radical that it queered me with the
most powerful capitalists in Augusta,
and I have never regained their IA
vor. Not step further would now
go than is outlined in that speech;
but 1 made it twenty years ahead of
the times, and had to pay the usual
penalty, During my one term in
Congress, I helped them get the
eight-hour law, and the automatic
car-coupler bill, besides leading the
fight to put the "Pinkerton army
out of business.
1t is the true friend of the labor
ing man that will differ from him
when he goes wrong, and when he
tries to hold q position which, in the
nature of things, is untenable. You
need not doubt that whenever my
conscience and my intelligence con-
vince me that the Labor Unions are
right, on any subject whatever, they
can count on my hearty support, as
in the whole of my public career.
60 AS to conditions in the Farm
ers' Union, I will be equally frank.
1t seems to me that Mr. Duckworth
is trying to boss the whole business.
He does not hesitate to brag about
controlling Barrett, Lee and Union
City, generally. He is not man of
much information. or much ability
but his conceit is self-evident, and
his ambition knows no limits. The
kind of speeches that he makes do
not leave favorable impression on
the minds of intelligent people; they
arouse class prejudice. He, and some
of the lecturers who have taken the
cue from him, are trying to SOW dis
cord between the tenant and the
landlord, between the countryman
and the town merchant. This is
having bad effect throughout the

owns the Farmers Union News,

the field at the expense of the farm
ers has been Cat least to some ex-
tent), travelling agent for Duck
worth's paper. That doesn't look
fair and right. It looks as though
Duckworth were scheming to use the
money of the farmers, and the men
who are sent about to organize and
to address the local Unions, for his
personal benefit. If the Union News
were a competitor of the Jeffer-
sOnian, would not say this, for my
motives would be suspected; but you
can see at a glance that the Jeffer-
sOnian is so entirely different from
the Union News that the two do not
compete at all. Such papers as The
Texas Co-operator, the Memphis
News-Scimitar, the Farm and Ranch.
the Southern Cultivator, the Cotton
Journal, these are the same kind
of papers as the Farmers Union
News and, therefore, they are the
competitors Of Duckworth's paper.

The Gorqons.

Euripides as being of peculiarly abhor-

of serpents, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect. vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were of brass. The gaze. of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.
One of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Perseus,
and as he took flight in the air en- route
for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
in his hands, the drops of blood which
fell from it became serpents, which
ever after infested the sands Of Lydia

An Earps Duel With a Butler.

About the middle of the last century
the Lord Rosebery Of that time was in
Paris, and in paying cali one day he
was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend of the
servants conduct. But the butler had
been a noncommissioned officer in the
French army. and as such he chal-
lenged Lord Rosebery to duel. The
earl accepted. and two shots were ex-
changed without result. But Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con-
descension and afraid his antagonist
might lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as a servant. thus
exposing an earl to the reproach OF
having fought with a butler. So he
settled an annuity of $3.50 on the man
on condition he did not return to do
nestle service. The condition was
faithfully observed on both sides,

ENGLISH Lunaaas Lifters.


English railway companies suffer
severely through the purloining Of pas.
sengers' baggage and other articles by
platform thieves. and in some cases 1t
is difficult matter to find out the mis-
creant. One of these luggage lifters
was on an occasion some time ago
seen keeping vigil over a barrow of
luggage. and in his hand he carried
apparently a good sized portmanteau.
He walked up and down the platform
several times and at last stopped OPP
posite the luggage. Placing his bag
on the barrow for a moment. he then
picked ii up and walked off. But the
lynx eye of one Of the railway officials
had also been watching the barrow,
and. going up to the man, had him ar
rested and searched. 1t was found
that his apparent portmanteaU was
only skeleton and inside had set
of springs. etc. which. when placed
over smaller bag. held the latter I'm
position. But for the smartnessi of the
official another travellers bag would
have been missing.-London Answers

overcrowding Chickens.

The great loss each year from over
crowding runs up into thousands Of
dollars. This can easily be remedied
by spending a few cents each for a
number of piano boxes. Two gunny
sack partitions may be put in these
boxes, and each one will accommodate
several hundred small chickens. Fifty
small chicks is the largest number
that can safely be housed together
Most overcrowding is found in brood
ers, and the most common mistake
made is not to consider the rapidity
with which a chick develops and hence
the necessity of more spacious quar-
tiers. The secret is to separate the
them pile up. Overcrowding results in
lack of exercise, food and drink,
which means bowel trouble and other
diseases Lack of pure air weakens
their system; it is betetr to Gull out
half of your flock and raise the re-
mainder in health and vigor than to
overcrowd them and suffer the loss
Of your whole flock. Keep the quar-
tiers clean to rid them of mites and
lice which sap the life out of them
in a short time
Never allow the young stock to be
confined in houses and yards that are
occupied by old birds, as they tramp
and run over them, and thus stunt
their growth. Stunted chickens are
like stunted pigs-no good at all they
may pull through to maturity, but
they can't develop into healthy birds.

Farm Machinery.

In what kind of a shell are your
farm machinery and tools? asks the
Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
farmers have big machine shed with
the sky for a roof. This is roomy
house, but it has the disadvantage of
is not the best thing for wood and
iron.
SO many complain that net profits
of farming are small No wonder
when they are compelled to purchase a
new binder or cultivator nearly every
summer. These machines ought to and
will last for many ears if properly
cared for.
Now is the time, If it has not al
ready been done, to get all tools and
implements carefully stored away IN
dry buildings On rainy days or at
odd times all the wood and iron work
should be coated with oil or axle
grease to prevent rust and decay. This
will not only make them last longer,
but will keep them bright and sound
for immediate and satisfactory use
when they are taken out next spring.
Rusty wheels and bearings will not
run smooth, and the rusty plow is a
veXation when the new season opens
for rush work. A cents worth of oil
and a minutes work now will save an
hours work of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money
to lend make it point to prolong the
life of their farm implements by shell
tering them and keeping them well
oiled and painted. Why not you?

The Feeding of Dogs.

A dog should not be fed on meat
alone under any consideration. Be-
sides making him nuisance it makes
him naturally carnivorous and often
savage. If he is always fed at the
conclusion of certain meal-dinner,
for instance-he will wait patiently
until the prescribed time. 1t Is a
good plan to feed after ones midday
meal, giving plenty of green vegeta-
bles, bread and potatoes, with a very
few scraps of finely cut meat, the
whole well mixed and some gravy
poured over it. If two meals are CIV
en-, one should be at breakfast time
and one in the evening. One should
consist of only little oatmeal and
milk or piece of dry dog biscuit. At
no time should the dog have more
than he will eat, and If he leaves any
thing his allowance should be reduced
or meal omitted.-Journal of Agri-
culture.
