Peril Of the Summer BoaTder

An episode which recently occurred
at MiddletOwn, New York, reveals a
new peril which may beset the un-
wary summer bOarder Several peo-
pie from a summer hotel in that
neighborhood went out on an excur-
sion and got lost in the woods They
wandered about for some time, en-
deavoring TO attract by their cries the
attention of some one who might
pilot them out of their leafy wilder
ness.
The inhabitants of the region heard
the cries, and decided that there were
wild animals on the mountain-prob-
ably panthers. They feared to lose
some Of their stock by these ma
RAIDERS, and got up a hunting party.
The party, armed to the teeth, went
into the woods and discovered the
supposed wild animals TO be merely a
party Of harmless and distressed city
folks.
There has been much complaint of
the Adirondack hunter who gets the
buck fever and shoots the peaceful
farmer. mistaking him for a deer, but
when the farmer goes out to hunt city
people under the impression that they
are panthers, the tables seem TO be
quite neatly turned.

6. Mr.. Rooseyelt's popularity with

Q. The party leaders are growing
because Mr. Roosevelt will make no
compromise with them.
Now, it is evident that if half these
things are so, the other half cannot
be, since no man can possess two dia-
metricalIy opposite sets of dominating
qualities. Would it not be we'll. mere

more complete unity, for the Demo-
cratic party to get together and unite
on its idea of the opposition candi-

Farm Work AlleViated.


An interview with Lillian Russell
on her farm near New York contains
information which ought to be inter
esting to the Agricultural Depart
ment, and Of assistance to those who
are endeavoring to alleviate the con-
ditiOns of farming. Miss Russell has
planted her vegetable garden accord
ing TO a novel method The corn.
peas, beets, potatoes, etc, are ar
ranged with a view to artistic effect.
the general plan followed being that
of certain scenic effects in ''The Black
Crook"
II actors and actresses make a prac-
tice Of settling in the country and in
Producing these novel methods into
their farming we may yet see the
rural resident contented and happy in
his lot. Instead of planting his vege-
tables with reference to the phases
of the moon. as some old Dutch far
mers do TO this day, he Will plant
them in such order as to resemble
the color arrangements in the chorus
OF his favorite opera. The horses
VIII no longer be named Prince or
Old Bess. but Mansfield, Irving, and
Anna Held; the oxen viii no longer
be Buck and Bright, but Weber and
Fields, or Robson and Crane. In
stead Of saying gee" and "haw'' the
farmer Will eXclaim, What no.
there!" and quote Shakespeare. and
with the spread Of the use Of the
graphophone the running Of the now
ing-maLline or thresher may be ac-
companied with airs from the latest
comic operas.
The esOteric farmer will see in his
garden hidden meanings. and find
there the elements Of the drama of
the world. The Irish potato and the
yam may typify the stage Hibernian
and the Southerner; the humble beet.
the Weary Willie OF the performance:
the sunhower. the press agent; while
the onion may stand for the business
interests which so thoroughly pervade
the modern drama, and which bring
tears to the eyes OF the public when
there ought not to be any reason for
weeping. Hoeing and wedding viii
be done with alacrity when the per-
Torrance goes to the tune Of 9. lively
jig, and the farmers little girl win
execute graceful pirouettes in driving
chickens out Of the garden, while the
whole family will strike Dcisarte at.
titudes as they hunt the elusive and
abundant potato-bug. No better way
OF making farm work attractive has
lately been devised.

The Mcclellan Boom.

VIII George B. Mcclellan. Tam
many Mayor of New York city, be the
choice of the St. Louis Democratic
convention for President Of the
United States?
Yesterday Senator German of
Maryland. ex-senator Smith of New
Jersey, Colonel Guffey Of PennsyI-
vania, and other prominent Demo-
Gratis had an important conference in
Washington. 1t was one of many by
a faction. which is known to be op-
posed to the nomination of Judge
Parker.
1t is suggestive. therefore, that
from an inside source in New York
should come today the intimation
that instead of being a long, drawn
out fight, the contest at St. Louis will
be short and sharp. and will BET
waged, not over the opposing names
of Alton B. Parker and William R.
Hearst, but on the single name OF
George B. Mcclellan.
The Democrats know that if they
are to stand any show at all next No
vember. they must nominate a candi-
date acceptable 10 New York. The
fight between David B. Hill and Tam
many Hall makes Judge Parker an
exceedingly doubtful proposition.
Hearst, the second of the two leaders
in pledged delegates, is palpably an
impossibility if the sane and safe"
Democracy is going 20 be kept in the
party.
Therefore, why not Mcclellan? He
is the son Of his father, a man with a
name. He is backed by Tammany,
yet he has shown himself not subser-
Went to Tammany. 1t is true that
not much is known about him, but
the little that is known is good. Dur
ing his few months as mayor he has
been Independent, wise, and cour-
ageous. If not much can be said in
his favor, certainly less can be said
against him. He appeals to the i'm
agination. He suggests possibilities.
Again, why not Mcclellan?
