THE "CLANSMAN."
The Rev. M. B. Wharton, D. D., on
Dixon's Latest Novel.

I have just finished reading "The
Clansman," Thomas Dixon's last and
greatest work, and I feel as if I had
just left theatre where Julius Cae-
Sar was the tragedy and Ed
win Booth the actor. His brother,
J. Wilkes Booth, VS. the chief actor
in the great tragedy with which the
book almost opens. The plot is laid
first in Washington, just after the
surrender Of Lee at Appomattox, from
which it is carried to Piedmont, 4 vii
lage OF the hill country in South Car-
olina The time is from 1865 to 1870
and the design to show up in all its
sickening horrors. the old hated re-
construction days in the south, which
brought on The organization Of the
'Ku-Klux Klan," which put an end to
that saturna1ia OF crime, blood-shed
and ruin.
The south owes a great debt Of
gratitude to Thomas Dixon. I should
be glad to see "Leopard's Spots' and
The Clansman| circulated through
oft England. Scotland and Ireland
and transIa: ed into French and Ger
nl2I.
Tie time will come when to BE a

How Cattle Protect Themselves
Against Cold.
Louisville Herald.

Louisville Herald.
"Of course, it don't get this cold in
Texas" said George Lavcrno. a
ranchman of Amarillo, Tex. "But
the cattle suffer more from severe
storms there than they do in this
country. They have absolutely no
shelter, and Must spend the night on
the plains When the cold winds and
the sleet come. the great herds bunch
together. The heat Of the steers
bodies is their only warmth. The
steers on the outside push their heads
in between the other cattle. and there
they spend the uight, shivering.
Should sleet come and cover their
backs. it serves as a blanke: to keep
them warm. But when the bunch IS
broken they ieel the cold. and sue
cu,nb to it.
"!t is Interesting" continued Mr..
i,avrrro. TO sec the cattle hunt a
sheltered part OF range when our
nor wvs.crs' come. They can't lind
trees or rocks to protect them from
the wind, but they collect in the low
:2aGs. 7 have seen cattle stand for
days huddicd together. with nothing
to cat and no wafer to drink, rather
than break from the ranks. We sell
dom get zero weather on our plains.
but there is a peculiar sting and bite
to the wind that sweeps across them.
The cattle cant stand much OF this
cold."
