THE RICHMO EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS. That "Jim Crow" Car Law.—White Folk's Kicking.—A Warm Passenger.—A Break-down on the We left Richmond last Monday at 12:30 P.M. via the Southern Railway. The colored people were provided with an entire coach, similar in every particular to the one provided for white people. It was well filled, but there were vacant seats here and there. A CROWDED COACH. The white coach was rammed, jammed and packed and finally two disgusted white men made their way into the colored coach and took seats with the coach, who says, "There now!" after she has done something that she was asked to not do. THE CONDUCTOR THOUGHTFUL In the meantime, the conductor had arranged to enlargen the traveling capacity for the white passengers by placing them in the smoking compartment of the colored coach. He approached an aristocratic business looking white man and told him that he could not remain in the colored coach. WHITE PASSENGER WRATHY The white man gave a rather sharp reply, evidently declaring his intention of remaining where he was. The conductor spoke rather sharply, but no less emphatically that he could not remain in that car. A moment later his voice was heard from the smoking compartment of the colored coach, announcing that he had a seat for him to occupy. The white man was holding assissty by the porter with his luggage, having to seat his at the place designated while another white man who had previously escaped our notice arose and did likewise. COLORED FOLKS THINKING All of the colored passengers were amused although giving no onward signs of their satisfaction. It was a clear case of where the tables were turned and a practical demonstration of the ridiculous features of the "Jim Crow" Car Law in this state to which the railroads were made to yield by the popular clamor of the Negro-haters and politicians. MINISTERS HOMEWARD BOUND There were several ministers on board the train en-route home from the annual conference of the C. M. E. Church, Among these were Rev. W. E. Farmer, who has been transferred to the South Carolina Conference and will no doubt be located at Greenville, and the young Rev. F. L. Bowie who will no doubt be located in the neighborhood of Lyucenburg. MANY CHICKEN-EATERS ABOARD The train appeared to be on time, but there was a long wait at Burkeville during which time the ministers and the "masters" attacked the supply of chicken being handled by local vendors, buying them out at even 25 cents per lunch. "The engine has broken down" was the lactic announcement. There was nothing to get done, but for the passengers to get out to see it fixed and to get in the way of those who were repairing it. A way to avoid it was under the engine leading in the temporary repair work, while the white engineer was giving directions. A. DISABLED ENGINE. The left hand side steam chest was "cut out" so to speak by the disengagement of the piston rod. This gave the passenger just half an engine, which would run all right remarked a gentleman, provided it never stopped on the centre. We were within 40 minutes run of our destination—Keysville and the conductor wanted to know whether we were the Jonah that caused the mishap. There was nothing to do but to charge it up to the Methodist preachers. He laughed and went his way, doing what the rest of us were doing—gazing at the other fellows doing the work. ANOTHER TRAIN "ROBBED" A short while afterward a work train which was running extra was seen approaching. It was only the work of a few moments to "rob" that train of its engine, which took the place of the disabled one. The engineers swapped places and we were soon well on our way to Keeville. A CONVIVIAL COLORED PASSENGER At Meherrin, every one on the station platform seemed to be laughing at a colored man who was running like a motherless turkey, in an effort to reach the train in time. He had a guitar in a case, and just before he reached the train a bottle of liquor dropped from the hipp pocket of his capacious breeches. Train or no train he stopped to pick it up, while even the train crew laughed. He found a seat and pleaded with the cooperator to give him time to blow for he didn't know whether he had lost his ticks or not, having straightened the matter out with the cooperator, he proceeded to celebrate and then emptied half the coattails of that bottle while his increasing activity and desire to open all of the windows in the passenger coach brought forth repeated protests from the patient porter. THE STOP AT KEYSVILLE. He was relieved of further worry when this same passenger left the train at Keysville. We took the branch line for Chase House ourselves at this point and in a short time were greeted by many Knights, among whom Chancelor Cammande. W. E. Davis, Sirs, T. F. Gee, W. E. Oliver and many other members of Sons of Liberty Lodge, Knights of Pythias. MR. GEE'S RNTERPRISE We were conducted to the residence of Mr. T. F. Gee. He has a most attractive restaurant, which may be well designated the hotel for this thriving town. His madame prepared dinner and we ate heartily. After taking a nap we repaired to the hall where eight candidates were brought to see the beauties of Pythianism. Mr. W. E. Davis store had been robbed the week before. He lost about $35 worth of groceries. We left Chase City that night for Keysville, at about 11:30 reaching our destination of 17 miles at 1:10 o'clock. THE ARRIVAL AT DANVILLE It was 2:15 A. M. before the train for Danville arrived and we were then soon on our way to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Hollbrook, arriving there about 5 o'clock. They made us welcome and in a few moments in their room we will leave for the picturesque and mountainous town of Martinsville, Va. The "Planet" Identified Him. Rev. A. G. London, who is a subscriber to the PLANET died suddenly at the setting basin above Richmond, Tuesday lst inst. The only way that the men there knew where to send his body was from the fact that he had a copy of the PLANET in his pocket with his address thereon. His wife was deeply impressed by this and sadly declared her intention of keeping her name on our subscription his'. Personals and Briefs —We will furnish "Uncle Tom's Cabin" prepaid, handsomely printed and bound in cloth and gold for $2.00. To any one sending us five yearly subscribers, it will be sent free. —Have you paid your subscription?

The Christmas "Delineator" The December "Delmeator," with its message of good cheer and helpfulness, will be welcomed in every home. The fashion pages are unusually attractive, illustrating and describing the very latest modes in a way to make their construction during the busy festive season a pleasure instead of a task, and the literary and pictorial features are of rare excellence. A selection of love songs from the Wagner operas, rendered into English by Richard de Gallienne and beautifully illustrated in colors by J. C. Leyendecker, occupies a prominent place and a chapter in the Composer's Series, relating the romance of Wagner and Cosima, is an interesting supplement to the Lyrics. A very clever paper entitled "The Court Circles of the Republic," describes some unique phases of Washington social life is from an unnamed contributor, who is said to write from the Inner circles of society. There are short stories from the pen of F. Hopkinson, the Grant, Alcee Brown, Mary Stewart Cunningham, E. Ellis, hott Peake, and such interesting writers as Julia Magruder, L. Frank Baum, and Grace MacGowan Cook hold the attention of the children. Many Christmas suggestions are given in needle work and the cookery pages are redolent of the Christmas feast. In addition, there are the regular departments of the magazine, with many special articles on topics relating to women interests within and without the home. Died Suddenly.

Broad St. THE STORM AT WILKESBARRE Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 15—A blizzard struck the Wyoming valley on Sunday, which was the seerest experienced since 1886. The snow was wet and heavy and clung to the telegraph, telephone and electric light wires, and many of the wires succumbed to the weight on them and were broken. The result was a complete suspension of telegraph and telephone service. The wires of the electric light company were also down in many places, and traffic had to be suspended the greater part of Sunday night. Four horses were killed by treading on live electric light wires and two repairmen were badly shocked. Many narrow escapes were reported of physicians and others who had to be out in the storm. Railroad traffic was also interfered with and trains were very late. On the mountains the snow drifted and snow plows had to be put into commission to remove the obstruction. The towns of Nanticoke, Luzerne borough and Forty Fort were in entire darkness. The storm had disabled their electric light plants. Lancaster, Pa., Was Also Cut Off From Outside Communication. Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 15—Nine inches of snow fell here, and for 24 hours this city was cut off from wire communication with the outside world. Telephone and telegraph wires snapped beneath the weight of the snow, and hundreds of poles are down in the city and county. Sunday night the city was without street illuminations or trolley facilities. The wires of the Traction company were not seriously affected, but owing to the danger of charging the network of wires that lay in the streets the current was not turned on. Today cars are running irregularly. Crossed wires set fire to the grain warehouse of M. S: Graybill at Bareville. It was completely destroyed, at a loss of about $5000. Wilmington, Del., Nov. 15.—Eight million units of anti-toxin have been administered hypodermically to William Gebhardt, 43 years of age, of New Castle, who is suffering from lockjaw, and Drs. Black and Wertenbaker, the attending physicians, say he has a chance for life. His jaws have relaxed about three-quarters of an inch, and he took as nourishment a portion of a soft-boiled egg and some milk. His jaws have been locked for a week, as the result of having his right thumb lacerated in machinery. Greatest Colored Troupe New- A opera nights, P.

NINE INCHES OF SNOW Locked Jaws Relaxed ESCAPED FROM PORT ARTHUR Russian Torpedo Boat Destroyer Enters Harbor at Chefoo. JAP WARSHIP IS OUTSIDE Chefoo, Nov. 16.—The Russian torpedo boat destroyer Ratstoropony put into this harbor this morning. Firing was heard half an hour before she entered the harbor. A snow storm and a high wind were prevailing at the time, and it is believed that the Russian vessel, under cover of the storm, attempted to escape from Port Arthur. The correspondent of the Associated Press succeeded in reaching the destroyer after her arrival here, but he was not allowed to board her. The captain of the Chinese cruiser Hal Yung was the first person to go on board the Ratstoropony. He held a brief conference with her commander, after which the Ratstoropony came further in the stream and anchored in the same spot that the destroyer Ryshtitnii did last August, before she was cut out by the Japanese. A Japanese torpedo boat destroyer has been seen outside, watching the movements of the Russian vessel. General Stoessel In Hospital General Stocessel in Hospital Headquarters of the Third Japanese Army before Port Arthur, Nov. 16. via Fusan—it is reported that a wound received by General Stocessel has necessitated his confinement in a hospital, that he refused to relinquish the command of the garrison, and that he has issued orders to the troops to die at their posts rather than surrender. It is said that the spirit of the Russian troops has been dampened by continuous work, the lack of supplies and the hopelessness of their ability to make any successful defense of the fortress. It is said further that many of the Russian soldiers are ready to surrender, but that they are kept at their posts by officers, who threaten them with revolvers, and that several soldiers who were suspected of a desire to desert have been shot as a warning to others. The Japanese now believe that the garrison has almost reached the limit of human endurance. Spies and Russians who have surrendered report that rations in the fortress have been reduced. The wounded found by the Japanese are emaculated. Russian artillery shells are made partly of wood and do not explode. This shows that the Russians are now short of material for making heavy ammunition. The capture of the eastern fortified ridge will mean the surrender of the fortress in a couple of weeks unless the garrison there retires to the isolated forts. This seems improbable, however, and cold weather and the lack of food and ammunition renders desperate resistance unlikely. Tokio, Nov. 16.—The Japanese army staff pronounces the report of General Kuroki's death to be absurd. JAP ADVANCE EXPECTED Large Masses of Their Troops Moving, and Russians Look For Attack. Chansianoutun, Manchuria, General Kuropatkin's Headquarters, Nov. 16. A Japanese advance is daily expected. Large masses of their troops are moving eastward, and the Russians are expecting them to strike at their left flank. An attack upon the fortified village of Endowunulu, not far from Sinchinpu (two miles west of the Shakhei railroad station), and fronting the right flank of the 17th corps, was carried out brilliantly during the night of November 10 by the second brigade of the 35th infantry division. The village had been captured the same morning by the Japanese. Subsequently the Russians abandoned the place. At nightfall the brigade silently marched out and deployed. Four battalions were detached for the attack, and several companies of riflemen were ordered to move to the right, left and rear of the village. The men were told not to fire, but to charge with the bayonet. Two battalions were left in reserve with eight guns. A simultaneous advance was begun at 10 o'clock that night. The assailants hurled forward and encountered a deep ravine, which they crossed. They then rushed on the village. Not a single shot was fired. The Japanese were completely surprised, mostly sitting in the streets and buts eating their supper. They fled before the bayonets. As soon as the Russians occupied the village they brought up a battery. The Japanese tried to recapture the plains at break of dawn, but were repulsed. The Ras- slans, however, were compelled later to abandon Endownauh, as the retirement of the third division exposed them to a flank attack. Died While Bathing In Surf. Died While Bathing In Surf. San Diego, Cal., Nov. 15—Miss Istored Rush, an actress, died of heart failure while bathing in the surf. The shock was caused by an immense wave, which carried her into deep water. Half a dozen members of her theatrical troupe were in the surf, and assistance was at once hurried to her. She was unconscious when brought to shore. Physicians worked over Miss Rush for an hour in vain. Another member of the company, Milton Herlot, who endeavored to rescue Miss Rush, was rendered unconscious, but was revived after vigorous treatment PRINCE FUSHIMI IN WASHINGTON Washington, Nov. 15.—Prince Fushimi, the adopted brother of the emperor of Japan, arrived in Washington last evening and assumed for the first time since his arrival in this country his official personality as prince of the royal house of Japan. He was met at the station by the third assistant secretary of state, Mr. Peirce, who, as the personal representative of the president, bade him welcome to this country. Mr. Hikoki, the first secretary of the Japanese legation, and in the absence of the minister, presented to the prince at the station Baron Kaneko, who is visiting in this country, and Mr. Peirce and Colonel Symonis, U. S. A., who will act as the prince's honorary military alde. The program for the entertainment when he was presented to the president. The prince wore his full uniform when calling at the White House and the state department, but wore civilian dress when calling on the foreign ambassadors. The president returned the call of Prince Fushimi this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Tomorrow Secretary Loomis will give a luncheon in honor of the prince at the New Willard hotel. At the invitation of Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, who is dean of the diplomatic corps, Mr. Aspiroz, the Mexican ambassador, will act as dean during the visit of the prince. TRAINSCOLLIDEATCHADD'SFORD One Killed, Many Injured, When Cars Go Down, Embankment. Philadelphia, Nov. 15—One man was killed and about a score of other persons were injured in a collision of trains at Chadd's Ford Junction, 27 miles southwest of this city. The place where the accident occurred forms the junction of the central division of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad and the Wilmington and Northern railroad. Two cars broke loose from a freight train standing on a sliding of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad, ran down grade and struck an approaching passenger train after it had crossed the Wilmington and Northern tracks. The impetus of the collision sent the passenger train down grade, and it ran into a Wilmington and Northern train which was crossing the tracks. One car from each train rolled down a 12-foot embankment, and Howard Palmer, of Kenneth Square, Pa., aged 24 years, was caught under the wreckage and killed. One of the cars that went down the embankment contained 19 passengers, not one of whom was very seriously hurt. MURDERED AND ROBBED Employee of Reading Railway Found Dead In Car at Doylestown, Pa. Doylestown, Pa., Nov. 16. — Dead, with a bullet hole in his left temple and another through the right hand. Walter Suber, a young man of 23, employed by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway company as a yard watchman, was found lying across the overturned seats in an empty passenger coach. The wounds, the condition of the seats in the car and other evidence shows that a desperate struggle took place before the murdered man was overpowered and slain. A 88-callibre bullet was found imbedded in the woodwork of the car just above the body, and the weapon itself was found under a seat near by. The dead man was doubtless the victim of one or more thieves, who slew him in order to rob him. Suber drew his pay and always wore a gold watch and a gold scarf pin. When found, his watch and pin were gone, and a single penny was the only money left on his person. MAY USE ELECTRIC POWER it is Beloved Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad Will Make Change. Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 16.—Railroad men here are much concerned over a report, seemingly authoritative, that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railway, after three years of study by its high officials, will soon be equipped with electric power. It is also related that when the architects were asked to draw plans for the power house now building in Scranton, Pa., which will operate the electrical signal system, it was impressed upon them that they must plan so that an immense addition might easily be made to allow for the installation of a mammoth power plant, presumably to operate the road with electricity. Sliceless Man In a Wagon Trenton, N. J., Nov. 14.—Albert R. Herpin, of this city, who says he has not slept a wink in 10 years, will undertake to prove his claim and at the same time win a bet of $10,000, made by a Chicago specialist, that he cannot keep awake 31 days. The test is to commence in this city February 18 next. The money has been put up by R. C. Corbin, of Chicago, and four physicians will "sit up" with Herpin to make sure that he doesn't steel a nap on them. Hulk of Slocum Sold For $1800. New York, Nov. 16.—The hulk of the ill-fated exscription steamer General Slocum, which was burned in the East river early last summer, with the loss of more than 1000 lives, was sold at auction for $1800. The purchaser receives the engines, boilers, hull and tackie. They will be broken up for junk. Killed By Fall From Cliff Cleveland, Nov. 16.—Daniel Vancless of Garland, Pa., and his 22-year-old daughter have fallen over a high cliff at Rocky River, a suburb, with the result that the young woman was killed. Vancless was badly but not fatally injured. Work Withheld From Women at the Schuylkill Arsenal, Philadelphia. Washington, Nov. 15—It appears from developments that President Roosevelt's directions regarding the employment of sewing women at the Schuylkill arsenal in Philadelphia have not been carried into effect. Michael Francis Doyle, of Philadelphia, representing the sewing women called on the president and informed him that his orders had not been heeded; that only a part of the work had been restored to the women. He pointed out that the making of trousers, which amounts to about $500,000 a year, had been withheld from the women in direct contravention of the president's orders. After hearing Mr. Doyle's statements the president sent a note to the war department asking for a report on the matter, and calling attention to the fact that he had directed that the work be given to the women. He indicated his intention of ascertaining who had violated his instructions and why they had been violated. PENSION COMMISSIONER RESIGN Eugene F. Ware Will Quit Office On January 1. Washington, Nov. 15—Commissioner of Pensions Ware tendered his resignation to the president, and it was accepted, to take effect January 1. When seen Commissioner Ware refused to discuss his action in any way except to state that the newspapers of the country had been "resigning" him for the past two years. For at least one year, however, it has been definitely known that Mr. Ware would retire from his office soon after the fall elections and return to his home in Kansas to resume his law practice. It is believed here that Commissioner Ware's action was not due to any suggestion that the severance of his relations with the pension office would be agreeable to the president. On the contrary, it has been no secret that Commissioner Ware soon after assuming his duties found the duties of his office distasteful to him, and that this distaste steadily increased. There is no imitation as to who his successor will be. Will Fly Over Manhattan. New York, Nov. 16. — Captain Thomas Baldwin, of California, the inventor of the airship The Arrow, in which interesting and successful flights were made recently from the World's Fair grounds at St. Louis, is in this city. He is planning to essay flights over Manhattan Island in another and better equipped dirigible balloon. He is awaiting the completion of the construction, in Pennsylvania, of a new 16-horse-power engine for the new airship. Admiral Jewell to Retire. Washington, Nov. 16.—Orders have been issued at the navy department detaching Rear Admiral Jewell from command of the European station on November 15, he having applied for retirement after 40 years' service, which request is to be granted. The vessels of the European squadron will be attached to the South Atlantic squadron, under Admiral Chadwick, for participation in the winter manoeuvers. THE PANET SATURDAY... NOVEMBER 19, 1904 FOR SUNDAY READING THE GOOD SHEPHERD. Adapted from Psalm xxill. The Lord's my Sheepard; on His breasts My weary head He lay; Lord's in that sweet place of rest My heart is singing psalms of praise. I shall not want! Thou leadest me And pastures ever fresh and fair; And for me steals the melody And living waters murmuring there. The matchless music of Thy voice With wings of gidness and rejoice In paths where Thy dear feel have trod To mountains of delight I soar And find a full and free repast; With wings may how, the iron roar— With Thee I neither fear nor fast. To though the King of Terrors roam Ghostly vole, I fear no ill; Till crest it itressed home With smiles—for Thou it be with me still Get now I weep! On my poor head So cheerless The All-Merciful, The oil of joy hast richly shed Lord God forbear—my cup is full I overflows' Through life till now Hath mercy sought, love followed me; He ceaseforth this blow this While life ended, I will observe David A. McKnight, in N. Y. Observer. THE MEDDLESOME HABIT. Little Heart to Heart Talk on a Common Failing Among Best of People. One of the easily besetting sins against which the best people need to be on their guard, is meddlesomeness. No Christian should be what St. Paul calls "a busybody in other men's matters." But how hard it is not to be. Going into church the other Sunday, we noticed that nearly every devout Christian mother stopped her little flock upon the steps of the sanctuary and gave one last savage twist to braid and bow, one vigorous pat to the carefully parted hair, and one final tilt to her own protruding headgear. She might have spent hours upon the same toils and cares before was a moment left in which to add another touch, nothing could be considered complete. At the inner door of the sanctuary we heard a little group discussing the "horrid" arrangement of the flowers upon the communion table, and we noted that one of the grave and reverend deacons before he took his seat looked carefully up and down the row of windows, and at last tip-toed up to one and closed it; while on the opposite side of the church an usher ran up one curtain and down another without any other reason that we could see than sheer force of habit. The first thing the minister did when he entered was to twist the pulpit "all ways for Sunday," and the elder who handed up a pulpit notice stopped a moment to retouch it. All of which is due to pure force of habit, the habit of meddling with things as we find them, under the foolish impression that nothing is correct until we have given it our peculiar and personal twist. Indeed, we found ourselves before the sermon was concluded thinking over a half-dozen better ways in which the dominie might have laid out his discourse; and the first book we opened on our return to the home was, as we discovered, by some new critic who had written 500 pages to show how Moses ought to have rearranged the Pantateuch. In fact everyone appears to be of the opinion of Hamlet: The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That I was ever born to set it right." Now there is just where "you and I, and all of us (fall down)," says a writer in the Chicago Interior. The time is well enough if we would only let it alone. The chances are that by our meddlesomeness we mar more than we mend. The probability is that the cook broiled the breakfast bacon better than we could have done it, the tailor cut the coat better than as if he followed our directions, and the minister's sermon was more logical and forceful as he laid it out, than it would have been could we have jogged his elbow. No one can ever be happy in this world who fancies himself or herself born to "set it right." It would do us all good at times to sit with the pupils, instead of taking, uninvited, the seat of the master and critic. One of the most useful lessons any man can learn is to let things alone. Let the chair stand where the maid placed it. Let the dinner be served without protest as the good wife ordered it. And remember that the world will have to get along without us some day; that if we keep hands off from it for a little while, it may be learning, as it must learn, to eventually get along without our suggestion or interference. THE PASTOR AND HIS PEOPLE. No true sermon is an end in itself.— Ram's Horn. A dude preacher generally produces dead sermons. The best pulpit gown is the robe of righteousness. The growth of a church does not depend on its graft. A swindle cannot be sanctified by calling it a church fair. When a church dies it is sure to be a case of heart disease. Devotion to God finds its service in man.—United Presbyterian. The preacher cannot win men by advertising wine and serving dishwater.—Ram's Horn. OUR FATHER. Some Comforting Thoughts from the Fact of Our Relationship to God. What comfort in the words! Man and God united in such a close relation! Words found in no other religion than ours! I do not wonder that in hours of loneliness and despair Thomas Carlyle used to see these words inscribed in luminous letters on the black bosom of night! The thought in them recurs so often in Scriptures and in the symbols of the holy church universal! The Lord is my shepherd. Our Father which art in Heaven. God is love. I believe in God the Father Almighty maker of heaven and earth. O God the Father of Heaven; have mercy upon us miserable sinners. God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. The Father in Heaven cannot, indeed, be mathematically demonstrated. The truth is too vast to be girded by any system of human logic. It cannot be established in such a way that doubt would be impossible to a sane mind. The probability of it, however, can be established, and by acting upon that probability, we arrive at certitude. We have but faith; we cannot know A beam in darkness ligt it grow. This great truth it comes from Thee, a fatherhood of God is a kind of rational intuition. Like an axiom in geometry, it only needs to be stated to be accepted, says Edward Judson, D. D., in Baptist Standard. If our conduct is such that the vision of God is an intrusion and a menace, it is easy for us to shut him out of all our thoughts. The argument for God is made up of various strands of evidence. It is not a chain the strength of which depends upon the integrity of each individual link. It is more like a rope composed of numerous fibers, some of which may part, without fatal detriment to the rope. The idea of God meets the requirements of our intellectual nature. We keep going back in our thought toward the final cause of the universe and we find rest only in the conclusion that mind is the final cause and not matter. This is one of the strands in our rope. We see traces of design in nature. We stumble upon purposeful collocations—arrangements adapted to the achievement of certain ends, and as one picks up a flint arrowhead, we become aware of mind in the universe other than ours. This is another strand in the rope of probability. One cannot conceive that a watch with all its intricate mechanism made itself, or according to Martineau's illustration as quoted by Augustus H. Strong, that pattern damask was made by the weaver but by the horn or written by the laws of spelling and grammar. Again the thought of God meets the requirements of our spiritual nature. Our moral strivings and the instinct for worship, which is universally prevalent among men, find their correlative and counterpart in God. "The desire of the moth for the star" makes probable the existence of the star. This is far from a mathematical demonstration of God, but it is only one of the many strands which, twisted together, compose a strong rope of probability. But a consideration of our own individual insignificance sometimes makes it difficult for us to believe in the Fatherhood of God. Can it be, we ask, that in this vast universe He searches out with His loving care each minute human life, as a mother-bird penetrates the privacy formed by the branches of some great tree and unerringly finds her way to the wide-mouthed nestlings? When we stand upon some country road at night and look out upon the starry space and consider that each clistening speck of dust in the milky way is a world, and that our earth, "home of the struggling, suffering, doubling, dying." Is only a single grain of sand on a measureless seahow, how infinitesimal seems each human life that makes its home on this grain of sand among countless other lives which have been and are and will be! Can it be that God cares for the individual soul? When visited by such misgivings I find relief in this thought that the being, no matter how minute he is, that can grasp his thought—the starry heavens and can measure the distance from star to star, is greater than the whole material universe besides. "Man is a reed," says Pascal, and the weakest in nature, but he is a reed that thinks." The brain of an ant is but a tiny atom of gray matter, but it possesses a kind of distinction, because it is the home of thought. While looking at photographs of vast Egyptian architecture—shrinax pyramids and temples—we sometimes lower our eyes to gaze at the forms of man standing on the sand below. How diminutive their human figures seem as compared with the huge structures that tower above them. They seem introduced as a kind of foll, so that the height of the solid masonry shall be enhanced. But, after all, the man who can erect such structures is greater than they. A being made in the image of God is worthy of his regard. Clay suffused with personality and consciousness transcends the whole material universe with all its inert grandeur. We may well believe that as the ocean glides the continents and at the same time swathes in its soft embrace the tiniest sprig of sea weed, moistening it in every part, so the regard of our Heavenly Father presses against each individual soul gently and evenly on every side penetrating to every hidden fidelity and need.

Wonderful things has he accomplished. I was invited to see this phenomenon and witness one of the marvelous recollections of this animal. Gathered in the little sanded court on to which the stable THE ATHENS WORLD'S HOUSE THE TRAINER AND THE TRAINER opens, I found the duke of Meeklenburg, several high military commanders in regimental cress, an Italian nobleman, Herr von Schilling, a noted African explorer and student of animals, several professors, a number of ladies and gentlemen of high social standing, besides several correspondents of foreign newspapers, "Hans" is a beautiful fellow, with a fine face. As he was put through his excelses the wonder of the audience grew, for, during nearly two hours, in answer to questions from his master and questions from the audience, he showed that he could count, add, subtract, multiply, do simple sums in fractions, distinguish between the seven tones of the musical scale, pick out a man in the audience whose photograph he had been shown, single out the men from the women, distinguish the straw hats from the felt hats, indicate umbrellas or canes, tell where the large or small hands of a watch were at a given moment, tell whether a piece of money was gold, silver, nickel or copper, and also its denomination, and spell names given to him. His language is the tapping of his right front foot. He indicates a number or a letter by the number of taps, thus spelling by tapping until he comes to the number of the letter in the alphabet. Gold is indicated by one tap, silver by two, nickel by three and copper by four. Similarly the colors are told. In teaching him numbers the master has used a reckoning tablet and a blackboard. On the occasion above noted there were present in the little court 30 persons. The person who interrogated Hans was not his teacher, but Herr von Schilling, the African explorer, who had known the horse about two weeks. It was evident that it was no look or action of his teacher that prompted the answers, as is the case in the stock exhibitions of educated animals, but the intelligent comprehension of the horse. "How many persons are here?" was the first question. The horse gave a swift glance at the crowd and then struck the ground with his hoof 30 times. "How many have straw hats?" Three taps; correct. How many have felt hats? Eight taps; correct. A photograph was shown the horse, of an officer who a few days before had been present in his uniform. Hans was asked if the man were present to-day. He indicated (always counting from left to right) the exact number of the officer in the semicircle. He was asked to tell the colors in the cap of a certain officer. One stroke of the hoof then an interval followed by five strokes, thus pointing out red and blue, which correspond to the respective numbers in the prismatic scale.

The horse gave one stroke, "On what number is the large hand?" Ten strokes followed. It lacked ten minutes of one o'clock. How all this has been accomplished is the marvel of the beholder. It starts many questions concerning animal intelligence and the psychology of animals and affords much material for students of animal life. The director of the Berlin zoological garden has witnessed the "recelation" of Hans, and was so strongly impressed that he wrote an elaborate article for the Berlin press on the subject. Herr von Osten, the owner of this remarkable horse, holds that it is possible to educate a horse to read the signs on the street.

Psychologists may deny that the horse has the power of going beyond the culture of that side of memory which pertains to the laws of association. Yet even here there is no doubt much to be done in the animal world. We shall await with intense interest the outcome of Herr von Osten's experiments in the culture of his apt pup.

It must be added that this horse is not on exhibition to the public. Herr Osten is well to do, and avoids publicity. Only by special permission, granted to a select few can the horse be seen.

ARMSTRONG (Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) "HELLO, Crosby! I suppose you're in town for the cowboy festivities? What's it all about, anyway?" "Well, you see, Mr. Vinton, some of the boys get hurt every year. It's pretty hard on the fellows who haven't any friends, especially if they don't happen to have much coming; so we thought if we'd give an exhibition of horsemanship to-morrow and get a crowd together, then in the evening we'd have a big blow-out at Thomson's hall and use the proceeds to establish a cowboy bed at the hospital." "Good idea. By-the-way, Crosby, my wife has been east after her spring stock of millinery and she brought home a niece to spend the summer. She's a pretty girl with a yellow head full of romantic notions. She has been reading some cowboy literature and thinks, now that she is in the west, she will have some hair-raising experiences, and I wouldn't have her disappointed for all the outlaw horses that you fellows will ride to-morrow. "Can't you fix up some scheme, Crossby? She will be down at the store in the morning, trying to get a glimpse of the cowboys, through the windows." "Now, Mildred, if you'll help me unpack this box of flowers and put them in the show case before dinner, we will be all ready to go out and see the broncho riding, this afternoon." "In just a minute, Aunt Vinton. Two men with broad-brimmed hats on are getting off their horses out here. They are just dropping the reins instead of tying the horses, and they have on such funny pants, with long shaggy hair on the front; one pair is black and the " COVERED HER WITH A TWO-FOOT REVOLVER. other a dingy pink. Are they cowboys, auntie?" "Yes, and what you call funny pants are their chaps. Bless me, what's all this?" Mildred turned quickly, hearing the sudden change in her aunt's tone, to see the back of the store filling with men, large and small, all wearing broad hats and a stern expression. She stood to the spot an instant, then sprang to the front door, only to find it slightly open and the muzzle of a revolver confronting her. She turned with an instinctive idea of hiding under the counter, and the crowd of broad hats and hairy chappeller were within a few feet of her, the leader covering her with a two-foot revolver. For 20 seconds the only sound in the room was the jangle of oncoming spurs. The leader's deep voice broke the silence. "In the store we just left, three men lie wettering in their blood; there are still two loads in this gun and plenty more here" ((touching his cartridge belt). "but if you'll be civil and give us all the ribbon we want, we'll agree not to harm you." "Ribbon?" quavered Mildred; "here is the counter; help yourselves." "This will do," said a little fellow in spotted calfskin chapps, taking a spool of red and green baby ribbon. "Now, cover our retreat, Boss." and walking backward, still covering the trembling girl with his gun, the big fellow followed his companions out of the store. From behind boxes and counters peered the heads of Mrs. Vinton and the sales girls, while the head trimmer dashed to a window, exclaiming: "There they go," as the thunder of the horses' boots shook the building. My, but you are a brave girl. MII- dred." cried one. dried, cried one. "You saved our lives, sure," said another. "Your presence of mind is wonderful," approved Mrs. Vinton. "Well, I guess I can write an interesting letter home," said Mildred, with a nervous laugh. "What do you think of cowboys now?" Mrs. Vinton questioned, as she came upon Mildred, near the edge of the crowd. A number of wild steers had been roped and thrown, the well-trained horse holding the steer steadily, while the rider, springing lightly to the ground, sped to the fallen steer and tied his legs, rendering him helpless. Before she could reply, a wild shout and scramble sent the crowd surging backward. *Mildred started with the others, but stepped on her feet and fell to the ground.* When she regained her feet, the big steer, who had jumped up and jerked the horse sidewise, was between her and the crowd, while the horse had regained his balance and turning his tail to the steer was again holding him. With an angry bellow the steer started in a circle. Mildred saw the taut rope flying toward her, borne by an enraged steer, while the horse formed the stationary point of this living compass. To fly was impossible and Mildred, with a despairing cry, put her hands over her eyes. A sudden rush of flying pony feet, a swirl of air and Mildred was lifted bodily by the rider of the fleeing horse and before she could catch her breath was borne to safety. "That was a close call for you, little girl," the rider said, as he set her on the ground and galloped off. "Oh, auntie," Mildred cried, when that lady came hurrying up, "the man who saved my life just now is the same one who pointed the pistol at me in the store this morning. He is awfully strong and I don't believe he is a bad man after all." The hall was lighted by many lanterns and decorated with brilliant Navajo blankets, coils of rope and horse hair bridles. Saddles hung by one stirrup and chapels and cartridge belts were suspended from the saddle horns. A tarpaulin covered the musicians' stand and every cowboy wore a leather badge fastened by a bunch of red and green baby ribbons! From the first Mildred was the center of attraction. Every cowboy claimed an introduction and danced with her. But one, her rescuer of the afternoon, came again and again, asking her assistance in waltz, two-step and quadrille, and when her feet began to weary, he led her to a secluded corner, spread a gay blanket for her to sit upon and sank down at her feet. "How pretty the hall looks," she sald, "it's so different from anything I ever saw before." No response. The musicians struck up "Home, Sweet Home." "That almost makes me homesick, slighed Mildred. "Say, I like your nerve," he broke out, "I hope you are not mad at me—at us fellers, for the trick we played on you this morning. Why, that old gun hasn't been loaded for ten years, but you did not know that." "Don't mention it," exclaimed Mildred. "If I was in no danger then, I certainly was this afternoon and you saved my life. How can I thank you enough, for that?" "Don't thank me. I am glad I got a chance to protect you, because—that's what I want to do always. Will you let me?" "Oh! what will auntie say?" "Your uncle knows me. He will tell you that Crosby is straight; that the C-K cattle range from Bossler's to Crow creek and that the ranch house at the foot of Red Buttes needs a mistress. Will you make a home of it?" "Yes—a-Mr. Crosby—if—if uncle and aunt are willing." LETTER TOURS THE WORLD Seaman on Cruiser Receives Missive Three Years After Date of Mailing. While visiting relatives in Paterson, N. J., recently Master-at-Arms Charles E. Newton of the cruiser Des Moines received a letter which the government has been trying to deliver to him for the last three years. The letter was mailed in New York by relatives of Mr. Newton, and was addressed to the Brokolyn navy yard, where the Des Moines was awaiting orders. Before the letter could be delivered the Des Moines was ordered to Norfolk, Va., and it was forwarded there. In the meantime Newton's ship had gone to Cuba, but the letter did not reach the new republic's shores until the Des Moines had gone to the Philippines, so it was started to the other side of the world. It rested at the Philippines long enough to be forwarded to China, where the Des Moines had been sent on a cruise, but when the letter reached China Newton and his ship had gone away and the letter was again started off—this time for England. The Des Moines did not stop on English shores and the postal officials of that country returned the letter to the United States postal station at Shanghai, China, whence it was sent to the Philippines. Back it went to Norfolk, Va., just missing the Des Moines by a day or two. Then it was forwarded to Paterson, and was finally delivered. The envelope was covered by the forwarding addresses, but was in a good state of preservation, although it contained 12 pages of writing paper. The news in the letter was a little out of date, but Newton was glad to receive it. The letter will be kept by him as a curiosity.

Beware of a rope so old it hangs dead in all kinds of water. It is nearly gone for work and is dangerous. "Instead of roping your rope of its strength by boiling and wetting, feed it. Take a bar of good soap and run it along as the rope runs back and forth. The soap will soon find its way all over the rope and it will add to its strength and make it work more smoothly. I know it is work, but if you will take piles of soap you will be well repaired the time spent. Use plenty of water where there is much friction. Take care of your rope!" SEASONABLY WARM NOTES. Any kind of bait that is underlaid with a quicksand boil is not to be relied on for the growing of crops. About 20 pounds is the amount of alfalfa seed required per acre to give the best of resilient fairly good land. Styles 2 and 3 are a hinge stitch for light belts where the belts run under idlers or turn short curves, as in a hinge stitch the belt can be doubled back and forth each way and it will not 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 wear, when if sewed as in Style 1 it would wear out in a short time. Styles 4, 5, 6 and 7 are used on heavy belts where a heavy strain is put on them and especially when belts become cold and hard to get lacing to hold. This style of lacing will hold as well as the other part of the belt will. Style S is a double hinge stitch and should be used where a heavy strain is placed on the belt and in turning short curves or in running under small idlers. The main drive belts used on separators sewed in this way will often last two seasons without relacing the belt. Where these stitches are not familiar to the operator he can easily grasp the idea by threading a needle and using the cut as a model and drawing lines on the cut with the thread. When he gets the idea it will be no trouble for him to sew a belt, always commencing in the center of the belt when sewing and ending in the center. If he has a Rogers punch, by simply pushing it through the leather it will form a half circle to push the lace through it a little notch in the lace and it will catch on this half circle and cannot be pulled out. It will not be necessary to tie the lace in any way. In lacing very often the end of the lace is soft and it is hard to thread through the holes, but if you will simply wet the end of the lacing or oil it, then light a match and crisp the end of the lacing it will form a hard point which will save time and annoyance. Every thresherman who does not understand this style of lacing should take a couple of cards and punch holes as indicated by the cut and sew the cards with a shoe string for lacing, as these make good lacings for practice and are easier than tracing with a thread. Thresher World. The First Flowing in India. The commencement of the farming season in India is celebrated with ceremonies. The first furrow in the village is plowed by a committee of farmers from the neighborhood. The plow is first worshiped and decorated. The bullock or camel which draws it is covered with garlands of flowers; bright-colored pieces of cloth and rosettes of ribbon are braided into its tail and hung upon its horns. Behind the plow follows "the sower," who is also decorated with flowers and ornaments, has a red mark upon his forehead and his eyelids colored with lambblack. He drops seed into the furrow. Behind him comes a second man, who carefully picks up every grain that has fallen outside of the furrow. When the furrow is finished the farmers assemble at some house in the neighborhood and have a dinner. There are similar ceremonies connected with the harvest. Cayenne pepper doesn't come from a pepper plant, nor Burgundy pitch from Burgundy. Jerusalem artichokes do not come from Jerusalem, nor turkeys from Turkey. Camel's hair brushes are made from the tail of the squirrel. German silver is not silver, and it was invented in China. Cork legs are not made of cork; neither do they come from Cork, Ireland. Prussian blue does not come from Prussia. Irish stew is not an Irish, but an English dish. Cleopatra's Needle was set up 1,000 years before that lady was born. Chamois leather is not the nide of a chamois, but the flesh side of sheepskins.—Boston Herald. TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROPE Use Plenty of Soap Where There Is Much Friction and Prevent It from Twisting. Discussing the subject of how to prevent a hay rope from twisting, Mr. George Benbow in a recent issue of Wallace's Farmer says: "What you want to do is to compel the hemp fiber to conform itself to the new position in the rope. The hemp, as it comes to the rope walk to be manufactured is straight. The fibers are joined and twisted to form a thread; the threads are doubled and twisted to form a strand, and the strands are twisted together to form a rope. With all this twisting is it a wonder the original fiber resists? Now to boil your rope, or soak it in water, or to Every Farmer Who Owns Machinery Should Know How to Do This Work Expeditiously. LACING LEATHER BELT The First Plowing in India Some Things That Are Not T. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Paris Fancies in Fall Fashions with greens and browns, which colors are always revived in the autumn. Biscuit-colored linens are giving place to very fine faced cloths of the same color. One model made for an American showed one of the new sleeveless coats with a pleated basque, worn over a waistcoat of white embroidered cloth and showing the sleeves of a white Harp bride A DAINTY EVENING GOWN. Made of black crepe de chine and trimmed with jetted embroidery in Van Dyke points. cambric blouse. The pleated skirt just cleared the ground, and had a narrow embroidered trimming down the front. White alpaca and Tussore have also been used by the leading tailors, and here again does the pleated skirt just clear the ground. This skirt is certainly the most general for morning wear and can look very well in thin serges or flannels. With this the short bolero is admirable, worn, of course, over a skirt, the best skirts being of white cambric or lawn, with linen collars and cuffs, unstiffened and softened by dainty embroidery. The colored bolero is already a feature; it is a most useful addition to our summer frocks. For instance, I have seen a crook of black chiffon voile worn with a bolero of wide black and white striped velvet, the sleeves turned back above the elbow with black velvet, with revers of the same, bordered with green and gold embroidery. Bright green and bright orange panne and taffeta, and Tussosare, are the favorite shades and fabrics for this new bolero, which is often made with tiny, pleated trills, admirably suited to thin women. Some of the Viennese clothes are made up with the corselet skirt, heavily braided, and the short bolero also braided to match. Capes are worn in much variety, and the paletot also forms a useful wrap for the moment. The old-fashioned "cross-over" fastening at the back with a big rosette, is a pretty idea, and in velvet or silk is admirable for casino wear. The most elaborate toilettes show the short shoulder and tight sleeves with full graceful skirts. The Waists for Fall and Winter to good old common-sense garment. And, so that the waist is left loose over the bust, shoulders and arms, the girth is none too snug, and it is easy to put on and comfortable to keep on, endless variations can be sprung without a murmur. The prettiest of the shades this fall are shown in the Quaker, the sailor and the surplice style, all built on shirt waist lines, all simple, washable and adjusted to the athletic figure of the day. These waists are worn with any sort of short skirt—tweed, homespun, hopsack, cheviot, stormer or Burlingham cloth. If or smooth cloth, the skirt harmonizes in color; if of rough, the color is not considered. As to colors, the first restriction bars out white, that is all white, which has reached the atrophy of an over successful whim. In cottons, all the prettiest and newest are dotted or striped with color or have a broche figure or are checked with blocks of color. Cotton cheviot is usually striped and madras has the broche effect. The cotton and wool cheviot looks exactly like the all cotton, except that it comes also in plaids and brilliant two-toned checks, and the wash flannels show all the loveliest of the new fall shades, the dahila, copper, coque do roche, onion skin and oak tones, from the palest to the deepest and richest hues. The wash flannels are the newest waist material, and prophesy, with their fineness, light weight, beautiful colors and qualities in the laundry, a partial eclipse of the handsomest cotton, at least for the women who dread the chill of cotton or linen.

About 20 pouns is the amount of alfalfa seed requi per acre to give the best of res on fairly good land. As a rule, a seed that is loamy on top and clayey underneath is good farming land, provided that the drainage is good. Cross-breeding animals does not generally yield satisfactory results, nor will cross-breeding seed plants be likely to give us any better results in the main. Corn that has beer, permitted to fully mature on the stalks gives the best results when used for seed. We might expect this, as it is in accordance with nature's plan. Do not select the ears of corn intended for seed too early this fall. The corn is increasing in substance now, and this should be allowed to go on as long as possible. Until the substance is all in the kernels they will not have attained full vitality. FOR REMOVING BOWLDERS. Simple Bit of Engineering That Does Away with a lot of Labor- ious Digging. Holding our wealth from cultivated Wild Plants of little labor, espe- 18 is from cultivated if little labor, especially if the bowler is deeply imbedded in the earth. A large stone can be read in the bowler is deeply imbedded in the earth. A large stone can be dled needly when upon the surface, but much more laborious digging is required if the bowler is to be hauled out by "main strength" by a team. A simple bit of engineering that will greatly help in this case is shown in the accompanying illustration. Two stout 2x4 scantillets are bolted at top and placed above bowler as shown. Chains are fastened around bowler and fastened to a scantling a third of the way from bottom. A long chain or rope from top of scantling to double tree of the team gives the connecting link. On starting up team the bowler will be lifted out upon the ground very easily for reasons that anyone with a mechanical eye can readily see.—O. M. O'Hair, in Agricultural Epitomist. Keep the Farm Tools Clean In no other way can good, thorough work be done so quickly and easily as with tools kept in nice working order. And after you are through with them, store them away in a dry place. Have a place for every tool, and put it in its place. When you lay them away coat all steel parts with oil mixed with white lead or lard and kerosene; the latter to prevent the rats from eating off the grease. Then in the spring, when you draw out the tools, you will have no trouble in getting them to do good service.—E. L. Morris, in Epitomist. Keep Buildings Well Painted. Many farmers wait several years after painting a building before painting it again. They wait until the building is in bad condition and it requires as much or more paint to cover it as it did at first. Buildings should be painted one coat every two or three years. This done, not only will the cost of repairs be lessened, but appearance of the place will be much improved. Fresh paint applied often, even though in small quantities, keeps wood and metal from decay. G. H. Peters, in Farm Journal. --- Absent-minded Editor—No, my dear, we never notice anyone who doesn't advertise.—Ally Sloper. Mean or Him. "I'll cast my bread upon the waters," said the young wife.

I do not yet know. When it is carried out by the real artists, who can make necessary modifications suited to the individual woman, without apparent alteration, it is, without doubt, extremely effective, but for the majority such a complete revolution of fashion is somewhat dangerous. This also applies to the Princess frock, which will be a decided feature of the coming modes. It is strange that we should use the queer velvet and silk buttons which have been out of date for so many years, but we have begun to realize that nothing looks dowdy in the hands of the expert. It is only when difficult styles are copied by the million that incongruity arises. It is well to remember that the Princess robe suits very few figures; to be a success it must be most deftly draped, and cut with real "cunning," as the Americans would say. Gray—a curous smoke gray—has become the craze among Americans, and gray astrachan will be a popular fur during the coming winter, second only to Russian sable and ermine. Then we shall use a great deal of fur edging as trimming, and this is in some measure due to the revival of the Princess robe, and velvet buttons. A good many fringes have been observed at Homburg, especially on the Tussore wraps and coats of kimona shape. Eastern embroidery will be a noticeable feature of evening dress, and among the fabrics used we shall still see shaded mousselline de soie, taffeta changeant and satins, while many will be glad to know that the old-fashioned peau de soie and moire antique will be revived. Vieux rose of the most vivid shade will be one of the favorite colors for evening wear. Greens, yellows, blues, from the brightest Rickett shade to the palest corn-flower tint, and gray will be almost as popular for night as for day wear. Another item of interest is that pet-ticoats are getting more elaborate. Bertie Cawed Made of lace, broderie anisale and taffetas. Hat is of straw and plait mixed, trimmed with autumn flowers. Instead of the very bright colors we have favored for some time past we are now reverting to the idea of a petticoat to match the dress. Shot taffetas are used and may be as plentifully trimmed as our expenditure will permit. But though our underskirts are elaborate we are returning to the more simple styles where lingerie is concerned, and many are the beautiful specimens of hand stitching to be seen in up-to-date trousseaux. ANNETTE GIRKY But the fall linens are in wonderful colors, too, quite different from the woollens. They are in the roughest weaves—butcher's linen, coarse home-spun and a very rough Japanese weave—and in all the wonderful colors of the old vegetable dyes, the dull blues, greens and yellows of real mummy cloths, and in exquisite terra cotta and real Indian reds. They, too, wash well and make up a shade smarter in the finish than wool, because of the body in the material.

The first prayer over, along came another one and still a third. About this time her mother, surprised at the turn proceedings had taken, asked the little one what she meant by so many prayers. "Why," explained the little girl, "I'm going to say 12 prayers, now I'm awake, and then I can go two weeks without saying one."—Lowell Courier.

THE PLANET SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 19, 1904 TEMPERANCE NOTES The Song from a Jail Cell Which Wrought Transformations in Men's Lives. The following touching incident, a recent occurrence in a western county jail, as related by a keeper, is retold with the hope that the good work begun that night may go on and on. "Last evening, just before the lights went out in all the rooms of the county jail, and while the prisoners on the ground floor were gathered in the corridors telling coach stories, uttering oaths and indulging in the low, vulgar conversation so often heard among many who go to make up the crowd in the jail, the attention of the boisterous throng was suddenly arrested by the sound of a strong, sweet baritone voice singing 'Something Money cannot Buy, which came from one of the rear cells. In a moment every sound was hushed except the sweet voice of the vocalist singing: "Gold hath its powers, sages will say: "Riches in life hold a wonderful sway, But there's a power that halts from above, And grander and grander-power of love! There strolls a noble, money and land, Lives in a mansion, costly and grand, Yet he's unhappy, no one knows why. Love is a power no money can buy." "The voice quavered as the last lines were sung. The sound of the sweet music reached the office of the turnkey, and softly the door leading to the cell C A STRONG SWEET BARITONE VOICE CAME FROM ONE OF THE REAR CELLS. room was opened and those who were in the office when we started tiptoed into the hall. "Several of the prisoners meantime were noticed with a suspicious moisture about the eyelids. The voice of the singer was choked for a moment, says Mrs. Helena Thomas, who relates the story in the New York Observer, and then clearing his throat as if with an effort, he began the chorus: * Love of a mother for her darling child Love for a son tho' he's wayward and sad. "Here audible sobs were heard, both in the cell of the singer and from other parts of the corridors. Recollections of the mother love that had long been dormant in the breast of wayward boys had been stirred and the floodgates of memory broken down. For a few moments it seemed as if some of them could not control their emotions, but it finally became still again and the singer once more began, starting at the commencement of the chorus: "Love a mother for her darling child, Love a mother for her ward and wild, Love that brings joy and treasury. This love is something money can't buy. "As the singer ceased those in the corridor rushed to his cell, and hands were shoved through the bars in their desire to grasp those of the vocalist. "Put it here, old chap, that song has done me more good than all the sermons I ever heard,' said one. I 've got a mother, boys, and she's a grand, good woman, too! It would break her heart if she knew where I was. I want you to witness what I say. I have got 27 days yet to serve here. When I get out I am going to write to mother that my comin' home and goin' to work, and I ain't never goin' to drink another glass of whisky as long as my mother lives." "Here's another in the same fix,' said a second boy. 'I have not written a letter to my poor old mother in two years. God only knows what she has gone through on my account. I'm going to reform right now.' "The sweet singer, scarcely 20, a vaudeville vocalist, who was arrested for drunkenness just before he completed his engagement, saying as the tears streamed down his handsome face: "I'm with you, boys!" This is the first time I was ever in jail, and I got to thinking of the disgrace, and how broken-hearted my mother would be if she knew where her only son was to night, and I couldn't help singing those lines. This is the song I sang when I made my first hit. "It is wonderful how a crowd will follow an inspiration," continued the keeper; "in a short time nearly all the prisoners had avowed their intention to reform. "Then some one proposed "Home, Sweet Home." which was led by the sweet singer, and with hearts lighter than for many a day, because of noble resolves, every prisoner joined in singing the song that appeals to heart-hungry ones the world over." A PRACTICAL ARGUMENT. Habits. "What brings you here, Mary?" said Truedell to his wife, as she entered the liquor store. "It was very lonesome at home, and your business seldom allows you to be there," replied his meek and resolute wife. "To me there is no company like yours, and as you cannot come to me, I must come to you. I have a right to share your pleasures as well as your sorrows." "But to come to such a place as this!" expostulated Tom. "No place can be improper where my husband is," said poor Mary. "Whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder." She took up the glass of spirits, says the National Advocate, which the sa-loonkeeper had just poured out for her husband. "Surely you are not going to do harm," said Tom in astonishment. "Why not? You say that you drink to forget sorrow, and surely I have sorrow to forget." "Woman, woman, you are not going to give that stuff to the children!" cried Tom, as she was passing the glass of liquor to them. "Why not? Can children have a better example than their father's? Is not what is good for him good for them also? It will put them to sleep and they will forget that they are cold and hungry, Drink, my children, this is fire and bed, and food and clothing. Drink; you see how much good it does your father." With seeming reluctance, Mary suffered her husband to lead her home, and that night he prayed long and fervently that God would help him break an evil habit and keep a newly formed but firm resolution. His reformation was thorough, and Mrs. Truesdell is now one of the happiest of women, and remembers with melancholy pleasure her first and last visit to the dram shop. ALCOHOL AND INSANITY The Significant Report of Dr. Clouston of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum. During the last 30 years the recovery rate had gone down, but the death rate had increased; the deaths from recurrent disease had risen; senile insanity was increasing; adolescent insanity had also increased out of proportion to the increase of population; general paralysis was greatly increasing, from 205 to 431 per decade in the 30 years; alcoholic insanity went steadily up, this year in no less than 42.3 per cent. of all the men and in 18 per cent. of the women, much the largest proportion ever experienced. Excess in alcohol was assigned as the cause of their insanity. In 1873-7 the percentage of alcoholic cases was only 18.5 among the men and 10.5 among the women admitted. That had now been doubled. Dr. Clouston said it sometimes occurred to him whether one of the after-effects of the nervous towering which the universal epidemic of influenza of 1890 undoubtedly caused might not have set up the craving for the stimulus of alcohol with a lessened power of resistance to its effects on the brain. Since 1890 far more of the depressed forms of insanity had been sent in. Another explanation was that more money was probably earned by those who had not sufficient self-control and self-respect to use it rightly. It was a social scandal of a very alarming kind that nearly one-half of the insanity of any district should be more or less due to drink. Finally, Dr. Clouston urged the importance of a rational view of mental diseases. (1) It should be regarded simply as a disease of the brain; (2) it may be mere arrestment of brain growth in early life; (3) it might be an event in the natural process of decay and retrogression; (4) it may be merely the effect of poisons; (5) some brains were from the first sensitive and unstable; (6) heredity; (7) anyone may become unsound in mind of certain causes come into operation.

Hot Milk as a Temperance Drink. Hot milk is becoming a dangerous competitor of the liquor traffic in Stockholm. Professor Curt Wallis is a warm champion of the idea of combating the liquor evil with the aid of milk, and recommends the method introduced by Miss Utrech in Stockholm. This is quite simple. Just an automatic contrivance, something on the order of the slot machine, so popular in America, where for a small coln—five ore—a quarter of a litre of milk, heated to 70 degrees Celsius, can be secured. The purpose of Miss Utrech was to supply night workers and those who went to work early in the morning with a stimulating and warming beverage, and to guard against the temptation of visiting the vile resorts where liquor is sold. The wise look of the owl is caused by a physiological oddity, his eyes being fixed immovably in their sockets. THE RICHMOND OLD GAME FINISHED STORY THAT WILL INTEREST VETERANS OF THE WAR. A Poker Hand Dealt on the Night of April 2, 1863, in Virginia, But Just Now Played in New One result of the recent Grand Army of the Republic reunion in Boston was an unusual poker game played in western New York. For if it hadn't been for the reunion James Weatherbee, of Denver, Col., a one armed veteran of the civil war, would not have met an old comrade at Union Hill, N. Y., and, incidentally, would not have finished a little jack pot that was being nicely opened on the night of April 2, 1865, on the outskirts of Petersburg. The explosion of Fort Drewry and the burning of Richmond, in sending Grant's 10,000 men souting after Lee's veterans, with Sherier dangling on the flank, interrupted the game. While on his way home from Boston, says the New York Sun, Weatherbee stopped off in Rochester to visit friends. While there he took a trolley to Boston Point. As the car was waiting on Union Hill he heard a man mention the name of Prattley, a well-known farmer. "Hey, there," he cried out of the window; "are you folks speaking of Enos Prattley, a civil war veteran?" The station agent told him that the group was speaking of Enos L. Prattley. "I get out here," cried Weatherbee to his friends. "Pick me up on your way home." He walked a mile before he came to his old comrade's home. "Is this Enos? Shake. I'm Weatherbee. Do you remember April 2, 1865?" he asked of Prattley, who was about to enter the house. Prattley grinned and said: "Let's see, Jim; we was opening a jack-pot when old Drewry blew up and you hed to git." "And that last deal cost me an arm," replied Weatherbee, still clinging to the other's rough palm. "That's why I never came back to finish that pot. I was dealing, remember? You were scowling at your cards and pretending you couldn't open. Lord! Seems as if it was but THE GAME BROKEN UP. yesterday. And I never knew what I held in my hand." "Come inside, Jim," invited the farmer, "I sealed them cards up, and I guess we'd better finish that pot." The two hands, yellowed with age, and the balance of the grimy old deck, were brought out of a cupboard and the two again examined their cards. "You were right, Jim. I'd calculated to open. Here's the original stake. We was playing a ten-cent limit game. So I'll open it for ten," said Prattley. Weatherbee slammed 20 cents on the table. "It'll cost you ten more to draw cards," he cried. "Well, there look pretty good. I'll fuss with them. Gim'me two cards," retorted the farmer. Prattley held three deuces. Weatherby had four, five, six, seven of diamonds, and the queen of spades. He had waited for 39 years to discover that he stood a chance of making a flush, a straight, or a straight flush. He caught the three of spades. "Ten cents," said Prattley. "And ten," replied Weatherbee, cheerfully. "Same to you," challenged the farmer, who had caught two jacks. "They're just as good as they were in 1865. Up again," retorted Weatherbee. Prattley raised again, and once more and then called. His pot amounted to $1.50. "We won't play another pot, as it would take away the poetry of the whole thing," said the Denver man. "But after recovering from my wound I went west and made a little money, and if you'll sell me the cards and jackpot for $50, I'll be much obliged, Enos." "I'll help out on the taxes. I'll do it," agreed Prattley, and the old cards and the handful of silver were sealed up and handed over to the westerner. Prattley says that ever since that long-ago night, when he expected young Weatherbee to return with the morning at the latest, he has always felt that the interrupted pot would be opened some time. Insult Added to Injury A young man, while getting his hair cut in a Boston tonsorial parlor, fell asleep. When he awoke his very young mustache had been removed. He raged still more indignantly when the barber apologized by declaring the mustache was so shadowy he "couldn't see it." PRISONER IN A BEAR TRAP A California Hunter Was Delirious When Rescued After Captivity Lasting Two Days. Hiram Lake, a homesteader living in the Fish spring region, near San Bernardino, Cal., was held a prisoner for two days in a bear trap which he encountered while hunting. That section in the past has been noted as being a favorite place for bears, and as a result traps are quite frequently found. Lake was pressing his way through the brush when he felt something grip his leg, and an exerciast 6 ing pain shot through his body as the rusty teeth of the trap cut through his boots and sank into the flesh. He fired away all his ammunition, vainly trying to attract attention, and then used his lungs, calling for help until increasing pain and exhaustion over came him, and he sank insensible. When he revived another day was breaking. He threw all his weight upon the trap, but owing to the manner in which he was imprisoned and the pain which every motion caused, he was unable to release himself, and undoubtedly would have perished, had not assistance come in the person of a trapper named George Young. Young found Lake in a delirious condition, his leg being swollen almost double its normal size, and he was tugging with his teeth at the steel trap. It was necessary to throw him down and bind his arms behind him before he could be released. For two days he was cared for by Young, who then started with him for Bakersfield, fearing that unless he received expert attention blood poisoning would set in where the sharp teeth of the trap had lacerated the flesh. Kilmore—After all, Stedman isn't so bad a fellow. He came to me, man fashion, and took back all the things he had sold against my people. Burman—Did it voluntarily? Kilmore—Practically that.

All the Comfort of Home Orders received by letter or telegraph MRS. BOOKER LEFTWICH, PROPRIETRESS, 16 N. 2d St., Richmond, THE PLANET POULTRY AND BEES They Should Be Located on the South Side of a Barn or Other Farm Building. T. F. McGrew, writing in a bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, says: Turkeys do best when they can rest in the open. If well fed they will thrive more in the shelter of trees than in a close confined house. The troubles that arise from allowing them to live in the trees are that they become wild and frequently are stolen. If housed, their quarters should be alrly, roomy and perfectly clean. It is not AN IDEAL TURKEY ROOST wise to have them roost with other poultry. If found necessary to confine them, all that is needed is a shed or house that will protect them from the elements and marauders of all kinds, and at the same time not be too confining for them. Place the roosts well up from the floor and keep the interior perfectly clean and free from vermin. In localities where it is not too cold during the winter months, it is better to allow the breeding stock to roost in the open, either in trees or upon roosts prepared for them by planting posts that project about eight feet above the ground. Upon these place long poles about two or $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter for roosts. Roosting places of this kind are better sheltered when located on the south side of a barn or building, as in the illustration. INTRODUCTION OF A QUEEN Perform a Task Which Is Considered One of the Hardest in Beekeeping. Colonies having only young bees accept queens readily, so that when a warmth has issued and the parent stock has been removed to a new stand the time for queen introduction is propitious. During a great honey flow queens are accepted without much question, if any at all. They may at such times nearly always be safety run in just at dark by lifting one corner of the cover or quilt of a queenless hive and driving the bees back with smoke. The new queen, having been kept without food and away from all other bees for a half hour previously, is then slipped in and the have left undisturbed for several days. As queens mate only once and workers and drones live but a few weeks or at most only a few months, if an Italian, a Carniolan or other choice queen mated to a drone of her own race is introduced into a colony the bees of this colony will soon be replaced by others of the same race as the queen. All of the colonies of an apiary may thus be changed. From a single breeding queen the apiary may be supplied with young queens pure in blood, and since these—even though mated to drones of another race—will produce drones of their own blood, the apiary will soon be stocked with males of the desired race. Field and Farm. THE QUATEMALAN TURKEY Enemy of Boll Weevil Which Is to Be Given a Trial by Agricultural Department. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson announces that he has discovered a new foe to the cotton holl weevil. It is an especially interesting foe, since after it has eaten the weevil the cotton planters can eat the foe. Mr. Wilson's discovery is a species of turkey from Guatemala. While not willing to commit himself to the statement that the new foe will make the holl weevils scarce in Texas, Secretary Wilson has hopes the turkey will not necessarily supersede the weevil-eating eat, but will be his ally. "Our agents in Guatemala," says the secretary, "in their study of the life habits of the ants and the boll weevil, have recently discovered that the turkey is a great enemy of the weevil and propose to give it a trial in the United States. The turkey of Guatemala is somewhat smaller than our own variety and it is very tame. It is also very good for food. In fighting the weevil the department will spare no expense and if the turkeys can be obtained and will do the work they will be distributed among all the plantations of the infested section. The study of the Guatemalan ant will, at the same time, be continued. "Those which have been imported are doing well and are meeting our expectations. Reports that we have been losing them are without foundation." Green Mustard for Poultry When you are pulling up that mustard in the garden do not forget that the chickens in the yard are very fond of it. They will eat large quantities of it with the keenest kind of relish and it is said that chickens fed on green mustard as a part of the regular ration are likely to be free from disease. Mustard is a stimulant as well as a tonic to the inner mucous coats of the alimentary canal, and is for that reason valuable for fowls.—Inland Journal. RAISE YOUR OWN HONEY. There is no reason why farmers should not handle their bees along profitable lines, even if they have but a few colonies. Bees, as kept on the farm—a few colonies here and there, scattered in different localities—ordinarily do the best business, for they are not overstocked as they are frequently in large apiaries. Almost double the amount of honey can be obtained from a colony thus situated, and bee-keeping, as a rule, is much more profitable if the bees are in proper shape to do good work. The greatest mistake farmers make, is that of limiting the surplus boxes, thus not furnishing the bees with enough surplus capacity. The bees fill this limited space with honey in a few days at the beginning of the honey season and afterwards turn their attention to swarming, and several swarms will be the result instead of a large honey yield. Farmers, in connection with their other work, might as well reap hundreds of pounds of the finest honey instead of obtaining but a few pounds, if they would only give the bees plenty of storage room, and promptly take the honey away as soon as completed. The rule among small bee-keepers is to give but a small surplus capacity in the spring, and let this remain all summer to be taken off in the fall, supposing that it is an all summer's job for the bees, when in most cases this space is filled in a week or two and allowed to remain in the hive all summer, which reduces it to a poor grade of honey as well as a small amount. Hundreds of pounds of first class honey might have been obtained by giving a larger capacity, and removing the honey as fast as stored and completed. Some localities are better than others, and some seasons are better than other seasons, but it is never a mistake any season to thus provide for the most at all times and under all conditions. By a little forethought and work on the part of the average farmer and fruit grower, he could easily secure all the honey necessary for his own use, and some to sell also—Midland Farmer. SELF-FEEDER FOR POULTRY It Assures Ample Rations for Each Individual Bird and Prevents Waste of Feed. To avoid the usual waste in feeding chickens I have made a number of self-feeders like the one shown in the picture. The box is eight inches deep. place the lower edge of the board (b) about an inch from the back and two inches from the bottom. This will permit the a feed which is poured into the box through door (a), to run down only as fast as the chickens eat it from the floor through opening at c. Nail on a strip at the front to prevent the chickens from working the feed out on the ground. The opening should not be large enough to permit the fowls getting in to scratch out the feed. It may be fastened to the side of a building or long strips may be nalled upon it each side to prevent its being upset. This arrangement gives them at all times clean feed with little trouble for the chickens and a great saving in feed to the grower.—T. S. Bronson, in Farm and Home. POULTRY YARD PARAGRAPHS The dust heap is absolutely necessary for fowls. Feather pulling is a vice that comes from confinement and idleness. Allow no filth of any kind to accumulate within reach of the fowls. Thoroughness in detail in poultry raising is the great secret of success. raising is the great secret of success. Common fowls do not possess the characteristic qualities of thorough-breds. When fowls are permitted to roost in foul, damp houses it causes droopishness. Fowls will eat a great deal of granulated charcoal. As a preventive of disease it is invaluable. By giving young fowls a free range it will aid materially to develop a strong, healthy constitution. Poultry should always have access to green food when possible, and when they cannot it should be supplied. Corn, when fed to the hens by itself, has a tendency to fatten rather than produce the most profitable egg laying—American Tribune. Turkens Dostron Menn Turkeys Destroy Many Insects. The turkey is an active forager and will consume hundreds of insects during each day. The guinea is another very industrious worker that performs great service. The hen, also, is an active Insect destroyer, and when at liberty she fully compensates her owner for all the case given. If the number of insects destroyed daily by the fowls on the farms could be estimated, it is possible that many would be surprised. Such benefits should be credited to the fowls as valuable adjuncts to farming. —Farm and Fireside. Skim-Milk for the Fowls The more skimmilk the fowls use the better. In spite of all that has been said in favor of this kind of food a good many farmers give all the skimmilk they have to the pigs and let the fowls subsist on grain alone. Often the pigs have more than they can eat, and in such a case a large part of the milk is wanted. Fowls make such good use of milk as a partial ration that its feeding should not be neglected.—Farmers' Review. Birds Cannot Fly Backward. Strange as it may appear, it is a fact that no bird possesses the power to fly backward. THE RICHMOND PLAN HAD UNIQUE WEDDING TRIP Married, yet separated on their honeymoon, the bride riding in a Pallman and the groom crouching in a death defying position on the head end of the "blind bargage" of the limited, was the odd trick fortune played a young La Crosse couple a few days ago. The names of the young couple are kept secret, but it actually happened. They were married secretly in Winona, but when the time came to return to La Crosse the groom had just enough money to pay railroad fare for one. He purchased the bride a ticket to La Crosse and assured her he would quick- A PUT HER NAME IN A PACKAGE. ly follow, but was called uptown on business. He said if he did not return in time for that train he would take the next, which left in a few hours. The bride boarded the train without him. Still he was there. While she worried as the train spealed along he was clinging desperately to the iron rail of the baggage car. There was no stop until the train pulled into La Crosse, and the bride alighted and looked around her anxiously. A smoke begrimed young man stood alongside the car she had just left, but he escaped her notice until he could get a bath and a clean suit of clothes. WAIT MANY YEARS TO WED They Were Married in the Dark That Marks of Age Might Not Be Apparent. Judge Zell Roe left his bed the other night at 12 o'clock to speak the words which bound together Ragan B. Bayhard and Lou Palm, aged 47 years, says the Des Moines News. The couple walked into the city from opposite directions to reap the reward they had waited 27 years to receive, and then asked to be wed in the dark. The groom arrived about 11 o'clock and "hung around" the front yard until the arrival of the bride. They met in the moonlight and approached the house hand in hand. It had been a long time since they had met before. Judge Roe thrust his head from the door without the formality of putting on his clothes or striking a light. "Please don't strike a light, squire," pleaded the groom in a husky voice. "I reckon Lou can't quite es purty es she was 27 years ago. Kain you tie us up in th' dark so's we ken think we air es young es we used't be" When it was over they told a story of humble submission to fate. Each had watched tenderly over the last declining years of father and mother. For 27 years they had slaved to ease the path of invalids in the separate homes. But a few days ago the death angel flitted away with the soul of an aged mother in one home and a father from the other. The angel opened wide the door which has been barred these long 27 years. Judge Roe will not deny that he felt a glad thrill of joy as he watched them wandering, arm in arm, down the moonlit road. HOW HE MANAGED THINGS His Best Girl Thought Him a Hero and the Persistent Creditor Went Off Satisfied. "Oh, George," said the sweet girl to her lover, "that horrid man on the other side of the street has been following us the last half-hour, and he keeps on staring so boldly at me!" "My darling," said Jones, "why didn't you tell me before? I'll step across and teach the impudent puppy a lesson!" And, like a warrior thirsting for blood, he walked across the road and stood before the stalker. "Look here, Reefer," he said, "I'm sorry I haven't got the money to pay you. But it's really too bad, you know, to follow me about when I'm doing my best to land that young heiress across the road. Wait a bit longer, man, and you'll get your money, and an order for the finest wedding suit you fellows can turn out." Reefer went off, and Jones re-folished his adored one. "I'm very glad you called my attention to the soundrel," he said. "I spoke to him pretty sternly, and I don't think he'll stare at you again. If he hadn't gone off he'd have been thrashed!" "How brave he is!" she murmured, as she linked her arm in his once more. A. Hard Question Modern Maid—I wish some advice. Old Lady—Certainly, my dear. What is it?

NEGRO TORTURED AGED WOMAN Burned Her Feet With Lighted Candle When Refused Money. Philadelphia, Nov. 14.—Mrs, Mary Ross, widow of a Civil War soldier, was tortured and otherwise brutally treated by a negro, who forced an en- trance into her home at Bridgeport, 18 miles from this city, and demanded her pension money and valuables. ‘The woman, who ts about 70 years of age, was alone in the house, but resolutely refused to obey the intruder. Persist ing in her refusal, the negro bound her hands and feet and tortured her by blistering the soles of her feet with a lighted candle. Still she resisted, and then the negro searched the house. He found nothing, and in his rage he struck the helpless woman with a chair, rendering her senseless. She was found by a milkman, who notified the police. Because of her age, the in- Juries Mrs, Ross received are serious, if not fatal.
