brothers who lived among the Rocky
Mountains. They had two rifles, one

A contributor informs us that he has
a friend---a cousin, he thinks, of these
young men-who is a dead-shot and a
prize winner This friend also was liv-
ing in the Rocky Mountains, and was
placed in a position similar to the one
described, only worse. He was alone,
had only one rifle, one bullet, and one
keg of powder. With these he killed
thirty head of buffalo a day. This is
how he managed 1t.
He fired at a buffalo, ran round the
other side of it, and caught the bullet
in the barrel of his rife; fired at the
next buffalo; and ran round and caught
the bullet again. and so on until he
had exhausted all his powder He still
keeps the rifle and bullet as a me-
mento.

Hts companion started as one who

No, it is simply my wonderful pow

make these discoveries. Just one little
thing about this man tells me what
have disclosed to you concerning him.
He can't afford to hire a nurse girl,
and he is the father of little child.

One of his suspenders is fastened to
his trousers with a safety pin. You see,
it is plain enough. If his wife didn't
have to take care of the baby she
would sew a button on for him, and
without a baby in the house there
would be no loose safety pins for him
to get hold of, The fact that he once
ran needle under his thumbnail keeps
him from sewing the button on him.

Very MethOdfcnI.

The young woman was getting ready
to go for a short trip, says the Balti-
more News, and was holding forth to
ments, upon 1.-THE way to travel with
out luggage"
I'm very methodical, you know" she
remarked airily, land / do congratulate
myself that there are few feminine
creatures who have the science of pack
ing down to as fine a point as myself"
With this she wrapped her toothbrush
up in a bit of white paper. secured 1t
with elastic bands and tucked it in her
shirt waist. Then she put three or four
extra handkarchiefs in the crown of
her hat, donned it and pronounced her
self ready to depart.
Il feel as If l had forgotten some
thing" she said, pausing at the door
to give a backward glance into the
room.
Your purse?" asked one solicitous
mo, have that" replied the young
woman.
A book to read on the train ?" surely
not your box of chocolates?"s sfNot
your veil?" chorused the others.
No, the woman had those, but all
the way down to the trolley car she
was oppressed with the idea that, de-
spite her boosted experience as a tray-
eler, she had left something behind. AS
soon as she entered the station and
found that she had but three minutes
in which to make her train, she remem-
bered what it was.
I've forgotten my ticket!" she
gasped.
Now you haven't?" asked the man
with her disgustedly.
Il have, indeed" she walled. II

any trouble, and now I've come and
forgotten it, and I'll have to take the
next train, which will put me in my
town at midnight, and l think it's a
great pity that some one couldn't have
thought enough to ask me whether I
had it or not, for goodness knows it's
more important than chocolates and
everybody remembered them. 1 hope

ter
Then she paused for breath, and, as
the man only laughed immoderately,
she rode all the way home in scornful
silence But when she went to the sta
ton the next time she had her ticket
clasped firmly in one hand and she
yielded it reluctantly even to the gate
keeper.

NAVAL STORES INDUSTRY.

1t looks now as If the naval stores
manufacturers would get together
upon a plan for conducting Weir in
dustry that would leave them a. fair
margin of profit. 1t was mainly
through the efforts of the Morning
News that the great meeting of manu-
facturers and factors was held at
Jacksonville this week. Manufactur-
ers in Florida and this state began
writing to the Morning News setting
forth the necessity for the manufac-
turers to get together and decide upon
a policy for carrying on the naval
stores industry. because, as things
were going. very little, If any. money
was being made by them. The Morn
ing News took the matter up and adj
vocated the proposed meeting. A pre-
liminary meeting was held a month or
so ago. The meeting held this week
was productive of excellent results.
1t was agreed that for the coming
year only so per cent. of as many
boxes as were cut last year shall be
cut. A scale of wages was also agreed
upon.
II is estimated that the manufac-
turers who attended the meeting rep
resented fully 60 per cent. of the out
put of naval stores in this state and
Florida. The agreement to which at
tention has been called, however, win
not be binding until two-thirds of all
the manufacturers in the two forego-
ing states have accepted it, There
ought to be no trouble in getting that
proportion of the manufacturers to ac-
cept 1T. 1t is for the good of all who
are interested In the naval stores in
dustry. If things continue TO go on as
they are now going it will not be
many years before the industry will be
a thing of the past in all of this Sec
ton of the world. The forests are be-
ing worked out rapidly and the manu-
facturers are getting very little for
their investment and labor.
If reason is permitted to control the
industry can be made profitable for
many years. And it seems to us that
Prof. Herty should be given every pos
sible encouragement. He is on the
right line. The pine forests can be
made great deal more productive
than they are at present-that is, they
can be made to yield much more tur-
pentine. When the agreement goes
into force every manufacturer should
make 1t his business to see that 1t is
lived up to. II the impression gets
abroad that a manufacturer here and
there is violating the agreement it win
not be long before no regard whatever
will be paid to it. A better day is
evidently dawning for the naval stores

A LITTLE TIREsOME.

Such talk as the following from the
Philadelphia Times is getting to be a
little tiresome: ''The newspapers of the
South deserve the highest credit for the
stand they are taking on the question
of lynching. With a few exceptions
they demand that a stop be put to the
horrors which have disgraced their sec
ton of the country. They insist that
the honor of the South is at stake, and
that the recent burnings and lynchings
are doing irreparable injury"
Nothing seems to delight the North
so much as to assume that she occupies
a higher plane in civilization and to
lecture the South for her shortcomings,
or to praise her when there seems to be
an opportunity for doing So.
We cannot see that the newspapers
of the South deserve any credit for
taking stand against lynchings. 1t is
their duty to do so, and, as a rule, they
are always found doing their duty
doing what in their Judgment is right.
Strange as it may seem, the Northern
papers never seem TO realize that there
is just as great tendency to lynching
in the North as there is in the South
that is the lynching of negroes. Wasn't
a negro burned alb the stake in Leaven-
worth, KAN, few months ago?
We undertake to assert that IL the
negro population of the South were In
the North there would be just as many
lynchings in that section as there are
now in the South. There would be Just
as many there now If there We're very
large population there of race against
which there was prejudice similar to
that which exists, North and South,
against the negro. Therefore there is
no excuse for the continual lecturing of
the South in respect to lynchings by
were in position to lecture the South
there would be some excuse for doing
so. AS a matter of fact the Northern
people are more cruel to the negro than
the people OF the South. They deny
him chance to earn a living and treat
a crust of bread to allay his hunger.
That at least is the testimony of Prof.
James II. Torbert, assistant principal
Of the Fort Valley, Ga. High and In
dustrial School, an institution for col
ored youth. The professor, it seems,
makes tour through the North every
summer for the purposes of raising
money for the school with which he is
connected. During the summer just
passed he was in the Adirondack re-
gion. The account of his experiences
there, which he gave the New York
Sun. ought to convince any one that If
there were a big negro population in
the North. as there is in the South.
there would be as many. IL not more,
lynchings there than there are in the
South.

WAS THERE A PLoTs

The evidence is not conclusive by any
means that there was plot to kill the
President. Senator Hanna believes
there was, and that Czolgosz was the
| instrument chosen to carry into effect
| the will of one or more groups of an
archists.
He bases his belief on a report, made
to the government by the secret SER
vice two years ago, that there was a
gigantic plot by the Paterson, N. J.,
group of anarchists to remove" six
heads of nations. The six were the
Gear. Emperor William, Prince of
Wales, now King Edward. the Empress
of Austria, King Humbert and Presi-
dent Mckinley.
This report, which was obtained by
detective who spoke Italian like
native, was shown TO the President. He
laughed at it. He could not be made
to believe that any one, even anarch-
lists, harbored ill-will against him.
But look at the recordi King Hum
bert assassinated, Empress of Austria
assassinated, and attempts made on
NhN A'fSo u tAAG VI w dlt-SS the
Emperor William and President Nc
Kinley! 1t may be that the attempt
on the life of Emperor William was not
by an anarchist. but 1t is not absolute
ly certain that his assailant was not
an anarchist. Only one of the foregoing
list has escaped death or an attack on
his life. 1t does seem therefore as IL
Senator Hanna has some foundation
for his belief that the President was the
victim of a plot.
There is an evident determination to
mete out to Czolgosz, the Presidents
assailant, all the punishment the law
will permit. The law has been looked
up with the view of finding out wheth-
er or not he can be tried under a fed
eral statute. The punishment for his
crime is the same under the United
States law and the law of the State of
New York, but, under the New York
law, very considerable part of the
sentence is RENTED for good behavior.
Such is not the case under the federal
statute. There win of course be no diff
ficulty in convicting Czolgosz. The
public would be better pleased If a Sc
verer punishment could be inflicted ub-
on him than 10 years in the peniten-
tiary

A notable circumstance in connec-
ton with the injury to the President
is the effect of the shock upon his
wife. A Buffalo dispatch to the Herald
of Tuesday says: she is stronger to-
day than she has been before in years.
and the physicians are all of the opin-
ion that the tragedy has aroused her
from that lethargy which has been the
prime cause of her Illness" 1t is a
well known fact that shock is often
attended with remarkable PATHOLOGY
cal results, sometimes unseating nerv-
Gus diseases that have defied the most
careful and intelligent treatment. 1t
would be a remarkable and gratifying
circumstance If the Buffalo tragedy
should have the effect of restoring Mrs.
McKinley's health.
