POWERFUL ARGuMENTs.
They Won the Joint Debate for
Captain johnson.

OaDLa1n JOn0SOn.
One of the best Of the early-day Mis-
souri, stories recently set ahoat is that
attributed to General Solicitor Parker
of the Frisco road--a rare artist as d
raconteur, by the way--in which ne re-
lates how Captain Jefferson Johnson
run for the Legislature way back
before the war. Captain Johnson was
one of the representative citizens of
Maries County, Missouri, a. man of
wealth and influence, but little learn
ing. He decided that he would like to
go TO the Legislature. There was no
Republican party in Maries County
then, and usually a number of Demo-
Gratis ran against each other independ-
emily In this canvass Captain John
son was opposed by a man named Gra-
ham, who had recently come from
Pennsylvania. Graham was a school
master and man of unusual learning
for those times. He was also a ready
and fercible taI1er, and entered the race
against Captain Johnson, whose educa-
ton did not extend much beyond his
ability to write his name, with conf
dence of an easy victory. The cam
paign was scarcely under way before
Graham proposed a, joint debate. When
this proposition was carried to Cap
tain Johnson he hesitated. Captain
johnson was not exactly certain in his
own mind just what a debate was,
but his friends assured him that he
could not well decline his opponents
offer. "All right" said Johnson, in his
easy, good-natured way. 'I don't know
much about debatin', but if t'other fell
Ter kin do it, I reckon I kin, too" So
the debate was arranged. 1T was to
open at a big barbecue and picnic at
Lige Jones', on the edge of Lanes
prairie. The day arrived and with it
about half the population of the coun-
ty. Graham went to Captain Johnson
and intimated that he would like to
open and close the debate. Johnson
assented.
You are welcome to take furst whirl
at me-, he said. q guess can make
out with what's left
It was agreed that Graham was to
have an hour to open and half an hour
to rejoin, while Johnson was to speak
for an hour and half without inter
mission. Tho people assembled about
the stand to hear the flow of oratory.
Graham made a splendid speech-full
of good arguments and humor When
his time was UP he sat down feeling
that he was already elected. Then
Captain Johnson rose.
Il don't know 'zactly what I'm ex-
pected to dO,' he said, but as Mr.. Gra-
ham has made you a speech-am a
mighty fine one-I guess III do some
thin else. So I've made up my mind
ter let him do the speal1in' in this here
debate an I'll do the treatin'. If you
fellers II jest go over thar behind that
clump of bushes you'll find my wagon,
and in it you'll find a keg of as fine
apple brandy as you ever tasted. Take
the tin cup off the hook an help your
selves"
And Johnson sat down. The voters
drank and ate at his expense for the
hour and a half he was supposed to
have spoken, and when the time came
for Graham's rejoinder 1t was discov-
cred that he had left the grounds. It
is almost unnecessary to add that Cap
tain Johnson was elected by an enor-
nous majority.-Kansas City Journal.

Violets.

o, flower divine, sweet Violets,
AS | pluck you from your dewy beds,
The dew, like sparkling diamonds, sets
A crown OF glory around your heads.
o. lovely flower you charm me so!
You are so modest, yet so fair!
Please tell me your source, that 1 may go
And find such beauty as you now wear.
Like the tinkling Of a silver bell,
now hear voice which thus replies:
ITO you the secret L now will tell
We are but God s love in sweet disguise,
From the garden of immortal bloom,
He sends US as bright winning wileS;
He breathes, and 10. there is sweet per-
fume;
For all blossoms are His loving smiles.
o. child of earth do but look around!
Through Natures works, He speaks to
In every leaf and flower is found
An object lesson, profound and true.
On the mountains grand, or in leafy
glade.
In the baPbling brook, or the ocean roar;
In meadow lands. or the forest shade,
Or the eagle which does proudly soar.
Then, but look again, and you will find
That flowers bloom but for mankind;
And the birds that sing on yonder tree,
Pour forth their song for you and me.
And the zephyrs which now fan your
Waiting Sweet odors, so softly speak!
Say Handnaiden of the Lord. awake!
Beautiful garments with love now make!
They will rest as light as pure swans
down:
And pearls you may have to deck your
cTOWH.
The beauty of which you so desire
You may attain by rising higher
In bright realms of thought, which are
divine.
Mankind you will help then to refine.
Rich gems now in your pathway lie,
The luster of which can never die;
And the radiant sun for you will shine
And light your way to the heavenly mine" "
Now, the musical chimes of silvery bells,
Like a choir of angels, through space now
swells;
And I stand entranced when over me roll
Great floods of sunshine which battle my
soul;
While the fragrance of those Violets fair
Like heavenly incense, fills the air.
I breathe a prayer on the whispering
That my heart may be filed with love
like these,
And record a VOW in the love-lit air
That III ne'er cease to pray till He an
swers my prayer.

NOTES.

Guinea hens are among the most pro-
life of layers, but not so well adapted
to the use of those who have small
range.
Where turkeys are kept growing con-
stantly, as they should be, a very little
extra feeding will fix them for market.
Select all the nice eggs for sittings,
don't use small or ill-shaped eggs, they
rarely hatch and never give satisfac-
ton.
When chicks do well under your sys-
tenn of feeding, do not bother yourself
about other systems.
When the fowls are restless and con-
stantly picking their feathers, they are
infested with vermin.

GAPES IN CHICKS.

A very simple method for curing the
gapes in chicks, and one that is success
full in the hands of some persons, is to
pinch the windpipe. With the left hand
hold the head of the bird up and the
neck straight, and with the thumb and
finger of the right hand pinch the wind
pipe smartly, rolling it. Begin as low
down as possible and follow it upward
to the mouth. Be careful to release
it frequently to give the bird a chance
to cough up the parasites.-Farm

A fortnight later another patient of

sponsible for the trouble, and again,
as in the first instance, the sufferer
was the only one affected of the family
who had partaken Of the meat at the
same meal. In each case l found
that the tendency to distress from the
particular food was known to each suf-
ferel', although never before had the
symptoms been so marked or distress

A flower stall is one of the most
decorative of all booths for a bazaar.
The stand should be covered with a
framework of rustic wood in the form
of light arches. Woodbine, bittersweet
and clemats should be trained over
this, and in each of the arches a hang
ing basket, filed with ferns, should be
suspended. Fruit may be so effective
ly arranged with the foliage that this
seems the best place to sell it. Grapes
and their leaves, rosy apples, peaches
and pears will be very attractive, and

FOR HENS, NEST.

The refuse tobacco sweepings from
cigar or Tobacco factories is an excel
lent article to use in the nests. The
setting hens which are compelled to
remain on the nests for three weeks
provide inviting places for the breeding
of lice, but by the free use of tobacco
this may be prevented. A decoction of
tobacco is also excellent for use in
sprinkling over the interior of the poul-
try-houses and a thorough dusting
with very fine tobacco is nearly equal to
insect powder in effect.-Field and

THE POULTRY YARD.
Some Suggestions in Regard to
Fowls.

Diseases may exist in a flock for
months only to be developed under con-
ditions favorable for their spread, or
disease may appear suddenly, due TO
some cause which the farmer may not
know. In this connection is a letter
from a reader at Putnam, VT, to Mir
ror and Farmer" which is given below
| in order that the matter may be called
to the attention of others:
[ have lost several hens lately, with
some ailment which battles all treat
ment and remedies known to me. l
have kept fowls a number of years, but
never saw anything like it before. The
| first thing l notice is that they refuse
food, sit around quietly and the drop
pings are thin, dark green, the por-
tionS which should be white being yell
low, Exc the yolk of boiled egg. They
live, some of them two weeks, and all
the time have some food in the crops,
but gradually it decreases. Some of
them breathe hard, and seem to dislike
| to swallow. My feed is dough made
from corn meal and wheat bran mixed
with water, in the morning, alternating
with whole wheat, oats and buckwheat,
with whole corn at night, always given
/
me in your next issue, if you can, the
name of the disease and the remedy, if
there is one.
1t is rarely that roup appears in sum-
mer among healthy fowls, but the fowls
have been thrown out of condition
perhaps made very fat-by overfeeding
with grain during warm weather Such
could not be determined without an ex-
animation When grain is fed too
heavily it seems to affect the breathing
! If the fowls are fat, due to indigestion,
heart disease, ETC., but the symptoms
| described may also be caused by the
large lice which exist on the skin of
| the heads and under the throatS as
they prevent sleep and rest, leading to
exhaustion The best remedy is to
anoint the fowls on the heads and necks
with olive oil or melted lard, using only
a, small quantity, twice a week, and
change the food, allowing but one meal
a day, at night, which should consist
of lean meat. This diet should con-
tinue Tor about two weeks. After that
grain should be used for at least a
month. For two or three days a tea
spoonful of tincture of nux vomica may
be added to every gallon of the drink
ing water. The males should be re-
moved from the hens and the poultry
house cleaned thoroughly in order to
get rid of the mites. The hens will
| thrive best on a. range.

celery is an appetizing relish as a
