A Summer Reflection.
"It’s hard to tell just what to do,”
said the man who was sitting on the
back porch in his shirt sleeves, accord*
ing to the Washington Star.
• "Yet one ought to get a start with
such brilliant prospects opening up all
over the world,” remarked the next
door neighbor, who was mending a
hole in the fence.
"Yes. But supposing I had gone to
the Klondike. I’d be so far away now
that I couldn’t go and help develop
Cuba. And if Igo to Cuba I'll miss a
chance when the next rich territory
opens up. There’s no use of trying to
deny it. This is a hard life.”
And then be tilted bis chair back
against the wall and went to eleep.

Mr. A. C. Thomae, of Marysville,

oovery than has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years he suffered un

OUTLOOK GOOD.
Farmers Say That They Are in Good
Condition, as a Rule*
1-
Notwithstanding the complaints
about the crops coming from individ
uals it may be said that the farmers in
the city today gave a most encourag
ing account of the outlook, and it is
believed that the conditions generally
are about the same.
Speaking of cotton, one farmer said
that never in all bis life had he seen
finer "weed.” The stalks in all fields
are splendidly developed, and from
what he could see in passing along the
road he believed that the “fruit” was
equally as good He was not prepared
to say positively about the bolls being
plentiful, however.
Another said that he had heard re
ports from some sections of the county
to the effect that there was rotting and
shedding of leaves, but he himself had
seen no evidence of it.
He believed that when the cotton
had been well worked that it was far
belter at this lime than it had been
before at the same season for many
years.
Corn, another said, was looking fine
in all parts of the county, and peas
had grown luxuriantly.
The fruit crop has been abundant,
and thousands of bushels of peaches
literally rotted on the ground.
Speaking of fruit rotting on the
ground, it is not so that thousands of
dollars worth of products thos go to
waste each year in this section.
But that aside, if conditions contin
ue favorable, the farmer in this section
will have the best of crops this year.—-

In Bow road, London, east, one Satu>
day evening, two man, thewofse fordrink,
were fighting tike demons. They were
surrounded by an excited and yelling
crowd, not one of whom attempt'd to in
terfere, and, as usual, there were no ii'Hce
to be seen.
An old lady, carrying' a cross handlei.
market basket, came upon the scene, at
which time the combatants were on the
ground, kicking and punching each other
in a most savage manner. The old lady
paused only long enough to take in the sit
uation. Then she went to work and be
labored the two men about their heads and
bodies with her basket.
This unexpected and energetic attack «
surprised the fighters that, suspending
hostilities, they sat up and stared at their
assailant in mute astonishment.
Then the ridiculousness of the thing
seemed to strike them. They burst into
hearty laughter, and, getting up, took their
coats and went away, apparently quite
friendly, while the eld lady retired tri
umphantly amid the cheers of the crowd.

Bat Bebaefsr Canalders It the Shortest
Game of Hl* Life.
“Some years ago,” salda sporting
mao, “when Schaefer kept a billiard
room in this city, he was always ready
to play all comers who desired a game.
Many strangers arid people unknown to
Schaefer naturally strolled in; many,
too, who probably did not know him.
But it made no difference to Schaefer.
Sometimes str;' iters would desire to
play for money, tut this Schaefer would
never do. To all such propositions he
would say: ‘No, I won’t play for mon
ey, but I’ll tell you what I will do—l
will play a game, the loser to treat the
house.’ , ..
* “One day an old farmer entered the
place, and after wandering about look
ing at the pictures on the walls and ex
amining the tables he asked if there
was any one present who would like to
play him a game of billiards. Schaefer,
as usual, said that he would play the
stranger,
“ ‘How much shall we play for?’ ask
ed the fanner.
“‘I never play for money, replied
Schaefer, ‘but I will play you for the
drinks for the house. *
“ ‘All right,’ said the fanner. ‘How
many points shall we play?’
“ ‘Oh, ’ replied Schaefer demurely in
All the consciousness of his superior
powers, ‘we’ll just play until you are
satisfied, and We will call that a game. ’
“The crowd smiled as the players
prepared for the contest. The balls were
placed on the table, and Schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and it fell
to his lot to open the game.
“The opening shot in a billiard game
is a somewhat difficult one, as most
players know, and Schaefer, probably
through indifference, missed it. He not
only missed it, but left the balls close
together near one of the cushions. It
was what is termed in billiard parlance
a ‘set up.’
“The old farmer carefully chalked
his cue, and after deliberation made the
shot. He then gazed at the balls a mo
ment, laid down his cue and exclaimed:
“ ‘I am satisfied.’
“The score was then 1 to 0 in favor
of the old farmer, but as Schaefer had
agreed to make the game as long or
short as the farmer desired he had to be
satisfied. Schaefer of course had to in
vite all present, including his conqueror,
to partake of the hospitality of the
house. As the crowd laughed and drank
Schaefer remarked that the game was
the shortest he had ever played, and
probably the shortest on record. ” —New
York Tribune.
LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.
Ancient Natchez Indian Who Rebelled
Against Being Sacrificed.
One of the repulsive features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when a mem
ber cf the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several others
of the people should accompany him to
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands of executioners. When the
“great sun,” the hereditary chief of
the whole nation, died, all his wives,
in case he were provided with more
than one, and also several of his sub
jects, were obliged to follow him into
the vale of shadow* The “littlesuns,”
secondary ehiefs, and also members of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this, the in
exorable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl of the royal line of the
“suns.” On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
“I will narrate to you upon this sub
ject, ” writes an old French chronicler
of Louisiana, “the story of an Indian
who was not in a humor to submit to
this law. His name was Etteacteal. He
had contracted an alliance with the
'suns. ’ The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarking in a pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought a refuge in New
Orleans. He placed himself under the
protection of the governor, who was at
that time M. de Bienville, offering him
self to be the governor’s hunter. The
governor accepted his services, and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer, that
he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the
ceremony was over, and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as a candidate for
execution. ” —New Orleans Picayune.
Flower Painters.
About the last literary work complet
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
a beautiful tribute to “Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose” published in
The Woman’s Home Companion, in
which she says:
“As a rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number of artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur
ing of flowers. The reason is not diffi
cult to see. The average woman lias a
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and un
derstand them as men seldom da In
the interpretation of certain subtle
phases of floral life her sensitive tem
perament and the peculiarly sympathetic
feeling that she is apt to bring to het
labor of love especially qualify her for
engaging in this department of picture
making. In point of technical ability
some marvelously clever work has been
done by artists of the gentler sex in the
reproduction of sloven and in the
treatment of difficult subjects. ”
