Quaker Honesty.

In the CHRONICLES of a Kentuck Set
tlement"is given an instance of integri-
ty which deserves to be madehistorical.
It Is related of three brothers who were
importing merchants in North Carolina
before the war of the revolution. They
were Quakers, as were many of the
early colonists of that state. The story,
If true, goes to show that in this country
private honor is too often superior to
the public conscience. During the war
North Carolina. and we believe others Of
the colonies. passed an ordnance re-
quiring citizens owing money to sub
jects of Great Britain to pay the amount
into the treasury of the state, which
thereby assumed the position of debtor
to the foreign creditor. Harcourt
Brothers owed at the time large
amount for goods imported. and this
amount they paid rs soon as possibleto
the state treasurer. After the termina-
tion of the war and signing of the treaty
of peace. the English creditors, unable
to recover the amount due them from
the state, which had been hopelessly
bankrupted by the long and severe
struggle for independence, demanded
payment from the original debtors, as
they were allowed to do by the terms of
the treaty of peace. The Harcourts,
who were honorable merchants. paid
again in full. although in so doing they
were. in their old age, left comparative
ly poor.-Youth's Companion.

REMARKABLE CORN FIELD.
Former Bed OF Lake Produces 200
Bushels to the Acre.

Former Bed OF Lake Produces 200
Bushels to the Acre.
Prof. Thomas L. Cox. who recently
returned from Morrilton, says crops are
unusually good in that vicinity. and
prosperity is knocking at the door of
every citizen. He says there is one
cornfeld near Morrilton that will pro-
duce 200 bushels to the acre. This.
says the Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat.
is a remarkable statement, and yet he
declares that it is true. Until year
or so ago there was lake near Morrill,
ton covering about 10000 acres. When
the big floods came two years ago, an
opening was made by the surging wa
ters which carried off all the water of
this lake when the floods subsided. The
bed of the lake dried up and left the
richest soil the world ever saw. 1t is
ten feet deep, and nothing the River
Nile ever produced could excel it. This
year Mills and HALEY have crop of
corn on about 1000 acres of this land.
They sowed the corn broadcast like
wheat. and the stalks are as strong as
saplings. and scores of Shoots" are
also loaded down. ut is the most re-
markable corn crop ever produced in
the world" declared Prof. Cox. and. to
he ended it by declaring that a coon"
was caught between the stalks, and, be-
ing unable to extricate itself because
they were SO thick. was killed by those
who came upon it.

Obituary..

Louisa Manning, daughter Of Daniel
and Mary Manning, was born April 80,
1870, and died Oct. Z, 1897, aged 81
years, 5 months and days.
Louisa had naturally very kind and
amiable disposition. Among her asso.
ciates she made no enemies, but host
of warm friends, whose hearts are filled
with grief. But, are happy to know
that she is now free from pain and sor.
row. Although great sufferer, she
endured all pain with untiring patience.
About year after uniting herself with
the family OF Jonathan Cowgirl, she be-
came member of the Friends Church,
at Fall Creek, having obtained her
letter from the Christian Church. At
an early age she opened her young heart
to the blessed Christ, who has been an
abiding guest and whose rod and staff
comforted in the valley of death,
Her Christian life has been a consist
ent one, and those who knew her best
have no doubt of her being a genial
child of God In her home life she was
faithful, kind and affectionate, always
aboundine in works of good. In church
she was an earnest worker, also in the
Sabbath school, she was faithful and
devoted Bible student. She marked and
and often, during her sickness had read
her particular passages of scripture.
By her quiet, kind and pleasant man
ner she won the love of all. "The Lord
gave and the Lord has taken away
blessed be the name OF the Lord"
| Endless happiness 10 surely thine,
With the angels thou dost shine.
| In the mansions Of the blessed
Securely thou dost rest
In this world thou hast woe
| None can escape it here below.
But, now, from pain and sorrow free,
The face Of Jesus thou dost see.
| And now with the angelic throng
You are singing the sweet song
OF Him who died ON Calvary,
From every sin and sorrow free.
Friends, may 1t be our happy case.
In heaven with saints to find place.
No parting there with friends we'll have,
No weeping DER loved ones grave.

A French Physician Says Rural PeO-
pie Suffer Most from Cancer.
A medical student, before he can
begin active service in France, must
write treatise on some medical SUBJ
ject which will be approved by the gov
ernment experts, says the Kansas City
Journal, DR.. Noel. who recently OBJ
tained his diploma. wrote treatise on
cancer, which has attracted the atten-
ton of scientists. According to his
opinion cancer is due to vegetable
germs, which infect the human sys-
tenn, either through manual contact or
through absorption or inhalation of
the poison with water or food. Ac-
cording to statistics cancer prevails
more in districts surrounded by for
ests and along the banks of rivers than
in places where vegetation is scarce,
DR.. Noel began q careful investigation
around his home at Lyons. Birch, elm
and willow trees predominated. He
tested the sap from thousands of these
trees and in a score of specimens found
cancerous germs. A dog. inoculated
with these, in few days showed every
symptom of cancer. DR.. Noel states
that the percentage of deaths from
cancer is much greater among persons
whose business it is to handle wood
and vegetation than those employed in
trades where wood Is not used.

dered in the summer by the wet moss
which grows knee deep. and by the
insect pests; in the winter it is made
impossible by the intense cold. In view
OF all these difficulties. the peculiar re-
lation of the Yukon river to the coast
is such that one might fancy nature
had arranged it especially for high.
way through this inaccessible interior,
in partial compensation to man for the
obstacles she has put in his way.
The headquarters of the network OF
streams that ultimately drain into the
Yukon river fortunately lie within 30
miles of the sea. just Oh the northern or
inland side of a range of mountalns
which runs along the southern coast OF
Alaska. From this point the river flows
north away from the sea, far toward
the Arctic ocean; then, suddenly
changing its mind, turns west; and
finally, after traversing the whole width
of Alaska. arrives at the Behring sea,
it's entire course being considerably
over 1000 miles. For considerable
distance it is broad and deep stream
so that one may go quite through the
center of Alaska, from sea to sea, by
| crossing only 30 miles or so of land.

Frank never spoke evil of any one. He
loved his friends, and his little family

Capt. George Andrews, of the -
s. Infantry, inspecting officer Of u. !.
Ohio National Guard, has filed his an.
nual report with the war department
and it makes very interesting showing.
Among other things he says the author.
lied strength of the guard is s,4S6 The
present strength is 6,O57, of which n
are calvary, 524 artillery, 5,124 infantry,
and 205 in special corps. The percent.
age of members attending camp during
the year is 927. The latest estimate of
the number OF citizens liable to military
duty is 645, 900 After detailing the or
ganizatioDs of the guard and the location
of regiments and companies Capt. An.
drews continues
Active service in aid of civil authori.
thorities during the year was performed
by Co. d Third infantry, at Urbana,
June 2 to 4, and by Co. M Fifth infantry
of Fairport, August to 8.
The Springfield rifles with which the
infantry is armed are generally old and
out of date. And many of the guns of
earlier models are by reason of the de.
fective parts and long use untitled for
either real service or target practice.
Some are much battered and several
stocks have been broke and patched up.
However 1000 new Springfield rifles
have been received by the State and are
now being issued by to replace old ones.
Concerning the uniform clothing of
the guard, Capt. Andrews says its con.
dition has been much improved during
the past year, and that the officers
invariably reported uniforms to be
satisfactory in quality and quantity.
-Four thousand standard army blankete
have been obtained to replace the light
weight blankets formerly in the hand of
the guard. OF overcoats there is still q
deficiency.
The personal of the guard is in a gen.
eral sense, excellent, A stricter physical
examination of recruits would be bene.
ficial in view OF the difficult and delicate
duties which the National Guard is 80
frequently called upon to perform.
The moral effect of we'll grown, stal.
wart men should be seriously considered.
Discipline has improved somewhat du.
ring the year. Courtesiesi between off.
GERS and men are very generally OBJ

''some system should be devised for per.
mitting substitutes going to camp instead

Generally speaking guard duty is not

very quickly, however, to instructions in
this duty, and when on post were
anxious to receive it, however Indifferent
at other times.
Captain Andrews recommends that
the infantry be particularly instructed
in the irings, extended order, and
guard duty, that the artillery construct
frames and be taught the principles of
saddling, bridling, Harvesting and the
use of coupling rein, and that the army
inspectors this winter be directed mainly
to securing proficiency in these points.

New York, March 4.-The Sun says Of
cotton: 1.-The speculation to-day was mod
erately active, but there was more dispo-
sition to sell than to buy and prices de-
clined. The news was. in the main, of a
bullish nature. Liverpool was higher, the
receipts at the ports were light, the ex-
ports were fairly large, the spot markets
in this country were generally steady and
the Mississippi is still rising. But weak
longs sold out and prices receded. Some
stop-loss orders were reached, which ac-
CELEBRATED the decline There was some
buying at the decline for outside and
southern account, but the demand was
small and prices closed at about the low
est figures of the day. 1t is believed by
some that with more favorable weather
the receipts will increase materially"
