NOTES FROM OTHER TOWNS
Mccartney Notes.

The harvest is come. and the sound OF
reapers Is heard in our land. The harvest
is good there being large crop OF rye and
oats with plenty Of straw.
Last Wednesday the 18th, in the morn we
had a very welcome visitor in the form OF a
refreshing shower which has given new life
to the corn and potato crop. which looks tine
and promising for a big yield.
We also have another crop which was not
50 welcomely received and that's the rattle
snake crop. one day last week as George
Bures' children were playing in the door
yard large rattlesnake came to Join the
company the Oldest girl got the other child
rem in the house then ran to the next field
where Chris. Boomer was at work. and he
at once killed the reptile. il had II rat
ties and button: and seemed to be trying
to get into the house where the children
were short time after this Frank
Fischer was cutting rye near his house and
killed a large one; the day following two of
his girls were laboring in corn-fbeld and
came upon three large ones together, the
rirls had no weapons and were badly scared
as well as the snakes. both the girls and the
snakes escaped without being hurt. Now
this is not gotten up just for a snake story
il is actually true.

Cheaper Gas.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
This is the season of the year at which
the wheels of the meters of the Washing
ton Gas Company. are most fiendishly ac-
tive.
Coincidentally. it is also the season for
the resuscitation Of cheaper gas projects.
Our venerable friends Dollar Gas Bill and
'Seventy-five Cent Gas Bill" are again oc-
cupying the stage-just as though they had
not been put to Sleep in the Senate Dis
trict committee in the last hour of the last
Congress. We, the purchasers at an ex-
orbitant price of the commodity manu-
featured and distributed by the Washing
ton Gas Company, are, however, glad to
see the familiar faces of our old friends
again. We wish them both mighty we'll!
We hope great things for them. In fact
we can do nothing else but hope.
1.-The miserable have no other medicine,
But only hope"
The wheels of our meters are going round
at a record-Smashins gait, and we can only
hope for relief. We can't influence the
Senate District committee, and the occult
influence of the Washington gas commit
tee. as Senator Ingalls, used to style il, does
rot wane in the least. AS to cheaper and
better gas we are

it was discovered that he was getting

as an aggressive pugilist, and had TAX

even spread to his face, and Toby was
found to have quite engaging features
under the mask of dirt which had so
long obscured them. Of course, these
changes were made gradually, but
they were perceptible to all of us.
How long the reformation would have
taken in the natural course of events
I can't say-probably some time, for
he was about as hard little heather

that she was doing so remarkable a

news, or other, don't remember just
what, but any way it wasn't out just
on time, and our pretty girl was just
about to board her car when Toby
came flying up the sidewalk, duck1ng
under mems arms and showing folks
out of the way in great rush to give
her her paper.
She turned around with a smile for
the boy as he came lodging between
| the teams to get to her. A downto Wn
car was passing on the other track
and its bell was jingling furion>'y; an
East End car was coming up light be
hind the one for Fifth street. 1t all
happened so quickly that 10 one
knew just exactly how it did come
about, but a horse and carriage, the
ami NAL scared by the cars and beyond
its drivers control, dashed up behind
Toby as he reached out the paper.
There was no time for words; the
slight, gloved hand extended for the
unlucKy sheet caught the boys arm
and dragged him almost from under
the boots Of the maddened horse, back
out of danger; then the girls foot in
its backward step hit the rail, she
stumbled and fell in front of the East
End car just slowing up to avoid
bump with the one for Fifth street.
A half dozen men sprang to lift her
from the track, but the wheel had
gone far enough to partially crush her
arm, and the warm blood gushed from
a wound in her head, soaking the fair
soft curls and streaming down her
face.
They got carriage and took her to
the hospital and sent for doctors, and
some one who knew where she work
ed called up Paine & Allingham and
they had every thing done that could
be done.
She isn't going to die, but it will be
a long time before she can leave the
hospital. She hasn't got any folks,
but the firm she worked for are very
thoughtful for her and spare no pains
or expense to make her as comfort
able as possible.
And Toby, it just broke Toby all up;
you wouldn't known him honestly; he
don't seem like the same boy at all.
He is SO quiet and we'll behaved that
the rest Of the newsboys are beginning
to stand as much in awe of his dignity
as they used to of his fists. He at
tends strictly to business, and before
he sells a single paper he takes one
to the hospital, and then as soon as he
is sold out he cleans himself up and
goes down to Smiths and buys little
bouquet of some sort and takes it up
and sits up with her until the nurse
thinks it's time for him to go. The
nurse says that he has told her pa
tient all the story of his short wander
ing, lawless life, and these two lone
people who belong to nobody-the
sweet refined young woman and the
unframed, untaught boy of the streets
are developing a great friendship
for each other.
To poor Toby, cuffed and kicked
from his cradle up, passing his vaga-
bond life among bad men and unwom-
anly women, she is opening the door
of new world, and who knows but
that at some time in the future,
thanks to her gentle teaching, the
boy may surprise us by making man
of himself after all.

Never before in the history of diplo-

Never before in the history of diplo-
macy and international complications
has the pen shown it's supremacy over
the sword as it is doing now. The APP
parent alliance of France with Ger
many in the Transvaal matter has
brought England to make terms with
France. Russia's attitude is also
shifting. The pen, always mightier
than the sword, may avert clash
with swords, and the international
complications which threatened war
two weeks ago, may be adjusted with
out the firing of a gun or the un-
shea thing of the sword. The story OF
peace and good will does not seem to
have lost its potency.
