Tor the greater portion of the time
after the close Of the civil war until
his death his fame rested under
cloud among some Of his own people,
because after swords were transformed
Into agricultural implements he allied
himself with the opposition party.
At the close Of the war Longstreet
became q republican and he remained
. republican until the end. Some of
his neighbors, forgetful Of the splendid
services he had rendered the confed-
eracy in the field. ostracized him. They
refused to recognize him at the re-
unions Of confederate veterans and for
years he lived as . stranger In q
strange land. Now that he is dead per-
haps his reward may come. but the
tragedy OF his life cannot be obliter-
ated.
Oflate years he has been q resident Of
Washington occupying the sinecure po-
sition Of railroad commissioner. which
was occupied before him by another

young foxes. or the young foxes playing
among the rabbits suddenly discover
that the latter are edible. 1t II the
same with the weasel and the vole.
When out fishing have watched many
battle royal between them. though
knowing all the time that for the
greater part Of the year they lived in
amity. The weasel usually gets the
better of the vole in such encounters.
but I remember once seeing q battle
with q far different result. An old
grey rat encountered = weasel on the
trunk OF decaying willow lying half
over the water. They fought almost a.
long as Falsta1 said he did ct the battle
Of Shrewsbury. but in the end the rat
got his fangs well set into the back Of
the weasei's neck and finished him.
Such result il very rare. for the weasel
and the stoat are capable of holding
their own ut any time against creatures
much beyond them in weight.

tired he very often curls himself up
among the rushes and goes softly to

difference in habit between himself and
the badger, ~ the latter SCARCELY ever
sleeps out. It II difncult to reason from

lures, but In this instance . very plaus-
ible explanation could be offered. The
nocturnal badger ID In his habits clean

aged to attract the attention OF the
house during his first term in congress-.
When he landed in Washington to be-
gin his congressional career the first
thing that impressed him was the utter
insignifcance Of the new member un-
der the hard and fast system of prefer
ment which prevails. He lay around
for a few weeks, wondering why he
ever consented to come 10 Washington
at all. and calling himself all sorts OF
names. He talked around among some
of the other new members and found
that most of them felt abost as he did.
Then he had an inspiration.
He organized the new members into
q club, which he called the Tantalus
club, because 1t Is the fate Of the new
member to be constantly hoping to get
somewhere and never reaching the
goal. He got them all together for .
dinner. He was made president by ac-
clamation, and the first dinner was
such q success that they had another
and another. The beauty about the
dinners was that the members who
would never get q chance to talk In
the house under the rules could be rec
ognized and show what there was In
them. The Tantalus club dinners be-
came q feature of Washington. Ev-
erybody wanted to 60 to them and mo-
body could get in. Tho old members
for once had to take subordinate POI

Official Information on Government
Prices for Silk Cocoons,

The following Information in regard
to the purchase Of silk cocoons ana
prices paid for same by the United
states government has been received
from the division OF entomology Unit
ed States department Of agriculture,
Washington, j, c.;
This division has been charged with
an investigation of the possibilities Of
profitable silk culture IN the United
States. Since It has already been
shown that cocoons Of excellent quaii-
ty can be raised over practically the
whole country wherever the mulberry
viii grow, our first step ~ evidently
to interest as many persons as possible
In the cultivation Of the silk worm in
order that there may be q guaranteed
supply Of cocoons when the time comes
for the establishment of silk Keeling
on commercial basis Therefore, to
all persons wishing TO engage In silk
culture and who DO not possess the
necessary food plants, the department
win send mulberry cuttings In small
numbers, and TO those persons who al
ready have the proper mulberry trees
we will send, In season, enough OF the
silkworm eggs for a good start. It liz
hoped that before long private enter
prise win take up the matter of erect
ing silk-roeling plants and thus create
a permanent market for the COco0ns
I'm the meantime so long as Congress
appropriates for the purpose we win
buy the cocoons at approximately the
current European market price, which
ia from % cents 10 81 n pound for dried
cucoons. We are operating a reel at
this office In order TO convert the Coz
coon8 into marketable raw silk"

For This Reason Supreme Court
ReyerSes Judgment in Case OF
State VS. Davis and Pryor
WERE CONVICTED OF ROBBERY.
Men stole the Sum os $3.50 From John
Daniels ana We're Sentenced to 9
Years in State Prison

Tho supreme court today rendered an
opinion reversing the judgment OF the
lower court m the case OF the state Of
Utah VS. Ezra Davis and John Pryor
The following paragraph from the opln-
ion Is The basis OF the decision Of the
court. "rhe phrase by means OF force
or fear h a distinguishing feature be-
tween robbery and grand larceny when
the taking IL from the person and Is u
material element IN the crime OF rob-
bcry." The failure Of the information
to charge that the taking was by force
or fear Is held TO be a fatal defect
Tho two men were charged with rob
bling John Daniels of $3.50 on july ~
1908, ana were convicted ana sentenced
to 10 years IA the state prison, An 9p.
peal was taken ana II wns commended
by the attorneys for appellants that the
information did not charge the crime
of robbery as set out IN the statutes FOR
the reason that Il aid not charge that
the money was taken from Daniels by
force or fear The case was argued on
Tuesday and IN the opinion today the
court holds that tho contention Of APP
pellants is good and reversed the judg-
ment OF the lower court The opinion
was written BY Justice Bartch ANA
concurrod I'm by chief Justice Baskln
and Justice MCCarty,
