Ra- tions had not been forthcoming fer several days, and the boys’ stoniachs tustead of being a healthy convex be gan to be a sickly concave, Bandy was op pieket, and exposure made food all the more necessary, “I'm going foraging,” he said. “Better not,” sald bis comrades “You'fl fall into the hands of the da- goes, and if you deu't you'll get into trouble fordeaving your post.” Sandy preferred to take both risks to enduring the pangs of hunger, . The officer of the picket was worn out and sound asleep, Bo be need not know of Sandy's absence, and if he did be would not dare report Lim since he was bimself Hable to be shot for sleep ing.on post, Sthaging bis Krag-Jorgen sen over his shoulder, Sandy buckled his revolver to his hip and started forth. Seeing a house in the distance, he made for It and on renching It knocked at the docr. A black eyed Spanish girl opened it and stood look ing at Lim suspiciously. “Could you give me a bite?” asked the soldicr, jifting his hat politely, The girl shook her head, Indicating that she did pot understand Kuglish, whereupon Sandy made pantomine motions descriptive of shovel’ng ip food. The girl led the way into the dining room and placed on the table the -remains of lust night's supper. Sandy exercised gregt ingenuity in Pantomiming his gratitude. then sat down. and fell to. Mennwhile the girl left the room. After the soldler had eaten his ON he stuffed bis pockets for bis comrades, then arose from the ta ble and, taking bis gun. was-abeut-to depart when the girl came in, appar ently in great excitement, and, pan tomiming In her turn, gave him to un derstand that the Spaniards were com regarding the regulation of trusts by moans of tariff legislation. The action of Gen. Henderson is a source of surprise. and regret to his political friends.

A SERMON TO SUIT, The Folks Who Paid For the Dis- course Got What They Wanted, Many Maine people who live In a} certain part of Cumberland county will well remember one Abner—so he Was} always called In bis town. Abner was | the wit of the village, and be was! commonly selected to take cliarge ot | funerals because he was about the only man in town who had time hang- ing on lis hands. A citizen died, a man who bever amounted to much, who Was never. positively wicked, because that would bave required more of an effort than be wus willing to muke. fle was, however, far cnough from be- ing a good citizen, and Abner knew li as well as anybody else. Abner was requested to ask a certain | minister to conduct the service, and he | bitched up his old horse and drove to bis house. The minister said be wonld attend and then tried to get_a little in- formation concerning the late lawent- ed. “What sort of a man was he? asked. “Well, about the same as no sort dl @ man at oll.” replied Abner frankly. } “I suppose his loss will be dceply| felt in the community?” said the min- ister. “They're all bearing up well under it,” said Abner slowly. “Was- he a -Christian?” minister. “If he'd been accused of It. the ver a | dict would have been not guilty =\ | \he asked the the jury wouldn't have left their seats, replied Abner cheerfully. “Did he attend church?” asked the) minister a bit anxiously. ls “I never heard of his doing it,” said | Abner. “Hlow did be die?’ continued the | minister. “Just the same as he lived, sort of naturally,” sald Abner. “I don't see how I'm to preach much ofa sermon under such circumstances,” said the minister. “The neighbors all. said they didn’t! think they wanted inuch of a sermon, | and so they sent me over to sce you,” said Abrer. The minister pocketed bis wrath and a five dollar bill, and after the funeral the satisfied Abner-said, “Well, we got | just what we wanted, b’gosh.”—Lewis- ton Journal. Possing of Inéinpenanbles.

Opening a trapdoor, she pointed to a sfalrense leading to the cellar Sandy descended, and the door was closed, Then he heard the sound of heavy furniture being moved on to the trap, and it began to dawn upon lim that be was a prisoner. Having got In, the frst thing he did was to look about: him to discover how he could get out. There was but one little square window,/near the ceiling, which was covered with an iroh grating. Consequently Sandy was aa sufenaaratina trap, Le bad not brwen there long before the girl, re conipanied by a Spanish officer, ap peared at the window.

A chimney was built from the cellar, where It was of sione, with no opentug, but the house was very old and the stones had been Joorely: put together. Sandy tugeed at one of them and succecded in. removing KH. This loosened two or three more, and he put his bead and shoulders through The chimney was large cnough for him to pass through ‘it, and he deter mined to climb up.

Sandy was pretty strong and succeeded In Ufting It a few inches. Through the crack he saw the Spanish officer sitting with bis arms nnd head on a table, asleep. Sandy's movements from this point were conducted with the utmost care Bracing himself, he gave the stone an other lft and, drawing his revolver, | put_it lengthwise between one end and | the floor, This was a critical moment. If the officer awakened, Bandy wis lost: esting only a moment, he gave the stong ove more tug and got it on end. Then he gently rested it against the fireplace and in another moment was sitting on a coping. At this womett a loose stone became detached and dropped to -the cellar, making a great polse. The — officer raised his herd. and great was his ns tonisiment at seeing Sandy sitting -tn the fireplace. For a moment be seemed paralyzed, Then, drawing a pistol, he was about to fire when hia arm fell limp and bis pistol dropped on the floor. Sandy had winged him, “Hands up! \Bout face! March’ cried Sandy, but as the officer did not uhderstand English his captor was obliged to resort to pantomime again, which the officer, with a revolver | polnted at him, was not slow In under: standing.

A year ogo the president issued au order for the removal of fences from the public land# in the west.

Two Oleo Questions. Two puzzling questions have already come up in connection with the new oleo law. The manufacturers wish to use yellow butter for coloring thetr stuf and thus avoid paying the teu cent tax. It Is expected that Secretary of the Treasury Shaw will decide that such colored olvo will be lable to the tax on adulterated butter. Another grievance is that of parties who export a grade of butter used by South Amer- lean =natives, This contains large quantities of ealt, which are deeded to preserve the butter. While this Is not properly “butter.” these exporters say that they should not be compelled.to. pay the tax eon “aculterated” butter. Thelr nunual export is said to be about €,000,000 pounds.—Rural New Yorker. Value of Mack or Pe=t. Recent experiments at the New Hampshire’ experiment station show that, necording to the analyses of mact: and barnyard manure, three tons of macure contain 234% pounds nitrogen, 15 pounds of phoxphoric aeid, 2344 pounds petash, The same quantity of muck contains 27 pounda of nitrogen. On the basis of these figures it Is es- timated,-go fur as fert!izing_constitu- ents are concerned, that thre tons of mapure are equivalent to ten anda half tons of muck, The fertilizing value of muck. therefore;-is considered too low for long transvortation. The characte? | of awicks varies greatly, and It is only the richest of them thut would Ukely prove of economic value. Farmers In Town, Can any one subscribe to a really good renson why farmers rent their farms and move to town when the debts are paid and a chance comer for rest and enjoyment for the family? Why not stay thete, make foprove- ments, beautify the farni, make it o center of at traction and employ good men and women Instead of moving to town and there standing around, doing nothing? The business men bave no re- spect for these people. ln fact, they ate out of their proper sphere. ; Tile Drain Clogged by Fungus.
