"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. Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. C.

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.—- Macon News.

B«n th* Kind You Haro Always Bought —a ~ , Ike Woman Who DIS. 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. —London Answers.

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. ” A Bad Beginning.
