IT CAUSED A RUSH
RaccOOn Creek Minister Tells
.Of EndIess Flight Of Tine.

The best illustration of the
endless flight of time, that hau
been heard in this country in
a long time was that given by
a minister out on Raccoon
creek at a revival a few nights
ago. The revival had been
well attended but the harvest
OF souls was not what the
preacher expected as he de-
picted the joys Of heaven and
the fortunes of hell with dis
couraging results. Finally he
announced that the revival
would close with that meeting
unless the sinners showed a
desire to repent. He depicted
the suffering Of the lost, and in
telling them how long it
would be before they would
be freed from their environ
ment of fire and birthstone, he
said:
"You will suffer for all eter-
nifty. DO you know what that
means? I'll tell you. If a
little sparrow was to dip his
bill in the Atlantic ocean and
take one hop a day and hop
across the country and put
that drop in the pacific ocean
and then hop back to the pa
cihc ocean and then hop back
to the Atlantic, one hop dry,
and if he kept that thing up
until the Atlantic was as day
as a bone it wouldn't be sun
up in hell

Neal stanback Hanged
NEGRO AssaiIant Of Aged Mrs.
Preufer Dies on SCaffOId
at Portsmouth.

Norfolk, Va, March I2.-
Without f1inching a muscle
Neal Stanback was today hurl-
ed into eternity in the Ports
mouth Jail yard for criminally
assaulting Miss Eliza Preufer,
on the evening OF the 18th of
January last.
The prisoner spent his last
night conversing with the death
watch. When the day dawned
he slept for short while. AS
soon as he awoke he,Hordered
breakfast III a casual sort Of
way and then began dressing
to meet his doom. Stanback S
sweetheart called Gupon him
shortly after he had 1dressed
and he conversed with her for
IAN hour. Then his spiritual
advisers terminated the inter-
view He repeatedlysssaidssshe
deserved his fate when ques-
toned, and protested religion
to the preachers::who attended
him to the gallows. When the
death warrant was read he
never flinched a muscle, but
only said, Lord | am, coming
home" When given an oppor-
tunity to say farewell he told
the witnesses that whlskey
was the cause Of his end.
At 1923 o'clock the trap
was sprung and the mandate
of the law was pronounced ex-
ecuted a few moments later.
The ranlains were turned over
to Stanback's parents for
burial.
The crime for.swhich STAN
back died was committed SAT-
urday afternoon, January IS,
on the Ivory Branch of the
Deep Creek road, about two
miles ffom11P Portsmouth. Miss
Eliza Preufer, aged. seventy
years, wife Of a member Of the
Marine Band stationed,at the
Norfolk navy yard, was driving
alone to her home in the coun
try at about five O'Clock in the
afternoon. Stanback leaped
from behind a clump Of bushes
and Selling dfrs. Preufer,
dragged her out Of her little
wagon TO the ground.
The aged woman only had
time to scream once, but her
outcry was heard by farmer,
on his way home with a party
of laborers. Every man ran to
rescue. Stanback Immediately
fed. While two men attended

Poor Tommy Atkins.

Miles away from succor, near the
road, lay British Tommy, with glis-
tening eyes and burning fever, his head
propped up on deserted sandhill, and
the hot sun of MONDAY pouring into his
upturned face. "They told me, sir, the
wagons 'ud pick me up, but hain't seen
no wagons, sir" "Yes, feel bad; I've
mortal pains, sir, in my back and head"
Poor devil, he had no water and no
food, not that the latter mattered
much. for he was too far gone to eat.
We left him water and cheered him up
little with the hope that wagons
would pass by. All night long, alone on
the empty veldt, saturated with the
heavy dews and chilled to the marrow
with biting winds of darkness, and now
under the scorching sun OF day. He
did not know if they would find him
all alone, SO far away, and yet he an
swered, uncomplainingly: Eyes, siri

Largest of Animals.

Mr., Beddard, in his new book on
whales, reminds readers that although
the Imagination is apt to picture the
giant reptiles of the Jurassic and Gre
taceous periods as having exceeded in
size all modern animals, yet in fact
there is no evidence that the earth has
ever contained, either on land or in the
sea, creatures exceeding the whale in
bulk. The mammoth was larger than
the elephant, but the ichthyasaurus
could not match the whale for size, al
though with its terrible jaws it would
doubtless have been the whales master.

believe in full bloods, but if grade
hogs are to be raised they should
always be bred to full blood male.
This will keep the herd uniform and
produce a much better appearance
than a herd of hogs of all sizes and
colors. There will be fewer runts
among full bIoods and grades than
there will be among mongrels where
the blood of three or four breeds is
unfortunately mixed. The sows
should have a ration during the win
ter months of good nutritious nature,
such as bran, oats and middlings.
They should also have a moderate ra-
ton of some succulant food, such as
artichokes or turnips. / find arti-
chokcs to be one of the best of hog
feeds. They are richer in protein
than most other root crops, and are
relished by the hogs better than any
thing else have ever tried. When
only the best breeds of hogs are
found on our farms, and only as
many of these as can be kept grow
ing rapidly from narrowing to slaugh-
tering time, the average cost of the
production of pork will be greatly re-
duced.-A. j. L., in Epitomist.

PHYSICIANS MUCH INTER-
ESTED.

Northport, Mich, Dec. 9.-The med
ical men are just now eagerly dis
cussing a most remarkable cure of a
severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, of
Northport, has for years been a vic
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very Respondent, often wondering it
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would rot last. Now
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an.
nouncement of this has caused pro
found sensation among the physl
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently hopeless condition.

Result of Ignorance.

All existing prejudice against "theo
retical farming" as distinguished
from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of what
is meant by the word theory or theo-
retical. 1t is evident that all success
full farming is based on theory, and
that the farming operations are theo-
retically correct, according to the
measure of their success, although
the farmer, himself, may be ignorant
of the theory as whole. We all do
things every day we live with the full
assurance of certain results, but re-
main ignorant of the why's and where
fores-the theories that govern in
each case.-Farm and Ranch.

The Rest He Could Do.

There was a clergyman lin Tangipahoe,
La, let us say) who was much annoyed by
the misohievous boy of neighbor. He rea-
soned with the brat, but with no effect He
laid the case before the boys parents and
they showed him the door. One day he told
his brother--a rough and vigorous man Of
worldly habits-all about this persecution.
The brother bolted out of the door and
presently returned with the cheering word
that the boy would make no further trou-
BILE. Il told his - father, said the
wicked brother, that / would come blank
ETY. near kicking the blankety stuffing out
of him and his Observation-Disclosures boy
if he ever bothered you again.
But l hope you did not let even that
wretched creature hear such language as you
have repeated. Brother, you did not really
swear at him, did you?'
"Oh, not at all, . said the wicked one, "but

ing that the whitewash on the walls looked

HERE AND THERE.

1t is cheaper to feed one cow for

two. 1t is less labor also to milk a

FIVE or six gallons) from tne cow

Age may improve wine, but not
eggs. Cold storage eggs may be bet
ter than none, but they are not near
Iy so good as some. An egg is never
better than the next day after it is

When fowls are marketed, it is
well to remember that clean shanks
and feet add greatly to their attract.

consumers, always excepting the res.
taurants. For them, anything goes.

cover takes the place of much corn;
that well-housed animals need less
food than those exposed to the
weather. Good stables, ETC., are
money-savers.
Those hog men who have been
selling their breeding stock because
feed is scarce, are doing the best
thing possible for the men who are
doing otherwise. Hogs are going Ut

scarcity next year means yet higher
prices.

About Mfsnts.

Some men take to farming as ducks
take to water, because their instincts
so direct them. Other men take to
commerce for a similar reason. A
duck on the Staked Plain is not moro
out of the place than the man who is
round trying to fit himself into a
square hole-the "natural-born" farm
er taking up traffic, or the man
whose tastes and talents fit him only
to stand behind counter quitting
the store to turn up the soil. All men
can not be farmers, for merchants
and lawyers and doctors and teach
ers, and many others, are necessary.
Though not so absolutely necessary
as farmers, yet the character of the
age we live in demands that all these
positions be filled by men specially
qualified, each of his own field of la
Dor. When men make no mistake in
selecting an avocation, everything
goes smoothly, satisfactorily and
without friction. The trouble is, and
| it is a serious one, too, that we have
so many men who have never demon
strated a fitness for any position.
When dogs may be utilized by the
sausage-makers and worn-out cart
horses turn up again as canned
beef" we must conclude that moth
ing is created without purpose,
though some men pass through life
without finding a hole they will fit
into. There are men born and raised
on a farm, who are as much out OF
place as a saint in purgatory; and
what makes the matter worse is, they
have never learned the fact. That is
why there is so great difference be-
tween the highest crop yields and the
| general average-why some make Il
bushels of corn per acre and Others
| rs bushels or more. Why some farm
ers never get their financial noses of
the grindstone of debt, while others
with no better natural advantages
are happy, prosperous and independ
ent. There are many men engaged in
alleged farming who ought to be else
where doing otherwise.-Texas Farr1
