SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR. @@@-4e+<sTz1.s- And Thia Cape CoddeF Captain Got First
 PrixS In a Special Glass.

When I WAS down on Cape Cod, heard an amusing story about an old sea captain and his COW. Captain Pat kersoii after sailing the sea for more than 40 years. finally retired to a little farm hear Barnstaple, where he settled down, with horse, COW and two or three dozen hens His COW, though lank and rather stubborn creature, was said to come from very good stock, and when the Barnstaple people took it into their heads to have fair Captain Pat terson determined to exhibit his COW.
 But when the day came for driving her to the grounds the COW showed that she had mind of her own and would not budge step heyond the farmyard gate. In vain the old captain tugged at the rope, pummeled her sides and push ed her Hanks. The COW wanted to go to pasture and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair.
 Captain Patterson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him. Though he was not strong enough himself to force the COW to go to the fair his training sug gested something that was. Tying the COW to the gatepost, he went up into the loft of his barn and threw down an old sail stepped to Q dory mast. Then he put horse's blanket belt through an iron ring, strapped the belt around the COW, inserted the end of the mast in the ring and bound the mast to the side of the COW with some 90 feet of rope.
 The wind blew fquartering, and when the captain united the COW and raised the sail the canvas swelled out over the cows back, and away she went siding" down the road, mooing and plunging and trying to stop herself in vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail, and using it as a rudder guided her skillfully in the right direction. With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate COW would be hurried along faster, while the dust blew up in clouds and the sail Tapped and rugged as Captain Patterson hela te the mainsheet with one hand and the eow's tail with the other
 It was hard voyage for both of them, but not long one, and when they came in sight of the fair ground everybody ran out to see the remarkable sight of COW being sailed through the streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter filled the air, and when the captain finally whirled his COW around at the gate of the fair ground and brought her neatly up into the wind" the shout that arose might have been heard two miles away.
 Unfortunately Captain Patterson $ COW did not take one of tho prizes for blooded stock, but the captain himself was given special prize by the fair commissioners for the best advice for getting balky cattle to market. ''-Out- look.

THE cotton crop this year is estl- mated at 9,500, 900 bales, and may be as large as in 1894, when the product was g, 1892, 900 bales. Not withstanding the large yield this year the great activities in all lines of trade will furnish a market for the entire output, and the present indications are that cotton will bring good price. This seems to be farmers year, and when the farmer fourishes all classes of in- dustry prosper.

Hood's Pills cure sick headache. 25c

tbority of Europe, declares that Great Britain alone will need l60, 000, ,000, of our wheat This, then, according to the figures here pre- senled, will leaye only 5000, 900 bushels for export to al other parts of the world. But Australia and India are looking longingly toward this blessed land for portion of their bread supply this year, and each will want many million bushels of our golden grain. The crop of Hungary is 25 to 30 per cent short of last years yield, and France also has shortage. Drought and other causes which patient an industrious husbandry could not overcome made almost barren the great wheat belts of Russia and South America. Suffering Europe, famished India and impoverished Australia cannot, therefore, expect relief from these two former sources of supply. The vast empire of China raises no wheat to speak of, and the enterpising Japanese do not yet produce enough for home consumption.
 Literally, then, it seems quite likely that the entire world will want a part of our surplus wheat crop, which is oaly litt.e larger than Great Britain needs. This is the sort of competition that sends prices upward. From this point of view it is not visionary to contem- plate realization of the farmers dream of "dollar wheat. '
 Corn, too, and rye will feel more or less the stimulating effect. Spec ulation in these cereals has not started yet with the same vigor that characterizes the wheat market but it is likely to set in soon. Man. kind must have bread. If it can't get wheat bread It will require more of the coarser qualities of rye and corn bread. The American farmer can, therefore, reasonably expect good prices in the entire list ol breadstuffs. Altogether the out look is brighter for him than it has been in decade or more Republic

President Cleveland damned the Will
son bill, the tariff deliverance Of his
own party, as an iniquitious measure,
but he had not the courage to veto it
and so allowed 1t to become a law
without his signature, bearing the
brand of his contempt. President Nc
Kinley is otherwise minded to the tar
if bill Of his party. Keeping in touch
with it's promoters all along the way
Of its discussion and amendment he
puts his signature to it within few
moments of its passage and it became
a law, actually before the ink upon
the signature was dry. President Nc
Kinley Is not ashamed to share with
his party whatever responsibility at
'taches to the acts Of the party that are
within the length of its cable tow.

1t is idle to talk of any back down

treaty has been drafted and signed by
both countries; the committee on for

JAPAN AN INTERMEDIATES.

The attempt of Japan to interfere in
the annexation of Hawaii is investing
that movement with an interest that
IL does not of itself possess. When 1t
comes to the interference of the semi
civilized races of Eastern Asia in the
affairs of this continent, then it is in
order for the Anglo-Saxons on the
American continent to close their
ranks and meet the invasion that
threatens them. This movement upon
Hawaii is only the advance movement
of Japan upon the United States it
self. The intention is to occupy those
islands, either by colonizing them with
Japs and so controlling the govern
ment Of the islands, or by taking fore
ible possession and making them an
integral part of the Japanese kingdom.
Either method would answer their pur-
pose For by either they could ex-
clude United States vessels and de-
stroy United States trade across the
Pacific to a large extent, making it
pay tribute in any event to Japanese
occupation of Hawaii. The American
people will have to take this matter in
hand vigorously. Japan is preparing
to virtually seize the islands, by send
ing soldiers in the guise of immigrants
and backing their coming with a fleet.
The orders that have been issued to
the American admiral in Hawaiian
waters may interfere with this at
tempt, for he will run up the United
States flag at the first attempt of the
Japs to force themselves upon the is
try are to a man loyal to the traditions
of the old flag and will suffer no dis
respect. The selection of an officer for
the command of the war ships that
will be within reaching distance of
Hawaii has been made with reference
alike to his Americanism and his cour-
age and backbone. There is no doubt
much that is purely sensational in what
is reported as being undertaken by
Japan, but there is no doubt that there
is trouble intended by Japan, and only
the firmest attitude on the part of the
United States will prevent it. There is
an American at the head of the gov
eminent. His patriotism cannot be
questioned. The treaty of annexation
as signed and recommended to Con-
gress by the unanimous vote of the
committee on foreign relations, puts
the matter in shape that will not adj
NIT of any crawfishing on the part of
the United States. Japan is trying in
France and in Germany and in Great
Britain to induce a European protest
against the contamination of the an
nexation treaty. Such protest will not
be made. If Japan is offensive beyond
what is tolerated she will find anoth-
er American war fleet at her gates as
she did forty years ago. America is
more able to whip Japan out of her
petticoats today than she was when
Perry compelled her to open her gates
TO American trade Xxx. .
