TOO CONSERVATIVE.
Disinciin"tion for Change Has Free
quently Injured the Best In
terests of Our Farmers

1t is but natural that farmers
should be the most conservative of
all classes of people, from the fact
lhat their lives are the most indie
pendent and less restricted bv the
policy spirit than any other indus
trial class. The farmers dealings are
largely with Providence direct. with
no machine-nade rules to control his
acts or motives. Thus he should. and
does, possess sounder integrity and
more stable moral sense than is found
elsewhere. This conservative quality
has without doubt been a safeguard
TO the nation at many critical times
In our history, when political in
trigues and partisanship were rife. IT
has also been handicap to the farm
ers themselves in some instances
Their disinclination for change has at
times blocked the wheels which would
have advanced their interests materi-
ally, had they been more ready to ac-
cept innovations. An instance of the
truth of which was shown in the an
tagonistic attitude toward rural de-
livery of mail. For time the oppo-
sltion was the strongest from MANY
of the farmers themselves. That
same movement for extending postal
convenience will do much toward
making farmers better business men.
Quicker to take advantage of circum-
stances which would promote their
interests, or to oppose those that will
react against them. Farmers should
be the most Independent and fearless
of citizens, which is their right, and
that should not prevent their becom-

asked why it had not been put into
effect. The answer of the board of
education was that it had no money.
To the further question of why it had
no money, a Chicago newspaper un-
dertook reply, to The effect that mil
lions of dollars of taxable values were
secreted every year by corporations
and that the state board of equaliza-
ton looked on approvingly.
At the time Miss Goggin was pres
ident of the Chicago Teachers fedora
tion and Miss Margaret Haley was one
of the vice presidents. Their interest
had been aroused and the federation
in January, 1900, chose the two womel
to make an investigation on behalf
of the federation. The two women
were granted leave from school and
their salaries were to be paid by the
teachers in the federation.
The two women had not been at
work long before they discovered that
the allegations of the newspaper were
true. AS this proof became apparent,
Miss Goggin began TO feel some of the
uncomfortable possibilities of her po-
sition. Comments upon the work
were INDUCED in on all sides, and
everywhere she met evasions of is
sues. Information against capital
stock and franchises was arranged
and taken before the state board of
equalization, to which body Miss Cog
gin offered to make oath to the show
ing. The board did not avail itself of
the offer; instead, when an attorney
found occasion to express the opinion
that both women Should be thrown
out of the window" the board of
equalization found much amusement
III the chivalrous utterance. And it
was thirdfioor window, too.
But instead of becoming a sacrifice.
Miss Goggin was one who made appli-
cation for writ of mandamus to com
pei the board of equalization to spread
the capital stock and franchise valua-
tions on the tax rolls. On May l, be-
fore Judge Owen b. Thompson. in the
circuit court of Sangamon county, this
order was issued, and on appeal the
Illinois supreme court has sustained
the Judgment of the lower court in
every respect.
This, in brief, is the story of the
public work which Miss Goggin has
made of Importance to every taxing
body in the United States. It has
brought her notoriety which she
does not relish, but satisfaction, at
the same time, which is not to be
measured. Through it all she has
been calm and quiet, forgetful of
much of the hard road which she trav
eled ; success in her efforts.

REAL WORKS OF ART.
The Latest Marriage Certificates Are
characterized by Beauty and
Originality.

Up-to-date marriage certificates are
artistic affairs, written on parchment,
showing the best pen and brush work
of the illuminator, bound in fine
levant covers, and cost anywhere from
SIS to $50. The marriage certificate e
is an important legal document and
with its sacramental and sentimental
value makes it worthy of the work
put into it. More and more of these
artistic certificates are being made,
and with the parchment foundation
they will resist the effects of time.
In general stye the certificates do
not vary. There are two materials
used for them-parchment sheepskin,
which is the most durable, and vellum
calfskin, upon which alterations can
be more easily made in the text, dis
advantage in II legal document of any
kind. The covers are of flexible le-
want, in a churchly red, lined with
white watered silk, and the parchment t
leaves are tied in with heavy white
corded silk ribbon, fastened at the
two ends of the cover, tied in the CEN
ter The leaves are slipped in, and
there may be as many as desired.
Upon the first page appears the GER
tificate, fair, clear and unfolded. This
is entire, with the signature of the
clergymen and witnesses. Other pages
which may be added receive the names
Df the guests present, if they also care
to add their names as witnesses.
In some cases the modern certificate e
is present from the clergyman to
the couple he is marrying, but this is
not frequent.-Chicago Journal.

A a. eff! Start.

William NJ. Evarts seldom met his
match, but he once found it in Senator
David Davis. Mr.. Evarts was a mere
skeleton of man, while Mr.. Davis,
who weighed upwards of 300 pounds,
was blessed with a circumference
quite as great as his length The two
senator's were perpetually twitting
each other in fun, and one night at
dinner Mr.. Davis said: eff you will let
me choose the course l will guarantee
that with three yards start | can beat
you in a race of 100 feet" Every one
at the table laughed and said: Take
him up, Mr.. Evarts." The challenge
was accepted, and Mr.. Davis was
asked when he would race, to which
he replied that he was ready at once.
The whole party then adjourned to
the course chosen by Senator Davis.
This proved to be an alley between
two houses just three feet in width
and 100 feet deep. He stepped into
the mouth three yards, said "Go!"
and walked through quite leisurely.
Mr.. Evarts could get neither past him
nor under him, and he called Mr..
Davis back to the street and ac-
knowledged that the joke was on him.

Mrs. Nellie Harmer, of Grand Rap

Mrs. Harmer is the only woman
cobbler in Michigan. Indeed, she has
never heard of another woman who

 Near the Muscoghies, lived the Ala bamas with them there was difference The latter being the weakest. were com pelled to remove with all their families. This was not perceived by the Musco- ghies until some time afterward, who collected their warriors In considerable number. and pursued the Alabamas. un- til they found they had gone over the waters fol ming the Alabama branch or the Mobile River.
 The Muscoghies, after having descend found the Country climate and the Country better than their own, and be- ing too few to attack the whole natlon of Ala bamas they returned. The report they gave of the goodness of the country lying the Cousa was such. that the whole body of the Muscoghies deter mined to remove thither-which was ac- cordingly done
 they were met by a deputation from that nation deprecating their resentments. This the Muscoghies offered to grant on the condition that such of their worst enemies should be delivered un. On this report being made to the Alabamas, the persons endangered by the condition of the Muscoghies, fled part of them. to | the Choctaws. who had recently come | into the country to the westward, and part of them Taensahs. numerous na- l ton seated about lS0 miles lower down | on the Alabama river.
 | The MuscOghies demanded of the Taen- | sahs such of the Alabamas as had taken refuge in their nation. On being re- | fused a war ensued, in which the Taen- | sahs were worsted and greatly reduced in number. About this time also tho | french arrived (the year ), and in fected the Taensahs with the small DON which with the wars wasted them al most to nothing The few who remained were carried away by the french.
 Soon after the Taensahs were reduced the Cusetahs and CoWetas, seperateC from the rest of the nation and estab lished themselves on the Oakmulgee where tleV remained until the wars witt the Carolinians who by use of their fir, arms compelled them to retire to Chat ahouce river, on which they have eve since remained.

The early history of our country IS subject of nevsr-fa'ling interest. The character of the people. and of their leading men, and details concermn8 eaaly events are eagerly sought. The following papers will. therefore, be read with much inteIes They have not heretofore been published.
 The originals of these documents are to be found in the Knox Manuscripts, Vol. XXVI, folios l45 and 165, in the Library of the New England Historic Genealog- ical Society, Boston. Mass.
