THE "KER0sENE BUGGY" IN THE COUNTRY
TOWN.


Old Gransir Boswell came to town
drivin' his old fea-b bit gray that
hadn't moved out'n walk in more'n
twelve year. But when Bills snort
in sulky hove in sight, the old boss
sot fiat in the middle of the road for
to take good look at it. He didn't
wait to say what he seed he raised
head an tail an got away from thar
like he was trainin' for fake race in
New Orleans. Gransir Boswell had
sense enough for to roll out whar he
could hit in a mud hole, but the old
gray never did stop ontill he run spang
through the barndoor at home, which
was some miles away. Our home
editor had piece about it the next
week, an said that hamestring an
a hoss-collar had been found in the
county, but the body an frame of the
buggy, relics of bygone time, had
teetotally disappeared. An he wound
up by sayin' that in these times itbe-
hove ever body for to have Their hoss-
es an mules broke to civilization an
circus wagons.
Bill had smooth sailin' for awhile,
an his machine was the wonder Of
the hour. Why, when he esquoze the
hot water bag that blows his horn, it
sounded for all the world like he had
a Florridy bull-yearling tied to the
runnin' gear. Folks had been stand
in out on the streets watchin' the an
tics of his machine, but when they
heern this fuss, they scooted an run
to cover like rabbits when they hear
a dog bark. The wimmen watched
Bill through the blinds, an the chill
dren peeped at him from behind the
corners of the houses. His kerosene
buggy was better than forty policemen
for keepin' the streets clear of loafers
an runnin' the COWS an hogs oh'n
the public squar. Joel Chandler
Harris in Uncle RemnS'S Magazine.

THE MODOCs.

Placidily smoking the pipe of peace,
apparently forgetful of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives and
survivors of the renowned Modocs,
who took part in the most interesting
Indian rebellion in American history,
are living on allotments near Miami,
I. T. These fifty are perhaps the
only survivors or relatives of the once
powerful tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remembered,
were an Indian tribe of northern Cal
ifornia and southern Oregon. In
1872 they became turbulent and re-
fused to remain on their reservations
General E. R. S. Candy, a veteran
of the Mezieau aud civil waIs, was
sent against them, but they, after fir
ing on the United States forces, re-
treated to the lava beds. The advance
Of the United States troops was great
ly impeded by the peculiar topography
of the country, and good many of
them were picked off by Indian sharp
shooters concealed behind the rocks
and crags of the lava beds. Efforts
were then made to negotiate with them
and conference was held between
General Candy and two peace commits
sioners on the one hand and number
of Modocs, including their chief, Cap
tain Jack, on the other. While Gen
eral Candy and his aids were seated
on stones around a small fire two In
dams who were concealed in the
bushes rushed from their hiding place
with guns and shot to death the gen.
eral and one of his companions. A
vigorous campaign was then begun
against the treacherous Indians, and
in the following summer General JEFF
ferson c. Davis, who succeeded Gen.
eral Candy, captured the Modoc band.
Captain Jack and three other leaders
were tried by military commission
and hanged, while two others were
imprisoned for life. About 100 who
had not followed Captain Jack were
permitted to remain in California. The
remainder, about I45, of whom the
fifty are either survivors or descend
ants, were transferred to the Indian
Territory.
Altogether the war cost $500, 900.
Sixty odd soldiers and Indian allies
were killed and nearly as many
wounded.
Little Man, WHO'S said to be aneph-
ew of Captain Jack, is the only known
relative of the famous warrior. Chief
Scarecrow, now bent with age and in
trinity, is one of the survivors of the
rebellion. Besides him are two or
three others who were transported
from California. The others now in
the Territory are all descendants ofthe
old warriors. If the tribe continues
to dwindle as rapidly during the next
few years as it has in the past another
decade will mark the death of the last
Modoc Indian in America. Kansas

LrHCOIN's REASON.

One afternoon when Lincoln was
President word came to the war de-
partment from the provost marshal
at Portland, Me-, that Henry Jane
SON, the Confederate secret service
agent, was on his way to New York,
where he had engaged passage for
England. The war department was
at once all astir.
Charles A. Dana, then assistant
secretary of war, received the mes
sage and hastened at once to consult
with Secretary of War Stanton, says
the Ladies Home Journal.
"How do you advise me to act in
this matter2" queried Dana.
"Arrest the man at once" was
Stanton's reply; "but you had bet
ter see the President before you pro-
ceed further
Dana went Immediately to the
White House. AS he was frequent
visitor he was readily admitted to
Lincoln's private room.
"What is it, Danar" asked the
President as the secretary came in.
Dana told about the incident and
asked the President what ought to be
done.
WELL" was the quiet reply,
"you say Jameson will soon leavethe
country?"
eyes, sir; he will escape within
few hours if nothing is done to stop
him. Ny purpose is to arrest him."
"Well," was the Presidents re-
ply, "when you have a white ele-
phant on your hands and he's doing
his level best to get away, why not
leave him alone, Dana 7"
And Jameson was let alone.

AN OLD woMAE,s ROMANCE.
By HERO STRONG.

I am an old woman now, widowed
and alone. All my children have
gone before me, and it is not long
before I shall follow, and the thought
gives me great comfort. On this side
of the river / have nothing; on the
other side everything! Why should
l fear to cross to those who love me
and whom I love?
I am going to unfold for you leaf
of my early life. Perhaps the skep-
tical among you will not believe what
I am about to write, but if so, pray
ascribe whatever is improbable and
unreal about it to the wandering
vagaries of a poor old woman, and
think no more of it.
1 was the daughter of an English
country curate. Of course my father
was poor-curates always are. / had
one brother, older than myself, a
wild, reckless, unprincipled fellow,
whose conduct broke my fathers heart
at last.
Gerald, that was my brothers.
name, was continually getting him
self into trouble, from which only
money could extricate him, and there
was no one to help him but my poor
father, and the consequence was that
the family purse was always at the
lowest ebb, and my mother and my
self were put to all sorts OF shifts to
keep the family wardrobe in state
Of shabby decency. Until my mother
died, don't think / ever had a new
dress. All my dresses were made out
of hers, for she had been the child of
wealthy father, and at the time of
her marriage her outfit had been law
ish and costly.
When she died-I was sixteen then
II had suit of mourning. They
were my very first new clothes, and
dating from that time onward there
has always been to me sort of funeral
significance about new clothes. l
always shudder when l put them on,
so vividly do remember the dismal
stiffness aud coldness of that mourn
ing bombazine, with its heavy folds
of charnel-house smelling Grape.
A year after my mothers death,
Richard Earle came to the rectory to
board for few weeks. He had come
down from London for his health,
aud meeting my father in the village,
had asked for rooms in our little
house. He made no trouble, and old
Bess, our one servant, declared it was
a pleasure to wait on him-he was
such a handsome and sweet. spoken
young gentleman.
1t is not hard for you to guess how
it terminated. / was young, sim
ple-natured country girl, with lone
ly, desolate heart, and he was new
revelation of love and life. l loved
! him-there was no other way for me,
and he loved me in return.
It will not seem vain for me to
speak of it, now that l anu gray and
wrinkled. but in my youth was very
beautiful, and almost every young
man met told me so with his eyes,
if not with his lips.

A LUCKY MISTAKE.

Mr.. Bergamot had his life insured
in an organization that collected its
premiums in the form of monthly as
sessments. His assessment was three
or four dollars, and to make it "come
easier" as he said, he bought small
'family savings bank" and presented
1t to his wife.
s'Now Belinda" he said, "as my
insurance is for your benefit, / want
you to see that there is always money
enough in this thing to pay my as
sessment when the tine comes round.
I'll drop a dime in 1t occasionally in
stead of buying cigar, and you can
do the same with any loose change
that's sleft in the house pocketbook at
the close of each day.
"Just you take the responsibility
in your own hands, and perhaps you
won't buy something from every ped
Ter that comes to the house. To show
you that 1 trust you with it, here's the
key to the bank
Mrs. Bergamot accepted the charge.
The scheme appeared to work admir-
ably. In fact, as the end of the month
drew near it became apparent that
there was more in the bank than would
be needed to pay the assessment.
One evening, however, she turned sud-
denly to him and said:
Henry, there was man here to-
day with the loveliest little machine
for grinding up meat, so you can
make your own sausage; and all he
asked for it was-by the way, Henry,
you didn't give me the right key to
that savings bank.
Mr.. Bergamot took out his bunch
of keys and looked them over.
you're right, Belinda" he said.
81 thought I did-but perhaps it is
just as well. I guess we'll stick to
this arrangement: you keep the cash,
and I'll carry the key."-VoHth'S Is
Comsbanion.

DntAHD FOR BASKET WILLOWS.

Ninety-nine per cent. of the best
grade basket willow used in this coun-
try is imported from Europe, accord
ing toa Massachusetts, manufacturer
of high grade furniture and basket
ware, who has just submitted state
ment u the Forest Service. This firm
uses tie best stock only, and is sup
piled entirely from France.
Thefact is emphasized that the de-
mand for high grade willow rods is
constantly increasing and the supply
is falling short. European manufac-
turers compete keenly for the best
produGs in their countries, and until
recently only the inferior rods were
shipped to America, where they have
been beught at three times the prices
quoted or similar stock few years
ago.
Uncle SIM is encouraging the grow
ing of high grade basket willow rods
in this counvy and has successfully
Experimental with holts near Wash
ington. Select cuttings have been
distributed among farmers, with direc-
tions for planting and preparing for
market. Particular attention is given
to selecting the varieties and strains
best suited to the soil where the plant
ings will be made.
At the present state of increase in
the consumption of basket willows an
over. production under normal devel-
opment is hardly possible during the
period of a mans life, or at any rate,
not during the life of a we'll regulated
willow holt, which may be from 20 to
80 years.
The demand for basket willows is
so great and the production so quick
and easy that hardly any other farm
crop can compete with it. The will
low basket industry is far from having
reached its highest point of develop
ment and the list of articles which are
now made and eventually will be
made out of willow rods is practically
without limit.
The Forest Service is prepared to
furnish information to those who de-
sire to plant and will also furnish free
cuttings for experimental planting

A BUSINESS LESSON.

Peter Cooper was one of the most
successful, careful and prudent busi-
ness men of his time. He was strong
ly opposed to the methods of many
merchants who launched out into ex-
travagant enterprises on borrowed
money, for which they paid exhorbi-
tant rates of interest. The following
anecdote illustrates this point very
forcibly:
Once, while talking about a pro-
ject with an acquaintance, the latter
said he would have to borrow the
money for six months, paying inter-
est at the rate of 8 per cent. per
month.
why do you borrow for so short
time? p Mr.. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers will not nego-
tiate bills for longer"
"Well, if you wish," said Mr..
Cooper, II will discount your note at
that rate Tor three years.
care you in earnestl" asked the
would-be borrower.
Certainly am. I will discount
your note for $Io,o 900 for three years
at that rate. Will you do it ?''
"Of course l will, " said the mer-
chant.
Every well," said Mr.. Cooper.
''Just sign this note for $4,000,
payable in three years, and give your
check for $500. and the transaction
will be complete"
But where is the money for me 70
asked the astonished merchant.
"You don't get any money!" was
the reply. "YoIr interest for thirty
six months at 8 per cent. per month
amounts to roS per cent, or $40, 300.
Therefore your check for $500 lust
makes US even.
The force of this practical illustra-
tion of the folly Of paying such an
exorbitant price for the use of money
was such that the merchant deter
mined never to borrow at such ruin
Gus rates, and he frequently used to
say that nothing could have so fully
convinced him as this rather humor-
Gus proposal by Mr.. Cooper.
