With ive firms selling buggies
in the county il would seem as If
there was no excuse for our people
sending away from home to buy
buggies and hacks. Buggy ped
dlers from the East who pay no
taxes and who are of no particular
use to us are in the community. A
prominent Perry Canyon rancher
recently ordered buggy from the
East and when IL came it was not
the kind ofa buggy he bad ordered
nor as good quality and was badly
broken up. He had obligated him
self TO pay for it however and had
to stand the loss. Had he bought OF
Hunt the Hardware Man or any
other dealer in the county he would
have avoided such trickery and
loss. Hunt showed by actual com
parison that he sold a better hack
for $40 less and he has alwavs made

NAT M'KAY AS A LOBBYIST
Magnificent Entertainment Given TO
influence Legislation.
knew How 20 Find Favor in the
Eyes of COnEressmen
with Banquets.

ellison Gardner, in Success.
The lobbyist is generally pictured as a
man who buys expensive food for legis-
lators and takes his profits in Illicit
legislation And that IS what the typical
lobbyist is. The late Nathaniel Mckay
was such. He appealed 70 members Of the
House and Senate through their CASTRO
homie systems, and grew rich on
claims" To NAT" as he was always
called. the origin of a claim was not inn
portant It might in the beginning have
been a just claim, or it might not; the
essential thing about It was the fact that
it was several generations old, and the
legitimate benefciaries dead. Such
claim is good for 80 per cent for the lob
byist who gets It through. Where the
other 50 goes may be left to the magma
ton.
But Nat" furnished bed as well as
board. As the crowning feature Of his
long and successful career as an influ-
encer Of legislation, he built a small hotel,
the Dewey, in which suites were fur
nished for number of his more favored
Congressman. On these suites he spent
his money and his taste, with the result
that the furniture was hand-painted and
embellished with Photographic portraits
Of his guests. From the back Of chair
for example. the intelligent countenance
Of the venerable Charles H GrosyenOr
looks out, a subtle tribute to the Ohio
solon wisdom In matters legislative. An
other suite was thus consecTated to the
Right Hon. George W. Steel. of Marion.
Ind. NOW politically defuncD. another TO
the honorable Julius Caesar Burrows
Senator for Michigan. and other members
high in the peoples trust. and the affec-
tons of the winning Nat were similar
~ honored. Nat" himself is gone but
the contest over his estate survives, as
do the portraits on the furniture, and
some of those portrayed
And the memory survives of Mats"
dinners. one in particular will go down
in history as 'the banquet of the table
cloth" At this repast, where all things
were in proportion. the damask on which
the wine and food were spread cost, as
Nat informed his guests $3.50. At the
plate of each guest-all chosen from the
Congressional Directory embroid-
cred the coat-of-arms of the guests ma
tive State. At the end of the feast a pair
of shears was passed. and the guest scis-
sored his section of the cloth as a SOU
venir of the occasion.

WOMEN IN HUNTING FIELD.
Increased Number One of Features of
Modern snort I'm England.

Modern sport tn England.
1t will be generally agreed, I think, says
a writer In the Pail Mall Gazette, that the
increase OF ladies' in the Held is a most re-
markable feature OF modern sport.
The modern hunting woman differs ma
terially from her predecessor in the field
inssmueh as she is no longer content to
leave the sport TO the men as soon as
hounds have found theirsfirst fox. She is
eager and ready to take her place with
the best Of the opposite sex. and it may
be added that there are many ladies'. espe-
cially in Leicestershire who are able TO
do this quite successfully.
The side saddle has not yet been dis
'carded. and probably never will be; but
without waiting for that the general
standard OF riding among hunting women
has Immensely improved during the last
few decades. Really good lady followers
in the Midlands are now so numerous as
to arouse no special comment, and it is
marvellous how well the majority of them
manage 10 maintain their trimness and
elegance 10 the end Of lengthy day in
the saddle
told how much admiration and stir was
created by the way in which Miss Holmes
topped her fences. Nowadays her riding
would be reckoned nothing out of the COM
mon, and that. take Il. shows best of all
how great an advance sportswomen have
made in this direction.

ALCOHOL AS A BY-PRODUCT
Is Much More Economical Than
Kerosene.
Surplus Farm Crops Might Be Turned
Into DenHtuFed Product with
Great Profit.

/ Ask the Western or Eastern farmer and
he viii tell you that 200 bushels is not an
unusual crop Of potatoes TO the acre on
many of the nations potato patches. This
quantity viii furnish fully fifty gallons of
alcohol. The country's potato harvest

bushels. bushel Of ordinary field csrn
such as is grown on the 1,000-acre and
I 10,0oC-acre fields of Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa viii yield five gallons Of spirits by
modern distillation. Allowing but four
/ gallons to the bushel for the sake Of ar
gument, the national crop of this cereal
would produce the enormous quantity OF
| 1900 100000 gallons alone.
While We call the raising of sugar beets
one Of our infant industries and have
only begun their cultivation. says Apple
tons Magazine, we have the waste product
OF 200,O00 tons for raw material for our
spirit. The cane fields of Louisiana alone
would contribute every drop of alcohol
needed in the Southland for light, power.
and other purposes.
Of course, It is preposterous to, suppose
that all of our potatoes. or corn, or any
NliANA HNaBlE VIII bt tollh Ct tea itik0 altt-
hol, but in big crop year. when corn,
for example, goes begging at 30 OF IS
cents a bushel, there is an opportunity to
turn it into something which will make
it worth, perhaps, double its value in the
original FORM
There VIII be no need Of burning it in
the stove because it is cheaper than buy
ing coal. as has been done many times
on the prairie. The manufacture of alco-
hol thus creates a new source of con-
sumption for some Of our leading surplus
crops, which should be a valve Of the
utmost Importance in regulating produc-
ton and in maintaining prices.
Yes, these figures seem incredible. for
the reason that we have considered alco-
hol as a rare, a costly commodity but be-
fore Congress decided upon its release
from bondage committees obtained con-
vncing testimony that the spirit is not
merely one of the most useful servants Of
humanity, but one Of the most easily OBJ
tanned
We remember that the farmer lighted
his home with spirit lamps. Why did lie
not use kerosene2 Because the spirit
gave him more illumination for less
money. In recent years the gas mantle
has become popular because of the light
it affords for reading. a versatile French
man discovered that the mantle can be
utilized with an alcohol burner. a gallon
of alcohol is sufficient to keep It burning

grade of kerosene, requires one gallon
to burn 1S5 candlepower hours, as the ex-
pert terms it, Therefore, q gallon of
spirit viii furnish nearly twice as much
illumination as kerosene. In fact. if il
sold at 81 cents gallon it would be more
economical to use than kerosene at 10
cents a gallon.

One occasionally finds in the United
States as well as in secluded hooks of the
odd World. regions in which superstltious
medical practices. handed down from
father 70 son for no one knows how many
hundreds Of years, not only survive, but
also show an astonishing degree Of
vitality writes John Hawkins in the Pop
ular Science Monthly
Such a region occurs in the central part
of South Carolina. II is a strip Of eoun-
try about 100 miles long and from thirty
to fifty miles wide. lying along the San
tee. the Congaree. Broad, and saluda
rivers, and including parts of the coun-
ties of Orangeburg, Lexington, Eewberry
and Saluda. The early European settlers
OF this region were Germans. who came
about the middle Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, from the lower Palatinate, Baden,
Wurtemberg, and Switzerland At a little
later date small groups and isolated fam
lies Of Scotch-Irlsh. of English, and Of
French from the Huguenot settlements
Of the coast region established themselves
among these peasants from the banks OF
the Rhine. But broadly speaking. this
part of Carolina was in the early days a
bit OF Germany transplanted bodily into
the New World; and undIsturbed by sub
sequent immigration, it's inhabitants have
retained 10 the present day many Of the
traits and characteristics Of their ances-
tors.
Until 90 or 100 years ago. according TO
local historians. there were no physicians
in this region. Besides the stock OF medi-
cal lore IN the possession of the old wo-
men Of every country neighborhood, the
sick had recourse only TO a system Of
practice known as using" which con-
sisted in rubbing the affected part with
the hands Of the operator. blowing the
breath upon it. and repeating over the
patient certain ancient charms or mean
tations, in the efficacy of which both doc
tor and patient had unbounded faith. AT
the present day physicians here are plen-
tiful, and in earnings and skin they com.
pare favorably with those of any coun-
try district, but there is stiH a class Of
people which clings tenaeiously TO the
old beliefs; and this class IS apt-espe-
cialIy when regular physicians fail. as
they sometimes must TO relieve tne al
ficted-to have recourse TO some old man
or woman who enjoys a local reputation
for skill in magic. Whether a cure is
thus effected or not. belief in the method
is not shaken. for. as Bacon remarks. men
count the hits but not the misses. An
occasional success offsets many failures.
and so faith in the formulas which age
and sae authority of the elders have rem
dered sacred remains unimpaired.
Differences in Method.
As one star dinereth from another in
glory, so. too. the practitioners Of using
differ from one another in skill and in
extent OF knowledge. Some are acquaint-
ed with the methods, but have little sue
cess in practice. To some who are sue
cessful only one or TWO Of the charms
are known; others possess a half dozen

Colonial diaries and letters make It
plain that our unfortunate ancestors suf-

swelled faces. and the early loss by forcl-
bic extraction OF teeth which at a later
period might have been saved TO render
their owners many years of further SER

teeth was little understood and that little
often but negligently practeed.
Toothpicks were known, the toothbrush

employed, made Of nattened sticks. split

duced, We're regarded as by no means i'm

From HarpeEs Bazar,
The novelty in the new spring street
gowns and wraps lies principally in the
materials employed in their making
What a clever tailor has described as
a marriage of stuffs" is to be the dis
tinetive feature of the costlier new COS
tunes. Or. 10 put It less POLITICALLY
the new gowns will show a combina-
ton of materials in addition TO hand
some buttons and braids. Braids. hay
ing practically Just come In, are sure
10 continue to be worn for another
season; but their costliness and dust
gathering quality, together with their
tendency to fray, will make their life
short as popular garniture. These
drawbacks to tie plentiful use OF fancy
braids nave already set the ingenuity
OF dressmakers to work to substitute
other trimming which win be as effect
I've, more durable, and less expensive.
Unexpected combinations are being pre-
scented in the models just showing
Cloth gowns are taking on velvet
bands, vests and whole boleros; or
this order is reversed. Silk and cloth
are combined in the same way. and
plaids vague and plaids sharply de-
fined, together with checks, are plenti-
fully shown in street and house gar
ments. especially in knockabout suits
and dresses. Numbers OF twO-piece
suits are shown in which the skirt and
bOler0 or short jacket are of different,
without being of contrasting, materi-
ais. One point of novelty in this
marriage Of stuffs" is that the two
materials shown in combination match
perfectly in color, except, of course,
where check or plaid forms one Of the
materials. In such case the predomi-
mating color in the check or plaid must
be that of the plain material with
which IL is combined. A second pc
culiarity is In the scarcely distinguish
able texture Of the cloth and the silk
so combined. The new fine cloths are
so lustrOus and soft that they have
the dull CLINT OF soft finish.
