Queer Job. For conxres.men.

Recently an Illinois congressman,
while at home, received letter from
one of his constituents who had secur-
ed position in Washington. The Witt
er was not at all modest In his ee-
quest, but simply asked the congress
man to go to the house of ibis constf-
Suent. get an old pair of shoes and mail
them to him under the congressional
frank.
The member was startled at the $u-
dacity Of his correspondent. and. ILLS
needless to say. he did not comply With
the request. The same member re
ceived letter from on. of his conSit-
uents asking him to secure the voter
position as bartender in this city. As
this Is not in line with the work Of a
congressman and as Uncle Sam does
not employ any one in this capacity.
this request was also turned DOWN.
One morning the same member was
amused by finding in his mail letter
from one of his constituents who IA in
love with young woman residing in
the statesman's district. The writer
said he knew the member had conid-
cradle influence and modestly request
ed him to exert it to bring about a
marriage between the two persons In
question. He went on to explain how
much property the young woman own
ed, how charming and beautiful She
is and the intensity of the love he lad
for her. While the congressman was
willing to favor his constituent. he did
not know just how to go about it. as he
is not running matrimonial bureau.-

She Got the Pepper.

A certain well to do housekeeper in
West Chester discovered one day last
week that there wasn't grain of pep
per in the house. She always had her
groceries sent to her from big Fhila-
delphia firm. but on occasions like this
she was in the habit of patronizing a.
West. Chester grocer whose store was
near by. Therefore she condescended
to call up the local grocer by telephone
and place with him her order for q
quarter of pound of pepper. to be de-
livered at once. The grocer is a pa
tient man, and he talked very politely
over the telephone. Afterward. how
ever. he swore; then he laughed. He
laughed loud and long and remarked
to himself occasionally. Good idea!
That's rich!'
About half an hour later the we'll to
do housekeeper was somewhat SUR
prised to see great. clumsy dray drive
up before her door and back up to the
curb. In the middle of the dray was
a tiny package done up in yellow pa
per. The drayman. after taking partic-
ular care to get his huge wagon in
proper position, adjusted the board
from the tailboard to the house steps
and. with thick stanchion, proceeded
to slowly pry the tiny package off the
dray. With infinite care he rolled it
on to the step. the amazed housekeeper
meanwhile watching the proceeding
from the doorway. Then the drayman
soberly presented the grocer's bin for
the quarter pound Of pepper and drove
off.-Philadelphia Record.

Didn't Hurry the Train.

A railroad conductor on the after
noon train Of the Yazoo and Mississip-
pi Valley road was staggered one day
by the request Of very plainly dress
ed woman.
She approached the conductor while
the train was waiting at the South
Memphis station and said:
Mister, wish you would git an
early start this evening. for I've got a
heap of work to do when get home.
We just moved down into the delta
from 'Alabam,' and we amt got things
Strengthened around yet. 1t will be a
big accommodation to me if git down
home before shutdown"
The conductor, polite as conductors
usually are, promised the woman he
would do the best he could, but the
train left on the regular schedule
time Memphis Scimitar.

white Men and Thunder.

In paper read before the British
association Captain Welby described a
journey in King Menelek's dominions
He stated that in the Abyssinians
there lay mint of pluck, energy and
intelligence which was merely waiting
for development.
He noticed that those tribes who re-
lied for food solely on milk and meat
were of finer physique than those ia
vored with cereals as well, while 9th
ers dependent solely on fish and herbs
were, as rule, miserable individuals.
He came across one tribe who held
the notion that whenever there was
thunder a white man was born, and
hence 1t was thought that he must be
able to bring rain with him. The cap
tain exhibited photos Of eAbyssinian
giants over seven feet In height.

Boiling Maple Sap.

Boiling maple sap is always live
question with sugar makers. Just
what constitutes the best equipment is
hard to say. Two requisites are neces-
sary-frst, a large boiling capacity
with a minimum amount of fuel and,
second. ease Of handling and cleaning.
These are fairly well combined in the
modern evaporation, though, everything
considered, am still inclined to favor
the iron pan and heater when properly
constructed, says a New England
Homestead correspondent.

Barley as q Money Crop.

We do not have much opinion of bar
ley as money crop. except perhaps In
in the arid regions under irrigation and
in California. There they can cure the
crop without the slightest discolora-
ton, and 1t can be sold at the top of the
market for brewing purposes. but fur
Their east very few growers succeed in
curing it in such way that it will sell
for anything else than feeding barley
and at a much lower price. The farm
average price in Kansas was 40 cents
in 1894, % cents in 1895. % cents in
1896. 25 cents in 1897 and q cents in
1898. Two bushels of barley per acre is
the amount usually sown. sometimes a
little less; rarely more.-Iowa Home

Regulating the Hotbed.

The most common danger in growing
plants in hotbeds is that they will
damp OFF, or wilt when exposed to
sudden changes Of temperature. Hence
having it too hot when the outside
weather is cold is more dangerous than
to keep it at 40 to so degrees. which is
sufficient to insure against freezing. 1t
does not require absolute freezing to
kill most plants that have been grown
under very high temperature. Hence
on sunny days the sash should be rails
ed little, so as to let some fresh air
come in. This Is always necessary for
some time before the plants are to be
set in open ground. But. considering
the danger Of "damping off, or dying
from sudden chill in the hotbed. this
letting in fresh air to make the plants
more hardy had better be continued
from the time the plants are up If the
outside weather is not too cold. says
American Cultivator.

r. SCOTT FOR COUNTY COMMITS
SIONER.

Many citizens of Cary Township and
the western part of the county, think
there should be one of the five commits
sioners from this section. Mr.. C. r.
Scott has had several years of experience
in this capacity while a citizen of Chat
ham county. For the last several years
he and rs son have done business in
Cary, at which place he now lives. There
is no truer, sounder man and Democrat
than Rom Scott. If Pearson is nominated
for the Legislature from White Oak, as
we hope he will be, we think that this
section should have this representative
on the Board of County Commissioners.
We shall insist that one of the Board
be man west of Raleigh. 1t seems to
us that at least three of the old Board
should be retained. The North, East,
South and West should all have a man on
this Board. Then by all means retain

Mrs. j. w. Pennell. He was twenty
six years of age and was young

deared him to all who knew him.
BY profession he was telegraph OPP
orator, having for several years been
in the service of the Central of Geor-

was forced to give up his position
and returned to this place a few
months ago with Il hope that his con-
