Uncle Sam Bays Wood

Walter Sunborg secured the contract to deliver 30 cords of dry-wood in 12-ft. lengths, to the Federal jail, at $6. 90 per cord. Three bidders put in the same figures, and rather than cut up the con- tract, the cards were cut. This is the cheapest wood ever delivered to the jail since it was located at Rampant.

First Ciapter of the Book of Chronicles.

' AND it came to pass, in the second year of the reign of Theodore, also call ed The Strenuous, that certain out lying province, pertaining to his realm, had long been afflicted in divers ways. By reason of it's remoteness, and rigor-) ous climate, few there were who cared to reside therein. Howbeit, as it was rich in rare frrs and precious metals, the daring sons of men braved it's dan gers and privations for the sake of gain and they did flock to the land of silvery midnights Men of venturesome spirit; some with their wives and little ones, and made their habitations in the frog en wilderness.
 q In those days the Great Sanhedron of people, which in the New World is call ed Congress, was greatly vexed by leg ions of parasites, known as office-seek- CTS, who cried aloud and spared not giv- ing the rulers no peace, by day or by night. And to some who had merit were given places of great trust, and to oth- CTS lesser positions. To each man ac- cording to his size, as nearly as might be. But there yet remained an bowling hungry pack, who utterly refused to go home or stop their yawp, by reason of which the rulers were moved to great cursing and bitterness.
 q Then Satan, whose private office is in the lobby, put it in the minds of those who sat in high places, to give the lead ing yawpers positions in the Northland, knowing full well that the small fry would follow, even as the OK that know eth his masters crib. As he said, so did they. Whereas did Satan chuckle nightly for he had already organized that region as cold storage annex of his own fiery kingdom. No sooper was the pie aprortioned than the motley mob returned; every man to his own house, where he filleda carpet-bag with doughnuts, and set his face to the north. q And Satan went behind the barn and lay down in the grass, where he rolled in ecstacy and howled for very joy.

NO RETURN TO SWEATSHoPS.

The Clothing Manufacturers Associ- ation is likely to wiz little public sym pathy in an effort to cheapen labor in the shop by returning to conditions of employment where the only check On the employer was the necessities of the employed. We have not fought the battle for the sanitary shop in vain. Probably the public cares nothing about the the employment of union or non- union labor in clothing shops, or whether q shop is open or closed" But it has very real interest in the matter Cf sanitary conditions in cloth ing factories, and is prepared to resist any return to the sweatshop, by the most drastic Legislation if need be. For the safety of the whole public lies in a general content life and the discontent caused by the employment of the cheap labor of foreign women and children is not good for the body polite. If the modern sanitary clothing manufactory is un-American, we do not want any sweatshop as d substitute. If the power of the workmen were taken away and the present restrictive labor laws repealed, it IS impossible to be. lieVe that anything else than a return to the sweatshop would happen. The present system is far more American than that for which it has been sub Stituted.-BoSton Transcript

THE GROWTH OF FARMING.

There is another side to the story about country boys rushing to the city ard leaving the farms depopulated. That there must also be a rush the other way is indicated by reports sent out from the department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau. According to these figures, since 1870 the number of farms in the United States has in creased from 2.001,193 to 5,739,O0O the value of farm products has swelled from $2,0G,000,0O0 to $3,764 O00, ,OOO, and the number of persons engaged in farming has grown from 5,SSS,9S7 10 1o,tS3,00o. Tho last named increase de- rives special significance from the fact that labor saving machinery has re- duced the number of hands required to do given amount of work. Agri- culture is the greatest of all wealth. producing industries. and there is no danger that it will cease to command the best efforts Of a large proportion of our population. Farmers are the most independent men on earth, and if some of them desert their fields others take their places, to the advantage of themselves and the general welfare.- Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

If the deserving poor have partici- pated in none of these benefactions they still have the consoling thought that a millionaire who is also a self confessed great man sympathizes with them-or at least by proxy. They can look to him, too, he says, but they may not look at him, lest the illusion that he is a great man should be destroyed.
 The Knowledge that the poor we have always with us'' does not matter now that we have MT. Pewee to sym pathiZe with them, but one would wish that he displayed a little more of that proverbial attribute of genius-mo- desty
 The verbal picture of himself which he Vouchsafes in ythe foregoing extract from his sealed letter to voters is too analogous to the case of Hans Brett mans huge monkey, which the Ger man naturalist had captured and placed in cage on shipboard.

Nogochi, who has been working under a grant of the Carnegie Institute, In which the Japanese physician declared that he had found a positive antidote for the rattlesnake venom. Details were lacking somewhat, but it was said that a serum had been obtained from the blood of goats-and the same culture could probably be had from the blood of horses-which will positively nullify the toxic effect of rattlesnake poison. Incidentally, pr. Nogochi was reported as believing that his discov- cry will shortly lead to the discovery of serums for other poisons.
 It may be taken for granted that s. Weir Mitchell, no less eminent as a specialist in nervous diseases than as a novelist, would not have made the statement unless it was true in every respect. The discovery will be of great value, notwithstanding the relatively small number of snakebtes in this country. Before this there have been claimants from time to time who have asserted that they had discovered an- tidotes for rattlesnake poison, but the medical profession has accepted none of them as authentic. Probably the most infallible remedy for the bite of the rattlesnake is the property of the Hopi Indians of this territory. At their annual snake dances, wherein they handle hundreds of writhing rattle snakes, the dancing Indians are ire quently bitten. But before the dance begins-and afterwards, also, presum- ably-they partake of a medicine" prepared by their priests which com pletely nullifies the snake poison. The secret of this antidote is the peculiar property of the priesthood, and is handed down frCm one generation to another. The tribesmen in general are not acquainted with the secret. Not a few white men have gone to great trouble in efforts to ascertain the na- ture of this antidote. They have been initiated into certain mysteries of the tribe-have taken this and that "de- gree"-but they have never succeeded in learning what the snake medi- cine" is.

MIR. PEWEE'S OPINION OF HIM
 SELF

Since Narcissus gazed with ever-in- creasing admiration at the reflection of his own image in the stream there has equal it until MT. Pewee appeared upon the scene. MT. Pewee's opinion of himself is contained in the following extract sent out from his own head quarters upon his own stationery:
 Hearst is the only millionaire in the United States who sympathizes with the poor
 Hearst is the only great man in the country to whom the common people, the helpless and oppressed can look for sympathy and assistance
 Of what avail are the universities, the libraries, the hospitals, the educa- tional funds, the polytechnic schools, the tenements and lodgings and all the vast and numerous benefactions that mark the land compared with a know ledge of the fact chat MT. Pewee sym pathizes with the poor, even though his sympathy rarely extends beyond the words which he pays others to write for him?
 True, MT. Pewee has not followed the same methods employed by Peabody, Girard, Mills, Cooper, Rockefeller, Car negie, pr. Pearsons and a hundred or more not so well known, but he has re- lieved a great deal of pecuniary distress among the great army of political heel CTS and repudiated and cast-out poli- ticians.

The Soldiers Happy Life.

The war department has issued an illustrated pamphlet describing the life of an enlisted man. The text was pre- pared by Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Reynolds, of the inspector generals department, and the book is intended to attract attention to the advantages of enlistment in the army. The auth or says that the pamphlet does not aim to entice young men into the army with fair words and promises, but to set forth the true state of life in the service.
 It is soothing new to issue such a publication, as hitherto the advertising of the war department for recruits has been confined to the use of posters in the towns where the recruiting parties are stationed. It is said that in both the war and navy departments it is becoming harder to obtain satisfactory recruits, mainly on account of the in- crease in the requirements. When the difficulty in getting young mon is great enough to interfere with the maln- tenance of the enlisted strength, the regulations governing the acceptance of recruits can be modified, but for the present there is no need of this in eith- CT service, although in the navy there has at times been a feeling that some thing must be done to encourage en- listments. The naval authorities do not believe in lessening the restrictions surrounding enlistments, but rather favor greater advantages to the men in the service, such as better oppor- tunities of promotion, more liberty, the re-establishment of the canteen and more leniency in regard to punish ments for breaches of discipline.
