The Travail of Crouch,

Thet tn hull of his crops goin' t.

An eff she don't rain, it's quite easy
She'll all shrivel firm bein' too hot.
She burns eff it's dry an she rots eff

Till it's jest one continual fight,
An they amt any weather they've

Thet ever jest suited him quite.
or Crouch is afeard eff we have a wet
spring
Thet he can't git his seed in tn
field;
An if she's too dry it won't sprout
anything,
An he wno't git no average yield.
Ef' tn fall sh'd turn wet grain'll rot
in tn stack,
Er mildew, or else purity near;
An ef tn falls dry then his chances
Is slack
Fer getitn' a big crop next year.
or Crouch says when weather is good
fer tn corn
Thet It's knockin' tn tar outen

An he says thet no feller was ever
yet born
Who's got this mixed farmin game

Eff he's got big crop, then tn mar

An all Of tn prices has fell,
An when things are soarin' clear up

Why, he amt got nothin' t. sell.
Gr Crouch says it ain't his real ma
tur' t scold,
He's nachelly peart as snipe;
But when tn hull summers onusual

How's anything goin' t git ripe?
An ef it turns hot, like some SUM-

with wind like a blast furnace

How's any green thing goin' to wea-
ther it through
Without bein' blistered t death?
or Crouch says sometimes he Is

But jest when thet notion gifts fixed

Secretary Wilson to Resign ?

Washington. Nov. 5.-President
Taft met his cabinet to-day for the
first time in three months. Secretary
Stimson was the only member alb
sent. The head Of the war depart
ment is in Kansas City, Mo-, where
to-day he made an address on the
Panama Canal.
The reassembling OF the Presidents
official family gave recurrence to the
rumors that Secretary Wilson is soon
to resign.
This Is generally believed to be
true and in official circles it is stated
that the secretary OF agriculture Is
only delaying announcement Of his
resignation until President Taft de-
cides upon another man for this
place. 1T is said the portfolio has
been offered to at least two men
prominent in scientific agricultural
work, who declined it.
To-day's meeting was largely de-
voted to consideration OF the Prcsi-
dents message to Congress and Off

Eight Million Russians Need Immedi.
ate Assistance to Get Food.

st. Petersburg, Russia, Nov. 16.-
Eight million persons are in need Of
immediate relief owing to the fail
ure of the crops in twenty Russian
provinces. This startling announce
ment was made in the Duma last
evening by Premier Kokivzoff, in re-
ply to interpretations concerning re-
ports that famine threatened wide
area
The premier explained that the
crops had failed completely in twenty
provinces and partially in eight 9TH
ers. or the 12,5O0,00O inhabitants
of the affected territory, 100000
were in immediate need OF relief.
The necessary measures would re-
quire, the premier said, the expendi-
ture Of $50, 900, Of which amount
the imperial exchequer would have
to find $44,O0O,O00. Half of the to-
tai was necessary at once to defray
the cost Of supplies already dis
patched.
NJ. Kokivzoff added that actual
famine conditions were not wide
spread, but the sanitary situation was
cause Of great anxiety.

HAS A SHERMAN ARMY BRIDLE.
j. j. Sease Has Been Using Blind
Birdie For,y.Six Years.
(NeWberry ObserYer.l

J. j. Sease, Of Newberry county,
r. f. D. 3, has blind bride that
was picked up by him and his father,
D. e. Sease, at "Hayden's Camp"
on Stoudemire Hill, near Peak, in the
early spring Of 1865-left there by a
detachment of Sherman's army. This
bride has been In use ever since that
day; 1t was on one of Mr.. Sease's
mules In town on Saturday, and is a
good bride yet. OF course it has had
new bits and has been otherwise re-
paired, but the blinds and other parts
are the same as in 1866.
Mr.. Sease also has riding bride
that was made by his father in 1865.
His father tanned the leather and
made the bit-a light curb bit OF
spring steel. This Is good bride
yet. He also has pair of breechings
that were made three years after the
war by Mr.. Hammond, Of Columbia,
out Of leather tanned by Mr.. Sease's
father. They are in good condition
and are in constant use; they were
on two Of Mr.. Sease's mules in town
on Saturday.
One reason why these things have
lasted so long is that they were we'll
made, out Of good material. Another
reason is that they have been well
cared for.

THE ALLIGATOR IN CAPTIVITY
When Lazy Joe" Woke Up He Look.
cd Like Chain Lightning.
New York Times

NEW York Times.)
Joe, a 10-foot alligator, was added
to the collection at the Bronx Zoo,
and his entry into society in the rep
tile house was a rather strenuous af-
fair. Joe comes from Florida.
Joe arrived IN long, strong
wooden box ct an express office in
Fordham. Two ment went TO the
express office and took the box to
the zoo, depositing it just outside the
reptile house, where Head Keeper
Billy Snyder and six men armed with
short poles were waiting his coming.
One end Of the crate was broken
open, and Joe pushed his 10 feet of
length through the opening. He
blinked in the strong light and yawn-
ed lazily as he took his first look
about his new home.
"He's friendly looking crltter,"
said Snyder, as he dropped one end
of moose about the alligator's long
Jaws. In an instant lazy Joe came
to life Snap went his Jaws, the
moose was caught, and the line jerk
ed from Snyder's hands. In q second
Joe was 10 feet of chained lightning.
Not one Of the men seemed surprised.
They only stood their ground. Only
the husky looking walrus, which had
been pressing against the bars of its
inclosure a few feet away, grunted
with surprise and moved back.
''Well, he's healthy, anyway" said
Keeper Snyder.
Again Snyder threw his moose, and
this time the rope oncircled the alli-
gators Jaws. He quickly drew it
tight. Joe did not like it. He ex-
pressed his resentment by shaking
his head and tail. His tail struck a
pole held by one of the men, and 1t
hurtled through the air, landing on
the lawn 20 feet away
The alligator, flirting tail and head,
moved forward. The men moved
with 1t, and by series of deft prod
ding steered it in the direction Of the
door Of the reptile house. Joe kept
to the course, though a dent on the
doorway Is evidence of his anger. 1t
tok the combined skill and diplo-
macy of all to get the big reptile to
head to the right toward its home

Look out" said Snyder, as Joe
turned In a circle, his tail going like
fail. One man saved himself by q
quick jump. They had handled worse
than Joe too long to be afraid. They
were all interested in what Joe was
going to do next. Slowly they head
ed the alligator toward his quarters
Near the entrance he lashed out with
his head and struck the partition.
wall, tearing hole through the lath
and plaster. This was his final pro-
test.
The work Of getting the rope off
his jaws was a task which required
the skill Of Keeper Snyder. The rope
was passed over an upright, and,
keeping out of the way Of the sweep
ing tail. he pulled its head up so that
the fore part OF the body was lifted
from the ground With a sharp knife
he severed the lashing and jumped
back in time to miss the tail.
