A Pretty Good Haul.

pect, who had just returned from st.
Simon's Island, according to the New
York Times. well, 1 should think
so, l hired a boat and a man to tend
to it. He was to bait the hook and take
off the fish as 1 caught 'em. All that
| expected to do was just haul 'em in
Well, sir, we must have struck a
regular school of EN-, and a mighty
big one, for the first thing 1 knew 1
was catching 'em so fast that the man
couldn't keep up with me, and had
to help him take 'em off the hook an
put on bait till 1 didn't get time to do
anything else
who hauled in the fish them"
Who hauled EN- in? Bless your
soul, they didn't need any haulin' in.
I'll tell you what's a fact They must
have been sheepSheads, for they acted
just like a flock of sheep. Once they
got started coming into that boat they
commenced to jump over the gunwales,
an first l knew the boat was so full
she was about to sink. Me an the
man had to drop everything else an
go to THROWN 'em overboard's fast
as we could sling EN-. We threw over
more'n two ton. an as soon as we
could get up sail we put in to shore.
l put up forty barrel of what we had
left
How did you know that you threw
more than two tons overheard? How
could you tell that?"
Tell? Why, confound it. 1 weighed

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dern.) says:
''The chasing of the whole force of an
thracite miners as rebels against the
laws and institutions of the country.
because very few have committed
crimes of violence and vandalism.
comes with poor grace from men whose
lives are spent in contriving schemes
for overreaching their fellows"
The New Orleans States (Dem.) says:
'"rhe Anthracite Coal Trust on one side
and the Bituminous Coal Trust on the
other, are at this moment squeezing
The public between them and forcing
all who can afford it to pay ten or more
times the just price for hard coal and
four times the just price for soft. And
this, particularly in the cold season, is
as much necessary of life as corn or
beef or any food stuff. But, the G. o.
P. stands by the tariff"
The Florida Times-Union and Citizen
(Dem.) has this to say of the kindly
personal feeling for President Reose-
Welt that Exists in the South as we'll as
in the North: Perhaps it is due to the
fact that he has in his veins in equal
proportion the blood of the North and
the South. He is manly mana great
admirer of courage. and his Southern
ancestors made regulations for courage
in defense of their country, and if we
Judge from his speeches we may infer
that the principal fighting record of the
family in the Civil War was made in
the armies of the Confederacy."
The Richmond News (Dem.) says:
Senator 3. r. Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, is advertised as declaring as his
remedy for the ending of the coal
strike that few of the coal mine oper-
ators be hanged. Nobody takes this
senator seriously. but the bitter and
humiliating aspect of him is that out
side of the South he is accepted as a
representative of the thought and pur-
pose and character of the South: for
he is a member of the Senate of these
United States, the highest legislative
body in the world, sent there by South
ern people to represent them"

Tt is altogether improbabl that the
soothing, succulent concoction which
the man in the blue serge drank at the
bar was anything Lethelike in its ef
feet, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. 1t was just a common specific
for the ills that the soot-impregnated
atmosphere on lower Broadway breeds:
and it cost fifteen cents.
The man looked into the mirror and
watched himself slipping his drink.
Then he dried his hands on the little
napkin, picked up the pink slip the
bartender gave him. and holding 1t
firmly in his right hand, walked slow
ly and with dignity straight past the
Argus-eyed cashier and out the door
of the cafe. The cashier appeared not
to have noticed him.
About ten minutes later the man
with the soothing drink inside the blue
serge suit came painting into the cafe.
He held the pink slip in his hand, and
he looked at it for a few seconds as
he stood hesitatingly near the door.
Staring timidly around the room. he
at length Strengthened up and marched
boldly up to the cashiers desk with
the hot, panied look on his face of one
who knows that his offense is unDar-
donable, but is going to confess, any
how.
Walked right out and forget to pay
my check" he stammered, laying down
the crumpled pink slip, and a $40 bill.
If he had had a larger one with him
he would have presented it. just to
show that he didn't need to cheat any
body out of IS cents. He was plainly
surprised when the cashier didn't act
bit angry.
why, didn't you call me back?'' he
asked.
"Oh, 1 knew you'd come back all
right" answered the cashier. They al
ways do, and it happens twenty times
a day. / used to get anxious, and yell
out so that everybody in the cafe look
eG at the man who forgot. That en-
barrassed him, and often made him an
Sry. So l quit it, and how much do you
suppose I've lost?'
The blue serge man shook his head.
Five cents" said the cashier.
well, I'll be jiggered.' unused the
careless man, as he walked proudly
away.
"Diogenes should have been a cash
ier," observed another customer.
"Eh?' said the cashier.

MIR. FIFE.s PROBLEM.

The issuing of the third challenge
on behalf of Sir Thomas Upton by the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club at Belfast,
Ireland, on Tuesday, has sent a thrill
of excitement through yachting cir
cles in this country, and perhaps in
Europe also. This challenge was of
course expected, though there was a
report a few days ago that it might
be deferred for a year. Sir Thomas evil
IDENTIFY believes in the old saying, "If
at first you don't succeed, try, try
again." He has an ample fortune, and
there is no reason why he should not
spend a portion of it in trying to take
the Americas cup back to England
Now Mr.. Fife has a problem to solve,
namely, to build a boat that can beat
any craft the New York Yacht Club
can produce. There is no doubt of
course that he will design the new boat.
Sir Thomas has the utmost confidence
in him. 1t is the understanding that
he has already made up his mind in
regard to the sort of boat he will de-
sign. According to the dispatches yes
terday it will be radically different
from either of the Shamrocks. The
aim will be to produce a boat better
adapted to the fall weather off Sandy
Hook.
OF course the Herreshoffs will build
the new defender. We called attention
a day or two ago to the report that
Mr.. Nat Herreshoff had some new
wrinkles which he intended to incor-
porate in it, 1t is an interesting ques-
ton, however, whether he thinks he
can build a faster boat than the CO.
lumbia, the winner of the last con-
test and the one before the last He
though the owners of that craft still
insist that she will yet prove herself
to be a better boat than the Columbia.
The Constitution of course will be in
the trial races, and it is within the
bounds of possibility that the pre-
dictiol of her owners will be verified.
There will be wagers. however that
the Columbia will be chosen again.
There will be plenty of interest in
yachting circles until the race has
been sailed, though il is year off. it
is hardly probable that Mr.. Lawson of
Boston will intervene. in the contest
His experience in the last cup contest
was sufficient to set him against yacht
ing, and to induce him to write rather
interesting book.

what a Jealous Wife Found.

A Fayette woman suspected that her

night she saw him pass quietly into

took few matches in her hand, and.
hastily placing a shawl over her head,
as the hired girl often did, entered
the back door, and Immediately she
was seized and kissed and embraced
in an ardent manner. With heart all
most bursting, the wife prepared to
administer a terrible rebuke to the
faithless spouse, and, tearing herself
away from his fond embrace, she
struck match and stood face to face
with--the hired man.

BROADER EDUCATION FOR FARM


one Of the thoughts thrown out in
| and address delivered at the opening
/ session Of the Farmers National Con-
/ gress at Macon on Tuesday was that
| the education for the farmer should
| be broader. The fact was pointed out
! that in the last thirty years remark
able progress had been made in edu-
eating the farmer as to the methods
for getting the best results from the
soil. Farmers understand much bet
ter than their fathers did the kind of
soil adapted to certain kinds of crops.
the sort of fertilizers needed by soils
to produce the best results, how crops
may be improved by the selection OF
seeds, how stock should be treated in
order to make it yield the largest profit.
what fruit trees need to insure pro-
lection from diseases of one kind and
another and to get a profitable yield
and a hundred other things that are
calculated to make the calling of the
farmer pay. but, according to the idea
dwelt upon in the address in question,
the education of the farmer should take
a wider scope, and include economic
and governmental questions, because
his interests are largely involved in
such questions. He ought to know
something about the problems of
transportation. about the best mar
kets for his Products, and he ought to
be well informed concerning the theory
of the general government, and, also,
about its practical workings. He ought
to concern himself with the questions
which are continually coming to the
front in national and state legislatures.
In other words. the calling of farmer
should be raised to the dignity of a
profession The farmer should be ready
il called upon, to step in the halls of
the legislature of his state and act in
diligently upon the questions that
come before such a body.
There is no doubt of course that
there arc farmers who are as we'll
educated as the average professional
man, and they keep themselves we'll
informed on the news of the day and
the developments in the various fields
of endeavor but the number is far
from being as large as it should be.
The effort should be to increase it. to
make the calling of the farmer as at
tractive as that of any other calling
or any profession. Life on a farm
ought to be made as attractive as life
in town, and the calling of a farmer
should rank with the professions.
When that is the case not only will
farms be far more productive than
they are now, because they will be con-
Quoted with a greater degree of in
telljgence-that is, with far greater
knowledge Of the possibilities of the
soil-but boys will not be in a hurry
to leave the farm. On the contrary
there will be a steady movement to
the farm instead away from it. The
barrenness of the farmers life will be
a thing of the past and he will be
regarded as occupying the most de-
sirable place in the field of endeavor.

The New York newspapers continue
to take deep interest in Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan's order of $4,000 tons of British
coal, to be brought to New York at
once. One of them alleges it has dis.
covered that the order has been, or will
be, placed with the Scotch United Col
heries Company, and that the cost of
the coal laid down in New York will
be Sc per ton. The same paper has a
London cable which says that by 'or-
dering the coal from the Scotch COM
pany, Mr.. Morgan viii do a good stroke
of business, for j. S. Morgan & Co.
are the financial sponsors of the COM
rary, having recently underwritten its
capital of 91,OOO.00 and an order for
$4,000 tons would clean up the Scotch
company's stock of coal at a handsome
profit and impart boom to the conf
pany's stock"

SPEAKER OF THE NEXT HOUSE.

The Philadelphia Press takes it for
granted that the Republicans will have
a majority in the next House, and as
sures the country that Pennsylvania
ought to be honored with the Speaker
ship. 1t points out that Pennsylvania
for many years has been sending a
larger Republican delegation to the
House than any other state and that
her Congressman are among the ablest
of that body. OF course it is not diff
cult to guess that the Press is advo-
eating the election of Hon. John Dali
zell to that high and honorable office.
Mr.. Dalzell is a staunch Republican
and can always be found upholding
the doctrine of protection against any
and all corners.
Isn't Pennsylvania rather early in
the field with its candidate? Mr.. Dali
zell is a good enough man for Speaker
as Republicans go, but the next House
has not yet been elected, and the cleo
ton for Speaker is a long way off
1t is by no means certain that the
Republicans will control the next
House. The tide of public sentiment
seems to be running against them Just
now. In the West the Republican sem
timent in favor of tariff reform is get
ting stronger every day, and tariff re-
form Republicans, seeing no chance for
a revision of the tariff while their
party controls Congress, may help to
bring about a change in the political
complexion of the next House. There
fore it would be we'll for the Press to
wait and see what the result of the
election is before it gives too much of
its time and space to advocating the
election of Mr.. Dalzell to the Speaker
ship.
But it is wrong in principle for
state to insist upon one of her sons
occupying the Speakers chair, without
regard to the question as to whether
or not he is the best man for the place.
The man best qualified for the office of
Speaker-that is, the best man of the
majority party-should be chosen to
preside over the House. The state
from which he halls should cut no fig
ure in the contest.

tives. since. the Senate being Republi-
can, they could not really do a great
