ExllEO BY A THREAT.

Man Who Stays Another In Self-Defenss
Becomes . wandsrsr.
There are some men of such unre-
lenting purpose that when they once
register a vow to do a certain thing
no human agency can cause them to
alter their resolution" said George Rice,
of Arkansas.
Here is little story taken from
life, every incident Of which came under
my own observation. The facts arc
truly stated, as can be easily verified.
about ten years ago, in little south
ern town, two friends of mine, a young
man and man of middle age, had u
difficulty, and the former fell dead,
pierced through the heart with bullet
from a revolver.
"The blame all rested with the de-
ceased. He came of a highly-respecta-
BILE family, but had fallen into con-
vivial habits, and when drinking was
very ugly. Time and again he had made
threats against the man who killed him.
Friends of the latter told him of the
threats, and begged him to avoid meet
ing, which he did whenever possible.
At last it came to n question of killing
or getting killed, and he obeyed natures
first law.
"a jury would have cleared him be-
yond all doubt if the case had ever come
to trial, but it never did. Instead, he
forfeited his bond of $4,000, and the
cash was paid over by my hands. The
man who did the killing left for parts
unknown and has never returned.
"Why did he not stand trial? Simply
because the father of the deceased SOL
EMMY declared in the presence of all his
townsmen that if John - was acquit-
ted of staying his son he would become
the boys avenger. He would kill his
sons slayer.
The old man was never known to
break his word. His courage was of
that desperate kind that feared moth
ing. Nobody doubted that he would
do just what he said, so / advised John
- to clear out, and, as there had been
enough killing, he went.
"Ten years have gone by, and the old
father has never relented. He stands
ready to-day to make good his oath.
Argument and persuasion are useless.

ment as long as the other ves."-Wash-

PLAGUE OF RATS AND MICE.
Russian Provinces Overrun with the Pests
and Crops Destroyed.

Russian Provinces Overrun with the Pests
and Crops Destroyed.
Such a plague as civilized man never
experienced has, during the past two
years and a half, afflicted the people of
certain provinces of Russia. 1t is
plague of rats and mice. 1t has caused
tremendous damage 10 property, and, in
some instances, endangered the lives
of the people. So abnormal has been
the increase of the pestiferous rodents
in certain localities in the agricultural
districts that the afflicted provinces
have literally been swept clean of grain
in both field and granary. Having de-
stroyed the crops, the little animals
have invaded dwelling houses, and, in
scores of cases, ruined them as places
of abode. Heroic measures were adopted
by the inhabitants to rid themselves of
the plague. Colonies of cats and terrier
dogs were imported into the districts,
but after little while neither the cats
nor the dogs would pay the slightest
attention to the rodents. The govern
ment was then appealed to by the suf-
fering people and recourse was had to
scientific means of Kidding the country
of the mice. Eminent psychologists
were employed by the government to de-
wise plans to inoculate the rodents with
infectious disease, and SO successful
were they that the rats and mice died
by the million. By this means the
plague was practically stamped out
early last summer.
The numerous stories related by Con-
sui Heenan of how and why, in the
opinion of the people, the army Of TO
dents swarmed over the fields, country
houses and village dwellings, the in
difference to their presence shown by
both cats and dogs, and the absolute re-
fusal of the cats and dogs to modest the
rodents, would form q chapter more
sentimental perhaps than instructive.
The peasantry believe that the mice I'M
dertake extensive migrations en- masse
under foreboding of impending failure
of crops in those localities where the
mice originated.
Consul Heenan says that millions OF
the animals were drowned in the wells
and rivers, and that, therefore, the pop
ulation of the afflicted localities was
obliged to discontinue the use of water
from the wells and to abstain from fish,
particularly pike, as food, because it
was discovered that they contained
mice-Cleveland Leader.

Uses of Emery.

For many years most of the emery
has been brought from Turkey and the
Greek islands. Its value for cutting and
polishing has been known since the be-
ginning of history. Very crude methods
are in use for obtaining this substance
for market. Enormous fires are built
on or against the rocks, which are then
broken or cracked by throwing jets of
cold water against them. Emery has
many uses, among which are its en-
ployment in polishing and cutting. Be
ing so unmanagable, it for long time
defied the efforts of man TO put it into
available shape, but at length it was
cemented into disable forms. and it was
nodded into wheels. Emery millstones
ore a later-day improvement. They are
the most practical of all stones, because

- is TO know ABOUT IL.
In the 80 years that DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets have been sold, hundreds of thou
sands of people have taken them, and have
been cured by them. There is no longer
any possible question of their efficacy.
They are the product of experience, tried
by time. They are intended to cure con-
stipation. They are good for men, wo-
men and children. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, very easy to take, very
quick in their action. One "Pellet is a
gentle laxative, two "Pellets" mild
cathartic. A great many people make
the mistake of sandbagging their di-
gestive organs. They take some strong
and violent medicine, which creates
worse troubles than it cures. Strong
purgatives shock the system unnecessar-
lily, and they do not cure constipation
Constipation is thing that makes peo-
pie istless and 1anguid; makes their
breath bad; wakes them up with foul
taste in their mouths; puts black spots
before their eyes; makes them dizzy;
causes headache; makes them bilious |;
produces pimples and blotches-runs into
all sorts of serious consequences. All this
is cured by DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets

Aluminum In the United States.

Aluminium to the amount of only $50
pounds was used in the United States
In 1884, and the price was 50 a pound.
BY 1888 10000 pounds had come to be
used, and the price had dropped to 80
q pound. Thereafter the price fell
rapidly to s1.55 in 1890, to 81 in 1892, and
to an average of So cents in 1894, when
the amount used rose to 7o6, 900 pounds.
The average price last year was so cents
u pound, and the use Of the metal had
greatly increased, although the exact
figures are not yet compiled. Now the
price Is down to AZ cents. Most of the
output is being turned into cooking

gent practical farmer. The farmers are
OF mendicants nor wards of the govern
ment to be treated to annuities, but the
representatives of the oldest. most ho.i-
orable, most essential occupation of che
human family, upon which all other vo-
cations depend for subsistence and pros
perity.
LEGISLATION" he says, can neither
pillow nor plant. The intelligent, practical
and successful farmer needs no aid from
the government. The ignorant, imprac-
ticai and indolent farmer deserves none.
II is not the business of the government
to legislate in behalf of any class OF ciu-
zens because they are engaged in any
specific calling, no matter how essential
the calling may be to the needs and com
forts Of civilization.
Law makers can not erase the natural
laws, nor restrict or efface the operation
of economic laws. 1t is beneficial ar
rangement of the order of things and the
conditions of human life that legislators
are not permitted to repeal, amend or
revise the laws of production and dis
tribution."
Referring to the stress of competition
which the American farmer is compelled
to endure, Morton calls attention to the
nearly z,UOU,OOU OF IdrnlS VI on aSASS e"N"'
glS en- away by the government under the
homestead act of 1856. during the past 81

Referring to the impression that greater
rates of interest are charged for money
loaned upon farms than for that loaned OF
other kinds of real estate, the secretary
says the rate of interest charged on mort
cages upon residential property othei
than farms, averages S4-1OO of per cen
less than the rate of interest charged
upon farm loans.

HAS SEATTLE BEEN BUNcoED2
a $4,000 Mortgage Discovered ON
the Water Plant.

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 23.-Through an ac-
ton begun today by LINDSAY, Turner &
KING, correspondents for Lloyd & Wood,
attorneys for San Francisco parties, the
city Of Seattle finds that it is holden for
$4,000.
The matter grows out or the purchase
in 1890 by the municipality of the plant of
the Spring Hill Water Company. The
city was given a warranty deed for the
property, free of membranes, the pur-
chase price being $S50,OOO.
Now it transpires, after a lapse Of SIX
years, that the plant was, at the time Of
the purchase, mortgaged for $4,000, and
that the Puget Sound National bank. as
trustee, holds trust deco for the plant
sold.
The bonds. which were issued in 1856,
running 10 years, became due November
l. They are held by half dozen rich
San Francisco Hebrews.
The expose has aroused intense indigna-
ton, and cry of fraud and rascality is
going up.
