from 1873 to 1882. The first three
years there were grasshoppers, and
the Heitfeld efforts to produce crops
proved a fiat failure. Following the
grasshoppers, there were five years
of good crops. Hcitfeld raised corn
and fed it to cattle and hogs and
made money rapidly. In the mean
while homesteaders were pouring into
Kansas and all the land around SEN
eca available for grazing was taken
up by farmers. In 1888, the future
senator from Idaho left for the far
west and homesteaded a place in
Big Bend county, Washington. He
worked in the Union Pacific shops
and made money in every legitimate
way that presented itself to an in
telligent husky youngster who wasn't
afraid 20 work. Before he had proved
up on his Washington farm, Mr. Heit-
field bought a farm near Lewiston,
Idaho, which is just across from the
Washington line, and began raising
cattle. The farm contained 800 acres
and was soon doubled 1t proved to
have been located in a great grain
country. 1t is in what is known as
the Palouse country and is north of
Clear Water and Snake river.
Although the farmers raised enough
wheat to make them rich. the rail
roads gObbled all the profits. The
railroads owned the elevators, and
the farmers had to do business
through these elevators. Heitfeld led
the movement to establish elevators
by the farmers for the farmers. 1t
was an alliance scheme, but it worked
to perfection. Each union had a sec
rotary, who received a salary and
managed the elevator. The railroad
companies refused to supply cars.
mo more cars of any kind go over
these tracks unless we are supplied
with cars for our wheat" said the
determined Heitfeld. The railroad
officials didn't see how Heitfeld would
stop them. They asked and found out.
A threat to tear up the track Just as
fast as it could be laid brought the
companies to time, and farming in the
Palouse country proved profta BILE, and
remains so TO this day. In 1894 Heit-
field was elected to the state senate.
The republicans controlled both
branches of the legislature, but the
new senator made a record which re-
suited in the offer to nominate him for
lieutenant governor. He declined it
and accepted the nomination for the
senate once more. The fusionists had
a clear majority, and with a senator
to elect, Heitfeld supported W. H.
Claggett, the democratic candidate.
There were three weeks of balloting
without any progress, when Heitfeld's
name was suggested. Populists as
well as democrats liked him, and the
deadlock was solved

HEITFELD, OF IDAHO.
Known in Washington as the Far
mer Senator"
Has Won Hundreds of Friends Be-
cause He Never Talks Unless He
Has Something to Say-His
Unique Career,

Henry Heitfeld, of Lewiston, Idaho,
who has served six years in the
United States senate and likes it so
well that he is willing to make it
II, is Kansan who was the neigh
Dor of w. j. Bailey, republican NOM
| inee for governor of his state. Heit-
field Inst met Bailey at a debating
society. Neither was 20 years old,
but Bailey gave early promise of
getting into politics. Young Heit-
field was trying to develop a farm
four miles east of Baileyville. Moth
ing was further from his mind than
seat in the United States senate.
Before he had any political ambition
he had been developed through every
experience which could come to a
farmer and business man, including
drought and Kansas grasshoppers. He
had developed a farm in Kansas, rent
ed school land, homesteaded a quar-
ter section in Washington, bought an
improved farm in Idaho, ''walloped"
the railroads of his state into sub
mission as a leader of the Farmers
alliance, and acquired a competency
before he ever thought of doing more
than serve his constituency in the
legislature. When he finally came
to the United States senate he
had very little experience in the
public service, but was rich in
worldly wisdom. Senator Heitfeld
is physically the biggest man in
the senate. Mason, of Illinois, has
more stomach, but he is squatty.
Heitfeld is big all over. He is six
feet and one inch tall, and weighs
$50 pounds.
Senator Heitfeld was born in St.
Louis January ~, 1859. When he was
IL years old his mother moved to
Kansas. His father died when he
was eight years old, and the support
of the family devolved upon him
from mis- early youth. At IA years of
age he rented quarter section of
school land and farmed near Seneca

IN THE EVENING HUSH.

What witchery dwells in the evening
When the fires burn low and the shadows
roam
Like fitting ghosts where the dim light
falls
In pickering shapes on the dusky walls :?
What spirits come when the heart goes
back,
And moves again Ger the darkened
track
That walk with me through the long ago
In the evening hush when the lights are
low?
What shadows DER the dim room creep
To silent mourn or to pause and weep
And place a wreath on some crumbled
Half lost in the dust of the ancient
gloom?
Forgotten shapes that in silence come
When the ears are dulled and the lips
are dumb,
And only the dream tides ebb and flow
In the evening hush when the lights are
low.
Gray specters out of the vanished Past
Come stealing forth; and all flying fast,
The mystic ones from the Future greet
And clasp white hands as the winding
sheet
Unrolls, quick flooding the haunted room
With the scent Of a long dead rose s
bloom;
And Memorys visions come and go,
In the evening hush when the lights are
low,
All. Always thus. in the eerie time
'Twixt night and day, I can hear the
chime
From the clock of Fate on either hand
From the pIrtaiDpd Past
known land
j have dreamed about, but never seen:
And 1 bark to both as l sit between,
While the white ones mingling come and
In the evening hush when the lights are
low!
There are ghosts OF dreams that
dreamed when young;
When Hope her shimmering bright scarf
flung,
All jeweled, streaming adown the sky,
And Loves bright chariots Numbered by
Bright dreams they were; but the bright
est now
Are they of the palest and care-lined
When the ghosts of the old days come
and go
In the evening hush when the lights are
low?
The freight dies and the night is here;
The Pickering shadows disappear
To roam again in the far-off land
And beckon me with a spectral hand.
All, well! not long till l, too, shall be
A silent one of the company,
And haunt the gloom and the firelights
glow
In the evening hush when the lights are
low.

Antitoxin Cures Lockisw,

Physicians connected with Harlem
hospital New York, have announced
the recovery from lockjaw and dis
charge from that institution of Jo-
seph, a son of silent Mike" Herman,
who was for many years member
of the New York baseball team. On
the Fourth of July he shot himself
in the hand with a blank cartridge.
He was taken to the hospital. Lock
jaw was developed, and it was decid-
ed to inject antitoxin into the spinal
cord, and not into the brain, as in
previous cases. The injections were
made between the first and second
lumbar vertebrate. On the fifteenth
day the jaw relaxed

FORTS MUST BE READY.
Coast Defenses 90 BE Placed In a Po-
sItiOn for Immediate Action in Case
of Danger,


sition for Immediate Action in Case
of Danger.
Another step toward putting coast
defenses in an efficient condition will
be taken in a few days. Gen. w. E.
Randolph, chief of artillery of the
army, who was president of the
board which recently attempted to
examine the gun carriages at coast
forts, has made a recommendation
which he believes will have practical
results. He has suggested that an
order be issued from the war depart
ment to the effect that all command
ers at forts be required to keep the
gun mechanism in good order and to
have the officers and men constantly
in training.
To do this he has urged that he be
allowed to designate the periods of
target practice with great guns at
various forts. He proposes that not
more than one days notice will be
given when such target practice will
commence. Gen. Randolph says that
this will serve to keep the forts in
an efficient condition. Post COM
manders will not care to run the risk
of being caught with their guns out
of order and their men out of train
ing. He believes that "a hours no
tice is sufficient if post commanders
do their duty.
Under the prospects of being called
upon on such short notice to do i'm
portant work. which will demon
strate the efficiency of a post fort,
the commanding officers will be com
PEELED to maintain a state of readi-
ness. If such a system prevailed,
Gen. Randolph has pointed out to the
departmental authorities that it
wo'old not be possible for board of
inspectors to visit a coast fort and
find the mechanism displaced, and, as
was the case at one post, some of the
tools necessary in the operation of
the guns lost beyond recovery short
of many hours search.
This evidence of carelessness has
been impressed upon the official OBJ
servers recently, and they are deter
mined that some energetic measures
shall be introduced so as to keep the
coast Notifications in state of eff
cheney. They insist that the guns
should be ready on the shortest no
tice or the function of the coast fort
will be lacking.

ease.

Unless a sudden drought descends
on this region there will be no hegira
of hay fever sufferers from Illinois
this summer. The continued wet
weather, which has been an annoy
ance to many people, will turn out
benefactor to hosts of others, ac-
cording to the opinion of physicians,
who predict that the heavy rains will
act as an effectual preventive of the
annual hay fever attacks, says the
Galesburg Ill.) Evening Mail.
This condition of affairs will have
its effect on hotel keepers at the
northern lake resorts. Every Au-
gust thousands of unfortunate vic
TINS of hay fever seek relief in the
woods, where they can find company
for their misery, and escape the COM
ments on their personal appearance
which heartless immunes take every
opportunity to make. Several hun
dreds of the victims who throng the
small lake and beach resorts of up
per Michigan each year go from Chi
cagO. Most of the others make the
journey northward by way of Chi
cago, and the steamship companies
reap a rich harvest all during Au-
gust from the increased amount Of
travel, for many of the best places
of refuge are inaccessible save by
boats.
Heavy beating transforms drive the

cases which will develop this year I'M
der present conditions will be con-
fined to those caused by other agen-
cies than flower pollen. Local nasal
deformities and asthmatic tendencies
will bring on the dread affection to
many people but the majority of the
annual victims are destined to escape
unless it stops raining.

HOW CAN | TELL?

How do know I love him?
Oh! friend why dost thou ask,
Just raise the filmy curtain
And look beneath the mask
Upon the hidden anguish
OF just one fleeing hour
On a heart in secret bleeding
Then thou wilt know loves power
How do know love him?
Dear friend, canst thou not see
That in his hallowed presence
The world Is heaven to me
And though all earth were teeming
With glory bright and fair
To me 'twould be but darkness
Were his dear face not there.
How do know I love him?
Oh! friend true love is pure,
And earth could give no sorrow
But what I'd glad endure,
For him, life's bitterest heartache
Would be but sorrow dim,
When knew the daggers piercing
I suffered all for him.
How do I know 1 love him?
Oh! ask kind heaven above,
For twas God alone that taught me
The secret power Of love.

THE "J0LLY CURE"

There was g. whole lot of "horse
sense in the speech on the remedial
quality of mirth and laughter COM
pared to that Of pharmaceutical pre-
parations by the Rev. Frank Crane at
the annual banquet of the National
Wholesale Druggists. Standing be-
tween two illuminated plaster skulls he
declared that disease would become a
rarity if those whose minds are filled
with fear of it would indulge more in
mirth. His subject was "The Mirth
Cure" His address was epigrammatic
in nature Some of his epigrams were:
Man is the only animal that was
made to laugh, and science teaches that
laughter promotes health. 1t Is a sin
for us to substitute excessive drug
taking for laughter.
Laughter increases the blood circula-
ton.
It enlarges the heart.
1t expands the lungs.
1t jiggers the diaphragm
1t promotes the dioculation Of the
spleen.
once knew a man who laughs from
his neck up-an honest man laughs
from his diaphragm.
Beware Of the theologians who have
no sense Of mirth-they are not alto
gether human.
Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you-hang them on a chair with your
trousers, or drop them in a glass Of
water with your teeth.
II have gone into the mirth cure
business in all sincerity" continued DR..
Crane. II believe my theory is an
honest one. Chicago is the home Of
queer cures. We have from Almighty
God to mud-fron the teachings of the
Bible through Christian Science to Dr.
Dowie and to mud. Yes, we have an
institution on Wabash avenue where
they swat mud on their patients.
simply want to swat mirth on mine In
all respects to our pharmaceutical pro-
fession, I recommend to all humanity
my mirth cure-best cure on earth, to
be shaken before taken, and will keep
in all climates"
