effort, missed the ball.
For fully a minute he gaZed at the

Sixth and Chestnut streets waiting to

A Remedy for Roup.

Roup is the most common disease
The disease germs are most likely to
attack fowls that are housed in
quarters where there is filth, foul air
and cold drafts. 1t manifests itself
by hoarse breathing, swelling about
the eyes and discharge at the nos
trils. which dries and clogs the air
passages so that the fowl must open
the beak in order to breathe.
Slaughter and bury deeply is the
best treatment, to be followed by
thoroughly disinfecting the quarters
and the feeding and drinking troughs
so as to destroy any germs that may
remain.
If the fowls are worth the trouble,
the following treatment, when adopt
ed in the early stages, will usually
prove effectual: Dissolve two ounces
of permanganate Of potash in six and
pints Of water. Completely
the fowls head in this so
luton and hold it there as long as
the bird can endure it without chok-
ing to death. This will cause it to
sneeze, thus forcing the solution |
the nostrils, when it comes
in contact with the diseased parts.
Repeat two or three times. morning
and evening. Next dilute some of
same solution with four times
rs much water and give it to the
fowls to drink, allowing no other
water. Do not mistake cold for
cup. Farm and Ranch.

A Great Scott by n wee SCOT.

Whatever part Of the syndicate that calls
itself Andrew Lang wrote the "Sir Walter
Scott" for the Literary Lives series
Charles Scribner's Sonsl, 1t cannot have
been the Scotsman. Former volumes of
the series, like DR.. Barry's "Renan' and
Mr.. Shorter's Charlotte Bronte,' have been
notable books. Here we have a right to
expect appreciation, perhaps a little too
much enthusiasm, at any rate a fair pres
e~ntation OF the Wizard Of the North. In
stead we get a great deal OF Mr.. Andrew
Lang, an inordinate amount Of Soott's
financial difficulties, which Mr.. Lang does
not understand or fails to make clear, and
apologies for things that need none.
This Is the way Mr.. Lang praises: "To
appreciate the Lay and Its success. we
must either have read it in childhood, when
glamour seems a probable art, or we must
have imagination enough to UNDERSTAND
how perfectly and delightfully."- norel was
the poem. We do not now appreciate the
charm of all this freshness Therefore
only the young and Border people, like Mr..
Lang, who know the geography, can APP
preciate the Lay of the Last Minstrel, .
and to prove this he quotes more h two
pages Of the least poetical part OF the poem,
bristling with proper names.
Further on he regrets that adverse crlti-
cism OF the first chapters put of the publi-
cation Of "waverley" for nine years. Scott
would have worked the new vein, n for
eighteen new Waverley novels lat the rate
of two yearly we would cheerfully give up
'Marmion,' The Lady Of the Lake. 'Rokeby'
and The Lord OF the Isles.'' We fancy
that Mr.. Lang is alone in that wish. IT ia
the fashion to run down Scott's poetry
nowadays, and perhaps youth is the time
when it IL enjoyed hest. But we are sorry
for youth that has not read it for its OWL
sake, regardless OF college requirements
for admission.
In one of his rather aimless digressions
Mr.. Lang makes the remarkable discovery
that the practice by gentlemen Of forming
libraries began to decline In 1914 and soon
ceased to be. The man who killed the
formation Of private libraries was Waiter
Scott. His 'Waverley' appeared In 1914,
and henceforth few people purchased any
books except novels. Poetry soon became
a drug in the market and the taste for
the classics whether ancient or modern,
died away; the novel was everything, and
presently novels were procured from the
circulating library" That Is q pretty
broad indictment Of "Waverley," and one,
we are confident, utterly contrary to fact.
There were more private libraries, well
provided with their share Of classics in
the nineteenth century than the eighteenth
century over dreamed Of. Mr.. Lang is talk
ing through his Glengarry and knows it.
The volume Is illustrated with many
portraits of Sir Walter.

WILD WEST HERE IN NEW york,
Court Hear OF Making = TenderfOOt Dance
With Fatal Results.


A story Of the West was told In Judge
McMahon's court in General Sessions yes
terday, but the scene was laid in the streets
Of this city. It concerned the killing of
James Supple on the night Of November %
last in front Of three new buildings at 2So
East Twenty-elghth street.
Supple, a young man. lived at 1926 East
Twenty-ninth street. He started for a ball
about 0 O. clock at night and had to pas in
front OF the new buildings. There were
three watchmen there-Frank Featherson,
James Gibbons and William Cody. With
them was Henry Crowley, who had nothing
to do but spend his time wit the watohmen.
According to the story told yesterday,
Supple had lived in the neighborhood all
his life and was known to Crowley. The
watohmen knew him by sight. So when
Supple came along they held him up. They
demanded rs cents for beer and got it.
They had had more beer before that. Sup
pie was so easy that they thought they would
nave some fun. One Of the men pulled a
revolver, and in a jiffy a revolver was In
each mans hand.
Now said Crowley, according to the
testimony. dance, Jimmy, dance, an be
quick"
Al AM dance said Jimmy. Nov stop

you've got to dance, . insisted Crowley.
Supple, made no move. In a second there
were shots aimed at Jimmy's feet and he
did jump some: On the corner were a num-
Der of men and women. They jumped into
doorways. Before the pistols had stopped
| Supple gave a yell and collapsed on a sand
heap. The shooting stopped. Crowley ran
over to Supple. You're not hurt, are you
| JIMMY" he asked.
sim shot" said Jimmy.
When the shooting stopped Mrs. Mary
Hebe and her sister ran up. So did Jack
Brennan, who lived in Inc neighborhood.
They all knew Jimmy Supple. Mrs. Hebe
grabbed him on one side and Crowley
grabbed him by the other. They carried
him to a drug store on the corner. When
the ambulance came there was nothing for
the doctor to do. Jimmy vas dead.
Mrs. Hebe told her story on the stand
yesterday. She had to take a pistol and
show how the revolver held by Crowley
pointed at Supple. She became 80 excited
that when she left the stand she fell in a
faint. 1t was fifteen minut before she
was revived.
Crowley is on trial for murder in the first
degree and his three companions are in
dicted for the same offence. EN-Judge
! Rosalsky, who is defending Crowley, says
there will be no defence. 1t is commended
by Assistant District Attorney O'Connor.
who is prosecuting, that when Supple
was held up and made to hand over %
cents a felony was committed and that
as Supple was killed as a result of that
transaction murder in the first degree was
committed.

to some part Of the human frame, have
been written by DR.. G.. W. H. Kemper and

of the articles appeared in the "Enoyolo-

Again we have a study Of "The Army Of
the Potomac from 1891 to 1858, this time by
MIR Samuel Livingston French Publishing
Society Of New York;. The author had
the official papers at his disposal. We fear
that Notwithstanding this many years
must pass by before the history can be
written dispassionately. There are too
many survivors of the war left whose faith
in their old Generals is beyond all docu-
ments. There was plenty to blame on all
sides, and the apportionment Of that blame
must still depend on the point Of view.
Mr.. French presents the facts as he sees
them ~intelligently and readably. We fear
that his e~ndeavors to rehabilitate men who
failed, even without fault Of their OWL, will
hardly succeed, forthe Judgments Of history
are often pretty brutal.
