A Farmer who Makes Every
thing at Home.

Jacksonville IN. C.) Times.
Mr.. Leonard Morton IS one OF
Onslow's farmers who doesn t
lose any sleep i'll attempting to
solve the financial puzzle, or
rack his brain in a vain effort to
frame tariff measure. Mr..
Morton is 81 years of age and is
firm believer in the theory that
farmer should produce every
thing he eats and wears, and up
to this date has never purchased
suit of clothes; all the cloth his
family uses is manufactured at
home from the wool and cotton
produced on his farm Mr., Nor
ton never purchased meat but
once and then only thirty
pounds. That his plan is a
good one, is demonstrated by the
fact that he doesn't owe a dollar
and never has the nightmare
worrying over hard times.

THE OLD MICHIGAN.
A Warship Built Fifty Years
ago Still on Duty.

The oldest steam warship IN
the United States Nav is the
Michigan. Her quaint shape,
glistening in continually renew
ed coats of white paint, IS a ia
lnil:ar sight to the thousands OF
Summer tourists upon the Great
Lakes, where she reigns, the
sole naval guardian Of Uncle
Sans vast interests, says the
illustrated American. Away
back in 1913, when the Mlchl-
gan was laid down, it was de-
parture of no small note that the
government should order her
built Of iron, and when the size
Of the merchant ships OF the
lakes at the time is considered
there is little wonder that her
launch the following year at
Erie, Fa., was the occasion Of a
tremendous celebration, and that
the Marine Band (even fifty two
years ago. journcyed from WASH
ington overland by stage coach
to assist in the ceremonies.
The iron plates for tie hull
were rolled at Pittsburg and
hauled across to the lake ship,
yard.
The Michigan has length OF
IO5 feet. Her draft of only nine
feet permits of entrance to all
most any channel in the chain of
inland seas where she is likely to
go, but her speed of only II
knots, and the armament car
ried, does not cut much of fig
ure when one is thinking of
modern warships.
At the same time the Michi>
gan, Anticipated as she is, makes
a sturdy show in her own waters
at carrying the flag, and can
land as SMART a party Of seanlen
as many salty cruiser. In of
fering training facilities for the
naval militia Of the Lake States
she does an excellent duty every
year.
She is armed with four 80
pound B L rifles il the main
battery, three 3-pound Hotch
kiss rapid fire guns in the secs
ondary battery, and two Cat
lings. She carries about Ioc
officers and seamen, with a ma

HIS FATHERS ADVICE.
A Gentleman of The Old School
Tells His Son What is Due
to Woman.

"Iu the hour Of trouble any
woman has right to claim the
assistance of any man." said the
gentleman of the old school to
his son. "She should not be
backward in doing so. SEe is
really coat ring favor upon
him when she seeks his aid. 1t
is piece of delicate hattery to
the man for a woman to ask his
assistance il any matter IN
which she is interested.
at is an acknowledgment OF
his superiority and of her de-
pcndence, and the man who does
not like to be depended on by a
woman died a great many years
ago, Probably he never was
born.
"Precedencc is another right
that legitimately belongs to wo-
man. Man may come second II
he chooses, but with man wo-
man should always be hrst'
Therefore, my son, if at any
time and anywhere you be in the
society of woman, in the eX-
preston of ful6llnent of a wish
she is to have the precedence.
"This may cost you some self
sacrifice, but in the end you'll be
imply repaid by the approval OF
,our conscience. 1t will not,
however, do to take this propo~
sition too literally. In time OF
danger or trouble Of any kind
man should take precedence. TIC
woman belongs the joy and
peace and safety Of life.
"Woman is also entitled to the
widest charity. Never take a
woman too literally. Of a rath-
er historical nature, she is apt tc
do and say things that may ap'
pear to have a sinister meaning
while they are really as innocent
as they can be imagined.
"Therefole, allow woman the
widest latitude, much wider
than what you claim yourself
and when in doubt always give
the woman the benefit of the
doubt. She may be led into
some extravaganza of statement
but she is entitled to have Il
covered by the widest mantle
that charity can afford.
"Never condemn her for any
thing too hastily. Remember
that charity is her birthright. -

but their blood drained to the last drop
from the fang holes in their throafs.
Yes, Sahib, tiger has done this work"
repeated Ramjan as he finished, and
gave furtive glance towards the deep
ening shades of the jungle.
Ramjan's solution was the only one
available, and soon trail of spots was
discovered, dried by the fierce sun, yet
ominous that beyond were at least
some remains of what we were look
ing for. Profiting by Ramjan's warn
ing, formed my men into square as
il to resist a cavalry charge; then, as
cending the ladder, saw just in front
of me a monster tigrcss, in act to
spring. Shouting: ''Stand firm" let
myself drop down inside the wall, just
as the monster, intoxicated from the
sanguinary revel, sprang, first on the
wall, and thence in her mad fury on
the square of bristling bayonets. Rid

the superintendent bedroom, near the
open window, baby's little cot stood
empty beside the bed of the father and

we found no signs of any sudden awak-

rumpled sheets near the doorway, and
few tiny crimson spots on them and
on the baby's pillow; but of this none
of us at first took much notice. Even
the little vigil lamp under picture of
the Virgin and Child on the miniature
shrine in corner of the room was still
burning. Near this was framed pho
tograph of a baby girl smiling on its
mothers knee, the father looking low
ingly on. While some of us remained,
looking sadly on the seemingly happy
group, straining our thoughts in won

Big yellow Dog Does Patroiman's Duty
Mt Cincinnati, q.
A big yellow dog of no particular
breed, but with touch of English bull
in his makeup, does police duty in
company with Officers Ryan and Miller
in the Rat row district, Cincinnati, o.
Rat row is on the river front, and is not
n nice place. Nobody knows where the
yellow dog came from. He simply APP
peared one night several months ago
and has been following the policemen
on that beat ever since. The officers
have taught him several tricks and
have made him valuable assistant.
His greatest feat is TO trip up person
running from the police. He slips be-
tween the runners legs and turns side
ways, throwing him readily.
"Bum," as he is called, will halt any
one ut commands; he will get in front
of man, growl viciously, and snap at
his legs until the victim stops. The
dog is Also an expert in smelling out
the Migrants and stray drunkards who
find lodging in out-of-the-way places
on The levee, and has knack of finding
open side doors to saloons after mid
night. a bark from him means that
the lieutenant is coming.

what fine times little pussy did
have at college. The boys used to Dor
row her of Uncle Jack ard make little
dinners for her up in their rooms, and
her citizenship grew very fat and sleek,
but it didn't seem 20 stop her playful
ness bit. She frisked and tumbled
ms much as ever. The minute Uncle
Jack got home from recitation and
opened his door Miss Fluff made q
leap to his shoulder and purred her de

Then began frolic--such frolic! The

a dilemma that Uncle Jack threatened
to expel Mistress Fluff from college.

fine June day. You see, she grew so
fat after awhile that she just had to
lie in the sun for long rests after her
