Mr. Bud DeLoach will work three
mules to his reaper and binder. We
believe this is the practice IN the West
ern states for farmers to work three
mules or horses to their reapers snd
binders. Ordinary years two acreeters"
would do, but this year grain is so
heavy that three will be better, so the
best farmers think at any rate.

The "If" In Checkers.

Analysing a game just played nt the
club by two checker experts seems to
be almost as fascinating recreation
to the spectators as any other branch
Of the game. Time and again have we
watched half dozen checkerists who
were busy suggesting this move TO
draw" or "that move to win" while
an equal number would be just as
eager to prove the unsoundness of the
lines In question BY the time both
sides are through, the position has been
thoroughly sifted and its intricacies
are apparent to ALL Many players,
however. are not very anxious to have
their good things" displayed and adj
vertised in this manner and generally
decline to answer leading" questions.

James Wyllle had just defeated in n
game. reset the pieces at certain po-

played so instead of my original move,

Trumbulls cradle was In Connectl-
cut. He came of the old Jonathan
Trumbull breed. AS young man he
went south to teach school, but he
liked it not and dipped into lawbooks.
AS soon as he was equal to his exam
ination he was called to the Georgia
bar, but he never paused to practice
there. He migrated to Illinois. then
the utter west and settled at Belle
vile, st. Clair county, in that part Of
the state known as Egypt.
There he at once took leading place
at the bar. He was always courtly, al
ways carefully polite, what one might
call bit cold, yet he had great sway
with the juries. He was clear, cogent
reasoner and had trick of admon-
ishing with his fore6nger. Sometimes
It would seem as IL that potent foretln-
ger wove q spell. l doubt not 1t has
brought many jury In its time to
Trumbull's side Of the question.
Such were the impressive looks OF
Trumbull that recall what Governor
Reynolds once said Of him as he closed
his argument In law case. Trumbull
was on the other side.
"And now. gentlemen" said Reyn-
olds as he prepared to close: 'T've an
swered his arguments, I've overturned
his statement of facts, I've undone the
fallacious law he has announced to
you; but, gentlemen, the man never
lived who can reply to his looks"-Chi'

A Gllmp.e 81 tho Japanese.

Mrs. Hugh lssaser the author. Wild
ow of an English diplomat and sister
OF Marion Crawford, says Of her life
In Japan, to which her husband was
minister from Great Britain:
The absence of snobblshness and kin
dred vices in Japan impresses itself
very clearly upon one. There are two
characteristics of the Japanese which
stand out very boldly. Home life is
paramount. and the possession Of mon-
ey is but lightly regarded. Any one
who would pretend to be richer than
he Is would be- calmly avoided as a
fool, Money is not spoken of, the alb
sence of 1t Is not apologized for. A
person living In poor way gives a
guest all he has to offer and'is not hui
inflated at having to show his pover-
ty. The rich man does not overwhelm
you with his riches. He shows you
one beautiful object from his collection
at a time In an empty room, only beau
tiful through its perfect proportions,
coloring and cleanliness. These people
travel through life so lightly weighted,
their requirements are SO few In the
material order, that they seem as inde-
pendent aa the swallows and fly where
we, weighted down by the commissarlat
for our artificial wants. can only creep.
But they hold invisible things very pre-
cious. Honor and self respect, the love
Of their children, the harmony OF the
family, the privileges of patriotism. the
commonwealth Of learning, these are
things for which they will sacrifice
much

The house In which Joan of Arc was
born Is still faithfully preserved In
pious veneration at Domremy, where 1t
is looked upon almost In the light of a
shrine. Passersby invariably cross
themselves aud utter prayer for pro.
lection as they go by.
Tile story goes that rich and eccen-
trio Engl!shman tried hard to buy the
place In 1887. 1t was at that time the
property Of farmer named Girardln.
The Engllshmen offered to let him
name his own price, but the old man
held arm. mo, no, no." he cried. "T
would not sell 1t even TO Frenchman,
much less TO foreigner and especially
an Engllshman. People here would call
me traitor and coward were | to
part with the house from which Joan
of Arc set out to serve France"
The Englishman convinced himself
that further bargaining was useless
and went his way.
Soon after an officer from the kings
household arrived In the village and
asked to speak with Girardin. Before
the whole village, assembled In the
street, he said; "Glrardin, the king has
learned that you have refused to sell
your house TO an Englishman. He de-
slres to reward you, but not In coin.
He knows that you no more want the
money Of the French than of the Eng
lish, therefore has no commanded me
to present you with the cross Of the Le'

and with Just enough accommodation
for himself. He changed from one 10

take refuge from his friends. 1t was
In order TO throw them all off the

Brown. Buttered watermeiou.

Colonel George w. Anderson, a man
of splendid genius and rare oratorical
gifts, was stumping for Greeley and
Brown down In southwest Missouri.
One night In the midst of his speech an
old fellow arose In the back of the
house and said:
Colonel Anderson, 10 It true that
Governor Brown was 30 drunk at that
Yale alumni dinner that, he buttered
his Watermelon
Colonel Anderson reared back on his
pastern joints, Strengthened himself to
his 8 feet and with a lions roar an
swered:
Yes, 1t 10 true that Governor Brown
buttered his watermelon at the Yale
alumni dinner, and am happy to in
form you that that Is the only way In
which watermelons are eaten in polite
society,""
Anderson's happy retort was greeted
with shout OF laughter and roar of
applause by his auditors. His inter-
rogator sat down discounted, and that
was the last ever heard of the story
which goes to demonstrate the value
Of Danton's famous motto: "I'andace!
