THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER


"The bird ran, too, for I could
hear it crashing through the bushes,
and I expected every minute to be
taken in it's big mouth. By and by
I couldn't run any more, and fell
down, when five big birds similar to
the one I had already seen came
leaping along straight at me.
"I lifted my gun, but before /
could shoot, the first bird had run
over me and knocked me down.

stop running till I found you, and
here I am"

"Well," said the man, eff I were
going to make up a yarn I'd try to
have it reasonable, Or end in some
thing exciting"
"But I didn't make it up!" ex-
claimed Pierre, Indignantly.

the men, "is that he didn't bring the
eggs with him. It would have made
such a rare omelet."
At this the sailors laughed.

it was a great big egg-almost as
big as a tar-bucket. / made up my
mind to carry it back to the ship to
take home, thought it was heavy;
but while I stood with it in my arms,
brushing off the dirt that was on
the under side, I heard a rustling in
the bushes, and then I thought there
must be a big bird to lay hat enor-

~ got behind a tree near by and
stopped down SO that / could see
through the bushes what kind Of a
bird was coming.
II never saw such a thing in my
life beforel Maybe you won't believe
me, but that bird made so much
noise as it came through the bushes
that I thought it was a herd of cat
tie. And when it came to where I
could see it, each of it's legs looked
as big around as my leg, and it was
as tall as a small tree. And such a
beak as it hadl
"It went directly to the spot where
the egg had been, and then I was
frightened, for I knew if it caught
me with the egg I'd be eaten up in
a minute. But / didn't dare to
move. When the monstrous creature
missed the egg, it set up an awful
squawk. Then I dropped the egg
and ran in the direction that seemed
clearest of trees.

though nobody has seen a living bird
such as Pierre described, eggs and
skeletons of birds have been found,
and, judging from them, it is no
wonder that the little French boy
was frightened.
The egg is larger than a football
and would, it is calculated, hold as
much as 100 hens eggs. As for the
bird, it was of the same family as
the ostrich, but was more than twice
as tall and proportionately heavier,
so that, towering as it did a mans
height above the tallest elephant, it
must have been a startling bird to
see for the first time Unexpectedly.
The aepyornis, as the bird is
called, does not exist now, but Mr..
Wallace, the great naturalist, thinks
that all the indications are that it
may have lived within the last two
centuries.-John r. Coryell in May

A BIRD OF THE OLDEN TIME.
The Experience of Young Pierre Char
tonne on Madagascar.

Pierre Chartonne was not by any
means the least excited person on
the French feet which cast anchor
in Rafala Bay, Madagascar, on a
certain day some three hundred
years ago. Pierre was to go ashore
for the first time in more than a
year. The captain had promised
hat in the morning he would accom-
pany the men who were going to
look for fresh water.
The next morning, with his be-
loved blunderbuss borne upon his
shoulder, Pierre stepped proudly on
the beach, ready and anxious to meet
the savage men and curious wild
beasts he felt sure he was going to
see.
Shortly before dinner-time it was
proposed that some of the sailors
should try to shoot a few of the
birds of which the forest seemed
full; for fresh meat to a sailor is
of the greatest of luxuries, and
it seemed a pity to do without it
when it was directly at hand. Here
was an opportunity which Pierre did
not let pass. He entreated his com
handing officer so earnestly to let
him be one of the shooting party
that consent was given.
Pierre, blunderbuss in hand, and
three sailors started for the forest.
An hour later, the three men hur-
ried down to the beach laden with
game, but without. Pierre. Where
he was they did not know; they had
missed him more than half an hour
before, and supposed he had return
ed to the beach.
"Here he is now" suddenly ex-
claimed one of the
And there, indeed, he was, hatless
and in haste. As quickly as his short
legs could carry him, he was tearing
through the underbrush; and as he
drew nearer the men on the beach
could see that he was frightened.
When he reached the alarmed sail
ors, he sank, painting and exhausted,
on the sand. To all their hurried
questions he could only gasp out,
"After me" and point to the forest.
Whereupon they all gathered eager
ly about him to hear his story.
CATER we had gone about two
miles into the forest" he began, 81
left the others, because / thought we
would see more game in two parties
than in me-.
GA little while after I had left
them I saw what looked like a large
round white stone in the thick
brush. 1 thought I might as well
ind out what it was, and made my
way to it, and, I give you my word,

A FALSE REASON.

James 3. Lloyd, of Tarboro. writes
to release Mr. Tom Watson from his
engagement to speak in Tarboro be-
cause OF the following letter from the
Populst National Chairman:
$50 many prominent Bryan and
Hearst Democrats. as we'll as POpu-
lists, visited Watson yesterday and in
sisted on a return date that he finally
! informed National Chairman Ferris
and myself that he would be glad to
speak here again on the 9th of Oc-
, tober.'
The reason assigned to Mr.. LLOYD is
a false one. No Bryan and Hearst
| Democrats have insisted on Wat
sons speaking again in New York.
| If so, let us have their names. The
! folks who have insisted upon "a re-
| turn date" are the enemies of Bryan

WHY GAMBLERS IN FUTURES
ESCAPE CONVICTION.

In the Legislature Of 1893 one OF
the purest and best men of that body
while speaking in opposition to dis
pensary legislation said that when ne
was a boy the place where liquor was
sold was called a grog shop. that it
then became a bar-room, next a saloon
and finally a dispensary.
There is the same confusion of
terms in reference to a certain species
of gambling. We hear of exchanges.
stock brokers. dealers in stocks.
bucket shops and some go so far as
h admit that they are dealers in flu
lures, but none will say they are
gamblers.
You will hear men of intelligence.
character and influence seek to Justify
the practice.
1t would seem unnecessary to argue
this phase of the question because the
statute law of our State denounces as
a crime the dealing in futures and
the man who enters into such a con-
tract as we'll as the dealer is guilty.
If so one who deals in futures is
guilty of a crime and is therefore a
criminal. and conduct cannot be justi-
fled which makes criminals.
The fact that respectable citizens
are guilty of this crime makes the
evil the greater, because their posi-
ton encourages others to follow the
same course and this species of
gambling is made respectable. If a
hi faf ~
his father and mother freQuenting the
bucket shop. he sees no reason why
he should not do so, and he is launch
ed upon the field of speculation and
gambling. If an evil and a crime the
inquiry is made why do not the courts
suppress it, and why do dealers carry
on their business in the very presence
of the court?
The answer is to be found in the
defects in the present law. which
makes it almost impossible to con-
Wet.
The form of contract usually made
provides for actual delivery. and it is
difficult to prove that the contract is
a mere cover for speculation upon
the market prices.
This difficulty is increased by max
ing the party. who enters into the
contract indictable, as he is usually
the only witness by whom the guilt
of the dealer can be proven, and being
indictable himself you cannot make
him testify, as by doing so he would
necessarily eliminate himself.
1t is believed that two simple
amendments to the present law will
cure these troubles and will at least
put it in the power of the courts to
suppress open violations of the law.
1. Provide that where contracts are
made for future delivery and no ac-
tual delivery is made. but there is a
settlement based on difference in mar
ket values. or that a margin is put
up instead of the whole contract price,
that this shall be prima facie evidence
of guilt
This will cast the burden of proof
on the defendant in all cases where
he ought to be prosecuted and will do
him no harm if innocent as he can
easily show the contract to be legal
if it is so.
2. Strike out the provision making
the person who enters into the con-
tract indictable or provide in the
statute that he shall be pardoned
when he testifies.
This will furnish the State wit
ness. as he can then be made to
testify.
