HEn FIRST HUSBAND.

My wife's fust husband-rest his sovs-hs
was too good to live.
He couldn't stand this harsh, bad world,
he was so sensitive;
I reckon he was lonesome here in this poor
universe.
Where angels amt the ruling class and
saints is thund'rin scurse,
So he serenely passed away and quit this
world of strife,
Leayin' a wilder who is now my lawful
welded wife,
And leavin', too. a record fer perfection. 80

That, feel competent to say. simply can't
be beat.
knew him purity well when he was with us
here on earth,
And, to be honest, must say didn't know
his WORTH
In fact-this Is between ourselves-l had
the strange idee
That, Of the two OF us, the heft Of goodness
was with me.
Folks called him slack and lazy-yes, and
ugly round the house;
They even said, one time, he hove sass
pan at his spouse,
Which, candidly and fairly. any way yer
view it, amt
The regulation conduct that's expected Of
a saint.
But, sense took his wilder, I've discovered
these fer facts:
He alters KEEP his house and farm as neat
as polished wax,
He never tracked his muddy boots acrost
the kitchen floor,
He never stopped to gossip with the fellers
at the store;
II he stepped on a carpet-tack, ne never
swore a cuss;
II dinner wasn't ready, why, he never
raised a fuss;
He never growled at gittin' up at twelve
o'clock or one
To hunt fer burglars-no, iedge he ulster
think twas fun.
II you don't b'lieve he was so good, and
think these yarns are stuff,
Jest ask my wife, she'll tell yer-Gee! she
tells me times enough;
In fact, 1 hear his name so much I'm some
times kinder sick,
And wish the dear departed was bein'
I could kick.
And 1 jest reckon IL she dies and gains the
Heavenly place
Afore 1 do, and them two meet beside the
Throne of Grace,
If married lfe's the same up there, she'll
make him sick of me
By tellin', all the time. how kind and good
l ulster be.

CROSS SECTION OF STEEL TRACK.
This gives a base for each rail to rest
upon a little over a foot wide. The rails
are tied together every eight or ten feet
by means of bars or cross ties, d, which
are bolted to the bottoms of the rails
This road has been tried but little. 1t
was laid only q month or so before the
ground froze last fall The first expert
ment of trying it with dirt or gravel
surfacing material showed that it was
not n success, as the wheels of the
wagon would run off the track and cut
into the gravel or dirt. The edges Of the
rails being smooth, the wheels would
not come back onto the track readily
Broken stone and cobble stones were
then used and helped to return the
wheels to the track, these stones being
laid both inside and outside Of each rail
as shown at G.
The steel would probably cost $2,5Oc
per mile. 1t would work much better
with macadam between the tracks and
for foot or two on either side. ThiI
would bring the cost up to the cost OF
macadam. 1t may be that the rails can
be made in some different form that
will hold the wheels on the track, and SC
constructed that the wheels will easily
come back on to the track when in a
rut beside the rails, though it is quite
likely that stone will be necessary to ac-
complish this last. - Orange Judd

BY the death of Hon. Richard P. Bland,
of Missouri, the Democratic party has lost
one its purest and best men. lie was one
of the original and earnest advocates of
the free coinage of silver, and proved that
his position was sincere, if mistaken.
During his long service i'll Congress he re-
tanned the confidence of his constituency
and the respect of men of all parties,
His death will be regretted by all who
knew him as public man and citizen.

The steel track at the Minnesota ex

track prepared by the Office of road in
quiry of the department of agriculture
for the Omaha exposition last year. The
steel rails, a, are eight inches wide, with
one-half inch fange, e, at the outer
edge, and 30 feet long. They are made
of channel steel, and to the channel
stcel are bolted L-shaped strips ofsteel

4 Pound of onion Seed.

Replying to the question as to how
many bushels of onion seeds one pound
of seed will produce, writer says:
THE more thickly the seed is sown the
smaller the sets, hence it is difficult to
estimate the number of bushels from
one pound, the sets varying in size from
pea to large marble. 1t requires
about five pounds OF seed per acre for
an onion crop and about eight times
as much for sets. A pound contains
about $4,000 seeds, and if allowance Is
made for loss in termination, ETC., at
least one bushel Of sets can be obtained,
and probably much more under favor
able conditions"

Cruelty of BAD Roads.

Operations in the Scio (W. Va.) oil
fields were suspended recently because
of proceedings against the companies
by the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals. The roads in all
directions were almost impossible and
the society ordered all horses kept out
of the fields. Oil well supplies of every
description were tied up and hundreds
Of employees were idle, waiting for The
roads to improve. The situation was
peculiar for a booming oil territory.
If supplies had been started with the
roads In their bad condition the society
would have instituted proceedings.

THERE are some persons in the United
States, many we fear, who were more graft
fed than distressed at the unfavorable
news that came from our military opera
tons in the Philippines last week. 1t
gave them an opportunity to criticize the
Administration, and parlisanism was
stronger than patriotism. Much Of our
trouble in the Philippines has been occa-
stoned by the bitter partisanry of what
has properly been called the American
Aguinaldists.

Our Democratic friends are trying to
dissatisfy the people by telling them that a
protective tariff creates and fosters trusts.
The most terrible trust that has ever been
known in this country was created and
fostered- by Democratic free trade. That
trust was "hard times" Do the free
traders think the people will be foolish
enough to give free trade another trial.
If the trusts are giving US the present
good times, let us have some more trusts
along With protection.

JUDGE STUART in his opinion denying a
change of venue to General Walker said ;
"The court will not presume that men OF
decency and honor would be guilty OF
even the slightest discourtesy to the dis
tinguished and venerable defendant, in
his hour Of trial, or in spirit of perjured
vengeance commit the dastardly and dia-
bolical crime of prejudicing his right one
iot or title in order to filch from him his
liberty" The judge is right in bis pre-
sumption. 1t is not the men of decency
and honor that are feared, but the other
fellows; and General Walker has been led
to believe, as has the public, that there
are good many of that sort in and around
Bristol. Men who will not scruple to do
anything to accomplish their revenge and
satisfy their hate.
