leading to the floor above.
Makes you blow to climb fight OF

EDITING MANUSCRIPTS.
LudicrOus Blunders Are Sonnet time 8
Made by the Most Experi-
enced Authors.

"Most authors are furious at the
bare suggestion of editing their man
uscripts." said man who used to be
a reader in a big publishing house,
relates the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat, "but you would be surprised at
the ludicrous blunders made by the
best of them. When a writer is ac-
cessible, the usual plan is to mark the
bad breaks on the proof slips and send
them to him, with a discreet note re-
questing correction; but when a
house is getting out a book in hurry
or when the author is abroad, this is
often impossible, and then the situa-
tion becomes very ticlllish. l remem-
ber, for instance. l was once reading
the proofs of novel by one of our best
known and crankiest women writer's.
She was away on visit to Mexico and
had left strict orders to follow copy
to the letter. In one of her early chap
ters the hero was shaving himself after
long hunting trip, and was exactly
half through when interrupted by the
sudden arrival of the villain. A stormy
scene followed, and eventually all
hands adjourned to a fashionable ball
The authoress evidently forgot that
her man was still half shaved. and !
took the liberty of finishing the job
When she saw the book she was as
mad as blazes because l had interpo-
lated eight or nine words. and l swore
l would never again play the barber
to save anybody's reputation.
Another writer, for whom we got
out story, made one of his characters
empty his revolver at a retreatine
burglar, and a moment later sent two
bullets crashing through window
to show rival how quick he was on
the trigger. l called his attention to
the ineNhaustible pistol, and he never
spoke to me afterward. In an earlier
novel by the same gentleman you will
lind reference to the hero's dark.
smooth-shaved face and on the very
next page he is 'twirling his mustache.'
l noticed it in proof. but remembered
my experience with the lady and let
it go.
ut is common thing for writers to
locate well-known streets. parks, art
galleries and monuments in the wrong
cities, and they make the sun rise and
set at all the points of the compass.
We had to delay book for a whole sea.
son once because the author located
the Windward islands off the coast
of South Carolina, and then went away
to Japan before anybody discovered
the mistake. To make the correction
involved changing the whole action OF
the story. which, of course. nobody
dared to do"

When she finished, 1 raised my hare

When she finished, l raised my hands
and clapped them together
"Well doneP' said. "Well dono!
."Done well enough for u.s., said
some one, and strong hands reached
over the log and graspcd me by the
wrists. Ny languor and my sleepinoss
were gone i'll an instant, and l made a
powerful effort to wrench myself loose
but l had been taken too suddenly
Three or four men flung themselves
upon ME, and was crushed under a
great weight, while the firm grip was
still ON my wrists managed to deal
somebody a heavy kick and heard a
grunt of pain, but in a few seconds l
was overpowered and, like wise man,
ceased to struggle further.
Singularly enough, one of my early
thoughts in that moment was of relief
that Old Put should prove not to be a
false prophet, having enjoyed such a
good character in that respect SO long.
I had been fool not to take his warming
more seriously. Then wondered why
the girl did not cry out at the sight of
struggling men and the sound of oaths
and blows, violent medley usually
very terrifying to women. caught one
glimpse Of her, and she was sitting on
the log, her back against tho up thrust
bough, leaning upon it as lazily as if
she were in rocking chair in parlor.
The freight still played over her face
and eyes, but the soft and tender ex-
preston which had pleased me was
gone Instead the look that she turned
upon me was mixture of dislike,
malice and triumph
After meeting such glance it was q
relief to ne TO look another way and
see who had captured me

to awake, giving emphasis to his cries
with many sturdy kicks

"I'll not leave you," she said
"Now, Old Put l said. "lead us

He curved his long neck in the dark
ness and looked ahead with sharp brown
eyes. let the reins, fall loose, and he
wound about among the trees with a
judgment that was never at fault. The
other horse kept close at his side Be-
hind us we could hear the cries of the
awakened men as they leaped upon
their horses and rode after us, shouting
to US to stop. Two or three more pistol
shots were fired. but the air received
them.

many different kinds of boy, but right
now / don't seem to recall the boy

It's new one on me. l suppose the
man who wrote that intended to con-
vey the impression that dogs and lam
terms were being used in a search for
missing boy. If you read the article
through that is the idea that you
gather. But you'd never guess it from
a mere glance at the headlines"

you don't have to worry over a break

"Now, you might think the man
who hangs out that sign is chronic
sufferer from lameness. You might
think it was on tap and all you had
TO do to get what you wanted of it

You might think that lameness was

You might think lot of things, but
the fact is the man who is responsible
for the sign is blacksmith, and the

BLIND POSTMASTER BAXTER.
He Runs Store and Goes After the
Cows at Milking Time.

He Runs Store and Goes After the
Cows at Milking Time.
The little village of Lexington, on
Clear Lake, Lesueur County, Mime
sofa, claims it has the only blind post
master in Minnesota, and probably the
only one in the United States.
For more than thirty years Hiram
Baxter has served the people of the vii
lage and surrounding country to their
entire satisfaction, and nearly all Of
this time he has been blind. He also
has a small general store and an inn,
where he keeps the traveller who needs
meal or nights lodging. He has a
wonderful memory and can always
tell If there is a paper or letter for any
one who calls. His wife or his son
calls off the names when the mail is
distributed, and letter may lie in the
office for two weeks but Wien the
proper person calls, he remembers it,
He can put his hand on any one of the
l20 boxes and give the name of the
owner.
He keeps several cows and cares for
them himself. Each COW wears a bell,
and by this means he finds and drives
them up from large woodland pas
ture. They seem to realize that he is
different from other people, and no
matter how much he runs against or
stumbles over them they never move
He is a wonderful example of what
q man who has lost his sight can do in
a business way.

The Bacon Type.

The fact that few understand the type
of hog which the bacon market requires
+ has perhaps been the main reason why
it is generally accepted that it costs
more per pound to raise a hog Of the
bacon type than one of the lard type.
1t is not commonly thought that the
hogs of the bacon type are improved
breeds. 1t is generally supposed that
they are hogs having all the character
istics of the razor-backed native hogs
that represent all that is undesirable
for feeding purposes. The first point
necessary TO make clear is that thin
hog is not in any sense bacon hog.
In the bacon hog it is desirable to have
about one and half inches of fat with
an abundance of lean flesh in the car
cass. 1t is flesh, muscle or lean meat
that is desirable and not in any sense a
thin carcass. An important point
among the desirable characteristics of
the bacon hog is that Of form. The
side should be as long as possible, with
great depth, and leyelness from shout
der to hip should be the leading charac-
teristic The shoulder should not bulge
out and the hams should not be pendant
and plump as in the case of the lard
hog. If a straight edge is laid along
the side of the typical bacon hog it
should touch every point from the start
of the shoulder to the end of the hind
quarter.

Grow Moro Corn.

The farmers who are feeding out
timothy hay, and seeing their neigh.
bors selling load after load of it at q
good price, While their cattle are kept
in good condition and their cows are
giving more milk on corn fodder than
those do that are eating high-Driced
hay. must feel like asking some one to
kick them now. and then come around
and kick them again next spring until
they promise either to plant corn or
SOW corn in drills and save the fodder
for next winters use. Yet thi. is but
one small part of their loss. Those who
had a plenty of corn fodder to use dur
ing the dry time last summer kept their
cows up TO full milk production then.
and began the fall with them in much
better condition than were those that
had to depend upon the pasture alone.
and thus they will have more milk
every day and milk more days this win
ter than those who trusted TO the grass
crop alone. Yet not one-half the latter
will be much more ready 10 look ahead
next spring than they were last spring.
