a Small Boys Composition on ''The Cow.
There are many kinds of cows, sucl
4 as red cows, white cows, spotted cows
muley cows, towards and Moscows.
The muley cow is called muley be
cause it has no horns Sometimes peo
pie cut off the horns from horny cows
and make muleys out of them, but the cy
are not real muleys which are borr
without horns. Sometimes people cal
cows kline, which is the name for cows
in Germany. Little COWS are otter
called calls.
The cow is very gentle animal. II
would not hurt the smallest child un.
less it got mad. Boys are not afraid
of cows, but girls are, same as they are
afraid of mice and rats and snakes and
other harmless things. Girls are queer
animals, if | were not writing about
cows, l would like to write about girls.
| know lots about girls, more than l
do about cows.
The COW is one of the most useful of
all our domestic animals While they
are alive we get from them milk, from
which we make butter and cream.
Cheese is sometimes made from cream
and milk. When they are dead their
skin when taken off and made into
leather, gives us shoes and boats and
harnesses and footballs and many 9TH
er beautiful and useful things. From
their bones is made bonedust which
men put on the grass to make it grow,
which it does. The grass makes the
cows grow, which makes us more milk
and more shoes and more boots, and
more bonedust which makes more
grass and more cows and more milk
and more shoes and more boots and
more bonedust which makes more grass
and so on as long as you please So
we see what a useful animal the COW
is
The COW is not n beautiful animal,
but if we try we can all learn lesson
from her. If we all do as well as we
can wherever we may be, like she does
and do as well as her the things we
are made for we will all grow up to be
good men and women, and people will
be glad they know us.
The COW is not proud and does not
try to be a horse or a donkey. So
should all of us try to do.
Then let US heed this lesson and trv
to be as cowlike as we can. u.

The Republican State Convention
will probably not be held until com
paratiYely late in the summer. The
denomination of Gov. Bushnell and the
election of Senator Hanna are both as
sured, much to the chagrin of our Dem
ocratic brethren, and there is no reason
for an early convention to settle differ
ences.
This condition of affairs will be we'll
for many counties in the state where
committee action in naming delegates
has caused no little trouble. In this
county the convention to nominate
candidates for county offices can easily
be called early enough to choose dele
gates to the State convention and re-
move a prolific source of i'll feeling.
Except in extreme and unusual cases,
it is by far better for committees to
wash their hands of such matters and
submit them as far as possible to the
sentiment of the voters of the party.

Fatal Results of an Attempt to Ar

Birmingham, Ala, March 1.-Two
tragic deaths, a policeman shot and a
small race riot In which a dozen per-
some were more or less hurt, consti-
tutes net results of what occurred in
side Of thirty minutes on the South
side. A burglary was committed by
Will Hunter, a notorious negro. Po-
liceman William Perdue was detailed
on the case and found Hunter and ar
rested him. Hunter drew his pistol
and fired, striking Perdue i'm the jaw,
i~nfiicting a dangerous wound. The
negro made a breaq for liberty, the Of
ficer pursuing and firing as he ran. At
ter firing three shots the officer fell
from exhaustion; his last shot wound
ed Hunter fatally in the back. 1t de-
veloped afterward that II Of Per-
dues shots killed Myrtle Boland, a
f~ive-year-old girl, who was playing in
an alley two blocks away. When the
police finally took Hunter in charge a
mob of negroes followed, threatening
to rescue the wounded prisoner. A
number of white men o o appeared

ARMS FOR CUBANS.
Large Quantities Landed From
MISUNDERSTANDING Havana.

Large Quantities Landed From
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
New York, March II. - An Havana
special to the World says: Three large
expeditions from the United States are
said to have landed last week $4,000
rounds of ammunition, 1000 stands of
arms, six small rapid-fire guns, one
ten-inch gun, three tons of dynamite,
300 machetes and 1000 hand ~grenades.
The landing of the large amount OF
supplies has revived the rumors that
an attack is to be made upon Havana.
The palace officials have issued orders
for the immediate concentration of
more troops in the subprbs. The belief
that Spain is hard pushed is strength
ened by the order Of Gen. Weyler di-
recting the planters and the merchants
in the interior cities to hire guards to
protect their property. The insurgents
think the end of the war is approach
ing and appear to be sanguine. The
reason for their encouragement is APP
parently but slight. 1t is generally
thought that Gen. Weyler recognizes
that he cannot hold the interior il
troops are to be withdrawn from here
for the Philippines, and will gradually
surrender all but the fortified towns.
