HE sILENcED THE TEMPTER
Threat Must Have Cost the Former
Miser Suffering, but He Rose
to the Occasion.

"lf you find yourself getting close
fsted," remarked Pennsylvania con-
gresham, 'it is time to begin to emu
late the example of a wealthy old
farmer in my state. He was noted for
years as an old miser, but was con-
verted during protracted meeting.
Shortly afterward poor man who had
been burned out and had rothing for
his family TO eat, came to him for help.
The farmer thought he would be liberal
and give the man ham from his
smokehouse. On his way to get 1t the
temp,er whispered to him: ..i sniG
"'Give him. the smallest one you
haye' F-..... i..'s a.s .a.s'...-'.
'IIe had struggle with himself as
TO whether he should give him large
or small ham, hut finally he took
down the largest one he could find.
"'You are a fool the tempter whis;
pered TO Kim. ,- .,....- -..4
"'If you don't keep your darned mouth
shut the farmer, snarled. al. him.. Il
will give, him every ham !, have in the
smokehouse.' National Republican.

CONTINUE TO CLAIM TRACT
Anneke JAMS Heirs Still Confident
They Are Entitled to Trinity
s. Il, Church Property.

Though the New York State Court
OF Appeals outlawed the Anneke JAMS
heirs claim to the Trinity church
tract in New York city as long ago as
1856, and again in 1881, the claim still
persists in the minds of some Of Mrs.
Jams thousands of descendants.
The various lltigations attacking the
Trinity church title were all based on
technical Irregularities in grants Of
conveyances, such as the absence of
seal or signature, or on allegations
that the grantors themselves had no
title. The defense has been adverse
possession and the statute of limita-
tion.
The streets laid out by Trinity
Church corporation in the Jams tract
were named after leading men in the
church--Vesey, after Rev. William
Vesey, the rector; Barclay, after Rev.
Mr.. Barclay, who succeeded Vesey as
rector; Murray, after distinguished
lawyer and officer of the church; War
ren, after Sir Peter Warren, command
er of the British naval forces at the
station, who married Miss Delaney
OF New York city; Chambers, after
John Chambers, lawyer, born in New
York city, and leader In civil and
church affairs.

SAM HOUSTON TWICE MARRIED
Fills First Venture Unfortunate, but
His Second Had Good Effect
~ on His Life.

$ Long after Gen. Sam Houston's
death, the mystery Of his separation
from his first wife was solved by
means of some private letters which
fell into the hands of his heirs. His
first wife, Eliza Allen, a Nashville
belle, before she met Houston had been
engaged to Tennesseean, named Doug
lass. Houston was governor of Ten
nessee when he fell iii love with Miss
Allen. Her ambitious parents caused
her to break with Douglass and accept
the famous young governor. Still low
ing Douglass, she was married to
Houston. Three months later Houston
had discovered, somehow, that his
alteration was lavished on woman
who had been sold to him by her par
ents and who cared for auother man.
Houston, heartbroken, behaved il he
rcic fashion, He gave up ever thing,
left his home and high Office, took him
self wholly out of his wife's life, and
bore without contradiction the vile ru-
mors that were circulated about him.
Mrs. Houston, after her husband had
wrecked his career for her sake, OBJ
tanned divorce on the ground of abnn-
donment and was married to Douglass.
After leaving his wife, Houston re-
signed the governorship and went
among the Indians. Three years later
he threw his lot with the Texans. I'm
der his leadership the Mexicans were
defeated and Texas was established as
Il republic. Houston was not content; ;
he caused the annexation of Texas to
the United States. In April, 1880, his
wife having obtained divorce, he
married Margaret Moffette of Ala
hama, who exercised an ennobling and
restraining force over him.

vAccINATiNe LITTLE PIGS
Ticket Agent.

In minimizing against hog cholera
II has been assumed that suckling
pigs were generally immune and that
the time TO vaccinate was immediat
ely after weaving. That sucking
pigs do possess a considerable degree
of immunity no one will deny, but
occasionally the losses are so heavy
that the question of treating suck
lings has been receiving serious con.
eideration. The simultaneous treat,
ment OF sucking pigs is attended
with considerable loss and does not
provide a lasting immunity in all
cases. To overcome these difficulties
DR.. r. II. Birch recommends serum
alone to protect the pigs mntil they
are twelve weeks cid, at which time
they may be weaned and given the
double treatment. This method will
provide for, the smallest possible loss
and at the same time viii insure the
highest degree OF lasting immunity.
