Billion Dollar Grass and Alfalfa.

When We introduced Billion Dollar
Grass three years ago, little did we dream
it would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest. quick. hay producer
on earth but this has come to pass.
Agr. Editors wrote about it. Agr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it. Agr. In
stitrte Orators talked about it. while in
the farm home by the quiet fireside. in the
corner grocery, in the village postoffice. at
the creamery, at the depot. in fact wherr-
ever farmers gathered. Salzers Billion Dol
J: Grass, that wonderful grass, good for

A ChampiOn Liar.

Breaking engagements does not wor-
ry the Sultan of Sulu. He kept Maj.
Gen. Bates waiting for him at Sulu
for nearly two months, breaking en-
gagement after engagement. AT the
time first appointed instead of the
Sultan, his brother and Hadji Butu,
his prime minister, arrived at Sulu and
explained to Gen. Bates that his
highness" deeply regretted his inabil-'
ity to be present, as his religious fes-
tivities were just beginning and would
keep him at NAHUM, the Moro capital,
several days; but he would surely come
as soon as the festivities were over.
Another meeting was agreed upon.
Again the Sultan failed to appear and
his prime minister, with profuse apol-
ogies, assured the general that his
master was suffering so with boils on
his neck and arms that he could not
put on his coat, and without it he
could not even think of appearing be-
fore a great American general. Thus
two months were frittered away, and
then the American soldier decided that
as he was in Mohammedan land, he
would do as Mohammed did when the
mountain failed to call.
He is the best single-handed liar in
the Philippines, says sEverybody's
Magazine And as there are few Fill
ipinos who will not lie frequently, de-
liberately, and persistently, that is
saying a good deal.

A Ffreside Song.
From the New York Tim,

From the New York Times.
Give me a pipe, a light, book,
A log that blazes merrily,
A corner by the chimney nook,
A comfortable chair-Ah, me,
What of the storm that shrieks with
out
Such spirits of contentment thrive
In me I'm half-insplred to shout:
It's good, tits good to be alive!"
The storm grows fiercer, and I slip
From out my comfortable chair
And slyly take a. modest nip
From the well-filled decanter there.
Till. tingling through my joyous veins
The chariots of gladness drive
With eager steeds and loosened relns-
All, then it's good to be alive!
To owe no man; to own mine house;
To be content with mine own lot;
To know no being, man or mouse
May bid me do what l would not I;
To know the power of tyranny;
To know I'm monarch here-no gyve
OF damning debt to fetter me
All, me, tbs good to be alive!
To laugh at fame and scott at wealth,
To envy none; to feel the free
And joyous leap OF strength and
health
In every pulse that beats in me;
To bow my head in thanks to God.
To dream, to hope, to toll, to strive,
All, me, 1t were soulless ciod
That is not glad to be alive!
To hear a woman's rustling gown.
To bid her come and sit with me,
To crave no honor or renown
But in her heart and memory;
To put my pipe or paper by,
To taste the honey in the hive
Of kisses-ah, tits then that I
Know tits so good to be alive!

There is only one woman coal min

work in the mine of her nephew, The

worked she wore feminine clothes, but
finding them unsuitable the next day
she wore an old suit of her nephews
and, attired in mems clothes, she has
been digging coal ever since. She is

THE CRUM CASE.

1t is doubtful II DR.. Crum will ever
be confirmed as collector of the port of
Charleston. The Republican senators
seem to be Indifferent in regard to the
MATERIAL least that is the impression
gained from the Washington dispatches.
The President wanted the nomination
of DIR. Crum confirmed because there
are colored votes to be had in doubt
full Northern states. These colored vot-
ers have been sending petitions to the
President insisting that the nomination
be confirmed. OF course the President
wanted it confirmed or he wouldn't
have sent it to the Senate, but he was
anxious for the Senate to act upon the
nomination before it adjourned so that
he would be in a position to say to the
colored voters in the Northern states
that he did all he could to have coll
ored man made collector OF Charles
ten.
OF course he will appoint DR.. Crum
again. He wouldn't dare to drop him
even II he wanted to. The colored vot-
ers hold the balance of power in sew
eral states. or at least their votes in
the presidential election may settle the
contest one way or the other. and the
President Is going to do in the Crum
case just what these voters want done.
OF course they want DR.. Crum reap
pointed. 1t wouldn't be surprising if
DIR. Crum were inspiring them to send
petitions to the President asking for
his reappointment.
If the truth were known 1t would prob
ably appear that leading colored men
of the country are assisting DR.. Crum
to make his fight. 1t is race question
with them and they intend to be victo-
rious In the fight they are making, If
they can. 1t may be that the Repub-
lican senators are beginning to under
stand the spirit that is behind DR..
Crum, and are therefore taking less
interest in it than they did.
The outlook is now that DR.. Crum
will be reappointed and will hold his
office until the end of this Congress. II
Is probable he win not be confirmed,
and. hence. will not be reappointed
again. BY the end of the present Con-
gress the President win be convinced

will take care not to mention of
what the work consisted
There was no particular reason why
Congress should have adjourned so
soon. The session just closed was the
long one, the one in which the greater
part of its work ought to have been
done. The next session will close on
the 4th of March. Counting out the
holidays it will be less than three
months in length. 1t is practically
certain therefore that little or nothing
will be done beyond passing the ap-
propriation bills. There will be no
tariff legislation and no financial legis-
latiOn. Indeed it is question whether
there will be time in which TO frame
and pass a satisfactory river and har-
Dor bill
Probably the Republican organs will
point to the partial Investigation of
the Smoot and Swayne cases as evil
dence of work done during the session
just closed, but the question that will
present itself will be, why didn't Con-
gress remain in session and dispose
of these cases instead of putting them
off until the next session? OF course
it is well understood THAI all legisla-
ton except the appropriation bills was
postponed for political reasons, but do
senators and representatives. feel that
the people will be satisfied to have the
public business neglected for such
Ig
too timid to do anything on the eve
of elections because of the danger of
making mistake that might injure the
ma jority party? If so the outlook for
passing important measures isn't very
promising.
1t is certain that the people have
no reason for thinking that the Fifty
eighth Congress is Jealous in caring
for their interests.

allude to him as the great safe and
sane American"

says: 1.-THE Republicans seem very

Cochran for his Mckinley speeches in
1896. They do not appear to under
stand how anybody can stomach the
Republican party without being paid
to do it,
The Galveston CTex.) News Dem)
says: 1.-The President is said to be wor-
ried because the Senate will not con-
firm the nomination of his man Crum,
at Charleston. Why should the Pres-
dent be worried? He has trust his
man in in spite of the senate once,
and why not do it again?'
The Houston CTex.) Post (Dem.)
says: 1.-THE Republicans are already
making capital of Mr.. Bryan's atti-
tude toward the undOubted plans and
purposes of the party. They are all
ready attempting to prove by his words
that the party ought to be defeated.
As a friend of Mr.. Bryan, the Post
can view his course only with sorrow
and regret"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
Dem) says: ut seems to us inevi-
table that, if Mr.. Bryan succeeds in
checxmating and defeating Judge
Parker, Grover Cleveland will be the
nominee Of the Democratic party. We
are. therefore, forced to the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Bryan is really q whip
for the Cleveland nomination in dis

UncIes sam,s Cigars.

Among the men, cigars and cigarettes
cause much trouble, says writer or
the New York Customs House in the
Century Magazine. The regulations
permit person to bring in for his owr
consumption so cigars or 300 cigarettes
the ruling of the department being that
for customs purposes fifty cigars equa
that many cigarettes. Travellers are
always arriving who do not know the
regulations or who try to evade them.
Nine times out of ten the traveller al
once wants to make it a personal mat
ter with the inspector, and acts as il
he thought thrashing the official would
get his cigars in free. Then he cools
down little and offers to pay the
duty on all over fifty, and take them
all. There he strikes a new cause OF
rage. The smallest number of cigars
that can be imported is 1900. All I'M
der that and over fifty are seized. The
inspector endeavors to explain that he
aid not make the law, and is RESPONSE
bic only for its execution as he finds it;
but that seldom works, and the travel
er goes away breathing fire, and mad
with desire for vengeance.
A man came in from Havana recent
ly with box of cigars out of which
he had smoked fifteen There was
eighty-five left. The inspector who
examined the baggage told him he
could have only fifty. The man de-
clared that 1t was an outrage. and in
timated that he believed it to be per-
petrated for the inspectors personal
amusement.
Who gets the rest?" he demanded.
They are seized for the government"
was the reply
Thereupon it was evident to the man
that the outrage was for the benefit as
well as the amusement of the inspec-
tor.
Il don't suppose you smoke?" he
sneered.
Not on duty" suavely replied the
inspector.
We'll. you won't smoke these off
duty cried the man, and began to
break them up.
Hold on" said the inspector, "you
mustn't do that"
Why not?" demanded the man.
They are my cigars"
No, they are not" replied the in
spector, they belong to the govern
ment"
No words would fit that situation, and
the man went away. A little later he
charged into the office of the law di-
vision, prepared to tear down the Gus
tom House. He wanted to know. and
he wanted his information quickly.
Not my cigars, heb? Well, they
hadn't been brought in yet"
"Oh, yes, they had. They were con-
siderably inside the three-mile limit
when you had them on the pier
A little argument cooled him off, and
he finally said:
Well I'll take my fifty, and you
can have the rest
You haven't got fifty now" said
the official.
Haven't got ffty?" he screamed
I'D like to know why haven't. You've
said all along l could have fifty"
Yes, but you broke them up"
Il didn't do any such thing. 1 broke
up the extra thirty-five!"
ooh, no; those are Uncle Sans. You
were breaking up your own. But
don't think you destroyed them all.
There are about fifteen still left fol
YOU
And he had to do the best he could
to seem content with fifteen. All OF
which shows again how foolish it is to
kick against the pricks. Most men dc
it, however, and sometimes they beat
Uncle Sam out of his cigars. There
have been instances where men sc
situated pitched the whole supply over
board i'll their rage.
