reins. lie was dragged probably 100
yards, and DIR. Dickinson, who was
passing thought no would lie killed.
The doctor ran TO his nssiatance. Ha
picked Mr.. Haines up and found that,
although he was badly injured about
the right side and head, his injuren
were not serious. AS soon as be
realized that Mr.. Hnlnes was not
dangerously hurt he ran after the horse
aud caught it. but not until the wagon
| had bnen wrecked and the harness
badly damaged.
The horse was badly cut, but also
escaped serious injury.
Dr. Dickinson returned tho horse to
where Mr.. liuinss was and attended to
Mr.. Haines aud the horse, aftor which
carriage was borrowed aud Mr.
Haines was taken to bis home.

same time working the deadfurrows
well with the pillow to avoid shallow
ness of soil for the roots. This method
throws the surplus rain to the roots of
the plants. where it is most needed
1 have raised by this method eight to
ten wagon loads of Hubbard squashes
per half acre.
All crops on dry farms should be
planted deep, for the reason that a
root will always be maintained at the
depth the seed is planted, and 1T
stands to reason that as long as this
root is below the draught line, the life
of the plant is assured. Therefore,
the deeper the better, and in case of
light showers, penetrating only an
inch or more, surface roots will be
developed almost as soon as the need
of them is apparent.
A mistake common with beginners
is to start dry farming with too small
team. 1t is better to break quarter
of an acre day nine inches or foot
deep than five acres day four or i've
inches deep. Land once broken shall
low, is nearly always shallow. and
depth can always be obtained by the
ordinary pillow with a good team by
blowing twice in the same furrow or
by plowng once and over again, work
ing back from thd deadfurrow. 1t is
impossible to pillow too deep in the
right kind of soil, and if you have the
horses and a subsoiler, so much the
better. After the first deep blowing
the subsequent plowings are as easy
and as quick as the scratching we see
around US every day.
When we come to consider that the
dry farmer has no bitches toclean out
in the best part of the planting season,
no water right to fuss about, no stay
ing up at night to irrigate, no washed
out dams to reconstruct, no drying up
of public bitches to destroy his crops,
and no typhoid and rheumatism to
fight, we begin to think that dry
farming is pretty good thing after
all And when we raise plenty OF feed,
good crops and the finest kind of fruit
in year like 1896 without any irri-
CATION whatever, / see no reason why
we may not look confidently forward
to the time when the agricultural de-
velopment of our beautiful state will
be limited only by her border lines.
Mr.. EDIToR.-I was reading in the
paper the other day of young man
by the name of Gould buying his girl
Miss Clemmons fan that cost him
800, 900. 1 thought of an old saying
something and his money was soon
parted" And as l sat thinking took
nv pencil and commenced to figure. L
found t would take 200, 900 bushels OF
corn to pay for it, or if he worked on
the section at S1-15 day he would be
PIT years and 255 days paying for it, or
if he was a coal miner he would have to
dig 142' S75 tons, if he husked corn he
would have to pick 100000 bushels
Then if he had spent it for candy he
could have bought her $685. pounds
or over % car loads, or 1000, 900 dishes
of ice cream, or 1000, 900 glasses Of
lemonade And then again thought
if she had had to earn the money by
sewing she would have had to make D,
600. 900 pair of overalls, or if she work
ed by the week it would take her 9ol
wears. l think the young man had
better save his money to buy dishes

number of days is concerned. On this
point Senator Morgan could not criticize
the House without also criticizing the
Senate. But it has been the usual custom
IN adjourning over for more than one
0ay, to vote on it each time Instead of
this the House, for convenience, adopted
a standing rule that there should be meet
lngs of the House only on Mondays and
thursdays. So on Monday, when the
SIMPLE motion to adjourn is carried, the
adjournment under the order must be
until Thursday. And on Thursday until
Monday. The absence of quorum does
not Interfere with this, since quorum is
not required for the simple motion to
| adjourn, although it is required for a
resolution to adj ourn over for more than
one day where there is no standing order
such as exists now. Mr.. Morgan's point
is that the adjournments over may not be
taken in pursuance of such standing or
der, but that a resolution for adjourning
over must be passed by the House each
time it is done. AS quorum is required
for adjourning over by such resolution,
the House could not adjourn over when
quorum is not present But to adjourn
over under the standing order quorum
is not necessary. Mr.. Morgan bases his
argument on the understanding of the
word House" as used in the Constitu-
ton. He says that this word means a
house with quorum present, and that it
is not merely descriptive term applying
to the institution. Therefore he argues
ment for three days when quorum was
not present, the House was not House,
Congress is bursted up, the tariff bill
when it is passed will not be legal, ETC.
Mr.. Hale, who is as clear headed a
parlianentarian as there is in the Senate,
put in a few questions which showed up
the hair-splitting processes of this reason
ing, but of course it had no effect in
| pacifying the Alabama Senator, or in
shortening his speech. Nothing can
shorten those speeches, or diminish their
| frequency.
One point was laughable. Mr.. Morgan
made the point that it was dangerous for
| the government to have the House in
session only twice a week. A war or
other calamity might break out requiring
prompt action on the part of both houses.
But the House can always by mot ion
make its adjournment to the next day or
the second day, since the standing order
was Sc worded as to keep the matter in
control of the House at all times. More
over, in case of national emergency the
House could deliberate and act before Mr..
Morgan had finished one of his speeches
in the Senate. We have now national
distress, if not emergency, which requires
prompt action on the tariff bill. And Mr..
Morgan gives notice that the bill shall
proceed only SO fast as he wishes. And
this is the man who is taking hours of
precious time to worry, verbally, lest the
Constitution be smashed by the House
and the Speaker.

the lawns--oaks, lindens, sycamores
locusts, and walnuts-are of the last half
century growths but several of them
were planted by Jefferson himself.
Among these are two stately lindens,
trees of remarkable slow growth.
An eastern senator, aware Of this fact
in arboriculture, questioned statement
made that these lindens were planted by
Jefferson himself.
, ssThat cannot be- said this theorist of
the Senate in tone intended to carry
conviction to all his listeners, 1T is very
evident that these trees are older than
that They must have been here before
Monticello was built"
''That may be, said Senator Turner,
looking young senator from the far-off
state Of Washington, who is eminently
practical in everything, "but, if it be
true, as they tell us that Jefferson leveled
off the top of this mountain and cleared
it of all its timber before he built, it
seems equally evident to me that what
trees are here must have been planted
since, and may therefore have been plant
ed by jefferson. -
Several interesting old negroes, who
had lived all their lives on the estate, and
expect to die there, were met by the vlsl-
tors in their wanderings about the
grounds. One of these, who used big
words indiscriminately was source OF
great amusement to Senators Deboe and
Nelson, both of whom appeared to have
wonderful talent in what is commonly
known as 'stringing" the unsophlstlcat-
ed.
You remember, of course, asked
Senator Nelson, when Bona parte-Napo
leon Bonaparte-came hereY"
The old darby looked puzzled for a
minute, but finally replied
Oh, yaas, sab! yaas, sab! I members
dat, sahl''
When the laughter which greeted the
now antonished darkey subsidized, Senator
Deboe took hand in the ''stringing."
Tell me, uncle,'' he said, twas it
true, what have heard, that Bonaparte
rode his horse right up through that
clnmp of lilac bushes?''
But the old fellow was not going to
commit himself SO definitely after having
been laughed at once.
"Well, sahl'' he began, hesitatingly;
mot zactly right froo dem lilacs, sab,
but sumwhah in dat ar neighborhood,

Another hearty peal of laughter from
senatorial threats brought this reproach
from the old man: You is havin' fun
VIII Gle old man; suah you is
But still he fingered about the party
and was finally induced to stand at the
head Of the little table where they sat eat
ing cake and cream, while Arthur Kenna,
the Senate page, took a couple, OF snap
shots at the party with his kodak.
Has he got me now, sah?' he asked.
'sSuah I'd like to see how dis heah mig

Young Kenna said he would send him a
picture and asked his name.

SENATOR MoRGAN's oUIBBL1NG.

The hopes of those who are anxious for
early action on the tariff bill We're shaken
a good deal on Saturday by the action of
Senator Morgan of Alabama, who
interjected in his speech an
attack upon the House of Repre-
sentatives and also took occasion to notify
his colleagues that while he should not
interpose his lordly will against the ulti-
mate passage of the bill, yet he proposed
to delay it while. So the country may
know that progress can be made on the
tariff bill if Senator Morgan says so, but
that there will be delay if he takes it into
his head to make delay.
The point which Senator Morgan made
against the action of the House has been
made in the House, and was thoroughly
considered by the House leaders before
they proposed the order for sessions
"Neither House, during the session of
Congress, shall, without the consent of
the other, adjourn for more than three
days, nor to any other place than that in
which the two Houses shall be sitting. -
In reckoning the three days Sunday does
not count. Such has been the construction
of both House and Senate. 1t has been
the custom Of both bodies to adjourn from
Thursday until Monday if the convenience
of either demanded it,. So there is no OBJ
lection to the meeting of the House only
on Mondays and Thursdays so far as the
