one American author, Poe, has since gained a

The great author is dead, but his charming ro
mances still live to delight new generations of
readers. "The wind of the lakes and the prairies
has not lost its balsam and the salt of the sea
keeps its savor," says the same writer above
quoted. Beautiful indeed are Cooper's stories of
the red man and the pioneer, full of incident, in
tensely interesting, abounding in adventure, vet
pure, elevating, manly, and entirely devoid of all
the objectionable features of the modern Indian
story. No reading could be more wholesome for
young or old than Cooper's famous novels. An

UK TALKS WITH FRIEND JAKE!,
SOME PUBLIC MATTERS.
The Alliance and the Sub-Treasury Who
"Will Pay the Big; Bounties ? A Personal
Devil,
Uncle Jake is not a scholar, but is
a reader and a thinker. He takes
some papers and borrows others. He
is getting old, and is quite amiable
and tolerant, His natural disposition
is not to criticise, but rather to apol
gize for everything and everybody.
When there is conflict and excite
ment and bitterness, he takes no side,
but offers excuses for both.
"There are two sides to this thing,"
says he, "and folks ought to discuss
it more calmly.'' It always interests
me to draw him out on the perplex
ing questions ol the day,and hear
him express his "learnings."
"I havn't mind enough," says he,
"to decide betwixt 'em, but it will all
work out right after while. Our
Heavenly Father is mighty good to
His creatures as long as good people
are in majority. He would have
saved Sodom if Abraham could
have found ten good people there.
I don't know how big the town was
big as Atlanta, I reckon, but it
must have been an awful place. God
puts up with a heap before He lets
his wrath boil plum over. He never
sent the flood until the number ol
qfood people was reduced down to
eight, and I reckon one of them was
a pretty hard case and was just saved
on acconnt of his kinfolks. I believe
there is many a young manand
young girl, too, who will be saved on
account of their father and mother.
Atlanta is said to be a right wicked
town, but I reckon there are several
hundred good people there pretty
good people and I think she is safe.
The towns are worse than the coun
try, for you see the devil hasn't got
time to run round from house to
house and whisper his devilment in
their ears. He wants 'em by the
wholesale. He wont set his trap to
catch one bird. He! has got sense,
he has. He wont waste his ammu
nition." "Uncle Jake," said I, "what is your
opinion about this home for the vet
erans that has raised such a commo
tion ?" "Well, now,", said he, "since
it has sorter quieted down I reckon
a man can talk a little without being
misconstrued. While they were all
so mad on both sides I never said
nary a word. It wasn't prudent.
There are two sides to it and both of
'em are good sides. There isn't
much difference betwixt 'em really,
but they didn't know it. Everybody
is willing to ,do something for the
veterans, and the question is, what is
the best thine to do. If they had
taken a little more time and sent out
circulars, and had the magistrates in
every direction to send in a report of
how many old soldiers in his beat
had no kinfolks that he had rather
stay with, and who would probably
go the home, then there would have
been something substantial to depend
on. There may be right smart of
'em in the State I don't know.
"I asked our members about it and
they didn't know ol any in Bartow.
It's mighty hard for an old soldier to
break up his associations and go off
alone. A man has got to be nigh
a vagabond to do it. I heard Sam
Jones say that the soldiers' home up
north were perfectly scandalous.
That nobody was in 'em but a lot of
vagabond foreigners who come over
here without lamilies and pitched in
to the fight and they have gone to
the homes and draw their pensions
and set around all day and drink
beer and play cards, and they are
considered up there a perfect nuisance.
But our veterans are not that kind,
and if we can help them we want to
do it. But I know some mighty
worthy ones who need help and
won't go to the 'home,' either they
love their homefolks too good for
that. Something might be done for
them. There are two sides to this
question, and the boys oughtn't to
get mad. They are all for the vet
erans, and the widows, too, and it
don't make any difference what them
papers up north say about it. What
ever we do won't lose a friend or con
vert an enemy up there. It makes
me sorter mad to hear our people
say 'what will the north say about
it?'"
THE ALLIANCE AND THE SUB-
TREASURY.

I, "what's
Alliance and
'Oh I don't
all work out
right after a while. There are two
sides to it, and whenever there are
two sides it gets up discussions,
and we will have to wait until the
argument is over. It is in a right
smart tangle yet but the people will
do right when they have time to see
what right is. The farmers are
raising a powerful rumpus and if they
are demanding too much it's a good
wav to set something. I remember
when the watchword of oar party was
'$54.40 or fight," but we settled down
to $39.30 and didn't fight either, for
that was all the territory we were en
titled to. V
"Folks have to make a fuss some
times, or they will be run over. You
know Bob Smith actually quit his
crop and went to preaching all the
week, and when his boss made a fuss
about it, Bob said: 'We is jest
obleeged to go to preachin.' You
white folks done got dis here world,
and we niggers is a fixin' to get de
next one.' The farmers have been
paying tribute to protection for seventy-five
years, and they are tired.
Thev want their time to come. They
want a bounty in some shape. Sugar
has got one, and why not cotton and
corn ana wheat ana ncer rive
dollars a bale on cotton would help
powerfully, and that would be only
$40,000,000 a year. That's nothing
for a government like this. Suppose
we paid $106,000,000 a year to the
farmers in bounties, they would get
the money and their products be no
higher. The poor people would get
them as cheap as ever. I can buy
sugar at 5 cents, but the sugar plan
ter gets 2 cents a pound more. This
plan would stimulate farming and
beat the Sub-Treasury scheme. The
manufacturers have had that much or
more for fifty years through the pro
tective tariff why not the farmers?"
"But Uncle Jake," said I, "where
will the government get the money
to pay these bounties?" "Oh, I
don't know," said he, "where there's
a wm there s a way. 1 nere s tne
income tax that they could make as
heavy as they please, and they could
put some more on whiskey whiskey
will stand a sight. It pays $180,
000,000 now, and could just as easy
pay $280,000,000."
"But suppose," said I, "the tem
perance movement abolishes whiskey
what then?" "Why, then," said
Uncle Jake smiling, "we would have
such a millennium we wouldn't want
any bounties we wouldn't need any.
If whiskey was abolished it would
save a tnousana millions a year to
the country. Without whiskey we
would all get rich. Whiskey runs
poverty and poorhouses and lunatic
asylums and orphans' homes and
jails and chaingangs and prisons of all
kinds. Whiskey runs the courts and
the taxes and pretty much the law
yers and doctors, to say nothing ol
broken vows and broken hearts. We
could afford to swap away every
bounty and pension and protection
to s:et rid 01 whiskey, but we won t
talk about that now, for it's not in
sight. It's only a hope, a dream.
The devil will give up everything be
fore he will whiskev." .
"Uncle Jake," said I, "do you be
lieve in a real, personal devil?" The
old man looked surprised. "Why
not?" said he. "Why not? Don't
the Bible tell us about him and all
his officers Satan and Beelzebub and
Apolyon and Moloch and Belial and
all those fellows? Why, the old
scoundrel came here first. He had
possession when Adam was created
and he began right straight to work
on him, and he's been a-workin' on
his posterity ever since. Don't I feel
it? Don't I know it? He's been
working on me all my life, and I have
to fight him every day. What makes
me have wicked thoughts thoughts
of passion, revenge, envy, covetous-
ness. When that mean old rascal,
Jim Wilkins, was torn all to pieces by
the cyclone, what made me glad 01 it?
Don't I know that all such thoughts
are unbecoming to a gentiemanr
What makes me love to hear Sam
Jones scarify the people; what makes
a little child show passions and self
ishness before it can talk? I he Lord
didn't make us that way, not at the
start, he didn't. The old devil is at
the bottom of every bad thing, and
we have just got to fight him, that's
all. If he whips the fight here, then
we become his subjects, and go
straight to his kingdom, fire or no
fire. That's what I believe. If I tell
my boy not to go in a-washing this
evening, he is perfectly free to mind
me or not mind me, and just so the
Lord has made me a free agent, to
do right or do wrong. The good
spirit works on me and the devil
works on me, and I can take my
choice that's what I believe.
"Sam Jones and Sam Small have
got together again, and they make a
powerful team. It doesn't matter
what some folks or some papers say
ahout them they are shaking up the
people. I don't know what would
become of us if it were not for the
preachers. I saw a man shedding
tears, last night while Sam Small was
talking who hasent had a tender
thought or a pure one in years, they
say. May be he will come to him
self yet, and like the poor prodigal,
go back to his father's house. I hope
so. Everybody hopes so. Some
folks don't like the spasmodical, emo
tional religion, but it is better than
none. It puts a man to thinking,
and is a sign that he is not clean gone.
Our tabernacle is an institution and a
rcomfort. It is crowded every day
and every night, and all its influence
is for good. Hundreds go there that
won't go to the churches, and some
of them are gathered in.
"There are but two great highways
in this world, and one of them leads
to the churches and the , other to the
jails. Not that so many reach the
prisons, but you can see the jail away
off at the end of the avenue they are
on. Their bent is in that direction.
And you can see the spires of the
churches away off at the end of the
other. The churches are the freest
homes on earth, and the best. They
have no secrets, and the doors are
wide open, and you pay what
you please, and every thing
that is done or said theae is lor peace;
nobody quarrels or fights. You can't
say that much ot any political meet
ing or any secret society or grand
lury or auiance meeting. 1 never
heard 01 a young man being made
worse by going to church. There is
a sad song that says "Where Is My
Wandering Boy To-night?" that a
poor mother was singing. Wjell, if I
was to step in and say, "He's at
church, madame," wouldent she be
happy? Parents are not afraid of the
church. They may not belong to it,
nor go to it, but I never saw one who
tried to keep his child away. Did
you?"
Well, no; I never did. I have read
about them, trut I reckon it was a
romance. Bill Arp.
THE MAJOR FOOLS ST. PETER AND
GETS ON THE INSIDE.
Here ig a Story That Shows How Far Some
Men Can Go in Being Irreverent and Sac
rilegious, and it is not a Bit Fanny,
Either.
Some months ago Maj.
W. H.
JToler, of Los Angeles, Cal , a
tleman well known in this city
section, where he was raised,
thrown from a buggy while he
gen
and was
was
out driving and so stunned that for a
long while his life was despaired of.
A Los Angeles Herald reporter,
under the above heading gives the
following humorous interview with
the Major :
Since the publication of the inci
dent about how Major Toler split a
cannon ball in two with with his head
during the war, there has been a
public demand for information about
his experience when he was thrown
out of his buggy and stunned against
a granite curbing. A " reporter ran
against the Major yesterday and
tackled him. After the usual pre
liminaries, the reporter wanted to
know if the owner of the curbstone
came after him for damages ?
Major Toler Well, not exactly.
There is a misapprehension about
that curbstone. II it had been made
out of granite I would have shattered
it. But it was made out of Califor
nia cement, which so hardens in this
climate that cannon balls are not a
circumstance to it.
Reporter You must have been
badly hurt, then ?
Toler No, I
cannot say that I
feel it. When my
around me, they
to all intents and
was, lor 1 didn t
friends gathered
found me dead,
purposes.
Reporter Will you tell me how
one feels when dead, and what you
were doing all those hours until life
returned ?
Toler Well, I took a little trip
across the dead line. My spirit was
caught by my guardian angel and
borne across the river about which
the Christians sing. I was borne up
wards until I came to the golden gate.
I felt a little shaky as to how matters
would develop for me, but with a
great amount of confidence I knock
ed boldly at the gate, and Uncle
Peter wanted to know who was there,
"Toler, from Los Angeles, the City
of the Angels, that is so like Para
dise?" "Are you Democrat or Re
publican ?" to which I with pride an
swered, "A twenty-four carat fine
Democrat." "Come in, then, at the
rignt-hand door. - The left-hand leads
Ito Republican headquarters.
Reporter So you got in, did you?
Well, what did you see ?
Toler There at once gathered
about me a great convoy of angels,
the sweetest music and
rejoicing, saying, ' iinter into tny
rest." Thus I was conveyed through
the streets of the New Jerusalem and
beheld its glories its streets of gold
and its river of the water of life such
as no mortal tongue can ever tell.
But as I was borne on I was more
interested in a great , concourse of
spirits who gathered near the great
throne. To my guardian angel 1
asked, "What meaneth this mighty
host of glorified spirits?" to which
answer was made, " 1 ms is tne great
Democratic headquarters." Then as
I came up to the scene I recognized
4 T 1 1 . f
many whom 1 had Known in tne
flesh. There was the great Confed
erate generals, and a multitude of
soldiers who had laid down their lives
on earth's great battlefields. What
a great joy, as we clasped hands once
more ! After a time I beheld a spirit
of wonderfnl beauty, and she wore
flor it was a woman) a robe of surpas
sing loviness and no face beamed with
purer ioy. I at once sought her ac
quaintance and found myself talking
to Mrs. Surratt. After s6me time I
remarked upon the absence of Re
publican Iriends, and Mrs, Surratt led
me to a high turret upon the wall of
the gieat city, and far across a great
gulf she pointed to a region of the
lost. There she shwed me those
who had sat in judgment on her and
condemned her to death, and with
them were gathered the multitude
that hated righteousness and honest
government. My heart was filled
with great pity and I was anxious to
come back to earth and warn my
Republican friends that they go not
to that place of torment where the
Republicans, like the worm, dieth
not. There I was advised to go back
to earth and work a reformation of
the Republicans that they might re
pent and shun the fate of the wicked,
and I passed put of the golden gate
and once more awoke to life.
Reporter Well, Major, how are
you succeeding in reforming the Re
publicans ? Is the mission a hopeful
one ?
Toler No, it is a thankless mis
sion. Republican instincts are so
strong, that all my best influence is
upset by one crack of the party whip.
They will not heed me, though I
have returned from the dead to warn
them.

California Will Send a Novelty of its For
ests to the World'
The Tulare peoplejare going to ex
hibit one of the results of the Califor
nia climate in an altogether original
I wav.
There is a tree in that county
which is a fair specimen of what the
redwood can be if it grows enough.
It stands in a gorge.deep enough to
be awful, and its topmost boughs,
where the cones are thickest, are on
a level with the highest rocks on the
ravine.
It is not cut yet, so the measure
ments so far taken may be at fault a
bit, one way or the other, but they
are near enough the trunk to make
safe betting.
The tree is 300 feet high, 96 feet
from the butt to first branch, and 26
feet through at the very base.
A log of clean, smooth wood that
will measure 90 feet in length and
average 20 ieet in aiameter can easi
ly be cut out of it.
That is what the Tulare people
propose to do, and having the log
they will utilize it to the benefit of
the World's Fair and the glory of the
Tulare.
The tree grows well up toward
the head waters of the Kaweah
River, and the great log will have to
be carried or moved in some way to
the railroad at Vasalia, a distance of
nearly sixty miles.
It is a stupendous undertaking,
but the people of that country do not
stop at trifles. In all likelihood' the
trunk will be cut in sections length
wise, and then the sections will be
put on trucks and taken over the log
road. Ox tems will do the hauling,
probably a score of span to the sec
tion. In many places a road will have to
be cut through and built up. Crooks
and turns and precipitous slants will
have to be avoided, and often when
the road is uphill it will require the
combined strength of all the oxen to
haul one section of the tree up the
steep.
When finally, the giant of the Tu
lare woods is where it can be moved
on railroad cars, it will have cost
hundreds and hundreds of dollars,
and six months will have been passed
from the time the men with axes
started to fell it.
Then the s more important work
will commence.
The log will be made whole by the
putting together ofthe sections. Ex
pert woodsmen will cut it across in
the middle, making two lengths,
each 45 feet long. Each of these
lengths will then be hewn into the
shape of ordinary railway passenger
coaches.
The rough bark of the tree will be
the roof of the car, and on the sides
and ends the natural wood will be
left unpolished.
The inside will be hollowed out,
windows and doors put in, and the
interior finished after the fashion of
pullman cars. One will be a buffet
and dining car with apartments for
bath, barber shop and kitchen. The
other will be a sleeper with an obser
vation room.
Platforms will be put at the ends
and ordinary trucks underneath, and
to prevent the transformed tree from
falling to pieces under any circum
stances, heavy bands of iron will , be
put around the body ofthe car.
The tree would have been left with
the bark all on but for the fact that
the cars could not be more than the
regulation size and get over bridges
and through tunnels safely. They
will be about eleven feet wide and
10 feet high. San Francisco Exami

HOW MANY RECOMMENDATIONS
YOU POSSESS.
DO
Here are Some of the Recommendations
One Mas Saw in a Boy-The Portrait
of a True Gentleman, What Every Boy
May Become.
A gentleman advertised for a boy
to assist him in his office, and nearly
fifty applicants presented themselves
before him. -1
Out of the whole number he selec
ted one and dismissed the rest. "I
should like to know." said a friend,
on what ground you selected that
boy without a single recommenda
tion." "You are mistaken," said the
gentleman, "he has a great many.
He wiped his feet when he came in
and closed the door after him, show
ing that he was careful; gave up his
seat to the lame old man, showing
that he was kind and thoughttul; he
took oft his cap when he came in, an
swered my questions oromotlv and
respectfully, showing that he was po
lite and gendemanly; he picked up
a book, which I purposely laid upon
the floor, and replaced it on the table,
while all the rest stepped over it or
shoved it aside; and he waited quiet
ly for his turn, instead of pushing or
crowding, showing that he was honest
and orderly. When I talked with
him I noticed his clothes were care
fully brushed, his hair in nice order
and his teeth as white as milk; and
when he wrote his name, I noticed
that his finger nails were clean in
stead of being tipped with jet like
that handsome little fellow in the
blue jacket. Don't you call these
things letters of recommendation ? I
do, and I would give more for what
I can tell about a boy by using my
eyes ten minutes than for all the let
ters of recommendation that he can
give me. Manufacturer and Builder.
The following was found in an old
manor-house in Gloucestershire,
England, written and framed, andi
hung over the mantle-piece of a sit
ting room. JThe true gentleman is
God's servant, the world's master,
and his own man. Virtue is his bus
iness, study his recreation, content
ment his reward. God is his Father,
Jesus Christ his Savior, the saints his
brethren, and all that need him his
friends. Devotion is his chaplain,
Chastity his chamberlain, Sobriety
his butler, Temperance his cook,
Hospitality his house-keeper, Provi
dence his steward, Charity his treas
ure, Piety his mistress of the house,
and Discretion his porter, to let him
in or out, as most fit. Thus is his
whole family made up of virtue, and
he is master of the house. He is
necessitated to take the world on his
way to heaven, and he walks through
it as fast as he can, and all his busi
ness by the way is to make himself
and others happy. Take him in
two words a man and Christian.

In them .are being cultivated the

these minds should be united to

children suffer from impurities and
poisons in the blood that it is a won

cannot find words strong enough to
express their gratitude to Hood's

It's an Old Adage-
"There are two sides to every
question." ,
Surely there are two sides to the
question which has been discussed
by a writer in a recent publication.
He says, among other things, that
"cutters" are an injury to the commu
nity and to the country.
I happen to be connected with one
of the so-called cutting establishments
and know a few things about them,
and that, instead of the above asser
tion being well grounded, often, if
not always, the reverse is the case.
There are several ol the "so-called
cutters" in this State, and they do
about the largest business in the State.
At these places you can get what you
want at greatly reduced prices because
these"cutters" are satisfied with a mod
erate profit, and thus they succeed in
building up a fine business. If you
will take the trouble to inquire of any
of the large manufacturers they will
tell you that the "cutters" sell more
of their goods than any other estab
lishments. You cannot regulate trade by cry
ing down "Cutters," we are simply
pioneers of low prices.
We opened last week a nice line of
Crockery, prices very low, as usual.
