BACK FROM TEXAS.
DIR. Kendrick Returns from His
Trip to the West.

DR.. W. G. Kendrick has returned
from a visit to his brother, Mr.. b. j.
Kendrick, near Waco, Tex. The doc
tor has a mum Der of interesting stories
connected with his trip, and his many
friends have enjoyed the airing OF
some of his experiences. He brought
home a cane which is something
of curiosity. 1t is made of III pieces
of cow and buffalo horn, and presents
quite an odd and attractive appear
ance.
Among the pleasant incidents con-.
nected with DIR. Hendricks visit to
Texas was family reunion which oc-
Cured at the home of his brother.
More than twenty-five children and
grandchildren of Captain Kendrick
were present, and the event was very
enjoyable one. The following inter-
esting account of the occasion appear
ed in a Waco paper:
"Nestled among the live oaks near
White Hall is the home of Captain
and Mrs. B. j. Kendrick. In this home
where quiet reigns supreme the mo-
notony was broken yesterday by TWEEN
tv-three jolly, frolicsomc grandc2tl-
dren-not only these grandchildren,
but the parents of these children, sons
and daughters of Captain and Mrs.
Kendrick. The occasion was the re-
union of the family in honor OF DR.. W.
c. Kendrick of Dawson, Ca, brother
of Captain Kendrick, who is visiting
the family and other relatives. 1t was
expected that all the children would
be present, but from some cause Mrs.
J. Kendrick of Quanah and Mrs. Alice
Buster of Somerville failed to reach
there, hence there was some disap-
pointment.
"Fifty-two are the number of grand
children who live in different portions
of Texas, hence the above mentioned
number is less than half. The children
present were John Kendrick of Waco,
Mrs. w. G. Buster of Weatherfords
Meredith Kendrick of Leroy, j. NJ.
Kendrick of Alta Vista and Mrs. o..
w. Bolger of Hewitt 1t is unneces-
sary to say the children and grand
children and all present spent pleas
ant day, for the preceding reunions
we're evidence sufficient to give them
assurance of just such day-one solid
round of pleasure from their arrival
until time for departure.
"Covers we're spread for fifty-three
persons. The dinner was bountiful
and ice cream was also served, to
which ample justice was done. The
young people spent part of the after
noon in promenading around and gath
ering flowers from the wayside. The
older ones talked of days gone by and
of old friends in Georgia. Many OF
whom inquiry was made have passed
oyer the river.
"Thus the day was spent until p.
M, the time for departure, all hoping
that Captain and Mrs. Kenorick may
have the pleasure of many more happy
reunions OF the family ere the journey
of life is ended.

PROFIT IN CAPONIZING.
A simple Operation and Some Reasons
Why 1t Pays the Farmer to
Perform 1t.

The chief reason Tor caponizing cock
erels is to get a larger profit out of them.
Good capons generally sell for higher
price per pound than other poultry.
They also weigh more, and are marketed
at time when the flock is bringing lit
tie return. A flock of capOns are quiet,
do not crow and are easily taken care of.
The best breeds TO caponiZe are the
medium-siz varieties, such as Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandots, Rhode Island
Reds. etc. The Asiatics do not give as
satisfactory results unless kept until
they reach maturity. when they are so
large as to be beyond the reach of private
families 1t does not pay to caponize
smaller breeds, for they do not produce
dressed fowls OF the highest quality. Ca
pons are usually marketed at from
six to Il months of age. and the market
for them opens soon after the holidays.
The best time to caponize is when the
cockerels are three to four months old.
At this age the operation can be per-
formed with less danger than when the
birds are older and larger. A bright,
sunny day must be chosen for the OPP
GRAFTON and the birds must have been
tasted for at least "a hours previous. a
special set of instruments are neces-
sary for this purpose, and the work re-
quires skill and care One may easily
acquire the skill by practicing on a few
dead birds.-Orange Judd Farmer.

DO you have any drinking houses
in your township" l inquired lately
of a friend from my native county in
this state. No" he replied. mot one.
Our people have voted it out" In
that township there is no manufac-
ture of poverty and crime done at the
counter. What is accomplished in
that township may be accomplished in
any other, provided the same thorough
education of the people on temperance
is carried out. The pulpit has always
been outspoken for temperance in that
community
Multitudes of the humber classes
may be rescued from the clutch of the
dram-shOp by personal effort. This
is the line of effort in which the Saw
yers, Moodys, Murphys, Reynolds,
Coughs and Willards did their best
service. Father Mathew saved thou
sands OF his fellow-countrymen from
the whisky shop by his own personal
effort My Irish gardener refused to
touch WHISKY even as medicine, when
he was sick. He belonged to a "Fa-
Their Mathew Abstinence society" The
dead hand of the Irish apostle held
him back. There is an immense field
for this Christian temperance propa-
ganda among the working classes, and
the educated Christian class ought TO
go into it. Horace Greeley told me
that none of his work paid better than
this-tO open temperance coffee

have lately seen in an English
b Newspaper the announcement that

vertisement contains the following
sentence: These premises are sur

done at the counter. approaching $4,000

This cold-blooded announcement
smells of the pit. Beelzebub himself
could not frame a more internal SEN
tence than this one, in which the dram
dealer tells how cunningly he has
planted his death-trap between those
laborers' wages and all their needy
wives and children. He has reared
his toll-gate right in the very track
of these well-paid hands. so that he
may levy on them at the rate of $4,000
per month. For this sum he retails
to these operatives disease, poverty.
disgrace. and endless destruction. We
feel our fingers instinctively twitching
to get such a scoundrel by the jugu-
lar. and gripping it until he is as pur-
pie in the countenance as any of his
victims.
But why spend our righteous indig-
nation upon a foreign liquor seller,
when this same conspiracy against the
wages and honor and lives of working
men is being carried on in our land?
Precisely the crime which that Eng
lishman so shamelessly advertised is
being perpetrated here in all our fac
tory towns, in all our cities, and in a
great majority of our villages. At this
time the labor question is one of the
foremost questions of the hour. Dis
cussions about labor. about wages, and
about the needs of the labOring classes
are engaging the pens and the tongues
of the ablest writer's of the country.
