••••••••••••••••••••••••a
Bob Barrington was bne of those
youngsters who are dead set agaluBt a
• humdrum life. Bob’s father, when the
boy was fifteen years of age, secured
him a position in a friend’s counting
room, but the friend soon told Mr. Bar
rington that Bob was not fitted for a
commercial life.
“What's the trouble?’’ asked the par
ent •. '
“Well, the life’s too cramped. What
we want are young fellows for cog
wheels. They should go through the
same routine every day; never nsk
questions or make suggestions, but do
what they are told to do and no more.
If they Bee anything that looks to
them a bit—well, shrewd, they’re not
to flare up and call it dishonest Our
business is a machine, and every part
muBt fit Into every other part”
“I see,” said Mr. Barrington. “Bob
Is not In your line.”
Bob was withdrawn and asked what
he wished to do. He said he thought
he would like to get a breath of fresh
air, which, being explained, meant that
he would like to go where natural In
stincts had a fuller play. To state the
case more definitely, he proposed to go
West and be a cowboy. His father,
thinking that If his son had some ex
pedience In herding sheep during a
blizzard he would be glad to come
hbme and go .to .wopkrto 'a civilized
way, assented, j BobJ wpq well outfit
ted, being givta-'a thousand dollars,
Which be was told must last him a
year. He told his father that he didn’t
want ahy more than enough to take
him to his destination and he wouldn't
•p^lll ®n him for any more. So he hand
ed back all but $200 and started on
his journey.
The new life suited him exactly. He
made a cowboy of himself for awhile,
but, having displayed considerable
nerve In several fracases, he was elect
ed sheriff, at which calling-he made a
success.
One of his exploits during his term
of office was the hunting down of a
notorious desperado named Donohue.
The outlaw came Into the region over
which Sheriff Barrington had jurisdic
tion and commenced a series of robber
ies that terrorized every one. Barring
ton made it his business to capture the
man without killing him. Not that
such a kindly act was obligatory on
him. Indeed,, his constituents would
have much preferred that -Donohue
Bhould be taken dead, for, In that case,
the territory would be spared the ex
pense of a trial. The truth was, Bar
rington never quite succeeded in eradi
cating civilization from his system and
felt a repugnance against making an
executioner of himself.
One day the sheriff was missed, and
nothing was heard of him till one day
He reappeared, with Mr. Donohue in a
wagon, bound hand and foot. A meet
ing of citizens was called and, after a
vote of thanks to Sheriff Barrington,
decreed that a committee be appointed
to hang the prisoner. Bob claimed the
captive as his own and Insisted that
he be turned over to a epurt for trial.
This excited much opposition, on the
ground that there was no evidence that
Bonohue had murdered any one. Con
sequently he could never be banged.
However,. It could not be denied that’
the prisoner belonged to Barrington,
and, since he would not consent to the
hanging, the man must be sent to a ’
place where there was a court Here,
top, Barrington stood In the way of
justice. Certain persons who knew of
murders committed by the accused of
which there, were no eyewitnesses
kindly consented to perjure themselves
that a proper punishment might be In
flicted. The sheriff would not-consent
to this, and when the judge proposed
to give the convict all the Imprison
ment the law allowed Barrington stood
out for two years. The judge, being a
'stanch supporter of the sheriff, acced
ed to his wishes.
One would suppose that saving a
man’s life and cutting down a term of
ten years at hard labor to two would
touch the heart of the subject of this
magnanimity. Instead, when Dono
hue was taken away to serve his term
he said:
"Sheriff, ef ye hadn’t sneaked up on
me and got the drop when I wasn’t
lookin’ for you you wouldn’t ’a’ got
■me. Howsomever, I’ll git 'out o’ Jail
In two years from this yere present
time, and It’ll be you as’ll have to look,
out fur me.”
“Thank you kindly for mentioning
your benevolent Intentions,’’ replied
Bob. “I’ll try and be in a position to
congratulate you on having attained
your freedom and keep from getting
holed at the same time.”
When Bob had been in the west a
year his father asked him If be didn’t
wish to return and take up civiliza
tion again. Bob wrote that there was
too much of a mixture between the
good and the bad in civilization; he
preferred the two separate, as they
were in the west. The better class of
.people In the west mnde no pretense
to culture, but they treated one anoth
er like Christians. When a man Was
bad he was bad all over and didn’t
pretend to be nnything else. The con
sequence was that there was no mis
taking either the good or the bad.
When Donohue had served some
eighteen months of his term Bob’s
mother wrote her son that his father
was ill and heggod him to come home.
Bob sighed, tumbled Into the fine
clothes he bnd worn when he reached
the west and started for home. He
had not worn a boiled Bhlrt for a long
time and felt In one now as If he were
being garroted. He found^hls father
In very bad health, and his continued
presence at home was necessary. He
therefore yielded to his parents’ re
quest and determined to remain with
them.
When Donohue was released to re
commence his preying upon the world
the first person he proposed to prey
upon was ex-Sherlff Barrington. Bob
during the administration of the. du
ties of his office had 'received a great
many threats, none of which had ma
terialized. When the two yenrs of
Donohue's term bnd rolled around Bob
had forgotten all about It Besides, he
had left his old stamping ground and
did not conceive It possible that a des
perado In the west would take the
trouble or have the means to travel a
couple ..of - thousand miles to hunt
him up. '
Donohue was a man with consider
able'pride, which had It not been mis
directed might have been of advantage
tq him., Qe had made a statement at
the time of his conviction and he pro
posed to carry It but at any cost. He
had not been out of jail long when he
hod accumulated sufficient valuables
and cash to pay his expenses east,
and having. obtained Barrington’s ad
dress set out to find him and take his
threatened revenge.
On reaching the city of hfs destina
tion he realized that he would not
have'the- same advantages in killing
a man as In the west It was pos
sible there to do the deed, light out
seek other fields, and there was a
chance of never being called to ac
count for bis crime. Not so In a .city.
To start gun play on a street would
be to collect a crowd, followed by an
officer, and there was no chance of
escape except by the law’s delays, and
even then funds were required for the
purpose. These Imperfections In le
gal Justice did not make It less desir
able for honest persons than the code
of the revolver or Judge-Lynch.
Donohue therefore decided to steal up
on bis enemy as his enemy had stolen
up On him. But this was not so easy
In civilization as In a new country.
Bolts separated him from the man he
wanted, and. he was not used to this
way of getting at a man. However, he
saw no other way and resolved to ef
fect an entrance Into Barrington’s
home at night and do the job there
when Bob was asleep.
When Barrington had returned to his
home he had tossed his revolver Into
a bureau drawer, and there it remain
ed. One night Bob awoke suddenly.
He did not know what It waB thal
awakened him. During his term ol
service as sheriff, when he had many
enemies, he had been a light sleepqr,
and the slightest sound would rouse'
him. Believing now that there Was
some cause for his broken sleep he lis
tened and soon heard what turned out
to be the raising of ■ a sash on the
main floor with a jimmy. Springing
out of bed he seized an electric light
he kept In his room and remembering
the revolver in the drawer took It In
his other band. It had not been re
loaded since his homecoming.
Doing out Into the hall he beard a
sound as of some one lighting') on a
floor after getting In a window. Step
ping In his stocking feet down the
stairway he went Into the living room
and ensconced himself behind the door.
His position was admirable. He could
shoot through the crack made .by the
door and the wall. He bad not been
there long before by the dim light com
ing from tbe street lamps without be
saw a figure coming through the hall.
When It was about to turn to go up
stairs Bob flashed bis electric light with
his left hand while with his right he
thrust the muzzle of bis revolvei
through the crack of the door.
“Hello, Donohuel” he said. “Is thal
you? Hands up! Quick, or I'll flrel”
Donohue, blinded by the bright light,
was completely at his enemy’s mercy.
He raised both bands at. once. In his
right hand was a revolver.
“Put your weapon on the stairs,” said
Bob. “Be quick about It, but don’l
make a noise.”
Donohue had no choice but to do as
he was told. He. laid his revolver on a
staff about as high as his bead.
“Now back away from it That’ll
do. Stay where you are till I come.”
Leaving his fortification, Bob went
Into the hall and drove his man Into
the dining room. There he turned or
a light
VI saved your life,” he said, “and cut
your time down to two years. This l£
your gratitude. I’m going to give you
what you deserve. It won’t be less
than ten years.”
The man looked tbe picture of de
spair. Ten more years in stripes! The
prospect was too much for him.
“I’d rather have you settle me with
a little lead!” be groaned. “You musl
at least give me credit for sayln’ that
I was goln’ to do It”
“That’s something in your favor, and
you have shown a perseverance In fol
lowing me up which If exerted In a
better cause would have brought you
comfort Have you ever been mar
ried?”
"Yes; to a woman I don’t deserve
She left me long ago, takin’ the kldt
with her.”
Donohue's voice trembled.
“Suppose I help you to retrieve youi
past”
"You couldn’t do that”
“I can. with your help.”
An hour later a plan was arranged
by wblcb Donohue should start afresh.
He made good, with Barrington’s as
sistance, and a time came when he was
reunited to his wife and children.
He and they worship the ground Bot
Barrington treads.
BYRON’S UNHAPPINESS.
His toy, Frozen Mannered Wife and
His Cruel Parents.
Marie Corelli, the English novelist
says poets do not really love. If they
did they could not write about It
They Imagine they love. And their
imagination embraces many fair ob
jects.
“Byron,” she says, “was an unhappy
man. But he wus not os unhnppy ns
he Imagined himself to be. He found
pleasure, even inspiration, In dwelling
on his own troubles. Muny poets do,”
She tells us that Byron's mother bad
been a Mlsb Cordon before she mar
ried the shiftless and dissolute Captain
Byron, the poet's fnther, and that amid
constant quarrellngs, thrashings nnd
unjust abuse nnd the most coarse and
Intemperate language poor Byron be
gan hlB career.
“With such a father and such n
mother,” says Miss Corelli, “the won
der 1b that he managed to store 'his
mind with so many Impressions. pt
beauty and grandeur and that he was
able, to lift his soul above his surround
ings to such a height of intellectual
power. His mother’s furious temper
and her cruel mockeries stung him, not
Into a reply, but Into .silent and lonely
brooding on bis wrongs. «
“He : himself describes the Bense of
horror and humiliation which came
over him' when. In a fit of passion, she
called hhn ‘a lame brat’ When Sir
Walter Scott met him he. said be should
scarcely have noticed It In fact the
great novfellst was ns lame aS the great
poet, only .Byron’s brilliant personality
made him, more than Scott, an object
of comment His marriage was a fail
ure. it was n fortunate thing for lit-'
erature that bis wife left him after
one year of matrimony..
“Had she remained with him his
genius might have perished under the
freezing Influence of such a paragon
of propriety .and dullness. William
Howttt tells us tbnt Lady Byron, bad
‘frozen moments. 1
“ ‘I hnye seen her,’ he says, ‘come
down' In the morning as If she bad
lain all night on a glacier, frozen, as it
were, to the very soul, and no efforts
on the part of those around her could
restore her for the day to any genial
social warmth.’ ” ♦
“The Wind Is In the Palm Trees.”
But the glory of palm trees! No plc.
tures or description In books had ever
made me realize that before “The
wind is in the palm- trees” had been
for me but a haunting phrase In Mr,
Kipling’s most famous ballad, but
when the bellboy threw open the door
of my room (In Nassau of the Baha
mas) looking Into the hotel gardens 1
cried, "Wbat Is that sound?” for my
ears had been Instantly filled with a
delicious rippling, as though the room
was alive with Invisible rivers of ‘run
ning water. I ran to the window. It
was the wind in the palm trees—the
freshest, purest, gladdest sound to be
heard In the world.—Richard le Galli-
enne In Harper’s Magazine.
A Delicate, Tasteful Breakfast.
Apropos of monotonous unimagina
tive breakfasts, Thomas Love Peacock
once drew- up the menu for breakfast
“for a man of taste.” "Coffee, tea,
cream, eggs, ham, tongue, cold fow'T"
he wrote, "all these are good and be
speak good knowledge In him who sets
them forth. But tbe touchstone is
fish. - Anchovy is the first step, prawns
and shrimps the second, potted char
and lamprey the third, but lobster Is,
Indeed, matter for a May morning and
demands a rare combination of virtue
and knowledge In him who sets it
forth.”—London Standard.
8cotch Judges’ Frugality.
Scotland might safely be backed at
least to rival England In the matter of
frugality among her judges. There is
Dean Ramsay’b story- of the dinner
party given by Lord Polkemmet When
the covers were removed the guests
were surprised to find' that the dinner
consisted of veal broth, a roast fillet of
veal, veal cutlets, a florentlne (an old
Scottish dish composed of veal), a calf’s
head and caff’s foot Jelly. Observing
the sensation. Lord Polkemmet ex
plained: "On ay. It’s a’ canf. When we
kill a beast we just eat up ae side and
down the Other.”—London Chronicle.
Mammoth Cave.
“To me the Mammoth cave of Ken
tucky is simply a portion of tbe Grand
Canyon of Colorado underground,”
says George. Wharton James, the trav
eler and author,, in' "Our American
Wonderlands.” “Almost all the phe
nomena of the great cave are revealed
In the Grand cabyon region, and. given
time enough, it Is not Inconceivable
that the Mammoth cave might develop
Into a Grand canyon region of Its
own.”
Kept Them Quiet. .
■ "I went- to a symphony concert yes
terday afternoon.”
"Did you enjoy It7” *
“It was the most wonderful experi
ence I ever bod.. Just think of sitting
In the same room with 2.000 women
and not one of them saying a word.”—
Melbourne Age.
Disappearing Cannon.
“Some of our cannon are disappear
ing.” remarked the lieutenant
“Weil, things will disappear when
you have careless help,” responded the
lady who was going over the fort “1
find that a great trouble about keeping
bouse.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Governess—Why don’t you use your

RUNNINGS THE BLOCKADE.
It WaB Successfully Done Ages Ago-at
the 8lege of Syracuse.
Blockndlng nnd blockade running Is
not a young war meusure by any
means. One of the enrllost authentic
Instances of the practice dates buck
two centuries before thetChrtstlnn era.
Marcus Claudius Mnrcelfiis, commnnd.
ing a powerful Roman army and an
efficient fleet, laid siege to Syracuse, a
rich city on tbe Isle of Sicily. Car-
tboLfc, Rome’s great rival on the north
shore or Africa, one of the great son
powers of ttaut time, was not at nil
pleased with the lden of Rome captur
ing Syracuse, n free city and probably
a. source of great revenue through
trade with Cnrtbugo.
Syracuse wus o well fortified city,
and there seemed - to be no Immediate
prospect of Home taking It by storm,
bo Marcellus decided to starve Its In
habitants Into submission. Ho put a
cordon of ships across tbo entrance to
the harbor and urrayed his nrmy on
the land side bo that no succor could
come from without. But he had under-
estimated the boldness of the .Cartha
ginians. There was no question of
contraband hi those dnys—conditional
or other.
In their swift oar driven gnlleys tbe
sailors of tbe African city euslly elud
ed the ships set to watch the port nnd
icarried provisions nnd war material
-Into the beleaguered city. So success
ful were tbe Carthaginians In getting
supplies Into the city—running the
.blockade—that had It not fallen through
treachery it, would have been ennbled
to hold out Indefinitely. While block-
'adeB probably had been established be
fore on a small scale, the blockade of
Syracuse is one of the earliest In
stances where the efficiency of u block
ade by sen was of vital importance in
determining the success af war on an
Important seaport. — Muusey’s Maga
zine.
LEGEND OF THE DONKEY.
Showing Why the Arabs Beat the
Brute With Impunity.
In his article on his Journey to Baby
lon, in Harper’s, William Warfield tells
- a legend prevailing among the nntlves
bjr which they Justify beating of don
keys, but not horses.
“We Btopped to ohnnge our mules. In
the roadway before the khun sat a
group of Arabs. A' servant supplied
them with little cups of tea from a
rude samovar. We saluted them, and.
taking our places In the circle, wo
were served In 'turn. Some one In the
dark doorway was thumping away on
a drum. A boy came out of tbe kban
beating n poor- lame donkey with fly
Infested sores. 1 turned to one- of my
neighbors:
“ ‘Is it not cruel for that boy to beat
a’|ame donkey In tbnt way?’
. la'Effendl, It Is the will of QodV
,,^/But you do not nllow horses or
camels to be benten thus.’
“ 'Effendl, the donkey Is not like
the horse, nor yet Is he like the camel.
The reason is this: Upon a certain day
the donkeys went beforo Allnh and
complained that they, were grievously
beaten by men, so that life was a
greuteV burden than they could bear,
Then sold Allnh: "I cannot make men
cease from beating you. It 1b no sin,
□either does It cause them any grant
loss. But I will help you. I will give
you so thick n hide that, however
much you are beaten, you shall., not
suffer."
*,’ ‘So,.’ said my Informant. 'It is of no
consequence If men beat a donkey. So
thick a skin did Allah give him that
after he dies men use it In the making
of drums, and tbe donkey continues
to be beaten after death.’ ”
Effects of Frost.
An egg expands when It Is frozen
and breaks its shell Apples contract
so niticlt that n full barrel will shrink
until the top layer Is a foot below the
chine. When tffe frost Is drawn out
tbe apples assume their ■ normal size
and fill up tbe barrel again. Some va
rieties are not appreciably Injured by
being frozen If tbe frost Is drawn out
gradually. ‘Apples will carry safely In
a refrigerator car. while the mercury Is
registering fully 20 degrees below zero.
Potatoes, being so largely composed of
water, are easily frozen. Once touched
by frost they are ruined.—Northwest
Trade.
Devilfish. ,
In Japan devilfish weighing 200
pounds are sometimes caught. These
fish are amphibious; they are ofthn
seen wabbling on their tentacles like
giant spiders In search of patches of
sweet potatoes. The natives kill them
with efubs. In the water they ure
caught In Jars lowered to the bottom,
which the octopus enters, thinking
them a good retreat from which to
catch his food.
Discouraging.
After a mother tins taught her son
Dot to keep Ids hands In his pockets,
to turn bis toes out and Dot to sniff
bis nose or smack his lips when he
eats. It must be discouraging to hear
people remark a month after bln mar
rlage-' that his wife mnde him.—
Wichita Eagle.
8and In Holland.
In Holland sand Is plentiful nnd in
expensive and Is used Instead of hay
and straw ns beds for cows It keeps
the animals perfectly clean, requiring
only a slight raking in the morning to
softeD and freshen It.—London Tele
graph.
Perfectly Tame.
Tp say of a man that he will make a
good husband Is much the Hame sort
of compliment as to say of a horse
that he Is perfectly safe for a woman
to drive.—Puck.
The Potash Situation
By Dr. A. M. Soule,
Roughly speaking, the United States has Imported annually from Ger
many something over 1)00,000 tonB 6f potash. Quite ono-half of this quantity
wsh in the form of knlnlt, and more than one-l'ourth in the form of muriate.
As a result of the embargo placed on the exportation of potash by the Ger
man government, It has lieen impossible to obtain any of this material In
considerable quantity for some months past. Hence, the farmers of the
south who have been the chief users of potash for agricultural purposes are
face to luce with the problem of raising another crop without being able
to obtain any of this materia! from the source on whloh they have previously
depended, it has been said that potash could be obtained from local sources
to a considerable extent, whloh Is true, ant) naturally all of these sources
should be utilized In so l'ar as practical, but the demand for potash In com-'
merce Is so great that the price Of the .product available from most sources
has reached a prohibitive figure so far as the farmer Is concerned.
Potash In Cotton Seed Meal
Must the farmer, therefore, attempt to raise his cropB without any potash
whatsoever during the present year, or are there some local supplies on
which he can depend with advantage und profit? A review of the situation
shows that thbre Is some potash In tobacco stems, and, of course, wood
ashes contain a small amount of this material. No doubt, farmers will
gladly utilize these sources of supply In so'far as they can. In addition,
there is the potash contained In cotton seed meal, a product manufactured In
large quantities In every southern state, and which contains not only a large
amount of nitrogen and a-taif'lundunt of phosphoric acid, but a very consid
erable amount of potash as well. On this aocount cotton Beed meal becomes
exceedingly valuable to tfie southern farmer os a fertilising constituent the
present year, for it is a well-known fact that many of Uie soils in the South
Atlantic'states are low In this element. Particularly is this true of those
soils which contain ‘a considerable amount of sand or whloh are used for the
production of truck or garden crops whloh naturally make a heavy demand
on potash salts.
cotton seed meal be mixed with 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate, a very good
fertilizer for many of our staple crops can be obtained, end a formula pro
vided which carries one per cent of potnkh, an Important point to bear In
mind In -view of the scarcity and high price of this material. 1
Plant Food Value Of $38.17
There are Borne who are wondering whether they can utilize cotton seed
meal or, not because of Its high price at t.lio present time, It would appear,
however, that available nitrogen from almost any of the standard sources
will cost tills year between 18' and 120 cents a pound. Presuming that it
does cost 20 cents a pound, the nitrogen-In a ton of choice cotton seed meal
would be worth $28.24, If cold phosphate coBt $10.00 a ton, the available
phosphoric aold in It is worth 5 cents a pound. Therefore, the amount or
ihlB element In a ton of choice cotton seed meal Is- worth $2.07. Allowing
20 cents a pound for available potash, the amount of this element In a ton
of choice cotton seed meal would be worth $7.20. In other words, the
phosphorlo acid and potaBh contained would bo worth $8.93, making the
plant food constituents on this basis In a ton of choice cotton seed meal
worth $38.17.
Qf course, it may be argued by some that 20 cents 1b too much to allow
for potash, but available potash equal in eyory respect to that contained In,
cotton seed meal can probably not he bought, for less than this figure. There
fore, it Beams only juBt that the meal Bliould be credited with the potash,
it contains at approximately the price whloh available plant food' of thls|
character would bring at the present time. Of course, the potash contained
in cotton seed meal becomes- readliy available, and so Can be utilized by-
plants, to advantage, and In view of the large amount of this material which
Is manufactured in the South. It should be conserved with the greatest cafe
and utilized so as to make-it of the greatest possible • service in crop pro
duction during the present year. Of course,, the meal should. normally bo
fed, but whore tills cannot be done. It muBt still be regarded as one of the
beBt and most economical sources lor providing potash for the crops we ex-
phot to' raise jhls year. - i
Potash Value Not Appreciated
It Is difficult to understand why these facts- have not been aa clearly and
fully recognized by our farmers as they should have been. Even during the '
past year large quantities of cotton seed meal have been Bhlpped abroad'
and Into the northern and western stateB where It is prized not only for Itsi
feeding value, but for Its -fertilizing' value as well. Especially has the fertil
izing value qf this product been recognized In foreign countries, and through'
the use of cotton seed meal and the proper conservation of the resulting
drOpplngs t.he farmers of Denmark, and to some considerable extent of Hol
land, England and Germany, have been able to build up their boIIb and make
them productive, though originally, they could only have been regarded as of
an Interior character from the standpoint of an agriculturist.
While the amount of potash contained In cotton Beed meal will not enablei
the farmers to use nearly as 'imlch of this element eb they previously applied,
It Is well to remember that "half a loaf Is better than no loaf at all."
Considerable Benefit To Be Derived
A special effort should, therefore, be made to supply ae much of this ele
ment as practicable under conditions where Its use must be regarded as most
desirable and essential. There may be some who will consider the ten to
twenty pounds of potash which It may be possible to apply per acre through-
the JudlclouB use of cotton seed meal so small an amount as to exert no
appreciable Influence on the crop. Naturally, the Soil and the orop do con
stitute Important factors, but on many of our soils, even those which seein
to be fairly well supplied with potash, considerable benefit has been obtained
from using moderate amounts of this element in the past, and wherever
this happens to be, anything like the limiting factor in erdp production, the
addition to ten or twenty pounds per acre becomes a matter of very great.
Importance to the farmer, and will certainly favorably Influence the yield
obtained from his land. > -1
