shipping Western Grain.

New YORK, Sept 20.-These are busy
days among the grain elevator and
storage warehouses around the harbor
of this city. Most of the elevators are
kept going night and day, and thou
sands of extra hands have been taken
on within the past few weeks to help
load the foreign steamers Not since
the seasons of 1890 and 1891, when the
foreign grain crop failed, has there
been SO much activity among the grain
elevator men. They say that if the
demand keeps up the exports this
year will be larger than ever before in
the history of the country.

Employees of the Treasury Departments
VIII Have an "Honorary Roll"
WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-For years
employees of the government have
clamored for civil pension list, and
at last Secretary Gage has decided to
establish what he calls an honorary
service rolf for the treasury depart
ment, the main object of which is de-
clared to be to increase the efficiency
of the clerical force without entailing
hardship upon those clerks who have
grown old in the public service and
whose usefulness may be more or less
impaired by age. 1t is proposed to
transfer to this roll all clerks who
have served 80 years in the civil serv-
ice, and have attained the age of 20
years.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 2O.-Ex-Lieut.-
Gov. Percy Daniels, of this state, has
startling proposition to make at the
coming irrigation congress soon to be
held in Nebraska His plan is to
tap the Missouri river at the mouth of
Milk river in Montana and turn it's
waters into a canal that will empty
into the Red river of Texas. The
length of the canal by an air line would
be 1000 miles, but the length of it me-

The cost of the canal, in his judgment,
would be $500. OOO. 900.

We make mistakes, or what we call
such. The nature that could fall into
such mistakes exactly needs, and in
the goodness of the dear God is given,
the living of it out. And in the pure,
patient living of it out, I'VE come to find
that we have fallen, not into hopeless
confusion of our own wild ignorant
making, but that the finger of God
has boen at work among our lines,
and that the emerging is into His

ing up for us our own undoings; that
He makes them up beforehand, that

Plenty to do. If nothing else strikes
you, suppo Sc you think over how to
get some men to attend the house of
the Lord. The late John Dougall was
in the habit, in his earlier days, of
going out early on Sabbath mornings
and hunting up men along the docks
and inviting them to come to church,
and taking them there. Yet he never
lost his dignity by so doing. He was
worker for Christ; he felt that he
had something to do and did it.

SHERIDAN IN BATTLE.

Gen. Horace Porter, in his "Cam-
paigning With Grant, in the October
Century, says of Sheridan at Apo
mattox: No one could look at Sheri-
dan at such a moment without an I'M
disguised admiration. In this cam
paign, as in others, he had shown
himself possessed of military traits of
the highest order. Bold in concep-
ton, self reliant, demonstrating by his
acts that "much danger makes great
hearts most resolute," fertile in re-
sources, combining the restlessness of
JUS, it is no wonder that he should
have been looked upon as the wizard
of the battle field. Generous of his
life, gifted with the ingenuity of a
Hannibal, the dash of a Murat, the
courage of Ney, the magnetism of
bis presence reused his troops to deeds
of individual heroism, and his uncon-
ouerable columns rushed to victory
with all the confidence of Caesars
Tenth Legion. Wherever blows fell
thickest, there was his crest. Despite
the valor of the defence, opposing
ranks went down before the fierce
ness of his onsets, never to rise again;
and he would not pause till the folds
of his banner waved above the strong
holds he had wrested from the foe.
Brave Sherida2I I can almost see
him now; his silent clay again quick
ened into life, once more riding "Ri-
enzi'' through fire of hell, leaping
opposing earthworks at a single
bound, and leaving nothing of those
who barred his way except the frag-
ments scattered in his path. AS long
as manly courage is talked of, or he
role deeds are honored, the hearts of
a graceful people will beat responsive
to the mention of the tallsmanic name
of Sheridan.

THE Id W REGULAT TING THE PUNT
ING OF DEER IN VERMONT.

At the last session of the Vermont
Legislature a law was passed making
it lawful to hunt deer in the state dur
ing the month of October. The law
prohibiting the killing of deer in the
state has been in effect long enough
to allow quite large number to
gather in some parts of the state, but
we doubt if there are enough of them
to do any great damage to the farmer.
It will be but short time now before
they will be thinned out SO that a
deer in Vermont will be a rarity in
deed Following is the Act passed
regulating the hunting of deer:
SEC. 1. No person, except in the open
season as hereinafter provided, shall pur-
sue, take or kill a wild deer, or have in his
possession a wild deer, or part thereof, SO
taken or killed; and the possession of deer
or any part thereof, except in the open
season, shall be presumpt1ve evidence that
the person having it in his possession is
guilty of violation of the provisions OF
this section. No person shall at any time
kill any moose or caribou, or have in his
possession any moose or caribou, or part
thereof, killed in this state; and having
in his possession any moose or caribou in
this state shall be presumptlve evidence
that the same was killed in this state con-
trary to law.
SEC g Deer having horns may be hunt
ed and taken in this state during the
month of October in each year; but no
person shall hunt, kill, or destroy or cap
ture deer in this state:
(a) With a dog Or dog kind. (b) By
the aid or use of Jack or artificial light
Co By the method known as crushing
(d) While the deer are yarded, or (e) By
the use or assistance Of any snare, trap or
salt lick.
SEC. 3. No person, during the open sea-
son of any year, shall take, kill, destroy or
have in possession more than two deer.
SEC. 4. Deer killed or taken in YER
mont shall not be transported by any per-
son or corporation, except that the carcass,
or parts thereof, of one deer, lawfully
killed in this state may be transported in
the open season and for ten days thereaf-
ter when open to view, tagged and plainly
labelled with the name of the owner there
of and accompanied by him; and the pos
session of deer or part thereof by a COM
mon carrier or servant of common car
rier, unaccompanied by the owner, or not
tagged and plainly labelled with his name,
shall be a violation Of the provisions of
this section by such common carrier and
servant. But this section shall not apply
to the head or feet, or pelt of deer severed
from the body.
SEC. 5. person or corporation violat
ing any Of the provisions of this act shall
be fined 800 for each offence, one half of
the same to go to the complainant, the
other half to the state.-No. "a, Acts '96.
The Vermont Fish and Game
League offer $50 reward for informa
ton leading to the conviction of any
person or persons who have violated,
or may violate, the above law; the
offer to hold good until Dec. 1, 1898.

Sick-poison is poison which makes you
sick. It comes from the stomach. The stom-
ach makes it out of undigested food. The
blood gets it and taints the whole body with
it. That's the way of it. The way to be rid
of it is to look after your digestion. If your
food is all properly digested, there will be
none left in the stomach to make sick-Loison
out of. If your stomach is too weak to see to
this properly by itself, help it along with a
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. That's
the cnre of it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is
delicious, healthfu1, tonic cordial, made of
pure medicinal plants, herbs and wine. 1t

ABOUT ROCKEFELLER.
John d. Rockefeller.

John ID. Rockefeller.
He is Americas richest man.
His wealth is worth more than
5000, 600, 900.
When boy he had the reputation
of being lazy.
His colossal fortune was made in
oil-Standard oil.
He gives away $5OO,OOO in charities
every year, it is said.
He can play the violin very we'll
and has a fondness for pictures.
His income is trifle over $24, 4SO a
day-acout $17 minute.
He never attends the theatre or
opera, but occasionally goes to a con-
cert.
He looks like a preacher. He has
sloping shoulders and a melancholy
face.
His highest ambition when young
ster was to be trapeze performer in
a circus.
He founded the Chicago University
and has given to that institution about
S1U,UUU,OUU.
He pays $4,000 year to the per-
son who looks after the distribution
of his charities.
He saved money from the time he
first commenced to earn it. In two
years he had put away $500.
Then he and M. B. Clark went into
the commission business in st. Louis,
and in eight years he had saved over
St, 900.
With this capital he started little
oil refinery, out of which grew the
Standard Oil Company and his vast
wealth.
In a short time the Rockefellers
were near unto failure and were res
cued by Henry M. Flagler's father-in-
law, M. V. Hardness.
Once safely established the Rookie
fellers started out to acquire the
plants of their rivals. Some were &C
quired by purchase, others by other
means.
So successfully was this plan of
business campaign carried out that
to day there is scarcely a rival plant
practically all of the oil industries
are in the control of the Rockefellers.
