Where the Hog Leads.

For quick returns the hog is far
ahead of the steer or sheep. He ID
easily fitted for slaughter at six months
old, and at that time, il he has been
we'll fattened, 80 per cent Of his live
weight is In dressed meat. But, as the
saying goes, every part of him except
ing the grunt ard the squesli is utilized.
The bristles, the intestines OF sausage
castings, the blood and the bone, all plsy
their parts, while the liver and heart
are favorite food with many. The steer
will need about three crops of corn to
fstten him, and often not more than 80
per cent. of his weight is dressed meat,
while 1t Is unusual to find one that does
not shrink over 40 per cent. One crop
of corn will fatten both the fall
and the spring pigs each year. All
of this ID q decided advantage In fa.
vor of the keeping Of swine, and those
who have done 30 and avoided the at
tacks of cholera and swine plague have
been successful and prosperous In their
business. s.-American Cultivator.

Poor Old Lady Beaconsaeld.

There is nothing in his life, says Lord
Ronald, that rebounds more to Lord
Beaconsfleld's credit than the manner
in which he treated his wife. She
could never have been but somewhat
commonplace though good hearted wo-
man. AS she grew old she became a
wreck of humanity, but the poor, fad
ed, painted old lady was ever treated
by her husband with Difference and
regard truly touching. 1t was painful
to see how, in what we are pleased to
call the highest society, poor old Lady
Beaconsfield was made a butt and a
laughing stock. Knowing how sensi-
tive Lord Beaconsfeld was to anything
approaching ridicule. l felt how bitter
~ he must have suffered when i'll II
crowded hall or drawing room his hosts
would what they called draw out old
Lady Beaconsfeld" and laugh at her
to her face, showing no reticence, re;
gard or decent feeling for the poor hus'
band, who. imperturbable as he ever
appeared, was probably suffering acute
ly at the conduct of his i'll bred hosts.

Government Under a Hat.

Secretary of War Moody is new to the
cabinet, but he hes learned the art Of
flsttery at an early stage of the game.
President Roosevelt" he says, carries
his government under bis own hat, al
though he is willing to listen to and
profit by the views Of Others"
The constitution of the United States
is formidable document and the presi-
dents rough rider hat will hardly hold
It. Since the government is under the
hat, therefore, the country will under
stand why it'does not always harmonic
with the Law from which government in
this republic should derive Its just
powers.
Messrs. Root and Wood are promis-
ing pupils also in the art of government
under hat. Chicago Chronicle.

Some phonetlc sne,1lne:.

Before we complain Of .he spelling
of our daughters we should perhaps
take exception TO the pronunciation of
our fathers. Most of the eccentricities
in spelling common to children arise
from their attempts to reproduce words
as they hear them pronounced. by their
elders. A child who was told to make
a list of all the fruits she knew wrote
down, "-Aps, strorbriz, rarsbriz, gooz-
bris. bnar,lers." Another spelled the
word "idea" with the addition of an
".r." "Idear." exclaimed her teacher
THAT is funny way of spelling
idea" Her pupil, however was not to
be outdone. Il know" she answered
readily, but l spelled it that way for
short. London Chronicle.

A witty Reply of Pope.

As narrated by Edward Walford In
his "Greater London Frederick,
prince Of Wales, sometimes visited AL
e1ander Pope at his villa. On one occa-
sion when the prince was on visit
Pope. after expressing the most dutiful
professions of attachment, gave his
royal highness an opportunity of OBJ
serving very shrewdly that his Che
poets) love for princes was inconsist-
ent with his dislike for kings. since
princes may in time become kings. Said
his royal highness:
"Mr. Pope. hear you don't like
princes"
"Sir. beg your pardon"
"Well, then. you don't like kings"
"Sir, must own that l like the lion
best before his claws are grown"

Their Cause Ia lust.

AAeA N0uoS ~ JUST
The sons of Matt Parrott, who are
the owners and editors Of the Waterloo
Reporter, having assisted in the devel-
opment of the property and succeeded
to its management on the death of their
father. have been criticised and are be-
ing criticised for the reason that they at
times speak their minds and fearlessly
tell the truth ss to politics.
They have been, says the Cedar Rap
ids Gazette. more than justified in all
that they have done. Matt Parrott had
fairly won from his party in the state
recognition. He was q candidate for
the nomination to the highest Office in
the gift Of the people of the state and
so far as the rank and file of the repub-
lican party was concerned, SO far as hon
esty was concerned, and patriotism and
regard for the rights Of others. the con-
test was between him and Abe Funk.
Both were honorable men and Funk lives
and keeps his honor, while Parrott kept
his honor and died of Q broken heart.
The convention was held In this city.
On the night before the nomination
was made Matt Parrott was told that If
he would sell himself, bis party and the
state for the Office he could have the
nomination. He declined to make the
sale on any terms. He would not sell
himself, and. the party and the state
were not his to sell. He told the emissa.
ries Of the railroads that he would keep
bis honor and trust to Providence.
They replied that he had made the
choice, that he might trust to Provi-
dence but that they would support
Shaw. They supported Shaw and he
was nominated. The state knows the
result. Shaw sold the party and he
sold the state to the railroads. A con.
test arose In the executive council, be
was accused by John Herriott. his guilt
was proved in the minds of the people
another convention was held in Cedsl
Rapids, Shaw was practically repudiat
ed by the delegates OF the party, Cum
minis, the enemy Of the men who hao
| selected Shaw before Providence, wal
nominated and John Herriott was mad,
lieutenant governor.
The sons Of Matt Parrot know from
their father the terms of the sale tha
were offered; they know the enormit!
of the insult to the man now dead
they know the men who planned thu
bribery and the betrayal, every one

not fighting the party, and in fighting
their enemies they are opposing thos
who have betrayed the party. They ar

The Fort Mill, S. g., Times says:
Just why Anderson county
one of the wealthiest and most
prosperous counties of the State
has sent Josh Ashley to the Leg
islature so often is a question fre-
quently asked. Ashley is big,
burly, uneducated fellow who is
in no wise fitted for membership
in that body. Not satisfied with
being a member Of the lower
branch Of the Legislature, how
ever, he asks the voters of Ander-
son county to send him to the
Senate. He is opposed by j. X.
Hood, an attorney of the city of
Anderson. The Times knows
nothing of the ability of MIR.
Hood, but he must indeed be an
Indifferent citizen If he ISN'T an
improvement over Josh Ashley.
Anderson, county should chIoro>
form Josh 'sambition.
The voters of Anderson county
are probably, in lesser degree,
following the political example
set them by the State at large, IN
sending Ashley to Colum 5ia. The
chIoroform idea, however, ap-
pears to he pretty good one and
it could doubtless be used to ad,
