ing, after the nights work was COM
pleted and it was too late to send any
further news, Forest accompanied an
other reporter for the press association
he represented, by the name Of Tom
Dawson, to that somewhat famed res
taurant In St. Louis run by Tony Faust.
Entering the place, he saw his friend
who represented the opposition associ-
alton who Gid not get the platform,
seated at table with a number of
newspaper men.
Tom" said Forest, 'after we have
supplied the inner man, introduce me
to that fellow"
Certainly" answered Dawson, who
was the came reporter who had been
an amused spectator at the. .'guyinp''
process OF a few hours before. He took
Forest to the table at which this re-
porter sat, and said:
SC, allow me to introduce you to
Mr.. Forest, of our Chicago Office"
II am happy" began c.. Then
he stopped for a moment, and then al
most shrieked:
"Ain't you that Kansas populistic
typewriter 2"
$50 have been told"
The following forenoon Forest re-
ceiyed six congratulatory kilograms
from the Chicago Office. The first was
from the general manager Of the asso-
citation, and read:
"You have done great work in secur-
ing the platform. personally con-
graduate you, and have ordered that
your account be credited with 5000 as

Women pin from left to right, men

A Hint to Farmers.

The average vitality of cotton
seeds is 90 per cent, that is say,
93 out of every 100 seeds will
germinate this year, however,
according to experiments by the
agricultural department at Wash
ington with seed of last years
crop, only IS per cent of the
seeds have enough vitality to
come up; SO if you want good
stand Of cotton this year, you
must use more seed than usual by
say 20 per cent.

Middleton Griffin, the Is wear

make his escape last week when
the gang of conviCts made their
desperate assault upon Guard
Harting, resulting in the killing
of one, the wounding OF another
and the escape of griffin alone,

the capture reads almost like
fiction, and it was not Grifin's S
determination to get away that
was lacking. He will doubtless
arrive at the prison today, if he
does not cut his way out of the
Newberry Jail.

convict was effected by M james

holders were deafened by the tremendous
cannonade.
A. midnight the British infantry advance,
OF which the earlier stages hud been re-
ported in the afternoon. continued on two
OF the kopies east OF Spion Kop. The OBJ
ject Of the British was to gain the SUBMITS
OF these two koPjes In order to outflapk the
bur2hers who were attacking the trenches.
Many were shot down on top OF theSkopies,
but the British we're so numerous mat the
gaps were filed automatically.
They reached the summit Of thessecond

MaXims were belching flume on both sides,
while wall Of fame fromthe Boer Mausers
held back the British centre. Under such
pressure they gradually gave way, broke
and abandoned their position.
