EXPLAINED PRESENCE OF SHOT.
Leaden Pellets Had Been Intended for
Uncle Ephriam.

Polk Miller of Richmond blew into
the editorial office of the Almanack
like a fresh breeze from the south a
few days ago and vas promptly asked,
of course, for the latest darby story in
Virginia. He said it was about substi-
tuting a wild turkey for a tame tur-
key. One of his friends bought a tur-
key from old Uncle Ephraim and
asked him, in making the purchase, if
it was a tame turkey.
20, yais, sir, it's a tame turkey oil
right"
Now, Ephraim, are you sure it's a,
tame turkey?"
20, yais, sir, dere's no so't O. doubt
bout dat. It's a tame turkey oil right"
He consequently bou IT the turkey,
and a day or two later when eating 1t
he came across several shot. Later
on when he met old Ephraim on the
street he said: well, Ephraim, you
told me hat was a tame turkey, but l
found some shot in it when / was eat
ing it."

joinder, but de fac is, boss, Ise gwine

The Argument Of Gold.

A man who is furnished with argu-
ments from the mint will convince his
antagonist much sooner than n who
draws them from reason and philOso-
ply. Gold Is a wonderful clearer of
the understanding; 1t dissipates every
doubt and scruple In an instant; ac-
commodities itself to the eanes ca
pacities; silences the loud and clamor-
GUS. and brings over the most OBJ
stinate and ~infiexible.
Philip Of Macedon was a man Of
most invincible reason this way. He
refuted by it all the wisdom of Athens,
COMPOUNDED their statesmen, struck
their orators dumb. and at length
argued them out of all their liberties.

How to Help Our Friends.

We often attempt to regulate the
lives of our friends through imposing
Il W wills upon them. This we do
under the impression hat our con-
ception of truth is superior to theirs,
and that We e more clearly than
they do. This is really but a form Of
selfshness, and binds all who indulge
in it, both the strong and the weak.
OF course there is a point where a
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive of good. But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation of his spirit
and understanding, then that desire
becomes a selfish one. For you can
not force a knowledge of truth upon
anyone. Only love and patience and
living the truth yourself can bring 1t
to the consciousness of your ffiends.-

Sincerity Gives Power.

much to ones power as the conscious
ness OF being absolutely sincere, genu-
me. II your life is a perpetual lie. II
Won are conscious that you are not
what you pretend TO be, you cannot be
strong. There is a restraint, . per-
petual fighting against the truth going
on within you, a struggle which saps
your energy, and warps your conduct.

the genuine and the true are worth
while.

minutes. Shake this sack over the

fall upon the cabbage leaves. This
Is best done early in the morning or
In the evening when there is a little
moisture upon the leaves to cause the
powder to stick where II falls. A very
light dusting is all that is necessary
to distribute enough Of the poison to
kill the worms that feed upon the
leaves. This poison should not be
used later than ten days to two weeks
before the time that the cabbages are
to be gathered.
there will not be poison enough de-
posted upon the edible part OF the
cabbage head to do any harm. In
fact. all these outer leaves are re-
moved before the cabbages are cooked
for food. II Is also true that the
leaves that form the outer part Of the
cabbage head one day will spread
and become loose outer leaves q few
days later. So. II the poison 10 not
applied very near to the time that the
cabbages are to be gathered, there will
be no poison whatever upon the edi-
BILE parts. For best results the first
application should be made as soon
as the heads begin to form. Then one
or two applications later would be all
that Is necessary.
In large fields it might be better
to use the Paris green in the form of

there was a nasty dropping in my

ton all Canon City people who were

ernor Deneen and several state Off
cials were present on this occasion.
1t is said that chowder is dish
that no one has been known to dis
like
