Rusticating. O, were you ne'er a country boy, and did you ne'er feel the exhilara titan that comes from close contact with nature? Did you never get up before day in the morning, go out to the lot and see brindle with the other cows puffing and blowing, some asleep, others chewing the cud, while nearby in their stalls. Bill, Jack and the other hourses were actually mak? ing music eating corn. Meantime the young cock seems trying to outcrow the old cock, and you ari assured that a fight will come off that day. which will settle matters. The inter? vals of quiet which might be are filled by the gobbler, the peacock and the geese. The farmyard is a veritable world to the average boy: the old :.cn with her brood, the pig. the cat, and above a".:, the dog, come in for their share of interest. Standing about in the barnvard a bit. suddenly he remem ters that the calves did not come up last night, so calling the dog, Bob Ridley, away, he goes to the pasture and possibly before returning gets on ? famous rabbit hunt or Bob trees a coon. That is a high .:ay in his life, whose memories rare to be handed down to children's children. The wondering ones will sit open-mouthed ? . and hear how, after much difficulty, he succeeded in climbing the great tree and shook out the coon, which Bob, brave dog, the finest in the world, pounced upon. But it was a tiger coon. ~The children's eyes start in their sockets, for they are left to settle what a tiger coon is. Poor Bob is having a hard *ime of it, for coon and dog have rolled into the water, where it is only a question of time with the dog. had not the timely ar rival of his master saved him by pull? ing him out by the legs. But this is *S not all of the country boy's life, hard? ly a beginning. It has its shady side as weil as its sunny, as when on a sabbath in company with other boys, passing some water and discovered a lor of fish. Boys don't think much. 2nd so they, forgetful of the holy day, are muddying in a minute, and are so busy that they fail -to see. the preacher coming up "the road. The matter is promptly reported, and in due time the boy appears before the judgment seat; it really seems that. From discovery the boy had been in dread agony of the hour. He knows the rod vpli foe the toughest (father -te a ;Iudge~-of ' timber), the chastise-j ment severe, because the offense is sore. When he has once passed . h rough the ordeal he does not mope nor sulk, but soon his little bosom is heaving to express his good feel? ings. He actually thinks himself hap? pier for the licking he got. At another time he comes in with his face in a knot of pain, his hands upon his stomach. It is to the angel of the home he has come. That boy wants sympathy. He does not want scolding. He needs help, relief, and he knows who will be surest to lend them. He may. doubt some things, but one thing is a certainty; his is the truest of mothers. Oh, there she comest her quick step tells her con? cern, her look helps, her very touch socthes him. What a treasure is mama. Green apples have few ter? rors to the boy possessed of a sympa? thetic, intelligent mama. Shall I sey? more? "Yes, go on." Well on con? ditions. I have an invalid friend at Dalzell, Mrs. Kate Boykin. If she will tell of the country giri I will try :o say more of the country Have seen one fine piece of cotton, near Darlington.

C., June 12, 1907. The Storm Monday Night. Darlington, .June 12.-Since writ? ing you the within I have learned more particularly of the storm. It began about Dovesville, was about two miles wide and lasted fully half an hour; many of the stones, it is ?aid, would measure one and a half inches in diameter. Notwithstanding it fell between 9 and 10 o'clock at night, there were quantities remain? ing in places next morning. Of course all crops were damaged. Some of the farmers were insured on all crops, some only on tobacco and. as you may expect: some had no insur? ance. Tobacco was insured for fifty and cotton for $20 per acre. The farmers I have talked with are uncer? tain what they will do. Since the hail we have had floods of rain with heavy vvinds that blew down all crops, es? pecially corn. I forgot to say that the l ailstorm seemed to be moving in a northeasterly direction. A very- destructive hail passed through the Mont Clare section this county yeterday, Tuesdav. after econ, destroying all crops. It extend : ? Pee Dee. Mont Clare is the pose ce of E.

Karry Orchard Made to Weep and Hide His Face-His Motive for Con? fessing. Boise, Idaho, June 13.-The men v.-ho aro battling to save the life of William D. Haywood and the good name of the Western Federation of Miners made their greatest assault upon Harry Orchard today, who, car? rying the review of cross-examination of 'his life of crime down to his con? fession, they bitterly assailed his guiding motives. Six days they spent in stripping him before the jury of every shred of morality, and then, soddenly turning upon him in a final ::erce attack, they fought with every means known to tho legal craft to convince the jury that Orchard was emmitting a crime in falsely swear? ing away the lives of innocent men in the hope of saving his own. They carried their attack to the very lan? guage with which the witness answer? ed ?.heir questions and everywhere they alleged by forceful implication that it.was put into his mouth by men controlling him. This series of quickly delivered at? tacks gave to the trial amid the scenes around the high witness chair in Judge Wood's court a depth of dramatic interest that gripped and held every man and woman who watched and listened. Orchard wavered ?'hen they recit? ed to him the tale of David and Uriah that Detective McPartland re? lated to him when he came -seeking a confession. Ho fought to save him? self, but tears filled his eves and he rocked unevenly- like a fainting wom? an. His voice lowered to huskiness, and he hid his face in a handker? chief. Then he steadied himself and went strongly to the end. He defended his motives by saying that he had finally experienced conversion and penitence and had resolved to make all possible reparation by a free con? fession. McPartland had told him that he was doing a great service for the State and that the States were kind to men who served them. There was no other promise. "You knew that if you confessed to the Stenunberg murder, the State would put you out of the way?" ham? mered Attorney Richardson. "Yes. sir." "And would do it quickly?" "I believed they would put me ou*, of :hc way." "But somewhere along thc- line the thought came to you that you could get 2?S Of .-jj*i.-hy-^yfog to -some-_ body else?" "No sir; that was not thought of at ali." And here Orchard gave a remarka? ble explanation of the motive that im? pelled him to confess. His voice fell to a low* tone, but there was no other show of emotion. Complete silence gave every word to the entire room. ! The whiz of an electric fan overhead ! was the sole accompaniment of the j recitation. "I thought," he said., "of putting myself out of the way, but I thought over my past life. I did not believe in a hereafter at all, but I was afraid to die and I thought at times that I had been such a monster and that my crimes had been so great that I I would not be forgiven-" "Who told you that?" "Xo one." "Who wrote that out for you?" "Xo one, but after I had been sent c Bible and had read it,some, I came to the conclusion that I would be for? glen if I made confession of every? thing. I began to think that the grave did not end everything, and I made up my mind to tell the truth about the whole thing"." "So you thought you would make your peace with the future by having somebody else hung, did you?" asked Mr. Richardson. "Xo. sir, I think any man can make his peace with the future if hf wants to. I believed it was my dut> t?. tell the truth-I did . not see an> other way-regardless cf the conse? quences to myself or anybody else. 1 owed it to society. I owed it to God and to myself." Proving Orchard*.'; Story. Boise. Idaho, June 14.-Following yesterday's dramatic testimony by Harry Orchard in the Haywood trial of how the first confession was worm? ed from him by Detective McFar? land's third degree tactics, today's events appeared tame. The State be? gan its efforts to corroborate Orch nrd's story. Each separate case will be taken up by the State in the effort :.< prove Orchard's story.

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL. The Cross-Examination of Orchard Disclosed the Line of Defense. Boise. Idaho, June 13.-The proba? ble attitude of the Haywood defense was learned, as the result of the cross-examination of Harry Orchard. The parry for Orchard's damaging thrusts will be a general denial of every statement made by the witness. The attempt will be made "to prove that Orchard's murder of Gov. Steunen berg was prompted solely by a desire f;-r personal revenge and was not the result of any collusion with the West? ern Federation of Miners. Orchard frequently threatened that the late Gov. Steunenberg would pay dearly for causing him to lose a fortune which was within his grasp. Attor? ney Richardson's questions were suf? ficiently pointed to reflect the proba? ble line the defense will pursue. Will Cure Consumption. *A. A. Herren. Finch.
