Fair Time Back Home. :"

1.-The County Fair" in the October
McClure's, is the necessary background
on which Eugene Wood hangs another
of his reminiscent stories OF Old-tlme
country life. Like all of Mr.. Wood $
stories in McClure's, this is a vivid
page of great and passing period OF
American life, and those who, like
Eugene Wood, comefrom "back home''
will find this seductiv ramble through
old recollections. For the newer and
less fortunate generation it is story
full of gentle humor and underlaid with
sentiment of universal appeal.

The Money Lenders.

There are many examples OF Lord
Palmerston's ready wit in Sir NJ. e.
Grant Duff's book, "Notes From a
Diary" In a debate about the Jews
an orator rather bored the house by
enumerating many Of the things which
the English owed to Hebrew initiative.
Lord Palmerston in reply gave the dis
c,1ssion sprightlier turn. ~"I quite
agree with the honorable gentleman,
he remarked. Many. Of us owe
great deal to the Jews"

Genesis of the Lightning Rod.

The first lightning rod was not con
structed by Franklin nor set up IN
America, but by a monk at seutten'
berg, Bohemia, named Prohop Dill
wisch. His apparatus was made and
put together during the spring and
summer of the year 1854 and was frs!
set up in the garden Of the cure OF
Prenditz CMorayia) on June 10 OF the
year above named. The rod attained
as much distinction as that later made
by Franklin and was the cause of the
inventor being presented with muct
money and large estates. His enemie:
claimed that the rod was the cause o.
the great drought Of 1857, 1853 ane
1850, and upon the matter being report
ed to Vienna it was ordered to be takel
down.

part of serpents to get at the nest, but
the hungry snakes always fell off into

candles or kerosene lamps for light,

of the city have been extinguished.
The streets practically are deserted
except for the squads of infantry and
cavalry, which are everywhere.
The shops began to close in the af-
ternoon in the Morskala. Nevsky and
other central streets. Many of the in

meeting was held in the central hall
of the university and scores of similar
meetings of the separate trades and
professions were held in the other
rooms of the building. Halls were set

The same crudities of speech that
characterized the statesman on the
stump marked his oratory in Con-
gress. He had penchant for attach
ing singular verbs to plural nouns and
vice versa, and INDUCED in various
rhetorical gaucheries, but these faults
were overlooked to large extent.
The official stenographers made the
speeches read all right in the Record,
and a charitable House had something

the undeniable logic of the arguments

ton.
After serving two terms in Congress
during the Crisp regime, Mr.. Simpson
returned in 1897, and with Reed in
the chair he had even more fun than
before. Many a time Reed writhed
under his onslaughts as he led the
Democratic insurgents against the
rulings of the chair.
Mr.. Simpson was defeated for re-
election in 1898, and henceforth es-
chewed populism to the extent of get
ting into big projects in New Mexico,

fortune. Jerry Simpsons populism
at its best, for that matter, was not
of the kind that protests against all

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic' S fate to which he seemed
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in a
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
1.-The DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney. "told
me that if wanted to live any length
of time l would have to give up work al
together, and he told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how were you afflicted at this
time?" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
"Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but numbDess would
come over me, and would not be able TO
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain IN the spine.
Might after night l could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect of the 0piates 1 was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS look back OIL the
terrible suffering l endured during this
period often wonder how retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when l
was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
me entirely well. There can be no doubt
about the thoroughness of my cure. for I
have worked steadily ever since and that
is nearly four years."
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the Merrilnac Hat Company and resides
at 10l Aubin street. Amesbury, Mass.
The remedy which he used with such
satisfactory results, is sold by all drug

ministry of finance, or no portfolio at
all. The whole of the ministerial body
is also in ignorance as to whether
they will retain their places under the
new leader.

WILD SCENE AT CONVENTION.
Railroad Lobby is Denied AdmItianee
to the Hall.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Refusing to stand
for President Roosevelt's policy for
the regulation of railroad rates a large
number of delegates to the Interstate
Commerce law convention were bar
red from the convention of that
organization and thereupon held a Sc
parate meeting to give expression to
their ideas on the subject. The orig
inal convention was held in Steinway
hail, while the "anti-convention" met
in Music or Studebaker hall, several
blocks distant
On account of alleged attempts to
thwart the purpose of the convention,
the delegates at Steinway hall refus-
ed to admit delegates, although prop
erly accredited, unless they would
agree to support the presidents rate
plan. These delegates objected to the
procedure, demanding they be given
the right of free speech, while the op-
position charged they were sent by
tie railroads and other alleged unfair
interests to pack the convention. A
number of exciting scenes followed
before the meetings were called to
order in the conventions of both sides.
The number of delegates at each
convention was about equal, ranging
between four and five hundred.
Speeches, organization and resolution
included one which was presented in
the Sthdebaker hall convention ask
ing the president to settle the dispute
as to which was the regular conven-
ton, but upon which no action was
taken, occupied the time of the first
meetings of the convention. The
convention will continue in session
when resolutions will be adopted by

AFRlcA's spiral" RAILROAD.
Many Unusual Difficulties Had to be
Surmounted.

Surmounted.
In the construction of the Amabele-
Butterworth railway in Cape Colony
unusual difficulties had to be SUR
mounted, according to the Pail Mall
Gazette, and the result is, from an
engineering point of view, one of the
most remarkable railways in exist
ence. After passing through the Kei
Hills the line winds round another
hill, and then, at a lower level, goes
under its own track. This portion of
the railway is known as the spiral"
At another point the line travels along
the bank of the Mangulu river for
two miles, and then doubles back for
a mile and half, SO that, after COW
ering three and half miles, the train
is really only half mile to the good
This section is called the "zigzag,"
and, with the spiral, is unique in
South Africa. All along the Kei
heights the route is through cuttings
or on embankments. Some idea of
its extraordinary character may be
formed from the statement that in
eighteen miles the line falls, or rises.
to the extent of 500 feet.

Sacred Birds of Indians.

The duck is another sacred bird, be-
ing associated with water. From the
Pueblo point of view anything that is
related to the all-precious water in any
way is an object of worship. Their
religion is made up to a great extent
of aquatic divinities and might be
called a species of water worship.
