In the Taproot of an Oak.

I remember a curious incident con nected with the taproot of an oak. This oak, good tree of perhaps POO years growth, was being felled at Bradenham wood when the woodmen called attention to something peculiar on the taproot. On clearing this of soil we found that the object was a horseshoe of ancient make. Obviously in the beginning an acorn must have fallen into the hollow of this cast shoe, and as 1t grew through the slow generations the root filled up the cir cle, carrying it down into the earth in the process of its increase till at length we found wood and iron thus strangely welded. That taproot with the shoe about 1t is now or used to be paperweight in the vestibule of Bradenham Hall-Rider Haggard.

HISGEN AND HEARST SPEAK.
Address irdiana Voters on lndependa
 ence Party's Principles.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 1.-The In- diana campaign of the Independence party was opened here at English'a Opera House, which was filled to it's capacity. The meeting was presided over by James NJ. Zion, who is promi- nently mentioned in connection with the candidacy for governor of Indiana on the party ticket. The first speakeE was George w. McCaskrin, candidato of the party for governor of Illinois. He was followed by Thomas L. His- gen. presidential candidate, and by William R. Hearst, national chairman of the new party. -
 There are three groups of citizens who are especially interested in this election-the laborer, the farmer and the business man." said Mir. Hisgen.
 "The laborer wants more work, bet ter pay and shorter hours. He is one of the greatest factors in the produc- ton of the wealth of this country, and we believe be should have his fair share of it.
 "The farmer wants a better market for his produce, and he demands the destruction of the combinations organ iZed to control the price of his prod- ucts. To this end our party demands the right of the farmers to organize so that they may be the better pre- pared to protect themselves from these monopolies.
 ''The business man demands an equal opportunity. He has not got 1t today because of the monopolies that were formed against him. The busi- ness man wants a business adminis- tration of the government, and he does not get it today because of the un-s faithfulness of public officials. With these conditions prevailing-with the prices of the necessities of life so high that honest workmen can hardly live--s the two old parties, responsible for present conditions, come before you and ask for your votes.
 'We are to restore the government back into the hands of the people. Then the wrongs that are now perpe. trated will be lighted Then we will have government in reality of the people, by the people and for the peos ple"

Poultry Fakes.

"Oh, yes," said the poultry farmer, there are tricks in every trade! Take, for instance, this old rooster here" The rooster was old. There was no denying it. He was as tough an old rooster as ever graced the summer boarders' table of a New England farm.
 "Take this old rooster" said the farmer, seizing paint brush. Black up his feet. Then break his breast bone, so, with long pair of scissors. Then push the breast up high. Whats the result? A fine young turkeys the result. and knowing housewives will scramble over one another to buy him."
 With a harsh laugh the farmer turn ed to skeleton chicken. This bird is a regular skeleton, isn't she" he said. Now watch me. See, I lay her on her back. Then I place this heavy board on her breast Then to- morrow when I come to take her to market the board will have made her scraggy breastbone almost invisible, and it will have given her very full, plump sides-no breastbone, fat sides the sure signs of a fat and tender young chicken"

Judge Says Transfer Would Bs
 Insult to Colleague.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Sept. 4.-Judge Morschauser refused to grant an order transferring Harry K. Thaw from the Duchess county jail to some other in- stitution. Application for the order was made by counsel for Robert w. Chanler, sheriff, who alleged that the Jail was not proper place to keep A prisoner who was committed as in- sane.
 Judicial comity restraining him from interfering with the order of the judge who committed Thaw to the jail was the reason given by Judge Morschau- ser
 The application was based on the re- port of an inspection made by George Mclaughlin, secretary to the state prison commission, and was supported by an affidavit by Sheriff Chanler that the jail is not T suitable place for tho confinement of Thaw as an insane per- son.
 Thaw has been in the Duchess county jail since last May, when he was committed there temporarily by Judge Morschauser pending the deter. imitation of habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Thaw to obtain his re. lease from the Matteawan asylum.

Beau Nash as a GambIsrs

When the late Earl of T. was G youth he was passionately fond of play and never better pleased than with having Mir. Nash for his antago. hist. Nash saw with concern his lords ships foible and undertook to cure him, though by a very disagreeablei remedy. Conscious of his own suped rior skill. he determined to engage him in single play for very consider able sum. His lordship in proportion as he lost his game lost his temper, too, and as he approached the gulf seemed still more eager for ruin. He lost his estate. Some writings were put into the winners possession. Ills very equipage was offered as last stake. and he lost that also. but when our generous gamester had found his lordship sufficiently punished for his temerity he returned all, only stipulat- ing that he should be paid f5,0O0 whenever he should think proper to make the demand. However. he never made any such demand during his lordship's lifetime, but some time aft CT his decease. Mir. Nash's affairs being In (sic) the wane, he demanded the money of his lordship's heirs, who honorably paid it without any hesita- tion.-"History of Gambling In Eng land"

An Unobservina Thief.

Yosouf owned beautiful horse which was very valuable. While Yo- souf was transacting business a thief stole the horse. The owner shortly afterward saw the thief leading his horse and took him before the kaid, or judge.
 "The horse is mine" sturdily insist ed the thief.
 In vain the other argued, and the kaid was about to give his decision in favor of the villain when Yosouf ad. vanced suddenly, threw his cloak over the horses head and demanded of his enemy:
 "Since you own the horse, tell the kaid in which eye the animal is blind.'
 'In the left" said the thief, making a wild guess.
 Yosouf looked toward the kaid tri. umphantly. Hes blind in neither eye," said he.
 So the noble horse came into it's rightful owners possession again, and the wicked Arab was punished.
