The farmers Lave long been the
most dissatisfied of all the population
of the United States.
The number employed in agricul
ture in Spain is but 4,033,491, of
whom over 800,000 are women.
A society has been formed in Shang
hai to counteract the crime of stealing
women to be sold into worse than
slavery, which is alarmingly common,
and on the increase in somo parts of
China.
Colonel Wright, superintendent of
the census.tuiuka tbo statistics of pop
ulatioa given by the lust census were
too large ; and Lo estimates the total
population of the United States in
1900 as but C7.000.000, whereas we
have been calling our present popula
tion "in roil ml numbers" as 70,000,
000. Can wo pluce no more depend
ence npon the returns of our census
marshals than thin?

India is a very uncomfortable coun
try. This year is worse than com
mon. Drought makes every road a
river of dust ; other rivers are dried
up. Grain i poor, ns well as scareo,
nnd garden products are sapless. If
the traveler eats meat or fruit, be it
threatened with cholera ; if grain oi
vegetables, ho is reminded that the
bubonic pest (which is tuo fatal "lit
tle sickness" of liotubay) chiefly af
fects vegotariaus. Fish is forbidden
by taste as well as by prudence. Milk
must be rigorously eschewed, aud
butter is not less baneful Bread and
tea are both poor in India, and wator
is always, dangerous.
The Cologne Vollts XJitlTag says it
has proof that Emperor William, after
the reoout political revelations, wrote
a personal letter to Prince Bismarck,
appealing to him to be patriotio and
to cease his talking of Germany's past
policy; The Prince, in a published
interview, is quoted as Buying: "I
feel tired but not ilL My complaint
is weariness of life. I no longer have
an object iu life, aud hnvo no official
duties and nothing to eee as a spectator
which givi'B rae pleasure. The longer
I live, the longer this will be tuo case.
I feel lonely, have lout my wife, nml
my Hons are occupied with their own
business. Husbandry and forestry
have lost interest for me with advanc
ing years. I seldom visit the woods
nnd fields, aud do not desire to see
them now that I do not ride aud do
not shoot. Politics, too, are begin

A New Hampshire woman has ac
complished the feat somewhat diffi
cult, nowadays of doing somothing
which no woman, so far us known, has
ever done before This daring inno
vator, eaya the New York Times, is
Mrs. Marilla Marks Kicker, whose
home, when she is not traveling iu
Europe, living iu Culifornia, or prac
ticing law before the Supreme Court
.at Washington, is in Dover, and the
.basis of the Keoond claim to originality
which her friends make for her is the
fact that she has e ntered a serious ap
plication for the position of United
States Minister to the United States
of Colombia. Nobody goes quite so
far as to say that she will probably got
the place, but it is asserted that sho
has the support of both the New
Hampshire senators, and that her can
didacy will be warmly advocated by
woman suffrage clubs and similar or
ganizatious all over the country. Mrs.
Rieker was born at Durham in 1840.
She waa married in 18G3, and has been
a widow for twenty-seveu years. She
studied law in the offices of Albert G.
Riddle and Arthur B. Williams. In
1890, after a hard fight, she won ad
- mission to the' Now Hampshire bar.
Mrs. Hicke'r has long been prominent
ly identified with the woman suffrage
movement,' and si tie 1870 has often
'. taken inoHt amp' for trie candidates of
the Republican party.'

way, located on
the boundary be
tween two coun
ties, for which
reason it is familiarly known to the
adjacent residents as tbe "County Line
Road." Ia former days, before the
keen bladed ax and sharp toothed saw
of the sturdy settler had acoomplishod
soon a wonderful transformation in
the appearance of the landsespe, both
sides of the road were lined for a
number of miles by a denue, heavy
growth of forest and nndorbrnsh.
In consequence of this fact and the
soarcity of human habitations, the
farmorswho traveled over this route
to the city murkets located at its ter
mination, fouud an exceedingly lone
some, cheerless ride boforo them. But
then, tho highly remunerative prices
paid for the results of their toil, as
was evidenced by their well filled
purses on their return, offered ade
quate inducements to thorn to brnve
the dangers and discomforts of the
solitary journey.
The dangers to which wo refer were
occasioned by a band of outlaws who
bad established thoir headquarters in
this extensive belt of timber.
Startling were the stories circulated
concerning the bold deeds of this ruf
fian gang ; many were the farmers that
could testify from bitter experience
to the veracity of these stories ; and
numerous were the attempts made to
apprehend and bring the criminals to
justice. But all to no purpose. The
"County Line Road" continued to
possess a reputation so unsavory that
it struok terror into the hearts of those
who were obliged to travel its lonely
windings.
Robert Emmet was only eighteen
years of age when his father died snd
left him in charge of their cowly set
tled, partially eleared farm with the
responsibility resting on bis inexperi
enced young shoulders of earing and
providing for his widowed mother and
his two small brothors.
Robert was a healthy, active youth,
with a clear brain and strong, well-do
veloped muscles. He fully realized
the gravity of his position and cheer
fully and bravely went to work. By
dint of earnest, tireless efforts, fine
crops of grain and vegetables were
grown and harvested ; so that, whon
in the waning life of autumn there
came whisperings of the arrival of
blustering winter, the Emmet family,
found themselves plentifully provided
with food and an ample surplus of
farm produee which, whet) sold, would
bring in sufficient revenue to meot all
the expenses inourred in the manage
ment of their farm and household.
But in order that this happy result
might be brought about, it was, of
conrso, uecossary that Robert should
convey to the city markets the prod
ucts of his summer's labor over the
ill-famed "County Line Road."
It was not a pleasant prospeot that
confronted him. Just the week pre

similar expedition and returned, tell

lieved of his watob and all his money.
A couple of days following this af
fair a well organized posse of men,
nnder leadorship'of the sheriff, started
out, determined, npon capturing the
highwaymen. ' Scouring the wood for
nearly a week, they were on the point
of giving tip, when a rude log cabin
was discovered in" a deep ravine.
Here they oame upon three members
of the gang, who, being taken by sur
prise, surrendered after a slight resis
tance. These welcome 'tidings were joyfully
received by everybody, but no one
felt more jubilant over them thau did
the hero of this narrative, Robert Em
met. He now believed he would be able
to carry bia produce to market, and
return thorofrom in safety. Nor was
he mistaken, for a month passed
rapidly by, during which time he
made several successful trips; and, as
a natural result, the carefully boarded
earnings, tucked snugly away in the
old stocking in the tin box under tbe
loose board in tho corner of the
kitchen floor, had beoome enlarged to
such an -extent as to burst from tho
confinement of their wooly prison.
The day arrived at last when Robert
was "to make his last visit to tho city.
Thankful, indeed, for his past good
fortune and happy in the thought of
the near-by termination of his labor,
be bade the dear ones at homo fare
well, and gaily mounted to his place
on the load.
Justly proud was he of the team of
beantiful pranoing colts whiob, heavy
as proved their burden, pulled so
strongly on the bridle reins in the en
deavor to cover the ground at a faster
gait, that it had made their youthful
master's arms ache to hold them down
to a steady paoe.
. Robert was far oh his way when day
light's rosy hues began to tinge the
eastern horizon. The weather was
sharp and frosty, and the roads like
pavement, so hard were they frozen,
and the city was safely roaohed early
in the afternoon.
Before nightfall ho had succeeded
in disposing of tbe major portion of
his load.and what remained was parted
with the following morning.
Quite a handsome sum was gained
from tho sale. The coin he carried in
a leathern pouoh in . his breeohes
pooket, while the bills were carefully
rolled up in a bunoh and stowed away
in an inside pooket of his vest. -'
When bis team had finished their
feed of grain he started out on the
homeward journey. His heart was as
light as the fleooy clouds that floated
lazily about on the' western margin of
the sky, and be hummed a lively tune
as the wagon rattled along over the
smooth road. . '
. It was still early in the day and few
conveyances were, abroad and . these
were.headed toward the city. For the
first ten of the thirty-four' miles farm
housos were humorous, but after that
the country grew gradually wilder,
with' settlers' homes less in,, number
and located farther apart. : '
Arriving within a mile of the forest,
Robert poroeivod a tall figure rise
snddenly from the diton at the road
side and walk ahead with slow, halting
movements. As he drew nearer he
could too ft woman. . She wu attired
is ft dress of ooarte, dark materia! and
ft thick woolen shawl bang in lcose
folds around her shoulders. Bex head
gear consisted of a small fait hat, over
which was drawn ftoloaa. brown veu
that completely concealed her .fea
tures. Her hands were enveloped ia
mittens and in one of them she aarried
a little wioker basket, whose contents
were hidden from view by a strip of
paper tacked about it
As. liobert drove an the woman
paused and turned around. She didn't
raise her veil when she spoke; and her
voice was low and hoarse. .
"Would yon give an old woman a
ride?" she asked, and then went off
into a paroxysm of coughing.
- "Certainly, ma'am 1" said Robert,
cheerfully, at the same time bringing
his team to a stop.
"What a terrible cold the poor
thing's got," was his mental comment,
as he looked down pityingly.
When the fit of coughing had
subsided she clambered slowly into
the wagon and took a place beside tho
young teamster, who drew up the
heavy robe and kindly assisted in
arranging and tacking it around his
passenger.
"Quite chilly," he remarked, set
tling himself again on his seat
But his oompanion made no reply,
and he conoluded that she did not de
sire to enter into conversation. So
they drove along in a silence broken
only by the noise of the vehiole and
the clatter of tho horses' hoofs on tho
frozon road-bed.
Bat it Robert's tongue was silent,
bis thinking powers were by no means
dormant, and over him there crept a
vague, uncertain feeling that every
thing was not just as it should be.
Now and then be stole a glance at the
woman, who eat as motionless as a
marble image.
During one' of these glances the
stiff breeze that was blowing caught a
corner of the veil and flung it back,
exposing for an instant a stubby
growth of blssk ohin whiskers !
? Immediately the stranger pulled
, down the nnruly covering and in
dulged in another dry, racking cough.
"A woman with a beard I" thought
; Robart in dismay, and then in a flash
he realized that seated beside him was
a man in disguise, a man belonging to
u gang of highwaymen.
It was a startling discovery, but
evidently his unwelcome passenger
was totally unaware that he had
msdeit
What should he do? He must de
cide quickly, for soon the forest would
be reached and in its gloomy icazes
no doubt other highwaymen were sta
tioned at the spot where it was intend
ed he should be robbed of his hard
earned money. Suddenly he gave a'
quick little jerk of his head whiob
tilted his hat over on his ear, and the
wind catching it, off it west.
"Whoa I Prjno 1 Whoa, Topsy I" he
cried ; "Whoa', I say I I've lost my hat
"I'll hold the horses till yon get it,"
said his companion, checking with ap
parent effort anothor attack of cough
ing. "Ob, no, ma'am ! I oonldn't think
of it. They're a pair of colts and very
difficult to manage unless you under
stand them. I'll hold them and you
may do me the kindness to get my
hat."
The counterfeit woman appeared
undecided a minute, then depositing
the basket iu the bottom of the wagon,
dropped down over tho wheel to the
ground and hobbled off in tbe direc
tion of the ditch.
Robert watched nntil tho hat had
been pickod up, and then spoko sharply
to the horses, at tbe same time strik
ing them lightly ovor their backs with
the reins.
The noble animals sprang forward
with a bound and struok into a steady
run. A torrent of oaths falling on his
ears above tho racket of tho wagon,
the young driver glanced over his
shoulder and caw that his late com
panion had torn off the veil and was
running rapidly after him. But it
was not long until there was a long
distance between them.
"Weil done, my good horses," he
said, approvingly. "You deserve a
double quantity of oats to-night and
if I live to get home, you shall have
it. Ah I here's that strange little
basket, I must see what's in it."
Picking it up he cautiously removed
the paper and two well-charged, large
caliber revolvers were revealed to bis
gaze.
The wood was entered with consid
erable apprehension, still he felt safer
than if he had been destitute of means
to defend himself. But nothing of a
suspicious nature was further encoun
tered and muoh to his relief the
journey was conoluded in safety.

Most of the soap factories in Qreooe
whiob. number thirty-seven are to

Boll Fijrhtimr la Spain .
The brutality of Spanish civilization
ia strikingly illustrated ia what is
known as, the bail fight Daring the
Jjeriod botweu April asu CctoVwr ol
est year there were bo less thac HEW
balls slaughtered in Spam at a valua
tion of $300,000.
In the) brutal contests of the Spanish
prize ring 7000 horses daring the same
interval of time were either killed or
maimed, 'while several persons for
feited their lives upon the altar of this
cruel sport
These boll fights are not only patron
ized by the Spaniards, who attend
them in great multitudes, bat the Gov
ernment itself lends evory aid and en
couragement to them which it . can
possibly render. The king of the
toreadores, as the hero of the bull
fight in Spain is called, is honored by
the Spaniards almost to the point of
worship, and greater adulation is
heaped npon him than the Empire is
wont to bestow upon its leaders. Dur
ing the recent season the king of the
toreadores earned $61,200, or ten
times the salary of the Prime Minister,
while the earnings of other fighters
ranged from $5000 to $30,000. No
other entertainment in Spain nets
such handsome results or appeals so
foroibly to Spanish pride as the bull
fight.
In the light of this national trait it
is no wonder that the Philippines are
in revolt and that Cuba, in her eager
ness for a better and purer civiliza
tion, the one which has paralyzed her
growth for so many years, has at
length thrown off the yoke of Spanish
despotism, Atlanta Constitution.
Branded Willi Ice.
At Harvard v University somo years
ago a great row was made over the dis
covery that in one of the societies it
was a custom to brand some of the new
members with a hot iron, by way "of
initiation. The Chicago University
students have modified this Spartan
treatment by using ice instead of the
hot iron. Seven neophytes, candidates
for Sneil Hall, were blindfolded aud
put through a courso of good natured
horse play peculiar to college boys.
Then one of them, Cleveland by name,
was called forward for the branding
process.
Cleveland had been a candidate for
the '90 eleven, and was anxious to
irear a "O" on his football sweater.
He was now told that his desire for
athletic fame was to be gratified ; that
is, he was to have tho "O" branded on
bis bare chest. The young athlete
was stripped, his hands and feet wore
tied, and then a hot mustard plaster
was applied to his breast, so that he
might become "aocustcined to the
beat" Meanwhile he could hear a
hot iron sizzling close at band. When
the young man was just in the right
condition of terror the branding was
begun. His tormentors, taking a piece
of ioo, insoribed on his bare breast a
large frigid "O," while the poor fel
low, with teeth set, writhed in agony.
Six other boys were subjeoted to the
same imaginary torture, and they all
laid that the sensation was painful'
snough to have been the real thing.

It has recently been discovered that
iodine exists in combination in the

proof of the occurrence of iodine in
