From CateeChee.

The farmers have been very busy
for the past week working late

talking politics or anything else OF
the kind, news is scarce.
Mr.. Watts, prominent cotton mill
man of New York, was at this place
last Friday on official business.
On last Wednesday evening about
5 o'clock, Mr.. John Grant, who lives
on Clayton Dobsons land, near Lays
bridge, lost his house and everything
III it by fire. Their baby, eight
1oNuths old, was also consumed in
H. Rmos. Mr. Grant was, it is
sad, working in the blacksmith shop
about rs yards from the house.
His wife had left her baby asleep on
the bed and had gone out to where
her husband was, and had not been
ouU there but few minutes until
they discovered the house was on fire,
and by the time they reached the
house everything was completely
wrapped in flames and the baby was
dead. After The end Of the house

A Stag Hunt.

''I shall never forget an experience
had last winter" said a visitor from
northern Michigan. SIT was during the
deer season, when went out alone, one
day, to see what I could get. Well,
hunted all day long without even Gee
ing deer. Finally, sat down on
log to rest, and to mediate on my bad
luck, when all Of a sudden looked up
and saw big buck making a dead line
for me!
He threw up his flag as soon as he
scented me, and had buck fever for
an instant. There we were-both mo-
tionless, each staring at the other, and
both frightened stiff. The next instant
though, collected myself, and brought
him down with a shot. 1t seemed q
queer thing to me, that after I'd hunted
all day long without success, that that
big deer should come walking right
into the nozzle of my gun! But l sup
pose that's the way with the world

SHE SOWED LIVER PILLS.
But It Is Not at All Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root.

There is woman in Phoenix, Ariz.,
who has the correct idea all right, but,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states the Republican
Of that town.
Recently her husband bought a small
ranch, and with him she has been much
interested in planning improvements, espe-
rially in the growing line, with which to
adorn the place.
The other DAY beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady of the house was
busily engaged in asserting her seeds and
carrying the little packets out of doors,
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. As each variety
was planted, the name was placed on a
small marker, as is the custom with gar
deneTs.
in particularly choice location the con-
tents of q packet were laboriously dropped,
Dne by one, until the row was filled and
the earth nicely smoothed over it. When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she
aad carefully planted her mothers pack

"Now you have seen what Is before

out the villages which were here.
There are little cornfields, but I war
rant you they have not seen a toma-
hawk hoe for month or more The
Iroquois have gone, yet the fact that
they have been here proves they may
come again. What say you, Tete Girls;

Tete Girls remained silent for some
moments. "'Tis as monsieur says"

others. There is always the one trail
over which one does not return"

country and take its conditions as we
find them. If we falter, we lose; of
that We may rest assured. Let us not
turn lack because few savages have
been here and have slaughtered a few
other savages. For me, there seems
but one opinion possible. The light
ming has struck, yet it may not strike
again at the same tree. The Iroquois
have been here, but they have depart
ed. and they have left nothing to in
vite their return. Now, it is necessary
that we make a pause and, build some
place for our abode. Here is post al
ready half builded to our hands,"
But if the savages return?" said Du
Mesne.
''Then we will fight" said John Law.
"And right you are" replied Du
Mesne. Your reasoning is correct. 1

WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND.
Stirring Incident of Concert In
Which Singer and Statesman
Played Prominent Parts.

1t seems an odd combination of
talents-Webster and Jenny Lind sing
ing together at public concert The
story is good one. and is to be found
in a recent book, washington, the
Capital City"
1t CHANGED that on the day of Jenny
Lind's appearance several members Of
the cabinet and senate were guests at
dinner of the Russian minister, and
ster and the other members of the
party entered the hall. When the ap-
plause with which they were received
had subsidized, the second part of the
concert was opened by the gifted
Swede with Hail, Columbia"
Deeply moved by the patriotic air,
Webster, at the close of the first
verse, rose and added his rich, So
nerous voice to the chorus. His wife,
who sat behind him. pulled at his coat
tail to make him stop singing, but at
the close of each verse the volunteer
basso joined in, and none could tell
whether Lind. Webster or the audi
ence were most delighted.
AS the last notes of the song died
away, Webster, hat in hand, made
profound bow to the singer. Jenny
Lind, blushing at the honor, courtesied,
while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster, not to be outdone in
politeness, bowed again; again Lind
courtesied, the house applauded, and
this was repeated nine times.

with an inner row OF palisades, sup
porting an embankment of earth and
stone. The overlap OF the gate was ex-
tended into a re-entrant angle, and
rude battlements were erected at the
four corners of the Enclosure. The
little stream of unfailing water was
led through corner of the fortress.
In the center of the Enclosure they
built the houses; a cabin for Law, one
for the men, and a larger one to serve
as store room and as trading place,
should there be opportunity for trade.
1t was in these rude quarters that
Law and his companion established
that which was the nearest approach
to home that either for the time
might claim; and it was thus that
both undertook once more that old and
bootless human experiment of seeking
to escape from ones own self. Silent
now, and dutifully obedient enough
was this erstwhile English beauty,
Mary Connynge; yet often and often
Law caught the question of her gaze.
And often enough, too, he found his
own questioning running back up the
water trails, and down the lakes and
across the wide ocean, in a demand
which, fiercer and fiercer as it grew,
he yet remained too bitter and too
proud to put to the proof by any means
now within his power. Strange
enough. savage enough, hopeless
enough, was this wild home of his in
the wilderness of the Messasebe
The smoke of the new settlement
rose steadily day by day, but it gave
signal for no watching enemy. ALI
about stretched the pale green ocean
Of the grasses, dotted by many wild
flowers, nodding and bowling like bits
of fragile fotsam on the surface of a
continually rolling sea- The little
groves Of timber, scattered here and
there, sheltered from the summer sun
the wild cattle of the plains. The
shorter grasses hid the coveys of the
prairie hens, and on the marsh-grown
bayou banks the wild duck led her
brood. A great land, rich, fruitful
one, was this that lay about these ad-
venturers.

THROUGH HIS .ALFALFAs.r
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one of the speakers at
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
On the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman j. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio of agri-
culture.
Secretary Wilson made a happy speech,
and because of his popularity with the
western ruralist he was the shining, CEN
trail figure of the gathering. When he
mad finished talking lusty lungs and sun;
burned hands gave him noisy appreciation,
The applause had not ceased when Ne
braska farmer, with whiskers like Senator
PETERS, arose in the back of the hall and
said:> :
Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to
hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to
do him honor, but let us not forget the,
other great men we have with us. We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriculture"-
1t was as far as the, speaker ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
shrieks of laughter.

Day after day following this the
Journey was resumed, and day after
day the travellers with eager eyes wit
messed prospect Of continual change.
The bluffs, holder and more gigantic,
lowered more precipitous than the
banks of the gentler streams which
they had left behind. Forests ranged
down to the shores, and wide, green
decked islands crept into view, and lit
tie timbered valleys of lesser streams
came marching down to the imposing
flood of Messasebe. Again the serrated
bluffs broke back and showed vast Wis
tas of green savannas, covered with
tall, waving grasses, broken by little
rolling hills, over which crossed herds
of elk, and buffalo, and DEER

and now, monsieur, / know why the
Indians say it's guarded by spirits.
Sure, I can myself feel something in
the air which makes my shoulder

"'Tis a mighty land, and sull of
wonders" assented Law, who, "a diff
ferent fashion, had felt the same mys-
ferrous spell of this great stream. For
himself, he was nearer to reverence
than ever yet he had been in all his
wild young life.
Now so it happened that at length,
after long though rapid journey
down the great river, they came to
that stream which they took to be the
river of the Illini. This they ascend

at the bank Of wide and placid bayou,
shaded by willows and birch trees,
and by great elms that bore aloft a
canopy of clinging vines, they made a

great canot du Nord came to rest at
the foot of timbered hill, back of
which stretched high, rolling prairies,
dotted with little groves and broken
with wide swales and winding sloughs.
