Old Sabattus was not an Indian, as
the nickname implies, but a Yankee
guide says the Lewiston Journal. One
autumn he was left on a steamboat
at one of the upper landings on Moose
head Lake while the engineer went
ashore with some guests.
man named Meservey came aboard,
and in fooling around the boat manag-
ed to fall into the firepit, and put his
shoulder out of joint. Here was a di-
lemma. The other members of the
party would not be back for nearly an
hour, and the injured man was in great
pain.
The guide was a man of expedients.
He got rope and tied his patient Sc
curely to post. Then he tied another
rope around the mans wrist and fast
ened the loose end of it to pulley of
the engine. He managed somehow to
turn on steam, and the pulley began to
wind up the rope.
1t drew the arm out tight in beauti-
full shape, and presently the joint snap
ped back into it's socket. Then Sabat-
tus jumped around to shut off steam,
while the pulley kept on winding.
How does it go? don't know where
it isl" gasped the guide, excitedly. IT
can't stop the blamed thing!" and the
pulley meanwhile was slowly but surely
pulling the patient to pieces. His eyes
were sticking out of their sockets, and
he screamed and gasped for breath.
Sabattus danced around like a wild
man, not knowing what to do, when he
happened to spy a Ratchet lying near,
and jumping for that he cut the rope.
Some years after that a lot of sum-
mer company arrived at Greenville.
Sabattus was there, too, and presently
a distinguished looking man, one of the
new corners, went up to him and said,
with a meaning smile. Aren't you the
the man who practices surgery by
steam?"
Sabattus admitted that he was that
same Teller" 80

Fred Funston is coming home. His
friends may tremble because of the
fact. He is about the only hero OF the
Spanish war there is left. but it is not
to be expected that he will remain a
hero long after landing. Somebody will
accuse him of cowardice in that he cap
tured Aguinaldo instead of permitting
the Filipinos to capture him, or be-
cause he did not wade that river in
stead of swimming II. With the fate
of Dewey, Schley, Hobson, Shafter
and others in mind, Funston would be
easily excusable II he masqueraded at

may be perpetuated and brought to a
high state of development. That is
how the race horse has been evolved
and the two-minute trotter is to be
produced. Thus by selection it may be
possible for wheels in the head to be
reduced to the heels, and finally made
to take the place of legs. We are quite
sure. however, that the innovation
would not be pleasing to the present
generation. The intellect would neces-
sarily have to be trained to the idea
before it would be acceptable. And the
intelligence of man is yet far from the
point of acceptance. 1t is too fond of

President Roosevelt is not to receive
a medal of honor for his services in
the war against Spain. The War De-
partment last year decided that he
was not entitled to a medal, and the
recently formed medal board, of which
Gen. Macarthur is the head, has reach
ed the conclusion that it cannot take
the department. The President will
therefore have to be contented with
the brevet rank of brigadier general.

The announcement is made that the
keel blocks have been laid for the
cruiser that the Cramps are to build
for Turkey. 1t might be nearer correct
to substitute corner stone" for
keel blocks" The understanding is
that the builders will not do any work
ahead of the payments, hence it is a
matter of speculation when the ship
will be introduced to the water. But

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press is a man of dis
cernment and discretion, usually. But
he is long way off in the matter of
the Booker Washington dinner Incl
dent. He says that the objection on
the part of the South was pretty near
ly all political, that it came from the
old timers and that the younger gener-
alton had mighty little to do with it.
And therein he was all wrong. The
South. young and old, grants Mr..
Roosevelt in his private capacity the
right to entertain at his table whomso-
ever he may please. 1t has no criti-
cism to make with respect to the taste
which he exercises In the selection of
his private guests. But as a public
man-as the President of the country
the South objects to the effort to
establish social equality. And there
are no exceptions in the South in the
matter. The objection is unanimous.
There is no politics. in it. 1t is the
race pride of the white people-the
dominant race of the world

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
"In view of the enormous cable bust
ness done by our government with the
Philippines, the service rendered by
Gen. Greedy in persuading the cable
companies 20 reduce their tolls one
third for government business is an inn
pcrtant one. Gen. Greedy thus has
something to show for his trip to the
Philippines. and 1t shines by contrast
with the records of the senator's and
congressman who have gone to the ISL

junketing purposes"

AhPENA, MlCH., July 2I.-CyruS
Larke, syears old, the son Of F. D..
Larke, editor Of the Rogers City
Adranoe, mysteriously disappeared in
that village Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday his body was taken from
the river. According to the confession
OF Harvey Nelson, s years old, the
Larkey boy was murdered by COM
panions Of bis own age in order to
secure forty-eight cents which he
possessed. According to 1.-THE Nelson boy,
young Larke, in the company Of the
9-year-old son Of Prosecuting Attorney
Reed, Nelson and several other boys
about the same age, were playing near
the Hoeft Schoer mill boom on Tues
day afternoon. Young Larke was urg-
ed TO climb down to the water and get
out on a pier. He objected, saying his
parents had ordered him never TO ven
ture on the piers or go near the booms.
He was finally persuaded and accom-
the boys.
Young Nelson says he remained be-
hind, but watched the boys. He says
Reed and his companions led young
Larke out from the pier and after
forcing him to give them forty-eight
cents which he had in his pocket,
pushed him of the boom into the
water. The boy could not swim and
when he tried to catch the boom one
OF the boys pushed him away. This
was repeated once or twice, after
which the body did not come up. The
boys came ashore, and after telling
Nelson, who witnessed the tragedy,
that II he eve told anyone about the
matter they would serve him as they
had served Larke, they went to a
candy store and spent the money. Ask
ed where he got the money, Reed ex-
plained that he had found it. The
water was dragged at once and the
body was recovered at the place where
young Nelson said the tragedy occur
red. An inquest viii be held.

The old man. who was 70 yeaH Of

He lived all alone on his little farm
and seldom spoke to anyone-neYer
concerning himself OF relations At.
one time he was a prominent Demo
crat, a member Of the State Constitu-
tiOnal Convention In 1875, and was
previously a leading State Senator.
Shortly after this he renowned pub

life Of a hermit. 1t seems before his
decided change Of living he was a man
OF marked ability. He was very in
tellectual, having a legal turn Of
mind. he was instrumental In de-
feating a scheme TO run a railroad
through Caldwell county, which was
projected the same time the proposed
St. Clair county rad that has result
ed in saddling a debt of over 500, 900
on the people was contemplated. He
was once Circuit Clerk Of Caldwell

His father, Samuel Holiday, pub
lished one Of the first newspapers in
Missouri at Old Franklin, opposite

MI. Holiday went to Caldwell eoun-

Sehley represents no principle. He
stands for no great doctrine Of political

The young women, who are spending

=issoURI HEN A GOLD MINE
Shipments Of Poultry and Eggs tx
coed Those Of All Grains.

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, july g7.-A
short time ago the State labor bureau
gave out a summary Of shipments
made during 1900 Of the various pro-
ductlons Of the farms, orchards, for
rests and mines, which, compared with
the previous year, showed a very ma
terial increase in many commodities.
The aggregate value Of shipments Of
poultry and eggs was s12,571.467 SO,
being an increase Of almost s5O0,0O 0
over the previous year. Group to:
gether the aggregate values Of all
shipments made In Missouri during
1900 Of wheat corn, oats, fax seed,
rye, barley, timothy seed, clover seed,
millet seed, can seed, castor beans,
broom corn, hay, straw and apples
enough to supply an empire-and the
significant and transformations Mis-
souri, hen will beat the aggregation by
$4,000.
MissOuri's timber interests are gen.
orally regarded as very extensive, and
In the production thousands Of per
sons are employed. But for the pur-
pose Of comparison aggregate the val
ues Of last years shipments Of pine,
and hardwood lumber, logs, piling,
walnut logs, railroad ties, fence and
mine posts. coopersge and cord wood;
then add to this the value Of the
shipments Of butter, cheese, milk,
game, fish, furs, feathers, lard, talloW,
hides and pelts, wool and potatoes
a tremendous array, which includes
the combined industries Of the forest
and dairy, with the other items for
good meaSure-and "Chickabiddy'' is
still ahead $4,000.
The commemorative fruit interests
are immense. 1t likewise produces
the finest cotton known 10 commerce
and has within its borders the greatest
melon-producing area-southeast Mis-.
sOuri-in the United States. But
here is another comparison: Place in
one column the values OF last years
shipment Of apples, peaches, grapes,
plums, Strawberries, blackberrles,
fresh fruit, dried fruit, melons, wine,
cider, vinegar, potatoes, onions, vege-
tables canned goods and nursery stock;
add TO this the butter, cheese, milk,
game, fish, furs, feathers, hides lard,
tallow, wool, cotton and tobacco.
Then 10 Argument the list, dump in
the value Of Missouri's total ship
ments Of coal-the aggregate Of which
ought TO show a fat ledger footing,
and IL does-but the hen Is yet $780,
900 ahead.
The value Of the poultry and eggs
shipped by Missouri producers during
1900 amounted TO almost one-ffth OF
the aggregate value all Of the cattle,
hogs, horses. mules and sheep shipped
during the same time.
