The First Public Trial.

Lexington, Va, Feb. 15.-The
first public trial OF the Mccormick
reaper was made near Lexington in
1898, and was witnessed by a num-
Der of residents OF the commun. ty.
"A report of this trial and descrip-
ton of the operation OF the reaper
was published IN the Lexington Ga
zette in its issue of September IA,
1888. The following introduction
was by the editor of the paper, Mr..
Charles lR. Dormant:
We have omitted until now to
furnish our agricultural friends
with an account of a machine for
cutting grain, invented by one OF
our ingenius and respectable coun-
tymen Mr.. Cyrus H. Mccormick,
and which we witnessed operating in
a field Of gram during the last har-
vest, in the nelghb orhood of this
place. A large crowd OF citizens
were pre1e at the trial Of It, and
although the machine Git being the
hrsD was not as perfectly made as
the plan Is susceptible of, yet we
believe it gave general satisfaction. :"
Following is a description of the
con -truction and operation OF the
machine in the same paper over
the signature Of Mr.. Cyrus II. Me-
Cormick himself, the inventor.
This machine IS so constructed
as to leave long or short stubble,
to operate alike well on tall or short
grain. 1t Is drawn by one horse,
walking by the side of the grain in
shafts-just behind is a wheel about
two feet and three inches in diam
eter, which runs on the ground, by
which the machine isNoperated, hav-
ing a cog wheel with 40 cogs screw
ed to it. There Is a small wheel
with nine cogs) wording in that.

a small crank, behind the wheels,
and from this crank the knife re-
ceives a vibratory motions. 1t is
about 4 IL feet long, with an edge
somewhat like that of sickle (hav-
ing teeth, straight and projecting
into the grain at right angles to the
horse. Behind the knife IS an apr IN
five or six feet long, Of thin plank;
and this frame connects with and
IS made fast to the frame which
supports the main wheel, having a
Tide, or small wheel under It to
support It, gay about five feet from

ROOSEVELT To THE END

Fighting mp things generally, using
the big stick, lecturing Congress, re-
moving the heads OF fleets and doing
things-as ifhe had years rather than
days to administer the affairs 81 this
great republic. II Taft does not
look carefully ahead Roosevelt will
leave little for him to do In the fret
month or even year OF his admin
istration. Roosevelt cannot and
will NOS be downed. He will make
himself seen, felt and heard from. Ii
is q pity that this spectacular figure

President Roosevelt, We have under
stood, has had some sighting or dis
paraging remark to make about al
most every prominent man
and public official whom ths Ameri-
can people had learned TO reverence
and admire as not only men OF great
learning and ability, but as the very
builders OF this republic. he did not
even hesitate to take a crack at
George Washington, whom the peo-
pie have affectionstely denominsted
as the Father OF His Country. At
the time Mr.. Roosevelt Invested him
sell OF all this criticism OF others, who
had been, heretofore. regarded asex-
ceptionally able men, Mr.. Roosevelt
was In the very zenith OF his popu
larity, and he even appeared TO them
that no adverse criticism could ever
come his way except from his politi-
cal enemies. His second term as
President is now about to close, and
IL Is doubtful II any man ever leit the
White House amid such a storm OF
criticism as he. 1t is reported in q
dispatch from Washington that Mr..
Roosevelt gathered a number OF
newspaper correspondents about
him, and calling attention TO the
similarity between himself and Wash
ington. In shat he too had been criti-
cised as he laid down the burden OF
his official career, at least by one
paper, a Philadelphia production.
which said Of him: Lord, lettest
now thy servant depart in peace,
for mine eyes have seen thy saliva
uon." Mr.. Roosevelt, no doubts, sees
that the time has come for reitera-
ton OF this solemn ejaculation, and
Is glad 30 place himself In company
with one whom he has seen fit In
times past to criticise, but whom the
people have always honored.
