Thanksgiving Mince Meat.

preparation usually being the mince-

Dora had just put the turkey in the

The father had gone out to search
for some work that he might procure
some bread end fuel that they sorely

The Baby Raboon.

There once was a beautiful baby baboon
Who "ode all around in Il red balloon.
He sighed and he sang and he scowled
and he sncezed,
And he prettily prattled whenever he
pleased.
He sailed as high
As the SUMMER sky,
And then he said, Il don't see why
| can't sail right up into the moon.
I think III start this afternoon;
With a strong south wind I'll get there
Soon."
And he did. That adventurous baby
baboon.

A Gigantic Tunnel.

ST. PAUL, MINI, September 20
President Hill of the Great Northern has
received from Chief Engineer Stevens a
telegram stating that the east and west
crews in the immense bore under the
Cascade mountains have met. The two
forces working from opposite ends in the
big tunnel brought the two ends together
with hardly the variation Of an inch.
Now that tho tremendous task of boring
ont over two miles of granite has been
accomplished the work of laying the
tracks is comparatively insignificant.
The tunnel will now be rushed to Il
speedy conclusion. 1t is estimated that
the tunnel when completed will cost
S5,OO0,O00. Ono thousand men have
been engaged nearly three years in its
completion and all records OF tunnoling
have been broken. The average progress
was from Is to 20 feet per day. The
tunnel will abolish the "switchback"
over the Cascades, which in itself has
always been looked upon as a magnili-
cent engineering achievement.

The Anti-Lynching Law.

The anti-lynching law of this State,
making the county responsible for dam
ages to tho family of the victim, has re-
ccivcd another black, says the Charles
ton correspondent Of the State. The
correspondent adds: On January Ith,
1897 Isaac Brown, negro, was found
hanging to tho railroad crossing at Still
ton, Orangcburg county, his neck broken
and his body riddlcd with bullets.
Browns father brought suit against the
county for damages last year, but the
jury promptly brought in a verdict for
tho county. The verdict was set aside
by Judge Gage and another trial Of the
case has been had and another verdict
rendered for the county of Orangcburg.
The defense offered no testimony, rely
ing upon the failure to prove lynching,
which they contcndcd required the oc-
currcncc of a mob or multitude of per-
sons. Buchanan, the Presiding Judge,
charged the jury that a lynching might
be committed by a mob or by any person
or persons, but the charge appears to
have had no effect ON the jury. a mo-
ton for new trial will be made, but
this second verdict shows conclusivcly
that the anti-lynchng provision in the
constitution of 1898 is dead failure SO
far as it provides damages for the heirs
Of the victim, though it is admitted t..at
in its primary object, the suppression of
lynching in this State, it has been largely
successful.
