1T WAS A FINE FIGHT

The present financial and domestic troubles of
old Gen. Dan Sckles will freshen in the minds of our
older readers a sensation that shook country
cially nothing else ever did, perhaps the
Beecher-Tito matter
Gen. Sickles first wife the daughter of an
Italian musician, and he plunged her into Washing
ton society early in the period of the Civil There
they met Philip Barton Key. Suddenly, the country
was startled by the news that Sicbles had shot Key
dead because of his relations with Mrs Sckles, the
latter having confessed The tragedy itself ran its
course sensation, but what set the country going
the question as to whether SicSles should have
taken her back to his bosom after he given his
liberty. Ministers preached at it. Lawyers shook
their fists in each others faces about it. Farmers
sitting the top rail of fences got to going it
and got down into the field to settle it with their fists
and what editors called each other about it really
unfit for publication Everybody fit and fit.
1t was fight for an unlimited number of
rounds with no decision, the prize-rng folks
would announce it.
And Gen. Sickles family say that he has
had an affinity of his for much of 81 years
past! STILL that issue of the early COS to be
just as good battle-ground as ever Most any society,"
or family, or couple can get up fight it, just as
easily as the whole country did, hal-century or so
ago.

RICHLY DESERVED REWARD

NONE CAN BEGRUDGE the farmers of this
country their good fortune in the bountifu crops OF
this year. They richly deserve all the reward that
comes to them.
However much of the profits of many other lines
of production may be due to unfair manipulation, the
farmer creates his values through his toll, and in
ating them enriches ALL
The prosperous, middle aged farmer of today,
facing his declining year in comfort and plenty, may
be envied by the wage-workers of the cities.
But let not forget that the now prosperous
farmer has bought his present condition at cost of
ceaseless toll and tireless energy, of almost incon-
cevable selfdenial and sacrifice of disappontments
and discouragements that only the ttest could sur
vive
If any life in this country has been harder than
that of the farmer it is that of his wife. She gener
ally without help and with little to do with, cooks the
meals does the family washing and the sewing milks
the COWS, raises the chickens, makes the soap and
apple butter and ba1es the bread and pies brings up
generous brood of healthy children, and often finds
lime in the harvest seasons to help her husband in
The fields.
The lives of these men and women have been the
most extraordinary and most fruitful in all history.
1t is the farmers that have converted vast domain
from wilderness into rich fields and made possible
the fourishing cities.
Richly have they earned all the good that comes
to them. For they have enriched not themselves
alone, but the nation.
Agriculture ever has been and ever will be the
backbone of all business in this country.

football games, and openly talk
ing civil war not only against
England but against each other.
This situation Is due to as
nasty a trick as was ever played
by a big interests politician.
And here comes in the nasty
trick.
Bonar Law and Sir Edward
Carson, members of parliament
for the same reason that Cannon
and Aldrich were members of the
congress of the United States
came here to Belfast and made
speeches.
For many years the religious
question between the Catholics
and Orangemen of Ireland has
been practically dead. But these
two representatives of the big in
terests of England deliberately
stirred the fires of religious pas
sion in Belfast and Ulster county,

"You don't want home rule"
they said In effect to the work
men of Belfast. "If Lord George
gives home rule to Ireland, Ire
land will have a Catholic parIia-
ment at Dublin and Catholics will
rule over you"
There was some mutterings,
but Ulster men as a rule didn't
get very much excited. But soon
the big interest newspapers in
Ireland and in England took up
the cry.
AT last the Ulstermen lost their
senses.
1--WE don't want home rule"
they began to cry. They turned
against Lloyd George, the man
who had given to the working
people Of the United Kingdom the
great insurance act.

'It would be an interesting ex-

Kessler swallowed the sweetish
mixture and settled back.
Good night, Kessler," said the
doctor. Don't do anything
foolish"

Kessler wired this:
| Chicago, Nov. II.
Mrs. Sam H. Kessler, Westville:
Your husband killed in colli-
sion on P. & N. this morning.
Body consumed in flames.
SNYDER, Gen. Supt."
After that he visited second
hand theatrical effects shop and
selected the battered derby, the
black side whiskers and the long
tailed. worn green coat of Jew
ish peddler. Then he took the
afternoon train for Westville.
At the station he noticed stacks
of floral emblems on the platform,
having come down on the express
with him. 1t was generous dis
play, and Kessler gulped little.
He passed up Main-st by the little
green cottage he called home.
There was crepe on the door.
Neighbors were passing In and
out. Don, the collie, howled dole
fully. Resisting the impulse to
rush over and unmask, Kessler
made his way to the Busy Bee
grocery. 1t was the forum of
opinion. Gale Duncan, his life
long antagonist, was speaking:
Sam Kessler was good fell
low. / fought him lots, but I'll
say he was a good fellow"
Kessler gulped in surprise, his
heart going out to his old enemy.

But that organ almost stopped as
his old pal, Bill Gentry, spoke:
"Sam was awfully careless
about his obligations, though. I
think he left debts"
HE owed me $780," declared the
Busy Bee proprietor. Kessler
barely restrained himself from
rising and paying the account.
/ "They say that Al Henson is
sprucing up already" remarked
Ham Quiggins. Kessler felt a
great pain at hts heart. for AL
Henson had been his rival in WOO
ing days.
"Well, Lydia's worth going aft
err" remarked the grocer. Sam
left $4,000 assurance" Kessler
almost ceased to breathe. He had
not realized the great crime
against the insurance companies.
A boy came in with the West
vile Gazette, and Kessler read his
own obituary over the shoulders
of the others. "a noble character.
A splendid citizen. :.
An upright parent. :" There
were tears in his eyes as he read.
Chats a fine piece, all right"
exclaimed Toll Perkins, rushing in.
"but they didn't know what I
know. Frank Carson, over at the
Exchange bank, says Sam Kessler
had run away with hundred
thousand dollars of the banks
money when he was killed."
Kessler's heart almost burst. He
had always mistrusted Carson.
Now he knew that the assistant
cashier had looted the bank and
taken advantage of Kessler's re-
ported death to cover the crime.
Kessler arose. He would cry out.
Was everything going wrong?
Why
When Kessler reused from the
deep sleep into which the pinkish
powder had sent him, the doctor
stood regarding him with grim
amusement. Hello, Kessler," he
called. Had a bad dream?"
Kessler shivered. "You bet.
Doc. And say-that foolishness
The doctor nodded. Eyes

payment that gives to the fig gatherers the
right to all the fruit. beginning with the figs
and ending with the last cluster OF grapes.
Rude huts thatcheG with straw are built by
the proprietor of all his orchards and In these
the gypsylike harvesters live with their fam
ilies. Sometimes they supplement their mar
row quarters with a ragged tent. Three eticks
placed crosswise and kettle In the crotch con-
stitute the kitchen.
Shortly after their arrival the work OF
forcing the fruit is begun. The methods
employed are curious. In one wad of cot
ton Is dipped in olive oil and gently rubbed
on the flower end Of the fg. Fig by fg is
thus treated. and In eight days the fruit IL
ready for the market.
Another method consists in gathering in the
spring the half formed fruit. which is strung
on ropes These ropes gariands are
thrown over the branches OF the tree and are
allowed to decay under the burning sun There
is born OF this decay insect that pierces
the growing ng and induces rapid ma
turity.
The fig. when perfectly ripe, exudes a drop

never falls but hangs there, standing tempta-
