Trick of a Newspaper Correspondent.

Trick of Newspaper Correspondent.
The devices of newspaper CORE
spendents at Washington to obtain
the news are often ingenious and
sometimes dishonest. Back of the
house and senate galleries there are
large rooms with tables for writing
and telegraphic facilities for sending
dispatches. The correspondents do
much Of their writing at these ia
bles, and one of them, who had been
il telegrapher, set and listened to the
news of his competitors as 1t went
clicking over the wires. The strik.
ing similarity of his dispatches to
those CT other correspondents soon
exposed the trick, and u change was
made TO thwart him. This lazy but
smart correspondent, however, got
the news, and his opponents were at
Il loss for long time to find out how
he did so. They finally set watch
upon him and found that he was in
the habit of going up over the house
where the telegraph wires ran. He
had fine sense of touch, and was so
good telegrapher that lie could
read what was going over the wires
by wetting his fingers and placing
them upon them.

STORY.
ONE NIGHT IN KANSAS.
STORY.

There's the shotgun, Molly, and here's
my revolver. Both loaded" yes, Tom."
"Now, mind, child, there isn't one chance
in ten thousand that there will be soul
near you If thought there was, Molly,
wouldnt leave you. You understand
that?"
Eyes, Tom"
IF any one does come, it will be q
neighbor or a neighbor's boy. The band
its and desperadoes have all joined trav-
cling shows. If you don't 60 soaring
yourself to death, you will be all right. I"
yes, Tom" z~
But there's a lot of moral support in
a shooting-iron, and maybe you'll feel a
little safer with these"
He stopped to kiss her, feeling her lips
tremble little as he touched them. But
she smiled as she raised her head, and
her goodbye was quite steady.
"Plucky little thing" he said to him
self, as he rode down the trail at long,
swinging lope.
At IA Mary Allison's mother died.
Then her father, with broken health and
spirits, gathered up the wreck of his
fortunes and went away to the green
wilderness of Kansas ranch, leaving
the girl in an eastern school. Toms col
lege course being at an end, he went with
his father, and presently found himself
making profitable business of sheep to
the remembered rhythm of Greek and
Latin classics. When, four years later,
Miss Allison had been properly gradu-
ated with much ceremony and white
muslin, her father, too, had Joined the
ma ority," and she found Tom living in
precarious fashion at the hands of a
native housekeeper, and enthusiastically
glad to welcome even this very inexper-
fenced head to his small household.
That was in July, and on that radiant
September afternoon Tom found himself
imperatively called to the nearest town,
twenty miles away. The woman who
ruled the; kitchen had taken herself over
the creek to visit her kinfolks," and the
herders were all at the ends of the earth
with their focks when Tom sank out of
sight behind the low prairie swells. Miss
Allison had the whole green world to
herself as far as she could see. ..ss
The simply-built house had the New
England requisite of space within, and
the southwestern necessity of deep
porches without. somehow the empty
rooms had all kinds of echoes inhabiting
them, now that the exercising, manly
presence was removed. Miss Allison
made her afternoon toilet, and took her
sewing machine and work basket out to
shady corner.
1t was easier to dream than to sew.
Truth to tell. Miss Allison had no special

AGRICULTURAL.
Grass For Pigs.


In some cases il is net convenient
to pasture pigs under such eircum-
stances, they may be kept healthy by
feeding succulent grass in pen,
with a yard for exercise. If grass
in the most suculeat condition is
given, rs per cent. may be deducted
from our figures. A pig will get a
large part of its living upon nutri.
tious grass for several months, but
if confined wholly to grass will
grow too slowly, and will not ma
ture rs early as desired. and if the
pig is to be kept several months
longer to mature, nothing, is to be
gained by the grass, as its sappy
growth must he ripened en- grain,
and it oft:ns takes more grain than
to have rirened it when the grass
was fed. One error often made by
pig-feeders is, in counting the value
of growth made upon grass alone as
equal to growth made upon grain,
or grass and grain together. When
pigs are pastured upon COED grass,
and fed small amount of grain at
the same time, the growth made is
ripened as fast as made, and if the
pigs were sold directly from the
pasture, would not shrink as in the
other case. When pigs have been
fed for some months upon grass
alone. and are taken from the pas
ture 10 fatten, it is often found that
they will not gain in weight ON
grain feeding for several weeks,
because the grain is all used to ripen
the sappy growth upon grass; there
fore pigs should always be fed
grain grass.-NationaI Line Stock

Magnetised Corset Steels.

A young woman of Columbus, Ga,
about to visit the generating station
of the electric light company, was
told to leave her watch at home, lest
it be magnetized by the strong elec-
trio current. She did so, but COM
planned afterward that her watch
would not keep good time. Still,
whenever she carried it her time was
too slow, although when she left 1t
in her room it ran correctly. A gen.
tleman who, knew OF the circum-
stances sugg, sted to the yonng lady
that she wear another pair of corsets
when she next carried the watch.
She did SO, and had no further
trouble with the watch. The steel
strings In her corset had been mag
netized.

Those farmers who commenced
last fall to stall feed beef in Mime
sofa, will he likely to realize a pref
ty good price for it before the pas
lures are ft to be used this late
spring. The Kansas and Montana
men cannot compete in the spring
with Minnesota beef, because they
have to wait'until their stock takes on
flesh before it is at for market. 1t
requires considerable time after the
ranges have produced an abundant
pasturage for their beef cattle to re-
cuperate from the hard winter fare.
