Hickory Trees

It ts rather pity that our hickories should receive highest appreciation from us when they are welding LII their substance in roaring flames In our freplaces. For nowhere in the forest world can We find a genus of trees that Is, as whole, more attractive hnd valuable than the genus hicoria. Most of the hickories are beautiful iu summer when their glossy foliage is at It's best. In autumn this foliage turns the color of uncoincd gold and when bare of leaves there is revealed an oaklike twist to the branches which makes these trees most picturesque and beautiful objects in the winter landscape. We have never made as much commercially of the nuts as We might well have done Our Indian predecessors knew how to make a most attractive beverage from them, and the early settlers pressed from them an oil that was a luxury. The pecan is the only hickory species that has been developed and cultivated 10 any extent. and this has only recently begun it's career as cultivated tree Country Life In America.

A Royal Lock smith.

Louis XVI. had passion for the yocksmith's trade. and 1t is said that over his private library he had forge two anyils and a vast number of iron tools, together with all kinds of locks, common as we'll as those of secret and elaborate variety. It was here that the king would concecl himself from the queen and the court to file and forge with the infamous Gamin. who taught him the art of lockmaklng. 1t is said that Gamln while teaching the king his trade took upon himself the tone and authority of master, and, according to this same master, ths king was good, forbearlng, timid, mquisitlye and addicted to sleep. Louis had also great passion for timepieces, and the difficulty which he found in adjusting his clocks and watches Is said to have drawn from him the re 4ection that 1t was absurd of him to attempt to bring men to any thing like uniformity of belief in matters of faith when he couldn't make any two of his tmepieces agree with each other.

Don't Talk Much to Your Horse.

A horse who has always been made to obey quickly will respond to com- mands from any one. whereas the creature who has been petted and talk ed to accords, unless hungry, scant at tention 10 any one We talk to horses altogether too much, and 1t is silly and dangerous custom. "Whoa" should mean but one thing and. slip. slide or fall, should meet with instant obedi- ence Not another word should ever be used beyond possibly the order to stand over' in the stall (although even that is best unsaid) except the click of the tongue for increased speed. The animals attention Is kept if you are silent He does not know what you will do next, and as he distrusts and merely tolerates yosl, even as he fears you, his anxiety Is always to find out what you wish done or what move you will next make.-F. M. Ware in Outing Magazine.

Origin of Croquet.

The origin of croquet is certainly in- volved in mystery. Some authorities are of the opinion that it is founded on the old game of pale mallle," or pell- nell, from which we have the street Pail Mall. This is described by Cot grave in his dictionary as "a game wherein a round box bowie Is with a mallet struck through high arch of yron." and a picture of this in Strutt's Sports and Pastimes" shows that these had strong resemblance to the croquet implements of today.-London Academy.

RESTS WITH HIGHER
 AUTHORITY THAN BRYAN
NATIONAL CoMMITTEEMANSUL. LIVAN AGAIN REPLTES TO
 THE NEBRASKAM

Declines to Coneede to Him the Right
 to Question His Democracy or NIem-
 bership in the National Committee--
 Judgment as to That Rests With me
 Democrats of the District fin Which
 He Lives-Bryan Cannot Maintain
 His Claim in Fairness.
 Chicago, Aug. 15.-Democratic Ma. tional Committeeman Roger c. Sullivan of Illinois. to-day gave out a statement which he has mailed throughout Hi nois in reply to William J. Bryan's de. mand that Sullivan resign from the national committee and his consequent assertion that his opposition to MT Sullivan was prompted solely by his belief that Roger Sullivan and John P Hopkins had deliberately robbed the democrats of Illinois of their political right MT. Sullivan declines to con. cede to MT. Bryan the right to question Sulliyan's democracy or his membership in the national committee.
 Judgment as to my democracy" Sul- livan says, 'fests with the democrats ot the district in which live. My title to membership in the national committee has been conferred and confirmed by higher authority than MT. Bryan"
 The purpose of the demand made by Bryan, MT. Sullivan asserts, is tc create new factional strife in the nlace of factionalism that has nearly disap peared. Actually" he declares, s'thts demand emanates from two men, Mil lard Fillmore Dunlap and Owen P Thompson of Jacksonville By nnisuso of Mir. Bryan's name and popularity they hope to stir up enough discord ai Peoria to enable them to again bs leaders and as representatives Of MT Bryan.
 Tn the letters attributed to MT. Bry. an there is this plain statement; sMr Sullivan was selected as national com. mitteeman by delegates who were nol chosen by the convention If this state ment is MT Bryan's then he persists ;n a contention that was declared by tha last democratic national convention to be a misrepresentation. He cannot ir fairness maintain this position. It is true that the seats of certain of those delegates were contested. But thes, contests were not decided by fraud, and MT. Bryan knows it.
 The national convention Iby vots of SAT to 299 confirmed the rights ot the legal Illinois delegates to their seats. Those delegates elected me ma. tional committeeman by a vote of 4 to 5. The national convention again confirmed that action. To allege fraud against my right to a seat in the na. tional convention and it's leaders fol compounding felony.
 ''No man. not even Mir. Bryan, can afford to accept any nomination, much less a nomination for the presidency, al the hands of men whom he believes to be abettors or high crimes and misde. meanors' and perpetrators of fraud"
