bullets and carry off the money from
passengers and express cars. No won»
der tho express company whose chioi
route is through this dark and bloody
ground refuses to carry any more vuln-
ebles ovor the demon haunted road.
That such a spot should exist in the
United States is a blot on our nation.
The situation is almost serious enough
to call for an extra session of congress.
After all. what good did it do the
robbers who held up the train and cap-
cured £20,000. more or less, from the
express car at Aquia Omit. Va? They
themselves have bmn captured. and one
of them, who weakened, confessed and
guided the officers to the spot where part
’ of the plunder was hidden. He had get
drunk and gambled away several hun-
dred dollars of the money he carried off
with him when the officers got him.

All the streams in crystal clear. The
nightly frost vanishes before the rising
Inn. All animated nature thrills with
new life as the blood is reviviiled in
preparation for winter. The, country
dweller finds a keeper relish in every
sort of food. He springs from his bed in
the morning freshened by a sounder
sleep. He does his work with such case
that exertion is a pleasure and he breaks
into hilarious song and shouting, glad
that he is alive.
It is then that the country. editor finds
it a pleasure I) “canvass" among the
farmers. It is so refreshing to saunter
through the woods and “just happen
in" about dinner time when sweet pots~
toes just from the soil that morning
and fresh pork or game smoke on the
table, when butter is hard and milk
cold without ice and all the fall fruits
are at their best. The politician is out
too. There is “speaking" at the coun-
try schoolhouse at night, where the
other party is “rose " and the “cause
of these hard times" set forth in Eng-
lish which far more than makes up in
force what it lacks iiiireflnement. Tru-
ly our dialect post was justified in his
rollicking parody:
0h. who would die in autumn
With .1] fruit so at for eating.
When all good things are getting ripe
And candidates are treating?
The wild creatures, too. have their
fun at this season. The crow. of all
birds the knowingest, calls his fellows
into consultation, and after the pending
question is settled he takes his enjoy-
ment in teasing other creatures. The
quails know when the “semen" comes
almost as soon as the hunter does. and
the watchword, “A man with a gunl"
flies rapidly from field to field, or, if it
does not, why is it that a covey which
one day will run along by one's horse
so near that the rider can almost strike
them with his whip will a day or two
later keep carefully out of gunshot?
Surely they have means of learning
“when the game law runs out. " Just
before cold weather is the time to enjoy
the society of the squirrels. One may
then sit perfectly quiet in the woods.
and these pretty creatures will come so
near him that their every motion may
be studied. But let him make the slight-
est stir, and, whisk! those little bright
eyes have recognized on enemy, and the
nimble creature is on the opposite side
of the nearest tree.
The latest conclusion of advanced
Darwinians is that man is descended
not from the monkey, but from a crea-
ture near akin to the present squirrel,
which survived the horrors of the plcis-
tocene era because of its great brain pow-
cr, and-there is reason in it. it is fun
to surprise the squirrel when he has but
one tree for wings, and that one with
no leafy top, and see how skillfully he
maneuvers to keep on the side opposite;
hence the currcnt rural conundrum: If
the man goes around the tree, the squir-
rcl always on the opposite side, does the
man go around the squirrel? It is strange
that the question could‘bo raised. Sure-
ly a man who goes around a circle goes
around everything inside the circle. and
what difference can it make whether the
thing moves or not. so long as it ro-
mains within the circle?
Indian summer is indeed beautiful,
and the cold. clear season which fol-
lows it is pleasant, too; but, alas! much
of the old time glory has passed away.
We no longer have those long stretches
of primeval forest—miles on miles of
walnut. oak and other splendid truss.
with source a stick amiss. We no longer
crack jokes, tell stories and drink cider
by tho crackling hickory wood fires.
We have to burn coal now, and too
often in a stove. We novor-—tlmt is,
hardly over—hear the faraway hunk,
hunk of the wild goose'in the clear cold
air of late autumn as they wing their
way to the south. We can no longer
range at will in deep woods for wild
fruit or game. Will our children have
any romance of early days at all to look
back to? Is it possible that they can ~10
years hence look back with sentimental
regret to this open country and endless
fields, to coal stoves and their accom—
puniincnts as we do to those magnificent
forests alive with game and the roaring
fires in the old broad fireplace?
In England tbs favorite American
apple is the Newton pippin. Noxt after
that cotno tho King and the Baldwin.
It is a great pity so many American
furmors have not yet learned to pack
apples decently in a barrel. The fruit
should be of uniform size, color and flu-
vor, packed regularly in the barrel with
tho blossom end down. A slovonly bar-
rcl of apples, such as the British call
“slack packed and wasty, " brings from
50 cents to '1 loss than one packed in

It was a strungsspictai is indeed. aft-
or all the persecution of the Hebrew
race by Czar Alexander, that of prayers
for his recovery offered by the Jews in
every synagogue in Russia. The fact is
they had to do it. it was an official or-
der that such a service be bold in every
house of worship in the empire. When
the Bosnian government orders one of its
subjects oven to say his prayers, he has
to do it or go to hibcriu.
The next fashionable fad will be the

ll) “HOW.
Three months ago i‘ on: told us the
mowitz was so madly in love with
little Princess Alix that he gave no
peace to his imperial pa till he was be-
trothed to her. His imperial pa and me
and his aunt, the Princess of Wales.
wanted him to marry somebody else.
Alix had a nervous trouble, which was
against her in the minds of the august
persons named. But the reliable news
correspondents cabled over to us at our
expense that tho czarowitz would have
nobody but Alix; that it was, feared he
would do something desperate if he did
not get her. Alix on her part was just
as madly in love with him as it was
proper for a princess to be with any-
body. It had been love at first sight.
The reliable news correspondent padded
out touching columns at the American
newspapers’ expense about this case of
true love.
The wedding of the two lovers was
fixed. Then suddenly the reliable Amer-
ican news correspondent changes his
tune. He cables over to us that the
czarowitz has been for u long time so
cretly and desperately in love with a
Russian actress. His pa and ma had
sent him on his travels to break up his
infatuation, but it was nogood. This
had young man was even married to the
actress secretly a few months ago, the
correspondent telegraphs at the expense
of the American newspaper. Moreover.
the young heir to the Russian throne ro-
fuscd to enter into the “loveless mar-
riage" with Princess Alix. even at tin-
risk of making his invalid pa desperately
angry.
This sort of news has a tendency to
confuse the American reader in his
mind. He is only conscious of [one‘iiis-
tinct inipi'vssion in the midst of tho
muddle. That is an impression that he
would enjoy wringing the neck of the
accomplished and highly paid American
news corrospomlcnt in Europe.

are of such tompernmcnt and likull for-
mation that they are really miral luna-
tica. They are peculiarly susoiptlblo to
outside influences, influences which. in
Professor Crocq’s judgment, seem to be
floating in the air. In times of violent
politicaloxcitemcnt they are influenced
by the intcmpcrsto language of writers
and craters of the limo, and they go off
their heads and kill. These orator-s and
writers discuss schemes of destruction;
the anarchist crank goes and executes

destructive ideas are. therefore. in Pro
