First Aid to the Injured.

Last fall an English woman OF letters
was staying, as the guest Of an elderly
lady, at a country house in western Mas
sachusetts. While they were driving one
afternoon they had the misfortune to meet
an automobile at sharp turn OF the
road. The horses, being spirited. SHED,
dashing the carriage against a tree and
throwing its occupants out.
The English woman picked herself up
uninjured, but was horrifed to see her
aged hostess lying on the ground uncon-
scious. Running to nearby farm house,
she knocked for some time before she
finally succeeded in bringing sunbon.
neted woman to the door.
"a lady has been hurt-thrown from a
carriage. She is lying down there in the
road. Can you give me some whiskey
for herr" cried the visitor in breathless
anxiety.
"Well, no. We don't never keep no
whiskey," said the native born after some
d deliberation. would the lady like a
piece O pie?"

A Wonder Vine In Bamberg.

Editor The Bamberg Herald.-Dear
Sir:-Noticing the story in your last issue
about the tall corn, its rapid growth, etc.,
wish to give you true story of water
melon vine. This vine is in Bamberg,
and can be seen by any one doubling the
story. This vine covers circle of 125
feet. it measures from 45 to so feet from
tip to tip. This vine has had 75:or more
melons on it. Have counted 55 on it at
one time. These did not all mature, many
of them rotted during the hot, dry season
we had. This vine has produced 80 fine
melons, weighing from 15 to IS pounds
each, measuring from IA inches to 2 feet
in length, besides this several others OF
smaller size having matured. This vine
did not grow as rapid az the corn stalk.
It did not drag the melons on the ground
as it grew, and it did not grow SO fast
that I could not cut it off. I did cut three
feet or more off this vine to plant other
seed in the graden, but it continued to
grow and covered the seed sowed. This
vine does not look bold and rank, but has
a very delicate appearance and is still
growing and blooming. 1t is certainly a
wonder vine. also have peanut vine
18 feet in circumference. Any one doubt
ing this story can come and see for them
selves and measure the vine.

Cattle King Miller.

In his "Gold Hunters Of California"
Thomas E. Parish tells some interesting
anecdotes of the men of the early days.
Speaking Of Henry Miller, western
cattle king, Mr.. Parish says that none
knew better than he the value OF relia-
BILE. efficient man. "Once, on one of his
Kern county ranches, he had a foreman
with whom he quarreled. The foreman
said: If it were not that you are a smaller
man than I, I would beat you half to
death At this Miller threw off his coat
and went for the man. The foreman
succeeded in giving him a good trounc-
ing. then demanded a settlement, which
was made. That all over with, Miller
apologized and hired the man over again,
with an advance in wages. He knew he
had q good man."
Another story Of Miller: Il remember
Miller once at Firebaugh's ferry, on the
San Joaquin river, when he was buying
so much land. 1t was at breakfast and a
man called Hog johnson began to criti-
else Miller's purchases, when Miller turn
ed to him and said: Hog, you knows dere
iss more peoples born into de world etfery
vear dan dies out of it. don't you? Yes,
sdmitted Hog. Vel, dey all hat to lif Oh
de land, and dere iss no more land borned
ehery year."

More Than His Share.

The same story may be told in different
ways. One way is reported in an ex-
change:
Martha, does thee love me?" asked
Quaker youth of one at whose shriue his
hearts fondest feelings had been offered
up.
why, Seth," answered she, Eve are
commanded to love one another, are we
not?"
AYE, Martha; but does thee regard me
with that feeling the world calls love?''
II hardly know what to tell thee, Seth;
I have greatly feared that my heart was
an erring one. have tried to bestow my
love on al; but I may have sometimes
though, perhaps, that thee was getting
rather more than thy share"

A MAD HORSE.
Bittsa by a Doc a Short While AGO a Dar'
linston Horse Develops Rabies.

DARLINGTON, Aug. 21.-A mad horse
created no little excitement on the streets
here yesterday evening shortly after dark.
He had been bitten by mad dog which
had been in this vicinity short while
ago, and had been watched. He began
recently to develop symptoms OF rabies.
Yesterday evening he broke out OF the
stable and ran amuck. The police were
notified and started pursuit with
shot guns but the horse saved them the
trouble of killing him as he ran into a
pole on Florence street opposite the Epis'
copal church and killed himself.

THE CENSUS BUSINESS.

If you should ask the census man
who is out getting statistics just now
what is the chief of his troubles, he
would answer, feelingly:
Women"
GIVE got wife, and thought I
knew women" said one of them to
sympathetic listener the other day,
but don't. My wife is a sensible
woman, but most women have more
whims and fancies than you could
shake stick at.
"My chief difficulty is in getting
them to tell their age. You would
think when woman is married she
would get over being sensitive about
her age, but I tell you she's more
touchy on the subject than the old
maids.
II can always tell when they're
lying about it, too. When you see
that faraway look creep into their
eyes you may depend upon it they are
doing little computing, trying to
decide just how many years they will
own to.
eff woman says IS it is pretty
safe to make it 40. Add five years
every time and you will come nearer
to the correct age.
"Men make trouble for me on the
finance question. They all want to
appear richer than they are. Clerks
want to be put down as business men,
business men as bank presidents and
bankers as men of the rich leisure
class. You certainly come to learn
human nature in the census business. f"

Government BY Injunction Needed
For the Standard Oil.

On February 18th the House passed a
resolution for the investigation of the
Standard Oil Company. OF course this
is good thing to. do and it ought to have
been done years ago.
But why has not the department of
justice, the legal department, acted in
this matter instead of leaving it to Com
gress? A big expense will be incurred in
this investigation and it will occupy a
year or two. In the meantime no action
in court will be taken until this investi-
cation is completed and report made to
some future Congress. Thus the big
monopoly will go on undisturbed in its
plunderings.
What is needed is little government
by injunction" at once. Yes, and few
criminal actions besides against the men
who are daily violationg the Sherman
antitrust law.
This is a case where the law is not ad-
niinistered against the rich as it is against
the poor. When laborers 60 on strike
and there is threat OF violence or 1rtiin-
idation of other workmen to get them to
join the strike, we never hear of con-
gressional investigation y The very
next day, and just as soon as papers can
be drawn and the signature of some fed
eral judge obtained. government by
injunction" is set in motion and the poor
strikers who are struggling in an uneven
fight against oppression are brought to
time in short order and put into jail if
need be in order to prevent them from
violating the law.
Why not treat the Standard Oil mag.
mates to dose of this sort and not wait
for an investigation" that is sure to drag
along for year or two?-Staudard,
Kearney, Neb.

Control The Railroads.

The Express Companies are robbing
the people of many millions of dollars
every year in excessive charges for carry.
ing small parcels, writes Tom Watson in
his magazine for March. In every civ
ilized land, save ours, the Government
cost, as part of the postal service.
In America, venal Congress keeps the
yoke of. the Express Companies fastened
upon the people, and will not allow the
government to establish Parcels Post
The railroads are charging the govern
ment sos. 900 600 per year for carrying
our mails This represents yearly in
come of more than two per cent upon
three billion dollars.
Squeeze ont the water, and the railroads
of the United States could be bought for
three billion dollars.
Therefore, on the carriage of mails
alone, the administration is paying the
railroads more than two per cent upon
their entire value
The Government could float two pc
cent bond at par, aud if it issued enough
bonds to pay for all the roads the annua
interest charge would be no greater thar
We now pay for carrying the mails.
Can you do nothing about this. Mr.
President? Is your strong arm powerles
to defend the people against this high
handed robbery?
The Administration is now paying th,

The Kansas Legislature, which recently
created sensation by deciding to wage
war against the Standard Oil Company
and passed measure authorizing the
erection of a State refinery for the pur
pose Of competing with this greatest OF
robber trusts, in the production of oil,
has again caused stir by passing strong
resolutions requesting President Roose-
welt to appoint competent person to in
vestigate the Beef Trust. The resolution
recites that the report of Garfield is little
less than fake, and that every Ameri-
can citizen knows it to be fake
Commissioner Garfield is soon to begin
an investigation of the Standard Oil Conl-
pany in Kansas, and the Legislature
wants it thorough, and not on the order
of what it styles the fake investigation OF
the Beef Trust. The report of the Com
missioner will be made directly to the
President, and depending on the facts de-
veloped, it may be turned over to the
Department of Justice for such action as
the Attorney General may deem proper.

The Fifty-eighth Congress came to an
end on Saturday without accomplishing
a great deal in the way of legislation,
and most of those issues which were
trumped up for campaign purposes re.
main about as they were at that time.
A great deal has been heard about the
tariff, the regulation of trusts and of rail
way rates, the revival of the merchant
marine, the admission of new States, the
administration of colonial dependencies,
etc., yet no action in the form of laws
has resulted.
But when it comes to spending money.
it will be seen there has been something
doing" as the appropriations made at
this final session, for the various public
expenditures of the coming year, aggre-
gate $697, 600, 900.
The Senate, which is continuing
body, has already organized for the Fifty
ninth Congress. The House of Repre-
ssntatives, though elected last November,
will not meet until December, unless
called in special session by the President.
We elect Congress year in advance,
so that issues frequently change before
they can be acted upon.
