Mr.. Edward Atkinson, stats.
tician, estimates the annual wool
product at S55, 900. 900 out of 3d.
2OO,OOO,000 produced by all the
workers of the country and the
persons dependent on the wool in
dustry at 100000 out of total
population of 73,0O0,OO0. The
wool duty then means that out Of
every 240 persons 239 are to be
"held up" for the benefit of the
other one. This is sample of
what protection does. OF course
more than 100000 persons may
sometimes raise few sheep, but
the interests of these Others are
more those of the consumer than
OF the sheep raiser, and they would
lose more because of increased cost
of woolens than they would gain
by the increased price of wool.

waldenses For Tennessee.

It is expected that 1000 Waldenses
from the Alpine valleys will arrive in
Tennessee this spring to join the colony
of $50 that established itself near Nor
canton in 1898. The first colony that
came to this country settled in Burke
county, N. c., in 1898. Under the lead
ership of DR.. Teofilo Gal and the Rev.
@. A. Iron, the colonists purchased sew
eral thousand acres of land and obtained
period of 30 years in which to pay for
it. Since then they have succeeded far
beyond their expectations and have ne
gotiated for 10000 acres just across in
Tennessee, which will be filed by the
newcomers. They have also secured op-
tions on many thousands of acres of con-
tiguous mountain lands, which will be
purchased in case the immigration war
rants it. Valdese is the principal town
of the Waldenses in the Tennessee noun
tains and is ten miles from Morganton.

The governor of Missouri is wearing
a most outrageous hat. 1t was given to
him by Adjutant General M. Fred Bell,
who has excellent taste i'll everything
except hats. The governor perhaps
wouldn't wear it at all if it hadn t been
presented to him by so good and loyal a
friend as General Bell. If casual ac-
quaintance had sent it to him, Governor
Stephens would doubtless have viewed
the gift with suspicion and stored it
away from public gaze, and if it had
come from political enemy he certainly
would have sent it back by the first
train. The hat is of such gigantic pro-
portions that the governor seems to
stagger under it as he walks. Its crown
is built upon the plans and specifications
of mountain peak, and when it is
crushed in the center it has the appear
ance of an extinct volcano. And yet
Governor Stephens seems actually proud
of the hat. 1t probably cost more than
any other hat in Missouri, and must
have been made to order. Jefferson City
is wondering how long the governor is
going to wear the hat.-Lebanon ono.

The report comes from Kansas that
the state legislature has taken hand
in the farm mortgage business by
providing for their legal reputation
by wholesale. The provision is in
sha pc of law compelling acknow-
ledgment and recording of assign
ments of these mortgages-ando of all
mortgages. If the matter is not at
tended to within 60 days the mort
gage is forfeited,
This queer law is little known in
the East, and no doubt great many
holders of Kansas mortgages will
lose them under it. A very large part
of the western farm mortgages sold
in the East are handled by concerns
in the business, and necessarily as
signed. And now comes a scheme to
kill the whole lot of documents of the
kind hailing from Kansas in short
order unless the holders are lucky
enough to hear of the law and able to
act quickly.
For straight dishonesty of the thor
oughly dirty kind no political party
of recent times has approached the
"pops."

the little graves in the cemetery-so
much more care than on the larger
graves-and the old sexton said, "Sir,
you know that 'of such is the kingdom
of heaven, and I think the Saviour is
pleased when he sees so much white
clover growing around these little
graves. = But when the minister pressed
the old sexton for more satisfactory
answer the cid sexton said, 'sSir, about
these larger graves, I don't know who
are the Lords saints and who are not,
but you know, sir, it is clean different
with the BARNS. y Oh, if you have had
that keen, tender, indescribable sorrow
that comes from the loss of child, do
not give up. The old sexton was right.
1t is all we'll with the BARNS. Or, if
you have sinned, if you have sinned
grievously-sinnedu until you have been
cast out by the church, sinned until you
have been cast out by society-do not
give up Perhaps there may be in this
house one that could truthfully utter
the lamentation of another:
Once I was pure as the snow, but I fell
Fell like snowflake, from heaven to hell
Fell to be trampled rs filth in the street.
Fell to be scotfed at, spit and beat,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for morsel of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Do not give up! One like unto the
Son of God comes to you today, saying,
eco and sin no more while he cries
out to your assailants, "Let him that is
without sin cast the first stone at her. I"
Oh, there is no reason why any one in
this house by reason of any trouble or
sin should give up Are you foreigner,
and in strange land? Nehemiah was
an exile. Are you penniless? Nehemiah
was poor. Are you homesick? Nehe-
miah was homesick. Are you broken
hearted? Nehemiah was broken hearted.
But just see him in the text, riding
along the sacrileged grave Of his father,
and by the dragon we'll, and through the
fish gate, and by the kings pool, in and
out, in and out, the moonlight falling
on the broken masonry, which throws
long shadow, at which the horse SHES,
and at the same time that moonlight

you up today out of your sins and out

Disraeli,s HONEYMOON.

An anecdote OF Disraeli is told by a
writer in Blaclwood's. Mr.. Griffin and
his daughter, Lady Simpkinson, travel
ing voiturier and hating to rest the
horses at a posthouse some hours from
Munich, suddenly became aware of ga
most disconsolate figure, with long, dark
curls, leaning dejectedly against one of
the pillars of the porch. - 1t was Dis
raeli on his wedding tour. The sight of
his friends aroused him to tell his tale
of woe. He had failed to recognize the
fact that he had been for some hours re-
tracing his steps instead of proceeding
to Innsbruck, as he had intended, and
had reached the posthouse to find no
horses available for his return. The du-
plicate mistake had been made by a
couple DESTROYS of reaching Augsburg
and at that moment speeding Oh a re-
turn journey of their own to Innsbruck.
But Disraeli's bride, it will be remem-
bered, was widow.

Charles Lee avs that he harvested
1000 worth of honey from his bees in
Yakima county, Wash, last year. AS
it required but two and one-half
months attention of himself and son
to look after his apiaries, which are
scattered Throughout the various val
eys of Yakima county, aggregating
between 200 an 300 colonies, and as
the increase of new swarms more
than paid for the work and material
expended, it will be seen that there
is good money to be made in the in =
dustry.

Animositfes Buried.

It is a matter for pleasant thought
that as the years have rolled by this an
nual tribute has become more celebra-
ton of peace than of war, more a guar
antee for the future than record of the
past. The exultation over victory has
given place to exultation over increasing
good feeling and a restored harmony in
all sections. The gray sleeps beside the
blue in many cemetery, but both will
have their tribute of flowers from loving
hands, typical of mutual regret and adj
miration for mutual courage. Chicago

The Dismal Swamp in Virginia is by

The Dismal Swamp in Virginia is by
no means so dismal as it has been
painted, and according to the de-
scription of local geographers pos
sesses features which ought to make
at tractive watering place and sani-
tarium. 1t is not, as people imagine,
vast bog sunk low in the ground,
into which the drainage of the sur
rounding country flows. On the con-
trary according to accurate surveys,
it is above the level ground, some
fifteen 20 feet, and instead of being
a receptacle, is, in its immense sponge
like bulk, gathering the waters that
descend uponit, the source of the
rivers, five of which take their origin
within it and flow onward to the sea.
The swamp is entirely of green tim
Der; there is no decaying wood, the
two principal woods that grow there
being the juniper and the cypress
which never rot. They fall on the
ground like other trees, but instead
of decomposing they turn into peat,
ana In that form remain unchange-
able and indissoluble. There is moth
ing in the swamp to create miasmo;
no rising of the tides and decomposi-
ton of rank vegetables; no marshes
expose to the burning rays of the
sun. All is fresh and sweet, and the
air is laden with balmy odor. The
water is tinged with the juniper to a
faint wine hue and is thought to con-
tain valuable sanitary qualities. 1t
is often used by vessels going on a
foreign cruise on account of it's
health flu, properties, and because it
keeps fresh and clear for years. Those
who live n ear it are not slow to de-
clare that it is the healthiest place in
the world.

Students So Decide, but There
Are Still Champions Of
the Practice.
Meanwhile the Faculty Prepares to
Peremptorily Forbid All Such
Student Battles.

BERKELEY, CAL. Sept. 3-The live
lest meeting of students ever held at
Berkeley took place to-day at l1:30, the
hour set for gathering of collegians to
discuss rushing. The attendanc, was the
largest in the history OF the university.
and there were more co-eds present than
has ever been known before
The discussion was opened by A. H.
Allen '98 who introduced the following
resolution:
Reso,ued That In view of the injuries recent
ly caused b rusning, the Associa ed students
of the University of California hereby abolish
the custom OF inter-class rushing, aud that
pa ii cipation in any rush shall be considered
suffieeni cause for expulsion from the Associ-
ated Students.
After the lesolutjon had been offered
Bear '99 proposed an amendment to max g
it applica BILE only to night rushes. Many
of the freshmen and sophomores presen t
hlssed the resolution and loudly cheered
Bears proposed modification, and Presi-
dent Thayer had great difficulty in pre-
serving order.
After discussion lasting over an hour
a vote was taken on he amendment,
which practically declared in favor of day
time rushes. 1t was defeated by vote Of
243 10 $50 The original resolution was
adopted by a similar vote. This places
the A. sociated Students on record as favor
ing the abolition of rushes.

BATTLE TN A
DARK BASEMENT
G. Fl. Hextrul Confronts a
Burglar and Fights for
His Life.
The Criminal Was Too Noisy
and Awoke the Man Who
Proved His Captor.
During the Combat Two Policemen
Appear and Take Charge of
the Housebreaker.

Shortly before midnight last night
Twenty-fourth street, was awakened from
a sound sluin ber by most unusual noise
In his basement. With his mind far IRON
thoughts of men who break in and steal,
and laboring under the belief that some
vagrant animal had gained an entrance
and was turning things over in an en-
deavor to find a comfortable bed, he lit q
candle and made his way to the basement.
There he found grizzled burglar poking
around in search of valuables and Incl
IDENTIFY trying to gain all entrance to the
rooms above. The burglar had taken the
same precaution to prevent barking his
ships against misp placed box or chair as
that of the property-owner, and he too
carried a candle. Hextrul, as soon as he
entered the basement, saw that he had
confronted a burglar, and as 1T was too late
TO retreat and call policeman, he made
a rush for the criminal, and in an instant
they were clinched in com bat.
The candles were both extinguished at
:he first embrace OF the burglar and his
intended victim, and in the pitchy dark
ness of the basement they struggled for
supremacy. Hextrul soon found that he
had a small Hercules to deal with, and
added his voice to his other efforts to win.
Shortly after he thought of his voice and
began 10 use it two policemen, ]. Conley
and C. P. Francis, who heard the shout
ing, responded to the call and entered the
basement. The burglar was soon in irons
and on his way to the Seventeenth-street
police station.
At the station he gave the name OF Fred
Smith and stated that he was black
smith by trade, but as business in that
line was dull at the present time he con-
cluded to raise some funds by another
more dangerous method.
Mr.. Hextrul was uniniured in the COM
bat and is gratifed 10 know he captured
the burglar. On future occasions, how
ever, he will investigate unusual sounds
assisted by q policeman or two, if be can
find them in the neighborhood.
