the more he thought and the more he

WINGED that the man was a fraud, Mr..
Forbes had place of business on
Main street, which was passed some
squares before we reached the Den
Aison house. He asked to be excused
as we passed his place of business, as
something required his attention, and
he slipped out. Crossing fifth street,
the second member of the committee
asked to be excused, as he wanted to

he left. The gentleman from Indian
ia was left alone with the doubtful
raan in charge, but determined to see
the denouement. Arrived at the no.
tel, the man stepped to the hotel regi-
ster and wrote his name. That dis
PEELED all doubts. No other
man in America could write that
signature. 1t was a revelation which
relieved the writer hereof of all doubt
or uncertainty. 1t wigs the vertiable

covery was SO marked by extravagant
congratulations over his arrival That
he noticed it and spoke of it after

came together they acknowledged
that they had purposely slippen so as
not kto be present at the hotel, when
the tramp on getting out of the coach
would probably blow on US. After
that knew Horace Greeley.

The Care of Early Lam bs.

The first lamb of the season will be
likely to appear about this time, and
to careful shepherd this is a matter
of anxiety. The new born lamb is a
weak thing, and the eve is at times
not nearly so motherly as she should
be; consequently the young thing is
in danger of being lost unless care is
given to it. Chilling is the greatest
danger. If kept warm, the lamb can
do very well without nourishment for
a few hours, and a little warmed,
fresh cows milk, give with teaspoon
will strengthen it until it can be re-
turned to the eve and hel ped to suck,
after which it will be able to take care
of itself.
The Scotch shepherd, whose flock
ranges the exposed mountain pastures
keeps fire in his hut and a warm
blanket in which to nestle the lambs
which are dropped in stormy weather.
After battling successfully with its
proverbial adversely for twenty-four
hours, the lamb is usually past danger
If ordinary care is exercised 10 avoid
accidents.
The profit to be derived from early
lambs which can be made ready for
the market by April or May, should
be an incentive, both TO keep a small
flock, and to care for it IN the best
manner. The flock should be an an
mex to every farm; it costs little to
feed, and the care of it comes mostly
at a season when there is leasure to
give it. There is 40 reason why the
farmer WHO will go to the cost of pro-
viding warm poultry house with a
front of wide sash open to the south
to receive the sun should not do as
much for his flock, and have a shed
thus provided for the ewes with early
lambs to shelter in for a day or two.
After that period is over the protection
will not be needed. 1t would be nee
essary to protect the sash inside with
bars to prevent the ewes from break
ing the glass. A sort of artificial
mother, too, might equally well be
provided for the lambs as for the less
valuable chickens.

Our Whole Duty.
Journal Agriculture.

1t may be regarded as almost eff ront-
cry to advise farmers to do better
farming as means of bringing them
out of their present straitened circum.
stances, whe each one one knows
sor himself that the principal cause
OF the hard times les in the manipu
ton of other men, and yet tkere is
sense IN advising better work on the
sarm. There is no lack of informa-
ton as to the real guilty parties, and
eXhortions upon now to correct the
evils and punish The offenders. We
are doing our share in that direction.
but we must not lose sight of the fact
that. should every political wrong be
righted in a day, there still remains
the battle of life on the farm. Crops
must be made and marked, cattle and
hogs must be raised and sold, and the
farmers family must be fed and cloth
ed.
We cannot make the markets bet
ter or worse, but we can take our
place in the ranks as farmers and
hold it, and thus to very great ex-
tent govern the price of our own pro-
ducts Ii one man takes to the mar
ket wheat that is full of chaf and
dirt, receiving 4 or cents below the
market price, we can make ours clean
and plump by good cultivation and
good handling and thus get the best
the market affords. While some
men are devoting four years of time
and large amount of feed to the
growth of a steer that can at best
only weigh 1900, and with good care,
make steer of superior bread weigh
1, 400 pounds in two years we are get
ting the very best out of the market
there Is IN 1t. We are fixing our own
position and if products are low we
are at the head of the list in prices. If
our fruits, grain, stock and butter are
of the best We not only get the best
prices but find ready sale, while the
poor articles only sells when scarce,
and then at an inferior price. When
the market is more than supplied the
good articles is chosen even at higher
price.
There was time when there was
possibility for slip saod farmer keep
ing his head above the water; that
time is now past. The world is awake.
competition IS keen; IL one man won't
supply the bes. butter to customer
another will, and if one man won't
pay the very best price for a good
article another will. There is mo-
nopoly all round except ia the work
of the farm; there every man is for
himself, and the one that Iags behind
is sure to have hard time of it. We
mus! neither give ourselves blindly TO
crop raising, allowing polititions to
swamp the Government, nor must we
devote our whole time to politics and
neglect the farm. The farmers have
time and intelligence enough to attend
to both at the proper time and in the
proper way. Will they do it,

Beautiful Hands.

The hands are prone to become
rough and chauped in cold weather.
says the New York 'Commercisl Ad-
verhser. IT the water Is hard it is
almost impossible to prevent the
cracking of the skin, but a little borsx
mixed with the water will soften it
and prove beneficial. The skin of
many persons is so thin and sensitive
that 1t cannot bear the alksi of soap,
and in such cases almond bran, which
can be procured at the druggists. will
be found agreeable. The hands should
be moistened and the bran rubbed
over them as if it were soap. Ii
cleanses and renders the skin soft.
Almond cream is a preventive of
chapping. 1t should be bought in
small quantities and kept securely Gov
cred, as exposure to the air discolors
and dries it. Glycerine applied to the
hands when moist. and thoroughly
rubbed in, also has softening effect.
1t is said to darken the hands if used
constantly. IT the hands become
rough with the first approach of cold
weather, it is absolutely necessary to
wear gloves at night. The gloves
should be very large and long enough
to cover the wrists. Some persons
prefer feecy-lined gloves. others

this Is not to be recommended, as

water, the individual must decide
which is preferable. The hands always

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
BY THE FIRE.
FROM ALL THE YEAR ROUND,

She sat and unused by the driftwood fire,
AS the ieaping flames flashed higher and higher
And the panthoms of youth. as fair and bright
Grew for her gaze in the rudy light;
The blossoms she gathered in life's young days
Wreathed and waved in the Pickering blaze;
And she laughed through sunny mist of tears
Ihat rose at the dream of her April years;
And ever and aye the sudden rain
Flashed on the glittering wihdow-pane.
Sobered and saddened the pictures that showed
AS the drift-wood logs to red core glewed;
And the fancied figures of olden time
Passed with the steadied step of their prime;
The daisies and snowdrops bloomed and died
Red roses and lilies stood side by side;
While richer and fuller and deeper grew
The lines of the pictures August drew,
And ever and aye the falling rain
Streamed thick and fast on the window-pane
The driftwood died down into feathery ash
Where family and fifty shone the flash:
Slowly and sadly her pulses beat
And soft was the fall, as of vanuuishing feet:
And lush and green as from guarded grave,
She saw the grass of the valley wave
And like echoes in ruins seemed to sigh
The wet west wind that went wandering by:
And caught the sweep of the sulen rain.
And dashed it against the window-pane

Complicated Opening OF a Romance.

About two years before the war,
near pretty and substantial residence
near a prosperous little town, a beau
tiful young lady about IA, was sleep.
ing a hammock swung from two
stately oaks in grove, She was a
pretty picture of innocence and grace,
and won the admiration of the pass
ers. In a meadow to the rear fat,
meek-eyed COW reclined in the shade,
Illuminating the food she had gathered
in the cool of the morning. Bat what
has TIE COW to do with the sleeping
girl2 is propounded, well, wait and
see. Across the road from the house,
the girl and, cow is a meadow, a
branch running through, and coming
I'D the branch is boy with a gun.
When within 100 yards of the girl,
and $50 yards of the cow, a bird few
up and sailed in the air toward the
COW: the boy fred at the bird which
flew on unhurt, but the COW received
a pretty strong dose of shot. She i'm
mediately arose in fright, dashed
tarouga the grove, caught the girl
and hammock on her horns, and
rushed with her shriek1ng victim
about the lot. The terrified girl be-
came silent, and the crowd of relatives
and friends In pursuit thought that
she was dead. The wild fury of the
cow as she rushed around soon tore
the netting loose, and the girl dropped
unconscieusly to the ground uDhurt,
She was picked up and on examina-
ton only few minor bruises were
found. The boy, thinking he was the
innocent cause of the killing of the
young girl, disappeared. All trace
of him vanished. 1t was thought
that he had persisted by his own hand;
but about six years after the war
vel-stained stranger was in the
town inquiring for persons, most of
whom had been swept away by the
war. After long search the stranger
found man on load of wood, and
in conversation with him learned
where one of the parties he was In
search of lived, a few miles out of
town. He went there, made himself
known, and turned out to be the boy
of the gun. The people he found
were father and mother, who had
mourned him dead for eight years.
The boy had been in South America,
got rich, and, yearning for the love
of the old folks, returned TO the desc
lated home of his childhood, and
m AIDE his loved ones comfortable. For
the first time then, hearing that the
girl was uninjured, he called on her,
found her pretty, good, and = first
class home woman. He put in with
a 1ill, got her heart - his own, and
the old folks consent, and has been
fer the last twelve or fourteen years
one of the leading men of his section.
This is fact.

HORACE TAKEN FOR A TRAMP,
Mr. Greeiey's Reception at Cincinnati
by Puzzled Committee
Des Moines Register

The first time l ever met Horace
Greeley, writes G. L. Clarkson TO the
Register, was on the 18th day of May,
1S49. The National division of the
Sons of Temperance that year met in
Cincinnati. The committee of ar
rangements appointed at the session of
the previous year at Baltimore to pre-
pare for the meeting at Cincinnati de-
termined to have public address and
street parade of the order in full
regalia.
The committee he'd selected Horace
Greeley to deliver the annual public
address. He was to arrive at Cincin-
nati the second day of the session.
The National division appointed a
committee of three to proceed to the
station of the Little Miami railroad
(then away above the city, with
coach, to conduct Mr.. Graeley to the
Denison house. That committee con-
sisted of J. NJ. Forbes, of Ohio, G. F.
C.arkson, of Indiana, and, 1 think,
Nathaniel Wilson, of Maine. Neither
of the committee had ever seen Mr..
Greeley, but they proceeded to the
railroad, arriving there before the
train, and stationed themselves at the
various points so as to be certain of
discovering the distinguished guest.
The train arrived. The number of
passengers was few, and as they came
out of the car las there was only one)
were carefully inspected. There was
evidently no Greeley aboard. The con-
ductor was soon interviewed. He did
not know of any such character on
his train. a merchant of Cincinnati
WAS on the train with his family, who
was well known by Mr.. Forbes, one
OF the committee. He was interview
ed. He said it was not possible that
Mr.. Greeley came on TIE train, as he
had talked to all but one or two per-
sons, who, from their dress and man
ners, did not appear to seek the soci-
ability of any one.
The committee retired from the car,
but one of them discovered on the
rear platform a person whom he con-
sidered the brakeman. He was asked
if he hsd heard of Mr.. Greeley on
the train. 1t took some time to en-
list his attention. as he was intently
gazing toward Kentucky, probably
looking for slaves fleeing from bond
age. When his attention was arous-
ed he informed us that he supposed
he was the man we were looking for.
He had on his old SLOUGH nat and
long dnb evercoat, though when the
weather was warm enough to be in
shirt sleeves. As 1t after ward WAS as
certained, each member of the COM
mittee had secret doubts of it being
Greeley, but he was placed in q coach
and the committee got in and drove
for, the city. Very little was

and touchy in his manner. The
