A MISSIONARY HEN.
She Was Brought from kOO-I<oo,
Chinn, and She Laid Eggs for
the Heathen.

Some ten years ago Capt. j. Clifford
Entwisle, now city clerk of Salem,
then master of a New York vessel sail
ing to China and Japan, brought home
from China a little hen. lie named the
bird koo-Koo, for the town whence
she came. He presented the hen to his
wife, and the bird gradually became u
pet of the house. She would lay her
eggs in the house.
Capt. and Mrs. Entwisle were in
terested in church and missionary
work. SO Mrs. Entwsle conceived the
idea of devoting the proceeds of the
eggs and chickens of Koo-koo to the
missionary cause, and for the seven
years little koo-koo lived all her
earnings went to convert Chinese
heathens, and good many dollars went
that way. The hen became as much of
pet as cat or dog. She would lay
her egg and then go into the kitchen
and cluck until someone went and
found the egg; then she would fly up
on the window sill and peck at the win
dow as sign that she wished to 90
outdoors.
Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was
stuffed and ustdlas an ornament. Mrs.
Entwisle wrote avery pretty little
story, founded on the history of Koo-
Koo, and sent it TO be read to the chill
dren in the PARKWAY land whence came
the hen. There it took so well that it
was translated into Chinese and read
to the little Chinese children in their
own language. 1t was the story of a
little hen called Koo-Koo, which UNDER
took TO support one little Chinese girl
that she might be educated 1t con-
tanned an account of meeting of the
children of Koo-Koo, quite numerous
tribe of various ages.
After hearing that story read. Chi
nese boy painted picture of the meet
ing of Koo-Koo and her descendants
to represent n scene described by Mrs.
Entwisle. 1t represents the old hen
and three younger ones. with eight or
ten very small chicks. The picture is
made on a sheet of brown paper, and
the hens are almost life-size for Chi
nese hens. 1t was sent to the mission
airy headquarters in Boston first, and
yesterday was sent down to Mrs. Emf
wisle, by whom it is highly priced

Thrce features of these 1899 elections
are. notceable--the fact that the more
important states, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Michigan particu-
larly, were strongly republicans; the
fact that, compared with the CORE
spending election of 1895, the year pre-
ceding the last presidential election,
the only state in which the republican
plurality was increased was Massachu-
sets, and the fact that, on the basis
of the electoral vote, the republicans
carried states having ia presidential
electors and democrats states hav-
ing % only.
More than one-half of the vote cast
as various" for other parties, pro-
bibitionist, socialist, middle-of-the-road
populist, golden rule, social demo-
crat and independent, was in favor

STAGE KISSES ARE GENUINE.
The Theater-Going Public Demands
Realism Even In Stage Love-
Making.

Embraces and kisses are rehearsed
with the EXTREMIST care. They must
have an impulsive manner. They must
look sufficiently fervid. 1t is curious
sight-that of two players who are to
express the ardent love which Shake
speare has written for his Romeo and
Juliet" but who at rehearsal, in mod
crn clothes and no accessories of
glamour, practice a kiss as mechanic
ally and unfeelingly as though il were
las it is then-utterly devoid of senti-
ment. There must be no hesitation nor
clumsiness. Romeo is not permitted to
decide whether to throw both arms
around his sweetheart or only one, or
which. Nor may Juliet be shy or for
ward, yielding or resisting, as she
chooses. The director will place their
arms for them IL they do not themselves
make picturesque exhibit Of tender
ness. And the kiss? Shall IL be deliv-
cred by the wooer on the lips Of the won,
or on brow, or cheek? That question Is
considered and settled. Are kisses on
the stage genuine? Well, not at re-
hearsals, except, maybe. once or twice
in order to show the effect fully. An
actress would resent real kiss at q re-
hearsal except when necessary. For the
satisfaction of natural curiosity on tina.
point 1t may be told right here that
most OF the kisses in the public per-
formances of plays are actual Kisses

Johnson of Kokomo, Ind.

without having a horse on
his place. He is known
throughout the section as
"the horseless farmer" He
raises corn, potatoes, celery,
melons and all kinds of veg
etables and does all the work
himself by hand. Even the
marketing is done without
the aid of a horse, as he
trundles his crop to town in
a Wheelbarrow, making an
average of three trips a day
all the year round. johnson
says be has an aversion to
horses, owing to the fact
that he was kicked by one

Niagara by Moonlight.

Niagara, like the sea, is ever changing,
never monotonous; masculine like Samp-
son in it's strength, and feminine like
Cleopatra in it's infinite variety. BY day
the waters roar and tumble and gather
themselves and leap tumultuously into
the awful gorge below; yet are so hecked
with foam and almost sportive in their
play above the falls, and so tinted by the
sunshine as they take their fearful
plunge, that there is an element of Joy
and beauty in the scene. Through the
darkness there is only that dull and sui
len thunder of the hurrying cataract,
and peering at midnight from the desc
late shore the sight is wierd and awful.
In winter there is perpetual struggle
between the convulsive waters and their
giant keeper, Frost, who seeks to bind
them in his icy chains. Now the bound
ing water, now the North King is con
queror. When the keeper triumphs
and when over large spaces his white
hands restrain the uneasy torrent, while
below rises the mighty ice-bridge upon
which the descending cataract beats its
impotent fury, the spectacle is wildly
beautiful and sublime. But at moon
light, touched with silver, lighted by a
thousand colored lamps at different parts
of the leaping water catch and reflect
new tints from the queen of heaven
Niagara loses it's awfulness and dread
solemnity and becomes place of en-
chantment, and we can almost heal
rising from it's waters the majestic song
of the gods, as in Wagner's incompatible
opera of the Rheingold they cross the
rainbow bridge leading to Walhalla!

Georgetown, KY, July N.-Ex Secrc-

stand in his own behalf today. His de
fense in his admission that he organized
body of mountaineers who went to
Frankfort on several occasions last win
ter, was for their influence with the state
contest board and the legislature, but
not to intimidate them. He entered a
denial of the damaging charges made
against him by Witnesses Culton, Col
den, Makes and others.
On the stand this afternoon he denied
that Witness Youtsey had the keys to
his Office on the day of the assassination
but said that there were two keys to the
Office, one of which was in possession of
Former Assistant Secretary of State w
j. Davidson and another in possession OF
Ben Rowe, Governor Taylor's colored
porter. Powers said neither of these
keys was ever out of his possession and
that he had his own key in his pocket in
Louisville on the day of the assassina-
tion. Davidson is in the far west, sup
posedly in the state of Washington, and
Rowe, the colored porter, is somewhere
in Indiana, probably at Anderson.

Considerable anxiety is felt owing to
the weakness of the monsoon. The stu
alton is serious and critical. No fodder
whatever is available. Sown crops are
in imminent danger as rain continues to
hold off. Fodder is scarce and cattle are
dying. Good crops are possible only in
case the monsoon improves. One-quar-
ter of the inhabitants of central provin-
ces are on relief. The total number
receiving relief is 6,266,OOO with in
complete Bombay figures. The COVER
nor of Bombay telegraphs that there
were 86O7 cholera cases in the famine

ish district were 6753 or 421.5 per 1000.

Up Against 1t.

The workingman who tries to elevate
himself by elevating his fellow toilers
generally finds himself up against it very
strong. Without refining his everyday
shop manner to some degree he will
never gain the confidence and respect of
the business community. If he does try
to improve himself along these lines,
break away from the gang and move
in manner calculated to do credit not
only to himself but his fellow toilers, he
is generally dubbed an upstart or a
ward politician. If none else find fault
with him, his fellow workman will in
time grow suspiciously tired of his sue
cess in life and Immediately proceed to
"show him up to the gang" in the
most ridiculous colors. Not only is
the avowed oppressor of the workingman
his enemy, but the average .workingman
is the workingman's enemy. Ignorance,
jealousy and personal prejudice on the
part of the workingmen themselves are
the main obstacles which poster the
workingmen's progress.-Memphis Labor
