Random Thoughts

man living near this town went to
the train to meet an aunt. who was com
ing to visit. His wife went with him
and on the way to the train he told his
wife that the aunt was very deaf. As
the train pulled in he went into the car
to meet his aunt and he told her the
same thing about his wife. They talked
as il they were at a charivari. Each
yelled at the top of her voice aud neither
was the least bit hard OF hearing, which
we think is pretty funny, even if 1t WAS
a mean trick.
There goes the hearse again, carrying
the bones and inanimate matter OF a
neighbor. And only yesterday you
fought him because he was Presby
terian instead of Methodist: we fought
him because he was a Republican in
stead OF a Democrat: and all of us fought
him because he had a few golden doub
looms each of us coveted in direct oppo
sition to the tenth commandment. To
morrow another neighbor will go down.
and next day, more likely, we will follow
This fact Is as sure as taxes and you
ought not to have it beat into you with
a mallet. Think it over once in while.
1t will do you good. Exchange.
An exchange prints some OF the old
rubbish about hog being filthy, argu
| ing that hog meat is not fit for food. A
hog is not one whit more filthy than a
COW or a horse. Pen up one of the latter
animals, feed it on swill and give it as
little care as is given hog and it will
become just as loathsome. A hog likes
to roll in the mud; so does horse or
COW. The owner of horse cleans him
of, however, while the owner of the hog
lets him clean himself by rubbing against
barn or fence. Allow the hog free
range and clean food and he is as clean
and sweet as any beast of his size. He
has better odor than either the horse
or COW and his meat is the best that
comes on anybody's table, not excepting
chicken meat.
Recently the writer visited at farm
where a man had so acre tield that was
coyote proof. 1T was made with barbed
wire at the top and a 21e foot width OF
hog wire" at the bottom. This did not
make an expensive fence but he could
turn sheep, calves or pigs out into the
field with no danger Of coyotes deyour-
ing them, says a writer in Ranch and
Range. He had in the field big flock
of barred plymouth rocks, white Holland
turkeys and pekin ducks that we're not
even shut up in house at night, but
had liberty to come and go when and
where they pleased. Lots OF farmers
can well afford Just such fence if they
can only be mada to see il that way, yel
their chickens are yearly devoured by
the coyotes. One farmer said to the
writer: 1.-The coyotes took 200 full grown
hens from me last year" Ten to one

THE IRON TRADE IS
 ADJUSTING ITSELF
IT IS NOT BELIEVED THAT THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS DEPRES- SION IN BUSINESS AS CoNDl- TONS APPEAR FAVORABLE.

Cleveland O., October 2.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say
 Slowly and without any approach to panicky feeling, the iron trade is adjust ing itself for comparatively dull period and 1t is in the fact that this prepara- ton is proceeding lies the hope that there will be no serious depression in business. It is expected, however, that large orders for steel rails will be placed after the new specifications are agreed upon by the joint committee, which has been there for some time Conditions in this country are reflected in England and there seems to be a worldwide tendency toward decreased activity In the iron and steel business. Export business is, how ever, showing indications of improvement, including willingness of manufacturers to close plants for neded repairs, is shown in many instances.
 The pig iron market continues very quiet, with sales limited almost entirely to small lots.

 Many Drastc Bills.
 When the legislature of Alabama as sembled for the session of 1SS3-4, a party. hoping for preferment, prepared and caused to be introduced immediately, numerous drastic bills intended to a large extent to take from the owners the con trol of the railway property and he was sufficiently influential to secure their in troducton simultaneously in both houses.
 "The bills were promptly referred to committees and the railways were abso- lutely refused hearing. Although they employed to represent them eX- Governor Watts who at the time was a highly esteemed citizen, he was wholly unable to secure a hearing. and all the ] bills were favorably reported in each 1 house Under these circumstances, the 1 railways appealed to the people of Ala | bama through the press; and the people 1 by petition and in other ways so exerted | their influence that the bills were referred back to the committees and the railways were given hearing.

 Women and children were out in large numbers endeavoring to stem the tide of the wet vote in the city, but were unsuccessful They sang temper ance songs, displayed banners calling upon the voters to save the boys, and doubtless had much to do with holding the wet majority down to an insig- nificant figure.
