A Good Example.

A Lowell business man w h o fo r many years had been a n occasional bu t modera te p a t r o n of the sa loons recently observed a number of boys in a drunken condi t ion. I t a roused his indignat ion and he resolved never aga in t o darken a sa loon door . He felt t h a t It w a s incumbent upon him t o set a be t t e r example t o boys and y o u n g men. This m a n is now exert-iug.hls Influence t o keep others o u t of danger a n d more t h a n one man has gone home sober a s a result of his counsel.

We would like t o publish his name for the benefit of example but he modes t ly requested It be wit held.

How (n Bnlid a Derrick WhlchrFaclI-Itates the Work 5 ml la Slmol*

..4tt- e « M t r a u M M i f

Every f a rmer should have his well Eood and clean for the win te r months. Here is a design for a h a n d y well der-rick. The scant l ings a r e 12 feet long, two by four Inches th ick , made of elm. r h e three pieces a t each end and .the middle a re four by four Inches, also 3f hardwood, spiked to t he scantl ing.

DERRICK FOR CLEANING WELL.

A one and one-fourth inch hole Is bored a t the top, about 14 Inches from the end. Another hole, the same size, i s bored a t the bottom, about one and one-half feet from the end.

The cut shows the derrick set up fo r ase. The legs are 11 feet long, four Inches thick, and of good, solid Um-ber. A one and one-fourth Inch hole is bored through the top for the bolt to go through. The inside part of TIE leg where the hole Is bored should be made like a wedge, so as to fit clost.-LY against the scantlings. The pulleys are 12 Inches In diameter , and are made of wood. The rope should be put over the top pulley, and unde r the bottom pulley. The legs should be sunk in the ground, so^they will not slide and let the derr ick fall. A good strong hook should be securely fastened on the rope. A steady horee can operate this all right, once i t i s understood.— H a r r y H. Postle, In F a r m and Home.

1 —The Atlnatic Coaat Strewa w l t k Wrecka aad U v e a Are Lost.

Paterson, N. J. , Oct 13.—For 48 hours | Paterson was at the mercy of the Pas-

saic river, which caused a damage of ' 13,000,000 to 16,000,000 In this city. | Thousands of persons were made tem-' porarlly homeless, most of them being I received a t the houses of f r iends In the ' unHooded districts, while 1,600 were ! sheltered at the armory, fed and cared ' for by the organlied charity of the city. J I t w i l l be impossible to closely estimate I the loss until the flood subsides, but

It will exceed >2,000,000. Only t h r e e bridges and a part of a fourth of t he

| seven below the falls remain, and t he cost to the county to replace those de-stroyed will be a t least $500,000.

Paaanlc a Sufferer , Passa ic was a greater sufferer from

the flood than even Paterson. Twenty mills in Passaic alone were under wa-t e r and 8,000 workers were out of em-ployment. Ten thousand persons have left their homes. Eight hundred houses were flooded in the eaves, and in all 1,000 acres were covered with wa t e r f rom a depth of a few inches to 20 feet Several million feet of lumber were carried down to Newark bay. Twenty-three frame houses went floating down t he Passaic river, and as far as can be est imated the loss of city propei'ty, rea ' estate- and buildings. Is $2,000,000. Twenty-flve bridges were down In Pas-saic and Sussex counties on the Sus-quehanna rai l road.

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 13.—Startling i r-regularities In the enforcement of t he naturalization law effective June 3 have been found in many states through-out the country by C. B. C. Van Deusen, special agent of the depar tment ol Justice, who is now re turning from Ta-coma to Washington.

Van Deusen is a resident of Brooklyn, and 'was sent out to ascertain how the new law Is being enforced by the state and federal courts. After t ravellug through the central and western states he now r e tu rns to Washington to exam-ine reports resulting from the sending of b lanks to 9,000 courts with instruc-tions that they be filled out and returned w i t h Information concerning all na tura l -izations since June 3.

Often Overlooked. The new law Is different from the old

In containing an Ironclad oath which prevents anyone with anarchistic belief or tendencies f r o m becoming a citizen, and is an outgrowth of President Mc-Kinley's assassinat ion. Informat ion concerning this phase of the law was conveyed through t he press and official notification, but Van Deusen finds that it and other provisions of the law a re being overlooked by dozens of courts. I n Tacoma the oath relative to ana rchy has been uniformly required, only four Japanese having been Illegally admit ted to citizenship.

Errors Fonnd. In some states the Irregularities have

been on a wholesale scale. One Chicago Judge was found to have admitted 1,800 foreigners to citizenship In one evening, an act physically impossible unless the oath was administered to applicants In

carried away. These bridges cost $50,-1 platoons, while the law presumes an i n -000. All of the Delaware bridges ex-cept one a re gone between Easton and Por t Jarvls . About 100 houses In South Tren ton were under water.

Oceaa City Deserted. Ocean City, Md., Oct 13.—This city

was practically deserted. The g r ea t e r part of the city was submerged and many of the residents fled. A section of the front of Congress Hal l hotel, about 100 feet In extent, was torn away and the entire ocean f ront of the Windsor hotel collapsed. A large number of cottages also were destroyed.

Loaa on the Coaat. New York , Oct. 13.—Reports of ship-

wrecks and immense losses on t he At-lantic coast in the hurr icane of t he last two days were received in New York.

C., a passenger, who was thrown against the cabin and Instantly killed whi le the Old Domin-ion liner Jefferson was struggling JO free Itself from a gigantic wave.

Valley Flooded. New York, Oct 13.—With a roar that

could be heard fo r miles, a wall of wa t e r 15 to 20 feet high rushed down the QAM-apo valley last n i g h t sweeping every-thing in i ts path fo r a distance of ten miles. Thousands of dollars' worth of damage was done to homes, l ive stock and business establishments from Sloatsburg to Pompton.

Widewater, Va., Oct. 9.—The SO-foot steel-built flying machine, the c l imax of years of exhaust ive study In the efforts of Prof. Samuel P. Langley , secretary of t h e Smithsonian Inst i tut ion, to solve the problem of mechanical flight in midair, was launched yesterday afternoon, and the experiment, carefully planned and delayed for months , proved a complete failure. The Immense airship sped r ap -Idly along Its 70-foot track, was carr ied by its own momentum for 100 yards , and then fell gradually into the Po tomae river, whence It emerged a total wreck .

in Ohio, where over 250,000 men have been admitted to ci t isenship by pro-bate Judges, who have no right to ad-minister the oath. From a legal stand-point these men still are foreigners.

I t is understood that the many e r ro r s have prompted President Roosevelt to suggest tha t a bill be presented to the next congress l imiting the r ight of na t -ural izat ion to the federal courts.

These brave men frequently had to disguise themselves as well BP to con-ceal their purpose, while within the lines of the enemy.

Only undur certain conditions, the dairy means wealth to ..ic la rmer , aud leni l l ly to IIIB l a r m il ihede tuud i -tlons be not secured, and manudined , dairying will exhaust the larm and Im-yoverish tbe fa rmer more speedily and more hopelessly than almost any o th-9r form of tarmlng. Wnen the milk is sold off the l a rm, it carr ies wiin It Ui^teClUlty of the soil, and generally " e net price of the milk is too low to pay for making it and to replace the fertility removed with IL This hard tact underlies all tue eompiauub' 01 i a l r y f a rmers about the profltlea-incsa }f dairy farming.

Old-time dairy fa rming sent Irom the f a r m only tho but ter , and the oid-tlme fa rmers marie money and were the most Independent men on an l i . Whn fa rmers once more take up home shurning, dairy f a rming will once more become steadily and s a th f ac -torlly profitable, and dairy fa rms will once more Increase, iuotead of de-crease, In fert i l i ty. The most forlorn thing in the fa rming region is the large dairy fa rm, once fert i le and op-erated profitably by its owner, who made but te r , now worn-out and s ta rv-ing and working to dea th the tenant who occupies and operates It. I t pro-duces only f ract ional crops of grans, jorn, rye, whea t and o ther crops, and the milk i t makes is poor in quality, small in quanti ty, and high In cost.

It goes away In cans while tbe churn rots in the 3hed or garret . I t nets the tenant 75 cents for each dollar be puts Into I t He can ' t pay bis rent . The owner says he Is no good. The tenant says tbe f a rm Is no good—and both are right. The churn, substi tuted for the can, would change such f a r m s de-cidedly and profitably for both o w n y and tenant . When will f a r m e r s open their eyes to the business folly Im-plied In the senseless work t ha t is mla-tailed "dairy f a rming?" But ter Is the basis of f a r m wealth and fer t i l i ty , but . 'armers in these days seem to think tha t but te r -making is hard work in comparison with milk shipping. On this fundamenta l e r ror they have built and .are main ta in ing the losing ship-ping business, throwing away the soil of their f a r m s a long wi th their own strength, heal th , work, comfor t and Uvea.—Midland F a r m e r .

BY A. B. CIIAKTKR.

She sat a t t he window constantly. I'm not a Jealous woman, but 1 must,

say I could not help noticing that f rom the first.

The window was opposite the dining-room window, and the dining-room was also our si t t ing-room. And there sho was all the t ime Charles Augustus was at home. I did not see him look at her, but of course he did. Men arc all alike. Besides, if I saw her, why shouldn' t he?

if he had f rankly owned it, I'd have not thought of the mat ter ; but when I said to him, "That ' s ra ther a pret ty girl . Isn't I t?" and be said, "What g i r l?" and I said, "At tbe window," and he said, "Haven ' t seen a fioul there"—why 1 began to be suspicious.

j So, when I 'd said, "Ah!"—jus t " a h ! " —I said no more, but I watched; and

I the more 1 watched the more unpleasant | mat ters grew. You would not have

liked It e i ther , to see a bold-faced thing I like that s ta r ing at your husband, I can 1 tell you; not so much as pretending to

read or sew, or anything. I am a little near-sighted, and I

couldn't tell what her expresslon"^vas, I but the very way she carried her head

was enough for me. I'll tell you Just where the window

was; not opposite, but at the side, as It were. Our house was the first house In tbe s treet , and the house with the win-dow was tbe first in the s treet that crossed It.

A t first 1 contented myself with pull-ing down the blinds, but she never minded that . Then I stared at her—af-ter Charles Augustus had gone out, you know—for she kept there still. But a

| man came to the window, and of course j I had to go away. | I suppose he pulled their blinds down,

for down they were at all events, pretty I soon, and I congratulated myself; but

next morn ing they were up again, and j there s h e was, with her hair In puffs I and curls, as though she were going to | a ball. No woman ever dressed her hair 1 In tha t way before breakfast without ! having some good reason fo r It. 1 Now, Charles Augustus and I bad only

been marr ied a year, and I had no fau l t to find with' him; but still, men are so much a l ike the world over, and It was odd he never spoke of her. If he had said, "Wha t a very forward young per-son," o r , " I t must annoy you, my dear , to have any one s tar ing like tha t Into your room," or something of that sor t , it would have seemed so much better .

1 fe l t sure be noticed her , and at las t I knew It. He had bidden me good-by Just as fondly as possible, and pretend-ing tha t he bad someth ing to do which obliged him to go out earlier than usual; and, ten minutes after , happening to go to my window. I saw him In that room. Yes, a t t h e very window, wllh tha t Impudent creature. I fel t my bead swim, and 1 couldn't see or hear any-thing fo r a moment . Then I summoned all my courage.

"Edi th Robblns," I said lo myself, "you must do something. You must not sit down tamely and let this go on. Pu t on your hat, go round tbe corner, enter the door and face tha t creature; put an

Confederate Solilier Who Wouldn't Surrender It Even to Coni-

mandlnir Officer.

Lewis S. Tru l t t died a few weeks sgo In Abbeville, S. C. He was a member of the Nineteenth South Carolina regi-ment , and was conspicuous for his brav-ery In the bat t les around Atlants , says t h e Columbia S ta r of recent date.

In one of these bat t les he was the sev-enth man to take up the flag, six basing been killed or wounded within a short while, and he advanced the standard to the top of the enemy's ear thworks In tho face of a galling art i l lery fire.

It-was at one t ime during the progress of this bat t le that the confederate lines were badly broken, and Gen. Stephen D. Lee, riding up to Trul t t , demanded the colors, but Tru l t t refused to surrender

them. Gen. Lee said to h im: "Do you know

who I a m ? " t h e reply was : "Yes. I know >ou are Gen. Lee, but It Is my duty to carry tho flag, and I will carry It wherever you order , but you cannot take I t "

Gen. Lee passed on to another regi-ment and upon demanding the colors they were delivered to him.

Several years ago, while Gen. Lee was visit ing this place, Mr. Trul t t railed on him, and the Incident Just related being mentioned Gen. Lee asked h im: "Were you the.man who gave me the flng or tbe one who did no t?"

The answer being In tbe negative, Gen. Lee replied: "Would to Ood there had been 10,000 more there Just like you, a n d ' a different s to ry would have been told of those fearful battles.".

At once I grew strong. I rose and put on my aat and Jacket. I took my par-asol in my hand, and, choking down my tears, v. nIked slowly out of the door I had entered a happy bride 12. months before. Should I ever be happy aga in? I did not know; perhaps this was but the dawn of some great misery.

I turned the corner and entered the hal lway of the first bouse. U was dlngy and dark. I t did not suggest the neigh-borhood of refined people. Tbe doors were all closely shut , but I made my way along the hall and knocked at t he first one. Some one called "Come In."

I opened the door and entered. The first th ing tha t caught my eyes was a tall figure, s i t t ing In an armchair , wrapped In a sheet. A man was bending over her. Something glittered In the a i r .

I recognized the face of Charles Au-gustus In the sheeted form, and the ruffian who had stared at me In the d readfu l c rea ture who brandished the weapon over his head. I t was all plain to me. He had by some means been be-guiled Into th i s awful place t ha t he might be robbed and murdered. I gave a shriek and fainted away.

When I came to myself Charles Au-gus tus was clasping me In his arms, and a s t range man held a cologne bot-t le to my nose, while the bold creature I had noticed stared dawn at me. I gasped:

"Where am I?" And Charles Augustus answered very

kindly, but not very cheerfully, " In the hairdresser 's , my dear , and

as It Is Just t b e hour when It Is busiest, t be sooner we get home the bet ter , I th ink ."

And then I began to unders tand. They wrap gentlemen up in sheets before ^bey cut their hair and shave them, you know, and the deadly weapon was a razor. And the bold creature—well, the re she stood, and she certainly Bad her hair curled and puffed—but as be-low her shoulders she was only a wood-en block.

A fellow striking the editor for a quarter said: " I am t p against it ." Judging by his breath, we think he had been up against the bar. Giving to men in their cups, is not charity.

THE spectacle of a man carrying a poodle dog and leading a tottering baby was witnessed in Lowell recently. Where was the fool killer?

A NEWS-PAPER report has it that Attorney General Knox has spent but $2,000 of the $900,000 appropriated by Congress for the enforcement of the anti-trust law. The results seem to be commensurate with the expenditures. As well send a baby hunting lions with a putty gun.

T H A T T o p e k o professor who has declared "Shall We Gather at the River" and "God Be With You" to be "immoral" is too good to be trusted. He is a fine sample of educated fools, and Washburne college is disgraced by him. The hymns named are immortal, uot immora[; and will be sung for an eternity after the fool-killer has done a needed job in Topeka.

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER is reported to have a desire to go on the lecture platform and tell "What Religion Has Done for" him. We can tell you in two seconds, John. It has made the biggest hypocrite this side of the moon. You rob eyery widow and orphan in America through your Standard oil steal, kil* honest competition by gigantic wrongs, making yourself your countrymen's worst enemy, and then by giving a few millions of the spoils to a stultified university whose professors sneeze every time you take snuff, think to buy your way to a million-aire's heaven, and talk about what religion has done for you. Crawl through the needle's eye will you, you old skinflint!

"Men consider themselves t h e «a-porlor to women, and women, even In their childhood, coincide in this view," said a school teacher, accord-ing to tbe Chicago Tribune. "To a class of fifty girls and fifty boys, of the nvprsge of 16 years , I ones put the ciiiestlon: 'Who is your Ideal human being—the one you admi re and love mostT' In reply to th i s quesllon about 95 per c e n t of the boys gave me a male ohsracter and 76 per c e n t of tbe girls did the same thing.

"Statist ics, I unders tand, have been gathered on this matter , and these prove quite conclusively tha t boys and girls alike prefer men to women. When girls are under 10, about 40 per cent, of them will, according to the statistics, name women as the i r best loved characters, but M they grow older this minori ty changes over to the men's side.

"The characters t ha t are chosen are. ss a rule, George Washington. William Tell, Napoleon and Shakes* pcare." ,

tSue r s r of MoantHla C l l a i S l a s . Speaking of mountain climbing. Sir

Martin Conway's Alpine record of the year 1894 is another s tar t l ing proof of what man Is physically capable of doing and enduring. Sir Mart in 's tour last-ed 86 days During t ha t t ime he cov-ered 1.000 miles on foot, ascended 21 peaks of an average height of 11,B00 feet, and crossed 39 lofty passes. I t has been calculated t ha t a man who cl imbs a 7.000-foot peak in five hours exer ts enough energy to raise five fully loaded locomotives one foot f rom the ground.
