Western yankee Methods" Which do
not Prevail In the South.

A hardware and implement firm in
the West recently devised a unique
scheme with phenomenal success, the
climax proving not only amusing to the
populace, but profitable to the firm
This firm sent to every farmer in their
vicinity, several weeks prior to the
event, a circular offering a prize of $40
in gold to the person who, on a speci-
fed Saturday, should bring into their
town on one vehicle of any description
the largest number of persons, the only
requirement being that they should ar
rive before noon, and that each load of
humanity should be counted by MEM
Der of the firm in front of their place
of business
That nearly every farmer in the two
counties not only nibbled, but did his
best TO run away with the bait, hook,
sinker and all, was demonstrated on the
designated day, when from every direc-
ton, over every road, vehicles of all
descriptions and conditions, some drawn
by beasts of burden of the bovine spe-
cies, but mostly by equines of pedigree
and well-groomed appearance, began to
pour into the town, each conveyance
loaded to its capacity with men, women
and children.
They began coming soon after sunrise
and continued until nearly noon, AS
each vehicle arrived and deposited its
occupants in front of the establishment,
the crowd of sightseers as we'll as con-
testants increased.
The number Of persons brought in by
each contestant varied from twenty to
fifty until 10 o'clock, when a man arri-
we'd with fifty-one He thought he had

at 10. 40 o'clock with a wagon fifty feet
long, carrying eighty-six persons. This
was so far ahead of any other contest
ant and it was then so near noon that he
figured he could not lose.
''You have it 70 a certainty" said
one of his party.
II reckon that's what, ;" said he, as
he put his hands in his pocket and walk
ed away. He could already feel the
money jingling in his clothes. His con-
fidence was so supreme that he bought
a new hat and new tie, and then went
to a barber shop and got a shave, hair.
cut and shine on the strength of his be-
lief that he has won the $40.
But hardly had he emerged from the
barber shop when a shout went up from
the crowd and they beheld approaching
a vehicle the like of which was never
before seen in the streets Of this town,
and probably will never be seen again.
The conveyance was eighty-five feet
long and twenty feet wide. 1t moved
on eight wheels and was drawn by eight
horses. Seated on the elongated We
hicle were enough men and women,
boys and girls TO start a colony in Okla
homa or open a reservation in Dakota.
The man who held the reins with the
skill of circus driver over the eight
horses was from a village Of three
houses and thirty persons, fifteen miles
away. He drove around the square,
fullowed by throng of cheering per-
sons, and proudly pulled up his octet
of steeds at the proper place, where

ministration of justice are quite fire.
quently heard, and il is a subject upon
which the considerable thinker and writer
is bound TO feel himself in something of
a dilemma. II he joins in the criticism
with enough vigor to attract attention
to his remarks, TO enforce his views
upon the average reader, he must use
language which is likely to detract from
the respect in which the courts should
be held, and thus decrease their inhu-
ence for good.
There are, however, occasions on
which his patience Is severely tried, and
he is tempted to say harsh things which
he might afterwards regret. An Incl
dent recently transpired in Chicago, the
mere citation of which, without COM
ment, will perhaps sufficiently illustrate
the particular difficulty mentioned.
Something over year ago sixteen pow
erful and influential men were indicted
for an alleged crime against the public,
for a conspiracy TO rob the people by
unfair means. They have never been
brought anywhere near trial, and the
process is in its first stages weary
years before II ends in final conviction
and punishment.
About month ago two men employed
by this beef trust distracted from the
correspondence files Of the trust some
papers which would have been strong
evidence Of guilt. They demanded a
price from the officials OF the trust for
withholding the papers from the hands
Of the prosecution The trust at once
turned the matter over TO the criminal
authorities, and today both those mis-
guided young men are under sentence
as yet untouched, after a year The
little ones are in the pen within a
month.
This incident is submitted without
comment. further than it justifies the
unthinking in being persuaded by the
demagogue that the courts are in league
with the rich and powerful Itaccounts
for a state of the public mind that is
growing Tampa Daily Times.
