"Up at my camp near the Pour teaks," told Jim Bark, the well known cattleman, "the boys are all handy with a rifle. We've a lot of guns up there. Most of the new guns were bought during the Spanish war, when we would experiment all day rvlth tree trunks and rough trencher learning the art of war at home. We found that a bullet from one of the new Win­ chesters, driven by smokeless powder, was good for four feet and more of pine timber and for more than an inch of iron. "I thought the boys had done about everything In the shooting line that could be done long ago, but I was mis­ taken. I sent then) up a wagon. In hauling down some firewood they broke the bolsters all to flinders. The bolsters bold up the wagon bed, you know. Well, the boys figured out all right the rebuilding of the wood partfe, but came n°ar being stumped on the Iron fixings. They got some old iron wagon tires and cut them In proper lengths, but hadn't a way that they could see to punch the necessary bolt holes. Finally the question was solv­ ed. One of the boys carefully marked the places for the bolts, stood the piece of tire against a tree and put a bullet, 30 caliber, through the tire at each place marked. It was a novel sort of blacksmithing, but It- worked.*'--Ari- Kona Grapevine. Garland and the Vlrglnin. Cleveland's first attorney general. Garland--a specimen of what Lincoln called the plain people--was born In Arkansas and "raised" In blue jeans. One day, at the department of justice, he received a visit from a Virginia gen­ tleman of aristocratic manner, who bored him horribly with talk about "first families." "It seems to me, suh," said the visit­ or at last, "that there are Gyarlands in No'th Ca'llna.' I once met a gentle­ man named Henry Gyarland, from that state. May 1 ask, suh, if he was a relative of yours?" "First cousin," replied Mr. Garland shortly. "He was hanged for horse stealing." A look of 111 conceived horror and dis­ gust came over the visitor's counte­ nance. Then, drawing on his gloves, he rose to his feet, took up his hat, and, waving a hand toward the walls of the room, • said: "A fine collection of por­ traits you have here, Mr. Gyarland. Your predecessors in office, I pre­ sume?" "Yes," grunted Mr. Garland. The Virginian stalked out, evidently glad to make his escape, and the attorney general, turning to his chief clerk, grinned and remarked: "He'll never bother me flay more."-- Pittsburg Dispatch. * Stole Watch to Get Square. "Great Scott, but that's a fine watch!" came from the chorus. "Where'd you ever get It?" "Stole It," answered its possessor calmly. "You don't believe me, do you?" he went on. "Well, I'll tell you how It happened. I was on a western district which enjoyed the rep­ utation of being the toughest one cov­ ered by the house. I had some time to kill and so went into one of the gam­ bling joints. It isn't necessary to go into details as to what happened. As luck would have it, there were a half dozen others in the place besides my­ self who might be considered *as possi­ ble victims. MWhen the time came, the lights were put out suddenly, and then we had 'rough house' for about ten minutes. In the middle of It I felt somebody grab my watch and reached after him. I caught some one and felt that he was juBt putting a watch in his trousers pocket. I gave his wrist a hard wrench and got the timepiece. Then I broke away. When I got to the light, I found the watch was this one. And as I nev­ er heard from the owner I have kept it to compensate for the loss of mine." --Philadelphia Inquirer. Both Told the Truth. "Truth compels me to state," said the presiding officer of a medical con­ gress, "that upon the list of physicians present just read there is one that is no gentleman." A stir of surprise passed over the as­ semblage at this, and one man Upon whose foot, as the presiding officer said afterward, the shoe seemed to be a per­ fect fit half rose from his seat. But In another moment a woman's voice from the back part of t£%4iall made itself heard. "I quite agree with Dr. Blank," said the voice, "for I am that physician. In my turn I must say, however, that Dr. Blank is no lady." Moro Polygamy. Polygamy is the Moro's by religion and divine right A Moro must give a separate house to each wife, in which she is supposed to set up housekeeping, with a sufficient number of women slaves to wait upon her. She may own them in her own right, but more often her Moro husband must purchase them for her. As women slaves bring a higher price tn the market than men, the drain on the husband's exchequer la immense.--Cincinnati Enquirer. A Different Cut.

Do not let it slip your memory that Alschuler is a disciple of Altgeld. What Altgeld did is what Alschuler will do. if elected to be governor. The sum*' evil influences that surrounded Altgeld surround Alstchuler, but in a more intensified form. Altgeld's administration inheritel a surplus of very nearly $r>,0(J0,000 from the wise and, economic administration of Governor Fifer. At the end of four years Altgeld went out of office leav­ ing a net deficit of $567,301.10. Flfer received from appropriations of all sorts $16,154,388 for the expendi­ tures of the state during four years. Out of this he left a surplus of near­ ly $2,598,244.10 to be exact Altgeld received appropriations to the amount of $19,088,314 and left a deficit of $507,301.10. The tax levies during the four years yt Fifer's administration stood at 36.33 and 31 cents. During Altgeld's term the tax levies rose to 52.55 and && cents. With a retur^ro Republican policies there was a return to economy. Dur­ ing Governor Tanner's term of office not only has the Altgeld deficit been wiped out, hut a clear surplus has been regained. On .July 1, 1900, there was a clear working cash balance of $2,- 105.779 in the state treasury. And the debts of the Altgeld admin­ istration have been paid and a credit balance re-established upon reduced tax levies. The Altgeld levy of 66 cents already has been reduced to 42 cents and a year or two more of Re­ publican administration is likely to bring the yearly levy to the old Re­ publican rate of 31 cents. Don't forget it. Altgeldism and Al- schulerism are one and the same. The same influences will produce the Same results--debt, high taxes, deficits and panic. ' Jit Picture* In the Campaign.
