DEPEw ON PIE.
It's Influence Upon the Life of the
New Highlander.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is a well-known fact that any
hardy New England boy who has
been brought up in anything like a
proper manner has adjusted his diges-
tive machinery to from seven to eleven
kinds of pie, and on each Thanksgiv-
ing day he is supposed to try a few
more, as we'll as different samples of
the same kinds made by the various
aunts and grandmothers.
The peculiar sort of indigestion pro-
duced by this pie diet has an energiz-
ing influence on his morals, his nervous
system and his mental processes. 1t
is an influence peculiar to New Eng
land and traceable directly to crusty
pie. As rule, the victim cannot stay
at home. This is one of the symptoms
of the malady. At an early period of
his life, when the pies of perhaps nine
teen holiday seasons have worked up-
on him. he emigrates to a new country.
He speedily and almost invariably be-
comes the leading spirit of the place in
which he locates.
1t is said that New Englanders have
VIGOROUSLY dominated all of the very
new states of the far West. and.
though few in numbers compared to
the total population. have written the
constitution of these states and made
the laws. They have also become lead
ers in all public improvements as we'll
as the most successful business men.
Having got rich, in later middle life
these conduering. pie-fed New Eng
land emigrants return to their boyhood
homes for the purpose of having one
good, grand feast Of pie. They then dis
cover that luxury has weakened their
powers. They have become degener-
ates.
Some die on the way back home
some resort to dyspesia tablets and di-
gestive and nutritlve patent medicines
which may give relief. and the rest
keep prosperous the various SANTA
RUINS.
1t may be suggested that the sani
tary pie will better the morals of the
community by making men more am
liable. To that ] would say that there
is little connection between pie and
morals. Seven kinds of pie are never
tried by a man of mature age who has
not been brought up on II. and so no
such person exists to use language
over the results.
While a boy brought UP on nil kinds

Do birds think?
l have heard this question often ask
ed by people who make a study of the
habits of birds. Some time since there
stood in front of the house where 1
then lived and not more than thirty
feet from the house porch two soft ma
pie trees. One on the right and one on
the left of the board walk, running to
the street walk. The one on the right
was large, with long limbs trimmed

The other was a smaller tree, with
dense foliage, so thick that the eye
could penetrate it only here and there.
In this dense thicket of leaves a num-
Der of English sparrows had built their
nests of strings, grass, feathers and
everything else these Industrious and

which they kept up an almost incessant
and rasping chirrup.

Name Seems Familiar, but He
Doesn't Live In Corsicana.
From the Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald,
Sept. 6.
Roger Q. Mills, father of the famous
Mills Tariff bill and for twenty-six
years one of the most prominent fig
ures in the House of Representatives
and Senate of the United States, is a
guest at the Hotel Westminster. With
Mrs. Mills and their daughter, Mrs. L.
ID. Wood of San Diego, Senator Mills
arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
He and Mrs. Mills came from their
home in Corsicana, Tex, two months
ago to visit their daughter in San
Diego. While in the Southern city Mrs.
Mills was taken seriously ill, and is
still in bad health. Her sickness is now
taking them home again,an they will
leave tonight for Texas. Mrs. Wood
will accompany them. so that she may
care for her mother during the tedious
trip of 1000 miles.
When Senator Mills retired from the
Senate in March 1899, he also retired
from public life and from all interest
in politics. For forty years he he'd
been a potent factor in the Democratic
politics of the South, and as long ago
as 1872 won for himself the leadership
and was sent to Congress to represent
his district. He was continued in the
lower house until 1892, when he was adj
vanced to the Senate. and there was
recognized as one Of the most eminent
members of that body. His chief dis

Sister and Invalid.
Her sisters health, beginning to de-
cline, and evidences of pulmonary con-
sumption appearing, Mrs. Adams de-
voted herself to the invalid's room with
unceasing watchfulness and self-for-
getful care. Eliza Flower died in
1S47. Mrs. Adams never recovered
from the shock of the separation. Her
religious aspirations, always strong,
seemed now to receive a heavenly inn
pulse. Her health gradually declined,
and in 1S49. two years after her sis
ter's death, she too peacefully fell
asleep.
In her hymn she gives expression to
the following jubilant expectation:
Or. If on joyful wing.
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon and stars forgot,
Upward I fly.
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

This hope seems to have been al

seems to have been written in the
same spirit as Nearer, My God, to

Alike. they're needful to the flower;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment;
AS comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father. Thy will, not mine, be done.
Oh, ne'er will at life repine
Enough that Thou hast made it mine;
Where falls the shadow cold in death,
1 yet will sing with fearless breath,
AS comes to me or shade or sun,
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
The last stanZa seems prophetic,
when we recall the song of praise that
trembled on her dying lips.

NEW KIND OF COTTON.

Mr.. j. P. Brown, of near Lyons, has
what appears to be very prolific kind
of cotton, the seed of which he got in
a peculiar way. Last spring, one year
ago. his wife sent to New York for
some flower seeds. Among the seed
was one bearing a long botanic. name,
= which l do not remember. Anyhow, she
planted 1t in her flower garden, and in
stead of a flower came up a cotton
plant, different from any before seen
- in this country. The stalk, branches.
leaves and bolls are a deep purple. The
stalks are large and heavy frufted.
From the stalk which grew in the
flower garden last summer he gather
ed six pounds of a fine quality of green
seed cotton. From this seed he saved
enough to plant four rows about one
and one-half acres long. This cotton
he will save the seed from and by an
other year he will be able to put some
of it on the market

From the philadelphia Record.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Theodore
Roosevelt. President of the United
States, furnished an excellent oppor-
tunity for the study of his personal
characteristics at 3 o'clock this after
noon. as he stood in the doorway OF
the Wilcox residence holding open with
one hand the screen door, looking out
at the pouring rain and waving with
his hand a farewell to Secretary Of
War Root.
His attitude was that of an alert and
deeply interesting man. His poise was
splendid in its suggestion of healthy,
aggressive and manly proportions. His
face, slightly tanned, was admirable in
lines denoting great personal courage
and purpose as distinguished from
character. Every line in the face OF
the President suggests an, aggressive
nature and the determination to ac-
complish a fixed purpose.

Washington, Sept. 1s.-There are
good reasons to believe that Emma

Emma Goldman is a Russian spy
and in the pay of the third section of
the police of that country. She was and

ton with the Gar and the Russian
consul general at New York, and her
work for that government is very effec-

ed the following questions:
How many interviews did you have
with Alexander Orlarovski, former con

did you know the Ginsberg woman
who was arrested at the winter palace
St. Petersburg, in 1891, for an attempt
on the life of the Car?
How many interviews did you have
with Consul General Peploff, who sue
ceeded Orlarovskis at New York.?
Whatever her replies may be 10
these questions, can state with abso

Goldman's fundamentally that Miss
Ginsberg was arrested in front of the

FIRE AT GREENVILLE.
Quitman Advertiser: On Thursday
night, the 4th inst, the large and spa
cious barns of Messrs. c. S. Hardy &
Son at Greenville were burned to the

ception of the live stock being con-
sUmed. The origin of the fire is un-
