TRIBUTE TO STANLEY.
An Admirer Sizes Him Up as
Neither Saint Nor Devil.

The wire has told you of the inn
mense gathering Of Kentucky and
Tennessee tobacco growers at Hop
kinsville on August 3lst to hear the
Hon. A. o. Stanley's defense OF the
cooperating farmers against the
malevolent assaults of the Tobacco
Trusts press agents.
wish every member Of the Stem
ming District Tobacco Association
could have been there. Thousands
of happy, hopeful, prosperous farm
ers were there and l Judge that there
were quite fifteen hundred from
Tennessee in that vast throng. For
second to Felix Ewing alone is STAN
ley placed by Tennesseeans in the
upbuilding Of that immortal aggre-
cation known as the Dark Tobacco
Protective Association Of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Virginia. / have
heard the most prominent leaders
down there ungrudgingly yield that
place to Stanley. And the rank and
file of the membership, whether
Kentuckians or Tennesseeans, simply
idolize the great young leader who
has donated so much of his time and
money to freeing the tobacco grow
ers of that vast district from the
CALLING chains of Trust slavery. Dur
ing the first two years of the exist
ence of that association Stanley was
ever at the beck and call of Felix
Ewing. Night or day, rain or shine,
fair weather or foul weather, when
the summons came from Felix Ew-
ing it met with prompt compliance
on the part of Stanley. For Stanley
knew that the sick leader was hard
pressed and all but exhausted and
overwhelmed by the fierce assaults
of the powerful and merciless To-
bacco Trust. And the gratitude of
Felix Ewing knew no bounds, as was
by his generous tender of
compensation to Stanley for his
timely and Invaluable services. But |
Stanley would none of it; Il can't"
he simply said to Mr.. Ewing. Il
cannot take compensation for my
in this noble cause. My
people have been good and generous
to me, and it has afforded me the
zeenest delight to seize the first
great opportunity where my capaci-
ties supplied me with sufficient pow |
er to be of some assistance TO my
insulte1 and plundered |
farmer friends. Leave to me the !
comforting reflection it was done
without thought of compensation"
Service is religion; service to ones
fellow man; service to some noble
cause.
Measured by that standard Stan
ley is a saint.
Seems odd-seems sorter reckless
to call Stanley a saint-don't it?
Trust people call him Night Rider,
Devil, Demagogue.
Wit is definition. Define man? Any
individual? At best a mere approx
nation. Define a Stanley? Impossi
BILE!
Since it is impossible t, any to de-
fine Stanley, this writer has as good
right as any other to attempt it; say /
then, literally, he is half child and |
half genius, with flashes of illuminat-
ing executive practically, fascinat-
ing reincarnation combination of

GETTING BACK AT LAWYERS.
some sharp and witty Replies b!
Witnesses to Questions.


Rochester Herald.
Overshrewd lawyers often furnish
their adversaries with weapons. Did
you see this tree that has been men
toned by the roadside?" an advocate
inquired.
YES. sir, I saw it very plainly"
1T was conspicuous, thenT"
The witness seemed puzzled by the
new word. He repeated his former
assertion.
whats the difference" sneered the
lawyer, between plain and conspicu-
ous?"
But he was hoist with his own Pc
trad. The witness innocently an
swered:
IT can see you plainly. sir, among
the other lawyers though you are not
q bit conspicuous"
In another witness blow directed
against the character of witness for
chilly recoiled.
You were in company of these peo-
pie " he was asked
ct two friends. sir"
"Friends-two thieves, I suppose you
mean"
THAT may be true" was the dry re-
tort; they are both lawyers"
The blow that destroys the effect of
an adverse examination Is occasionally
more the result of accident than con-
scious effort. In trial not long ago
a very simple witness was in the box
and after going through his ordeal WAS
ready to retire. One question re-
manned.
Now, Mr.. -, has not an at
tempt been made to induce you to tell
the court a different story?"
"A different story to what 1 have
told, sir?"
Yes. Is 1t not so?'
Yes, sir"
Upon your oath, l demand to know
who the persons are who attempted
this?"
Wei. sir, you've tried as hard as
any of EN- was the unexpected an

from two to three thousand Sunday
school workers, the occasion being
the annual convention Of the Ala
hama Sunday School Association.
The local Sunday schools have been
at work for the past six weeks max
ing preparations for this gathering
and even today there were meetings
OF committees to further consider the
matter of accommodations for the
delegates and visitors. Several weeks
ago circular letters were sent out
throughout the State urging all Sun
day schools to elect delegates and to
send in names of those thus chosen.
The committees here have received
tn names of no less than 1900 to
1000 already and every mail brings
others. Some of the most pi ointment
citizens In various communities are
given as delegates selected and in
several instances city and town off,
cials are among the number.
The reports from the committees
given out today would indicate that
every delegate and visitor to the
city this week will find a hearty well
come. The trains will be met by the
White Cap committee, men and women
attired with neat costumes and white
caps. A bureau of information will
be opened and the guests will be as
signed to accommodations sust as
they arrive.
The convention proper will be held
at the First Baptist Church on Twen-
ty-second street and Sixth Avenue.
Should there be any overflow, and
there Is no doubt but that there will
be. the First Presbyterian and Cum
ber'and Presbyterian Churches will
be used. The convention will last
for three days.
Special rates have been granted by
the railroads and II Is expected that
the attendance will be larger than
ever before.
The city will do its share towards
entertaining the visitors. Every
privilege has been extended the SUM-
day school workers. The program for
the big convention was announced
from the secretary's office in Mont
gomery few days ago and includes a
number of addresses by prominent
workers from all parts of the State.

could change their wet clothes before
going home." so the story was told.
"Their employers secuted both re-
quests. They only scrubbed the floors
and 10 cents an hour was all that such
menial work was worth, while the idea
Of dressing-rooms was spoken of as
preposterous. One little woman, more
intelligent and persevering than the
rest. induced the scrubwomen to organ
ize, to form a union OF their own.
When that was accomplished they
struck. Such a thing as a scrub
women's strike had never been heard
Of. Day after day the floors Of the
Chicago slSyscrapers grew thicker and
thicker with accumulated trash and
black Chicago SCOT. The employers
could get no one to do the scrubhing.
When they finally did offer to treat the
little organizer had gone up in her
terms. The outcome was that the wo-
men got II IL cents an hour for their
scrubbing, and a dressing room was
fitted up in every slSyscraper."

CARE OF The TURKEYS.

Some Valuable Suggestions From q
Widely Known Expert.
Mrs. Charles Jones Of Pawpaw, IN,
has the following in the Poultry
Keeper:
In the fall turkeys need very little
care, as they do best to have q large
range and pick up their own living.
They are very healthy at that time Of
the year, and there is only one trouble
TO contend with, and that - where
they have access to an oats field where
the oats have been thrashed, as they
eat so much Of the grain that It fills
the gizzard so full that the food can
not be digested. 1 have opened chick
ems that have gorged themselves with
oats until their glzzards we're 80 pack
ed that the food could not move OF,
and the consequence was death.
For bowel troubles, which turkeys
sometimes have. have given olive or
linseed oil in large doses about three
times. After the last dose is given at
night give quinine.
Heavy toms are liable to have bum
BILE foot. which is caused by jumping
down from high places where they
roost. For this trouble 1 have soaked
the foot and put on poultce, but this
does not work wen. as a turkey has so
much blood in it's foot that the poultice
draws the blood to the foot, and II
makes matters worse. 1 have a case
that 1 am trying corn salve on and
think 1t Will help to make a cure.
As one extreme In the seasons usual.
ly is followed by other extremes, we
may hope for a good year next year in
our turkey crop, and evidently every
one thinks so, as the demand for
breeding stock is already large. To III
turkeys for the show room or the mar.
ket requires about the same treatment
Let them have their liberty and pick
up their own living, with access ID
clear water and sharp grit, with plenty
OF coarse grit for mature turkeys.
never feed my turkeys until the
ground freezes, as they pick up the
grain where the stock is fed. Turkeys
intended for market can be kept con
fined for about ten days and fed fat
tening food. and 1 have never found
anything to put on weight equal t.
new corn boiled several hours and fec
a little warm, not hot, as think ho
mashes the cause OF roup, as I used t.
have roup in turkeys and chickens. and
since / have cut out warm mashes
have never had the roup in my nOcks
II has been several years since hav'
even had a symptom of It. Warm, dry
houses and dry feed win avoid roup.

PENNSY PLANS TO
REDUCE SERVICE
If 2-Cent Law is Upheld EX-
pendituTcS Will be
CurtaiIed

PITTsBURG. Dec. 27-Unless the
two-cent rate law is declared uncon-
stitutional, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has decided to reduce the passenger
train service on all Of its branches in
Pennsylvania so as to make its income
meet its expenditures.
For the past two months experiments
have been made on the various lines
to ascertain how many trains can be
taken off without reducing existing
traffic. Thanksgiving Day and Christ
mas Day the usual holiday low-fare
tickets were abolished. Forty trains
were annulled on these days out OF
Pittsburg. The figures on this annul-
ment were tabulated and will be used
as a record in the new train schedule
to be adopted If the two-cent fare
stands the test OF the Supreme Court.
Experiments have also been made to-
ward having special trains handle large
crowds that may gather for given
point for special destination. 1t IS
the intention to have trains prepared
for the carrying OF these overfiows;
then the trains are to be taken on.
There is also rumor TO the effect
that orders will be issued by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company that all
shop men will have to take ten days
vacation in the summer without pay.
This practice will create a great saving
in wages during the year.
