AN OFFICIAL APOLOGY,
After Twenty-Two Years He Wanted
to Make Record.

After Twenty-Five Years He Wanted
to Make Record.
I had been walking all day to reach
the hamlet at Bentonyille, and as I en-
tered the place at sundown and was
inquiring my way to the tavern,
rough looking man accosted me with:
'Look-ahere, stranger, I don't quite
like your looks"
Sorry for that. but can't help it,"
replied
No, don't like your looks" he con-
tinued. Fact is you pear to be a sus-
picious character, and 1 guess I'll lock
You up"
Have you authority to do that?"
Il should smile that I had! I'm a
Constable, and I shall lock you up as
suspicious character"
tried to argue the matter with him,
but he was ''sot" and ugly to boot and
he was taking me to the lookup when
two or three men interfered to the ex-
tent of suggesting that be taken be-
fore the Justice Of the Peace for imme-
diate examination. After some hesita-
ton this was agreed to, and a crowd
numbering a score of people accompa-
AA'SA ~ AC OCQ6S was GdLlnS sup
per, but he hurried up and came over
to his office in the back end of store
and opened court When all was ready
he asked of the officer:
Tom, what's the charge agin the
prisoner?''
Suspicion replied Tom.
Suspicion of what?''
Dunno. Jest suspicion"
II declar', but don't see nothin' sus-
picious about him." said his honor, as
he looked me over. Stranger, who be
you?"
/ told him.
'Whar We from?"
"Blissfield."
"Whar ye goin'?"
"On to Mountville tomorrow"
''Nuthin' suspicious about that What
made ye think him suspicious, Tom?"
Dunno, but it cum over me that he
was"
do you want to sw'ar out warrant
agin him?'
Guess not"
'Then the prisoner is discharged"
I went to the hotel and got supper,
and after the meal sat down on the ve-
randa for smoke. In the course of
five minutes the same Constable walked
up the steps and approached me and
said:
Stranger, I've come to apologize"
For arresting me? Yes you were
hasty, but it is all right"
Thank ye. You see; it's just this
way: I've been a Constable in this coun-
ty fur twenty-five years and never ar
rested a critter yet Got to thinkin' of
it to-day and made UP my mind to up
hold my dignity. and as you looked like
a cuss who hadn't any friends and
wouldn't kick about bein' locked UP /
run you in. Cum, hev a drink with me
and I'll resign tomorrow. Detroit Free

of the best articles of diet for them is
young clover cut fine. and they are very
fond of it; malt sprouts and cabbage
are excellent.
We can now finish off our cattle more
cheaply than can our British neighbors,
who must buy much of their feed from
us. If our farmers could but appreciate
the advantages they have in the worlds
markets, and continue vigorously their
farming and stock-raising, improving
their herds. good cattle will pay them
far better than grain-growing.
If turpentine is given to lambs for
worms let it be done after a twenty
four hour fast, and when the first stom-
ach is empty. It is not unlikely that
the whole flock is afflicted If we find
worms in one. The turpentine and
linseed oil can be administered with
milk, or the turpentine poured upon
the salt allowed them; they will eat
it readily.
Some injury to stock has occurred in
Western New York from overfeeding it
with cheap potatoes. Low as potatoes
are their feeding value in any quantity
is still lower. If given too large doses
the animals will scour and lose rather
than gain. Potatoes should never be fed
without both hay and some grain or
meal to add to their nutritive value A
limited quantity, say two or three quarts
daily, cut and sprinkled with meal, will
be greedily eaten and will greatly ben
eft all kinds Of stock.
The horseless wagon is coming, for a.
fact, but it will be some time before it
will do much damage to the horse mar
ket. This country will have to spend
a great deal Of money making good
roads before this carriage can come
into general use. and then wealthy peo-
pie, who now buy up our best horses,
will not want to give up the horse, for
there is real pleasure in driving that
spirited animal that can never be found
in guiding a machine along the road.
In stock feeding the fact should be
remembered that no one food gives all
the nutritive elements in their proper
combination for best results. A tvari-
ETY. of food is needed, but not merely to
tempt appetite, but to keep animals in
the best of health. This is more espe-
cially important for animals that are
being fatteneds and thus encouraged to
eat all they can. Corn, which is the
staple grain feed, is very poorly
adapted for a single ration.

Took 1t i'm Greek.

Among the good stories in circulation
about the late Joseph Harris. the we'll
known master Of the City of London
School, who died recently, is one in
connection with the Lord Mayor Owden.
That worthy gentleman was not "a
Greek scholar, and the Greek grafton
on speech day in Christ Hospital, to
which, on a memorable occasion, he
listened, was not Ineligible to him,
save one word. That word was "Ow-
den"-so pronounced and Mr.. Harris
used to tell his friends privately how
each time it occurred in the Greek ora
ton, Sir Thomas, fondly supposing that
compliment was being PAID to himself,
rose and solemnly bowed.-Household

TRIUMPH OF AN IMPORTANT
PRINCIPLE.

The National League for the Protec-
ton of American Institutions-a nom
religious organization, not working in
secret but in the open of daylight, and
embracing in its membership the most
distinguished citizens of all parties and
religions-has for years been doing it's
utmost to have an amendment to the
Federal Constitution adopted that viii
forever prevent appropriation by any
State of any money or ether aid to any
institution wholly or in part under the
administration or control of any church
or religious organization
This amendment was proposed to
Congress in 1875 by President Grant in
a special message. It's promotion has
since engaged some of the best ability of
the Nation. Twenty-seven of the
States of the Union already have in
their Constitutions a similar provision.
SO that it may be taken as certain if
Congress ever submits the proposition
a sufficient number of States will indorse
it to make it q part of the Federal Con
stitution.
Incidental to this work of promotion
the league has had in hand and has
most diligently prosecuted a warfare
against Federal appropriations for IN
dian schools, called contract schools. in
whole or in part under sectarfan or re-
ligious control. With such success, such
cool dignity and unruffied persistence
has the work been carried on, that all
the churches have been induced to with
draw from connection with the appro-
priations for Indian schools save only
the Roman Catholic Church.
In the dispatches published Tuesday
morning was one which gives the Sc
quel, indeed it may be the finale of this
work of the league. In the House of
Representatives the appropriation
measure for the contract sectarian
schools was up on Monday and pro-
voked a hot fight, resulting in the de-
feat of the church party. thereupon a
provision was attached to the bill pro-
hibiting the use Of any money for the

NOTE AND COMMENT

The permanent arbitration fadists are
shouting now against military training
in the schools, because, say they, such
exercises are opposed to the sentiment
of peace and arbitration. What rot. 1t
is the Womans Christian Temperance
Union that has sent out this latest pro-
test, in an effort to aid the arbitration
lists Concerning this same protest we
shall have something to say presently
in response to circular letters and petit
tions circulated by the w c. T. u.
against the bin pending in Congress to
promote military training in the public
schools. That bill should pass. not be-
cause we want children to be soldiers
especially, but because the training is
promotive of patriotism, and its mean
ing to the child is that it's duty is to de-
fend it's country and stand fast by the
institutions of freedom. But of that
later on and more fully The literature
the w. G. T. u. has sent out on the sub
ject must be studied, that its fallacies
may be exposed.
People of both sexes who ride the
wheel greatly appreciate the way the
streets are being sprinkled thus far this
season. But there is yet one improve
ment that can be made. Many ladies
and gentlemen like to ride over the
bltumen pavements these pleasant even
ings when there are very few vehicles
en- the streets, but these streets are
made so wet and sloppy that it is dam
gerous to do SO. There is no necessity
for keeping the bitumen pavements wet

verestchagin,s Damaged Hand.

There is no more skillful right hand
in the world than that of the Russian
painter Verestchagin. Yet his right
hand is thumbless. His right thumb
was bitten by a leopard some years ago,
and had to be anputated The middle
finger also of the right hand is famed
and useless, as the result of a shot
wound which the artist received on the
battlefield. More than this, the small
bones of the center Of the right hand
were also partially shattered by a fall
on the Russian Steppes, and his right
arm was broken in the same accident.
Nevertheless, it is with this damaged
right hand that Verestchagin paints
his wonderful pictures.-Westm

Death by Falling.

Many venturesome tourists and
guides perished in the Alps during the
last season of mountain climbing. The
more appropriate and consoling was the
lecture on Death by Fall in the Mount
aims, lately given before an Alpine
Club at Zurich. The renowned lect-
urer, Professor Helm, had collected
testimony from persons who fell from
considerable nights and narrowly es-
capped death. His correspondents con-
firmed the lecturers dictun that dur
ing a however protracted fall through
the air one thinks clearly and very rap
idly and there is neither fright nor
pain'-that is, no pain until the awak-
ening from unconsciousness after the
shock, if there be such an awakening

Says the Colusa Sun: "It has come
to pass that no man who dares to diff

size of it. Dare to have an opinion not

go, to be held UP to ridicule and car
tooned and carieatured. But, then.
such distinction from such sources is
coming to be really creditabIe.

The Mayor and Trustees are propos-
ing to establish pumping works in the
south end, near the river, drain to
them all surface and sewer waters and
lift out the accumulation That is go
ing to cost a goodly sum. But the
ricketty, old clap-trap pump at Ninth
and streets costs a lively figure to OPP
crate and does feeble work We sup
pose that this lift-out of drainage is
well enough, though if we had a per-
fected sewer system the present scheme
would be wholly unnecessary. It seems
that there is need to clear the drainage
out while we are waiting for a sewer
system. Possibly the expense we are
now to incur will be applicable in part
to the new sewer methods when
adopted The land to be bought will
be useful for station purposes, and
the pumps can probably be carried into
the new sewer system. But it must be
understood now, and from this on, that
this temporary drainage discharge
scheme is not to kill off the sewer sys-
tenn reform. It must be understood
that this nakeshift is not to supplant
q proper sewage disposal system either.

The San Diegan Sun says: with
plenty of money roads can be built
easy enough and good enough, but how
shall the money be raised without inn
posing a burden upon the people? That
is the point"
No point at all, and for this reason:
Under the present system, every county
in the State save two is paying more
for its road repair and possession of
poor roads than the interest and prin-
cipal on forty years time of a sum suf-
flcient to build good permanent roads
now. That is easily demonstrated Go
to your Auditors books and prove it.
But permanent roads entail cost of
that place the beneficence of the per-
manent road in increased property
values and lessened taxation in conse-
quence; in saving of time and money
in movement of products out and sup
plies in; in saving in vehicles and horses
Of food for the ene and repairs to the
other; in personal comfort; in freedom
of movement despite bad weather; in
improved rural conditions and multi
piled rural advantages and comforts
and that is by no means the end of the
catalogue. In some countries the man
who pays more for not having that
which he can have, than he would need
to pay for its possession and enjoy
ment, is held to be one of the foolish.
