In the northern part of Limestone
county, Ala, is tract of land cen
81 ing of more than LOCO acres,
that 10 one elaine, and no taxes
have ever been paid on it. 1t is q

deer and razor-backed hogs. 1t is a
free hunting ground and thousands
Of these hogs are killed every year,
more for the sport than anything
else.
Large sun spots, astronomers say,

loss of sleep last night. His audi
ence numbered many thousand per-
sops, and they gave close attention
as we'll as frequent applause. The
speech was general review Of the
present situation, and it was evidently
intended to set the pace for the cam
paign in Ohio. Mr.. Bryan said:
Measured by the principles for
which the party stands, there is every
reason why the people Of this State
should support cur ticket, and if any
feel like being restrained by matter
of State pride, you should remcm-
Der that you have had Presidents
enough for this State to satisfy rca-
sonable pride, and then one term Is
long enough if a man does what be
ought to, and if he does not it is too
long.
If the laboripg man wants arbl-
tration as a means of settling differ
ences between labor and capital be is
told by the Republican party that as
long as he has full meal he does
not need anything else. II the la
boring man protests against govern
ment by Injunction the only answer
he gets is "a full dinner pail
"My friends, if the Republican
party want to make it's full dinner
pail argument let it 60 into the an
tbracite coal region where the opera
ti7es gets less than $3.50 year.
This mornings paper contains the
statement that the wages paid to mi
ners will in some instances average
less than $3.50 a year. Why, my
friends, that will not give the laboring
man one full dinner pail a day, and he
ought to have three. (Applause.) l
am afraid that when the Republican
party was not looking the lid OF that
dinner pail few eff and some coal
got into the bucket, and | understand
it is coal that weighs nearly twice as
much as the law requires, and the
Republican party, when it goes TO
blow it out, will have to do it with
powder that is sold to the miners at
S2.75 keg when it is only worth
81 so.

Smith reported presently, "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish

but we can't get the rails" "Tele-
graph to every mill in the country, and

said the little wizard, go somewhere
and tear up something. We've got

Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned Of the enterprise and
haled Smith to court to answer for
tearing up a railroad that belonged to
them. TO their questioning he admit
ted all and had 70 excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do it.
WHO is Jay Gould" some asked.
"Wbat las he got to do with it?''
Up rose a young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds Of the Union Pa

stock, and that he was absolute pro-
prietor Of the feeder that Mr.. Smith
had torn up. There never was more

And said that my blood was cold
And that my kindly FIRE was hed
And my poor withcred heart was dead
And that might not sing OF love?
How could to the dearest theme
That ever warmed a minstre's dream,
So foul, so false recrcant prove?
How could name loves very name
Nor wake my harp to notes OF Hame1
IN peace Love turns the shepherds reed;
In war he mounts the warriors 5tecd;

In hanlcts daiices on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp. the grove,
And men below and saints above,
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

People Are Like sheen.

The means employed to induce the
public to buy admission tickets for
the various amusements on the Es-
planade of the Export Exposition are
nothing short of high art. The
"barkers" are schooled in this strange
science, and when they talk it is not
their aim to instruct, but to attract
attention. The one who can send
forth the most strident and ear-spht-
ting yell and make the widest and
strangest gyrations is the one who is
considered of the most value by the
proprietor. A crowd may be pouring
past a place of amusement without the
least apparent interest except to get
past, when suddenly all attention is
arrested by a series of hair-raising
yells. The vigorous barker, when
all eyes are turned on him, points to
the door leading to his particular at
traction aud tells of its wonders.
At this point advantage is taken of
another phase of human nature. It
is a well-known fact that people are
like sheep-they will follow the leader
Suddenly man or woman, who is in
the crowd for that purpose, starts
boldly toward the ticket seller, and
soon a steady stream is setting in the
same direction. Philadelphia Record.
