The Faith of a Celestial.

A Chicago gambler, whose first

daily. Gre Gay he rushed into the
place ard said excitcdly: "Hip, loan
me $40. Thanks. I'll come in and
paw YOU tomorrow noon if I'm
alive" And out he went with the
money. About 3 o'clock the next
afternoon a friend of the gambler
dropped in on the Chinaman AID
said, clip, where is George today"
and the confding Celestial wiped
his eyes with the corner OF his
blouse and replied, George, him

Mr.. Mekiniey's Flower.

Mr.. Mckinley was interested for
many years in a girls school in
Ohio. When he was congressman
and governor of Ohio political meet
ings often took him near the school,
and he visited it when he could. On
one of his visits he was made an
honorary member Of the class OF
'94. He was loyal member and
wore the class flower, a red carna-
ton. The message of his nomina-
ton for president reached the class
during a reunion. The girls rang
the college bell and sent a telegram
of congratulation and box OF car
nations. Another box of the class
flowers was sent on the day OF Mr..
McKinley's Inauguration. 1t may
be that this association accounts for
Mr.. McKinley's fondness for the
red carnation, which has come to be
the Mckinley flower" Youths

A WATER WITCHER.
The Way an Expert With Witch
Hazel Bouqh Worked.

1t NAV be that lis errand was in
the nature of cheerful gamble aft
er other resources failed, but the
fact remains that Mr.. Eastman was
on the ground equipped for busi-
ness and that the train waited upon
his investigations.
His outfit was simple. \ friend,
acting as assistant 'witcher," car
ried a bundle of freshly cut witch
hazel boughs, trimmed in Y shaped
branches, the leaves and buds still
on them. The two men disem-
barkcd.
Mr.. Eastman. stout, conventional
as to dress end looking a&essential-
" practical as a veteran railroad
man ought to appear, took one OF
the V shaped witch hazel boughs
and tightly graspcd the plant ends
in his two fists, holding the point or
crotch upright. Thus equipped he
moved sedately across the prairie.
The witch hazel remained upright
for perhaps fifty feet. The crowd
trailed in behind, vastly curious.
Presently the bough began to turn
or waver. The inverted ' twisted
slowly until it was parallel with the
earth or pointing straight out from
the bearer.
He slackened his gait and moved
ahead. while the telltale bough
moved slowly down until it was
pointing toward the soil. Now the
'water witcher" had it so grasped
that it was twisting in his fists, and
the tender bark along the plant
ends was beginning to break, show
ing that some force other than mus
cular effort was pulling the bough
toward the earth. When it pointed
straight down, he stopped and heel
ed mark in the grass.
Then he moved on, and very slow
ly the branch began to rise until at
length it had returned to the per-
pendicular in its original position.
The vein of water had been passed,
and the witch hazel was no longer
attracted.-From GA Water Witch
er of Prairies," in Outing Maya

Now this may sound like a rough
way of winding up the years cotton
crop, but while there may be a few
honest merchants and good honest
cotton growers engaged in this kind
of cotton growing the vast majority
of the lien law or mortgaged cotton
growers and the men who supply
them are a rough set. They usually
work the thing very much on the
plan of dog eat dog. The unscrupu-
lous SUPPLY man starts out to pull
the helpless fools for all he can to
save himself, while the mortgaged
cotton grower tries to beat the mer-
chant, all he can. Character is no
part of collateral here on either side,
but rascality under the cover of the
lien law gets the prize and small
lawyers are kept busy.

As is well known, above all other
besetting evils, rivalry, peevish and
small differences of opinions have re-
tarded progress in organizatng
farmers more than other troubles.
But at the Atlanta meeting the one
word Union seemed to be written out
in large letters at the top and at the
head of eeerv resolution and PROPOSE
tion place before this meeting. But
few if any progressive farmers
practice or approve of the eight
hour law on their farms, but in
order to keep the Union in harmonl-
Gus like order these opponents OF
this law allowed this eight hour
labor resolution to 60 through as a
real sacrifice for peace and good will
towards all.

If there is one feature above an

that harmony was sought and pre-

of the Farmers Union at Atlanta.

Is cotton made out of "niggers" and
mules? If so and these two prime
factors in the production of cotton
cost more than double what they
did when the South bnsted on five
cent cotton, how can the "all cotton

in his affairs and sell his cotton for
ten cents or less?

If merchants and supply men that
are now ut it making contracts with
cotton farmers would make it d part
of the written agreement for their
customers to grow their own food

injury of the whole South. This

sores a little. sent to the drug store

the directions, and at the end Of about
two months the sores were all well. He

constitution to which Republi-
cans object on the guarantee
from the Democratic leaders
that these defects, if found and
cited, would be corrected by the
constitutional convention when
it meets July 10, has issued a
statement. This statement is a
curiosity and in itself tribute
to the convention. The com
mlttee declares there are un-
American planks in this propos-
ed constitution but in a screed
of two thousand words never
suggests one. 1t talks about
the gerrymander and calls it un-
holy without saying that the
gerrymander Of last fall by Blk
by, Buford and others was ten
times worse. That was differ
ent. 1t was the other OK gored.
