laid their boat loads of fresh eggs, he fed
sparingly upon the tender wigglers and
then moved away to the shades of an
overlapping elm root, as if the sunlight
made him weary. For a month he re-
manned here, refusing to come when Zeb
called him and taking no heed of the
throbbing new life which June had en-
gendered. Then came the end. Early in
July Zeb went to the spring to get water
for his morning coffee, and saw Ruther-
ford floating on top of the water. Zeb
picked him up carefully and found he had
been dead several hours.
Zeb put the body on the scales for the
last time, and discovered that Ruther-
lord had shrunk away to less than three
pounds. Then he wrapped him in cloth
and buried him in the garden among the
sweet peas. Later, with the aid of chalk
and shingle, he added up Rutherford's
earnings, and learned that by selling him
Is times to the same man he had obtained
52O6, which is probably a larger amount
than ever was paid for any other salmon.

The Little Field by the Sea.

On gray day by the sea,
| looked from the window and saw
The beautiful companies of the daisies bow,
And toss in the gusty flaw.
For the wind was in from the sea;
The heavy scuds ran low;
And all the makers of holiday were abashed,
Caught in the easterly blow.
My heart, too, is field
Peopled with shining forms,
Beautiful as the companies of the grass,
And herded by swift gray storms.
A thousand shapes of Joy,
Sunlit and fair and Wild
All the bright dreams that make the heart
of man
AS the heart of a little child
They dance to the rune of the world,
The shareholder ageless rune,
Glad as the wind blown multtudes of the
grass,
White as the daisies in June.
But over them, ha, what storms!
In from the unknown sea,
The uncharted and ever-soundin5 desolate
main
We have called Eternity.
They shudder and quake and are torn,
AS the stormy moods race by.
And then in the teeth Of re1nurse the tenn
pesJuous lull
Once more the hardy CIV.
Fear not little folk OF 1uy heart
Nor let the great hope in you fail,
Being children Of light, ye are made the
flowers Of the grass
To endure and survive and prevail

Last year The Republican Journal Pub
llshing Company had six months contract

ly Tribune by which the two papers Were
furnished to new subscribers at s., and to
old subscribers paying in advance for s. .25.

Mckinley and the Press.

Maj, McKinley's tribute to the press of
the country is in marked contrast to the
snarling attitude OF the silverite orators
toward the newspapers. The fact that the
press of the country is so largely on the
side of the honest money ticket no doubt
accounts for the feelings of the silverites
on this score, but it nevertheless remains
a conspicuous fact that never since the
civil war have the newspapers of the
country been arrayed in such solid mass
in favor of one party and against another.
The press stands out conspicuously as the
defender of the national honor and public
faith, and the foe of dishonor and repudia-
ton. Boston Herald.

Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr. E. D. Jenkins, Of Lithonia, Ga,
SAYS that his daughter, Ida, inherited
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year She was treated
with various medicines, external appli-
cations and internal remedies, without
result Her suterings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.

The Old Country Road.

Where did it come from and where did it go
That was the question that puzzled us So
AS we waded the dust of the highway that
flowed
By the farm like a river-the old country
road.
We stood with our hair sticking up through
the crown
OF our hat, as the people went up and went
down,
And we wished in our hearts, as our eyes
fairly glowed,
We Guild find where it came from-the old
country road.
We remember the peddler who came with
his pack
Adown the old highway, and never went
back;
And we wondered what things he had seen
as he strobe
From some fabulous place up the old country
road.
We remember the stage drivers look of de-
light,
And the crack Of his whip as he wheeled in
to sight;
And we thought we could read in each glance
he bestowed
A tale Of strange life up the old country
road.
The movers came by like ship in full sail,
With rudder behind in the shape of a pail
With rollicking crew and a COW that was
lowed
With a rope on her horns down the old coun-
try road.
And the gypsies-how well we remember
the week
They canped by the old covered bridge on
the creek
How the peighbors quit work, and tile crops
were unhoed,
Till the wagons drove off down the old coun-
try road.
Oh! the top of the hill was the rim Of the
world,
And the dust Of the summer that over it
curled
Was the curtain that hid from our sight the
abode
Of the fairies that lived up the old country
road.
The Old country road l can see it still flow
Down the hill of my dreams as it did long
ago.
And | wish even now l. could lay off my
load
And rest by the side of the old country road.

inhabitants of the Island Fright
ened by the Trembling of
the Earth.

London, Dec 17-Great Britain is in
the thrOes of q genuine and unprecedent-
ed sensation. An earthquake, the most
violent ever experienced in this country,
has shaken every shire from Durham to
Surrey and from London to the Welsh
coast The SubterraneouS disturbance
was first noticed at about 5:30 o'clock
this morning, and lasted from four to
thirty seconds. At many points two DIS
tinct shocks were experienced.
The most severe shocks were felt at
Cheltenham lane. Ledbury and Dean
Forest. The earth's shaking was accom-
panied by a loud, rushing sound. Build
ings were violently shaken, furniture was
shifted, doors were thrown open and pic
lures and other ornaments were upset.
The Inhabitants were panic-stricken and
fled from their houses.
The earthquake also visited Birming-
ham and other various points III Shrop-
shire and was violent in Worcester ana
the country surrounding that city. Houses
rocked and furniture was overturned.
The greatest alarm prevailed everywhere.
Chimneys were overthrown and windows,
ETC., were smashed. At some points per-
sons on the country roads were thrown
down and number of people We're
thrown out of their beds.
HEREFORD cathedral was injured. The
dull rumbling beneath the earth's sur
face was followed by two loud crashes
and a terrible lifting and rocking. The
panic at HerfOrd was SO great that one
woman died Of fright People. rushed
wildly into the streets. Many chlmneys
fell crashing into the thOrOughfares and
all the pinnacles of ST. Nicholas church
toppled over and part of the pinnacle of
the cathedral fell to the ground.
At Liverpool the earthquake was pre-
coded by heavy thunder and fearful
hailstorm.
Tn oDdon tho 40 rthOuo1yn yyoc only
slightly felt. A singular phenomenon
occurred at BridgenOrth. near ShreWs-
bury, previous to the disturbance. The
streets seemed to be on fire and there
was a violent report, accompanied by a
shaking of the earth. People who were
going abroad in that vicinity say that
they were for a time unable to walk for
the vibrations.
There was very great excitement
among the rustics about Poole, who
thought that the end of the world had
come.

in those districts.

port that they felt the rails oscillate.

CALIFORNIA WINES BOOMING.
Several Important and Large Shipments
Recently Made.

Several Important and Large Shipments
Recently Made.
The enthusiasm demonstrated in the
meeting of the winemakers held Il short
time ago appears to be warranted by
the healthy condition of the wine market
indicated by activity and larger transac-
tons along the entire line, says the San
Francisco Call The shipping business
to Eastern trade centers is getting into
more satisfactory channels again. Among
the more formidable deals we notice the
transfer of 100000 gallons of Sonoma
county wines of the vintage of 1895 to
the Gundlach Bundschu Wine company
of this city. These wines are the prod
ucts of the late l. de Turk of Santa
Rosa, and were made a few months
prior to his death under his special care
and supervision. The sale was effected
under satisfactory conditions and prices
by William II. Lumsden, executor of
the De Turk estate, and received the af-
frmation of the probate court Prior to
the election no satisfactory bid could be
obtained for this choice lot of wines.
while after the result of the election was
established a lively competition for their
purchase was inaugurated with the
above result
