COTTON PICKING MACHINES.
They are Sure to Come in the Near Future

The boat is probably twenty inches
deep. At each end is an iron ring, tc
which steady horse is hitohed. The
pickers, usually two, get into the boat,
start the horse between two rows of
cotton, and with scarcely any bending,
and no carrying Of heavy sacks, ride
in ease while they work. 1t is claim
ed that a person who can pick $50
pounds with a sack can pick 200
pounds with boat, for the reason
that no time is wasted putting the
cotton into the sack, the picker drop
ping it loose in the bottom of the
boat. Inventor Wilson already has
secured a patent for his cotton boat.
Several of them will be sent to Southern
States this week, where they will be
exhibited in the cotton fields.
It would seem that the backache Of
the cotton field would have suggested
long ago such simple contrivance,
but an old Texas cotton buyer said
that he had never before heard of such
a thing; that persons regularly engag-
ed in the business developed Cotton
picking muscles" in their backs, and
never need boats.

A Small Boys Revenge.

He was a small boy-not such a
very small boy-in an out-of-town
school. He had written composition.
1t was upon the subject Of dogs.
Now the teacher Of the school was a
man, and he was not popular. He
was what the boys called "mean. !"
They disliked him thoroughly, from
the tips Of his shining shoes to the
ends Of his pompadour combed hair.
In the composition there was a story
Of a dog. 1t was the story Of very
mean dog, and as the composer of the
literary effort came to the last line he
read it emphatically and with great
distinctness of utterance, and the
hearts Of all the other small boys in
the room, as they listened, quaked,
half with delight and half with fear,
knowing what was to follow, and gaz-
ing, fascinated at the upright coiffure
of the master as the reader ended:
"And that dog was so mean that his
hair stood on end.''

IT is scarcely necessary to call at
tention to the superior merits OF The
TwIcE-A-WEEK edition of TIIE ST.
Louis REPUBLIC as a newspaper. 1t
has SO many advantages as news
gathcrer, that no other paper can claim
to be its equal. The whole field l., of
news is covered thoroughly. The
special features and illustrations arc
always the best. More noted writer's
contribute to it's columns than to any
other paper of its class. 1t is pub,
lished especially to meet the wants of
that large class of readers who have
not the opportunity or cannot afford
to read daily paper. 1t is the lead
ing Democratic paper of the !; sllssis- lis
sippi Valley and the South and West.
By special arrangement made tor a
limited time only, our friends will be
given an opportunity to take advan-
tage of this liberal proposition:
Remember the offer, THE TwIcE-
-A-WEEK REPUBLIC, Is pages week,
and the ANDERSON INTELL1GENcER,
8 pages week, both one year for
only $500.

It's This Way.

A writer gives this amusing expla-
nation Of the abilities Of woman versus
the limitations of man. Just watch
them and see if it is not true. A man
cannot do two things at time. A
woman will broil a steak, and see that
the coffee does not boil over, and
watch the cat that she does not steal
the remnant Of the meat on the kitch-
en- table, and dress the youngest boy,
and set the table, and see to the toast,
and stir the oatmeal, and give the
orders TO the butcher, and she can do
it all at once and not half try. Man
has done wonders since he came be-
fore the public. He has navigated
the ocean, he has penetrated the mys-
teries Of the starry heavens, he has
harnessed the lightning, and made it
pull street cars and light the great
cities Of the world. But he cant find
q spool Of red thread in his wife's
work basket; he can't discover her
pocketin adress hanging in the closet;
he cannot hang out clothes and get
them on the line the right end up.
He cannot hold clothes pins in his
mouth while heis doing it either. He
cannot be polite to somebody he hates.
He can't sit in rocking chair with
out banging the rockers into the base
board. He can't put the tidy on the
sofa pillow the right side out. He
cannot sew on button: In short, he
cannot do hundred things that wo-
men do almost instinctively.

Cheating atlg tAs Africans.


Soon after the war the South was a
prolific field for rascals to prey On the
ignorance of the newly emancipated
slaves. Jackson County, Florida, had
an immense colored population. and
here many swindlers found themselves
in clover. One scheme was worked
with especial success. Two aashily
dressed gentlemen driving hand
some turnout made ouse-to-house
canvass, representing to the negroes
that they were sent out by the Gov
ernment to zee if the titles to the
negroes properties were good. In
each case the title was found to be
bad, Of course, and the confding
negro was informed that it would be
made good on payment Of $25. The
poor negroes hustled around, sold
stock, household goods and even what
little clothing they had to raise the
money. When that was paid large
envelope with red seal was given,
with strict instructions not to open it
or talk to anyone, but to keep quiet
: until day named, two weeks from
that time, when he would meet She
Government agents at the county
seat, when his title would be made all
right.
On the day named over FIVE thou
sand negroes gathered in Mariana.
The day wore on, but the Government
agents came not. Finally, about night,
one Of them went to local lawyer and
had his envelope opened. Here was
what he found for title "Know all
men by these presents, that as Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilder
ness, so have we lifted $50 out Of this
fool" And then voice was heard
weeping in the land it was the negro,
and he refused to be comforted be-
cause his $25 was not.

BEATING THE INSANE.
Abuse at the Asylum That
Never Seems to Stop.
Representative Palenske of
Alma Here to See About It.
Case of Fritz Redemski to be Inves-
tigated-The Guilty Attendant
Should be Sent TO the
Penitentiary.

Representative L. Palenske of Alma
came to Topeka yesterday for the purpose
of investigating the report that Fritz
Redemsi was seriously beaten by the at
tendants at the insane asylum a couple
Of weeks ago.
Mr.. PaIenske is Redemskfs guardian,
the man having been sent from wabaun-
see county.
Mr.. Palenske will probably make things
interesting if he discovers that his ward
has been rougly treated. He has already
taken the matter up with Governor Leedy
and received assurances of the support
of the executive in the investigation he
proposes.
Soon after the report of the assault on
Redemsd appeared in the Journal Mr..
Palenske wrote to the governor, saying
in the course of his letter:
If that is the way it is proposed to
treat patients at the asylum. then, in my
opinion, you had better displace the Of
ficers, the board of charities and every
body connected with the institution and
get someone who can handle these un-
fortunate people without beating Them
Mr.. PaIenske said to a Journal reporter:
1.-The asylum is the place in which we
expect proper treatment of our unfortun
ate people. There is no reason nor JUS
tice in permitting attendants to beat pa
tients. These irresponsible attendants
assault a patient and the superintendent
or other officers are not informed of the
fact consequently they deny that any
such misconduct has occurred The Of
ficers do not know the facts. The unfor-
tunate souls who are confined in the asy-
lum have a right to receive the best pos
sfbIe treatment, whether or not it suits
the attendants to give it to them. These
attendants are paid for taking care of
these people and not for beating them
1t is shame and disgrace that such
things should be permitted in Kansas,
where the state charitable institutions are
the best in the United States.'
