Worn out from tramping railroad tracks, their feet lacerated and bruised by stones, Abner Hammond S years old, and his wife, Mary, 07 reached Des Moines this morning on their way to Pewaukee, Wiscon sin. They bad walked from Sher man, Texas, to Leavenworth, Kan sas, more than 200 miles. At Leav enworth the aged couple gave up the task and appealed to charity for aid. Railroad tickets to Des Moines were bought them there, and they arrived here over the Great Western last night. The old man left his wife at the depot this morning, while he wont out again to seek further aid. "It's our last trip to gether," Hammond said at the po. lice station, where he applied for charity. "We want to get back to our old home, where friends will care for us till we die. It's been an awful journey." Hammond said he and "Mary" were invalids, up in Wise main. They read in the papers about Tex as, about the cotton fields, the sun ny southern climate, the magnoliu blossoms, the land of fruits and berries, and they decided that such a gardeu would be the ideal place for spending their last daystogethei They had a little home, which thev Bold, and bought tickets to Sherman. They started toward the "garden" about which they had talked si long. "But Texas was not our garden," Hammond said. "The hot winds blew each day the rainy season ruined our little crop the fruit and berries did not appear. Our money gave out. We both became ill. We got to our last dollar. Then we suffered.

The following dispatch from Wavurly describe-how W Mil ler, chairman ul the dmtncralic statu central coinmillci' has -nguin run amuck: "l'he long warfare of the local physicians by C. W. Miller, editor of the Demcc.-at, riau'ted in an oc currence last night that will be greatly deplored in this community. Aroused by an especially bitter attack on him in the last issue of the Democrat, and by an instilling remark addiessed to him on jh* street, l.l-. .J. J-'. Auner infomtd Air. Miller lo defend himself as he was in for a heating. Theie was a lively scrimmage in wliic'i Mr Miller was quite badly beaten up. Dr. Auner was injured also. Tbe combatants wero separated by by standers. Tlio persistent attacks ol Mr Miller on the Iccal physicians havo been deeply resented by them and their large circle of friends lor some time. It is certain that Waverly's physicians in ability and character are the peers of the best physicians in cities of similar size in the state, and their conduct has been no more worthy of scathing and tcurrilious criticisms than has the conduct of physicians of other localities. The malice with which Mr. Miller has taken advantage of his editorship of a newspaper to persecute them has been entirely unwarranted. It is to bo regretted, however, that the differences between Mi Miller aud the physicians resulted in a personal altercation between himself aud one of their number. It is reported that Mr. Miller has filed information against Dr. Auner, charging him with assault mid but tery. No arrest had been made when this dispatch was written." ihem transportation They tv» 11 leave Moines Ni^ws. replied, 'I want to go too.

Line In the Pacific Where It Shakes Hands With Yesterday. Most people who have read Jules Verne's "Around the World In Eighty Ua.vn" will remember how narrowly the traveler lulled his bet, having for gotten that In following the sun from east to west he had gained oue day. When one roesos the Atlantic from London to Xew York he gains rather more than half an hour eaeh day. From* New York, to Chicago another hour 1 gained, another to Denver, an other to San Francisco, which Is reck oning time eight hours later than Lou don and of course the best part of a day later than Shanghai and Yokoha ma. In crossing the l'acitle thero conies a time when the day beglus, where yesterday and tomorrow shake hatuls and where the traveler is* cheat ed out of a da.v in his life. Iu mid-l'acllie, going west, one skips from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east he has* one day of the week repeated two Sundays or Tuesdays, us the ease may be. The Hue of the ehauging day is not a straight one. The islands in the Pa cific take their time from the continent with which they trade aud from which they were discovered. Thus the Hue of the change zigzags dowu the Pa cific from south to north, dodging be tween the islands. Hence It might easily happen that a ship which has already skipped a day would reach an Island which clings to Sau Francisco time, lu such a case it would be Monday on shore aud Tues day on the ship. If the ship's Jolly boat were lying at a wharf, It would be Monday on tlie wharf aud Tuesday ou the boat. And If a persou lives somewhere near the line he caa get a sailboat aud visit yesterday and tomorrow lu the most delightful fashion. Child Management.

A traveler returned from Jaffsi tells Ibis tale ut his own ciipeuMf. ijaviug Journeyed to the historical seaport on Jii.s way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in hiring a conveyance to *:trrv him to the station. Hy speech aud gesture he informed the native driver that he wished to be carried in a leisurely, sightseeing fashion through as''many as possible of the principal thorough fares of Jaffa and lo be delivered at the terminal just time to take the outgoing train. He had no sooner seated hftURelf in the vehicle, however, than the driver whipped up his horse and whirled the dismayed traveler at a furious pace through all the dust and over nil the stoues of the notoriously rough streets of Jaffa. Tiie passenger was too busily employed hi saving his bMies to be able to see auythlng of the interesting towu. Arriving at the station, he found.that he. still had two hours to wait. "Why In the world," he demanded indignantly. :,did you ever hurry like thatr'. V* ... "You American," responded the driv er, with an expressive shrug. "All Amerlcau iike go very much fast."

Long Sentences. -/V Ruskin, it is said, has writteii more sentences of inordinate length than any other classic jvrlter of moderu English prose. Frederic Harrison some years ago counted the words in a num ber of typical sentences, llndlng that In the earlier books it was no uncommon thing for liuskhi to run beyond the page before permitting himself and his readers the relief of a full stop. But In every case the sense Is cleaf as day. Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable example of sustained connections. Apart from the opening and closing couplets the poem consists of two very long compound seutences almost en tirely comprised of adjwrtlval clauses. Tfcp longer of the two sentences con tains fifty-seven decasyllabic lines. This is probably a record iu English verse.—Argouaut. 7 The Retort Courteouc.
