first words we heard from Car

AS Carmeps gaze passed from
her brothers face it travelled
~ slowly and with glowing hest
tation over the countenances
Of those near her, on and on past the
fudge, past the jury until they reached
the spot where sat There they
seemed to falter, and the beating of
my heart became so loud that In.
stinctively shrank away from my
neighbor. BY so doing drew her eye.
which fell full upon mine for one over
whelming minute; then she shrank and
looked away, but not before the color
had risen in food to her cheek.
The hope which had sprung to life
Eader her first beautiful aspect van
ished at sight of this flush. for it was
not one of Joy or surprise or even OF
unconscious sympathy. 1t was the
banner of a deep. uncomfortable shame.
But in a few minutes her features
settled into a strange placidity. undis-
turbed by the leveled gaze OF hun
dred eyes. Her whole attention was
concentrated on Ter brother and
wavered only when the duties Of the
occasion demanded recognition OF the
various gentlemen concerned in the
trial.
Mr.. Moflat prefaced his examination
BY the following words:
"May it please your honor, l wish
to ask the indulgence Of the court IN
my examination Of this witness. She
Is just recovering from long and
dangerous illness. and. while I shall
endeavor to keep within the rules OF
examination. I shall be grateful fol
any consideration which may be shown
her by your honor and by the counsel
on the other side"
Mr.. Fox at once rose. He had by
this time recovered from his astonish
ment at seeing before him and In fall
state of health the young girl whom he
had every reason to believe to be still

PRUNING HOOK is HOMEMADE

The pain of scratches and picks
comes readily to ones Imagination as
he thinks of pruning the raspberry
bushes or other bush fruits, especially
where he has not had good tools for
performing the job, says the Michigan
Farmer. The work is so miserable
that it is generally left undone. The
illustrated pruning hook will help to
overcome many of the undesirable fea-
lures connected with cleaning out of
the hills on these fruits. The hook
is Used for cutting those canes that
can be hooked, and for this purpose
the inner edge of the hook Is made
sharp, while the spud is for ampu-
tating such canes as happen to stand
close to another that is to be left or is
otherwise situated that the hook can
not be used The spud cuts the cane
nearer the ground than can be done
with the hook. Both are, however,
very necessary for a complete imple-
ment. Besides its use in cutting, the
hook is convenient in pulling the
pruned canes from among the stand
ing ones into the row where they can
be gathered and taken from the plan

tation. The implement is made
Of the handle of a short-handled fork
and two old files. The files are forged
to make the hook and spud and riv.
eted together as shown in the illus
tration. The end opposite the spud is
shaped to fit into the handle where
it is firmly secured in order to stand
the strain necessary in the work to
be done. Armed with such a tool and
good pair of gloves one can go
about the canes, cut out the undesir-
able ones and get them out of the
way without suffering the hardships
encountered when endeavoring to do
the work with a jack knife The next
rainy day go to your own forge, every
farmer should have one, or If not pro
vided, to your blacksmith and have a
hook made. Then, when the rainy
day is over and you can get into the
berry patch, see how well the hook
does the dreaded Job.

BEST RATTLESMAKE REMEDY
strychnlne Is the Only Positive Anti
dote for a Big Injection OF
the Poison.

Strychnine is probably the only
positive antidote for big injection
of rattlesnake toxin, a bite or rather
stroke such as a four-foot snake
would inflict on the leshy part OF
the body, as the calf or thigh. For
such a bite, carrying as it does half
teaspoonful or more of venom deep
into the flesh, all ordinary cures are
unavailing. Hypodermically injected,
however, in sufficient quantities sure
ly to kill the patient were he not
suffering from the snake poison.
strychnine is a certain counteractant.
The greatest danger is said to be In
administering too little strychnine. AS
a matter of fact but few even OF
skilled physicians have enough knowl-
edge OF the subject to be able to act
with any assurance in administering
strychnine in such cases. That rat
tlesnake poison and Strychnine are
exact opposites has been shown by
experiments in which animals dying
of strychnine inoculations have been
cured by injections Of the snake
venom.-Popular Mechanics.

his father He had little schooling
and early ran away from home, going
to the California gold fields He ac-
companied Walker on the Nicaragua
expedition, lived among the Indians
and Spaniards on the coast of Califor-
mia and became familiar with their
customs. He studied law, being grad
uated from Columbia college, In Ore
gon. in 1858. He practiced unsuccess-
fully in Idaho and turned express
messenger. In 1863 he settled in Ore
gon and became editor of The Eu-
gene City Democratic Register" which
was suppressed in the same year. In
1864 Miller returned to the law and
practiced in Canyon City, Ore. Here
he became popular, owing to his serv-
ices against the warlike Snake In
dians, and from 1866 to 1870 served as
judge in Grant county.
His first important attempts at
writing were made here, and he tried
to sell a collection of his poems un-
der the title Of Songs of the Sierras"
in the east. They did not find a ready
market, and he finally went to Eng
land, where they were published and
created a sensation. 1t was in Lon
don that Miller was recognized, petted,
lionized and even overestimated per-
haps
The poet returned from England
and went to Washington, and finally,
in 1877, to California and settled at
The Heights, where his retreat soon
became the Mecca for literary people.
At times persons with literary or ar
ttstic tendencies, forsWearing the
world for a time, have gone to Mil
ler's home as haven of refuge Here
are buried the bodies of Maud Miller,
the poets daughter, and of his mother
1t has been said that the poet de-
sired to have his own body burned
upon the pile of rough stones that
cover his child's grave, but the truth
of his request is that he be cremated
and the ashes placed upon the pile, !
that the wind may scatter them far
and wide over the land he loved so
