CrawIey's Growing Barn.

Tan Crawley, a farmer of the Cor
al Hill country. had a novel expert
ence. A few years ago he guilt a
small barn, and in it's construction
used green willow r"sts at the cor
ners and along the side For some
time uothing unusual was noticed,
but after year it was observed that
while he had laid the floor near the
ground. it was three feet above the
soil. He then discovered that the
willow posts. instead Of being dead,
were alive, and had taken root and
were growing, anl that in their up
ward movement they had raised the
barn. Last spring the barn was on
stills nine feet high, and he put in a
lew floor and surrounded the posts
with siding, thereby making a two.
story affair. There is now space
O. twelve inches between the INV
flour and the ground Crawley ex-

Inevitable "Eye-Witness."

The late John T. Crisp was par
ticipant in the battle of Westport. He
liked to describe the engagement
from his point of view. and he new
er failed to interest his auditors. A
few years ago, while seated at a
''round table" in a downtown cafe,
he gave, according to friend, free
vent to his wonderful imagination
in the presence of Richard Gentry
and others who were at the scene Of
the battle at the time it ragged the
fierceSt.
The colonel told of the way his COM
pany had charged the enemy, or how
the federalists were put to flight and
of how he himself had been in the
forefront of the bloody battle.
Gentry, who was member Of
Crisp's company. finally interrupted
q beautiful piece of word painting
about the horrors of war by saying:
Now, colonel, you know you ran
like on that day. | was running
with you and you kept ahead OF me
Until we were out of range OF the
union guns. Yes, sir, we ran, sir:
by CAD, sir, you retreated, sir, and

Speed of Common House Fly.

The common house fly is very rapid
IN it's fight, but its wings make 500
beats a second and send it through the
air twenty-five foo, under ordinary
circumstances, in that space of time.
When the insect is alarmed it has been
found that it increases it's rate Of
speed to over $50 feet pc: second. II
it could sontinue such rapid flight for
a mile in straight line it would cover
that distance in exactly thirty-three
seconds.

By decree of nature. one-halt
the world fourishes at the expense Of
the other half. The sparrow chases
the butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem Of life is
twofold. 1t is not enough merely to
eat; it is necessary to avoid being
eaten. Yet nature detests killing for
Killings sake. Massacre forms no
part of her great plan. So we see
that every creature is provided with
some more or less effective quality Of
defence, by means Of which the at
tacks of its natural enemies are rem
dered less frequent or less deadly
Thus, the antelope, by means Of it's
superior speed, at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo, rolled in its
Nondrous coat of mail, lies secure
among score Of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
disting guishable from the snow on
which it crouches is often over.
looked by his foe the fox. But OF all
creatures none nave received more
ample protection than the insects.
Some of them possess stirgs, others
bite, and a few puff out clouds Of
poisonous vapor to stupefy or blind
their pursuers. Again, thera are in
sects clothed in impenetra5le armor,
insects covered with sharD spines
and prickles and others whose means
of defence consists in nothing but a
likeness to the objects which sur.
sound them.

CARBOLIC ACID
IN WASHINGTON
Three People, Two Men and
a Woman, Commit
Suicide.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2S.-
Three persons committed suicide in this
city today. All used carboIic acid as a
means of ending life. The three were
Leonard II. Mangum, former clerk in
the census office; Guy E. Padgett, a
real estate and insurance agent, and
Mrs. Sadie Plummer, young woman
whose husband keeps lunch room on
Pennsylvania avenue.
Mr.. Mangum was a native of North
Carolina, but lived many years in Ar
kansas. 1t is said that he was at one
time wealthy, but lost mis- money and
was compelled to come to this city to
seek employment. He lost his position
in the census Office last July and since
then has been unemployed. His body
was found beneath a tree in the reser-
vation south of the White house
grounds
The cause Of Padgett's death is un-
known, but it is thought he had lost
some money of late and had become
respondent. He was a member of the
Maccabees and Odd Fellows. Last
night, after leaving a lodge room, he
mailed his wife a brief note enclosing
500 in cash and asking her forgive
ness. Then he went home and his wife
today found his dead body in the bath
room.
Mrs. Plummer was found uncon-
scious lying across a bed in her room
and died soon after being taken to the
hospital. She is said to have attempt
ed suicide once before.

GRANT-WALLACE
DISAGREEMENT
Gen. Parrish Sheds Light
Upon a Civil War
Episode.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2S-
Gen. Charles S. Parrish, a veteran of
the Civil war, who formerly lived at
Wabash but who now resides at Car
thage, Kan, has written to a friend at
his old home and gives a chapter of
interesting history regarding the rela-
tions between Gen. U. S. Grant and
Gen. Lew Wallace. He says that the
story developed after the battle of Shi-
loh and in the opinion of many in the
army served as cause for the strain
ed relations between Grant and Wal
lace. Gen. Parrish's statement, epit-
omized, is as follows:
Just before the war Simon B. Buck
ner, as captain of the Louisville Grays,
attended an encampment at the Tippe-
canoe battle ground. Gen. Wallace was
captain of the Montgomery guards and
he and Buckner formed strong friend
ship. The next time they met was at
Fort Donelson, when Buckner surren-
dered. Buckner complained Of the
harshness of Grants terms and when
Grant arrived he found Wallace and
Buckner together. Buckner complain
ed to Grant about the terms Of the
surrender and inadvertently remarked
that Wallace had said that if he had
been in command the terms would
have been more liberal.
Grant resented such a statement by
a subordinate officer and showed his
Indignation plainly. Then came the
blunder at Shiloh, which was followed
by Sherman's personal denunciation of
Wallace and the latter's practical re-
tirement from the army. Gen. Parrish
said the trouble began at Donaldson,
where Wallace was inadvertently "giv-
en- away" by Buckner.
