Ellis. It is pleasure to be able to bay one of of the good qld carmine two cent stamps of Uncle Ham's series in place of having the "shin plasters" of the unsuccessful Columbian series forced on you.v The utter folly of trials of etrength be tween man and . man is shown by the enisode of Saturday night at'the East End. A hand-to-hand fight never es tablishes a principle, and only shows the accident of who of the two is the etrong- est. The evil of it is. in this case, for instance, that one is maimed for life and the other has a brilliant prospect for serving a term of years in the peniten tiarv. It is a mistake to euppose it- is manly to fight. Coxey the bland, Coxey the lmpreg ' nable, Coxev the enthusiast has started for Washington with his tatterel "army." People out in Ohio treat the attair as a huge joke but there may be some serious features connected with it before Wash ineton is reached. The fact that some of the sheriffs have decided not to per mit the regiment of tramps to cross their ' territories and will call on the troops if -necessary, does not augur well for even the sanguine and foxey Coxey. The Gothenburg system of regulating the liquor traffic must be pronounced a failure in the United States, as the trouble in South -Carolina attests. . Gov Tillman himself ia antagonistic to the measure, though he is making all the efforts in hia power to preserve order within the state. Prohibitionists will realize as never before the extent of an tagonism with which they have to con "tend, when, though it ia shame to say it,' state troops retnse to be marshaled against" the rioters of Darlington and .Florence.. L0 AS. A GUNNER. A Cut Where He Can't Shoot with a KAHa Well as with a Revolver. Bo War Department Reports Glm . Some In teresting; Statistics, Showing;, the ' Indian to Be an Expert Pls . tol Shot The New York Herald rightly says the "income' tax rider should be cat off fhe tariff bill. If the people want the in come tax let the matter be considered separately. The income tax is not res ponsible for . the paralyzed condition of business interests all over the country. 'We want now a settlement of the tariff question. The income tax can wait. - The Herald says: "To begin with, the rider is entirely out of place in a tariff bill. The two things are separate and distinct. - They should be treated in dependently. So treated," the income tax should be stamped out as an imposi tion foreign to republican institutions nd repugnant to American sentiment. The tariff bill should then be sent to a joint conference committee without use- less debate. That is what the people would imperatively order if a vote could be taken today. Their emphatic coin mand would be to cut short the agitation which is upsetting the business of the country and pass a tariff bill-without -delay. The delay of the senate is in tolerable when a revival of prosperity is dependent on its action." Reports received at the war depart ment of recent small arms competi tions among the troops in the far west show conclusively that the noble red man, as represented in Uncle' Sam's military service, does not compare favorably with- his. pale face brother in the matter of sharpshooting. There is a popular idea, rained from Cooper's Leather Stocking tales, and even more modern literature, about the "dusky denizens of the forest;" that all war riors are . superior marksmen. Army statistics, examined by, the Washing ton Star, prove that this is a romantic delusion, so far as the Indian soldier is concerned." In recent competitions the Indians who have been enlisted in the army of the Colorado have had a chance to show what they could do 'side by side with white men. ' The best tha't can be said of them in the report i3 that they have made progress since be ing enlisted, but it also says that the sights on the rifles are still incompre hensible to; them, and . that much, patience has been necessary on the part of the officers to , bring them' to any understanding at all of the. prin ciples of marksmanship. Troop It of the Second cavalry, that being an In dian company, showed an individual average figure of merit of 42.22. while the average figure of merit of the com pany was 78.88. In collective firing the Indian aver age was 31.57, while the men of the other troops made an average of 62.70. .The Indians in the Eleventh infantry made for their company (I) the average individual figure of merit of 25.0o, while the figure of the other' troops was 62.87. In the Sixteenth infantry there is one company of Indians. Their figure of merit by individual classifica tion was an average of 37.14. while the figure of the white troops was the high average of 93.10. In collective firing the Indian average was 29.39, as com pared with the white average of 70.47. At pistol firing the Indians do bet- .ter. There is a separate report on this sort of firing for the same troops, and troop L of the Second cavalry, being composed exclusively of Indians, made a record of which, the men should be proud, if they ever learn about it. At dismounted practice they made an average of 73.88, as compared with the general average for' the command of 06.70; at mounted practice their aver age was far ahead of that of the white troops, and their average per cent, for all firing was 65.72, as compared with 59.48 for the whole command. The Iir- dians stood first in order of merit for revolver firing for the department. There were some other interesting statistics obtained by this practice. The natives of the United Stated stood televentn in order of merit among nationalities, Norway, Austria, Swit zerland, Ireland, France, Denmark, Scotland, Germany, Canada and Bel gium coming in order before the United States. The men of six feet in height and over were also highest in order of merit as sharpshooters and the shortest men were the lowest. The men of light blue eyes were-the best marksmen with those of dark blue next. Even the light blue eyed men were the best marksmen among the negroes. The report calls attention to the: fact that the percentage made by the Indians at revolver practice was greater than the percentage made by the winners of the gold medals in the revolver matches at the cavalry competitions of the de partment fcr the years 1892 and 1893. It was also the; highest record made under existing i regulations by any troop in the department. the Astrology Racket Did. " Not Work. The brown-eyed, blonde young wom an from the West had charmed a swell young man with her large and com modious fprtune, and he was doing all in his power to win her, says the De troit Free Press. She wasn't a fool by a great deal, and that made it ninety per cent, more difficult for him, and forced him to develop ail his resources. At last he struck upon a plan- which he thought had the prize package m it. I have never told you, - he said to her one evening, "that loug before I ever saw you fate hod directed me to you. " . " - "Indeea?:' she responded, so . sin cerely that his heart beat faster, and her face blushed at the compliment.. Yes; and it came about ma remark able way. Just for fun, one day. Icon- suited an astrologist, and she told me that I would never care for any woman until I had met one who was then' only a schoolgirl, a beautiful, golden-haired creature, with wonderful brown eyes, whose home was toward the setting sun. I laughed at the prophecy, but I found that the words of the seer were true, lor 1 never cared lor any woman until I saw you." Then lie stopped, embarrassed and palpitating, thinking she would fall --into his arms. But she did not; on the contrary, she snickered. . Are you sure your astrological friend spoke of a golden-haired school girl?" she asked. " - " How could I ever forget?-' he reH sponded, intensely. 1 ou couldn t, probably, she twit tered; "only, when I was a schoolgirl I wasn't golden-haired.. I've only been using blondine for the last year, don't you know?' And then a heavy weight seemed to fall on him and he staggered away. .- . MONEY IN A' MONKEY FARM Frlnce Cliantu Kew-trdzd. .

Eastern states. ' Rev. Joseph Doddridge, in his "Xotes on the Settlement and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of "V lrgmia and Pennsylvania," gives a detailed and realistic'account of the pioneer life of that region. He was born in 1709. . His mother died six or seven years after ward, and his father sent him to Mary land to school. On his way thither he saw some wonderful things and had some surprising experiences, which he thus describes: At Col. Brown's in the mountains I for the first time saw tame geese, and for bantering a pet gander I got a se vere bitin'g by his bill and beating by his wings.; I wondered very much that birds so large and strong should be so much tamer than the wild turkeys.

The funniest thing I witnessed during the brief but exciting period known as the boom, in Birmingham Ala.," said Dr. Everett to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter, "was the formation of a company to establish monkey farm. About the time the ex citement was at its greatest two bank ers from a country town came writh f ortv thousand dollars in cash and were very anxious to get into the little group of capitalists who were making big money. They haunted two or three of the leading investors until finally Dr. Jackson, who stood at the head of the local .financial world, told them he had a friend with a. scheme which he himself was putting twent3' thousand dollars. . and if they really wanted to invest he- could, as personal favor, secure a like amount if one-half was paid down, tne other half to be paid in at a meeting to be held in a few days. - ; '-' - "The banker wrote, a check for ten thousand dollars.and felt jubilant that at last he had been admitted into the charmed circles of financiers. In a fe-w days he was notified to attend a meet ing of the stockholders, which he did. Then the promoter of the enterprise explained it." His plan was to buy an island near Mobile, send an expedi tion to Africa and South America to secure monkeys, stock the farms with one hundred thousand monkeys, and raise them for the market. " "An elaborate array of statistics was given, ' showing the cost and market price of monkeys and figuring out im mense profits, but it was necessary that : the entire amount subscribed should be paid at once. . The banker jumped to . his feet. 'I don't want no monkey farm. . I knows nodings about dose monkey business. You can keep my ten thousand dollars if you release me from that subscription.' This was done, and he swallowed his hargin and disappointment at the loss as best he could. In a few weeks the money was returned to him.'and it was explained that it was all a joke, but the banker had a two hundred dollar dinner to pay for." ' . . First Rational Bank.

The cabin and its furniture I . . were such as ! had been accustomed to Sight and Telegraphic Exchange sold on see in the backwoods, as my country was then called. ' At Bedford everything was changed. The tavern at which my uncle' put up was a stone house, and was plastered inside, both as to the walls and the ceiline. I was. struck with astonish ment. -I had no idea that there was any house in the world which was not built of logs, but here I looked round the house and could see no logs, and above I could sec no'ioists. Whether such a thinir had been made . by the hands of man. or - had crown up of itself, I could not conjecture. When supper came on, my confusion was worse confounded. A little cup stood in a bigger one, with some brownish stuff in it, which was neither milk, hominy, nor broth. W hat to do with these little cups and. the little snoons belonging to them 1 could not tell, and I was afraid to ask. I watched to see whaVthe big folks would do. and then did the same, and found the coffee nauseous beyobd any thing I had ever tasted. I continued to drink, as the rest of the company did, with the tears streaming from my eyes; but when it was to end I was at a lossto know, as' the little cups were filled immediately after being emptied. This circumstance distressed me very much, but looking attentively at the srrown persons, J saw one man turn nis cut) bottom upward and put his spoon across it. I observed that after mat his cut) was not filled again, and I followed his example with a like happy result. Boots, Shoes, Hats, Kte. Etc., Kte. Kte. SUTHERLAND, M. D C. M.; F. T. M. Ct M. C.
