Remained q bachelor.

President Buchanan's love story Is his.
.oric, and reads more like the conventional
novel Of fifty years ago than plain fact.
But II happened just as tragedies happen
every day that are many times stranger
than fiction. When no was poor young
lawyer he became engaged to Miss Colo.
man. who belonged to one OF tho richest,
staid.st and, It may be assumed, narrow
est-minded and most purblind families In
Philadelphia. The Colemans by no means
approved OF the match, but nevertheless
the young couple became engaged. Mr..
buchanan was then practising law In q
remote part Of Pennsylvania. AMI in those
days OF stage Goa ches aud saddlc-bags cor.
respondenco was liable to interruptions.
Miss Coleman's letters became irregular
and then stopped altogether. lie wrote
repeatedly, but got no reply. At last ho
determined TO 20 10 Philadelphia, but at
Lancaster the stage met with an acci-
dent and Mr.. Buchanan suffered broken
leg. He wrote again as soon as no was
able, and still heard nothing. Laid up In
-
phenomenal snow-storm, for six weeks,
ombittered him, and he wrote Miss Cole.
man letter OF fierce reproaches, and then
wrote no more. Now for Miss Colemnn's
part. Her eminently respectable family
from the beginning intercepted all Of her
letters AMI all OF Mr.. BuchAnan's. She
made all the appeals 10 Kim woman
could make, but she never had line from
him after he left Philadelphia, except that
last cutting lottcr-and ms, unfortunntely,it
contained nothing but his remuneration of
her, she could know nothing ofwhat had
preceded It. The emincntly respectable
family were satislei-tho match was
broken of by means that would have
landed them all in the penitentiary In these
days. A year or two afterward Mr.
Buchanan was In Philadelphia, anl ut
ball camo face 10 face with Miss Coleman.
Neither spoke. aud Mr.. Buchanan pal
marked attention 20 another girl
present. That night young friend
who was staying with Miss Coleman
said to her, while tho two girls wore
alone In their room: "Did you see Mr..
Buchanan's attentions 10 Miss - Now,
they might have been yours had YOU
recognized him." Miss Coleman began TO
sob violently. She would not be soothcl,
and her friend, becoming alarmed, called
the family. or what next happened two
accounts have been given: One was that
she had taken poison, and her suircrings
aiterward came from that-but those who
were near her said that she was simply
suffering from uncomfortable mental
anguish. Toward morning, when her
pulse hal got so low that II was scarcely
perccptible, and her nervous excitement
had changed into II profound stupor, tho
doctors were sent for. Bat she was past
help. They never reused her, anl she
died the next day of what the doctors
called nervous exhaustion, but which goes
by the name OF n broken heart. Then the
ruth came To MIR. Buchlnln's ears, md
from that day his bachelorhood was as.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.
A Pet Theory OF Agricultural Writers
Vigorously Assaulted.

Vigorously Assaulted.
A recent writer says: "Never above
ten-day's-old eggs should be used for
Matching, as the fertility is destroyed
by keeping beyond that time" Now,l
have had as vigorous n Matching. and
as numerous, from six-wceks-old eggs
as / have ever had from eggs

fertility, what are we to DO with a
self-sct HEMP ! have had self-set
hen hatch out nineteen chickens from
nineteen eggs, all strong and perfectly
healthy. The difference in the ages of
egg No. l and egg No. 10 must have
been at least twenty-four days. The
nineteen chickens were Matched In
deep, wet grass. have had (and who
has notD numerous matches in the
grass and other outside places, by hens
which stole their nests. as the saying
is, and they invariably had stronger,
larger and much more numerous
brood than any of all my numberless
settings. j have quite often had fifteen
and sixteen chicks thus Matched. This
would make eighteen or nineteen days
difference in the first and last egg.
Another erroneous opinion is that no
eggs should be left in the nest for an
other or the same hen to sit on while
again laying, as they are not likely TO
hatch. refer readers to the sclf-set
hen again as evidence. How does it
happen that self-set hens always bring

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Tho best bred stock cost tho most
money. but its produce brings q great
deal moro than the produce Of that
which Is badly bred.
Trees In q cultivated field arc
troublesome, but where they are not
numerous they add enough to the

Fanny Field SAYS. In tho Proine

any mixture OF grease aud sulphur. on

The heifer should be trained from

There are many waste corners

COUGHING HOGS.
An Affection Due In Most Cases to Damp,
Cold and FILTHY Pens.


Cold and FILTHY Pens.
A cough. in man or beast, is always
an unpleasant affair. 1t may result
from some temporary local irritation.
or it may be the symptom Of something
far deeper and more lasting. In any
event, it indicates irritation in the
throat or bronchial tubes, and perhaps
in both. 1t may come. sympathetical-
ly. from sope arrangement OF the
stomach. Possibly 1t Is the result OF n
cold. but no matter, what the cause. 1t
is safe to investigate the symptom and
apply remedy.
When a hog coughs, 1t Is n symptom
having the same significance that it has
among human beings. Sec if a hog
has u dry. well-ventilated and whole
some bed to sleep on. II the pen is
damp and cold, or is filthy or musty;
II the straw is rotten, moldy, dirty

food out of this disgusting and strong
smelling mass; in short II every thing

broken tree in the middle OF the creek.
The young man caught the lady as the

root OF the tee there was sufficient
foothold for tho young man to
stand, so that the water only came up to
his arm pits, but on either side of him 10

for him TO venture To reach the shore. Ito
held the young lady in his arms for two
hours before they were discovered. Tho
position was made moro unplensantby tho

rier, who bought the furniture, will testify
this morning that Horton did not sell

Mrs. Horton sold it to him. Mrs. Horton is
| a minor. VIM. Alden, of Bradley street. is

to show that he purchased the furniture and
paid for it as her guardian, consequently
Horton could not very well be the principal
to either mortgaging or selling it, even if he
had been in town when it was sold. Hor-
Healey should have caused his arrest without

Their Designs and Values Fixed by the
Citizens Committee.

Their Designs and Values Fixed by the
Citizenss Committee.
NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. 24.-The citizens
yacht committee to-day fixed the designs and
values of the cups won in Saturdays races.
The cup designed by Howard & Co. of New
York was selected for the Gitana as winner
in the frst-class schooner class. Its value
will be $500. The Mayfower, winner of the
frst-class sloops, will receive cup of like
value designed by the Gorham company of
Providence. There is a possibility of the
cups being awarded in reverse order to the
above, the Howard design going to the May
flower and the Gorham to the Gitana, but the
first arrangement will more likely be adhered
to. The Gorham design, value $3.50, was
selected for the Stranger, which won in
the second class contest. This design Is
very like that of the second prize Goelet
cups. The third class sloop prize for the
Clara will be cup designed by Tiffany and
valued at 1926 The letter of the New York
Yacht club committee explaining why the
third class sloop prize was given to the
Clara instead of to the Cinderella was read.
The committee say they were informed by
the owner of the Cinderella, MI Elslen, that
there was no representative OF the CLUB
aboard during the race, as required by the
rules, and he did not consider himself en-
titled to the cup; they therefore awarded 1t
to the Clara
