took in the combat from start TO finish
Just as i'm the case of Corbett and Fitz-

trivial and il is now admitted that it was
a case of mistaken identity.
At about o'clock p. m. the principals,
with their seconds and surgeons, arrived.

THE YANEEn CIDER PEDDLER.

THE YANKEE CIDER PEDDLER.
When Autumn wore her russell gown,
with gold and crimson border.
When singin' schools were each in town
And huskin bees in order.
Pears grew ripe. the plUms turned blue
or ruddy on their edges,
CIover-heads were tinged brown too,
And nuts lay thick in hedges.
Then sounding here, there,
Lverywhere, came
cider, Cider!
Cider"
When front had stung each twisted vine
And turned its grapes far sweeter,
Apples grew red. in rosy line,
No maiden Ger blushed heater!
Nights had changed and were quite Ions
When tart as unripe medlar,
Came the voice, in sharp, shril song,
OF the queer old Cider peddler.
With his cider there.
Cider, cider!
Cider"
The peddler had q merry eye.
His cheek was like a Baldwin;
His brow could with the Russell vie.
They called him old Josh Baldwin"
His hand was hard as apple root
His heart fresh as a Pippin.
His voice grew mellow as ripe fruit.
From cider he kept sippin'-
And called Cider,
Twenty a gallon
Cider"
When this old peddler went his way,
With barrel. horse and wagon.
He heard what each one had 10 say,
And news he found TO brag on.
Through each street of every town
He spread New England's glory.
BY shouting loudly up and down
The same old rhythmic story
OF Cider Cider
Cider there! Cider!
Cider"
To sirgiu' school he always came
And listened under cover.
For singin' schools We're just the same
AS when ne was q lover.
He never passed a huskin' bee.
Nor lost sight of the kissin,
The red ear found-the maid TO see
Was JOY he'd not be missin'.
Then his cry was Sweet
Cider, Cider there!
Ci-der."
He wakd the sick. the cross. the old
Complaint gave him no worry:
He felt 10 tire nor ache. nor cold
And knew not time nor hurry.
All through the chill Autumnal night
The old man kept on singing
Then may he live!-this doughty wight
And keep the same tune ringing:
Cider, cider there!
cider there! Cider,
Glider"
-E,vira Floyd Froemcke, in American
Cider and Vinegar Maker.

other lunging with wonderful force and
parrying with equal skill until the point
OF Pinrs weapon reached the guard of
Thomeguex's, and for the second time,
the formers weapon was bent.
After a little time it was repaired and
the eighth bout was begun with furious
attacks on the par OF ThomegueX. PM
gave ground, watching for a riposte,
Apparently his chance presented itself,
and he sent in terrific thrust at Thome-
gueX's breast. Some of the spectators
shuddered and many Of them thought
that the man had been run through or at
least badly wounded; but a parry, that is
described as something marvellous by
the experts who saw II, saved him, and
when the seconds and surgeons rushed in
they found him unhurt and smiling.
In the ninth bout NJ. ThomegueX was
wounded in the right cheek. He declared
that it was merely a scratch, and insisted
upon going on; bur the surgeons insisted
that the internal hemorrhage interfered
with his breathing TO such a degree that
he was in Il condition Of inferiority. NJ
Breittmayer then stopped the combat.
The Chevauer PM advanced toward NJ
Thomeguex and offered him his hand. The
latter grasped it. mutered some compll-
mentary remarks. and the two men left
the dueling ground fast friends.

KEEP MORE SHEEP.
Many Reasons Why Every Farmer
Should Have a Flock.

many NeABOum why MVeFy FuEmeE
Should Have n Flock.
There are a number of reasons why
sheep should be kept on every farm,
whatever the price may be for wool or
mutton, says a writer in the Rural Ca
madam. Sheep should be kept in time
Of low prices because thelow prices will
not always exist, but are likely at any
time to take an upward trend. When
that time comes the people will be found
clamoring for mutton, which they
learned to eat in q time of low prices.
When the rise comes the number of
sheep being marketed will suddenly
fall off, as will also the number to be
had for breeders. You will then be
glad that you kept enough Of the old
flock to provide for the expansion Of the
new flock
Sheep should be kept because there
are many wild grasses on nearly every
farm that will be eaten to the best ad-
vantage by sheep. They have no butter
or milk to be tainted and rejected by
the market for that reason. A lot of
sheep running in the cow pasture might
reduce the weeds to such an extent that
much of the bad effect on the butter
would be avoided.
Sheep cannot be dispensed with for
the reason that they provide meat in
small parcels, each one of which may
be disposed Of before 1t suffers from the
effects of decay. Every farmer can thus
provide himself constant supply of
meat that can be equaled only by his
poultry. The two make an agreeable
addition TO the larder.
Sheep should be kept In large quanti-
ties for the public good. Ifthe present
rate of depletion be allowed to go on,
there will come time when we must
import a considerable amount Of our
mutton, and the money thus going out
annually will tend, by so much, to keep
the balance of the trade against u.s.

plus growth must be scrupulously kept
down, as everything that grows is con-
stantiy drawing moisture from the soil.
II we can get the upper and lower mois-

Many farmers, when their fences have
gone down, buildings need repairing,
and everything onvthe place looks like
a wreck, become, disgusted and offer
their farms for sale. OF course, such a
place is not attractive, and If it finds a
buyer will be sold at discount A few
dollars expended for paint, whltewash,

Horses Holding Thelr own.

An observing gentleman from the
west says he believes the market for
horses is rapidly improving. He says
people got the idea that electricity and
the bicycle were going to render the
demand for horses less than they have.
In some parts of the west horses are
DOW becoming scarce because they have
been disposed of ct an astonishing rate.
Electricity has about run its length as
a displacer of horses and the bicycle is
covering It's own field pretty thorough
ly. What the horseless wagon will do
in the future is problem, but until
highways are materially improved, it
cannot come into general use.

pronnectr Are Promising

The opinion seems to be general
among sheepmen that prospects are
better this year than they have been
any time since 1892. A better demand
for both wool and mutton is anticipated,
but, Of course, much depends ON the
general improvement Of the times.

Few farms are fitted out with proper

they come into use almost every day
