Jimmy's mother kept cows and sold
milk. Jimmy himself had nothing to
do with the cows, though sometimes
he used to carry the milk pail to his
mothers customers. The customers
all liked Jimmy, with his round, free
kled face and bashful grin, and they
used to ask him how business was, for,
although Jimmy was only 13 years old,
he had business, He made coffins-

The Boer is the ideal pioneer. From

A SONG OF FORGETTING.

The hours as playthings were-ah, msl
And laughter lived In every word
What time that love wns yoIng and glee
In every pulsins heart throb stirred
The wild plum blossomed in the glen.
The rabbit raced across the pialn,
And frightened birdlings hurried whel
Our hounds and horses tramped the r-ain.
Down in the grove beside the spring
We rested when the race was won,
had listened to the wood bird sing
A lullaby when day was done.
But, ah, you wandered from my side
And paved the long l9re lane of years
With memory stones AID loss too wide
For sobs to soothe with memory tears
And row you come-come back to me
To I'LL, as then, the old time place
Where Is the magic OF your plea?
What change has come upon Jour taccf
Oh, friend, to lose and still love on.
To live on chatf instead OF grain
Is better than to feel love gone
Forgetting Is the keenest rcin.

LAND MEANS.

Especial correspondence.l
CBEcoIAm. /. T., Dec. 10.-The allot-
ment Of lands is being made to the
various Indian tribes in the Indian Ter
fltory, and In few months theirstribal
governments Will have ended. Many
Of the Kickapoos have refused to be
enumerated in the census and are emf
grating TO Mexico. and a number Of
the Seminoles are also preparing to
leave for chihuahua, TO which place
some OF their ancestors migrated at
the conclusion of the Seminole war.
They reason that 1t Is no use TO remain
md take their allotments--"white man
get all the lands by and by" The rea-
son for the Kiowas leaving Is that II
has been discovered that the treaty
with them is raudulent--that the two
Indians who did sign 1t were drunk at
the time. They were recently tried for
treason and would have been shot only
for the timely substitution of the Unit
ed States court for their tribal court.
The remaining Klowas will send DEL
egation to Washington and ask that
VIC WhitN Stllitio bt tJtIltu anu tlldh
their lands remain as communal prop
erty. BY this means white settlers may
be kept out OF the nation unless the
Indian authorities give them permit
to lease lands. But when the lands
are allotted in severalty the settler
will have to deal only with the indi-
vidual Indian, and of course in time
the Indian would have very little land
left.
The Indians of some of the other
nations are, however, favorable to al
lotment, as they can lease all except a
few acres to cattleiilen and live in
idleness upon the rents. Immense
tracts of mineral and grazing lands
are being leased by syndlcates, and it
seems that wave of prosperity will
soon strike this almost unknown Sec
tion of the United States. Each man
will be allotted 800 acres of land for
every member of his family. He may
rent or sell all excepting co acres.
When that is gone, he is almost a pau
per. Their tribal governments are
virtually abolished, and under the
treaty they will cease altogether in
ten years, when the Indian will no
longer have n government and ceases
to be a citizen, for at present he is a
voter.

ritory are SO called to designate them

Here is what Mrs. Ora Markwith, l08

peculiar characteristics or unusual at
tainments attract especial attention
from the galleries and whose future
course will be watched with interest
by the outside world as information
concerning them is made public
through the press. The records of past
sessions furnish a pretty accurate in
dication of what the old members will
do In relation to any given proposition,
but there is usually more or less spec
ulation in the early days of the ses-
sion as to just what the colts will do
until they get thoroughly broken into
the legislative harness.
The successor of ex-Speaker Reed is
Amos l.. Allen of Alfred, Me-. who
was a classmate of Mr.. Reed in their
youth at Bowdoin college. They have
been lifelong friends. AS private Sec
retary to the speaker for several years
back Mr.. Allen relieved Mr.. Reed OF
the onerous details of his strictly rep
resentative duties in looking after the
varied wants of his constituents. and
In doing thls he became so well nc
quainted with the voters of the district
and grew 50 useful to them that on
Mr.. Reeds voluntary retirement Mr..
Allen easily stepped into his plncc.
Tho successor of the late Nelson A.
Dinglcy. who attained especial promi-
nence as chairman Of the ways and
means committee, is Charles Il. Little
field of Rockland, proprietor and cd
itor of O newspaper in that town.
The greatest change In the member
ship of any delegation is in that from
New York state. In the last congress
New York's contingent embraced
Democrats and % Republicans. Now
there are 1S Democrats and 10 Repub-
jJsans. Thirteen out Of the 10 new
men are Democrats, chiefly from New
York and Kings counties. Among the
new Manhattans four at least are said
TO be rich--Jefferson NJ. Levy, Colonel
william Astor Chanler, Jacob Rupert
and Daniel ]. Riordon, the latter be-
ing John Murray Mitchelrs successor.
Colonel Chanler, from the Fourteenth
district, is one of the youngest and
wealthiest as well as handsomest of
all the new recruits, and lively in
terest centers in his personality In con-
sequence. A story is told illustrating
how the honors of craftsmanship came
to him unsought. The district had
been represented for three terms by
Lemuel Ely Quigg, Republican. and
the Democratic leaders were anx-
ious to pick out man to de-
feat Qulgg Amos ]. Cummings, the

went to Chanler one day and suggest
ed that he become candidate for
congress Chanler, real hero Of the
Spanish war, is nevertheless a quiet
and modest fellow. and he frankly told
Cummings the idea wasS,bsurd. Final
ly, after much persuasion, young Chan
Ter was induced TO accept the nomina-
ton and was elected. He is likely to
be heard from before the session is
over. Another young man from the
state of New York who is likely to at
tract attention is Edward d. Vreeland,
from the Thirty-fourth district. who

Especial Correspondence.1
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Each new
congress brings new faces to the
chambers Of the senate and house of
representatives, the study of which is
one Of the most Interesting and en-
crossing occupations of the habitats of
the galleries. The Fifty-sixth con-
gress, which is now getting fairly
down to business, is no exception to
this rule, and in the house particularly
there are many new faces. Some of
them are extremely strong and at
tractive fnces, indicating that force,
mental vlgor and self assertiveness
which will make their possessors posi-
tive factors In national legislation.
The membership OF the house in
cludes 1O6 brand new recruits. who
now make their debut in the halls Of
congress. OF this number 81 are Dem
ocrats and Al are Republicans, with
one Populist and one independent Sill
verite.
In view Of the protest against the
seating or Brigham IL. RoDerts ana
the wide public interest the case has
awakened, the member from Utah is
without doubt one of the most notable
figures Of this congress. Many Of the
other new members are notable at
first largely by reason Of the dlstlnc-
tion of the representatives whose shoes
they fill. This sort of prominence is.
naturally enough, not particularly
gratifying to their self respect, and
they will doubtless strive to win favor
able renown in their own right and on
their own merits.
Among these new recruits are the
successors of ex-Speaker Thomas B.
Reed and the late. Nelson Dingley of
Maine; the successor of the late la
mented and venerable "Silver Dick"
Bland Of Missouri of Joseph II. Walk
er Of Massachusetts. for two congress-
es chairman of banking and currency;
Of Alexander NJ. Dockery of Missouri,
Of Governor Joseph d. Sayers of Tex

Pardoned BY the Governor.

After lapse Of 10 years the story of
the famous Yonce murder case in Ed ge-
field county is recalled by the pardno
Wednesday of Whitfield Murrell one of
the young men convicted Of the muir
der with a recommendation to mercy.
At the time Of the crime and for some
time afterwards the whole State was
astir. The capture of Murrell was on
ly affected after the most extensive
search had been made. He was
brought to Columbia finally securely
tied with ropes, then seemingly mere
boy. He has been serving life SEN
tence. Gov. McSweeney granted the
petition for pardon Wednesday on a
statement Of the physicians that the
young man had developed consumption,
on the confessions of Carpenter, con-
victed along with him, that Murrell,
though with him at the time, had taken
no part in the killing of Yonce; and on
petitions Of the strongest character.
Murrell was set free Wednesday even
ing and goes to his home with friends
and relatives today. During Gov. Till
mans administration strong petitions
we're presented, but the governor re-
fused the pardon Senator Tillman's
name, however, appears on the petition
which aided in getting the pardon.

New Lieutenant Governor.

Thursday morning the Hon. R. B.
Scarborough of Horny county, who by
virtue of his position as president pro
tenn of the State senate, and the ele-
vation of the former lieutenant COVER
nor to the Office Of governor, becomes
lieutenant governor. arrived in the
city. He had not up to that time taken
the oath as required by the constitu-
tion. At 10 o'clock Senator Scarbo-
rough went to the State capitol and pro-
ceeded to take the oath of Office before
Col. Z. r. Brooks, clerk of the State
supreme court. Having done so he
signed it in duplicate, one copy being
left in the Office Of the secretary of
state. Upon taking the oath Mr.. Scar
borough vacated the Office of senator of
Horny county; the duty therefore de,
wolves upon him of issuing a writ Of
election for the election of his success
or as senator. He also has to issue a
writ for an election in Lexington
county to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the election of Senator Griffith as
superintendent Of the State penitentia-

TIE CROPS AND WEATHER.
What the Department of Agriculture
Says About Them.

The following is the weekly bulletin
CT the condition OF the weather and
crops Of the State as issued Wednesday
BY Section Director Bauer Of the Uni
ted States Weather and Crop Service
bureau:
The week ending June 18th, 1899,
was one Of tcrrid heat, with the aver
age temperature about = degrees per
day above the normal, and with an ex-
treme maximum Of 105 degrees on the
Sth at Greenwood.
There was almost an entire absence
Of rain during the week until Saturday
evening, when general showers began
that continued throughout Sunday, and
in places on Monday. The week closed
with cooler, threatening weather pre-
vailing.
The hot, dry weather Of the greater
part Of the week was very injurious to
crops generally, and some, such as to-
bacco, rice, corn and truck, we're seri-
ously damaged in places, while cotton
was but little afec; ed.
Cotton of early planting is doing well
everywhere and some is putting on
squares freely; late planted is not all
up, and some fields have been replowed
and planted to corn. The stands of cot
ton are generally fair, but the plants
are smaller than usual to the season.
Sea Island cotton is in splendid condi-
ton, and some blooms have been noted.
Corn was suffering everywhere for
rain, and in many places turned yel-
low and wilted; old corn in tassel is
seriously damaged by drought-in
places practically ruined. There is
much land yet to plant to corn in the
north central and south central coun-
ties, on red lands. Old corn is being
laid by. Insects continue to injure this
crop.
Tobacco suffered serious impairment
especially late settings, many Of which
died, leaving stands much broken; early
tobacco is blooming low.
Rice is doing we'll on low lands, but
upland rice withcred and died out in
places. Late or June planting is nearly
finished,
Wheat and oats harvest is nearing
completion and lhreshing has begun,
with quite satisfactory yields of wheat,
while oats are turning out poor ly, with
some exceptions. Spring oats are too
low to cut, and are crop failure.
Maturing truck crops were cut short
about one-third by the drought. Pas
lures and gardens were parched. Much
complaint Of blight on apple and pear
trees. Melons being laid by, but suf-
feriDg for rain. The conditions as
stated by correspondents in this bulle-
tin, have been materially modified by
the recent rains, but to what extent is
not now known.

Sne was stopped. 4 man leaped
over the hedge, strong hands caught
Topsy's bits, and John Manchester's
voice bade Mr.. Lloyd dismount
He did so, catching his foot and fall
ing headlong. By the time he had re-
gained his feet the men who had been
working in the field with John had
reached the spot. One of these held
the horse by the head, the rest were
gathered about figure which lay
prone upon the ground.
"Eh, what's the matter?" Mr.. Lloyd
asked, making his way forward.
That brute Of horse has about
killed John" one Of the men said.
His arm is broken, besides that hurt
on his head, and 1 don't know what
else"
John Manchester opened his eyes,
and supported by one Of his compan- :
ions. struggled to sitting posture.
Although suffering severe pain, he
smiled family when he met the gaze
Of Seth Lloyd.
Hope you'll excuse my trespassing,"
he said, in hoarse voice. Il really
forgot under the excitement Of the
moment that you had forbidden my
coming on your premises.
The words died away on his lips, and
be sank back, pale and speechless. Seth
Loyd's wrinkled face worked piteously
as he turned to the group of men.
"He hain't dead, is he? Cause if he
is, twas me and the barberry hedge
that killed him
It was late the next morning when
John Manchester woke from troubled
sleep. The doctor had pronounced his
injuries serious, but not dangerous.
Some one was sitting close by his bed,
and he slowly turned his aching head
to see who it was.
How are you feeling, dear?" and
Patty bent over the pillow.
"You here, Patty! On, my darling,
what does it mean?"
Hush, you are not to talk. Papa sent
me here to help take care Of you. It's
all right, John. He, he said," and the
blushing face dropped low, that you
must get well enough for wedding
on Christmas That isn't all. See,
john" and she darted to the window
and raised the shade.
The barberry hedge was in plain
sight. John saw the teams and hired
men Of Mr.. Lloyd hard at work pulling
up the shrubs by the roots.
Papa said to tell you and your faith
er that the barberry hedge and the
trouble it made were things Of the
past" Patty said, slipping her soft
hand into that of her lover.
