GREW OLD WITH HIS WHISKEY.
When That Supply Failed There Was
None on Earth Quite Good Enough.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tri
bune. Three well known Covington men
started on a little hunt last week. They
were going down the blue grass region,
and, as they had an ill-founded suppo
sition that there was no good whiskey
in God's country, they provided them
selves with a few quarts. They were
face to face In the car, the other seal
being occupied by a man with an Intel
ligent face that had seen better days.
His nose was red. an indication of lo
quaciousness, which was soon in evi
dence. When the "likker" was passed
he didn't refuse it.
"That's plntedly good stuff, gentle
men, but I seldom drink."
"Seldom drink," said the others in
surprise.
"Yes. I'm kinder spoilt fer likker. I
cain't git the kind I've allers been used
to, an' fur that reason I seldom drink.
But this her' is good, an' I don't mind
Jlnln' you."
"What kind have you been drinking,
sir, that you are spoiled for any other
brand?"
"Well, mine had nn name. Yer see.
my pap was a tolerably well-to-do far
mer befoh the war. One uv his neigh
bors was a runnin' a little still an' mak
ln' the likker, but he got hard up an'
couldn't pay his debts. So pap had to
take about ten or twelve bar'ls of lik
ker, just to git his money. There wan t
no gol-dinged taxes then, an' a bar ! of
whiskey wan't wuth mor n seen or
eight dollars.
"Well, pap he put the stuff in t.h cel
lar an' 'lowed he'd jist keep it in case
uv sickness In the family. He was Mok
more'n the rest uv us, but sis she
couldn't bear the stuff and Bud he
went an' fit In the war. Pap an' mt
stayed home. We kep' a drinkin' that
likkker, an' it kep' a gittin' botter'n
better. Pap he died after awhile an'
there wus only me and maw left, an'
sis had got married, an' Bud w as killed
In the war. Then, when the old woman
died the whiskey cum natchully to me.
an' sis dldn' want enny uv the stuff.
You know there wus a pow'ful big tax
on whiskey an' it would've ttikj all the
farm to pay the axes, an' I Jist con
cluded ter let the stuff stay an' git ripe.
Course, I'd drink when I wanted it, an'
I'd take a gallon er two along when I'd
go ter the county fair. Then sometime
I'd give a neighbor a bit, but most uv
"em didn't know whur I gut the stuff,
an' I wouldn't tell 'em. fur fear the
revenue officers wout git me. It jist
went on that a-way. an' I thought may
be the stock would last me till I died
ennyway. But it dldn', fur a fact. 1
guess I kep' a-drinkln' a leetle too
st eddy.
"Every now an' then a bar'l'd gn. an'
I wouldn't even sell the hnr'l, but kr.p'
It for firewood. It does make a pow'ful
fine fire. One uv them staves would
make a fine fire and cook a whole din
ner. But made me kinder blue ter see
the likker goln' all the time, though r
reckon I hadn't orter complain enny
way. "I had to tap the last bar' I a year or
two ago, an' now It's all gene every bit.
Thur hain't a drop in the cellar. After
It wus all over I bought me a gallon
down ter Lexington, gond stuff, they
said, but I couldn't fur the life uv me
git used to it. an' that srallon's lasted
me a long while. The old woman says
that she reckoned Providens wanted ter
sober me up 'fore I die. an' that's the
way he tuk ter do it. I kinder guess
she's right in the matter, for I've not
been happy a single day since the old
stock run out. Yes. I'll take a little
more. Maybe your likker wus made
befoh the war."
NEW GUNS FOR REGULARS.
Krag-Jorgensen Repeater Now
Used
by the Infantry.
Within the last year the United
States government has replaced all Its
old single shooting Springfield rifles by
the Krag-Jorgerwssen magazine rifle,
says the New York Evening Sun. This
repeating rifle was first practically
tested in this country out West about
three years ago, and proved so success
ful that from that time on the armv
gradually replaced all the single shoot- )
ei- wnn ine mouern magazine guns.
When the rifles were turned In by the
Federal army they were kept In store
In the United States armories, and
gradually they have been distributed
among the various State militia regi
ments which lacked as good arms.
The government, while recognizing
the utility of a repeating rifle also bears
in mind the Inconvenience of having
too many cartridges in one magazine.
For tbjat reason in KraglJorgensen
rifle, which Is now In use by every In
fantry company In the Federal army,
has only fixe extra cartridges in Its
magazine, which, with the one In the
chamber in Its breach, makes six car
tridges as the limit of its load.
The rifle is therefore able to repeat
five times without a stop for reload
ing. None of the bullets. Is closer to
the muzzle than the stock: that i nil
the bullets are between the breast of
me snooier ana the left hand as It
extends along under the stock for a
rest. In that way there Is practically
no difference in leverage for the shoot
er to resist, and his aim can be as ac
curate as with a single shooter.
V The army rule is like other repeat-
"" "8r io its aDiuty to be
UBe simple single shooter. Should
hV ftH BMlJu, - .
'mui mo nwguine gel out
of order the soldier can continue to
us his rifle like the old Springfield
gun by putting in one cartridge at a
time.
But, as Important as the repeating
quality of the new rifle Is esteemed,
there Is another nnlnt r.f tin.n
about the Krag-Jorgensen Hie which
puts It In the front rank of small arms.
Instead of having a calibre of 46, like
the old- Springfield gun, it has a cali
bre of only so. The bullet, Instead of
beta a short cyollnder wlta conical
front, la a tent, rakish projectile, j

which Is guaranteed to hit a. man as
tar an he can he seen with a telescope.
Smokeless powder Is used In all of
the new magazine guns, not because it
Is smokeless, but because bulk for
bulk, the smokeless powder is much
more powerful than the old-fashioned
powder. It generates more gas and
has great velocity. Several kinds of
smokeless powder are used, but all
have about the same essential princi
ples, and correspond to what the hunts
man call nltro-powder. The old Spring
field rifle was considered deadly at
1200 yards, but owing to the slowness
of the bullet in traveling that distance
it t-M.k the most expert mnri:i-.m t"
sho t with sufficient accuracy to kill
a man at 1,000 yards.
With the new smokeless powder ma
gazine there are many men. It is said,
in the United States army who can
nick off men at 2,000 yards. There are
rtill some adherents to the old 45-call-bre
bullet. They think that when one
of those bullets hit a man It means
death, and they say that although the
new bullet will wound a man at a
greater distance it is not so likely to
kill him.

HATS AND CLOTHES IN MEXICO.
The Men Down There Fond of Loud
Colors and Big Hats.
A City of Mexico correspondent writes
to the Salt Lake Tribune: This Is a
country, you know, where men wear
the loud colors and big hats. You can
see some big jay swelling round with
a red sash, silver down the sides of his
pantlegs, and a hat on weighing about
ten pounds and which probably cost
$100 or $200. The women hardly ever
wear hats, only a few of the best cir
cles, and they never wear a hat until
after they are married. Some of the
better class women are pretty but none
of the senoritas that I have seen yet
would set the world on Are with their
beauty. They all have beautiful hair,
I suppose from not wearing hats. The
rich class wear expensive clothes, but
they don't fit, and they always look
poorly dressed. Men the same way.
There is not a good tailor here, and the
men don't appear to be like Americans.
They have all narrow shoulders and
stoop, and I am told that when a tailor
here can get a chance to make a suit
for an average Gringo he is tickled to
death. Have not seen a buggy or a
stove since leaving the States. They are
lots or carriages, but they are all big,
heavy affairs made in France and Eng
land. The cooking outside the hotels,
is done in little brick arrangements,
burning charcoal. When they want U
cook anything- the servant fans the
blaze and keeps fanning until the cook
ing is done. Great snap. The help is
all native: get about $4 a month, and
sleep on a mat on the kitchen floor.
Rt'SSSELL AND THE POPS.
From the Wilmington Dispatch.
The Pops are doing all they can these
days to get Russell into their party and
Kussell is doing everything in his pow
er to gain their affections. So far both
have been pretty successful for it is
openly admitted that he is in closer
touch with Mary Ann's party today
than he is with the party that elected
him. Russell realizes that his influ
ence with the radicals is fast waning
and is now using his position in every
way possible to gain prestige in a new
Held. Being aware that pie is about
the only thing that will gain the Pops'
affections (leaders we mean) he if
placing every slice at his disposal ii:
the hands of our long whiskered broth
er. The result is, as a State officer told
a reporter of the Raleigh Post recently,
"We are go.ng to stand by Governor
Russell. You can count on that."
TWO TOILERS.
Two men toiled side by side froir sur to
sun.
And both were poor;
Both sat with children when the day
was done.
About the door.
One saw the beautiful In crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other, with his head in sadness
bowed
Made night of noon.
One loved each tree and flower and
singing bird
On mount or plain;
No music in the soul of one -was stir
red By leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow man.
And hoped the best;
The other marvelled at his Master's
plan.
And doubt confessed.
One having heaven above and heaven
below ;
Was satisfied;
The other, discontented, lived in woe,
And hopeless died.
DEMORALIZING AND DISGUSTING
From the Wilmington Messenger.
We feel so assured of the unwisdom
of trying to form an alliance, offensive
and defensive, with Marion Butler and
those who may continue to follow his
leadership, that the talk even of such
a prospect is demoralizing and disgust
ing to tens of thousands of simon-pure
Democrats. We verily believe that .in
entering wedge of conspicuous indepen
dence among Democrats will be driven
if the supposed leaders attempt a dick
er. Nothing could be more distasteful
to the old time Democrats than a trade
and a swap with the liutlerites. unless
it be for the Democrats in the next leg
islature to nominate for the lTnitei
States Senate Dan Russell as Butler's
running male in the once august bod .

LET US STAND BY (H it f1.1I.11RS.
From the Heinloi snnvllte Hustler.
The Hustler believes that ail white
men should unite in the effort to bring
about the healthful condition which ex
isted in the management of Stale af
fairs prior to fusion ascendancy in lSUt.
but it does not endorse the movement
to bring about the alliance between the
democrats and populists, looking to
that end. If mistigured populists desire
to return to the councils of the great
party of Jefferson. Jackson. Vance and
Bryan there can be no objections. The
doors stand ajar and a cc.dlal invita
tion Is extended. The democrats did not
drive them away and should not be ex
pected to meet them half way. or beg
them to return. Men who stood togeth
er from 1876 to 1S92 In preventing repub
lican misrule should again unite with a
similar object in view. There can be no
hope for relief in the republican party
as It Is controlled by men who are utter
strangers to good government and the
honest populst can do aught except re
turn to the democratic party.
Just how the democrats can grace
fully acquiesce in a proposition thev
have so severely condemned we are
at a loss to understand. The leaders
of the populist party in North Caro
lina are parties to the mismanagement
of affairs since 1894 and the democrats
have Justly rebuked them for consent
ing to the disgraceful alliance with the
republicans at that time. The conserva
tive element of the populist party will
we believe return to their old love and
assist in routing the enemy and the
re-establishment of conditions which
existed in the davs of Vance, Jarvis,
