A Piotty Strong Yarn. A group of politicians were discussing tho platfwim that should t?e adopted I?y tho convention whon Senator Depew of New York, turned to Governor Carter of Hawaii. "Governor, we haven't heard frotn you on this subject. What are your views ?" queried Senator Depew. "1 haven't any," replied tho governor of Huwaii. "What ! A good Republican and no views on tho olatform ? Why, what do you expect your constituents to say?" "Don't make any difference to them. We'll hare a platform of our own. You know, you people were fighting on free silver four years ago. Know what tho prin ciple plank in our opponent's platform was?" "What ?" all queried "Cremation. Tho Democrats got an idea that they could win on ttiat platform. You know tho pooplo of Hawaii have a horror of cremation. Well, our opponents made tho cry that the Republicans were in favor of cremation. The fight was a warm ono. Tbo tariff was forgotten anil freo silver was unheard of. It was cremation, cremation. Arc you in favor of cremation ?" "And tho result ?" "They won. And then thero was more fun. The opposition got together and framed an anticremation bill. Tho delegates wrangled. The Republicans objected. Finally one old delegate arose. But there is no penalty, he said. 'How can you oxpect a law to bo obeyed that has no penalty attached ?' Of course, it was unanswerable. The opposition hummed and hawed. Finally another delegate arose and left the o halls of congress, lie returned half an hour later. "Gentlemen, I wish to submit an amendment to the law prohibiting cremation,' ho said. 4 "What is it?" came from the presiding officer. 4 "1 wish to confine any man who is croiiated in some prison for not less than six months. "Well, the amendment carried. That is why I am not particularly interested in the platform which will bo adopted in Chicngo. 1 Vnow that wo will have another in Hawaii." ? Chicago Inter* Ocean.

It is time for the question to be asked "Shall 1 keep on plowing during dry weathor?" The answer is yes, every week or ten days with a light, shallow running cultivator, unless the top soil becomes as light and "mellow as an ash bank." and vonr mitnn J vwt?x/u ?w as tall as two thirds the width of the rows. But I do not moan that threo or even two furrows to the row ho run every "week or ten days." Ono to tho row with a good cultivator shod with 12 to 15-inch sweeps, is enough. It will not cost moro than 20 conts an aero to go over it once to tho row, and I am quito sure it will benefit tho cotton a great deal moro than 20 cents. Subscnno to Tho Ledge.. Roseoe Conkliny's Rig Fee. 1* is said tlint oito day when Roscoo Oonkling was beginning to attain somo measure of success ho dropped into the otlice of Charles O'Connor of New York, then one of I lie leaders of the bar. "What's tbo trouble?" asked the latter, as Coukling excitedly paced tho tloor. "I've just hoon subjected to tho worst insult 1 have ever received. This is the tirst time a client has ever objected to my fee. "You know I defended Gibbons for arson, and put in some tremendous work for him. Ho was convicted at the trial, but we couldn't help it, and 1 took tho case to the superior court and wo lost there, and then on to tho su preme court and mat affirmed the conviction, and ho has been given ten years. Now, my fee only amounted to $8,000, and the scoundrel actually has the audaci ty to grumble about it, saying its too high. What do you think of that for impudence?" "AVell," said O'Connor, slow ly, 4 'of course, you did a lot of work and $3,000 is not a big fee; but, to bo frank with you Mr. Conkling, my opinion, founded on mature consideration, is that ho might have been convicted for less money."?Success.
