Then He Was Hot.

A northern man travelling through
Missouri OH horseback arrived at the
bank OF river. There was no way TO
cross it except by swimming so, dis
mounting, he tied his clothes to the
horse and drove him into the river,
swimming after him. Reaching the
other side, he dressed and continued on
his way. Before going 20 feet, how
ever, he came to the forks OF the road
and looked around for a sign. There
was none, but just across the river,
near the spot he had entered to swim
across, he saw a board nailed on a
tree. There was nothing TO do but to
get in and swim across again and read
that sign. He swan across, and, after
climbing up the bank, he read the fol

TWO INVENTIVE THIEVES.
They Took u Bicycle from the
Rider on n Bet.

The bicycle thief is inventive this
year. \ young man was practicing
circles in front Of his house when two
fellows stopped on the pavement to adj
mire him. One of them, saws the
New York Herald, asked how much
the wheel weighed, and the young
man said it weighed - pounds.
The smaller of the two said that
was too light, and that he believed in
wheels weighing at least 80 pounds.
Also, he mentioned that he once came
in first in ten-mile race and rode
wheel weighing 3S pounds. At this
the larger of the strangers laughed
derisively, and said
What do YOU know about Wheels
"Why, I've ridden more wheels
than you ever saw" replied the other.
II don't believe you can ride at
ALL"
"Fll bet you five dollars | can.
Let me show him on your wheel. l
won't hurt it.
lie could ride all right. He wob-
bIed slowly on the wheel for short
distance, and then swished around the
corner and was away like the wind.
YOU'D better run after that fellow, :"
said the stranger; 81 don't know him. ="
The owner of the wheel set off, but
the short stranger must have been a
mile away by that time. Then when
! the owner came back the stranger
also had gone.

The Gentlemen Guests are Pro-

A gentlemen of Carrolton, who has

The Spanish are much put out that
the Cubans elude them Even Minister
Castellanos speaks of the enemy as the
"perpetually fugitive insurgent band"
But so long as they succeed, what mat
ters it whether they stand and fight, or
fight and flee from capture? The
Spanish have artillery. and the Cubans
none; are they to be blamed then for
skipping about? They do manage to
worry the Spaniards terribly, and that
is the business they have in hand just
new. Would they be any more patriotic
and valiant if they stood up to be
moved down by Spanish gatling guns?
We have memory of American history
that tells of our patriot fathers fight
ing from ambush and hiding-places,
and scattering as they fought. The
British reception at Concord provoked
from them the same complaint; the
'rascally'' continentals would not stand
in ranks for the red coats to pepper
them in due order of war. But it was
war just the same, and so will always
be considered. Castellanos objects to
recognizing the Cubans because they
are elusive" but he fails to understand
that elusiveness cuts nc figure in our
eyes. All the United States insists upon
is this, recognition of the fact that a
state of war prevails in Cuba.

ANARCHIsTIC TACTICS.

Now that the Supreme Court has de-
cided the Stanford case adversely to
the Government and that the At
torney- General of the United States has
given an opinion to the Pacific Railroad
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives that does not support the conten-
ton of the railroad wreckers under
General Sutro, the guns of the malcon-
tents have been turned upon the law
and its interpreters and they are de-
nounced without measure.
The ethics of the anti-funders ap-
pears to justify them in attempting to
apply rack and thumb-screw methods
to every person who has the temerity
to hold to views not in harmony with
theirs Even the principles of the law,
settled by ages of human experience,
and agreement of the wisest of the
earth as to what is justice, comes in for
denunciation and abuse.
1t is even boldly hinted that because
the Attorney General and the Supreme
Court agree in Interpretation of the
laws, there is something suspicious,
something more than coincidence in
the fact Is there no limit to the inso-
lence and anarchistic tendencies of
these whimpering rattle brains? Is
the enunciation of principles as old as
the everlasting hills, and grounded in
the experience of the ages, to be de-
inf n
the offenders escape the punishment
that is their due? Assuredly not. The
people weary of this constant assault
upon motive and attack upon character,
gogues and hypocrites are stripped be-
fore the lash of the law-they will re-
sent it in due time.
There is no more contemplate anar-
chist, not one destructionist deserving
more of the scorn of men and the whip
of public opinion, than the fellow who,
sbmitting his case to the arbitra-
ment of the law, whines under defeat
and sneaks behind the cover of assault
upon the tribunals of justice. If it is
fact that the Supreme Court and the
Attorney General, the one sitting as the
most august tribunal of the American
Nation, and deciding cold issues ac-
cording to the living principles of law,
and the Attorney General of the nation,
as the advisor and counselor of a
branch of the legislative arm of the re-
public, have arrived at grave. conclu-
sions of law that are practically the
same. that fact comes to the sensible
man and thoughtful citizen as addi-
tional confirmation of the soundness of
the doctrine enunciated by each.
But to the anti-railroad anarchist.
who would rip up the foundations of
Government itself to accomplish his
ends, such concurrence appears only as
conspiracy and agreement to undo him.
The whipped rascal never esteems the
lash that fays him. We must not ex-
pect, after all, that the rouge will fondle
the halter lovingly that throttIeS him

af1y of these 1t is the commonest trouble
that human beings suffer from. 1t IS so
common that nine -tenths of all the Sickness
in the world is traceable to it. 1t is merely
that sirnnle. common thing-constipation
There is no telling what it may lead to, but
it is sure to lead to something bad. Its irns
mediate effects are unpleasant IN the ex-
trerne. It makes people hstless, gives
them headaches, makes the digestion poor,
causes dizziness, loss of appetite, loss of
sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.
All this merely because Nature has been
imposed upon, and has been refused the
little help she needed.
This little help is furnished by Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One pill is
gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic.
There are two remarkable things about the
"Pellets One is that they never gripe;
the other that they cure permanently.
There is no other medicine that does cure
permanently. You can take any other
medicine you like, as long as you like, and
if Won stop. your trouble will come back
quickly and the chances are the trouble
will be worse than it was before. This
isn't true of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
You take them until you get yourself into
perfect working order, and then you STOP
You don't have TO take any more Pellets "
unless after while you do something that
deranges your digestive system again. We
are not guessing about these facts, and we
don't ask you to take our unsupported word
for il. Thousands of people have found
that they are true, and have testified to
them. Let the druggist who says that some
thing else is " just as good sell that some
thing else to somebody else. Don't let him
trife with your health for the sake of 3
little more profit to himself

which plants the seeds come from is
better than having perfect seed without
a knowledge of the plants which pro-
duced them.
Remedies for diseases arc given before
learning the cause or nature of the dis
ease. Recently a whole Herd of swine
belonging to a stockman became sick
with supposed cholera, but examination
after death showed that the hogs had
gorged themselves with pumpkin seeds,
which did not digest.
Start the colts into winter in good
condition, and to do this let oats be a
large part of their food ration. The
first winter is always hard on the colts,
and they need plenty of feed, and that
of the very best quality, to get them
along nicely. Oats are not expensive
feed now, and it can hardly be consid-
cred economy to put a colt on corn
and hay ration all the winter through.
The demand for choice mutton has
largely increased during the past five
years. The Introduction of the mutton
breeds on farms has added to the quail
ity of the meat, which educated con-
sumers to the use of that which before
could not be obtained 1t is doubtful
if any farmer who has made a speciality
of mutton sheep would go back to the
wool breeds, even if wool sold at double
the present prices.
The stalls cannot be dry unless they
are arranged with the object of afford
ing perfect drainage. Absorbent ma
terial will assist in keeping the animals
dry during the night, but when the bed
is very wet, and the liquids are allowed
to accumulate, the animals will suffer
severely if the weather is cold and COWS
will shrink in their milk Comfort and
rest are essential TO thrift, and it will
cost less to keep the stock dry than it
Will to give extra food to create animal
heat.
There are but few large flocks of
sheep compared with those that are
smaller, as farmers keep sheep more
for the purpose of utilizing materials of
no value than with the expectation of
realizing large sums therefrom; conse-
quently, while the total number of
sheep in this country is large, yet each
farmer (taking the average number in
the fioclls) has but few, but farmers will
always keep sheep because they cost
but very little under certain circum-
stances.

THE CASE OF ITALY.

italian pride has been sorely hurt and
humiliated. The Abyssinians have de-
feated the flower of the army of Italy.
and sent it in disgraceful retreat to it's
base. The popular storm that followed
has burst with such fury upon the Gov
ernment that Crispi has resigned. and
even the crown itself is threatened with
an attempt to revolutionize the Govern
ment
Yet, but a few days ago the Italian
people were applauding the army and
boasting of the triumphal march it was
making into the heart of the country of
the enemy. A great defeat has turned
the applauding palm into the clenched
fist. OF course, when the first fever of
resentment has passed. patriotism will
assert itself once more, and there will be
a rally of public opinion to the side of
the war party. In the meantime, how
ever. there is some reason to fear, if
the dispatches are verify, that revolu-
tionary movements will develop.
1t is said that the cause of the mishap
really was the clamor of the italian
press against what it termed ''the inac-
ton Of the army IN Abyssinia" That
means that the better judgment of the
commander of the army was supplanted
by the clanor of newspaper warriors.
and the result is a humiliating defeat.
That fact carries with il its own lesson.

fully with headquarters in a newspaper
Office.
