tEADIN THE NEWS.”
That Plain Old “Fomalo Lady”
from Down on Panther Greek.
Our Aunt Nancy Newton'* Talkln
Machinery In tool Runnln Order—
A “Treni«indlus llig Scandalatlon”
—“Seein Yhingg at Night."
Hit is so monstrous seldom like ami
rare in this present day and penerntioil
of American
people that you
can meet up
with one of
these plain old
flint-and-steel
women—with a
head ns lon£ ns
a flour barrel
and as level as
a squash —“l r >
hand high, and
heavy as buck
shot”— till it rpley looks to me
like everybody and everything on
the place, even to the eats and
the dogs, was glad when Aunt
Jfancy Newton come up from Panther
Creek and showed down at the appoint
ed time one day last week. I do believe
in my soul that Aunt Nancy—whilst
rbe calls herself nothin more and
nothin less than a “everyday, she wom
an”—would fight her weight in wild
cats in case of a pushency. And yet
she has got the softest and most hondi-
est way of any woman I have ever saw
to make j - ou laugh and forget—to let
the sunshine in apd shut the shadow*
out and wipe the tears away.
There Will Re a Funeral Then,
phe is so bright, and so newsy, and
so fresh; and when she turn* her
mouth loose In a runnln conversation
she eairspit out more good sense to the
square minit than three or four coni’
nion women. With only two eyes and
two ears, it is one of the most strangest
things in this green old world to me
how Aunt Nancy can keep the general
run of things for miles and miles
prouml, and pick up so much news
"comin and a-goin,” as she is so wont
to say.
Hut that dear, delightful old soul
don’t give out no news on her own hook,
only that which she has wen with her
own eyes. It mought lie that she will
sometimes deal in secont-hand news,
but in that ease she takes particular
pains to tell you where she got the
goods, so you can pay your money and
take your choice, *
“The lord knows I do raley love to
talk. Unfits,” says Aunt Nancy to me
that night when we went out on the
back porch to take a social family
smoke. “And jest as long as I can
keep my talkin machinery in good
runnin order yon are more than prob
able to bear from me oncst in awhile.
If it ever comes to pass that you
mought hear the news that Nancy
Newton has quit talkin, you better sad
dle your horse or hitch up your mules
and come on down to the Panther
Creek settlement. The funeral will
come ofT at the usual hour, with your
Aunt Nancy r'd'm feet foremost at the
head of the procession.
“I know you have lived a good long
whet and learnt a Mholc pnssle in your
day, Rufus, hut If you don’t know it
already, by the time you have lived as
long and looked upon ns many nights
and scenes as your Aunt Nancy, you
will find out that it don’t pay to talk
outside of the family touehin the things
that belong to the family. You can
make a great h'g mens out of little
more than nothin if you only tell the
news and heat it hot and keep it goiu
and growin. It mought be a little
fresli cut, or it mought lie a rale had
old sore, but many a time it would heal
over and the jieople in general would
forget it If you didn’t keep on pickln
at It and foolin with it.
Two Women In the Case.
"Notv, that puts me in mind of the
'roarin big coiifiiKionnient which come
jo pass down in the old settlement last
Week," Aunt Nancy went on, torectly,
"Jiig meet in was goln on over at old
Klum church. There was two or three
new preachers on hand, and with two
•erifionts every day—one in the mornin
and ono at first candlelight. They had
a great outpnurln and u blessed good
meet in.
“Over there on the other side of the
creek- u mile and a half, or m n vbe a
leetle better from the church—Joe Hlev-
iu* and Lit (iurviu live on joinin farms.
Their families are thick and neighborly
as j-ou please, and they have got along
together smooth and pleasant like
white people ought to do. Hut one
night in durin of the meetin at old Khuu
Mines Hlevins she was rut her poorly to
be out and one of the (Jnrvln children
was sick abed of a slow fever. Now,
Lit Gnrviq is u shoutin Methodist and
never did blow in much time over at old
Rlam, where they stick to all over bap
tism as the right'and proper way. Any
how, Joe Hlevins was goin to church
that night, and it would seem like Mines
Garvin sin? was likewise also most crazy
to turn out and hear the ‘gospel dis
pensed with* by the new preachers.
"So It suited all around for MinesGar-
vin to go to church that night with Joe
Hlevins, and she went with him. So
far all right. I couldn't see nothin
wrong about lhat. I wouldn’t say for
certain how much religion they have
got, but, at any rntes7 Joe Hlevins and
Mises Garvin have Isith got their nnntra
qii the church hooks over at old Klara.
Consequentially it wa* plum natural for
both of them to want to turn out to
merlin, and if it come handy and con
venient. for them to go together, that
was all right. If It suited them, and
suited Lit Garvin and suited Mises IRev-
ins, to he certainly it ought to of suited
other people.
“Hut it would seem like it didn’t suit
everybody. It didn't suit Mises Huggins,
the wife of Nick Huggins. Khe was
owerfill bad pestered about It. To
hear her tell the news, It took Joe
Hlevins and Lit Garvin’s wife slch a
terrific long time to walk from home to
the church and vicery versiiry. She
bad come over the same road, and she
would give her testimony on a stack of
Ribles ns big ns the meetin house that
it took them two mortal hours to walk
n mile and a half. She told the news
free and promiscus to the sisters, and
naturally of course it then leaked out
amongst the men folks. Hy the next
jay it broke out in the general crowd
and was sprendin like a prairie fire on
} windy day in March.
“Now, in the name of free grace and
common sense, what was the use of
that? It was a pure family question,
Rufus, and if Lit was willin, and Mises
Hlevins was willin, I was more than
willin. Hut Mises Huggins she lowed it
took ’em sieh a terrific 1—o—n—g time
to go and come from church. Hut what
of that? The weather hit was meltin
hot, and they didn’t have to burn the
wind and make a race track out of the
big road.
"When meelin turned out the next
day Mises Garvin she had heard the
news and went pizen mad. She got
right out in the midst of the crowd, she
did, and belt up Mises Huggins and
pitched in and, naturally het the air
sizzlin hot all around. She would give
Mises Huggins to understand that she
was a lady, and s) wanted everybody
to know for certn:,i—oncst and forever
—that she was a Indy, herself.
"And if j-our Aunt Nancy ain’t all
sorts of a fool, Rufus, right along there
is where Mises Garvin dropped the jug
and spilt her molasses. If a lady is a
Indy I never could see no reason for her
to climb up on a high fence and tell
everybody the news. . <4 • •
"But there they had It—Mises Gar
vin and Mises Huggins—up and down
and over and under—till they brung on
a pluperfect big scandalatlon in the
B’ttlement, and all because they didn’t
have no better sense than to turn their
tongues loose In regards to things
which the general public didn’t have a
bless-d thing to do with.
"Finally at last, Rufus, you can take
r»ut your little notebook and set you
down this: For t 1 e general run of
family trials and tr< ublesond scandal-
ct'ons fresh air and sunshine is mighty
sorry medicine, whil t graveyard silence
Is a dead-shot ciir. ninety-nine times
In the hundred.
Hecln Thli '9 at Night.
"In my heart urn general feclins I uni
still as fresh and sprightly as a right
young girl, Rufus, but here lately £
got into a strange and pecurious way
of secin things at night,” the old lady
went on ns she knocked the ashetf out
af her pipe and changed the subject
all of a suddent like. "You never
would of thought of it, and I don’t
reckon anybody else could make you
lirJieve it, but 1 woke up one night last
week and found a strange man in the
house.
“Andrew Jim he had went off that
night to some sort of political rnllifica-
tion and left me mid the children there
at home to sink or surrender us best
we could. Way long in the night I
woke up and ble«« the heavens there
was a man stnndin right there by the
dinin room door. The general shape
was ruther dim at first, but the longer
I looked the plainer I could see the
man. I could see the hat on his head,
nud for a little more I do believe I would
of saw a gun in his band; On the first
flush 1 thought it mought be Andrew
Jim prnnkin around try in to make me
act a fool. Hut I didn’t move. I could
feel the cold chills ehasin up and down
my back, and I was sweatin great drops
of perspiration as big as horse apples.
The silence was so tremendius thick
and heavy till bless gracious it seems
to me like you mought slice it up with
your pocketknife. I couldn’t stand it
no longer. Somethin had to come.
"In the main time I had cut .a new
bresh broom that even in, and I remem-
liered me now that I had put the
hatchet under the bed. So I went down
soft, and easy as I could after my
hatchet, and then opened up on the
man.
" ‘Who’s that?' says 1, in a strong and
manly voice, tryin’ to make out like An
drew Jim was at home. Hut the man iie
didn’t move.
" ‘Who’s that, I say?’ I went ju, talk
in loud and mad and angry as 1 could.
Hut the man he didn’t move.
“ ‘You are playin with death and dig-
gin you own grave now,” says I, as I
riz from the bed, and waved the hatchet
in the air. Hut the man he didn't move.
“‘Funerals are all tlie go in this set
tlement now and you will soon be in the
fashion,’ says I, ns I started across the
floor with my hatchet drawn hack. Hut
the iiinii he didn’t move. Anil by this
time I was stnndin in three feet of him.
“ ‘If you don’t talk out I will split you
wide ojien!” says I, and let drive with
the hatchet ns hard ns the Lord would
let me.
“Hut I didn’t kill the man, Rufus. So
for ns I know the hatchet didn’t hit
In three miles of a ninn. There want
no man there. There want n man on
the place, in the house, or anywhere*
around there except in my mind. Un-
bek now mice to me Andrew Jim hud
hung Ids Sunday clothes on a peg there
by the dinin room door, and then hung
hia hat on a nail right over the clothes.
And out of them harmless old duds-1
had made me a man and then got
akeered of him.
“I didn't mean to give out the facta
away from home, Rufus, hut in the gen
eral hurry mid darkness and confusion-
ment that night I had took the hatchet
and cut a hole in Andrew Jim's Sunday
coat us big ns your hand, and he is now
sprendin of the news fur and wide.
Somethin marvelous has come over
the general spirit ofthings when Nancy
Newton can look at a few old clothes
till they take the shape of a man, and
then get sheered of him. Old age must
be creepin up, Rufus. Leastwise I don’t'
like this strange and pecurious way of
seein things at night."
Hut old age or what not Aunt Nancy
Newton ain’t gone nowhere*. And I
would love to hear her tell the news and
give in her opinions for a hundred year*
me.
UUFUtt SANUJ&U.
FRIENDSHIP.
8am Jones Speaks of the Value of
a True Friend.
S*7B We Should Make Friend* of
Everybody at the Expense
Of Everythin* Except
Principle.
Amid the rush and roar, push and
drive for dollars and cents, amid che
turmoil of politics and the crashing of
commercial interests there is some
thing better and higher than all these.
True friends and good neighbors are
more precious than rubies and “more
to be desired than gold, yea, than much
fine gold; sweeter also than the honey
with the honeycomb,’' and in the get
ting of them there is great reward. A
millionaire without friends is poor in
deed. A president or king without his
friends is a slave to the condition of
things. A politician without his friends
will “hit the grit” sooner or later.
I fear sometimes amid the discord of
politics and the greed for gain we have
lost sight of the fact that a man’s wealth
consist.! in noble friends and good neigh
bors. Money has very little in it to
bring happiness. Political power brings
only cares, temptations and trials.
Greed in itself is disintegrating and vis
its upon men a thousand slings and ar
rows. No man is so poor as he who has
lived to make all men his enemies and
rob himself of true friends. No man
is so rich as the man who is embalmed
in the hearts of a grateful community.
We get political power, social pre-
ferrtient and dollars and cents ns the re
sult of selfish aims and selfish ends by
doing for ourselves. We make true
happiness by doing for others. Peter
the Great, Charlemagne and Napoleon
tried to conquer the world with swords,
but each of them died a conquered
wretch himself at last, Jesus Christ
live 1 for others, served others, did for
others and died for others, and there
are millions of men to-day who would-
die for Christ, He conquered by serv
ice, by sacrifice, by benevolence.
Not long ago I attended Will With-
am’s large Sunday school class in At
lanta, Ga. He gave to each of us a card
at the conclusion of the lesson with the
following inscription thereon:
“I expect to pass through this world
but once; any good thing therefore that
I can do, or any kindness that I can
show anybody, or a word that I can
speak for Jesus, let me do it now; let
me not neglect or defer it, for I shall
not pass this way again.”
If every human life were conducted
after the lesson given here what a world
of friends this would be! Some one has
said if we would have friends we must
show ourselves friendly. The common
courtesies of life, a kind word spoken,
a helpful word given, a kind deed that
costs little in sacrifice or effort, has
made undying friends for many a man.
Some one has said: I would rather have
a dog for m3' friend than to have him ns
an eneni}'. Who would not make all
men his friends? Who, as a matter of
choice, would rather have an enemy
than a friend?
There is another old adage which
sa3'K: “A friend in need is a friend in
deed.” We may reach the jioiiit where
we do not need a friend in dollars and
cents; we may reach the point where
we. do not need a friend to protect us
because danger is nigh; but who can
*ay: ‘.‘I ^viR never need the sympathy
and kindness which mao can show to
pian?’’ When the hours of grief and
^ercavepient, whep the hours of siok-
pess apR death shall come, then the
Rripeless value of friends is shown to
ps; tjicu dollars aiel cents and houses
(pid hinds but mock ns in our grief and
jornient us ip our sorrow.
We should make friends of every
body at the expense of everything ex
cept principle. The friends we lose by
ntuuding up for the right were notour
friends, and would lie hurtful to us If
we considered them so. A friend Is one
who not onl}' wishes us well but would-
go out of his way to do us a kindness;
or who would, if he stood alone, de
fend our name and reputation from the
assaults of others. Many men would
have fallen under the blows given but
for the hand of a friend uplifted to
help them. Many a heart would have
burated with grief but for the sni3'-
pnthy poured out to it by a true friend.
And while we rush for riches and pull
for power and gallop in our greed let
ns stop a moment and get our bear
ing* and see how we stand related to
those almut us. We have well-nigh
thrown aside the social features which
fn«fer friendship. We visit too little at
each other’s houses. Man3' long winter
nights we could spend two hoirjg pleas
antly with a neighbor and win him as
a closer friend. Mail}' times we jiass
idly by without the warm grip of the
hand or a kindly jarord the man who
would be worth a world to us in some
coming emergenc}'. We cannot afford
to sacrifice everything to political pre
judices and selfish greed. We must have
friends. We cannot do without them.
If every man whose eye scans these
lines will stop a moment and think how
little he has done to foster friendship
and win his neighlior in the last few
year* he would right about and deter
mine to look In another direction for
awhile. •
In the political world we see it fre
quently asserted In the pres* ‘this polit
ical aspirant has a knife in his sleeves
for some other aspirant,” or this one
has stabbed that one In the back. In
th" commercial world one ninn has un
dermined another in business. In the
social world one person hn* slandered
the other out of decency In the com
munity so far as their ability to do
•uch a tiling would go. The man who
goes around with a kntfe or a pistol
in his pocket is a bud citizen, and de
serves the fate *o many of them re
ceive. The man who undermines and
takes advantage of his fellowman In a
business transaction deserve* to M|ieiid
the remainder of his days within the
penitentiary walls clad in the Hti'i|>CMof
a felon. He whose tongue would smirch
and hurt the good name of his neigh
bor deserves to have his tongue taken
0 it by the root. We are not careful
enough to mind the golden rule “Do
unto others as j'ou would be done by.”
No men have really prospered long who
did t without principle and without
due regard to the feelings and fortunes
of others. I am sorry for any man who
adopts wrong methods and practices
rascality that he himself may rise as ho
rots. Pat truly said: “If we had a
little more of the mailk of human kind
ness in this world what a bright world
we would have.” Let’s do some good
thing for some one every da}' we live.
If we arc not able to do a good thing,
let’s speak a good word for some ono
every day. Soon It would become a
habit with us; and what a blessed habit
it is to do good or to speak helpful of an*
other. Such a habit would gather about
us in sickness and In health, in pover
ty or wealth, in living or dying, a host
of friends who would be worth more to
us than the wealth of the Vanderbilts
or the renown of kings or generals.
No man liveth can get where friends
cannot help him or enemies hurt him,
and he who surrounds himself, living
and dying, with good friends all aliout
him has lived above the selfish life of
him who'dies at last like Mike said Pat
did. When Mike told his friends that
Pat was dead they asked what was the
complaint. No complaint at all, he
said, everybody seemed to be satisfied.
I am sorry for a man when nobody is
sorry that he is dead. I rejoice in a life
that ends at last surrounded by a host
of friends that no man can number.
Amid the fickleness and falsities of this
world there are true friends, and true
friends are the truest things in the
world.

A WOMAN AT A TIGER HUNT.
The Rea*t Wa* a Man-Eater and Killed
One of the Hunters Before It Died.
No one is more daring or courageous
than a woman in the field after large
and dangerous game. One of these
women tells of a tiger hunt in the Sewn-
like that resulted in the deatli of a man
and of a man-eating tiger.
As usual the tiger had worked up con
siderable of a reputation for itself by
feeding on human flesh in large quan
tities, and it at lust became imperative
that the beast should be killed. To do
this it was necessary to build a stand
in a tree, then tie out a living cow as
bait, and when the cow was killed,
which happened the first night, the
hunter took his stand in the tree on the
following afternoon, accompanied by
his wife, who tells the story.
It was the woman’s eyes that first
saw Stripes coming, and it was she who
pointed the animal out for her husband
to shoot. The tiger was wounded in one
leg and through the flesh of the back.
The next day eight men and the woman
went to trail the wounded tiger. The
trail led into the thick brush, where the
single elephant could not go, and the
men had no taste forgoing into a tiger’s
den afoot, so the hunters went up on
a hill to see if they could sight or drive
the beast out, leaving the woman and
some coolies to look out for her. The
men were gone so long that, the woman
became tired of waiting, and climbed
a near-by knoll, "a most difiicult piece
of work,” she says, “because the pebbles
rolled down fre under our feet, and
we had nothing but slippery tufts of
grass to catch hold of,” Meantime the
hunters had sighted the tiger, but did
not get a shot. The tiger was flown in
a gully between the hill up which the
hunters had gone and the one the wom
an had climbed. Stones and yells were
east clown at the brush, but the tiger
wouldn’t come out.
A lame man, Lengra, joined he party,
and he saw the tiger down in the nullah
a little distance away. He wn.s told to
pitch rocks at it, but the lieast refused
to come out. The men were told to get
into trees and they did so, but Lengra,
after getting in a safe one, thought it
wasn’t a good grand stand, and took to
ji ^mailer one. All of a sudden the tiger
charged, and It saw poor Lengra’* leg
dangling from a branch. Up it leaped,
and the bone of the leg was scraiied
clean of flesh, while the tiger, standing
on its hind legs, reHehed up for more.
A bullet in the chest, another in the
throat, ended the beast, and a minute or
two later the man fell down beside the
tiger.
It was not safe <0 go after the l east
then, as it might be playing ’possum,
but later it was found that Isith man
and tiger were dead. The man’s head
was rubbing the tiger’s, the man’s hand
was on the tiger’s shoulder, and the
tiger’s forepaw was on the man’*.—

Tried After Thirty Year*.
William Minniv, who killed William
Ward at Salyersville, Ky., 30 years ago,
was tried in the Magoffin circuit court
recently, and the jury returned a ver
dict of "Not guilty.” At the time of thp
murder Minnix gave bond and left the
country, ami was never heard from
until he appeared for trial. He say* he

men aliout 20 years of age and intimate
friends. One night in August, 1866,
they were, playing cards ami drinking
socially, when a dispute arose over the
game. Minnix struck Ward over the
head with an old-fashioned skillet, frac
turing his skull, from the effects of
which Ward died a few days later.

AT GRAY GABLES.
President Cleveland Makes Many
Improvements at His Home.
Ktadne** Extended to m Lone Oyatermon
Squatting I’pon HI* Domain*—Seat
of Government to He Cape
Cod Thla Summer.
When Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Gray
Gables with her children to spend the
summer tiiere she found that in the
winter many changes and improve
ments had been made about the ex
tensive property. A heavy storm lost
winter tore a great hole in the sea well
that protects the house and its imme
diate grounds, and this has been re
placed by a stronger and more hand
some embankment of stone.
The big lily pond had been emptied
and cleaned and then refilled. There
arc now growing aquatic plants of the
rarest and most beautiful kinds. Mrs.
Cleveland is especially fond of the water
lilies, and the president had this pond
made a year or two ago for her benefit.
On the shore of the Monument river
side of the estate there Is an oyater-
man’s cabin, the only building on the
JOO-acre tract that the president doei
not own. The oysterman built hia
cabin before Mr. Cleveland bought the
property, and It is said that the presi
dent did not know it was there for tw->
or three years. One day he was walk
ing along the river bank and saw the
cabin and the oysterman. Mr. Cleve
land asked him what he was doing
there, and the humble oysterman ex
plained that ht? had been allowed to
build his cabin on the spot where it
stood by the former owner of the land.
He had no lease or other legal right
on the premises, but" he modestly ex
plained that it was a good location
for his business, and asked that he
might be allowed to remain, promising
that he would never make his presence
known to the occupants of the great
bouse, some distance nwny.
The president told the oysterman he
might remain there as long ns he
wished, and there would be no rent to
pay. This man is the only one allowed
to trespass on the place.
“Daddy” Brunn has caught the first
blnefish of the season. He Is the local
fish prophets and he says the season
is going to be an extraordinary one for
largo catches. The bass in the inland
ponds are biting well, and on the sea
ledges there is already some good sport.
It is said in Marion that Secretary
Carlisle has taken a cottage In that
place for the summer. This seems quite
probable, ns the president will want
his financial adviser handy. With Sec
retary Olney in Falmouth, Private Sec
retary Thurber in M.\rk>n and probably
Secretary Lament near by, the seat of
government will be Cape Cod instead
Washington this summer.
A NEW "STRONG BOX.”
Steel Vault* for Silver at New York Sab-
Treasury Almost Completed.
Work on the new steel vault for tin
storage of silver coin in the basement
of the United States subtrensury In
Wall street is progressing rapidly, and
the contractor expects to have It ready
for use in about two weeks. There are
now 50,000,000 silver dollars and more
than $5,000,000 in subsidiary silver coin
stored in the subtreasury basement,
and the necessity for additional vault
room has of late become pressing.
The new vault is a box 12 feet square
and ten feet high, made of steel platea
two Inches thick. It is firmly set In
the corridor adjoining the old steel
vault, and it will hold about $0,000,000
in silver coin. Inasmuch ns there Is
comparatively little silver coinage go
ing on in this country nt present, it is
not expected that the new vault will fill
up very rapidly.
The silver dollars that arc now In
storage, however, are likely to remain
there indefinitely. The experience of
many years has proved that it is impos
sible to keep them in eircuiation. From
time to time a faw thousand dollars are
withdrawn by private persons for some
specific reason, but they soon find thelx
way back into the subtreasury vaults.
Kven the banks which have strong and
capacious vaults of their own arc avers"
to giving storage room to the “cart
wheels.”
A REMARKABLE ROBBER.
Fnnx Czoalca and III* Companions Re-
Carded a* Heroes by Hungarian*.
Franz Czouka, who has jflst lieen ex
ecuted at Kssegg, in Hungary, was o
remarkable criminal. He lielouged to
the Rosza Sanders band, which was re
garded as romantic heroes by the com
mon people. The women idolized Rosza
and he had judges and magistrates in
;his pay. He was the best horseman in
Hungary and managed many bands of
brigands whose work never conflicted.
Twenty-five years ago he and Czouka
were captured and charged with many
murders ami robberies. Czouka said he
was willing to confess to the murders
and robberies were too trifling to talk
about. He was giren 20 years. Tlie
leader was sentenced for life and died
in prison.
Ten yean* ago Czouka, who had served
his time, rcKiinied his vicious career and
