SO much for the historical interest of
Argues Mortes, where in a dirty little
inn, ill-kept by friendly, simple people,

that [ was drawn to visit the city by an
interest still more romantic. For it was
at Argues MOrtes that Pierre de Provence
landed after his oriental romantic. For
ii was on an island near it that the fair
| Maguelonne founded her hospital for
pilgrims and wayfarers.
Perhaps you do not remember the de-
| tails of the charming story Of {" Pierre
de Provence ct de la Belle Maguelonne 2"
1t was a favorite history IN the twelfth
! century. This romance was turned into
verse in 117S, by Baynard de Trivies,
canon of Maguelonne, and 1t is said that
it was one of the first books that Petrarch
read when he came TO AvIgnon, and that
he attempted to perfect it.
The story is, in brief, this: Pierre was
the son of Jean de Provence and his
lovely wife, the daughter of Don Al
wares. Count of Barcelona. He had
considerable fortune, and the right to
! reign sovereign of the Comtal, but he
| preferred peace to glory, and did not dis
| pute the title with his usurping brother,
/ but lived with more content at CavaillOn,
! with his beautiful and yirtuous wife, than
! If he had possessed the empire of the
| world. Pierre was their only child. He
was most carefully educated, trained to
! all exercises in arms as well as letters;
/ modest, virtuous, handsome. No one
/ could excel him in the pastimes of chiv-
I airy: he could turn neater verse than

horsed and conquered all the knights
that came from all Europe to his
/ fathers tournaments. Before he was OF
age he had the renown of an unconquer-
able knight. Attractive as he was in
1 person, he was a stranger to the passion
of love, and loved then, and all his life,
virtue more than galantry.
One day at his fathers table some gal
liant knights whom he had overthrow
in the lists spoke much of the court OF
the King of Naples, and of the exquisite
beauty of Maguelonne, the daughter OF
the king. Pierre was suddenly 1nt1amed
with the desire of seeing her and playing
a knights part in the Journeys of such 8
court. With difficulty he obtained per,
mission of his parents to go In search Of
adventures. When he departed his IN
consolable mother presented HIM with
three precious rings. With a small fol
lowing of servants, he reached Naples,
where he took retired lodgings and re

PITTSBURGH, July ct is reported here
that the mill Of T. A. Watson s. Co., at Pom
eroy, o., have signed the 1928 per ton scale,
which is Is cents over the Pittsburgh scale.
Secretary Weeks, OF the Irou association, is
out of town, and nothing could be learned
from that source as to the truth or falsity OF
the report. Secretary Martin, of the Anal
gaTsted association, said he had no doubt but
that it was true. He said Pomeroy was in
the wheeling district and that IS Is would lie
the correct rate. lie had heard nothing Off
cially, but he believed the scale had been sigued
there and drew therefrom good augury for
the success OF the strike in Pittsburgh. The
scale was signed ataLeechburg for the second
time yesterday. 1t was signed before, but
some hitch occurred and the men who went
to work on it at the time suspended opera
tions. The scale as signed is supposed to be
entirely satisfactory to all parties.
A South side iron worker who has been
employed at the old Wharton
mill, lately operated by the National
tube works, said to-day that the manager had
informed some of the men that the scale
would be signed and will go into operation
next Monday. None of the firm could be seen
to-day, but an attachc placed no reliance in the
story.

He was romantic youth, and when he
heard of the sweet old custom of hang
ing May baskets he grappled the idea as
the noble red man grapples the vulgar
demijohn. In the dusky gloom Of the
evening he slid beneath the window of
his best girl and neatly attached to the
door-bell gorgeous compound of tissue
paper and taffy, warranted to melt the
stOutcst heart. Then he just raised his
mothers wooden pestle and hit that
door sonorous knock that would
have brought the dullest maiden
to her feet, but unfortunately the
house was built by contract, and
that pestle flew through that panel like a
fall in Western Union, and before that
young man could slip through the picket
fence her father had lodged about seven
teen bird-shot in his anatomy and his
pancake hat was soaked with water. A
nervous old gentleman who lived next
door had played on him with fire ex-

peared just as the excitement began to

Stacking Clover.

Cor. Farm and FSreside;, I'm stacking
clover, if convenient, the bottom
of the stack should be covered
with old hay or straw about a
foot deep, to keep the clover from
gathering dampness from the ground, as
it surely will, often spelling couple of
feet Of the bottom of the stack. The
top should be of old hay also, as clover
does not turn ram, and the stack will be
very much damaged If not well protected
on the top The shape of a stack of
clover, or indeed, any other crop, has
much to do with keeping it from dam
age. Many farmers make
stack regular cone from
bottom to top. A stack to be properly
made should be egg-shaped, whether bot
tom is large or small size. The bulge in
the stack should be about six feet from
the bottom and tapcred regularly to the
top, and be about sixteen feet high. II
thus made the lower part of the bulk of
the stack is protected by the bulge or the
wide part. After finishing, rake down
well, and a stack, if properly and
solidly put up, will keep good for two or
three years. But, after all, it is best to
have barn to secure all crops. A cone
shaped stack is exposed from pit to dome
to destruction, and often is nearly or
quite ruined if long left to the elements.

Increasing Cane acreage.

Farmers MIMI Union: We learn from
all over the state that there is a good
deal larger breadth of land planted to
sugar cane this season than there was
last. One gentleman in Renville county,
who had large crop year before last,
did not plant any the past season. Ha
thought he could make more money with
some other crop, but after trying it on,
he found more money in cane, and this
year he doubled the acreage. From all
we can learn most of those who have
raised it before have planted it again
this year.

boston Special to Chicago TribuHe.]
Astatement has been printed in nearly
every paper in the country that Gen.
William Raymond Lee, of Boston, has
now in his possession the piece of paper
marked "Death,'' which he drew when
the selection of prisoners of war at Rich
mond to be held as hostages for certain
confederate naval officers convicted of
piracy was made. Gen. Lee writes to the
Adoertisr that this is fiction so far as the
"Death'' is concerned, and he
is at a loss to understand how the story
in this form came to be circulated
He gives the following narrative of
the circumstances: On the 10th of No
vember, 1861, Gen. Winder with his staff
visited the officers prison and read to the
prisoners an order from Benjamin, the
confederate states secretary Of war, di-
recting the selection of seven officers of
highest rank to be held as hostages for
the officers and crew of the letter Of
marque Lady jeff Davis, who had been
convicted of piracy in United States
court. Those selected were to be con-
fined in q cell of the common Jail, and to
be executed if the officers of the privateer
were executed by the United States gov
eminent. Slips of paper containing the
names of all the officers were placed in a
tin tobacco box, and the fatal names were
drawn from the box, on command of
Gen. Winderf by Congressman Ely,
who was captured at the last battle of
Bull Run and was confined with the
Union officers. Gen. Lee then Col. Lee)
was one of the "elected,' and the slip
of paper drawn from the box designat-
ing him had on 1t only the words "Col.
Lee" The fate of the officers selected
was not then determined, being contin-
gent upon the action of the United States
authorities with regard to the convicted
people of the Lady jeff Davis. This slip
of paper with the name upon it was Civ
en- to Col. Lee, who Endorsed upon the
back of it that it was the ballot he drew
in tbs lottery of life and death,
and put it in a letter to his family.
which wassallowed to be forwarded on
the 18th of November. The officers
designated as hostages were removed to
the county Jail, where they were detained
about three months under rather dis
agreeable conditions. About the middle
of February, 1862, the confederate states
government having received information
that the Lady jeff. Davis people had been
remanded as prisoners of war, the hos
tages were transferred from the jail to
the prison assigned to prisoners of war,
and on The I'D of that month they were
put on board flag truce boat to be
transferred to United States steamer in
neutral waters.
