After that bitter fight with Mo Droedy the broken old man, half stanned and half frenzied, retired to his country hooso at Eiver Manor. There for near ly two years he did nothing. s Then in 189S ho conceived the idea of writing bis reminiscences. . t The work progressed with surprising rapidity. Hia memory, which covered three-quarters of a century, rarely fail ed him, and in four months he had fin ished his reminiscences np to he Mo- Creedy episode. There ho halted. The record of his long life was one aeries of triumphs or of defeats that were more honorable than successes. The McOeedy cpisodo, . however, was so humiliating in its every aspect that it seemed that the old senator could not bring himself to tell the story, yet it was necessary, u there was no one but himself . who . oould vindicate his honor. If there was to be an explanation, he must make it Still tbo bare mention of 1890 and 1891 mado him wince, and every time be spoke the name McOroedy he wonld jink into a state of profound melon oholy. . It's warm today, Walnwright," he vcould say to his secretary. "I'll work Conignt." Then at night ho would say: "I can'' work tonight Tomorrow morning shall feol more. like it " This went on for a fortnight, and the reminiscences consequently remained' stationary at this point "In 1891 1 became the candidate of my party against McOreedy." This spelled monotony for the young secre tary and melancholia for thw fiifl,, rota. but there the matter stood. Ono hot midsummer day young Wain- Wright sat in the library at River Man or idly reading 'Treasure Island.' Sena tor Stuart, sitting in a deep' leather chair, was turning over a file of. news papers which had iiod about him in 1891 with skill and pertinacity. His expres sion was that of a man on the rack. The butler came in with a card. "It's Mr. Nichols," said the senator. glancing at the card. "He's probably come to ask for something for those boys. I can't imagine what's loft to ask for. He's run the gamut from blankets to ice cream. I wish yon would him, Wain wright" i The Rev. Peter Nichols was the rec tor of the Manor Dale church. Fate had intended him for a Roman nosed mar tyr and thon, changing hor plans, had playfully tossed him into the well fed- well groomed community -that spread itself np hill and down dale around Manor Dale for six months of the year. The oommunlty built anor supported a bcjeweled little church, and it built and furnished a gray stone rectory in which was installed the Rev. Peter among down pillows, Venetian glass, Florentine frames and Persian rugs. He endured it nobly, with only an occa sional sigh for the deal table and straight backed chairs which he had once looked for, in a pariah where the children were hungry and the men and womenlnoeed of reform and periodically out of wort The Rev. Peter was not A man, how ever, to sjobtnit long to easy conditions. Having no "poor" of hia own, he eoo- ceived the Idea of importing some. Ac cordingly that summer to ragged boys cheerfully famished him by a fresh air society in New York. These boys the rector placed triumphantly In a small farmhouse in charge of two young athletes whom he snatched red banded from the Manor Dale golf links, The guests were not allowed to kuiguhai Without comforts that nrigfat be had for the asking, and the rector's pariah calls that, anrnmcr had starve object other than mere aimless conformity to so cial conventions. , The favor which lie asked of Senator Stuart that afternoon was bis permis sion to allow toe boys to spend the lot lowing day at the little Like In the Rlv er Manor grounds. When this permis sion was granted, threugh Walnwright, the rector aaked about toe health of the old statesman. WainwTighl told him of the hopelessly depressed condition Into which the old man bad sunk. Ha ought to have a change of inter- eata, " said the rector promptly. "Per suade bia to drive over )o the lake to morrow to see the boys enjoying his hospitality." Senator Stuart shook his bead gloom. Uy when Walnwright later suggested this to him. -No, no, tumorrow 1 snail be too busy, " said he. "I have planned to get p early and workr steadily mil midnight, I shall have no time to go sMvtng abont (be country." The next aftesvaaoa, though, he r auiged hia saind.

Ho himself al Ways "drove out in an ancient wheeled contrivance, the slnglo seat of which rose a sheer ton foet from the ground. The effect of this ancient phenomenon, drawn by a dashing, high stepping thor oughbred, was generally paralyzing to the beholder. Quiet form horses had been seen to shy and cavort like young colts if it presented itself unexpectedly. The mere sigbt-of it rolling along the road was onoo known to transfix with motionless amazement a whole posse of golfers invited from afar to show their skill on the Manor Dale links. As the old senator drove along over the hard, shady roads that afternoon he talked for the first time frankly to his secretary abont his mental depression. "I haven't slept for three nhthts run ning, Wainwright," saidhe. 'l seem to bo going through that wholo cam paign again. Strange how every one turned against me then, wasn't it? In Now York, you. know, the very street children used to cry out against me. I wouldn't hhvo minded all this SO years ago; when i was a young man, for I was barely 70 then, and ono throws things oil at 70 that remain to torture one at 90. " Wainwrieht sought to convince him that in time the truth would ."be known, and the wrongs done him in ono of thd worst campaigns in Ameri can political life would be righted. But be took a gloomy view of it He doubt ed if he could ever convinocf the ' publio that he was innocent of the base charges wun which McUreody had smirched his honor. They were still discussing this ques tion as they approached the luko. When they made the sharp turn that brings the little lake into full view, they saw the boys lying only a fow foot away wk Her the trees in that lazy indifference which in tho case of boys betokens a willingness to play the imp if some ex traneous object presents itself oppor tunely. The extraneous object that made its opportune appearance in this case was the senatorial gig. As it approached one of the boys arose to his feet "Pipe de fash'nable electric coach I" ho shouted with sarcastio emphasis. The others had already ."piped' it, and, its though moved by a single dia-, bolio telepathio impulse, they began to "shy" things at tho queer equipage. The Rev. Peter and his two athlotio aids, who were some distance away ex amining, tho rowboats, come flying around the lake toward tho scone of ao- tion. For one brief and happy moment Wainwright cut out right and left with the whip, stopping only when the old man's hand was laid forcibly on the handle. "Nevermind; turn around, "said he. "Those boys recognizomo, don't you see? xurn arouua. ' Wainwright turnod the horse about "Those young savages," ho said be tween his teeth. "They don't recognize you, 1 assure yon. It's this high, old fashioned baggy that has taken them by surpriso. " ; "There's nothing about this boggy to excite animosity or Insult said tbo senator with dignity. "It was built to ardor for me only a short time ago in 1861 or 1803, if I remember. I know, Wainwright, why those boys behaved as they did. It is kind of you to try and explain it in some other way, but yon sue I remember too well. Have the goodness not to refer to the incident again. I wonld like to get homo. I want to do some work before dinner. I have wasted too much time this after noon." ' When they reached home, he went to the library, walking as though he were unusually weak and HL Far three hours he sat idly In his armchair in tho libra ry, and then when dinner was announc ed, ho ordered it brought to him there. At 8 o'clock the Rev. Peter called, and Wainwright went to the ball to see him. His apologies for the conduct of his boys were sincere and profoao. It was the sight of that gig," said bo. "The boys meant no discourtesy to yon or to Senator Stuart It seems it's custom of i the neighborhood where they live to throw missiles at tho unex pected." It's a custom of boys generally. may say. I reoollect In my own boy hood, once, obeying an irresistible im- pnlso, and turning the, hose upon pompous old But that's neither herd historic, magnetic smile that had won him votes for nearly seven decades.

I had no fears, yet I watched it curiously when first we be gan to lift tho bay. Our barn takes in bay at tbe end, from outside, eo that tt Is not tied together above at this end. We often banlod np as much as 1,000 pounds of bay at a draft Aud not tbe least fraction of an inch of giving was anywhere noted, although I watched It very closely. awaat reeate Ulpa, The main crop of slips should be set oot in June, Tboso set out in July are not apt to produce full crops unless tbey are of an early variety and tbe season exceptionally favorable. Vines from tbe first slips sot 'out may be used if the supply of slips is short Experi ments indicato. tlist there is little or no difference in a crop grown from pieces of vine or one grown from slips. The Southern Cultivator, the source of this advice, pronontiocs it a good Way fc) put one vines to open a furrow 00 tup of bed and lay vines along In it two or three vines side by sido, and then cover them at intervals, leaving por tions of vinos uncovered at usual dis tances of potato bills, say 15 to tO inches Whan bills are too crowded. tbey do not make large tubers. If the ground Is damp, vines managed above root quite readily. I wish to call the attention of insurers in Alamance county to tho fact that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in 1893 by the late firm of Tate & Albright, is still in the ring, There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better facilities for placing large linos of insurance, thaLcan give low er rates or better indemnity.

Morning root. The flag of Admiral Montijo, which floated over tho Spanish srfiadron at Manila prior to Sunday morning, May lit, when Admiral Dewey sailed into the haibor and wited out tho ships flying the saf fron flag, will soon arrive1 in Ral eigh. Through the instrumentality of Mayor Rims tho most highly prized trophy of the war with Spain in ad dition to two other flags .that were taken from Spanish ships at Manila, are secured for Raleigh. Alter the flags have been exhibited in New York, they will be shipped here to Mayor Ross and will find a resting place in the Mayor's office. Mr. W. R. Hearst, the editor and proprietor of the New York Journal, with characteristic enterprise, secur ed the fallen flog of Admiral Mon tijo, together with two others taken from tho ' destroyed fleet These flags were taken by Cap tain Coghlan -of the Cruiser Ral eigh, and thai brave officer, in con- j sidcration of the fact that tho Journal had been foremost in the: defense of the navy, decided to make a gift of trophies to the editor of that pajKsr. Accordingly, the three flogs were sent to New York by Consul Wildhom at the request of Captain Coghlan. Their arrival is expected at that point in the near future. As soon as Mayor Ross saw that the commander of the namesake of our city in the navy, the cruiser Raleigh, had presented the flags to the editor of the Journal he wrote Mr. Hearst, expressing appreciation and accord in the policy of that pa per, as did Captain Coghlan. ' and isuggeetcd that inasmuch as the flags were presented by trie cruiser Ital eigh it would be a generous and neat act to send one of the flairs to the city in whose' honor the cruiser was named. - Mayor Ruse was surprised to re-' ceive a 'etter by return mail from Mr. Hearst stating that he would be pleased to send all three of the f..i- to the city after they- hid been ex hibited in New York. Mayor Russ was very much gratified and plain ed upon the receipt of Mr. IleaM's letter tendering the flags to the cry. All Raleigh will await the am I of the flags which were taken in t historic engagement at Manilla 1 the at y a namesake.
