mitted, and l used to encounter him
now and then in the local courts. He
was very large, portly man, with a
singularly intimidating presence, and
when he got a nervous witness In his
hands the way he would put on the
screws was something frightful- This
habit led one day to a remarkable
scene, Of which / happened to be
spectator. He was engaged in the trial
OF a case involving the title Of some
farm lands, and a number OF country
men were called to testify on the 9TH
er side. They were naturally Ill at
ease, being unused TO city ways, and
when Simmondson came to cross-ex-
anime he found them easy prey. He
harassed them in every imaginable
manner, and whenever they would
show signs of confusion would roar
out: What are you hesitating for2

the victim replied No. Simmondson
would retort, I was sure you didn't
fear little thing like that and If the
answer was Yes he would say, with
a sneer: All, l thought So In short,
he had them both ways, and the poor
fellows, being strangers to repartee,
were badly discounted. The last wit
ness he took in hand was a tall, lank
farmer with a very thoughtful eye.
He had watched the batting of his
neighbors in dead silence and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim
mondson evidently set him down as 4

over some question a moment later he
fired his favorite shot: What are y

A sympathetic critic of our literature
has said that the people of the United
States have had to net their Had and
have not had time to sing il. They
have passed through several stages of
political progress eliminating in the
position of a col3nizing power, and the
intervals between their crises of growth
have not been long enough for the set
Element of literary canon nor promo
tive of general literary culture. Until
recently the territorial sections in
which certain economical and political
doctrines were more or less powerful,
represented the ~antagonism Of feelings
and ideas which pr evented unity of
national aspiration. Since the Civil
War the country has been developing
industrial business by means Of the
railroad systems which have promoted
the largest domestic trade in the
world; and now, for the first time in
its history, it has become politically
one by reason of a wal which has
brought together North and South, as
we'll as East and West, in an intimacy
of national relation which did not ex-
list a year ago, observes the New York
Commercial Advertiser.

While the dress goods industry O

factory condition, that of France APP
pears to be far worse situated, OBJ
serves the Dry Goods Economist.
Manufacturers in Roubaix report a
very Improbable business, and though
their confreres in Germany and Eng
land have also suffered from bad trade,
the latter were undoubtedly better of
than the Frenchmen. Want of
adaptation to modern requirements is
the cause ascribed by the Economists
Franchise. While there are establish
ments in France as we'll equipped as
in Alsace or Saxony, on the whole a
much larger proportion of the looms
in Germany are of the best and most
recent construction. This is LARGELY
because the German wooden manufac-
ture is OF more recent growth than that
of France. It is also claimed by the
Economists that, because of the com.
bination Of spinning and weaving in
the anne mills, France cannot pro-
duce the immense variety of fabrics
now required SO economically as is
done in Germany and England, where
spinning and weaving are to a very
large extent separate industries. This
is . matter which has recently begun
to receive attention from American
manufacturers.

The multiplication of locomotive
agencies goes on apace, and is realiz.
ing such a forecast with a rapidity
never before known. Canal, steam
engine, electric and cable oars, bicycle
and automobile have not only com
bined against our four-footed friends
for competition in long aud short dis.
tances, but are competing among
themselves for the largest share in
the victory. In the most highly
civilized countries the beast of burden
for long distances has been eliminated
by the railway, and for short distances
the process will be practically COM
pleted by the street car and the
automobile. The great trunk lines
across this country, the Canadian
Pacific Railway across Canada, the
trans Siberian line in Asia, the COM
ing railway from Cairo to Cape Town
and other great lines yet to be built
in Asia and Africa, portend the final
displacement of the nomad life which
originally gave animals their chief
value. The work Of elimination is
thus being sketched on broad lines by
colonizing necessities, aud the filing
IN process will 60 on with the develop
ment of trade and civilization. Minor
details will be adjusted by local con
ditions, and the same principle that
calls for great continental highways Of
steel will be operative in smaller areas
wherever commerce 10 established.

a young lady living in a small Penn

which were nom the less welcome for

Private Spring was deciding that he
must be able to charm at a distance,
because a Massachusetts, girl was
writing to him in a particularly affec-
tionate strain, and wanting to know if
there wasn't something she could send
him.
Private Spring thought of a lot of
things that he could use if he had
them, but as the fair correspondent
had omitted to sign her last. name, it
didn't seem feasible to write for them.
Presently both Springs began to get
letters complaining that no answers
had been received to questions asked
in the writer's previous letters.
At the height of the tangle Sergeant
Spring was walking along the road
one day, when a comrade called his
name. He and another man ahead of
him both walked back, asking what
was wanted.

the sergeant.
