A Strong Combination.
4Ao 1:barleston News and Courier

From the Charleston News and COurler
The Triton (Ga.) Gazette says that Mr..
w. A. Moore of Willachochee. has a breed
of hogs with hoofs like those of a mule
with no cleft. He secured the breed at Fer
nandina, Fla, and claims that they are
cholera-proof." Probably they are. An
animal that unites the general character
istics of the hog with the business end of
the mule represents a mighty strong COM

Brave Little Girls Capture n Hawk.


From the Romney (W. VaJ Review
On Sunday last Dora, the little daughter
OF j. w. Cowgirl, who lives on the Win
chester pike, three miles from Forks of
Capon, heard a racket among the chic ems
and. running out, discovered a large awk
on the ground with her pet hen in its tall
ons. The hen was making a game fight
and was about to escape by slipping
through a hole in paling fence around the
yard. The little girl made a dive for th.,
hawk, and. grabbing both it's wings jerked
1t backward against post that was lean
ing against the fence. She called to her
sister, Effie, aged seven, who came to her
assistance. and together they held the bird
by the wings until their mother, who heard
their screams, came with paling and
broke the birds neck 1t mea sured our
feet and two inches from tip to tip, and had
claws an inch in length.

American grain yesterday for export to
Europe were followed today by a further
Improvement in grain prices. This forms
one of the most important elements in
the general situation bearing upon the
stock market at the present time, and
its Importance was recognized today by
stock market operators.
The granger shares naturally particu-
larly reflected the Improvement in the
grain situation, showing a greater de-

pecially strong feature the buying of the

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Prices Ruled Well During Most OF
Nesterday,s Session. rA. ~,

Chicago. Oct. I2.-Wheat was strong
during most of the session, advancing
a cent from yesterdays close. and In the
last half hour lost a cent and a quarter
from the top. New York reported sales
of lis boatloads for export. The cash de-
mand here was less than yesterday and
the day before. Some of the most promi-
nent export houses in New York express
the belief that reports of export sales
have been greatly exaggerated. Liberal
selling for Minneapolis account started
the reaction from todays advance, and
the decline was helped by reselling by
St. Louis and local traders who had load
ed up. The big short interest has been
largely covered. The strength in Eng
lish markets seems influenced by the
light offerings of Russian wheat.

Brown Tobacco Company Sells

Every since tobacco leaves were

quickly a widespread popularity and
large sale, its peculiarly being that
it never hardens or Losses its pliability.

Kansas Gritty Carnival of 1898 was
formally opened tuesday night by the
imposing pageant of the Priests of
Pallas, the organization to which
chief credit belongs dor the annual
spectacles THAT have helped to make
Kansas City famous. The Priests
were THE originators of THE elaborate
and artistic pageant i'm this city, and
for twelve years they have maintained
their organization, contributed liber-
ally In time and funds, and have
given Kansas City and her guests a
series of moving spectacles beautiful
to behold and inspiring to remember.
The last of these, the parade of last
night, was one of the most pleasing
Of them all. 1t was founded upon the
rhymes and melodies of childhood,
the verse and song common and dear
no the boys and girls of rich and
poor. This pictorial revival impressed
the young and brought tender recol-
lections to the mature. 1t was a de-
lightful and prohtapIe indulgence,
and one of the most highly creditable
productions yet made by the Priests
of Pallas.

The war with Mexico is a part of
our martial history. TAYLOR and

IL immortal. The epic of that great
struggle was the storming of Chapul-
tepec. That frowning fortress was
the Gibraltar of Mexico. It's massive
walls seemed impregnable. But Amer
loan daring halted at no obstacles
and an intrepid band of volunteers
was chosen to scale and assault it.
Among the first of the dauntless
few who braved their way through

dreadful day was a young Mississippi

behind him. He paused, turned, and

Forage Plants I'm Kansas.

Three forage plants which are
much appreciated and are constantly
growing in appreciation, IN Kansas,
are alfalfa, Kafr-corn and the sac
charine sorghums.
Practically until 1891 there was no
acreage of alfalfa. In that year the
| state board of agriculture had as
SCISSORS make the first enumeration Of
It, when there was 34,3S4 acres. The
secretary of the board has just fin.
ished the computation of this years
returns, which show an aggregate of
| 231 1913 acres, an increase of $4,000
acres, or 35 per cent over last year,
and an increase since 1891 of 573 per
cent. This gain suggests the estimate
in which alfalfa is held as a, hay and
seed crop; and considering the fact
of its yielding from two to four cut
tings each season, and being peren-
NAL, the area sown to it is likely to
| be largely increased from year to
year in the future.
| Statistics of Kafir-corn acreage
were first gathered in 1893, when 49,
Oil acres were reported. The in
crease in the five succeeding years
has been 488,S32 acres, or 1912 per
cent. The acreage of the present year
is 535,743, an increase over last year
of 3,905, or more than "A per cent.
This, like the saccharine sorghums,
is planted not only for the forage /.
yields but for the 20 up to so bushels
of seed, or grain that it yields per
acre, which is found to have abou.
the same value for seed as Indian
corn.
The saccharine sorghums are each
year given larger attention as forage
plants, and are now raised well-nigh
exclusively for feed, instead of for
syrup or sugar-making, as formerly.
This year the area planted was $685.
259 acres, or 10 per cent more than in
1897. The gain since 1898 has been
nearly 1914 per cent.
AS each one of the plants mention
ed thrives especially we'll nearly
every year in the western half of the
state, or where Indian corn il not al
ways a reliable crop, ON account Of
altitude or lack of timely rainfall.

valuable adjuncts to the successful
growing and fattening of cattle

orphan with small means, and wished
to come to st. Louis on a visit.

and how she, though less half his age.

The wedding was very pretty one.
and Mrs. Dunlap, nee Sweet, was
quite an imposing parsonage in her
long veil, her diamond tiara and her
magnificent silk dress, the first OK
which was loaned her by the wife Of
the admiral, who said that all the
brides of the house of Dunlap had

Forest Fires are raging in Colora-
