The Ideal Line.


The members of the Baptist Young PEG.
national meeting of that body in July, should
bear in mind that there is no better equipped
line from the East, North or Northwest,
than the popular Big -Four route via Cincin-
natl or Louisville. All through passenger
trains on this line are vestibuled, equipped
with Buffet sleepers, with Hotel Dining
Cars on day trains. At Cincinnati direct
the Queen & Crescent Route, the Short Line
to Chattanooga, via the famous High Bridge.
At Louisville, with the Southern Railway
and the Louisville & Nashville, via Nam
moth Cave, and Nashville, allowing stop
over at both these points.
The fare from Chicago will be extremely
low: For rates, time cards, etc, address

THE FIGHT WAS ON.

at the returning wanderer in vast sur
prise. He called to him in Chinese, for
he could hardly believe that this crazy
creature was the Hong Fat of the Cheer
full Heart, and asked him who he was.
There was wild and maniacal cry of
rage heard in the timber camp up the
mountain side, and Charley now knew
positively that Hong Fat had come back.
The thing which the laundryman said
was that Hong Fat was bad man, and
that he must give himself up to be held
by him, Charley Go Lee, for the white
man who would give reward in money,
and that which Hong Fat said was wild
and animal like and unintelligible, and
the two enemies grasped' at each other,
and the fight was on. &sas,s1g4. ID .s#b
Charley saw that his foe was thin
and pale and weak to look upon, but he
did not see that he was maniac, with
the strength of maniac, even count
ing the broken rib as hindrance. The
long, snaky, wasted arms of the fugitive
Of the desert closed around the washer
mans waist, and even as Charley
hooked his own arm about the neck of
the runaway to choke him and subju-
gate him, the train whistle was heard
around the curve. The ]aundryman
knew it's import, and tried to tug him
self and his prisoner off the line of
track, but Hong Fat clencehed the
harder and dragged his foe with him
to the space between the rails, where
they wallowed and shrieked, Charley
in fear and the desert man il crazed
rage. 81 b.

THOSE GOOD OLD TIMES.
When There Was Pleasure and Prof
in Stock RuYinE.

When There Was Pleasure and Profit
i'm Stock Buying.
Gust after the war Michigan was a
great state for stock,' said a stock deal
er of Chicago. Il began business life
on Michigan deal which was the foun~
dation of what the newspapers term
with twinkling glance princely
fortune. This method of handling
stock was so different from that which
prevails to-day, with our people con-
trolling the price of the world and our
'say-so' more autocratic than that of a
car, it may be interesting TO speak of
an enterprise which was possible once
and impossible now.
1.-TWO of us entered Michigan, coming
as far as Ann Arbor. We purchased
5000 sheep and with another man and a
dog started to drive them to Iowa.
Different from methods of to-day, isn't
it.! We paid $1.25 apiece for the sheep.
We had wagon and in the back of it a
barrel of cider. Well, we were just four
months on that trip, but it was good,
healthy exercise, and believe we en-
joyed every moment. OF course there
were anxieties. For example, when we
struck Illinois some of the roads weren't
properly fenced and the sheep would
scatter out all over the country. Then
came lively work, but, fortunately, the
dog was as good as four men.
II often think of the trip and COM
pare in with the present. Now we would
bring that many sheep to Chicago in as
many days and less as it formerly took
months. Now, instead of personal So
licitation among the farmers, tele-
gram serves. Instead of driving the
sheep and having that healthy outdoor
exercise on horseback, the cattle come
in cars and are here shortly after being
ordered. Instead of saying to the farm
ers and others: How much will you
give for these sheep?' we say to the
great United States: You will give so
much to-day for Sheep and no one can
or will contradict us, and our prices are
as fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. But
never have earned $1,000 with so much
satisfaction to myself as earned from
that first trip. It was the foundation
of modest fortune"-with a laugh
"and good, honest foundation it was.''

Age of Cabinets.

President McKinley's Cabinet will
touch somewhat higher mark in the
average age of its members than is
reached by presidential councils in
general. Sherman. the Nestor of that
body both in years of life and in years
of public service, is nearly Il: Gage,
the Secretary of the Treasury, is 81:
Alger. Secretary of War, is the same
are. while Wilson, Secretary of Agri-
culture, is year older, and Long,
whose name has been coupled with the
post of Secretary of the Navy. is 80.
Mr.. Mckinley himself, who is only 53,
is Il youth compared with most of his
constitutional advisers. as thus far
selected.
| Al OF the men of anything like Shel-
man s prominence and standing who
ever were in the Cabinet were much
younger on entering that body than
Sherman is now, but. of course. Sher
man was twenty years younger than
he is at present when he was selected
for HaPes' council. Jefferson was tG
when be entered Washirgton's Cabi
| oct, and Hamilton was only - when
| he went into that body. Ca ih@un was 10
. on becoming Secretary of War under
Monroe, and John Quincy Adams,
; when he began his service as Secretary
of State under the same President,
was 80. Clay was 4s when John
Quincy Adams selected him for Sccre-
ta"y of State, and his friend Webster
Ha.S % when he entered ". II. Harri-
SEQ S council. Ca passing into Cabi-
Net Office Buchanan was 81. Seward
WIS 90 and Blaine Was 81.
Some of these statesmen, like Sher-
man, received Cabinet appointment
more than once, but none at an age as
great as Sherman.s will be when he
sits for the first time at President Nc
jIKinley's council table. Calhoun was
,G2 when Tyler selected him for Secre-
tary of State, and Webster was 6S on
i'entering the same post in Fillmore's
Cabinet, while Blaine was SO when, on
| President Harrison S accession to Of
fee, he becalAe PREMIER the second
time. Thus sherman is six years old
er than was the Oldest OF his prede-
Icessors here mentioned when assum-
ing Office for the last time. But, so
far as the public believes, age has not
seriously diminished Sherman's men
tai or physical powers. Everybody
assumes that he will render acceptable
service throughout his term. Sher-

sugar Planters Bounty Claim.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February s.
The petition of the sugar planters of
the South and West for an appropria-
ton of S1,O4S, 900 to pay the sugar
bounty in full on the crop which was
planted under the Mckinley law and
harvested under the Wilson law, will
be granted by the House committee
on appropriations. The subcommittee
on the sundry civil bill had special
meeting Sunday to consider the re-
quest which had been presented by the
Congressman from Louisiana, Ne
braska and California, and concluded
that the claim was valid one.
The Wilson act cut off the bounty
entirely, but Congress made an ap-
preparation of something more than
S5,O00,O 900 to pay the bounty on the
crop which was in the ground when
the act went into effect, and which, it
is said, the planters had planted
largely on the strength of their ex-
pectations of bounty That appro-
priation was not for the full amount
of the bounties due, and was divided
pro rata among the claimants. The
additional appropriation now pro-
posed is to make up the full amount
of the bounty due for that year, and
the committee will quote the opinion
of the Supreme Court in overruling
the action of Comptroller Bowler in
Withholding payments that the pro-
posed bounty was in effect a contract
made by the government with the
planters. The committee is undecided
whether to put the appropriation in
the sundry civil bill or make it a
separate bill.
