half hitch over his nose, and then
there was another long tussle before
I could approach him.
when at last got within arms

It tasted good, and the wicked eyes

muscles relaxed, and old Bars stood
quietly at ease.
''Then l softly slipped my bride

HI, FEELINGS While Falling.

The Swiss Alpine climber, 81
grist, who once fell from the top of
the Karpfstock, in Switzerland, de-
scribed his sensations while falling
as follows:
s'The plunge, which was taken
backward, was in nowise accompa-
MED by the anxiety such as one has
when one dreams of falling. l
seemed to be borne in the most
pleasant manner gently downward
and had complete consciousness
during the entire fall. Free from
all pain or fear, I contemplated my
position and the future of my fami-
", which l knew was assured by the
insurance I carried. And this con-
temptation was accomplished with
a rapidly which I had never be-
fore known. OF the losing Of my
breath, of which people talk, there
was no suggestion, and only the
heavy fall on to the snow covered
ground caused me to lose suddenly
and painlessly all consciousness.
The brusing Of my head and limbs
on the rocks as I fell caused me no
pain. In fact, I did not feel it. /
cannot conceive Of an easier, pleas
anter death. The reawakening,
however, brought with It entirely
different and far less agreeable SEN
sations."

WILSON LAUDs THE SOUTH
Believes Scientific Methods Viii
Treble Cotton Yield.

Washington.-"Go South, young man.
would be substituted by the department
of agriculture for Horace Greeley's go
West, young man." were Secretary Will
son not afraid the changed admonish-
ment might be construed as smacking
too strongly of an attempt on the part
of a branch of the government itself to
a claim of sectional advantages. While
the secretary would not give an official
o. X. to the substitution, Secretary Will
son is confident that the Southern farm
er can double and treble his cotton acre
age by pursuing scientific methods.
His first advice is for the Southern
farmer to eradicate the cattle tick,
through the success of which he will be
able to raise more cattle. To accomplish
this end he. advises the cotton farmers
to keep their cotton seed meal, feed it
to their cattle, as cheap feed on which
cattle thrive. The South, he says, is
remarkably well adapted to cattle rails
ing, which can be made a profitable in
dustry by utilizing the meal from the
cotton seed for feed.
