factions that neither assault or de-
fend the administration is engaged
in a robust determsnation to clean
out all the other factions. 1t is a
cat and dog affair. 1t promises to
become more intense as time passes.
1t will become interesting to even
the citizen who takes little part in
politics, because it will reveal tc
him evidence that there are many
things rotten in the denmarkian
party that has been in power in
this state since 1896.
The proposal to make a clean
sweep of leaders of contending fac
tioa and put up new men, with Hon.
R. y. Johnson as the standard
bearer as candidate for the United
States senate, mentioned in this
correspondence some time ago, has
caused good deal Of uneasiness
among the ole liners, even among
those who were wiling to tolerate
Johnson as a possibility only to
count him out after he had been
"mooched" for a pile of campaign
funds. These have viewed in the
plan referred to dangerous hand
writing on the wall and have taken
steps to put stop to the agitation
excepting in those cases where there
is easy money without any risk.
AS part of their program they have
induced r, II. Johnson. son of the
venerable R. q, better known as
."Young Dick" to come out as a
candidate for attorney general
believing that step would keep the
old gentleman in the background.
With Dewey in the field to replen
ish the campaign fand, the
managers teel it would be better to
drop the elder Johnson than to
take chances on his candidacy in
spring general desire on the part
of the rank and file for "a clean
sweep.
Like Banquo's ghost, the appor-
tionment bill is haunting the demo-
cratic leaders who secured passage
of the iniquitous thing. In order
to steal legislature" the largest
counties in this state were given
wholly dispropol tinate representa-
ton in the legislature for fear they
would go republican in 1872, while
small democratic counties were
given representation irrespective of
their population or voting strength.
They were fairly loaded with legis-
lators. AS the p,ople begin to
realize the injustice of the thing,
many complaints are heard. Tax
alton without representation"
caused a great war once. And the
same principal is being contended
FIR by those whose counties will
not have the representation they
are entitled to in the next legisla-
ture. The voters of Idaho are
worked up over this matter as
they never were before, for the
true citizen cannot justly it on the
ground of politics, when their
counties must suffer as result
The whole thing will eventuate in
4 general desire to send to the leg
stature men who will right the
great wrong done by the Sixth ses-
Son and moreover, to re gate to the
oblivion of defeat the party respon-
'lble Tor it. This is only one of
he many things put through by
he democratic party at the expense
If vita. citizenship interests.

Spinster Thought They Were Too
Forward, But the Men Didn't
Bother Her Much.

IT think that the people Of the west are
exceedingly interesting, but do not like
their ways" said TIE spinster landlady, as
she began her nightly attack with the cary
ing knife on leg of cold mutton, relates the
New York Tribune.
What don't you like about them" asked
her nephew, who sat next to her and often
embarrassed the boarders by saying there
was too much water in the soup.
why, / think they are too forward,
said the woman with the knife, as she peeled
off a thin slice for hard working politician
and officeholder, who often entertained the
rest of the boarders by telling them of his
campaign experiences.
Have you met many westerners?" asked
the politician, as he saw his almost empty
plate set before him.
"Yes," was the prompt reply. Il was out
in California and the people out there en-
tertained me almost to death. The women
l met at noon acted as if they had known

THE CUTTING OF CORN.
Save Lots of Labor and Prevent
Useless Waste.

We cut our corn with horse and
think it is easier and faster than by
hand. Our method is this: Take the
boat that you pick up potatoes with;
if you have not got one make one at
once. It should be about feet wide;
the runners can be made of 2x4 inch
stuff, with the front ends hewed off SO
as to run over obstacles. A Pinch
plank should be bolted on the front end
with notch cut in to hitch to, the rest
of the top may be made of inch boards
nailed across the boat. To cut corn a
wing should be hinged on each side
slanting out and backward. We use an
old saw for these wings or knives, cut
ting it in the middle and fling the back
to an edge and bolting to the wings,
and using a small box for a seat. 1t
takes two persons, one for each row,
cutting two rows at once. We start
the shock by hand, cutting two rows
that the shocks are on, leaving four
hills for each shock, and allow ten
hills wide by five long. We tie with a
rope with ring fastened to one end
of the rope; one draws the top of the
shock up while the other ties with
stalks, putting two bands around
each shock. In heavy corn five hills
makes an armful which makes two
armfuls for each side of shock. If the
corn is light one should carry ten hills
which makes one armful for each side.
Not one of our shocks blew over that
we put up this way last year. The
fodder keeps better in large shocks
than in small ones. We pull the shock
over and husk in crates.-B. Single

BRACE FOR END FENCE POSTS.

oak post, cut a notch three or four
inches deep, six or eight inches from
the bottom of the post. For an
anchor take piece of oak five by
eight inches by four feet in length,
and place it as shown in illustration;
this need not be nailed to the post,
and can be placed in any position
after the post is set in the ground;
pack gravel firmly around the post.
It should be set not less than five
feet in the ground; cut notch one
inch deep IL inches from the top of
the post for the brace, for which use
four by six, ten feet long, placing
one end on fat rock inclined toward
the post, as shown in the illustra-
ton, as it furnishes more resistance
to the pressure of the brace, which is
downward and forward, a one-ha1f-
inch iron rod may be used from the
lower end of the brace back to the
post, or four or five strands of No.
8 wire, if wire is used, be
sure 20 draw the wire as tightly as
possible before twisting them. A
large post, if set properly in this
manner, will hold any farm fence.
The anchor must be placed on the
front side of the post, as the tend
ency of a post brace in this manner is to
be pulled forward, and not being forced
backward, as many claim.-T. G. Shir-

EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST.
\ Letter Of Recommendation That
Was Taken for q Presriptfon
for Cough Medicine.

A young man being out Of employment
recently requested a former employer to
give him letter of Recommendation to aid
him in securing situation. The letter was
written and handed to the applicant, who
was quite unable to read it, as was every
person to whom it was shown. He was
advised to take it to printing office, where
it could be deciphered, as compositors are
noted for being able to make out the worst
specimens Of writing, relates London Tit
Bits.
It was handed to compositors in various
offices, and in turn given up without beng
deciphered.
AS forlorn hope it was taken to chem
ist, who, from his long experience in de
ciphering prescriptions, had the reputation
of being able to read anything.
The man Of drugs took the paper, gazed
at it long and thoughtfully, and then seized
an empty quart bottle and hurried round
the shop, taking some fluids from sundry
bottles, and finally shaking the compound
vigorously Then, handing it to the owner
of the letter, he remarked to that aston.

Drainage Under the Barn.

Drainage is thing that is frequent
ly neglected in the construction of a
stable. The plot of ground under the
barn is permitted to accumulate mois-
ture and to lose none Of it except
through overflow. This wet ground
under the stable is a fruitful source
of development for certain germs.
The ground should be so well drained
that the ground under the stable will
be always dry. Moreover the barn
yard should be thoroughly drained,
not only by digging ditch to carry
off the surface water, but also by tile
drains laid three feet under the
ground and quite c.ose. The result
of such drains is to render the ground
porous and enable the liquids to pass
quickly into the earth.-Farmers' Re-

Basket Which Intsrests

The thin man looked just as If everybody
in the world imposed on him. Even his
mustache grew crooked. He came into the
car of the suburban train sdewise, depos-
tied his basket gingerly and slid into the
seat beside it. As soon as the train cleared
the tunnel the basket meowed. The than
man smiled back at the man across the
aisle, and gave the basket shake. An
other meow. A little girl in the seat in
front stood up on the cushion and peered
at the basket, relates the New York Post.
"Like cats!" the thin man asked.
"Yep," the child answered. "Lemme SEQ
it,
'No; it might get away" the thin man
said, with another smile.
The basket preserved silence for several
minutes, then it began to cluck. The
child's eyes opened wide.
Like chickens" the thin man asked.
Before the child could reply the basket
emitted shrill whistle, and the man across
the aisle, whose face was as puzzled as the
child's, asked:
"What have you there, anyhow"

OLDEST CONVICT
GETS PARD0NED

jackson Miss. Dec. 12.-Jake Coop
or the oldest convict in the Mississippi
penitentiary in length of service was
released from the institution yesterday
and has returned to his home in War
rem county. Cooper was sent up on
the 4th of january 1873 on the charge
of manslaughter and served nearly
thirty years in the institution. He is
now nearly seventy years of age.
The average length of service of
life long term prisoner in the Missis-
sippi penitentiary Is about fifteen

tion that fuctuates between 1000 and
100. Thirty-two are now serving
sentences ranging from 25 to 80 years.
Over one-half of the total number are
serving terms ranging from 2 to 10
years, Two white women and thirty
negresses are on the prison register.
The next oldest prisoner in length
Of service now within the walls is Joe
Jeshnson, who was sent up from 1ssa-

THRILLING RESCUE
Barge Captain and Family Saved
from 1.-THE Sea.

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 13.-Stand-
ing on the deck of sinking barge in
a wild gale, Capt. Lewis Whalen,
seeing no chance of rescue to come
nearer, picked up his two children,
one after another, and hurled then,
on board the tug that was trying to
reach them. Then, seizing line that
had been thrown him, ne tied it
around his wife's waist and threw her
overheard, following her to safety.
The tug Charles McWilliams, Capt.
A. N. Van Ettan, with the barges
Dixie and Lady Jane. loaded with coal
and bound for New Lo1don, was max
ing for the shelter of Duck Island
beak water, off Clinton, Conn.,. yester-
day afternoon in a terrific gale. The
hawsers broke and the barges went
adrift. seie
On the Dixie were Capt. John Snow
and wife of this eity and on the Lady
Jane were Capt. Lewis Whalen, his
wife and two small children of Jersey
City. The barges were tossed about
like chips IL. e..n S. ...ss,... ,4
Capt Van Etan turned about and
started the work of rescuing those
aboard the coal barges. It was per-
ilous undertaking. for it was dan
gerous for the tcwboat to come too
close to Them, Those on the Lady
Jane were taken off first.
The MoWilliams came to with in
fifteen feet of the Lady Jane, and
when all was ready Capt. Whalen
took up his youngest child and swing
ing 1T few times to gain force.
threw 1t over to the Grew of the tug
boat, who caught the child in their
arms. The second child went through
the same ceremony.
ALI this time the waves were break
ing over the barge and tug and they
were rolling IN the trough of the sea.
The rescue of Mrs. Whalen was
difficult. It was feared that If she at
tempted to jump from the barge she
would fall overheard, SO Capt. Van
Ettan decided the best method would
be to fasten hawser about her waist
and throw her overheard. The men on
the tugboat cast of stout hawser,
and one end was wound about the
waist of Mrs. Whalen and made fast.
The tugboat crew made the other end
fast TO the bits, and. taking in the
slack, stood ready to pull the hawser.
Mrs Whelen, dressed only in light
clothes, stood on the rail OF the coal
barge and her husband hurled her as
far as he could toward the tug. All
hands OF the MoWilliams pulled on
the hawser, and out of the icy water
was drawn the plucky wife of the
Lady James skipper. She was unoon-
scious, but soon revived. Capt.
Whalen, with q Jump landed in the
arms OF the men OF the MoWiiliRms.
Capt. Shows wife was hauled aboard
the tug like Mrs Whalen. Capt
Snow jumped to the deck of the Nc
Williams.
Two minutes after the six had been
saved the Lady Jane went down, car.
rying the Dixie with it.
