SENOR JIM DANDY

By MARION WOODWARD

When the American Silver company opened Its mine ut La Paz on concessions granted hy the Peruvian government it was tacitly understood that the corporation would ho '"assessed” now and then for the benefit of a new revolutionary leader, but there was to be no flirt her extortion. There was none, and tlie profits began.to pile up. Then there came a call from So nor OaKolnni. The sen >r was not the president of Peru nor yet the general of its army nor the admiral of its navy. He was simply t'asolani. outlaw and guerrilla. When Peru was at war he was a guerrilla and aimed to kill more enemies than friends. When he was at peaec.hu was an outlaw and robber and showed no favor. lie hud his headquarters in the mountains and a band of fifty cutthroats to do Ids bidding. and lie was both feared and respected. Many attempts had been made to capture or kill him, but he always came out on top, und when bribes were offered lie took the money and shot the hearers. It was a merry life that Senor Casolani led. There was robbery In the morning, killing at noon and the sack-

away the hours of evening. He lived ou the fat of the land, felt that he owned all of South America, and there were times when lie used to actually ache for some one to defy him. After the American mine began shipping ore that was 90 per cent pure and the stockholders lmd received a first dividend of 00 per cent the senor made a call at La I’az. He left his bodyguard of ten ruffians outside, entered the offices and stated Ids case in a soft and gentle voice. He wanted a loan of $5,000 in cash, and lie didn't want to spend more than half an hour haggling about it. *

Old Iluabaseo, native assistant superintendent at the mine, had known of the senor for many years. In fact, the senor had cut off his brother’s ears and bis brother-in-law's bead on a festive occasion, and bad only missed him by a hair's breadth. With old Iluabaseo to plead his case, assisted by threats to call in his bodyguard and turn them loose, the senor departed a richer and happier man. Three mouths later lie tried the same thing and won. He tried it a third time and was ns courteously received.

Then the officials in New York rebelled and sent Jimmy Clayton down to La I'az to replace the other superintendent and stop the leak. The most that any of them knew about Jimmy was that be had come from a good family, had been left half a million dollars at the age of twenty-four and three years later was without a shilling to his name. He would not know a mine when he saw one, and his executive abilities had never been tested, but certain stockholders got the Idea that Jimmy would be a match for Seuor Casolanl, ami he was furnished with an outfit and shipped off to the Peruvian coast. He bad been at La Paz for two weeks when old Huabaseo said In confidence to the small office force, all natives: “My children, I don’t exactly understand the Senor Americano. He is soft and gentle and silent, but now and then I catch a look that reminds me of sleeping danger. I must wait until I see him In the presence of Casolanl. He, too. Is soft and gentle and silent, but whnt a devil! The Senor Americano will either prove a milksop or what they call In his country a Jim dandy. Walt for a few days and we shall see.”

Another fortnight passed away, and then the famous guerrilla called. This was the fourth call, and he had growu so used to the road and the humility of his receptions that he came alone. He had heard of the new superintendent and had a curiosity to see him. In his heart he respected a brave m«n, and as he entered the offices, carelessly switching his leg with a branch cut from a tree, he found himself hoping that Senor Clayton would show a bit of gameness. The American sat reading a newspaper with bis feet on the window sill, and Senor Casolanl bowed tow before him, purely in sarcasm, however, and politely said:

“Permit me to Introduce myself as Senor Casolani, and to hope that Senor Clayton is well.” ’‘Thanks, awfully,” replied Jimmy as he looked up from his paper and back again.

“Ybu may have heard of me?” continued the guerrilla, secretly admiring the other’s coolness, though it stung him at the same time. “Y-e-s. You are the itiferuai murderer and outlaw who has been prancing through this part of the country for the Inst seven or eight years. Yes, I have heard of you. In fact, I was sent down here to mnke your better acquaintance, and I am glad you have called.”

“The usual semiannual payment is due, 1 believe.” suggested the man as his eyes began to burn in a way to make old lluabasco’s flesh creep, "And lik.-wise .something else,” grimly replied Clayton. “I do not understand the senor." “No? Well, if I should tell you io get out of here, would you understand that?” It was evident to Casolani that he had a man of mettle to deal with, and then* was a smile on ills face as he thought of liow he would make the Americano beg for bis life and lick the dust off the floor before he was through with him. “Does the seuor wish to insult me?” asked the guerrilla gently. “I couldn't if I wanted to! Look here, Casoilni, this thing is played out!”

“You mean—you mean”— “I mean that if you don't take yourself off and keep away from La Pa* I’ll kill you like a dog. That’s pat, and you don't want to miss it. You've killed scores and robbed hundreds, and think yourself a devil of a fellow, but I’m not afraid of you. There’s the door you came in at, and if you are not gone in two minutes I’ll kick you out!” “And now let me have my say,” replied the guerrilla in a voice hoarse with passion and with eyes blazing like a mad tiger. "1 do not shoot yon where you sit because’’— “Because yon are a coward at heart,” interrupted Clayton.

“Because I admire a brave man. You are gaiue, senor, and I respect you. Let me say, however, that tomorrow I will return and sweep everything here off the face of the earth and carry away your ears in my pocket. Today the mine may work; tomorrow it shall be closed down forever. Today there are 200 living men here; tomorrow all shall be dead or scattered. That Is the word of Casolani, senor.”

“And 1 am much obliged to him. Will you walk out or be kicked out?” The guerrilla walked out and was soon lost to sight in the forest, and old Hnabasco whispered to his subordinates:

Avoid serious results of kidney or bladder disorder by taking Foley's Kidney Cure. Sold by A. F. Long.

<r Jfdt _ yet, my children—not yet The Senor Americano la cool and calm, and there Is a sting to bis words, but he may be what his countrymen call a bluffer. We must wait another day.” There was but one approach to the mine, and Senor Casolanl and his band would come by that road. Men were brought up from the depths of the mine to dig and trench, the electrician laid his wires and the civil engineer planted his dyaumite, and for two hours before the guerrillas appeared next day Senor Clayton sat on the same chair with a lever within his reach. Nobody had run away, nor had work been suspended. Everything was going on as usual wheu fifty or sixty cutthroats came charging down the wide road, yells on their lips and knives in their hands. Senor Clayton looked up and watched, and after a bit his hand reached out and touched the lever. There was an explosion which made the mountain tremble in its bowels. Then he picked up his paper and began reading again. ”My children,” said old Huabaaco after the excited people had counted up the dead and identified Don Casolanl among the number, “I told you first we must wait until Senor Casolanl had called; then I told you we must wait for today. Now I tell you we need wait no longer. Let us go back to the office and give what the Americanos call three cheers for what the same people also call a jim dandy of a man!”

His I’s.

Gdheral Ogle, when submitting a letter for approval by the Pennsylvania legislature, which he had addressed on their behalf to the newly elected president, General Andrew- Jackson, was interrupted by a dapper little fellow from Philadelphia thus: “Pardon me, general. Ido not wish to assume to make a suggestion to so distinguished a gentleman as yourself, but I cannot refrain from saying that it is customary in the east, and I may say in almost all the civilized countries of Europe, to write With a capital ‘l’ Instead of the small ‘i’ in using this personal pronoun in epistolary correspondence.” General Ogle drew down his heavy brow-s, piercing the dandy's marrow with the fierce shaft of scorn that shot from his eye. “Sir,” said he, beginning with a hiss and ending with a roar, “when I write to such a great man as General Andrew- Jackson, Democratic president of the United States, I abase myself—l abase myself, sir! I use as small an T as I can put on' paper. But, sir, if I should ever get to such a low pitch as to have to write to such a little snipe as you are I'd use an ‘l,’ sir, • that would fill two pages of foolscap!”

ORGANIZATION.

The Democrats of Indiana cannot put too much stress upon the necessity for organization in the present campaign, it is the one thing that brings members of the party into close touch with each other, that leads to Interchanges of ideas, to wise counsels and to effective work. Without it much of the effort of individuals, however intelligent and well meant, is ineffective because It is not made in unison with the effort of others and is thus lacking in that broader scope which it might otherwise attain. The county committee ought to take up the subject at once and prosecute it till every school district is in charge of some earnest, enterprising Democrat who will take immediate steps in organization.

Whether the party is in a majority or a minority makes no difference. If the former, no effort should be lacking to make it more pronounced, and effective organization is the one great factor in its accomplishment; if the latter, the Republican majority may be reduced and thus even a minority county may contribute to a victory in district, state and nation. What is true of the party organization as a whole is alike true of every individual of which it is composed. Everyone can do something, and where the direction is intelligent the effort earnest and the zeal untiring, the work will be effective. The matter should not be deferred but should be taken up at once. There is no greater thief, with the possible exception of some Republicans who were employed in the postofflee department at Washington, than Procrastination. It steals time and time in a campaign is always valuable. Now is the time for work, and the first work to be done is to organize. This accomplished, everything else will be easy, for on a close, thorough, compact organization all the future work of the campaign must be based. The State Central Committee must depend upon the county committees for its information, and the National Committee must depend upon the state organization. Thus, In the very nature of things, the county, township and school district organizations are the structures from which is built the confidence and the intelligent effort that alone can insure a November victory. U

Naw Milk Process.

A new French process of sterilizing milk—the fat of the milk is thoroughly broken up after beating, thus avoiding the lumpiness of the cream, which consumers have found so objectionable. It is said that when cream is treated by this machine it is rendered quite homogeneous, and the fact that the fat globules are broken up makes the cream look thicker and become more uniform. When milk and cream arc* treated by a homogenizing machine they mix moie thoroughly with tea and coffee. Having seen the advantages of the process, some of the largest dairy companies in London have ordered machines.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

ProSt la Poultry. With a fifty acre farm, one-half devoted to poultry culture and the other to the raising of grain, a man can with one hired assistant clear more money in a year than he could had he w-orked a section of land for all it was worth. He can grow- fowls—chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese—both for eggs and meat, and with our rapidly growing population and the consequent increasing demand there will never be a time when a young chicken will beg for a place in- the market at from 25 to 30 cents. On the contrary, the market will beg for the fowls at prices from 25 to 50 per cent higher. Poultry is as sure a crop as any that may be grown on the farm. True, you may have cholera or some other troublesome disease, and your flock may be greatly reduced, but are not droughts and cyclones likely to play equally as much havoc with growing crops?— Ohio Poultry Journal. To Dissolve Bones For Fertiliser. Farm and in answer to the inquiry as to the best method of dissolving bones for farm fertilizers, says: Without expensive machinery sulphuric acid cannot be used to dissolve bones and prepare them as a fertilizer for farm crops. Instead of this, substitute unbleached ashes and dissolve bones almost entirely in the following manner: Put down a layer of bones six inches thick in a circular form. Cover these with strong wood ashes six inches deep and on this another layer of bones until a depth of three or four feet has been reached. Keep this pile thoroughly moist for some six or eight w-eeks, and at the end of this time the ashes, will have dissolved a large per cent of the phosphoric acid and lime contained in the bones. LiWe For Fowls. The best way to give lime to fowls Is in the form of bones, either fresh or finely broken or burned and in ash. Then the lime will be digested easily and supply the needs of the fowls healthfully. And, as all animals that feed on vegetable food need salt to refresh the gastric fluid and restore the wastes of the body, this is the best and most safely given in small quantities with the food every day. Salt in excess is a most acrid poison. —Farmer's Advocate. Handling Hogi. A test was made recently on two loads of hogs numbering 121 hogs. They were weighed Just as they came from the cars before feeding or watering, After being sold, fed and watered they were reweighed and showed a gain of 890 pounds over and above the first weights. The owner of the hogs did not know this test was made. Country shippers who think hogs do not gain when properly handled should “paste this in their hat.”—Chicago Live Stock World. The Beat Garden Manure. The best manure for the garden is that obtained from the barnyard. Some farmers consider horse manure worth twice as much as that of the cow or pig. Experience shows that few crops draw more heavily on the soil than vegetables. This is explained from the fact that sometimes two or more crops are taken from the same garden in one season; therefore it does not pay to stint on fertilizers.—American Agriculturist. The 'Vain a hie Sheep. Sheep excrement is one of the richest and most valuable fertilizers which can be applied to growing crops, and the animal which makes it brings in many other valuable returns for the feed and care bestowed upon it. The carcass and the fleece are, under ordinary conditions, sources of considerable income to the farmer, and the animal is almost indispensable in subduing fine lands.—Farmer’s Advocate. Bran as Hog Feed. Bran is not a very satisfactory ration for pigs, says American Agriculturist. It carries a large amount of protein, but it also contains a lot of fibrous which the pigs cannot utilize. It Is better to feed bran to cows and to buy middlings for pigs. Feed For Wool. Wool is a product from feeding, Just the same as fat is or flesh, and the flock should be fed with a view to wool growth and that of fine quality.
