French and Scandinavian-and men
that have come from Europe them
selves, or whose ancestors have conc
l,nhcr and settled here, finding them
selves our equals in all things. If they
look back to this history to trace their
connections with these days by blood
they find they have none They cannot
carry themselves back into that glorious
epoch and make themselves feel that
they are part OF us, but when they look
through that old Declaration OF 1ndc-
pcndcncc they find that those old men
say that Eve hold these truths to be
self evident, that is that all men arc
created equal and then they feel that
the moral sentiment taught in that day
evidences their relation to those men,
that is the father Of all moral principle
in them and that they have a right TO
claim it as though they were blood Of
the blood and flesh OF the flesh OF the
men who wrote the declaration that
links the hearts OF patriotic and liberty
loving men together, that will link those
patriotic hearts as long as the love OF
freedom exists in the minds OF men
throughout the world.

in his plain and simple way he cx-

believing in that Declaration OF Indc-
pendence he becomes one OF us and can

in that high principle. (Great applause.)

KIND LITTLE DOG.
II Played the Role OF Good Samaritan

AdmigatiOn.

A butcher of Wassahickon, Pa, has
a little dog that is SO clever that it is
sent every morning to the bakers
with basket for dozen rolls. The
baker always gives it 13, but there
came day when the dog only brought
home 10. Next day and the next it
continued to be a roll short. The
baker declared that he had never
placed less than 13 in the basket. 1t
was determined to watch the dog.
1t got its basket filled at the bakers,
and then set out for home in round
about way. 1t entered the yard of a

be heard three or four miles. 1t is not q
roar or a howl, but more like terrific
human yell, prolonged into a scream.
He never found out whether this call
was intended to frighten an intruder
or TO collect his family for n migration.
1t was always sounded between two
and four in the morning, and If the
animal happened TO be close to his cage
it made his blood run cold.
Goril.as walk on all fours and have
not ferocious look. They are good
climbers, but spend most of the time
on the ground. The chimpanzees, on
the other hand, live mostly in trees.
They climb very much like the native
negroes in the bush, using both hands
and feet. The gorilla is not able to
stand straight on his hind legs, since
the knees turn outward, but he sits on
log or on the ground like human be-
ing-often on one foot. In captivity
he drinks from cup ike man, while
the chimpanzee puts his mouth in the
basin. The chimpanZee is sociable and
friendly and initiates his captors, but
the gorilla is selfish and surly.

numerous monkeys. In Mauritius,
which is the scene of paul and Vir-
ginia," mischievous jockos come at
night to the sugar plantations. Their
favorite time of depreciation is Sunday
afternoon, when the workmen are on
for holiday Then the old sentinel
monkeys steal up to see if the way is
clear. With a sort of ehattering chlr-
rup one calls the others, who tumble
up the bank from the ravine. Such
games as they play, those young ones,
but the sentinels never relax their Wig
ilance, and if n harmless little lap dog
| toddles down from the veranda of the
Plantation house each mother monkey
grabs her own special baby by the leg,
throws it over her shoulder and the
whole tribe vanishes before one could
say Jack Robinson" The sentinels
cover their retreat and finally retire in
good order like brave soldiers.
| Pet monkeys are notoriously jealous
and make life a burden to any other
pet animal in family. They will even
fight little dogs, and although they are
not strong, their agility in getting out
of the way and jumping on the dogs
back makes them antagonists not to be
| despised.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Thinning out all inferior birds
should be done with an unsparing
hand.
All houses that require repair should
now be attended to. See that all roofs
are rain-proof.
1t is not hard matter to keep the
poultry house absolutely clean, if it is
cleaned daily.
Nearly all cases of chicken cholera
are caused by filth, improper food or
lack of care. 1t is disease of the
bowels.
Before the fall rains set in is a good
time for storing under shelter good
supply of dry dust to be used under
roosts and in the dust box during the
winter.
All runs bare of grass would be all
the better for turning over once a
month. Before doing so, il Is well to
scatter over good sprinkling of quick
lime.
Never keep cockrell simply because
he is pretty or tame. Unless he can be
used to good advantage kill or market
him. New blood should be infused
every year if the best results are Sc.

origin of "Dixie's Land,

The original song, "DiXie's Land"
was composed in 1859 by Daniel EN-
NETT as "walk.around" for Bryant's
minstrels. Mr.. Emmett frequently
heard the performers in circus make
the remark: 81 wish / was in Dixie"
as soon as the northern climate be-
gan to be too severe for the tent life
which they followed. This expression
suggested the song: "Dixie's Land"
1t made a hit at once in New York,
and was speedily carried to all parts
of the union by numerous bands of
wandering minstrels. In the fall of
1860 Mrs. John Wood sang it in New
Orleans in the burlesque of "Poca-
hontas," and before week had passed
the whole city had taken it up. A
New Orleans publisher saw possibili-
ties in the music, and without the au-
thority of the composer had the air
harmonized and rearranged, issuing it
with words embodying the strong
southern feeling then existing in New
0rleans.-Ladies' Home Journal.

SOME CENSUS LESSONS.
ful Decrease in the Number OF
Farm Mortgages.

The statisticians at Washington are
busy analyzing returns of the small
army of federal census takers, and be-
fore very long the public should be
able to know definitely some of the
results. The growth in population in
some of the big cities has been al
ready announced, showing splendid
gains during the last ten years. For
a long time there was a decided drift
of the people from country to city.
But in recent years hints have not
been wanting that this movement has
been checked. In fact, in some of the
older country districts of the middle
and eastern states n decided trend
toward turning to country life may
be noted. The federal census should
clear up all these uncertainties, how
ever, along with many other subjects
of dispute. One thing sure, it will
afford a good idea of the splendid
growth of the agricultural interests
of the country. We believe it will
bring to the front so positively the
bettered conditions of farmers as a
class in the way of smaller average
Indebtedness and decreased number of
mortgaged farms that it will be less
difficult in the future to borrow
money for legitimate farm enter
prises. Furthermore, these facts
should impress country banks and
city capitalists with the splendid Sc
curity they have in loaning money on
farm property, this resulting in a
lower rate of interest. There is
something radically wrong when
farmers are obliged to pay six to
nine per cent, while city people and
corporations can borrow money on no
better security at three and one-half
and four per cent.-Farm and Home.

TALK ABOUT MONKEYS.
Search for the So-Cniled "Misning
Link" to he Resumed by an Old
German Scientist.

Prof. Ernst Hackel, the great Ger
man naturalist of the University Of
Jena, is going to make once more the
long journey to the Celebes and Java.
There he will spend next winter study
ing the fossils of apes that became ex-
tinct thousands of years ago. He hopes
to be able to show that this ape is the
famous missing link" in nature be-
tween monkeys and human beings.
Ever since Darwin wrote "The Descent
of Man." men of science have been in
terested in tracing every step in the
order of creation of animal life from
the sponge to man. There has always
been gap between the highest order
of monkey, which is the chimpanzee,
and the lowest form of human beings.
1t is believed by Prof. Hackel that there
was once a creature that was more like
man than any now living, and that the
petrified remains of it have been found
in the East Indies.
This is long journey for an old man
to take, and it may end the life of the
German naturalist. who is near 20 years
of age; but men of science, says the
Little Chronicle, are always ready to
face hardships and dangers in their
search for truth. Only few years ago
Mr.. Walter Savage Landor penetrated
the land of the Grand Llama on the
table,and of Thibet only to be tortured
and nearly blinded by the inhabitants.
Mr.. r. L. Garner, the naturalist, who
claims to have discovered that monkeys
have a language, once lived in steel
cage in the heart of West Africa for
three months in order to study the
gorilla in its kingdom. In those wild
so.itudes this giant ape is sole mon
arch. and no other animal disputes his
right to rule.

STORY OF TWO BOYS.
One Succeeded in Everything He I'm
dertooIS, the Other Remained
Poor All His Life.

OF two boys with the same advantages
and equally good training, one will
succeed in life, while the other, with
out being bad, 'never amounts to any
thing" as the saying goes. Perhaps
the following anecdote will explain
something of the disparity in results:
y nurseryman left home for a few
days on 3 business thip. 1t was rainy
weather, and not a season for sales, but
customer did arrive from distance,
tied up his horse, and went into the
kitchen, where two boys were crack
ing nuts.
as Mr. Barnes at home ?" he asked.
NO" said 10, the eldest, hammering
at nut.
when will he be back?"
"Dunno. Mebbe not for a week"
The youngest boy, Jim, promptly
jumped up and followed the irritated
stranger out of doors.
The men are not here" he said, in a
bright and courteous manner, but l
can show you the stock"
The stranger was conciliated, and
followed Jim through the nursery, eX-
aiming lne trees. anu Itlb MS OINtI'
You have sold the largest bill OF
the season. jim" said his father, great
ly pleased, on his return.
4 few years afterward these two
boys We're left by the fathers death
with but 5000 apiece. Joe bought an
acre or two near home, and, although
he worked hard, he is still poor, dis
contented man.
Jim bought an emigrant's ticket TO
Colorado, hired out as n cattle driver
for couple of years, and with his
wages bought land at dollar and n
quarter an acre, built himself house
and married. To-day his herds are num-
bered by the thousand, his land has
been cut up in town lots, and he is one
of the wealthy men of the Centennial
state.
II might have done like jim" said
Joe, resentfully. "if I'd only thought in
time. There's as good stuff in me as
him"
Joe was right. He had the same stuff
in him, but it was not developed. The
quick, wide-awake energy which
causes a boy to act promptly and bold
ly in an emergency is partly natural
but it can be inculcated by parents, and
II is worth more than any gift of ma
