and patch up and go South. I'll uev»r-i:
forget that driye._ It was a bright star
light night and so frosty that we had to
get down and run along the road beside
the wagons to keep warm. There ■
wasn t an overcoat nor a wrai) nor a;
stitch of cold weather underwqjdfo the'
crowd, but we intended to those^
things in Pittsburg, such as wf won I a
need in the South
"Business was not so good in Butler
as it had been in other places; the
weather was too cold. But we had a
fair andience at night —enough to leave
' a few dollarsover after paying expenses.
' Such a happy crowd as we were,
i English Charley, the clown, never sang
I his old time-worn song about the agri
' cultural Irish girl' so well before, and
t we were all in fine fettle as we lined up
behind him to join in the chorus
"She was a big. long, lean, lank
Sort of an agricultural Irish giri
She never paints nor powders.
Her figure was all her own.
She would hit that hard.
Yon wonld think you were struck by
i the kick of a mule,
j Tlie full of the house of Irish loye
Was Mary Ann Malone.
Many a time that season we had
this chorus in a half-hearted way,
j but u> night there was plenty of vim in
1 it- ,
And then came the star act of the
! show the one that always pleased the
country people. This was
1 Boston. the chandellier man.
I and his trick mule, Boston used to tend
I the lights and also act his trick mule.
' Made up as a clown he bounced into the
I ring with his mule and rode it around
and around and then announced, as be
had every afternoon and night that
summer; .
I "Ladies and gentleman. I wish to an
nonnce to you here and now that the
' management of this show will pay *lOOO
iu gold to the man, woman, or child
who will ride this animal twice around
the rin*." , ,
Then he paused, whip in hand an<l
looked around the circle of seats, as he
always did. Of course no one but Bos
ton himself could ride that mule. Had
n't a thousand people attempted it and
got bruised and laughed at for their
trouble? The thought that it was even
possible tor anyone but Boston to ride
that mule more than ten feet en
tered the mind of a man in the outfit.
"Boston repeated his offer and a tall
gangling countryman got up from the
top and rear row of seats and picked
his way down to the ring.
" Ah!' shouted Boston, liere conies a
gentleman who hopes to win that thou
sand. Ride him twice around, sir. and
the money is yours.'
"The gawk stepped into the ring and
1 with a look of intense earnestness and
determination on his face sized up the
mule, who stood under the flaring gas
oline torch flapping his long ears and
blinking his eyes as much as to say:
•Just watch me roll this yap as fiat as a
pancake.'
The farmer stepped up to the mule
and quick as a flash he was on top of
him with his long legs around the
mole's neck, his cowhide boots tied in a
knot under his neck and the mule s tail
grasped firmly in both his hands. 'I he
mule looked surprised. He had never,
in all his experience in the ring, been
mounted in that way before. He look
ed more surprised when the man 011 his
back jerked his tail up and sank his
teeth into the flesh on his back. That
mule gatfe one wild snort and bray and
shot around the ring, not only twice but
half a dozen times, before he leaped the
ropes and fairly flew into the dressing
tent. Boston stood there leaning up
against the centre "pole, the pictnre of
amazement and despair, his long whip
trailing in the sawdust, his eye on the
opening in the canvas Haps through
which mnle and man had disappeared.
"In a moment the man came out grin
ning. The audience w as cheering and
applauding The word spread among
the circus men •
" "Boys, the thousand is gone,' and
they flocked rn. The old limn sank in
to a seat and moaned: 'Boys what
will I,<lo?" t. .
"Dctrf t give up the thousand,' suggest
, ed two or three.; But the audience was
already tflamoritig for the man to be
paid. We all knew too Well that if we
did not pay it the, crowd would clean us
out bag and baggage. The old mail
staggered into the ring, fumbling as he
walked for the wallet inside his vest.
As he (passed Boston, who' bad dropped
to a s£it on the ringside, he said woe
fully J
" 'Oh, Boston, Why didn t you offer
only a. hundred t
"He paid the gawk the $l,OOO, the
audicuue yelled its delight, the show
ended right there, arid after the" Inst
specata'tor was gone we built a fire in
the ring, pulled up trunks and boxes
around it and sat there till morning, be

"FIfiHTING TENTH"
HOMEWARD BOUND
tSpecial Correspondence.)
Hurrisburg. June 27. —All Penusylvu
nia is interested in the return of the
"Fighting Tenth" regiment of tlie Key
stone state, now enroute home from
the Philippines.
This gallant command, composed of
the sons of the best known families
in the' western counties of the state,
hat made a splendid record in the ter
rible battles in the distant islands of
the Pacific and the old commonwealth
will ring from one end of the other
with glad greetings to the brave boys
who have been fighting so heroically
for th# flag in the far eastern coun
try. Governor Stone has been co
operating with the special citizens
committee which is to arrange for the
reception of the regiment on its re
turn to this continent. The troops
will land at San Francisco, and an ef
fort is now being made to have the
regiment mustered out at Pittsburg,
instead of on the Pacific coast. Colo
nel Quay and Senator Penrose are do
ing their utmost to have the secretary
of war direct that the regiment be
kept together until they reach Pitts
burg, so that the people of thfir own
state may be able to give them a fit
ting welcome. Mayor Diefc!. of Pitts
burg, i 9 working energetically to have
that city make suitable preparations
for a grand popular demonstration
which will equal, if not surpass, any
thing of the kind gotten up to honor
the returning soldiers at the close of
the civil war. Philadelphia is also
talking of joining in this exp; •-ion of
patriotic admiration of the "Fighting
Tenth," and is ready to give the regi
ment a great reception if it shall be
possible to get the command to the
Quaker City.
TWO CONSPICUOUS FIGURES.
Two conspicuous figures in the
"Fighting Tenth" are Colonel Alex
ander Le I toy Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel James Elder Barnett. Each
is coining horrie with glorious laurels
won on the firing line and each is
bound to be hailed as a hero by the
people of Pennsylvania, who arc proud
of their patriotic services. Tresident
McKinloy has been asked to promote
Colonel Hawkins to Uie ranU of briga
dier general. A recommendation has
been made to the president by Gen
eral Mac Arthur, who was in command
of the forcej of v. iiioh Colonel Haw
kins' regiment f.-a a t>a.rt. Colonel
Hawkins is a hero of two ware, hav
ing. served with signal ability and
bravery in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania
cavalry in the- war of the rebellion,
and his present regiment lias been in
the dervice of the United States since
May «.f last year. It took a conspicu
ous part in the battle of Malata and in
the capture of Manila artd in later en
gagements with Aguinaldo's men.
Lieutenant Colonel Barnett has a
splendid record for bravery in action.
He has been strongly recommended tu
the war department for promotion for
his work in the Philippines. He is per
sonally very popular, and when the
boys of the "Fighting Tenth" reach
home he Is bound to lie one of the
heroes of the hour. He has a wide ac
quaintance in the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, with which he has bee.i
connected since 1884, serving suc
cessively as private, corporal, sergeant,
first lieutenant, captain and major be
fore jhe was nominated for the com
mand of the First battalion of the
"Fighting Tenth-" He lias always been
an active , Republican, is a native of
Indiana j-ounty, but now resides iu
Washington county, which is also the
home of <Jolonol Hawkins. lie is a
graduate of the Colombia Haw school,
and was admitted 10 the bar in 1890.
HONORS AWAIT THBM.
Th* home coming of Colonel Haw
kins jand Liciiteriant Colonel Barnett
naturally directs attention to the fact
that they are both mentioned for the
Republican nomination for state treas
urer. It I 3 not known whether either
of them would consent to allow the
use of his mime in - this connection.
Coloiiel .Hawkins has had a trying
time In the Philippines. He has lost
ovec 75 pounds, and is not in the best
phyeital condition. In view of the fact
that tie was elected to the last state
senatf while out with his regiment,
but never qualified, he may prefer
toacdrpt that position. He would cer
tainly; have a whirlwind campaign
Rhoulfl he be placed upon the Republi
can ticket. Lieutenant Colonel Bar
nett Would also make a marvelously
strong candidate, and it is generally
conceded that the Republican organiza
tion be fortunate if either Haw
kins or Uarnett shall accept a nomina
tion fjbr state treasurer.
Chairman John P. Eikin, of the Re
publican slate committee, has issued
the call for the Republican state con
vention. fixing Thursday. Aug. 24. as
the tipie. the Opera House at Har
riabur<g as the place for the gathering
of thd delegates to came the Republi
can ticket. The Philippine he
roes bught to bo home before that
tlnje, if there shall not be unexpected
delays in tho passage.
If neither Hawkins nor Barnett shall
lare to make the canvass there is an
otherjsoldier. Brigadier General John
W, Sfhall, of Norristowm who lifts
been proposed for state treasurer, and
he has already gotten the Montgomery
county delegation instructed for him.
He, tpo, has a good war record, ami
has ai host of friends in the National
Guant with which iiw has been Iden
tified prominently for a number of
years] '

CORN CULTURE.
Thr Modern l.lrn In to Kill W**d«
ami Keep the Soli Well Stirred.
The culture of ci in in a general senso
consists of doing two things -killing
weed< nnd :-tirTing the soil. Weeds are
injurious because they consume the
plant f> od aud to that extt nt they rob
crops They also take large quantities
of water from the s it. the soil
aids in the formation of plant food,
aerates or ventilate tiie soil, influences
soil temperature, improves tilth, and
in a measure controls the supply of
moisture. With these two lpading
thoughts in mind we will let them gov
ern us throughout the corn growing
season, says a writer in The New Eng
land Homestead, in preface to more
minute directions in which the follow
ing items occur
After the soil is well plowed thorough
pulverization is necessary. The disk
harrow, the spring tooth and smoothing
harrow, and a drag, or roller, make a
good combination for this work. A few
days after planting, just before the corn
plants begin to come through, go over
the field with a harrow. This helps
with the further pulverization rf the
soil and kills all the little weeds.
In a week, when the corn is two
inches above the ground, go over the
field a second time with the harrow
This leaves the soil fine and mellow,
the field clean and active, and the corn
plants not hurt a particle. Begin culti
vation at this stage for an additional
reason—viz, stirring the soil to control
the moisture supply. Water comes up
in the soil just as oil in a lamp wick. It
has capillary flow —that is, little tubes
are found in the soil and water rises
from soil particle to soil particle, and
when it gets up to the top of the ground
it vaporizes. In slirring the soil we
simply break off the top of these tubes,
and the fine dirt acts as a mulch, there
by keeping this water in the soil.
Abont two inches, all things consid
ered, is the best depth for cultivation.
Cultivating in clods or to an unnsnal
depth destroys the roots and injures the
plant. Neither does it furnish an effect
ive mnlcl).
Summing Tip. the following should be
borne in wind Begin the cultivation
of the corn before planting time, har
row the ground at least twice after
planting, cultivate after every rain to
break the ernst—cultivation is needed
as roach to coii)*ervo moisture as to kill
the w.'eds— keep cnltivatore a way from
the corn roots, never plant corn in
clods, have the cultivator leave the soil
level and evert, but not in ridges.

of corn
