BUCHANAN AND THE coWBELL.
Incident Of Presidents Early Life
Caused Political Feud.

Rev. DR.. Frederick Cast, professor
emeritus of Hebrew in the Reformed
Theological seminary at Lancaster,
Pa, is one of the very few persons liv-
ing who were intimately acquainted
with President Buchanan, and he has
large stock of stories about the
Pennsylvania that have never ap-
peared in print.
Buchanan was born in sparsely set
tied part of Bedford county, and in his
youth his mother was accustomed to
place around his neck COW bell so
that its tinkling announced his where
abouts whenever he wandered into
the woods surrounding the family
cabin. Neighbors' children, nearly all
of whom were of German parentage,
invariably thereafter called him
"Chimmy NIT de bells on" nick
name which later in life led him into
one of the fiercest political feuds that
ever existed in the Keystone state.
Thaddeus Stevens and Buchanan
were practicing lawyers in Lancaster,
and were intimate friends until one
day, opposed to each other in the trial
of suit, Stevens banteringly referred
to his friend as "Chimmy NIT de
bells on"
Buchanan made no reply in court,
but as soon as the trial was ended
he lured his insulter into an alleyway
and gave him drubbing which Stew.
ems had reason to never forget. There
after the two were implacabe en-
emies.

MORAL VALUE OF THE SWORD.
Weapon Purely Ornamental, But Can
not Be Discarded.

Officers of the German army are to
be ordered TO resume their swords,
discarded after the Boer war. The
fact is of interest as showing recog-
milton by the army authorities Of the
moral value Of weapon now become
purely ornamental. With the enemy's
firing line miles away, the sword has
come TO be regarded as a military toy
merely. One of the minor lessons of
the Japanese war was the demonstra.
tion of its usefulness as a distinguish
ing mark of the officer
To do away with the sword would
be to effect military economy at the
expense OF the spirit of the service, of
kind with the silencing of the drum
In the French army. In the sword lies
half the poetry of war. Where else
on canvas Is martial glory SO vivified
as in Meissonier's 'Friedland," with
the cuirassiers galloping before Ma
poleon, their swords raised on high?
Sober fact makes it true that the
long-range rife no less than the pen is
mightier than the sword States can
be saved without it, and peaceful ma
tions will continue to beat their
swords into nlowshares.

OATS HOUR FOR REVENGE.
Where the Yellow Dog Made the Mis-
take Of His Life.

America freedom Is sweet, and accord
ing to various alleged nature takers
freedom Is as sweet tn a cat as to
a man, writes a Washington CORE
spondent.
Minnie agrees with the nature fax
ers, and as Minnie is cat she should
know. She has had an abundance of
time in which to taste the bitters of
servitude, and could she talk, she
would say that the sweets of freedom
make delightful contrast
For nine long, cruel years Minnie
has been in bondage, but her emanci-
patton proclamation was signed when
the law went into effect to muzzle all
dogs in the streets of Washington.
Minnie's masters-for she had not
one, but many-were cruel, overbear-
ing, and inhuman to an extent that
would have made one Simon Legree,
whose deeds have thrilled melodrama
audiences for half a century, blush
with shame for his lack of knowledge
of the proper and most soul-rending
methods of torture.
During the aforementioned nine
years every dog, or rather every cur
and mongrel, whose habitat is known
as the fish wharf, had used every
method known among lower class ca
mines to make Minnie miserable, and
when it is known these same ours and
mongrels live by their dog wits, there
fore possessing more than ordinary
intelligence, some idea may be gained
Of the extreme way in which Minnie
suffered.
Then came the law whereby every
good-for-nothing or cat-killing dog was
muzzled And with the adoption of
muzzles as caninefashion their teeth
were rendered practically useless, at
least in the pursuit of their hereditary
prey, the feline tribe
Minnie learned this about five sec
onds after she spied the first dog she
had seen wearing muzzle. He was
large yellow dog and vicious, having
In his veins bulldog blood
Seeing Minnie, Spike, the yellow
cur, in accordance with a custom Of
years standing, made rush for the
cat. According to custom Minnie
should have made hole in the atmos-
phere by boiling, leaving little trail
of fire behind her where her rapid
exit burned the air; but Minnie, being
possessed of certain amount of curl
osity, waited, and ran the risk of be-
ing mauled in the desire TO learn about
the funny-looking straps about the
dogs mouth.
Minnie waited The dog came on,
and as he ran toward the cat her back
rose, her tail assumed a perpendicu-
lar position, and grew large, and the
hair on her back and neck stood up
right. She was a picture of fury in
carnate. On came Spike, and as he
rushed Minnie grew more angry.
When the dog was ten feet away
Minnie leaped straight upward, her
paws extended and ready for action.
AS the dog passed beneath Minnie
came down, 20 claws digging into the
hide of the yellow dog. Spikes mo-
mentum carried him some distance,
and before he could stop Minnie had
used her opportunity to the best ad-
vantage. Spike, barking, bowling and
growing at one and the same time, in
creased his speed, but Minnie held on
until far away from the field of bat

dairymen, concerning the sudden an

enormous numbers of small blackish

horn fly is European pest which was
first brought to the notice Of the Uni

1t was his first Sunday school and he
sat in the infants department eagerly
watching the superintendent illustrate
the lesson on the board. The superin.
tendent drew the path to heaven-one
straight line and started the figure
Of man on it. Gradually the man
became larger and larger and finally
when he arrived at the gate of heaven
he could not get in.
The superintendent turned to his
small audience and, in tragical and
sorrowful tone, said: "You see he is
so pulled up with sin that he cannot
enter in"
TRY him sideways, mister, try him
Sideways" came the small shrill voice
from the infants department.

Improving Passures.-Pastures may
be gradually Increased in fertility by
having the stock in them day and
night and feeding some grain. If the
stock is removed at night and re-
ceives no extra feed, the fertility of
the land will be reduced, especially in
phosphorus. Weeds and bushes must
be kept pulled and cut, so all the land
can be given up to the production Of
grass. White clover growing among
the other grasses will help to main.
tain the nitrogen. A little grass seed.
especially blue grass, orchard grass
and white clover, should be sowed
early in spring on the poorest places
in the field.
