was bedridden. and the nature OF his
complaint can be best described IS
chronic disinclination to getting up.
Some hours were 100 early. and then
again some hours were too late. 1t
simplified matters to lie still and let
the sun attend to its own business. II
knew how to get up and to 90 down
without any concern on the part OF
Pa Fenning.
Ma Fenning kept more abreast with
the times-knew when to get break
fast. could approximate the dinner
hour, and knew at what season OF the
year 1t was best to set hens. Her five
sons and three daughters had grown
up around her-an inadvertence on
their parts which necessitated the bak-
ing of sixteen loaves at time in
stead Of ten, which was the require
ment when they were younger. Where
the Jennings got the 1our for the
baking was mystery the neighbor-
hood over. for when 1t came TO common
toll the Jennings assumed the airs OF
privileged class. III the times were
hurried it was no fault of theirs. II
the labor market was overstocked they
were not to blame. A medieval peace
rested upon their spirits.
They argued that II was not worth
while to raise fruit. because that didn't
pay, and the country was poor for
wheat and not good for corn. vege-
tables were well enough for garden
sauce for the family, but not worth
carting to market. So agriculture was
looked at askanee by them. AS for
the trades. who does not know that
the ranks are full? The professions
but the Jennings knew nothing about
the professions.
Physically they were all we'll devel-
oped, and though they moved slowly
they gave the impression OF remarka-
Die strength. Sometimes they had CIV
en- evidences OF this strength in wrest-
ling bouts at county fairs: and now
and then on wager at barn movings
or something of that sort.
The Jennings hired out reluctantly
to do small jobs about the neighbour
hood. and their laziness was a by
word. But the neighbors disliked the
Idea OF having any one starve to death.

In the advance sheets of the consul
lar reports for Oct. 81 Is an interest
ing paper on a steel railroad in Spain.
the contribution of our consul at VAL
encia. Horace Lee Washington The
two miles OF road between Valencia
and Grao sustain an average daily
traffic OF 5000 vehicles. Up to 1892
this roadway was constructed of flint
stone and cost about $500 annually
to keep up. The authorities in that
year determined to construct this steel
roadway to relieve the heavy traffic
on the central zone OF the road, and
SO successful was the scheme that the
repairs have cost only $3.50 a year
since. During the seven years that
the rails have been I'm position they
have shown a wear and tear amount
ing only to one decimal of mill
metre yearly, and have not required
repairing. AS the first cost of the
construction of the steel roadway was
only $1,000, it can be readily seen
what tremendous saving there has
been already since its construction.
There are many roads in this country
where this scheme could be adopted
with the probability of equally good
results.

Wears = Blanket and Practices Law.
Down In Indian Territory lives prob
ably the only Indian who speaks
French and German and who has been
the guest of the ezar of Russia and
other European royalties. In addi-
ton to these claims to distinction,
Chief Storm Cloud, who Is fu,!-
blooded Comanche, is said to be an
able lawyer, though he still wears his
blanket and in other respects conforms
to the customs of his tribe. When
Storm Cloud was a boy he happened
to form friendship with Arsayne
Beaujen, French-Indian trader who
had made much money in dealing with
the Indians. The old Frenchman was
about to return to France and offered
to take the young chief along as his
guest. The invitation was accepted
and Storm Cloud spent more than four
years in Europe During his long abb
sence he learned to speak French and
German, called on the car of Russia,
who was greatly interested in him. and
attended lectures In law and oratory
at the University of Oxford. He has
now settled down to the practice OF
law and has often defeated prominent
white lawyers in the courts OF the ter
ritory. His latest plan is to unite all
the surviving Indian tribes into one
great state, for which he will then ap-
ply for admission into the union.

SON Of SENATOR
JOINS BOERS
Frank Pettigrew Becomes
an Aide to BOtha.
NEWS CREATES
MUCH SURPRISE
Extent of Latest Surrender Was
Exaggerated.

London. Aug. The Lourenzo Marques
correspondent of the Daily Express says:
1.-The Beers are preparing to retreat
from Watervalboven.
Frank Pettigrew, son OF Senator Pet
tigrew, has arrived there and has Joined
Commandant General BOthaS staff.
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota has
long been known as an ardent champion
of the Beers and Ct the Filipinos, but
there was no inkling that he had con-
tributed a son to the Boer cause. The
announcement of young Pettigrew's ac-
ton is, therefore, a surprise which Is
scarcely welcome in England.
A dispatch received at the war Office
today from Lord Roberts materially
modifies yesterdays announcement of the
surrender OF 5000 rebels under General
Prinsloo. 1t now appears that Generals
Prinsloo, Villiers and Crowther surren-
dered with $50 men, ], 4S2 horses, s55 rifles
and a Krupp nine-pounder.
Some of the leaders IN more distant
parts of the hills hesitate TO come in on
the plea that they are independent of
General PrinSloO Lord Roberts adds
that he has directed General Hunter to
