Present Literary Demand.

The demand for all kinds of reflec- tive writing is now very small, and the vehicles for such writing are di- minishing in number. The paying public of to-day want to be told how to do things. where to go, what to read, how to dress and behave, and how to keep string in a string box; in short, how to do the things which their parents did every day of their lives by common sense and mother wit. At present it is indifferent to essays and poetry and every kind of pure literature. = London T. P.'s Weekly.

THE LOWLY HEN A
 SOURCE OF WEALTH
Eco and Poultry Business in North vest Arkansas Only Second in Im- portance to the Great Apple
 Crop.

Sloan Springs, Oct. 23.-Sec' ond only to the big red apple, tht Iowly hen must be accorded recop pition as tue biggest factor in the production of the wealth of northwest Arkansas. Great .s is the income of the farmers from their apples, peaches and strawberries, the volume of this bustuess does not greatly over shadow that of the poultry and egg business.
 Conservative estimates of ship oers place the total value of the poultry and eggs shipped out of Benton county during the past year at considerably more than s3oo,oOO. Tine relative import. auce of this business is realized when il is remembered that the apple crop in Benton county in this year of high prices will not exceed a million aud a half of dollars.
 The great sum of $500, GOO represents only the export busi. ness for the year and the income from local consumption would add considerable sum to the total. The proportion of the local consumption to the export business would be much greater than in tue fruit business.
 Profits Go to Every Farm.
 In one way the poultry and egg business IS held to be relatively of more importance to the pro- ducers than the apple business, because of the fact that the money derived from this business is distributed more generally among the farmers. Every farm CTS wife has her chickens and gets her share of the money which the world pays for these products. The business does not represent the capital and labor which is necessary to produce the great fruit crop of the county. It is a source of wealth in the pro- duction of which the farmers wives and children have a chance to participate. While the total income from the business is smaller than that from the or chards, 1t represents far greater profit upon the capital invested
 About 75 per cent of the total income from the poultry and egg business IS derived from the eggs. This means that the eggs shipped from Siloam Springs this year will represent total value of more than $l00. O00' This is the dull season m both branches of the business, the biggest business in both lines being done in the spring months.

More Platinum.

The Commercial and Industrial Gazette. of St. Petersburg. describes new deposit of platinum that has been found in the Urals on the river Schumich. The sand is easily ac- cessible. and the platinum is so plen- tiful that poachers, with the most primitive washing apparatus, have been making an average of $100 a month. Hitherto only gold had been obtained in that region. The color of the platinum is dark, and 1t Is hoped that 1t contains iridium. There is a brisk struggle going on between the poachers and regular miners, and a body of troops has been sent to the scene to protect the latter.

men for the place. On their advice the
demonstrations among the radicals in
Goldfield ceased; their counsel against
agitation in labor unions all over the
country, in which governors, courts and
the president were denounced, pre-
vailed; they persuaded Debbs to stay
away from Boise. In short, Darrpw
and Richardson's conduct in the begin
ming established confidence where con-
fidence was lacking, and it appeared for
time that the great trial would be
brought to close without the rancor
that preceded it. 1t was the hope that
the trial could be held, and at it's close
there would be general agreement that
justice had been given.
CRITICISM on the way the jury is made
up does not tend to increase the regard
that good citizens have held for Darrow
and Richardson. Possibly the state
ments attributed to them had no mean
ing to the authors than mere state
ment of facts, but the reader who is
looking for something will detect plan
for founding an excuse for failure
that may follow. The criticism on the
jury will be fuel to many of the
misguided individuals who pirate on lack
of justice in the courts Of this country
and try to justify the acts of violence
that are charged against the federation
officials. Of course, there should not
be such people in this country, but the
fact that there are such people, ought
to have powerful influence on the de-
fendant's attorneys to say nothing that
would infame their minds and cause
them to do any rash deeds that would
reflect on the men on trial or their or
ganization.

Defense's Criticism Of the Jury.

In an interview with Mr.. barrow and
Mr.. Richardson, attorneys for the de-
tense in the trial at Boise, those gentle
men are reported to have made the fol-
lowing statements in regard to the jury:
''The Haywood jury is made up of
eight republicans, three democrats and
one prohibitionist- 1t consists of nine
farmers, one real estate agent, one
building contractor and one foreman OF
fence construction ona railroad. There
is no man on the jury who works for
wages or who has ever belonged to a
labor organization, except that Burns
was member of carpenters union
Ia years ago, or who has ever been a
student of trades unionism or the labor
question. In the 200 odd jurors drawn
! not more than three trades unionists
were placed in the panel and these were
excused for conscientious objections to
capital punishment and fixed opinions.
The jurors drawn have been mainly
farmers interspersed with large
number of bankers and some business
men. The jurors appear to be men of
honest purposes, determined to give the

formly made Up of a class to which
none of the defendants have ever be-
longed and who have no natural kinship
to labor organizations. In addition to
this they are drawn from a small county
almost wholly agricultural and each
member for a year and a half has read
little about the case except what has
been contained in the Boise daily pap
ers and this has uniformly been hostile
to the defendants. Nearly all of them
admitted that they had formed opinions
and impressions from what they read
and necessarily these must have been
against the defendant.
When the attorneys for the defense
in the Haywood trial took charge few
weeks ago, they went at it in way
ed citizens that they were the proper

The Spokane Chronicle is afraid that
with the unusual activity in mining in
the northwest this summer that city
will again get the unenviable repata-
ton as being the home of more wildcat
mining companies than "any other
seven cities in the country possess. !"
The Chronicles fear is well founded.
There are great number of good prop
critics that have suffered at the hands
of Spokane thinning men," who, had it
not been for lucky stroke in the
early days, would not now be living in
mansions on Cannon hill, but probably
would be making hot coffee near the
water tanks, or following the horses on
the streets. Duty well performed in
the last named occupation would carry
more honor than has come from the
work of majority of Spokane's min
ing men.

If Something Failed.

The article in this paper last week
clipped from Goodwin Weekly, discus
sing the results to the country should
the mines close down or for any reason
they would cease to add to the money
supply, opens wide field for economic
discussion, field in which the student
in political science will go way back to
the derivation of things to anchor his
argument. The object of the writer
of the article was to impress the reader
with the Importance of the mines, and,
by so doing, prove to him why capital
should become more interested in open
ing up and developing the mineral re-
sources of this country.
The field for thought is contained in
the proposition that our present system
is so made up-so sympathetic that
one principal industry cannot be taken
away without causing confusion and dis
order to all of society.
What would be the result if the crops
would fail? Or what would be the re-
suit if the wheat crop or the corn crop
would fail? One can easily picture the
result of such disaster. While the
United States is still classed as an agri-
cultural and producing country among
the nations of the world, we would soon
discover we are quite commercial
people if such disaster as failure of
crops overlook up. Substitutes fol
food in sufficient quantity to sustain life
might be found, but all the manufac-
tories that depend upon the farm fol-
raw material would have to close. The
railroads would go out of business with
the exception of passenger service, ant
even that would not long survive.
If all persons quit eating meat, thu
value of land would depreciate, count
less numbers of people would lose EN-
ployment, railways and financial insti
tutions would go to the wall, cite
would dwindle-a blight would settle OF
every walk in life.
With all these truths of what nigh
be is it worth while to speculate on tn
results that would attend the failure o
one industry? Mans wants and re
quirements are so varied and many an
society is keyed up to such tension tina
| / it seems necessary for mans well beini
that he should continue to constantl
} draw from natures store houses. TIL
mountain must continue to produce it
fuel and metal and the field its graf
and food.
