, but must be picked when per-
fectly hard and little green, and put
away to ripen. In time it becomes
sweet and juicy and fit for a king
But suppose you do not know all this,
and, buying few to eat (the common
price in the Northern fruit stand is three
or four for dime,) get one that is yet
too green. The first bite disgusts you,
for green pear is but little better than
a green squash. You are mad at the
vender, too. and will keep shy of bis stand
and the LeConte pears therfeter. Of
course we do not mean to say that COM
mission men are not informed on these
points, or that the retail dealer has not
been instructed as to this pear s'peculiar-
