IN DAYS OF RoBBER BARoNS George EIIIots Picture of Life When They Inhabited the caStles of
 the Rhln0.

Those ruins on the castled Rhine have crumbled and mellowed into such harmony with the green and rocky steeps that they seem to have a natural fitness, like the mountain pine; nay, even in the day when they were built, they must have had this fitness, as if they had been raised by an earth-born race who had inherited from their mighty parent Q sublime instinct of form. And that was Q day of romancei
 If those robber barons were some what grim and drunken ogres, they had 8 certain grandeur of the wild beast in them-they were forest boars with tusks, tearing and rending, not the ordinary domestic grunter; they represented the demon forces forever in collision with beauty, virtue and the gentle uses of life; they made a fine contract in the picture with the wandering minstrel, the soft-lipped princess, the pious recluse and the timid IsraeIits.
 That was Q time of color, when the sunlight fell on giancing steel and floating banners; a time of adventure and fierce struggle-nay, of living re- ngious art and religious enthusiasm; !; for were not cathedraIs built in those days and did not great emperors leave their western palaces to die before the infidel strongholds in the east! Therefore 1t is that these Rhine cas- ties thrill me with a sense of poetry; they belong to the grand historic life of humanity and raise up for me the vision of an epoch. But these dead tinted, hollow-eyed, angular skeletons of villages on the Rhine oppress me with the feeling that human life very much of m-1s a narrow, ugly, groveling existence which even calam- ity does not elevate, but rather tends to exhibit in all its bare vulgarity Of conception; and have a cruel con viction that the lives these ruins are the traces of were part of a gross sum of obscure vitality that will be swept into the same oblivion with the generations of ants and beaVers.- George Elliot in The NH on the Eloaa."

Fruit growers and fertilizers useful in producing profitable fruit crops. Barnyard manure is good; so are com mercial fertilizers when properly used.

Our horse meat had spoiled and We could
not eat it,
about noon we heard the trampling of
horses hoofs and peeping over the rim
of our buffalo wallow we saw band of
so Injun warriors heading straight for
us. We got our revolvers ready and the
Injuns kept riding on. l said to my

But to get back to my story: right
at the beginning of the fight General
Forsyth got bullet in the thigh, and
u little later. another bullet shattered
the bone of his left leg between the
knee and the ankle.

him senseless for a minute. Doctor
Mooers, our surgeon, was in the pit
with Forsyth and he was killed by a
bullet in the exact center of his fore
head. &I
About this time we saw the Tn
juns all moving down stream toward a
gorge that hid them from sight and
we made up our minds that they were
going to form there and make a unit
ed charge upon us. The word went
around our circle TO get ready for
them. Each Spencer rifle was. charg-
ed with six shots in the magazine
and one in the barrel The guns OF
the dead and MORALLY wounded were
also loaded and laid close at hand
and each of us got his revolver ready
and the word was passed not to at

Forsyth gave the word of command

the dead body of Doctor Meoers in the

standing that way we poured in a
vofley from our Spencer rifles. This
drove the band back, and Forsyth or .
dered us to get upon the island. Be-
fore we could mount and wade across
the narrow stream the whole band Of
Indians charged us. They came on
