EARLY DAYS IN ILLINOIS.
Domestic Life in the Era Of the VOL
and the Rattlesnake.

-
When l was a young man out in
Mclean county, Ill.," said Elnathan
Rockwell, an octogenarian of this city,
Il walked four miles through a deep
SNOW to see my girl one night, and
more snow began falling 80 heavily
that l couldn't get back home across
the prairie, and had to stay at her
folks house all night. There was moth
ing strange in that, as settlers were
few and far between, and 1t was COM
mon for %neighbors to stay all night
with n another. There was nothing
strange, either. in my having on a
pair of buckskin breeches. for cloth
was a scarce article with us in those
days, and what we had was homemade.
Deer were plentiful, and buckskin
clothing vas common wearing apparel
in the winter.
THE breeches 1 went sparkling in
that night were made from a skin that
hadn't been properly dried, and were
a little green yet. My girls folks had
moved from their first log house into
a new one, and as their new house,
like all dwellings Of the prairie, had
but n apartment. they made a shake
down for me in the vacant log house.
There wasn't any door to the old house.

moor by the side Of my bed. Some

log cabin l had built.
Our nearest neighbor was five miles
away, and the first winter we lived on
our place all the company we had was
wolves that came boldly into the yard
and picked up what they could find,
wild turkeys that came and ate the
crumbs that were swept out, and deer
that came from the timber and tried to
sneak a share of the corn fodder we
fed our COW and oxen on. That winter
my wife walked five miles and back,
morning and evening, for three days,
to do weaving for a neighbor. her pay
being a pair of chickens that we want
ed to start a flock with.
When our baby was three months
old my wife used to leave it on the bed
while she drove the oxen as ! plowed
up the stiff prairie sod. We had a
good dog, which always stayed in the
cabin at such times. My wife would
go to the house every half hour or so,
to see if everything was all right. One
day she started on one of these trips
and met the dog, covered with blood,
and so badly hurt that he was drag

of the dog vas explained. The wolf

The Country Paper.

He was getting home from business he
merchant, well-to-do--
The wheels of the electric car were
throwing sparks of blue.
And around him were acquaintances
who, where they stood or sat,
By look or word or gesture, were invit-
ing to a chat
But quite ignoring all of them, except to
bow or smile,
When hailed by some one at the door or
just across the aisle,
He read with boyish eagerness, while
speeding DER the street,
The poorly printed pages of little coun-
try sheet.
He read of Tom Jones enterprise in add
ing to his barn,
And learned that "Solon Huddleson
has got bran new yarn,
That Aunty Simkins gave tea, that
crops are pretty good, p"
And that Alb. Bailey came to town and
brought a load of wood. "
Well, yes, these things are trifes, per
haps, to you and me;
For him they are reminders Of the times
that used TO be;
And from his busy city life he glances
back with joy
To see the town that oircumsoribed his
doings as a boy.
Each poorly printed paragraph upon the
homely sheet
Presents a scene familiar, or friend he
used to meet
And maybe-you can tell it by the smiles
that quickly come
There's is mention of his mother and the
other folks" at "home."
Men wander far from fortune and find 1t,
too, and yet
The farm and slothful village and its folk
they ne'er forget
And there's is not thing in city life which
greater joy can give
Than the little country paper printed
where they used to live.

soundness. Following are his words

sentiments they would seem to set
the matter at rest. In his speech in

TRACKS FOR WAGONS.
steel Rails that WIN BE a Boon in the
Country.

Country.
Elk Railroad Commissioner John
O'Donnell has invented steel track
highway, designed for wagons, car
riages, etc., which promises to solve
the difficult problem of good roads,
and of proving boon to farmers
and others. In its general appear
ance the new steel highway at a
short distance looks like a horse
railroad. Upon a closer inspection
the steel tracks are gutter shape, 5
inches wide, fiat on the bottom,
with sides about half an incn high.
The track on the inside edges is
slightly rounded to facilitate turn
ing off or on the track.
First the road bed is graded the
desired width. Twelve feet is a
good width for an ordinary one
track road, the steel track being
paved on one side, but on a thorough
fare the road should be wider, and
still wider for a double track road,
which is the model road where
there is large travel. The road is
graded or leveled with ditch about
8 inches deep. When finished this
ditch will be about 16 inches deep.
The ties are about by inches and
z feet long, projecting little be-
yond the track timbers, which are
laid feet 81 inches from centre to
centre-the standard gauge for rail-
road cars and all other vehicles.
The road is now ready to fill be-
tween the rails and at the sides with
stone, macadam finish, or any other
suitable material. The highway is
self draining, and can always be
kept in good condition.
The steel track road, besides its
general use for wagons, is the best
road yet devised for bicycles. The
five-inch steel track on either side
will do for racers, while the smooth
macadam road between the tracks
will make the tracks passible.-Re-
corder

my voice and influence are in favor
Of the best money that the ingenu-
ity of man has devised. The people
are not prepared to indulge in the
speculation of free and unlimited
coinage. And from his speech in
Congress, " Whatever dollars we
have in this country must be good
dollars good, not by the fat of law
alone, but good because the whole
commercial world recognizes their
inherentand inextinguishable value.
What is there equivocal or doubt
full in the above expressions ? Can
any truth be stated more clearly or
comprehensively
Perhaps these same people doubt
his soundness on the tariff question,
and with as good reason.

Before I Joined the Boston Red
stockings," said A. @. Spalding re-
Gently, II used 10 go up to the bat with
the sole object I'm view Of hitting the
ball from the shoulder as hard as l
could, without any idea as TO what part
Of the field IL would 20 or on the
ground or in the air. All / Thought Of
was 10 knock IL out Of the lot, as the
boys say. But / soon found that there
was something more in batting than
that think ! got my first idea Of
what batting should be from defending
my wicket in cricket when we went to
England on that baseball tour in 1874.
At any rate, got into the habit of try
ing to place the ball, instead Of hitting
at random, and from that time 1 real
lied that to try to tap the ball to right
field over the heads of the infielders
and short Of the catching reach Of the
outfielders was about the right caper.
1.-THE new method Of handling the
bat, remember, came to me all Of a
sudden. had been for some months
batting very poorly while hitting from
the shoulder, base hit being the result
in about eight Of ten times at the bat,
and even less. One day I thought 1
would try something different, and, get
ting some one to pitch swift balls to me,
went in for tapping them to right field
80 that they would fall safe, and after a
few trials up went my batting average
Of base hits at a jump, and especially
did my hitting prove useful when run
ners were on the bases The boys be-
gan to want me to follow them at the
bat, because 1 hit so as to bat them
round toward home. Then it was that
first practically realized that swift
ly pitched ball to the bat which was
just tapped by the bat-that is, hit
lightly, but not like bunt'-would go
to the field, sharp from the bat, with
surprising speed besides which, could
govern its direction better than it was
possible in hitting it from the shoulder,
as before.
Talking of swift pitching" contin-
ued Mr.. Spalding, FUSED to think that
we old time pitchers could send in a
pretty speedy ball under the rule Of the
underhand throw, but none of us ever
equaled the speed Of the cyclone pitch
ing of the present time which comes
from the regular overland throw. Then,
too, with all our practice, we could not
command the ball in delivery, as is pos
sible in overland throwing. New

Some have mildly criticized the
action of Chief Burgess Wells for
dismissing the complaint made by
Officer Smith against the New York
gentleman who violated the borough
ordinance May 2 by riding his bicy-
Gle on the sidewalk. The street in
front of the Hotel Fauchere had
been saturated with water, and one
of the riders had just fallen from
his wheel in the mud caused he al
legged by its slipping. The arrested
party wished to avoid this discom-
future and so rode a short distance
on the walk and was promptly ar
rested, The above explanation was
given the Burgess and he considered
the reason and excuse sufficient, and
remitted any punishment, but that
the Borough should be at no loss on
that account he paid out of his own
pocket to officer Smith the fees of
so cents for making the arrest. Mr..
Smith subsequently presented a bill
to the Council for the same fees and
a voucher was drawn therefor
which has been paid. This is thrift
on the part of the officer to say the
least.
