lie lNpuLeENT FATHER.

( n Accoanf of One That Colonel csIIiper
Knew In Storkville Center. Vt
Speaking Of indnlgent fathers, said
Colonel Calliper, reminds me Of an
old friend of mine named Siias Zing-
tock, who formerly lived in Storkyille
Centre, VT. Once when his little son
Rufus wanted very much 10 fiy kite
at a time when be was not well enough
TO be permitted to go out Mr.. Zingtock
rugged up a oontrivance whereby the
Youngsters desire could be gratified in
the house. He set up blower IN the
back parlor, belted it TO an engine In
the cellar below. and when everything
was all ready he started the fan and
produced a current Of air that was
ample TO float kite
at was great fun for young Rufus to
sit in the back parlor and fly his kite
in the 'front.' and for a time everything
went all right. but ON an unfortunate
day Rufy, not satisfied with the amount
Of wind the fan WAS blowing, undertook
TO make it blow harder. which is some
thing that Mr.. Zingtock had expressly
forbidden. 1t seems that the blower and
the boiler and machinery were all much
larger than were needed to produce a
breeze sufficient to float kite heIe, but
Mr. Zingtock, who, though rich. was
also thrifty. had had chance TO buy
this plant second hand cheaper than
new plant of smaller size would have
cost, and so he took it and had it SET
mp, and every morning ne used to adjust
it so that it would not go above GER
tain speed. and several times he had
cautioned his son never to touch it.
About one minute after Rufus did
touch it on this morning when he want
ed il to blow harder the big fan was go
ing at gait that set up a hurricane in
the pario-S Il blew the kite against one
of the windows and broke that the first
thing, and within minute the pictures
were of the walls and their glasses
smashed, tables were upset, bric-a-brao
was knocked into flinders, and the
whole parlor was wreck. with the big
blower going at top speed and churning
everything there into fragments and
blowing the debris out of the windows
THAT ended the fathers indulgence.

Political Notes

There is no heat in the political cam
paign in this State except the ordinary
heat registered by the thermometer. The
gold Democrats have officially decided 20
support the silver jerks, but neither they
nor their silver brothers, nor Blanken-
berg, nor the Van yalkenburgs expect
any serious reduction In The Republican
majority.
The effect of what Republican dissatis-
faction there is viii be partly annuIled by
the feeling that a vote against the Repub-
iican ticket would seem like vote of dis
satisfaction with the Administrations
conduct Of the war. No matter how little
sympathy we may have with this view of
the matter. it will have its effect, and the

Aleatraz was not Fort Sheridan, and
so the bueker was not prodded with
bayonets or dragged to the command
ing officers office by rope, but be was
put in the dungeon. The Alcatrsz dun
geon is below the level of the sea, and
the restless and often stormy waters
may be heard from within the dungeon
beating against its outer walls. The
Alcatraz dungeon is infested with rats
of quite remarkable ferocity. For rest
ing-place the occupant of the Aleatraz
dungeon has a six-foot plank, and for
ration bread and wafer. The bucker
was given three days of it. Then ne
was brought out at fatigue call on the
fourth morning. He was a bit pale,
and he didn't look like the $50 pounds
that he weighed before he went into
the dungeon.
"Ready TO work now, eh?'' said the
provost guard to the prisoner.
The bucker plucked a wisp of grass
from the swarG.
"NOpe," said the prisoner, ''and new
er will be ready. You can put that
down. Dungeon or 10 dungeon, don't
work out that sentence, not day o. it,
nor a minute Of it. You hear me, don't
you ?"
The officer Of the day got the same
reply. Three more days of the dungeon
was dished out to the bucker by order
of the commanding officer. The pris-
oner was paler and thinner-looking yet
when he was through with this dose.
"You have learned sense now, I'll
bet" said the provost sergeant.
''If sense means work, I'm still a.
learning" replied the bueker.
The man had to be kept by regula-
ton, three days locked up in the guard
house proper before being again relega-
ted to the dungeon. When the three
days were up, into the dungeon he
went again, this time for six-day trick.
He looked ghostly when he was
drawn up in the prisonen' line on the
seventh day.
Willing to do little coaI-hauling
chore or two now?' inquired the pro-
vost sergeant.
mo, and | never will be. Might as
well get that fact drilled into your thick
skull. never will be-"
Then the man was taken before the
commanding officer. He was talked TO
rather nicely by the commanding offi-
Ger and recommended TO take a quiet
little tumble to himself.
''Go to work, like the other prison
ers, my man, and save yourself misery,
and get yourself restored to duty when
your sentence is worked out.r
Never" said the prisonsr. and he
was pretty pailid and thin-looking
lot, too, by this time.
During the ten-day trick in the dun
geon that followed this, the man was
found in the dungeon in state of col
lapse. He was surveyed by the post
surgeon. The commanding officer
thought it better, after the man got out
of the hospital, to "bob-taiI" him out
is, dismiss him from service
without further ado. The man would
have died before he would have worked
under sentry. lie was one Of the few
buekers who ever came out ahead in

.SOUTHERNERS
 WILL FIGHT
Their Services Have Been Offered in the Country's
 Behalf.
Proposed to Form a Local Company and March to the Front When
 Called.

There are many war-scarred veteran Confederates in this city who are ex- ceedingly anxious to join the forces in case of war with Spain. In fact, many letters have been written to the Govern ors of various Southern States asking that they have some provision made for them and that they be allowed to bear arms against the unfriendly nation.
 William Barnett of Georgia, who is at present in this city, and who is also an ex-Confederate colonel, received letter from Governor Atkinson of Georgia re- gently stating that in accordance with a written request to be allowed to join the American forces in case of war he would be pleased to accept his services and fur thermore thanked the colonel for his of fer.
 There are several hundred gray-haired men who fought for what they deemed the rights of the SouthernerS who are at present contemplating forming com panies and marching to the front, when, as many of them state. the inevitable clash comes. It is proposed to hold meet ings before long and make final arrange ments, and in all probability a conclu- sion will be quickly reached. There are many hard fighters among them and a splendid body of men would result from a company or even regiment formation
 Colonel Barnett is highly elated over the prospect of once again smelling smoke" and states that if the opportu- nifty presents itself, which he thinks highly probable, the fighting ability of those of Southern blood will be clearly shown.
