A Poor Crop.
It was on a lonely road in the
Tennessee mountains. A weary
rider was slowly making his way up
the steep mountain side, pausing
now and then to rise in his stirrups
and look about in search of some
> sign of civilization. Suddenly a
turn of the road brought him face
tp face with a lank, sallow-faced
* Iinnn tho tnn
IDOUlllitluvci, acaicu ui<uu vuv v?r
rail of the snake fence which hounded
a poor little farm which had
found lodgment on the mountain'
slue.
The rider paused. "Can you tell
me how far it is to Big Stone Gap?"
he inquired.
The mountaineer's lips moved in
answer, but no sound reached the
rider's ears. He moved over nearer
to the fence and repeated the question.
This time he could barely distinguish
a whispered word or two in
the farmer's answer.
"What's the matter with you?"
he inquired, dismounting and walking
over to the fence where the old
t" man sat, "Can't you talk?"
The old man looked pityingly at
his questioner for a moment, and
then, climbing down from his seat
on the rail, he walked up to. the
traveler, and putting his grizzled
face close to his. ear, whispered
hoarsely:
"Yis, I kin talk, but the fact is,
stranger, land is so poor in these
parts that I kain't even raise my
voice."?Tit-Bits.
Ten thousand dollars has been appropriated
by congress to enable the
secretary of agriculture to conduct
experiments to determine the practicability
of making paper out of cotton
stalks.

TILLMAN IN HIS SEAT.
Greeted His Fellow Senators When
the Body Convened.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 14.?
Senator Tillman reached Washington
early this morning and was in
his seat when the Senate was called
to order to-day. He received many
congratulations from admiring
friends upon his entire recovery and
good wishes upon his safe return.
The Senator says he will take
things easy for a while and will not
exert himself. He will follow closely
the advice of Dr. Babcock and
does not look for a return of his
trouble of last spring. Mrs. Tillman
and othgr members of his family
will not come to Washington until
after the Christmas recess.
Popular Vote of National Election.
New York, Dec. 15.?The total
popular vote of the various presidential
candidates at the last national
election was made known to-day in
an official form by the filing of the
last of the official vote, that of
Michigan. The total shows the following
votes cast:
Taft (Republican) 7,637,676
Bryan (Democrat) 6,393,182
Debs (Socialist) 447,651
Chafin (Prohibitionist).... 241,252
Hisgen (Independence)? 83,186
- ? ? v a a r\ n ?
Watson (Fopuiistj <53,5*1
Gilhaus (Socialist Labor) 15,421
Total for all candidate.. 14,852,239
This grand total exceeds by 1,341,531
the total number of votes
cast in the presidential election of
1904, when the grand total was 13,510,708.
Compared with that election the
candidates of the Republican, Democratic,
and Socialist parties increased
their vote this year. The reverse is
true of the. candidates of the Prohibition,
Populist, and Socialist Labor
parties. The Independence party did
not figure in the presidential election
of four years ago.
The biggest difference in a party is
shown in an increase for Bryan of
1,315,211 over the total vote cast in
1904 for Alton B. Parker, the Demo'cratic
candidate. Taft received 14,190
votes more than were polled for
President Roosevelt in 1904, and
Debs ran 45,368 ahead of his predecessor
on the Socialist ticket.
The heaviest loss is shown by the
Populists, who, with the same candidate,
registered 83,312 less this
year than in 1904, when their total
was 117,183. The prohibitionist candidate,
Chafin, ran 17,284 votes behind
the 1904 mark of his party, and
Gilhaus, the Socialist Labor candidate,
received only about 50 per
cent, of the vote given to Corrigan,
which was 31,249, in the previous
presidential race.
The world is coming to' an end
and that within a short time, according
to the prediction of a selfappointed
prophet. It may be false,
but it won't hurt you to be ready
for the change if it does not come.

JOHN CUFFEY SURRENDERS.
Negro Killed Wife to Keep White 4
Man from Taking Her Away. i
Greenville, Dec. 14.?Declaring (
that he had killed his wife and had |
stayed all night with the corpse, J
'John Cuffey, a negro, at daybreak (
Sunday morning, came in from j
Niceltown and surrendered to the J
authorities. (
When Cuffey was questioned by t
the officers as to the motive for his J
deed he declared: "The woman was (
my wife and I killed her to keep Jess 4
Fuller from taking her away from ;
me." (
Further than this Cuffey would1
not talk, other than to say when he
killed the woman he had intended to
kiH Fuller also, but that he had slipped
away from him. The woman,
who has figured largely in police
court records, is known as Cootie
Hill, though Cuffey affirms he is
married to her and lived happily
with her till Fuller, who is a white
man, came in between them.

"The finest political speech I ever
heard," said a Pittsburg man, "was
made by a German farmer up in
Berks county, Pa.
"There was a meeting in a country
school house and after the
speeches a leading German was called
on for a few remarks. He said:
'Fellow citizens: We haf hert d'
chin music, yes! . Und d' time has
now come ven ve must all git togedder
and undo that vich ve haf
not dit. All git togedder und roll
up such a Democratig majority in
Berks coundy that it vill roll and
roll und roll undil it rolls all ofer
Berks coundy, all ofer d' state of
Pennsylvania, all ofer d' United
States, vill roll across d' ocean und 1
vill roll up to Queen Victoria, vere
