It now transpires that a certain
syndicate in Kansas City was
backing Wolf Coon in the recent
lectionand. in teturn was to be
;given" the collection of the I four
million dollars due the Cherokee
cation from the government. This
was the source from whence came
'the money the Coon men were
spending so freely during the
campaign. Now that Coon and
bis crowd have been defeated
they are petitioning the govern-
ment and remonstrating against
'the seating of Tom Buffington aB
governor of this nation. This is
an example of fullblood loyalty
and patriotism.

ENGLISH HARVEST HOME.
A Quaint But Enjoyable Old. Cnatoaa H

' Obsolete.
ilaebinery model fnnus and the
spread ol whicntiou which has tended
to make farm luborers' children intent
on "bettering" themselves have dealt
a serious blow to the old-faKhioned fes-
tivities' which a few years ago marked
the end of the. harveBt.
Then when the sheaves of ' golden
corn had been safely garnered and the
"last load horiie" was the occasion for
mild al fresco merrymaking' the farm-
er .his wife and daughters with every
man woman and child .on;- the farm
looked eagerly forward to the harvest
supper and dance which should mark
the farmer's gratitude for the good
things a bright harvest had promised
" Lfttle by little this old custom has
died out and one finds but few
places in England ; nowadays where
master and mnn'give themselves up to
pleasure for one night in the year at
least together.
Such gatherings however exist yet
and a Daily Mail representative has
just been a guest nt one. In the most
picturesque portion of Surrey on the
estate of a north-country peer which
stretches ; for miles amid rolling
hillocks glorious woodlands and stub-
ble fields where already the ploV is
turning great ridges' of warm hard
soil the tenants and laborers were in
a keen state pf excitement on the day
preceding their annual harvest supper.
Wondrous tales of the viands the cook
was preparing "up in the big house"
made one's mouth water and burly la-
borers smiled even more expansively
than is the wont of their kind as they
told of the beer and 'baccy which was
free to all comers.
The scene in the village institute on
the night of this annual dissipation
was quaint enough. The long room
decked with a wealth of green boughs
and placards bearing somewhat ful-
some eulogies of the virtues of the lord
of the manor and his family was
ranged with long tables literally
groaning under the weight of the
viands. Great joints of the finest beef
hams- fowls pies and such piesl lay
amid banks of flowers and ferns. A
dozen or mors ruddy-faced villagers
with hair oiled down until it seemed
to have been painted on their heads
their Sunday clothes covered with
spotless white aprons stood ready to
act .their part as waiters. A son of the
house was at the head of the center
table and the others were presided over
by the steward bailiff local ecclesias-
tical dignitaries and other men of
weight and standing ill the little com-
munity while the seat were; filled
With apple-cheeked lasses and sturdy
men and bowed and wrinkled "gran-
fers." How they did eatl ; Pie followed
beef and beef gave way to ehicken and
ham and then huge plum puddings
melted like snowflakes in the sun be-
fore this onslaught There was little
talking the rattle of steel against china
and the clink of glasses were all we
heard until the wreck only of the ar-
ray of viands remained and a great
unanimous sigh Of contentment went
up to the rafters. Then another hour
was devoted to speech and song and
the serious business of the evening was
over. Tables were cleared like magic
a dais for the orchestra a piano a
cornet and a fiddle was erected and
then basketfuls of scraped candles
were trodden into the floor to prepare
for dancing.
When all was ready the guests began
to arrive the rector with his daugh-
ters; local worthies in morning dress
and pumps; their female relatives
decked in dainty dinner blouses which
lent a touch of color and festivity to
the scene and village maidens whose
finery ran to little more than a new rib-
bon on churchgoing frocks or a knot
of flowers in their -hair. One young
man was decked in a painfully new
dress suit cut in a model of perhaps 40
years' antiquity and he looked exceed-
ingly proud of his isolation.
The dances were curious enough; the
young lady visitors had managed to
coax a few waltzes into the programme
but square and country dances pre-
dominated. These last with names
such as would strike wonder into the
heart of a fashionable young man were
not without their picturesqueness.
They wer generally modeled on "Sir
Roger" and were danced with a vigor
that was commendable the couples
from each end of the line ladies one
side men the other down the tenter
back again courtesying and - jigging
merrily for an interval which. would
suffice for three ordinary dances " j
While the young ones danced the
elders sat and gossiped and the men
folk absorbed beer and tobacco in gi-
gantic quantities in an adjoining room
to the accompaniment of doleful and in-
terminable' songs generally sung witU
the least possible regard .to tune. But
they enjoyed themselves as did every
one. Enjoyment was the keynote of
the whole affair bright eyes and smil-
ing lips testified to the happiness of
men and maidens and it was with a sigh
of regret that they at last stood to sing
"God Save the Queen" and then melfc-
ed slowly away info the shadows cast
