AGAINST THE ORGANIZATION.

The farmers are not taking kindly to the “threshers trust,” as they characterize the organization of threshermen in this county. There are a few threshers in the county who have not joined the organization, and these, it is claimed, are contracting to thresh at the old price. A meeting of farmers was held at Saylorville schoolhouse one night recently and quite a good deal of threshing previously promised to others is alleged to have been transferred to one of the threshers outside the ’•trust.”

Bronchitis For Twenty Years.

Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, 111., writes: ”1 had bronchitis for twenty years and never got relief until I used Foley’s Honey and Tar which is a sure cure.” A. F. Long.

Miles and Brooke.

Should the forced retirement of General Nelson A. Miles from the command of the army, as has been talked about, be made a certainty, his successor would naturally be Major General Brooke, now stationed at Governors island and the senior officer of his rank. The situation recalls that of 1879, when both officers named then ranked as colonels, Brooke receiving his colonel’s commission in that year. A friend of the then Colonel Brooke, complimenting him on his promotion, added, “I can see the star of a general very close to you.” “Not so very close,” responded Brooke, “for I can see Miles between me and that star.” New York Times.

Deserves a Pension.

The Italians are discussing the advisability of pensioning Mrs. Maddalena Granatta, a woman of fiftyseven, who lives near Nocera, twelve miles from Naples. Iler husband has been dead ten years, but during the nineteen years they lived together as man and wife they had sixty-two children born to them, fifty-nine of the lot being males. Eleven different times in nine years triplets were born, and on three different ocasions four boys were announced, and once there were four boys and a girl.

The Work of Old Boys.

Lord Kelvin is seventy-eight years of age. Under a rule recently adopted by a western railway company he couldn’t get a job in its service because he is, over thirtyfive. Yet he can oitwork today three-quarters of the youngsters, to say nothing of his value as a thinker. The greatest work of our time is being done by men over sixty and much of it by men more than threescore years and ten. Rochester Democrat. Hla Commlaalon. When Coronet Joyce, one of Cromwell’s men, went to Holmby to remove King Charles I. to safer (patters, there being a plot among Presbyterians to kidnap him, he took along 500 troopers. When Charles stejmed out of his house, he was confronted by this considerable force. The king at once asked whether Joyce had any commission for what he was doing. “Here,” replied Joyce, turning in his saddle as he spoke and pointing to the soldiers he headed, “is my commission. It is behind me.” “It is a fair commission,” replied King Charbs, “and as well written as I have seen a commission in my life.”
