"A Story Of Stevenson.

Robert Louis Stevenson wss about
as strong lover Of the United States
as it would be possible for any man 60
be. One night no was present at q
dinner at the British exchange in
Honolulu, an annual affair, 20 which
all the prominent men were invited.
lie consented to attend upon receiving
the express promise Of the presiding
officer that ho wouldn't be asked to
do anything. end therefore only the
few men in his corner Of the table had
the pleasure of enjoying his talk as
the dinner warmed up with all hands
and the wine went around. The favors
'were tiny American and British flags
OF silk, designed to fit into small sill
yer holders that were provided. An
Englishmsn present at the dinner,
who had only lately arrived in Homo
lulu, and who had dined too freely,
picked the tiny American flag at
his plate and insolently swashed it
around in big stein of ale before
him: while ne gr;nned contempiuous-
ly. An athletic young American
naval officer close by him saw the
action, and called the Englishman to
account for it. ''That's absent.mind-
edness, of course, ON your part?" in
quired the naval officer. mo-" said
the Ens!;shman, continuing to soak
the American flag in his ale. Steven
son got to his feet. his eyes very
wrathful. "You should be chastised
for .hat," he said to the Englishman.
The officer invited the Englishman to
stand up, and when he did so, he was
knocked fat by the naval officers fist.
The dinner broke up in disorder, and
the offending Englishman was barred
from the club from that night.-The
Pilgrim.

partment of agriculture issued at noon

cotton August 26 to have been "a, as
compared with 81 '99 July 25; ia
August "a, 1901; 68.2 September /,
1900, and o ten year average Of 1877.
The present unprecedentedly low
average Of condition .ghich is two.
tenths Of point lower than the con.
dition September /, 1896, is due main
~ to the reports from Te- .s and Ala

conditions are nothing less than dis
astrous. The average for Texas is
three points lower than at the CORES
ponding date in 1895 aud 1901, and is
the lowest ever reported for that State.

Washington, Sept. S.-The Demo

mentioned in this correspondence be-

hurt of the trusts.

a HIGH TENOR.
Anna LouIss cary's unsuspected Part
In a Cat Duet.


In Cat Duet.
The late Anna Louise Cary once
figured in an amusing incident at
one of the monthly meetings of the
Boston Clef club. The club was
composed exclusively Of men all in
,terested directly OF indirectly in
mpsfgs and. at the meetings the best
OF entertainment was always pro-
yided by the members themselves.
among these were the two brothers,
Will and John Winch, who at this
time were in great demand owing
to their beautiful voices. Will
Winch possessed a magnificent bass
and John an equally fine tenor. On
tho occasion in question their con-
tribution to the evenings entertain
ment was novel composition of
their own, supposed duet between
an old, world experienced tomcat
and his hot headed, impatient son,
who had fallen hopelessly in love
with sleek tabby Of the neighbor-
hood.
Seating themselves on the edge of
the platform on which stood moth
ing save an ordinary japanese
screen, the two singers began their
amusing performance, which opened
with stern upbraiding Of the
youthful back fence prowler by
his more prudent and experienced
father. The reply was given by the
tenor, who, breaking forth into an
impassioned love song, poured forth
his whole soul in the praise of his
mistress and of the divine passion.
Having reached the. highest tone
Of his voice, Winch struck single
falsetto note, and then followed a
series Of the purest, the most beau
tiful, birdike notes to which the
dumfounded hearers had ever lis
tened. And still the wonderful
voice scared upward. a moment
and the final height vas reached,
and the song abruptly ceased. From
behind the screen a woman's laugh
ing face appeared-that Of Anna
Louise Cary-and the mystery was
one no longer. It was she who had
carried on the song from the mo-
ment of the striking of the falsetto
note, and SO well had the deception
been carried out that not one Of
those present had doubted that he
was still listening to the voice of
John Winch.-New York Post.

If the stomach is deficient IN gas
trio juice so that the unused food
lies there as weight and presently
sends toward the throat volumes Of
acrid gas, indicating a disagreeable
phase of indigestion and later Civ
ing its victim sick headache, then
currant juice should be taken. This

strained juice of either red or black

will answer the purpose well.

The successful turkey hunter Is
probably the most scientific sports

extraordinary sight, hearing, wari-
ness and. .alertness, but it knows the
woods better, than any. mere man
can know them,iand it has distinct

a turkey knows not only that the
appearance of certain part of the
ground is not right, but also why it
is not right.
1t will distinguish readily be-
tween marks of passage made by q
wild animal and q human being. Ne
groes assert that it can smell pow
der, just as they believe that COW
can smell powder, but there is no ev-
ldencc that its sense of smell is spe-
cially developed.
Its power of fight is not great
nor is it enduring on foot. There
are many animals which prey upon
it and can outrun it. It has had
to depend for preservation upon its
intellect, and this intellect mas
come to be remarkably developed.
