The German fashion OF growing
gooseberries on standard bushes-that
is to say, shipping of all but one stem
and allowing the plant TO bush out at
a convenient height for packing. like
standard roses-gives a great effect Of

Hargett. OF Faulk vicinity,

son was plowlng a few days

green snake, which, to his
utter surprise, had two heads
one on each end. The head
at the tail end OF his snake
ship wss a little bit smaller
than the other one, but just
as perfect, with eyes, mouth
and all. And what's more,
both heads had tongues and
were clicking them out" II

The Walled Country.

China abo1nds in walls,
"walled country, walled cities
walled villages, walled pal
aces and temples-wall after
wall. and wall within wall.
But the greatest of all Is the
great wall of China, built 213
years before our era, ofgreat
slabs of wei, hewn stones, laid
in regular courses some 20
feet high and then topped
out with large hard burned
brick, the ramparts high and
thick and castellated for the
use of arms. 1t was built to
keep out the war like Tarta:s
-25 feet high and 40 feet
thick, i, 200 miles long, with
room on top for six horses
to be ridden abreast. For
1,400 years it kept those
hordes at bay, in the main.
and is just as good and firm
and strong as when put in
place. How one feels while
standing on this vast work
scrutinizing it's old masonry
it's queer old cannon and am
hitous sweep along the noun
tain crest. In speechless awe
we strolled or sat and gazed
in silent wonder. Twelve
hundred miles of this gigan-
tic work, built on the rugged
craggy mountain tops, vaul-
ting over gorges, spanning
wild strea netting the
river archways with huge,
hard bars OF copper, with
double gates, and swinging
doors and bars set thick with
iron armOr-a wonder OF the
world, before which the old
time classic seven wonders,
all gone now, save the great
pyramids, were toys. Amen
gineer some years ago gave
it as his opinion that the cost
OF this wall, figuring labor al
the same rate, would more
than equal that of all the
100000 miles of railroad ir
the United States.

OF the tickets being headed by
Bryan and Mckinley again
ond expects they will be any
way. Speaking of the next

he said: "Che three ~ o s
prominent fea lures of t h {

against the interest-bearinl

Gen. Otis has been ordered
to send the volunteers home
rs fast as transportation
could be secured for them.
when Otis had really been in.
structed to keep the volun-
teers as long as he needed
them and could make them
appear to stay willingly.
This has been suspected for
some time, hut when two
transports left Manila for
San Francisco last week with
only sick and wounded men
aboard. and two more with
no soldiers aboard, it became
a certainty. 1t IS now pri-
vately acknowledged by mem
bers Of the administration
that it had, from the first,
been the intention of OTIS to
keep the volunteers until the
Filipinos ulrendeled, and
the bluff about bringing them
home az fast as vessels could
be made available W a IS
thrown out because it wa s
thought that the surrender
would occur before t h ere
would he an opportunity to
send them home. A govern.
ment of the people can meyer
add to its strength or popu-
larity by deceiving the people.
Every such deception is an
impugnment of the patriot
ism of the people.
The disappointment felt in
: administration circles over
the failure of the. expected
surrender OF AguinaIdo to
materialize is so acute that
it cannot be hidden, and off

for several weeks past, in pre-
dieting the speedy finish o.
Aguinaldo can not now be
cOaXed to talk about t h
probabilities over there al
all.
