asked Desire in wrath
Not very well, Desire when there are
deputies outside the door at this moment
to see that you do no such thing; pack
up.
And pack up the embezzler simply had
to. His lawyer captor brought him safely
to Charleston, where he got a long sem
tence in spite of the wealth and the deeds
to his claim he brought with him, and he
died in prison a few years later. The law
yer went to congress and died fighting for
the confederacy
The detective who went from New Or
leans in 1896 to get William b. Dalton, who
had misappropriated something like $780,,
600 from a private banking firm of which
he was a member, and then struck for
California by way of the Horn on sail
ing vessel eft his bones out there. Dal-
ton killed him ana then blew his own brains
out. The absconder had made a pretty
fair strike on his placer claim, and was
easily within reach of 100000 when the
detective turned up. But Dalton's success
had turned his head and carried him into
a tide of dissipation, with the result that
he got into the habit of spending more
of his time carousing in San Francisco
than he did on his claim, which he gen.
orally left to the supervision of a friend
with an adjoining calm while he was on
these San Francisco visits. Dalton was
in the midst of one of these San Francis
co debauches when the New Orleans de-
tective arrived on the Panama steamer in
the fail of 1856, his headquarters being
at the old Golden Gate Hotel 1t did not
take this detective, Charles McClintock,
long after landing to find out Dalton
whereabouts and the shape he was in.
He concluded that there was no particu-
lar hurry about completing his job, es-
pecially as there was no way for Dalton
ergF
dld not go for two weeks, and so he de-
cided to take in San Francisco a little
himself. He was a man who drank pref
ty heavily when he got started, and man
of that sort had plenty of company in
San Francisco in those days So for five
days he hauled around the town, pretty
well loaded up all the time, meeting new
drinking and gambling mates every day,
ana having rather too much fun with
himself in general than was exactly right
for a detective who was on so important
a quest as his.
"On the night of the fifth day of McCHn-
tock's carOuse he, with two men he had
met in barroom, walked into the saloon
of the Golden Gate hotel The detective
had been at the brandy so long that his
head was bad and he was a little ugly.
But he walked up to the bar with the
two men, and they ordered drinks. While
they were drinking a line-looking man
with good deal of jewelry on his person
strolled in with a couple of other we'll
groomed men. His companions recognized
those with McClintock, the detective, and
invitations to drink We're exchanged. The
fne-looking man, who appeared to be the
chief OF the party was about two parts
drunk, and he ordered wine Finally his
eye lit ON McClintock. whom he had not
noticed before, and who seemed to be in
the taciturn stage of drink.

T. B. Terry of Ohio made
an interesting experiment
with a potato this year,
This potato he cut into
se"enty-four pieces, each
piece having one sixth Of au
eye. The pieces were plant
ed In seventy'four hills
thirty-thr inches apart
each way. The land was
clover sod, the planting De-
ing done late, after a crop
suffered from lack of moist
ure but by the time the po-
tatoes had matured the ylres
covered the ground and from
an exact square rod the yield
was over five pecks of large
tubers at the rate OF 200
bushels per acre. Mr., Terry
does not recommend the use
of one sixth of an eye in
planting, but he thinks that
one eye to a hill is sufficient;
his :riment ought to
prove this. He says only
potatoes of strong vitality
would be capable Of making
such a yield as his potato
made. --Ex.

anything goes wrong with a
subscribers paper, or if he is
not given proper credit, you
may know, my son, that it is
a wlllful missdeed on the
part of the editor, 1t cannot
be attributed to a mistake.
The editor is not like other
people he never makes a mis-
take. He knows to much.
If there are any plums,

who will fill all columns with

other fellow. If you want

you don't like; you'll have to
hunt elsewhere, Ifyou want
an editor who will take

DO you see that man oyer

He is a farmer and is en-

strike and refuse to raise
a crop for a single year it
would produce a more dis.
astrous effect than would
result ro m a universal
strike Of all the brotherhood
of railroad employees and
trade unions combined. He,
with his glittering share,
furnishes substance for all
the brotherhoods and every.
one else, and if he should
"go OUT for some real or
imaginary wrong he would
paralyze the commerce of
the world on land and sea;
every locomotive would rust
in the stall, the cars would
all be siCetracked; the song
of the spindle and hum of

and silent; the goods of the
merchant would be moth.

even the government would
be powerless to interfere.

year by year, bearing the
ills he cannot shun, and
because he does not strike,
