AN ANCIENT FABLE.

1t sounds to me just like that novel
that came out the other day, founded
on a fable about a Monaghan named
Pom Tha Da Lon.I don't swallow a word
OF 1t. It's only been two years since
anybody landed in Mars alive. AS
Shakespeare says, The American peo-
Pile love to be gulled,' and they always
will"
"At any rate, we shan't dispute about
It, Carry. 1t won't be long before peo-
pie can get back from Mars safe, any.

And his friend said" Why, | CUES ia

"Well, | guess 1t wasn't"

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought of using anything else for Indi-
gestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
tion of undigested food, regulate the &C.
tion Of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the syteul, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches You

Philadelphia Held Up.

One of the boldest pieces of pub
lie robbery perhaps ever perpetrat-
ed, has just been con animated by
the political thief gang of Pennsyl-
vania, at the head of which Quay
has reigned for a number of years.
All the street railway franchises, or
right to build all street railways, on
the surface, under the city or ele-
waited, has been given to "a gang OF
political thieves by the city coun-
ellis, and the bill granting this theft
was signed in hot haste on Friday
night by Mayor Asnbridge, which
under the circumstances identifies
him as one of the bold robbers.
John Wanamaker offered to pay
so, 100000 for these franchises, and
put up ten per cent of the money
as guarantee of good faith. Mr..
Wanamaker said when he made
this offer that if these valuable
franchises were offered at public
sale they would bring much more.

Cecil Farmers Club.

The June meeting of the Cecil
Farmers Club was held at the
home of Mr.. J. p. Wilson on
Wednesday. The following mem
bers answered roll call: Prest., A.
j. Kitchener; cor. Sec, M. G. Reed
er; J. p. Wilson, Jos. T. Grove.
Alfred Kirk, Geo. w. Clifford, A.
R. Brown, Cecil E. Ewing, r. K.
Rawlings, Harry Maxwell, A. B.
McVey. The visitors present were
Calvin Brown and Lewis Oldham.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting had been read, Mr.. Will
son spoke on the matter of the pre-
servation of our timber lands as
suggested in the essay by Mr.. AL
fred Kirk at the May meeting. He
moved that steps be taken for leg
islation to exempt from taxation
ten acres of timber land to every
100 acres of cultivated land, for the
raising and preservation of timber.
The motion was discussed by all
present and passed unanimously.
The committee on free rural mail
delivery reported progress and
stated that things looked favorable
for the early establishment of the
proposed route.
The committee appointed to rep
resent the Club at a meeting held
at the Maryland Agricultural Sta
zion on June s, reported through
Messrs. Clifford and Reeder that 81
representatives were present and
that a thorough inspection was
made of the college buildings and
station. Two great deficiencies were
apparent, the lack of room to
accommodate the pupils with board
and lodging and the cramped con.
dition of the mechanical depart
ment. Forty seven applicants had
been unable to enter the school last
year on account of this lack of
&C ,ommodations. A petition was
drafted and passed, to be presented
to the legislature asking for an ap-
propriation.of $50, 900 for two years
to make these necessary enlarge
ments of the college buildings.
M. G. Reeder was appointed to
represent the Club at meeting in
Baltimore June d, for the purpose
of completing the formation of a
union Of farmers organizations of
the State.
Several interesting experiments
were recounted by the members,
among them being the use of nitrate
of soda which was found to be
wonderful crop grower.
A. B. McVey, r. X. Rawlings
and NJ. G. Reeder were appointed
a committee of inspection, after
which an adjournment was taken
for the discussion of an excellent
repast.
When the members again reas-
sembled, the host was called upon
for his essay and responded with
the following interesting sketch:

thoughts suggest themselves inspired by

the suggestion of one of our old members
will briefly give in lieu of an essay.
Not being gifted with descriptive pow.

the beauties and grandeur which we be-
hold at this season of the year on every

the waving grain giving promise oil

poets over the sere and yellow leaf oil

gests sadness and gloom, all admonition
of the chilly winds of autumn and oil

sentiment: Nature is at its best in early

life to see at this season beyond the mar.

not least, before leaving the metropolis, 1
must give some account of my visit to the

its history may be familiar to most of YOU,
it must be visited to be appreciated,
while will not attempt to describe in
any degree of detail. This fine estate,
the property of Gen. r. E Lee, on the
breaking out of the rebellion was tempo

the close of the war after litigation was
awarded to original heirs, and from them
purchased by the Government at cost of
$50, 900. 1t has been beautified and
