Reid said: THE Republicans have aiysys

metals and the soundness of our currency.
At that Inc they always have stopped. and
at that line they surely Will stop now. and
the so-called silver states wou'd be among
the first to regret II IL they ijdn't." When
asked about the vice presidency Mr.. Reid
said he was not a candidate. and that there
were no indicatio ~ that the nom.ration

SALT AND ASHES FOR HOGS.

Where hogs are not allowed the range
OF the pastures. and where they are pre-
vented by the useless and cruel practice
Of ringing from roofing at their sweet
will, they are very likely TO be deficient
In both quality and strength OF bone,
and then we have the stereotyped COM
plant that the breed is too fine in bone.
How can IL be anything else, unless bone
making material is furnished: Where
the ration is OF corn, or largely OF corn,
the evil Is more pronounced, and there
fore the more important il Is TO provide
bone making material in some ready
wav.
one Of the readiest Is that OF keeping
wood ashes and salt within reach OF the
hog at all times. IL is astonishing how
much they will eat OF il, and astonishing
also how far IL will go to correct the
evils OF an unbalanced ration, for the
ration Is always unbalanced IL IL does
not provide bone-making material.
An acute observer has remarked that
hogs whose feed is deficient In bone
making material are irritable, nervous,
have disposition to nag one another,
aud act just like peevish, irritable people
whose nerves are unstrung and that have
dyspepsia, or, as we say, are hysterical.
We do not know whether there is any
thing In it or not, but we are quite sure
that balanced ration, not merely in
h,.sh formers and fat formers, but bone
making material, will tend 10 that quiet
disposition. that peace OF mind, that con-
te1tment with all things around them.
that leads 10 LAYING on of flesh, and that
happy disposition that characterizes the
good citizen. whether in the city, In the
country, or in the hog yard.
While all things go well with the hog
inside. ne il not much disposed 10 med
die with things outside, and whether
things 90 well or i'll with him depends
more on the kind Of food he receives
than on anything else. Ii is when people
are not feeling well that we have up
heayals in politics, panics in business
and general discomfort, and an Increase
OF bad citizenship. Ii is about the same
way in the hog yard. The hogs world
is not wide one, mainly connected
with eating and drinking and an occa-
sionsl roofing, and therefore il he is
given a ration we'll balanced on Its min-
eral, its flesh forming and fat forming
side, he becomes happy, prosperous
citizen OF the farm and "a money maker

THEY ALL PLAYED.

A man can always get what he goes
after In the right way. One day, on the
Union Pacific overland train, little cpl
sode occurred which proved this plainly,
A big fellow who had, as we afterward
learned, come down from the Oregon
horse country, and who WAS on his way
home, wearied, worn and almost deliri-
Gus with the tedium of the travel through
the warty, bare buttes OF Wyoming, rose
from his seat at the far end OF the Pull
man, and awkwardly working his way
up the car, stopped at the elbow OF the
first man along the aisle. This was an
ecclesiastical looking parsonage, and the
rough-looking fellow beloved at him
"Podner, will you play a game OF SIX
ty-six:"
The other smiled and murmured dec
lination, whereupon with disappointed
look the horseman addressed the next
male passenger with the request that he
play sixty-six. Another refusal, and a
further showing OF chagrin, were fol-
lowed by application TO third and .
fourth and fifth man until the whole
car had been canvassed. At the last neg
ative answer the big fellow turned and
looked down the aisle despairingly.
Then. steadying himself by the backs of
two seats, he roared:
Gents. this here's calamity. ]

Hold on Hey, Stop it," shrieked
the ecclesiastical parsonage. II have

weeks and woefully misunderstood you

And for eight hours thereafter the
rest Of the men stood in line waiting to
relieve one another at the card table SO

about squeaky journal. II seems that
party was inspecting the engines wht n
all at once a bearing began to squeak.
Squeak. squeak, squeak" 1t went and
the oilers Jumped with the oil can in
hand; they flooded every cup with oil,
but still the shrill squeak could be heard.
II began to be alarmed myself, and
climbed over every part Of the engine.

guaru you rs the eagles guard their
young"
Louis followed this advice, and he
felt again as he had felt in the past
when his elder brother was his ideal Of
all that was brave and strong and hand
some. The rising sun was flushing all
the cloud patches floating in the upper
blue and lighting up the crowns OF the
snow peaks when Louis Kyle woke from
refreshing sleep and saw his brother
and the Sioux girl standing with their
backs toward him and talking in low
tones. Kushat brought some dried meat
from her saddlcbag, and Of this the
three made meal which 10 the brothers
was the sweetest they had ever eaten.
When they had finished breakfast, Louis
laid his hand on Henry's shoulder and
said:
"Let us go 20 our friends. Let us find
Captain Brandon.
II will put you on the road and
watch you till out Of all danger" re-
piled Henry, "but do not ask me 10 60
with you. have sworn an oath, and
when have done what lies before me
will come with you to father and moth
er and ask forgiveness. TIL then do not
urge me, but yet little longer let me
follow my own bent
LET it be as you say, Henry. / only
wished others who loved You as much to
be made happy by the change that has
rome over you.
Tell them when You see them.
Henry was interrupted by low cry
from Kushat. She had assembled an ele-
vation near by and was watching in the
direction Of the pass
"What do you see?" called Henry.
1.-THE white smoke Of rifles"
The brothers ran To where she stood,
and looking toward the valley they could
see that conflict was in progress.
Captain Brandon is attacked, " ex-
claimed Henry, and he is holding
them at bay. Now TO the rescuel Now
| may have chance to strike the blow
that swore should fall on Bouton's
head. We will leave the horses. Come,
Kushat! Come Louisl"
With blazing eyes and compressed lips
and nostrils dilating with the keen ex-
citcment Of the occasion Henry Kyle,
examining his. rifle as he ran, dashed
down the mountain.

"Kushat is up there with Henry Kyle.
You told me that il was the other broth

"She seems 20 love the family,
snecred Bouton as he stepped behind a
rock 10 keep out Of range
Nora Kyle overheard the conversation
between Bouton and Black Eagle, and
watching the cliffs, from which the
puffs Of white smoke curled up, she saw
bit Of ycrmilion coloring moving
along the giddy crest Of the rocks, and
she said 10 Alice:
THAT is Kushat"
Eyes, -" said the captain, "and the
rifeman who is sending death into the
ranks Of the outlaws is your brother
Henry. All, If he had only joined US in
timcr
Then he would have been true to
himself" sighed Nora
AT length the firing died out, and the
vermilion speck disappeared from fur
up the mountain side. When Bouton
saw this and believed he could move
about in safety, he left the protection Of
the rocks and mounted his horse. He
felt in his wicked heart that Henry
KYLE watched for him, and death would
be certain If he once yentured within
range If the dreaded rifle. Not only
hate for but dread Of Henry Kyle made
him duubly anxious 10 get him out Of
the way. and, as has been shown. he
used every means in his power 10 ac-
complish his purpose. AS BOuton rode
in the direction which Font Robb had
taken he reviewed the incidents already
recorded, and he felt elated and depressed
by turns He had ridden about a mile
when he heard firing 10 the front, and

had been brought to halt With an
oath he demanded 10 know what was

And Robb, whose brain was none Of

Robb declared that he had men out
fianking at that moment and that he
expected 10 get the little party out Of
his way before an hour was over. Then
he asked:
What are you goin to do with the
boss?"
"You mean Brandon?"
That's the rooster I'm alludin TO. :"

though there was no one but Robb with

With the enormous amount Of apples
to be marketed, il will not do, as In cases
Of small crops, 10 pack some OF the poor
with the good. All the expenses are
Just a. great for barrel Of poor fruit as
for barrel OF fine, and as IL Is likely to
be wear of low or moderate prices even
for the best, poor lots of fruit will bring
very low prices, and it will be far better
10 turn them into cider than to attempt
TO market them.
Several pickings give the best results.
Apples are generally picked too ripe,
more especially the earlier varieties.
Another advantage derived from these
several pickiugs is having much long
er time to market the product, taking
advantage Of early markets when the
fruit is scarce and consequently bringing
much higher prices. Another advantage
is that the trees being relieved OF por-
ton, enables the remaining fruit 10 devel-
op in size and goodness.
Look over the orchard, and in the case
of any OF the red varieties that are OF
of good size aud show considerable color,
relieve the trees of such and hurry them
into the market. The English markets
will be at least 81 barrel higher during
September and October than during No
vember and December.
In packing the cases that recommend
nothing smaller than l2 inch apple
should be placed therein, and the larger
the better. The small sized il Is far bet
ter 10 pack in barrels. These cases are
used for the purpose OF catering TO a bet
ter class of buyers, and fine fruit must
be in them TO obtain good results. Some
have been foolish enough to pack miser-
able rubbish In them, probably thinking
the case and the paper would make the
fruit inviting.

With the sound OF thunder IL crashed
doiCn.
Captain Brandon peered down and could
see the confused mass of men and horses,
and he could hear the nervous orders OF
the leaders, high above which rang out
Bouton's voice:
Get back, men, get back! Brandon,
curse him, is on the cliffs!'
The first line fell back on the second
and the second on the third, until, or.
derless and demoralized, they were out
of the fatal rift.
"What are we to do?" asked Font
Robb, who, with Bouton, had been try.
ing to get order out of chaos.
"Do?'' replied Bouton. 1--WE must
stay here for the night. Dismount, men.
1t is not the first time we have been
forced to make dry camp. "
While the captain was watching from
the summit Of the pass and the out
laws were tangled up i'll the darkness
another and an important observer occu-
pied a position Oh the opposite hills.
This was Henry Kyle, and he was ac-
companied by the faithful Kushat. All
day Fairplay and his gang had followed
them, but ut distance so safe that they
never came within range Of the dreaded
rife.
"They will start no fires tonight,
Kushat," said Henry to his companion.
"This must be my opportunity. "
"To do what?" she asked.
"To attempt the rescue Of the prison
ers."
"You would enter the camp?"
