"Uncle .loin., when you wore a boy, did you ever, on Hallowe'en, play prank9wii.l1 thogatQ8 and wagon wheels and cabbage patches?" asked Herbert, ?arly Hallowe'en evening. "Ye-B, once; just ouce," answered Mr. Halslcad, while a slow smile spread over his face at the recollection. "It was when I was 13," continued the uncle, "and come to think of it, I guess we were all thirteen. That is a terrible unlucky number; m> wonder wo met with disaster. Henry Ilalos, Jim Fowler, Ed Jones and I got our heads together after school and planned a midnight romp which should include old Josiah Baincgat, who was the ter ror of all the boys in that vicinity. Ho was rich, and lived on a finely culti vated farm; hut he was stingy - pru dent, he called it- and crosser than two sticks. Not a boy in the whole township dated to steal a capful of bis apples or nuU, although ho grew the finest ones in that rogiou, Jim and I planned to <lo what no boy bad ever dared to altem pi -play a trick on old Bamogat, as he was called. Ed and Hen said they would go with us, but wo could see they were fainthearted and fairly shaking in their shoos before we started. "Of course, it isn't necessary to tell you hoys thut WO went to bed BUSpi ciously early thai night, and that at 11 o'clock we crawled out of the window and slid down the porch post, or at least I did,and 1 presume the others got out it) an equally surreptitious manner. Wc met at tho corners, and | proceeded stoathily in a tile toward the j Barnogat farm. "'I'll bot," whispered Jim, "that we'll Qnd every gate natlod fast and every wagon locked up." "'Ami ivory cabbage pulled,' said Ed, with a trotublo in his voice. In those days throwing cabbages on peo ple's porches was a Hallowe'en fashion. Ed's words proved very nearly true. We crept over the garden patch with out finding so much as a cabbage stump, ami tried every gate, without finding one that would lilt oft. Wo were discouraged, and" about to beat a cautious retreat, when Jim said: "'Let's iry the wagon house; per haps he lias forgotten to lock it.' "'lie wouldn't forgot that. Let's get back to the corners," whispered Ed, then he jumped as the 'To-whoo' of an owl echoed through the night. " 'I'm going to try it anyway,' said Jim. Von boys stay hero; I'll be back in it miuutO.' He crept along toward the, wagon house and 1 crawl ed after hun, lien and Ed bringing up the rear. Jim roacbed the bouse fust, ami against its white-paneled surface, 1 could see his black figure making f rantic gestures and bobbing up and down. " 'It's unlocked! It's unlocked!' he whispered, shrilly, as wc drew near. "The old gentleman's wits must have been wool-gathering tonight. We won't do a thing to his wagon, Will we hoys? It was so dark in the building that wc could not discern the outline of a single object and we dare not strike ti match, for fearsome one might he watching from the house. Jim and 1 ventured in while Ed and lien waited, poised on their tiptoes ready for Might. Wc groped around until we fouud the enclosure was bare of everything except a big one-horse wagon. We tried to get the wheels oil but the pins which held them in place had been bent. After a whis pered consultation we decided, in lieu of a wheel, to draw the wagon down the lane and desert it in the middle of a big pasture Held, it we could do it without awakening a roar from the vigilaul shotgun, which rumor said al ways irtood at the old man's bedside. We mulllcd the reach with our coats to deaden the souod somewhat, and crept at a snail's pace past the house, trembling every time one of the huge wheels dropped into a chuckholo. When we got back fifty rods or so from the house what a jolly time we had. We stopped and danced and turned somersaults on the the dry October turf, and tossed our hats in the crisp air, We acted in turn as wc thought Josiah Barnogat would act when he missed Ins wagon, and, altogether performed like a quar tet of lunatics. Finally we took up our line of march toward the pasture field again, Jim and I tugging away at the thills of the wagon, ?vhile Ed "and Hen pushed from behind. Midway in the lane was qu'te a steep hill, down which wc gaily raced at tho lm minoid danger of fim and I being run over by the heavy vohlc'o. Then we pushed and tugged in dOfporatO fash ion to get our load to the top of the gentle incline beyond. Vou will un derstand that wc were pretty tired by the time we turned into the pasture Held. "The night had been rather dark thus far for frosty October, but just as we left the lane the moon peeped over the belt of eastern woods as if she wcro smiling upon our pranks. To keep up our spirits, which were Hug ging with weariness, Jim sung the first line of 'Wait for the Wagon,' I took up the next line, and (hen Ed and Hen followed. lien's clear young voice rang out with: "Wait for the wagon, hoys, and we'll all take a ri-ah-h-h-h!' "It "vas a hair-raising yell which end ed the refrain. Jim and I dropped the tongue and turned in time to sec lid aud Hen streaking for the house. Hen turned once to Bhout, 'Run, boys, run I' and before we had time to collect our wits the boys were mere dots fad ing down I he lane. "I'll 1)0 switched,'said Jim, and in tho moonlight I could sec his mouth puckor as if to emit a whistle. 'Did an owl hoot? Was that what scared thorn?' " ?I don't know, said I, thoroughly disgusted. 'Shall wo leave the wagon here?' "No,' answered he decidedly,'we can drag it a little farlhor. Come on.' "Wearily wo .oiled on for ten min utes longer, when my comrade said, ?I guess wo had better slop when we i get to that stump yonder.' "Then from out the silencoa queru lous voice said: ' Vc'd better turn bc foro you come t' th' stump, 'couse it's purty rough down thar.' Jim gave a jump and f a yell, while tho wagon thills clattered from our nerveless Angers and one thill struck squarely on my great toe. I dropped to tho ground and rolled back and forth in great agony, not caring for a few minutes who aie what admonished us. When tho pain in my too had sub sided somewhat, I tound Jim standing motionless, gazing at the figure of old liarnegat propped up in the roar end r of the wagon box. The sickening 1 thought came to me that ho had bocu ? in the wagon all tho lime, and I f squeezed my toe hardor and groaned. ** 'Come,' sold ho 'it's timo yo took , mo back. I nover had a free rido so i lato at night before; but 1 hOV en joy- I ed it, 1 liev indeed.' " 'Shall wo?' I whispered to Jim. '?IIo pointed silently toward i to wagon, aud following the direction of his linger I saw the gleam of some thing botweeu the old man's knees which looked suspiciously like a gun I barrel. Without a word wo turned the wagon and headed toward the j house. "Aud what .1 trip that was I My toe tortured mo at every step and each muscle in my body was b!rained and quivered with fatigue. The wagon with which wc bad so gayly raced down the Ian" had turned Into a car I of Juggernaut which with every turn of iis big wheels was crushing the blithe spirits from our boyish hearts. And then the humiliation of having the old man drive us as if we were a pair of fractious colts! llo'good' and 'hawed1 and (ducked to us, ami when we came to the little descent in the lane he said: -Sliddy, now. stiddy collies.' And then the future loomed up before us dar? with the jeers ami taunts of our schoolmate?. "When wo came to the steep ascent beyond the declivity our real trouble began. We tugged and pushed man fully, but, do our best, we could not get the heavy wagon to the top. not even spurred by the goading* of tin; ocoupaut, who kepi saying: 'till up' now. (iit ap, my brave collies,' Three times we got our load half way up the incline, only to have it slip ' from our control and go racing down ' with .liiu and 1 hanging on, scraping the turf with our toes and knees. When the wagon Stopped at the loot J of the hill after its third prank Josiah ! Batncgat fished around in the bottom of the-wagon and brought up a lantorn, which lie. handed to us with the words: " 'Here, boys, is a lantern an' th' key . ye kin jest go t' th' barn an' slip th' harness ou Jorry an' mobho he'll help yo pull me up tit' hill. 1 must hev th' rest of my ride, an' then liter's notion' like a slcddy lead horse I' help colts along.1 "When wo were out ol hearing I said to Jim: 'Let's bod and leave the old man silting there.' tk 'No,' he replied, let us put the wagon back where we found it. Bar negat has outwitted us fairly, SO let us take our medicine. Besides he has got a soft spot in his heart somewhere, or he wouldn't have sent us after deny, i But you can bet your life 1 shall never go Hallowo'cuing again.' 1 struck my lacerated toe at that moment against a clod and groaned, 'Nor 1, cither.' "With .Jerry's help we got the wag on housed, and then our passenger climbed out ami said: u 'Boys, ye might hcv run oft when yc went after th' horse, jest as yer friends did when the moon ri/. an' showed me in th' bottom of th' waggin ; but sense yc didn't, I'd like tot nev ye come in th' house an' hcv 'or bite 1' oat; yo've arned It drawlu' me up lb lane.' "So wc went into the house and he brought out nuts and sweet cider and seed cakes, ami we had a royal feast, although we were too tired to really enjoy it. But that put an end to Hal lowe'en larks for us; in fact, we never heard the last of that, one." As Uncle John finished his story something came plump against the , kitchen door, ami Ted remarked that throwing cabbage was still in vogue. CACTI IX A BOTTLE. We find floating around in various papers without credit the following article. We have not tried the ex periment and do not vouch for its ac curacy. A small cutting would grow faster than seed and would be quite as great a curiosity when grown : A new method of growing cacti has been discovered in tlie botanical gar dens of Berlin. It is so simple and easy that no one need he without at least one line cactus in the Bittiug room or pallor. All that is required is a shapely bottle, a little rich earth a id a few cactus seeds that can be bought .:" any llonst lor a few cents. Bottles in I which creme de mentho or some ol the j Other cordials usually come, are well j adapted to this purpose on account of , the clearness of the glass and the grace : of the shape. Having secured thobotllo, cleanse it thoroughly und theo put earth in it until the bottom is covered to a height of about an inch. Sprinkle this earth well, almost soaking wet, and then throw in three or four cactus seeds. Close the bottlo snugly with a tight Qtting cork and seal itclose with seal I lag wax. Tie a strong cord around I the neck of the bottle and hang it in : a window that the sun reaches for at I least several hours every day. In cold weather the bottle must not be exposed to the air. The living room, with a constant temperature of 7b degrees or more, suits the experiment admirably. Then the entire process of growth can be watched with no small interest. The opening and rooting of the seeds, and the gradual development of the plants will follow, almost as it by magic. Soon the cacti will be of such size that you can astonish your friends by a sight of them, ami they will hardly be lieve you when you tell them that these plants are growing without any care or water. That they will so flourish for years is proven by the fact that a bottled cactus was grown in the manner described at the Berlin botanical gar dens, the bottle having been sealed up just live years ago.

There ! is a ulco little town ever there called Prosperity, hut 1 didn't ?eo it. I went I to the old town ol Darlington. I was there eighteen years ag'\ It was a good old town then, but it has renewed its youth and taken on new life und I hardly kcow the place. Cotton mills and oil mills and ^oud fanning have done it. The cotton crop of that coco ty is .'to.tiou bales and the tobacco mop was 0,000,000 pounds and it brought half as much money as the cotton crop. Fifteen years ago there was nut a pound for ealo raised in tho county., T?ey didn't know it would grow there. ', Now there are three lame warehouse*), ' where it is auctioned oft every day. 1 ! attended the auctions an.l it was a re- , j velatlon to mo. The farmers' wagons ! ' were, unloading all around and thoir ! tobacco was piled up neatly In long I rows and their names and the number of pounds written on a card am! stuck j in tho split end of a little white pine stick aud that was stuck in tho center I of tho pile. Vot an hour or two before tho auction begins the buyers from [llohttiOhd and Winston and Durham I and Liverpool and other markets went j all aruund and examined the quality of I overy pile and took notes. Tho auc i tioncer talked so fast I could not un I derstand him, but the buyers did. 1 reckou there were two or three hun ? dred piles in each warehouse and tho I auctioneer and the cru-sd went from pllo to pile and sold each one where it was. 1 heard pome knueked down >i-. luw as y cents and tome as high as 07 centd. There Is one curious rule about to baeco autlona thut does not apply te any other auction. The farmer can reject tho highest hid and keep his to bacco, if he and his boys have resolved I that their crop shall '."dug 20 cents a j pound and it brings only 10 ho turns the card down and takes ins tobacco home or maybe hauls it around to an other warehouse, where the. same buy- i ers lind it next day and may ho bldovor 20 cents for it. This it one of the tricks of the trado. ThodilToronco bo I tween the grades was hardly per.-. .. I hie to my eyes, but the buyors Know, j It was all R bright yellow, but BOine ! was brittle and wormeaton and some was soft and pliant as a kid glove. | This was bought for wruppors. This evolution has oome within ton years, and la increasing every year, for an acre of good tobacco will bring $100 and it'.osts only ?20 to cultivate it. My friend, Mr. Williamson, the banker, told mo he had thirty live acres plant- j cd this year and It netted him -f'.7 per I acre. There te another evolution In Dar lington County. Ton years ago i>o wheat was grown thore. Now ovory farmer sows wheat und a largo Hour mill has* recently been built. It was the tu on way in middle Goorgia. Un- I til about livo years ago ail that rogion wai under too nan, ana the farmers did ! not pretend to grow wheat. Now they | make more Wheat to tho aero, all I around Griffin and Barnosvlllo, than we can make In North Georgia. And so evolution and revolution Is going on, hut they don't give McKinley credit for it in South Carolina, it is amusing to hear them toll about the prosperous negroes over there. Between cotton and tobacco they pocket a pile of mon ey, and spend nearly every dollar bid fore they leave, town. One man SO'd them thirty-seven Rook ilili buggies It) one week, and Mr. Williamson told me Of a darkey, who drew $57 and .-.pent -t135 of it that day for a line gun and a pointer dog.

Utio of the features of the trial was the absence of Mre. Fannie A. Hralton, who was wanted as a material wltnoi-s for the delenso. Shu is John Bratton's young wife, on whose account Brown was killed. A warrant was issued for her arrest but sho was not lound. It was supposed that she could not face er former friends In that role. Tue last witue-s for tho htate. Dr. T. A. Crawford, testified to having at tempted to got a statement from Brown as to wl o had killed him. B"own had said it was either Amory Crockett Gale or Bratton. Crockett is a brother and Gale a brother in iaw of Mrs. John Bratton. Asked whether I'aul Bratton naJ shot bun Brown replied in an in articulate manner, but a lb r mat1 vo tone. While- Paul Uraltun was more close > connected with the killing than his ; brother, und while the evidence at the coroner s InOjUOSt tended to show he hud gone into tho house, leaving his brother in a carriage, and had shot 13rown while In bed with his family, nothing was developed to connect hi to with the killing, llo who indicted n-, principal and John as aoOOSSOry. Tlie sensation of tho trial occurred when John S. liratton was put on the ' stand and took upon himself the wholo i responsibility for the Bhootlng, shield ing h's brother at every point. Ural ton told, to an Immense crowd thut packed the courthouse to the wails, the story of tho tragedy In which bis wife had played so prominent part on the night of Saptembor 13th. Llo said ho had made an Inves' igation of suspicious noises in his houjo. On going down Stairs, in his ni| tit clothing, ho had surprised Brown in Mrs. Bralton's room. Brown had jumped out of a window and Bratton followed and cuught him. Brown as the mo-<t pow erful man and a swing being near, he got thj rope around liratton's nu< k ami nearly Strangled him. Bjfore losing I eonsoIousnesS Bratton had orlcd 11 Mur I der!" and neighbors came and released I him. These neighbors test,lied to having come upon the. -cone anil rescu ing Bratton from Brown. Mr.-. lirattO I was In her night clothing and Brown partially disrobe J.. Bratton loft Brown with thorn to hold, while ho went to look for a pistol with which to kill him. In his ab sence Urown told them he hud been caught la u torrlble prodicaraent and to take him off and hung him, or do what they would with him. They re leased him before Bratton'a return. Bratton eontlnuod his testimony by saying ho determined to follow Browr. to hla homo at Ltock Hill ami kill blm. Ho asked his brother, Paul, to uc company him. Ho tried to dissuade hasty action, but finally went, as .lohn was determined to go, if alone. He told about the midnight drive to Hook Hill, being directed to Brown's house by a policeman, following Brown's father-in-law from the street door into Brown's room, and shooting him In bed. Tho speeches by eloquent lawyers for the defense, made many men in court weep. Tho jury remained out eighty minutes and returned with a verdict of " not guilty.''

Preston Porter did not seem to real ize tho uwful punishment thut ho wus destined to undergo. As he hud ex hibited iudliVercnce to too enormity of his crime, BO he BOOtned to luck nil un derstanding of its terrlblo conse quences. For more than nn hour, while preparations for his execution were in progross, he uto kI mute und sullen among the avengers. When everything was roady tie walked to tho stake with a firm step, pau&ed as he reached tho circle of broken hoards, to km el in prayer. lie was allowed to take hi- lime. He arose und placed his hack to the iron stake and half u dozen men wound chains uhout his body and limbs. Korosoneoll was ap plied 10 the wood and after u brief pause, Ltlohard W. Frost, tho father of tho little Frost girl, whoso cruelly mutilated body wus found ono week ago on that very spot, applied u mate! . If or a moment hut a little flickering llame arose. Then the oil blazed up, I arks Hew into the air an 1 the. wood begun to crackle. Almost instantly, the negro's trousers caught lire, l iven though the llosh must have been SCOrchod, he liid not utter u sound. The llamus crept slowly upward on his clothing, the Sparks dying up in a cloud palo smoke. Porter tu rood his head and a frightful expression changed his face. With a suddon convulsive tugg ing he stretched his head us fur from the rapidly increased Humes us possi ble and uttered u cry of pain, "Oh, my Uod, let mo go, men. I've got some thing more to tel! you. 1'lease let me co. Oh, my God, my Clod." Ir. terrible screeches these words, the first lie hud uttered aloud, came from tho negro. A terrible tugging al tho chains, asucc ission of awful groans and scroams, the agony was at lust breaking down bis eullon composure. Not an onth escaped, but he boggod und pleadod t.o \<o shot Suddenly the rope holding his bunds burned through. Then arms, head and shouldors slipped thijugh tho chains, l or an Instant tho body stood erect, tho arms were raised in supplication while burning piecosof clothing dropped from them. The body then foil away from the lire, the head lower than the feet, still fas tened to the. rail. This was not ex peoted, and for a few minutes those stolid mon wore disconcerted; they feared that tho only remaining chain would givo way. If this had occurred the partly burned human being would havo hoen dashed among them In his blazing garments. And not many would have cared to oapturo him again. Hut tho chain held fast. The body was then in such a position that onlv ihn logg w, ru j-. |,ho Uro. The cries of the wrotoh wero rodoubled ?ml he again begged to be shot. Somo wanted to throw him into the lire, Others trleil to dash oil upon him. Hoard:* wcro ear Pled and a largo pilo mado over tho prostrate body. Tliey soon wero ignit ed and the terrible heat and lack of air quickiy rondered the victim uncon* BOiOUS, bringing death a fow moments later. This terrible ceremony, out upon the rolling prairie, concluded the second tragedy up< n that spot, tho ter rible avenging of tue liivt. Through tho entire atfalr but little wan said. Ah they had calmly prepared for tho avenging, bo the people of tho oastorn part of the State Oitrriod out thoir plan coolly and deliberately. Thero was not a hitch in tho on tiro proceedings. Not a weapon was drawn; then was no angry dfsousssion. After the lire bad burned low they told each other good night and they wont homo. They did not stop to disouBB tho affair. 1 No inquest whs hold over tho re mains ; in fact, the coroner could find no r< mains upon which to hold an In quest. A few men remained ut the spot where the murder was committed ami avenged, and replenished tho Ore again and again until every vestigo of tho negro was meliorated. It is esti mated that 700 people witnessed 'the execution. Wh'.io no ffouiefl witnossed the cremation many .>f them wont to the soonebefote the fire was lighted and remained wi.i'.o the negro was led from carrlago to carriage for inspec tion. Tho women's veto was a unit for burning. "Well, no other parents will sutler from that brute's crimes." These wero tho words of Mrs. I'Vost whon askod for 1 an expression of opinion as to tho pun lshmout of tho nogro who confessed that ho was tho murderor of her child. "Ofcourso, I was not consulted as to tho punishment to ho motod out and 1 did not know what fato awalto him " Sho continued : "I did not care so ho House Work is Hard Work without GOLD DUST.

Governor Thomas refused to express an opinion in regard to the affair, and tho district attorney sale that the pros* eeutlon of the leader j would be utterly futile, owing to public sentiment being in sympathy with them. The clergy men of Denver unanimously deprecated tho method pursued in tho lynching, but some of them said the uegro should have been hanged or shot. A movement to reinstate capital punishment in the statutes of Colorado lias received an impetus from tho mur der of Louise Frost and the lynching. A bill with this object in viow is now being drawn, and its advocates, it is said, will muKe an aggressive light for its enactment ut the coming session ol the Legislature.

The re sponses which ! received wore very encouraging! ami 1 am B?ro that this rcijui st for tho co-operation of the municipal authorities resulted In gojd and abettor enforcement of tho lav. My purpose now is not only to renew my request for the hearty oo operation of the municipal authorities In tho en forcoraont ol this law, hut also to ro i eelve any juggestlons that any of thest olllcers nay feel luollned to make. In asmuch as the people of the State have shown in several elections by a very I decided majority that thev uro in I favor of the dispensary ? ..em. it { >non? ?e me that the best th Ig ' ?? nil good citizens to do is to go earnestly to work to amend and Improve the law and as far as possible perfect the sys tem.

I havo endeavored to enforce, tho law without friction und without blood shed und i fo?*l gratified at the result, i fool satisfied that the only way to secure u strict enforcement of the law is to have a healthy public sentb ?> nt1 In fuvor of its enforcement.

The principal thing now i* I to have it nroperly enforced, and with j a healthy public senttmcnt in its favor und a realization on the part of the raunioioal authorities that it is part of their duty to assist and oo-oporato in its enforcement, violations of the law will grow less and less.
