AUTUMN,

Autumn is the third season OF the
year. 1t is our chief harvest time, and
we store up our various crops Tor use in
the future. Autumn with spring con.
stitute the prettiest weather of the
year, for summer Is often too hot and
winter too cold to be pleasant. We can
look over the forest and tell the days
OF autumn are here by the great
change In the looks OF the trees.
Beautiful r the woods at this sea-
son OF the year andnever did the hands
of an artist throw such rich colors up
CT the canvass as may now be found
In the different foliage of the trees.
The leaves Of the beech are dyed in the
deepest orange that the yes ever saw
gathered in burning gold around an
autumn sunset along the western slope
of the sky.
But n sad thought comes to our
mind. The leaves passing from the
trees to the ground remind us that we
are passing from our business cares to
the grave--from the known to the un.
known.
In autumn. all classes of men go
hunting. 1t is one of the finest sports.
They kill squirrels, cartridges aud va
rious other kind Of game.
When all the leaves fall from the
trees it robs the little birds of having
warm places for their nesting, unless
they fly to the cedars and pines to keep
themselves warm for these are about
the only one that hold their leaves.
In u country autumn is the great
cotton selling time OF the year. Farm
ers take their bales of cotton from the
plantations and sell them to the num-
erous factories and spectators in the
country, who as a rule Cypress the
tiller of the soil as much as possible.
We have more of that 33b all wool

Fortunes in Rice
VAST POSSIBLE WEALTH WAS led IN A
MATRIMONIAL CUSTOM

III fellow throws an old shoe
filled with rice after you when you
get married this winter, young man,
go pick up every grain Of It," said a
rice enthusiast. "for there is fortune
in it. was just thinking to-day about
the vast amount of wealth that has
been wasted in this way, and it is
simply alarming when you come to
think of it. I went to the convention
OF Rice men at Crowley recently, and
/ learned few things about rice that
I never knew before. Why, the pos
sibilities Of grain of rice will actual
~ make a fellows head swim.
Here is grain which l have been
carrying in my pocket since the con-
vention, purely for illustrative pur-
poses. I was reading in the Plaque
mines Protector that one grain Of
rice would bring in the first year sixty
punches of rice, and that each bunch
contained $50 grains, which would
give total yield of $4,000 grains for
the first year. Now, this is no small
thing. when you come to think of it.
Suppose we plant the $4,000 grains
the second year, on the same basis we
would have a yield of 225, 600, 900
grains, which is $4,000 times $4,000.
Now the yield during the third year
would amount 10 $4,000 times 1885,
100000, on the same basis Of compu-
tation, which would be 1876, 000,O 900
grains of rice. Now l was reading
in another paper published in the rice
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1902-01-30

section that there are probably 10000
grains of rice to the pound, but this is
an approximation. Adopting it as
correct, at the end of the third year
one grain of rice will produce 337 $780,
600 pounds of rice, and the rice mathe-
matician, allowing 1862 pounds for q
barrel Of rice, figures that this will
amount to 2,OS3,333 barrels.
80 you can see that l am actually
carrying a fortune around here in my
vest pocket, and there is plenty Of
room left, too, for such other things
as may want to put into my pocket.
In these figures have made no allow
ance for those things which sometimes
happen to any kind of seed that may
be sown, but there is good lesson in
the calculation at that. When we
come to think about the number OF
grains of rice that have been wasted
in the happy practice Of tossing an
old shoe after the newly-married
couple, we are almost shocked at the
extravaganza of the world. The rice
thrown away in this way, since the
custom was first launched, would
have saved the lives of all the people
who have ever starved to death since
the world began, If it had been allowed
to reach it's full multiplying posi-
bilities. So I say, young man, when
the old shoe is thrown after you, go
pick every grain of rice up. settle
down where rice will grow, and get
rich"

too, that they come. but that mouth Is
fitted with asbestos cloth.
Stage rats introduce us to another
method of locomotion on the part of
inanimate straw and canvas. Rats are
made big enough to admit small
boys; in such cases, of course, the boys
do the moving. But the common stage
rat is usually stuffed with straw.
There is no man or boy or other in
animate thing inside. Power to move
is impaired to them from without, by
means of invisible wires attached to
their noses and manipulated from be-
hind the scenes. Their movement con-
sists of only a glide, and that is as
nearly as possible the true movement
Of the real rat, it being the movement
that creates the least disturbance, and
is, therefore, the most suitable for a
hunted animal. Stage rats may glide
in straight line, or they may zig
gag and perform in more or less elabo-
rate ways, according to the arrange
ments made on the stage. These ar
rangements comprise the fixing Of pull
leys on the floor or in the wall or else
where and the laying of invisible
wires over them. The more elaborate
the arrangement of pullys. the more
varied will be the lines of movement
traced by the rats.

Tricks of
the Staee

Stage animals are very proud Of the
organs they can move. II they can
roll an eye. they never cease to roll
1t SO long as they think any one is
looking; and If they can switch tail.
they switch it. This weakness for
showing of gets them into trouble
sometimes, just as weaknesses in
general get real animals into trouble.
Hence an elephant, with a fine, freely
moving tail began to switch that tail
with great vigor while on its way to
the front of the house. Just as it was
emerging from the side into view the
woolly end of the tail, in it's abandon
ed flights. caught gas jet, and at the
same instant caught fire. The fire
spread as rapidly as dry, gummy cam
vas and dry withes could make it
spread. and the elephant appeared in
blaze. Fortunately for the men in
side the flames were on the top, and
the first intimation they received of
the confagration was a feeling as of
something cold striking them on the
back. 1t was water, and the water in
creased and they were drenched and
Mortified. for they knew not whence
1t came or what it meant or what
might come next.
A swordf1sh is, no doubt, a very i'm
pressive creature on the stage. the
sword naturally receiving great en-
phasis from the maker and special
publicity from the man inside. 1t is
thus common thing for that sword
to get into trouble, and for the poor
fish. in stage procession, to ask a
harmless mussel or oyster to take
care of my sword!" A dragon thirteen

Smooth Political Trick


zone of the smoothest political
tricks ever played" said Henry C.
Edgerton of Baltimore to Washing
ton Post man, was that pulled off in
Talbot county, on the eastern shore of
Maryland, some years ago, when about
200 negroes voted the wrong ticket
without knowing it before our side
found out that anything was going
wrong. The county was very close
that year and the Republicans had to
count upon the votes of the negroes to
win. Few of these citizens could read,
but they had been instructed to put
their cross mark on the Australian
ballot in front of Massa Lncoln's
nose. They had shown that they
could at least do this much, and the
Republicans considered everything
we'll in hand.
But the Democrats were in control
of the county and the Jackson and
Liberty emblem had first place on the
ballot, the Democrats also having
charge of all the election printing.
When the official sample ballots were
published not one Republican in the
county for some strange reason MOTTO
ed that Lincoln's head in the Repub-
lican emblem was turned to the left
instead of to the right. as had always
been the custom.
1.-The result was naturally that all
the illiterate negroes who voted in
front of Lincoln's nose marked their
crosses to the right of Jackson and
Liberty thereby voting the straight
Democratic ticket. About II a. m.
some backwoods Republican noticed
that Lipcoln's face was turned the

nLD zoe, THE NIGHT wATcHMAM

UlO ZOE, The NIGHT WATCHMAN
tFrom the Pail Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late
on q dreary winters night has our
sympathy gone out to the poor old
night-watchman a. he sat huddled up
over his cage hre. overlooking the ex-
cavations which our city council in
their wisdom or otherwise, allow the
different water companies to make 90
frequently in our congested streets.
In all weathers and under all climatic
conditions. the poor old night-watch-
man ts obliged to keep watch over the
companies property. and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What
life. to be sure; what privations ana
hardships; no wonder they have aches
and pains, which nothing but st. ia.

''Old Joe" is in the employ Of the
lambeth Water Works, and Is we'll

night-watchman for many years, In
the course Of which he has undergone
many experiences. What with wet and
cold, he contracted rheumatism and SCI
atica, which fairly doubled him up, and

Joe whether he would much longer be

his good wife and himself depended
for a livelihood; but as it happened, q
passerby. who had for some nights no.

sented him with bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil, and told him to use it. Old Joe
followed the advice given; he crawled
home the next morning and bade his
wife rub his aching back with the st.
Jacobs Oil "a gentleman gave him."
and undoubtedly his wife did rub, for
when old Joe went on duty at night he
met his friend and benefactor, to
whom he remarked: Them Oils you
gave me. Guv'nor, did give me doing:
they was like pins and needles for a
time, but look at me now" and old
Joe began to run and jump about like a
young colt. All pain, stiffness and
soreness had gone; he had been tell

the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and
the poor, high and low the same way.
It has conquered pain for fifty years.
