Gallagher, the man who attempted to murder Mayor Gay nor on Tueaday, reveals him aa one of the queerest and most uncanny criminals who have ever fallen into the bands of the police. Superficially a man of religious devotion, who has the' ap pearance of intelligence, be Is shown to be under the surface a person- with weird domination over rats and other detestable rodents. He was constantly at war with his fellow workers, although be sought fvery assistance from them a man 01 whimsical humor and yet murder ously morbid. Not in all the years of his life in New York did be make a sincere friend, but he drew solace from his companionship with rats. He was one of the force under charge of Walter H. Bunn, chief of the sixth division, and was assigned to work in the wool room. The old stores building was over run with rats, and they were the one abomination of the men uncrating and wrapping the stores. They pos sessed no terrors for Gallagher, how ever, tie deiigntea in ineir coming. He often demonstrated his peculiar command of bis voice to his fellow laborers and seemed to get any call he desired from the throat region. One day the tile drove many of the dock rats among the barrels and boxes in the stores office. v They ran for shelter into the heaps of wool in the section where Gallagher was working, and in ftight the packers leserted the room. Gallagher, bow- ever, pursued the rats into the wool piles. They were about to attack him when a weird call issued from his throat. His fellow workers looking in upon him saw the rats gather about him with squeals of affection that sound ed similar to the noise that Gallagher made. ' They crept upon him from all sides. He stroked the rodents as he continued the chuckle and they climbed all over him. Many of the rats," fattened on the refuse that had been thrown from the stores, were almost the size of cats and aggres sively fierce. . . . Gallagher gave no - heed to their Size or appearance, uecoaaieu mem and let them nestle in hia arms. They ran about his neck and down the back of his coat. He tweaked their ong tails, but they did not bite him, and be performed other minor cruel ties that would ordinarily have pro voked the rodents to sink their teeth in him, but they made no move to hurt the laborer. Their tails swish ed across hia face, but be only laugh ed between his intermittent calls. He finally put the rats away from him, but, to horrify the other men, called them back every noon hour with the same throaty cry. They came through cracks in the floor and from holes in the wall. They emerged dripping with the water they bad ust left. His summons was irresist ible. To shock his fellows almost to nausea he permitted the rats to nib ble the food be held between his lip3. The men appealed to him to stop, but he laughed at their entreaties. "They are lovable animals," he often told his companions. "The rat is much misunderstood. You must greet him with his own love call and he will never harm you." Falbv Slays Boo. Winston-Salem Sentlnal.

There is a homely saying "If I caunot be corn, I will not be shucks" that is, if the best is denied : one, he will not take the leavings. When there was a vacancy on the Federal bench in North Carolina, the Republican bosses trotted up the following Republican lawyers among others to Washington for a Job. Ex-Judge W. O'B. Robinson. Ex-Judge E. W. Timberlake. Thurston T. Hicks. i District Attorney Harry Sksnner. President Taft devoted Beveral months to looking them over on the hoof and reading their records end getting acquainted with their stand ing. Alter doing so, Mr. Taft said thai not one of them was "fltten" and refused to appoint either one of theiu or any other Republican. H . vr iug decided alter examining them all carefully that the North Carolina Republicans didn't have a "fltten" man,, the President appointed Judge Conner, a life-long Democrat, who was then.' Associate Justice of the Su preme Court. And now the Republican State Convention comes along and asks the people of North Carolina to vote to put . these four men on the State bench whom President Taft said were not "fltten" to sit on the inferior Federal bench. The convention named for the Supreme Court bench; Chief Justice, T. T. Hicks; Associate Justices, Harry Skinner and E. W. Timberlake. Superior Court Judge ia the Sixth District W. S. O'B. Robinson. He says to North Carolina does the Republican President, in sub stance: "I examined these men and found they were not . good enough for the Federal bench." Then the North Carolina Republican State Convention says: "Give us for the Supreme Court bench men Taft said were 'not fltten We take shucks." In the campaign that Is to follow, all that the people will say is tbia: "If Mr. Taft said these four Repub lican lawyers were unfit for the low est Federal appointment, we do not care to take his 'leavings' for our highest court." FISH FOND OF GASOLINE. Record Catch With Bait Soaked ta tha . o Liquid. , New York, Aug 8. When the gas oline trust officials read this story the price of "juice" may go up again, but truth must prevail, John Butler, Young Williams and Sharp Austin, veracious citizens of C dar Grove, N. J., started on a fish ing trip to Green Pond Saturday in an antomoniie. rnev carrier tor arried bait a pail of worms, and when they reached the pond and uncovered the pail they found to their consternation that the worms were covered with gasoline. They remembered then that after digging the worms Friday they had set the uncovered pail un der the automobile for the night. It was too late to dig fresh worms, and so the men concluded to try the gasoline worms. At the end of a few hours the men had - broken ail records for catches. Williams had hauled out 45 euafish, black bass and perch. Butler had 55. Austin counted 50. So heavily laden was the automo bile that before climbing the hill at Singaa Station the men say they had to throw out 50 of the fish to lighten the car. The friends returned to Cedar Grove with 100 fish and told their simple tale. They are all husky cit izens and no open remarks were made by neighbors. . A Saasfcara Idyll. Canadian Couries.

It Is Oalr Psaalbl br (! of Camel Hrs a Myth. Wide Wo'ld Magazine. In Arabia travel is only possible by means of camels. The pranciog Arabian steed ia a myth to the trav eler in the peninaul . 1 never saw a horse worth lookiog at in those desert regions; indeed, I can not see how horses could be bred to perfection in s uch a herbles3 land. Without the camel life would be im possible. The "bumpty herds" are the sole product of the desert, end on them one must wander from well to well If one determines to brave this moat inhospitable and dangerous of Journeys. Camels form the chief con cern of the Arab's existence; they supply him with all hia wants teds, food, clothing, and transport; heuo the breeds are well selected and pedt grees carefully kept. The tribe 1 was with owned immense herds of camel, chiefly of highly bred droiu edaries, capable of great endurance and of going without water for a long period, but they also had a few heav ily built baggage camels. These dromedaries will, when in good condition, travel seven or eight clay's without water. In the spring months, when the pasture ia fresh, they will even exist for three weeks without it. For a short journey they can go at the rate of 70 miles a day, and the Bedouins are very fond of telling stories of record rides oh camel hack and of extraordinary distances covered without water. They can even cross Immense areas of fodder- lesa country, subsisting entirely on their hump, which, however, gradu ally diminishes in size. The highly bred dromedary is, like a thoroughbred horse, very nervous and difficult to ride. It is s neces sary to talk to your camel as it Is for the plowman to talk to his teem. THE PLUTOCRATIC FARMER. Charity and Children. The best way to discover the ad vancing value of farm lands and the prosperous condition of the farmer is to revisit the scenes of your child hood and compare the situation as it was then and as it le " now. The writer well remembers a plantation in the neighborhood where he was reared that was noted for its pover ty. Its sand spots were white and glistening and the bottom patches were few and far between. It was notorious tor its "bumble bee" cot ton and its frail and feeble corn. It now produces great crops .and the weak places average up with the bottoms. Twenty-five years ago that place would have been consid- ' ered t $7,600; it sold last spring for $37,000. and the buyer is chuck ling over bis bargain. Another plantation in that neighborhood, more valuable than the one mention ed, was worth a quarter of a century ago 112,000. The owner would not sell it today foo 160,000. The small farmer in the old days with a hun dred acres of land and hardly able to make buckle and tongue meet, finds himself now worth $10,000. That is the way things are going in that sec tion and although property values have bounded forward more rapidly there than in most' sections of the State the progress in the value of farm lands everywhere has been steady and strong. Furthermore, the methods of farming have -more than kept pace with the increasing value of property. The use of fertilizers is much more intelligent than former ly. Even the negroes have at their tongue's end the proper propotion of constituent elements in commercial fertilizers that ara suited to certain soils and crops. This is not as it used to be, for guano was guano then, and the main thing was to get bold of it, with no regard to its com ponent parts. The danger before our farmers la the same .that con fronts our people everywhere, name ly, automobiles. If they .do not get into the habit of spending all thsir profits for speed, tfaey . are on the high way to wealth. We were glad to observe among our old neighbors, however, a disposition to heroes ap the mules and go to chnrth in the good old way and we hope they will c.jctiuaa to do this, and ride on ly la I'jie ether fellow's automobile. THE CANKER SELFSIHNESS. X Baltimore Sua. Holy Writ tells ns that "no one liveth unto himaelf" alone, and those hu seek to live for themselves only are mbfits in the plan of creation. Selfishness U the bioeful canker worm that?ats out the heart of every otherwise good deed. There is no more lovaUe Or uful member of socitty than the uoselflsb man or woman, and no more disgusting creature than the chronic self-seeker. It is by helping others that we can best succeed in saving ourselves and accomplishing the purpose for which we are made. This is what Christ meant when He said that "he who lovctb bis life shall lose it, and he M ho l.rtt-th his life for my sake sball find it." It is, as a rule, the selfish who are afflicted with what the old Latins termed the "taedium vitae" the insufferable ennui that makes life not worth living. Those who :ive for others rarely find life dull or uninteresting, still less unendura ble. Our heartiest admiration goes out to the noble men and women reared in the lap of luxury, having all they require, needing not to work for themselves, but who, nevertheless, are willing to devote their time and means and energy to the physical and moral betterment of their kind. It is no mere empty compliment to such to style them the "salt of the earth." And well would it be for the world if all others in the same position would but follow these shining examples. No better advice could bejgiven the idle and selfish rich than that contain ed in the words of Chalmers: "Live' for aom-tbin?. D good and leave behind you a mountain of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy. Write your name in kind ness, love and mercy on the hearts of ! thousands you come into contact with year by year; you will never be for- j gotten. Your name, yourdeeds, will j be as legible on the hearts you leave behind as the stars on the brow of evening. Good deeds will shine as the stars of heaven." Unfortunately, selfishness often creeps into our very best deeds, and sweet charity itself is at limes but sheer sell-seeking. Many there are who give without a particle of gen uine love or sympathy. They give with the feeling that they are invest ing their money in the Bank of Heaven and with the expectation of getting a good, big rate of interest. The are everlastingly thinking ot the return: "Cast the bread upon the waters and it shall return to thee," etc. So long as this remaias the sole incentive to human helpfulness, there can be no life or heart in it. It is at Debt but an emasculated philanthropy. The cold, supercilious dispeneer of alms, who throws a bone to a dog, seems to forget that helper and helped are both made of the same common clay; that the mendicant is not neces sarily, oralways, a brazen and thick ekinn d shame; that the poor and ig norant are not without feeling, pride and sensitiveness, and that to some of them this enforced beggary is as gall and warmwood. Small won der that we hear from time to time of self-respecting poor people brought to the hospitals on the verge of star vation because they shrank from throwing themselves on the mis-called charity of such unfeeling fellow-mor tais. Again, there are many who realize w e.l enough their duty of helping the needy, but they give their help in such a way as not to stint themselves iu the least putting off their deeds of charity till deuth deprives them of any further opertunity ot enjoyin earthly goods. Speaking to such, Franci-j Bacon once said: "Defer not charities till death; for certainly if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so U rather liberal of another man's than his own." Fortunate and worthy of ail esteem is the rich man of whom we can say what Cicero once said of a certain posthumus "In his pursuit of wealth it was plain that he sought, not food tor avarice, but an instrument of doing good."

The crops generally ustl for fill sowing to serve as cover and grazing crops are crimson clover, the vetches, bur (clover and rye. Oats, wheat and barley are also sometimes used, but generally these crops are sowed for making seed or forage the next summer, rather than as cover and grazing crops, although they serve . more or less for both these purposes. In fact, for grazing purposes, if the land is rich, we would put the cereals in the following order of merit for winter grazing: Barley, wheat, rye (Southern grown) a 04 . oats. It is useless to sow barley on poor land, but on rich land we have no hesita tion in placing it first among the cereals for furnishing winter grazing. We also regard wheat as superior t rye or oats, but it also requires rich er land than the rye and oats, but not necessarily as rich land ag is re quired for barley. For a winter cover crop and for grazing these cereals should be sow ed moderately early. We are often asked if they may be put in at the las: cultivation of the cotton, but while this may be successfully done in many cases,' we advise sowing them, as cover crops and for grazing, the latter part of September or first half of October. When sowed in cotton, we believe it usually better to sow immediately after the first picking rather than at the last work ing. As a hardy cover and winter graz ing crop for general use on rather thin land, Southern-grown re is probably the most reliable of the cereals. The Northern-grown seed give plants that seen, to lie on the ground more and are not nearly bo satisfactory for grazing. We regard oats as of the least value for winter grazing, bat in the lower half or two-thirds of our terri tory they are the best for maturing for seed or grain.

Donovan had just landed from the old country, and it was his first visit to this country. Slopping at the hoUl where the bartender in question holds forth, McGinnis said: "2)r, Donovan, my boy, I'll give you a taste of liquor that will make you thii.k the ancieut kings left am brosia for ye.

Donovan lifted the pony daintily to the light, and then, turning to Mo Gia, said: ' "How old did ye say this is, Mac?" "Forty years, if it's a day." "Be jabbers," said Donovan, with another critical look at the glasj, "it's small for its age, ain't it?"
