North Carolina. When one picks up a law book, finds the subject sought, he is at a loss to know how many changes have been made since said act was passed.'"' The Charlotte Observer's running comments on the State Convention at Greensboro refer to Congressmen W. W. Kitchin and Claude Kitchin as fol lows : "After the conclusion of Ward's speech it would have been safe to have hazarded a ten to one bet that il a vote had been taken the convention would haye declined to renew Its allegiarce to the Kansas City Platform. Butjthere ap peared, to pour oil cn the troubled wa" ters, a politician of a race of politicians, and a speaker whose intense earnest ness was felt by every man who listened. This was Will Kitchin Congressman W. W. Kitchin 3 man of high charac ter and no mean 'ability. ' He talked partyism, and declared in effect thzi the adoption ot the minority report would Le a humiliation. No one ques tioned the sincerity of his statement. May be he was right ; may be he was wrong ; but he made men believe he was right. And he won out. Those two Kitchin bo; s were star figures at the convention. One wonders if they are conceited. "Claude Kitchin made the leading Clark speech. Will Kitch m's personality and oratorical power brought the dead to life." Judge G. II. Brown, the competitive candidate with J.ud'ge II. G. Connor, for the nomination fur Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court, sent the following card to the prees soon alter Judge Connor's nomination : "I take this method to express fuli endorsement of the Democratic State ticket nominated at Greensboro. I shaft do all that a judge can with pro priety to insure its success at the polls The Democratic party cannot afford to permit the defeat ol any one of its candidates. In selecting my opponent, Judge Connor, lor the exalted sif tiou of Associate Justice ol the Supreme Court, our party has recognized Judge Connor'd unswerving fidelity to Damo eratic principles when in 1891 he unhesitatingly thrust aside the tempt ing fcrite ot the fusionists and refused to allow the weight of his name and his;h character to be cast in the balance against the true interests of our fcstale. Judge Connor will bring to the bench of our highest court the invaluable, ex perience of ten years eminent judicial service, a finely balanced and conserva. live nature and pre-eminently judicial cast of mind ; all ot which will giye great confidence to all classes of suitors in the absolute impartiality of the de crees of our Supreme Court. I also wish to express my thanks and grati. tude to my lriends and supporters throughout the State for their ioyal efforts in my behalf. G. H. Bkown, Jk. July 17,1902." It is said that by reason c ,he scarcity of farm labor In Kansas, many farmers have largely lost their wheat crop. Tiie Wilmington Mesaenger recently made the following sensible editorial observation concerning labor on the farm and in the cities and towns : "The scarcity ot labor on the farms is offset by its overabundance in the cities and larger towns.. In the fatter there are thousands ot people wanting work. Every vacancy is snapped up and men are willing to work for almost J any wages, m this manner keeping down the wages of those who are able to get work. Men prefer to bang around towns with the hope of making precarious living to going to the coun try and being assured of steady and re munerative work. The tendency of the day la lor men, especially younglmen, to abandon farm life for that of the city and manufacturing town. They seem to kre sight of the fact that a success lul farmer is the most independent man in this country. The man who owns his farm and makrs his living upon it s about the only absolutely free and In dependent man in the country more so than the lawyer, the. physiciau or even the banker and millionaire- His lime is his own, and he is not at the beck and call of others, and he is free from the cares and worries that surround them. .There is too much of a ten dency these days to look down upon the professson of farming. It can be ma la a profession, and is as honorable as any of the others. The ed treated, thrifty, industrious farmer is the back bone and mainstay of this agricultural country, and if the farming interest wanes as the manufacturing increases, we will not better our condition. ' To make a real prosperous cQuntry there j lw induOrioul4o handlq JUarj, HARNESS THE WIND. How the Farm House Can Be Easily Supplied nvith an Abundance of Good Water. For many years we have suffered serious inconvenience in obtaining a sufficient supply of water for house use, especially for the last 18 or 20 months. For more than 12 months of this time we have carried water for house use a distance of 476 feet and had to tramp up hill 42 feet.. We have a spring of water discharging about one barrel of water every hour winter and summer, wet or dry. This spring is 42 feet lower than the kitchen door and 476 feet distant. Last summer we built a reservoir or tank of stone laid up in Portland cement, over and arxiund the spring, holding about 14 barrels of 'HOUSE If2ft WINDMILL I above SpfiHJ CI5T6RK FARM WATER SYSTEM. water. We then laid one-inch galvan ized iron pipe (inside measure) 30 inch es under ground from spring to kitchen door, and put a galvanized iron tank holding one barrel of water inside kitchen door; put an overflow pipe in ank and carried this pipe under ground 30 inches, half way to barn. Here we built a cistern Mned up with brick and cemented, holding 59 barrels of water. We carry water under ground from this cistern to barn where we have a galvanized iron tank holding six bar rels of water. W7e have a fall of ten feet from cistern to tank at barn. In. tank at barn we have a float valve that regulates the supply of water, keeps the tank full at all times, and absolute ly directs and manages this end of the business without any assistance on our part. - We put a force pump in spring and a steel tower 30 feet high, and an eight foot wheel at kitchen door. The pump is operated with triangle and, when we have a fair wind and want water from the spring we simply raisealeverand set the mill in motion, and the water (as pure as there is on earth) passes through our kitchen at the rate of one barrel every 30 minutes. The outfit and the wind does the work and don't stop to rest. While many of our friends and neighbors are suffering great in convenience and hardship forced upon them by the unusual scarcity of water, we feel truly thankful that we have an abundance. It is a good thing to have a good credit at a gnod banjs. The next best thing is to have a gdftd spring of water on which we can draw at any time. Sam Jones says- the poet was a prophet when he wrote: . "Death rides on every passing breeze And lurks in every flower, Each season has its own disease, Its perils every hour." We realize thit a passing breeze in many cases brings joy and gladness. A passing breeze in connection with well-directed ingenuity'will force wa ter a distance of 476 feet, elevate it 42 feet and put it in the most desir able place in our dwelling in abund ance.

It i$ something of a science to trans plant trees that have been received f rom a distant nursery and have them live. It used to be though? that there must always be a large percentage of loss anyway even under the best con ditions. Both the nurserymen and the planters have now learned that trees of all kinds can be handled in a way to insure their living when placed in their new locations. A welppacked tree has its roots kept moist by being rolled in damp moss and tied up in bagging. The old scheme of pulling trees out of the ground, exposing their roots and sending them away without any protection was the cause of many a tree proving a failure. When these trees arrived at the distant station they were thrown out on the platform and left there exposed to the heat of the sun and the drying effects of the wind. In the course of time the pur chaser drove aAjund and got his con signment, perhaps a couple of days after their arrival. - By that time their roots were good and dry. He drove home and set out'his trees in any old waj Even had he set them in the best possible way it is altogether Jikely that a good nuny trees would have perished owing; to the drying out of the roots. When a large part of his trees faiied to grow of course the nurseryman was to blame so the buyer said. He right to some ex tent, in that the trees wereent away with roots not properly protected. In sending trees ng or short distances the roots and their moisture supply furnish the key to the situation. Prop er treatment of the tree from the time It comes out of the nursery row to the time it goes into the place assigned to it in the orchard! will insure- a good healthy tree. In setting a hundred of these there need be no failures. Farmers' Review. Be gentle with the hogs so that they become docile and quiet. The keeper's disposition is often reflected in the herd. . . . 6 feANY OF OUR SHEEP GOATS' Sluch of the Mutton Sold in Lars Cities Is the Meat of AsKorai. Among stockmen it is notorious that a great deal of meat that is sold for prime mutton in St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville and Kansas City is really Angora goat meat just as good eat ing and far more profitable to the stockmen by reason of . the greater value of the fleece, mohair against wool, says the Kansas City World'. The Angora goat-raising interest is steadily growing throughout . the United States. Its headquarters, that is, the headquarters of the American Angora Goat Breeders' association, are right here in Kansas City. W. T. Mc Intyre is the secretary of this associa tion. Mr. Mclntyre says: "There are 50,000 Angora goats in the eountry to-day and the business is growing fast. It has all been built up since March 14, J891, when our associa tion was formed. Then, according to government statistics, there were but 20,000 Angora goats in the United States. And not one registered. Now we have about 30,000 registered. "Registered goats range in price from $10 to $15 each. Some bucks go from $25 to $500. Plain, unregistered animals bring from $2.50 to $5 a head. It pays to raise any kind, but just now, at any rate from the stud standpoint, it is more profitable to raise registered stock. ''Angora goats do better than sheep anywhere, but are especially better in brush-covered sections. They are far hardier than sheep. "Our asociation has 393 members now, in all parts of the United States and Canada and Mexico. We have some in Australia." TASTE IN FUNNY STORIES. Those Which Are Harmless to Some Minds Are Exceedingly Vul var to others. It is sometimes hard to draw the line between that which is humorous in a story and that which touches danger ously near the domain of vulgarity. A literary dinner given recently brought this difference in tastes prominently into view, says the Chicago Chronicle. At tBre right of the hostess sat a writer who has a record for artistic indecency. At her left w&s a man whose work is sometimes crude, always clean, vig orous, sincere. At first all went well. Then the beautiful decadent was moved to tell a story. He told it well. Its impropriety was subtly suggested, airily outlined. It was the sort of a story that makes one want the windows opened, but that one does not openly resent. The hearers accepted it with vary ing degrees of polite appreciation, but the man of direct and uncompromising views sat and stared in growing won der at the teller. Finally he expressed his opinion. wouldn't tell that story in a bar room," he announced, clearly, emphat ically. An awful hush. A mad and general plunge into innocuous conversation. The sympathy of the diners was with the critic, but social amenities must be preserved. The hostess, who collects literary libns, should not take it for granted that the law of the jungle insures kin dred feeling among the royal beasts. MUCH RAIN HURTS FISHING. No Bit? Catches of Trout or Bass In Western Lakes and Streams of Late. Usually long, frequent, and heavy rains throughout the middle west and northwest have put back the fishing. As a general thing proprietors of re sorts on the inland lakes like to see a wet spring, as those lakes are mostly too shallow, and the higher the water the better the fishing. There has been too much of a good thing, however, says the Chicago Tribune. The floods have washed quantities of food into the lakes and the bass are not eager. The trout is, above all thingsa clean fish, and must have clean water in order to feel well. WTien the streams are muddied and sand and chips are floating down the trout re treat to their hiding places in the deep er pools and staythere until the water above them clears. The bass are not so susceptible, but still dislike to roan much or do much feeding in water that is distributed or swollen. It is the belief that the present sea son will be better than many of those past, because fhe high water now means full lakes later. In late July and August they have been too shal low, but enough of water has been stored up to last them through. In some places they are six feet above the ordinary level. Fiction in Our Libraries. In some of the public libraries of the United States the percentage of fiction called for has been reduced below 60t Even this figure is mis leading. Jfovel devotees read three times as fast as those who call for books of other classes. Novels are often skimmed or returned as unsat isfactory after a few chape rs are sampled. When the novel reading is scaled down by ,, this , consideration the excess of fiction taken out of public libraries is largely reduced. A Victor ial Person. Tattooed on the body of a man who lost his life in the south West Indies docks recently were a crucifix, elephant, tombstone, dog, eagle, fig ures of Punch and Judy, cross flags and the word "love" in large letters.

GOHESSEW Uses Pe-ru-na ''li tew?:. 1 El :;;: . -V CONGRESSMAN J . B . Crowley. Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from Robinson, 111., the following praise for the great catarrhal tonic, Peruna. Congressman Crowley says: , "After giving Peruna a fair trial I can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with coughs, colds and la grippe, and all catarrhal complaints. t "Mrs. Crovley has taken a number of bottles of Peruna on account of nervous troubles. It has proven a strong tonic and last ing cure. 1 can cheerfully recommend it." J. B. CROWLEY. No other remedy invented by man has ever received as much praise from men of high station as Peruna. Over forty members of Congress have tried it and recommended it to suffering humanity. They use It themselves to guard against the effects of the intense strain of public life; to ward off the ill effects of the changeable climate of Washington. They keep it in their homes for famfly nee. They recommend it f their neigh bors, and they do not hesitate in public print to declare their appreciation and endorsement of this greatest of modern remedies. The jealousy that begrudges your neighbor his gladness fills vour own soul with more than Egyptian dark ness and eflectually shuts out every ray of the Sun of Righteousness.
