that the latter say that in whatever form
the plan is introduced they will withdraw,
the friends Of the compulsory plan are all
the more insistent to have their constitu-

To those who would kill off the dogs for economy's sake, we commend the following from an exchange: Kill your dog and buy pig with the dollar you save on dog tax. The scraps you feed the dog would make the pig weigh 200 pounds, and then you could sell it and give your wife the money. Yes, kill your dear old faithful, trustful dog and buy a pig. But when you come home after a hard days toll, don't ex- pect that same pig to meet you two blocks away with a joyful cry of welcome in every jump. Sometimes when you feel unusu- ally blue and it seems as if the whole world was knocking against you, don't expect it to nestle up to your side and, laying it's head within your lap, wag out it's un-
 alloyed sympathy. Don't expect it to forsake it's meal of scraps just for the sake of being your companion on 8 lonely drive or walk. Don't expect it to do any of these little things. There is a vast difference between your most constant friend and a pig.

In the Land of Big Red Apples.

BIZ GONNA MAY MORRIS IN THE oMAHAN. To the Land of Big Red Apples,
 My wandering way has led, To the land of the downy peach,
 And the luscious berry bed. To the land of peace and plenty,
 Where fruits and golden grain, Stud many a sloping hillside,
 And undulating plain. Where the snowy balls of cotton,
 In the sunshine, nod and sway, And the Weed of Comfort blossoms, In it's unassuming way. Where 'possum and sweet potatoes
 Form dish exceeding rare, And Southern hospitality
 Is extended everywhere. Where a genial climate welcomes
 Both the invalid and strong, Offering its healthful waters free
 To all who pass along; And it's health renewing Zephyrs,
 Fan and kiss the cheek so pale, Bringing back again the roses
 Bringing life and vigCr hale. Where scenery, picturesque, charming, Woods, rocks and giant bills, W Here tilS nOChlIiS OiIu SOHE eCHoeS, In sweet, vibrating trills; A place where natural wonders,
 Are strikingly complete, And the home of that strange creature, The Swine, that Jews may eat. A land, fair, bright and sunny,
 Where welcomes the early spring; Where the rivers gently murmur,
 And the merry brooklets sing; Iris land of many virtues,
 Tho no picture dare we draw, Of this Land of Big Red Apples
 The state of Arkansas.

THE treasury department has just issued monograph giving the statistics ofthe growth of this nation during the century from 1900 to 1900, and the figures are of a nature to dazzle the imagina- tion, says the New York Conner cial. The total wealth of the country has grown from ST ,OOO,- 000,000 in 1850 to an estimated S94, ,00O, 100000 in 1900, or nearly 1,400 per cent. Our wealth per capita in 1850 was but S307, while in 1890 it was 1,235. At the beginning of the century the public debt was S15 per capita j; in 184O it had fallen to 21 cents. Before the beginning of the civil war, in 1861, it was S2.74, but in 1865 it had risen to S7698. Since then it has been steadily decreas- ing, until this year it is but S12.97, :, not at all a troublesome burden to a nation with the vast wealth pos- sessed by our own. The amount of money in circulation is now S28.40 per capita, the highest point 1t has ever attained. The deposits in the savings banks of theland amount to S2, ,507 GOA ,58n, which is a fair index to the pros- pepity enjoyed by the poorer classes, and the deposits in the national banks which are patro- nized by the wealthier classes, have grown from S5O0,910, ,873 in 1865 to S3, ,111, ,690, 196 this year.

PROFESSOR CLARK, of the Northwestern University of Chi cago, in recent lecture on polit- ical economy in which he stated that young man or young wo- man, who earned $500 a year ought to be able to save one- third of it, has raised 8 storm about his ears. There are few of us who like to be told that we ought to get along on half or less than we are in the habit of spending for the necessaries of life and a few of it's enjoyments, and we inveigh against having the ''petty eco- nomics'' dinged in our ears by
 nen who are getting as many thousands a year as they think hundreds are essential for the comfort and prosperity of their toilers. The lknack of saving is born in 8 man, just as any other great gift is, but it requires fos- tering to reach the eminence that Stephen Girard, Russell Sage, and Daniel Daucer did. Perhaps we owe an apology to Stephen and Russell for putting Daniel in the triumvir, for he was a simon pure miser and only known to flme as such, while Stephen and Russell are not. The man who practices the '.petty economies" is rather looked down upon by lis fellows, who do not worry about living within their income, but after time, when he begins 10 accumulate and becomes a man of substance they look up to him and call him lucky and won- der how he has accomplished 1t.

Fishing Bonito From Jibboom.
From Outing.


The bonito is one of the most rapacious
as well as the gamest of salt water fish,
He makes bold and gallant fight for his
life He delights in playing about the
bows of ship sailing swiftly in the glori-
ous trade winds. He eXults in the roar and
the tumble Of the foam stirred up by the
ships sharp cut-water in the sparkling
sea. That is the time when Jack, irtent
on mess of fresh FISH for dinner, seeks
to capture him with rude tackle. which or
dinarily consists of a large hook baited
with white rag and secured to a stout line.
Saliying out nimbly to the end of the fly
ing jibboom he sits astride it. and If the
ship is braced sharp up on the port tack,
as is the case when outward bound IN the
southeast trade, and the breeze Is blowing
stiff Jack has all he can do TO hang on
when the ship 'scends and pitches on the
heaying bosom of the sea. Over goes the
hook and line The lure skins in the water
as the vessel falls and rises. The bonitoes
rush forward to investigate with wariness
as well as boldness. If Jack Is lucky he
and If the fish happens to be a big fellow
he finds it no easy task to hoist him up to
his precarious perch on the jibbocm end.
Nor is the battle over when he has the fish
in his grasp. 1t is then. indeed, that The
real struggle begins, for the bonito out of
water is full of vigorous fight. and often
manages to get away after the hook Is sx-
tracted from his muscular jaw, while the
sailor, hanging on by his eyeiids and toe
nails, seeks to take him to the security OF
the deck.

BURNING SLATE.
A Fire That is Astonishing Some Of
the Good People of Kentucky.

From the Lexington (Ky) Herald.
A very curious and unusual phenomenon
can be seen by passengers on the Lexington
and Eastern railroad, near Argyle, in Pow
ell county, as they pass that point. There
was wreck on the road some time since
In which freight car was demolished SO
that 1t was impossible to repair 1t, and tho
only things of value about 1t were the irons.
1t was set on fire and burned. From that
fire slate which had been taken from a
nearby cut and used to make a fill caught
FIRE and has burned steadily since then,
spreading day by day. 1t does not burn
with any flame, but with slow, steady
glow, giving out heavy odor which seems
to be mixture of the odors Of coal oil and
sulphur
1t burns apparently with as much rapidity
and as steadily under the ground as it does
on top of the ground. To keep it from
reaching the railroad track and burning up
the ties Mr.. w. A Mcdowell, the engineer
OF the road, had a ditch several feet deep
dug along the track. This ditch was first
filled with water and then filled with earth
winch did not contain any slate. so that it
would stop the progress of the fire when It
was reached. similar ditch will be dug
at the base Of the hill from which the slate
was taken to keep the fire from extending
to it.
The railroad runs through that hill, and It
is feared that if it caught fire and burned
as has the slate along the track, the heat
would be so great that the trains could not
pass through the cut. 1t is so unusual for
slate to burn that the fact that this slate
has burned has attracted a good deal Of
attention. Some time ago one of the camel
coal mines in Morgan county caught fire.
and it was a long and serious task to get
it eXtinguished, but 1t was not generally
known that any slate had sufficient COM
buStible matter to burn steadily UNDER
ground for days. and the fire constantly

Aristocratic Russian Prisoners.

From the London Express
A Vienna paper states that few people
have any idea of the large number of men
and women of noble birth undergoing penal
servitude on the continent.
1t estimates that Russian prisons alone
contain 1900 arstocrats, while there are
several thousand noblemen in the penal es-
adjustments of Italy. Two Dukes of No
tarbartolo are, for instance, at present I'M
dergoing penal servitude for life in the
Italian prison of La Maddalena for the
brutal murder of young officer whom they
had swindled at card playing and who mad
threatened to denounce them as card
SharperS.
Among the convicts in a Belgian prison
are Prince Charles de LooZ-CoSWarem, who
committed a number Of gigantic frauds and
one crime of violence. and. the Marquis Of
Narela, for the murder of his own mother.
In France there are several hundred titled
aristocrats in prison. and though no sta
tistics are available regarding Austria and
Germany the same state of things is said
to exist there also.
