"John ‘prard Payne.'_pauthor of-
personal ‘fi‘ieiidgof a John ROSS, who1
will be- remembered as the celebrated
chief of the Cherokees." At the time
the Cherokees were removed from
f-their homes in Georgia to their present
possessions, west of the Mississippi
river, Payne was spending a few weeks
';;wi.th Ross,’ who Was occupying a mis-
Verable . cabin; having been forcibly
ejected from his former home. A
number of the prominent Cherokees
were in, prison, and.that portion of
Georgia where the tribe was located
was secured by armed squads of mili-
tia, :who ho'doredrs‘to arrest all who.
: refused to; leave the country.
,While Ross and Payne were seated
before tlie fire in the hut, one day,
the door was suddenly burst open,
and” six or 'eight. militiamen sprang
into the‘_roo'm‘. The soldiers lost no
time in taking their prisoners away.
r Ross waspermitted to ride his own
horse, while Payne was mounted on
one led by a soldier. As the little
party left the hovel rain began falling,
and continued till every man was
drenched thoroughly. _
The journey lasted all night. To—
ward midnight Payne’s escort, in order
to keep himself awake, began hum-
ming “Home, home; sweet, sweet
home,” when Payne remarked,—
song under such circumstances, and
at suph a time! Do you know the au-
thor? ’ ‘
”No,” said the soldier. “Doyou?”
“Yes,” answered Payne. “I com-
posed it.”
“The deuce you did!” was the re-
ply. “You can tell that to some fel-
lows, but not to me. Look here—you
made that song, you say. If you did
-——and I know yOu didn’t—you can say
it all without stopping. It has some-
thing in it about pleasures and pal-
aces. Now pitch in and reel it off:
and if you Can’t I'll bounce you from
that horse and lead you instead of it.”
Payne immediately repeated the
song in a slow, subdued tone, then
sang it, making the old woods ring
with tender. mélody. \It touched the
heart of the rough soldier, who was
not only captivated, but convinced;
he ordered that the composer of such
a song should never go to prison if he
could help it; and when the party
reached Milledgeville, they were, af-
ter a. preliminary examination, dis-
charged, much to their surprise.
Payneinsisted that it was because the
leader of the squad had been under
the magnetic influence of Ross’s con-
versation, and Ross insisted that tliey
had been saved from insult and .im-
prisonment by the power of "Home,
Sweet Home,” sung as only those who
feel can sing it.
The friendship existing between
Ross and Payne endured until the
grave closed over the mortal remains
of the latter. '

VARIOUS KINDS OF DRUG HABITS.
Many Who Wouldn’t Drink Alcoholic
Stimulants Addicted to Herbs.
‘Since many kinds of medicine began
to be putinto tablet form it is much
easier to fall‘into the habit of giving
yourself continuous treatment. vThe
soda mint habit is the most commpn
of all. You will find men nowadays
who buy their tablets in quantities,
and crave them as the cigarette smoker
craves a smoke. The strong pepper—
mint tablet is also in great demand.
Then'there are cloves and sharp sting
ing “breath sweeteners”—all intended
to calm‘a‘disordered stomach or have
a biting and warming effect.
‘ A druggist told of one customer who,
maintained that he would die of dys-r
pepsia were it not for the constant use
of peppermint chewing gum. Others
will have nothing but the spruce gum-
Men and women who would not take -
an alcohOlic stimulant under‘any cir-
cumstances keep their small pockets
stuffed with roots and herbs. The cal-
amus-root or the “sweet flag” is the
favorite nibble With the herb victims,
although the lovage root is more stim-
ulating. '
There is a gentian habit and a gin-
seng habit. It often happens that some-
astringent root or herb is:-used as a
substitute for tobacco, with the result.
that the tobacco habit is cured but is
succeeded 'by a craving far the cure._

A Boon to Duck, Hunters.
It is fortunate thatthe commentsof
many sportsmen while attempting to
untangle a set of decay ducks and lines
with anchors made from old door- -
knobs, railroad spikes, chunks of lead
and miscellaneous scrapiron, in the
teeth of a brisk, icy breeze, are car-
ried away on the wings of the wind.
The experience, as all duck hunters
can tell, is to the last degree exasperat-
ing. A new method of anchoring de—j-
coys has been devised, which its in-.
ventor claims is deStined to be a' great _'
moral'influence. When this anchor is ’
used the lines can not become .én-
tangled, and the Setting of decoys is
accomplished as rapidly. as a sports?"
man can pick them up from his boat-
and throw them to the desired position.
Another advantage is that when after
a day’s sport the shooter starts to pick
up his decoys he finds the anchors un-
fouled with weeds. Theseanchors are

HOW THEY RAILROAD IN CHINlA .
Some of the Difficulties Under Which the
. Roads Arc Conducted.
A missionary writing from China to
a friend in this“ city recently described
the difficulties under which the newly
completed railroads are conducted in
that country. ‘ .
Passengers in'the first-class coaches,
he said, exhibitedso strong a desire to
carry off various artiCles from the cars
‘as souvenirs of their trip that the
coaches were speedily stripped of those
things that contribute to the comfort
of the passenger. They took _ away
withgthem hat and bundle racks, mir-
rors," lamp brackets, hooks, small
tables, and even doors. They were
considerate enough to leave the car
frame and wheels. And the purloin'ers
were government oflicials and people
belonging to the wealthyclasses.
The stations along the railroad over
which the writer traveled were rude
sheds, very unclean, and. Without a
chair or bench. The cars, too, were
very'dirty. While this .was especially
true of the second-class coaches, which
were oftentimes crowded with h_alf—
naked, unwashed people, the first—class
coaches also became very unclean in
a. short time. It soon became neces-
sary to take out all the-upholstery and
replace it-by plain sea-ts. .
When the railroads were being built
reports were spread that the foreign con-
tractors were stealing Chinese children
and burying them in the roadbed so,
as to propitiate the‘god who rules over
railroads. These reports greatly 'ex-
cited the people, ’and in o'ne'instance
a mob attacked two missionaries near
Pekin, and would have killed them had.
' not a detachment of soldiers rescued
them. Under guise ofvthese reports
children were really kidnapped and
taken into the cities for immoral pur-
poses—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
