IONGBEETS,

These results are mulch better than
could be expected, taking into consid-
Grafton that they Were not cultivated
for sugar, and perhaps the seed was of
inferior quality. Another singular
fact Is that The ill-grown, short, stubby
beets were the best. They were less in
sugar b"t contained less impurities
of which raised the co efficient Of purity
to 1G.6, Beets that give co-cflicicnt
of purity of - are profitable to work
into sugar. 1t must be owing to the
soil that made the short beets turn out
SO well, for the long bcets were better
cultivated From the result obtained
from these beets, you need have no
fears Of growing profitable beets for
sugar on your lands.
Yours Truly,

who was relating his story to the Judge.

one evening to this mans house and
asked for supper, horse-feed and lodg-
ing, all of which were cheerfully &C
corded, with true Southern hospitality.
After supper the stranger insulted the
mans wife, and Judge said he, |
stood that because he was my guest.
Then he wanted to kiss my daughter,
and chased her out into the kitchen and
then back again, and, Judge, stood
that, because he was under my roof and
had eaten salt at my table.
"'Then he ran out into the yard and
heaved a stone through the window,
and Judge, l stood that, because was

him, ''Now, see here, old fellow, Eve

through the window, but Pll overlook
all that because you are my guest, If
you'll only come into the house behave
yourself, and 90 to bed. Then I'll give
you a good breakfast and send you off

Out of Cotton.

Do any of you know what became of
the cotton that Gen. Jackson used for
breastworks at the battle of New
Orleans 2"
This inquiry was addressed by one of
New York's old merchants the other
evening to a company of friends, not
one of whom did know where that
famous cotton went.
cit formed the foundation of one of
New York's biggest fortunes" went on
the merchant. Thirty years OF 50 ago
ore of the millionaires of this town
was Stephen Whitney; miIlionaires
were scarce then, but Mr.. Whitney's
fortune was almost worthy of rank with
that of John Jacob Aston. Whitney
started out in life without much money,
but had made some progress when the
war of 1912 came. He was a cOnserva-
tive merchant, with a reputation for
carefully considering every enterprise
that he entered upon; and naturally,
therefore, lots of his friends were aston
ished when, at the close of the war, he
hurried down TO New Orleans and
bought the great piles of damaged
cotton that had stood between JaCkson's
soldiers and the British bullets The
bulk of his fortune went into the invest.
ment. He bought every scrap of it.
There were few people cognizant of this
action who did not believe that it would
prove disastrous, but Stephen Whitney
put the doubters quickly to rout. The
tons on tons of cotton he paid the gov
eminent two cents a pound for were
soon upon the market of Great Britain,
and thanks to the effect OF long con-
tinued embargo, netted him something
like fifty cents upon every pound.

A New Edition of Don't"
From the Youths Companion.l

Don't keep the sun out of your living
and sleeping rooms. Sunlight is abso-
lutely necessary for right condition of
the atmosphere that we breathe, and for
our bodily well-being.
Don't sleep in the same flannels that
you wear during the day.
Don't wear thin socks or light
shoes in cold or wet weather.
Don't catch cold. Catching cold is
much more preventable than is generally
supposed. A person in good physical
condition is not liable to colds and will
not fall victim to them unless he Is
grossly careless. Keep the feet warm
and dry, the head cool the bowels and
chest well protected; avoid exposure
with an empty stomach; take care not
to cool Off too rapidly when heated ;
keep out of draughts wear f1annels; and
with the exercise of little common
sense in various emergencies, colds will
be rare. If colds were 8 penal offense
we should soon find a way to prevent
them
Don't forget personal cleanliness, but
use the bath with moderation and in &C
cordance with your general health. The
daily cold bath is right enough with the
rugged, but it is a great tax upon the
vitality of persona not in the best of
health, and should be abandoned if the
results are not found to be favorable,
and the tepid water used instead, Each
man in these things should be judge
for himself; that which is excellent for
one is often hurtful for another.
Don't have much confidence in the
curative nature of drugs. Remember
that DR.. Good abits, DR.. Diet and DR..
Exercise are the best doctors in the

THE SLY WOODCHUCKS.
Gale NIarkIey Follows an Old Hunter and
Learns His Secret.

Sussex county, New Jersey, especially
in the neighborhood of Deckertown,
where the late Gen. Fitzpatrick had his
residence, is said to be overrun with
woodchacks or ground hogs to such an
extent that the farmers are seriously
discussing ways and means of eXtermi-
mating them. They have played havoc
with the corn and pumpkins, and now
that food is getting scarce, it is said that
many of the young wOOdchucks are dy.
ing of starvation. Ground hog meat is
regarded as better than rabbit or squirrel
meat, and plenty of men and boys are
hunting them with dogs and rifles or
shOtguns, but the willy little rodents are
as cunning as foxes, and they seldom
offer an opportunity for fair shot. 1t
is absolutely impossible to dig a wood
chuck out of his hoe, and he laughs at
any attempt to dislodge him with
smoke or sulphur fumes. When snugly
intrenched in his hole he will easily rout
any dog small enough to enter his front
door. A ferret must be very p!ucky to
attack him.
One hunter living near High Point
has had such extraordinary success in
killing woodchucks this fall, that his
neighbors have suspected him of using
some secret device for Turing the animals
from their holes. He was followed to a
well-known woodchuck hill last week
by Gale Markley, who discovered that
he used a stuffed woodchuck as a decoy.
Markley concealed himself in the bushes
and saw the old hunter place the ''stoot'
woodchuCk on its launches on an ex-
posed part of the hill and then retreat
to place from which he could cover
the whole face of the hill with his rife
Before many minutes a woodchuck
popped out Of one of the holes and
fearlesslv ran toward the decoy. The
rifle cracked and the woodchuck turned
a somersault and 1av kicking on the
gravel. Half an hour later the same
thing occurred again. Markley spoke
to the old hunter then, and compliment
ed him upon his scheme.
The old man said that a woodchuck
never came out of his hole or showed
the tip of his nose, until he had looked
out from the darkness and made sure
that the coast was clear. The stuffed
woodchuck, apparently on guard, gave
the other woodchucks confidence, and
they came out fearlessly. He had been
using the device for two seasons, and
nobody had ever caught hold of the
secret before ~ Y Sun.

Unmasking a ScOundreI.

The town of Lausanne, in the canton

An Invention That InVents. .
From the Chicago NALL


Some genius he's lately discovered a
little co trivance which, when attached
to scale such as is usually used by
grocers for weighing their heavier goods,
collects a nickel from everybody who
weighs himself thereon, and, it is said,
has sold his patent for half million
dol ars. The device is little more than
a simple coled spring concealed some
where in the box which incloses the
scale. You step on the platform. de
post a nickel in the slot prepared for
1t, and dial indicator in front of YOU
Immediately points to your weight. If
you put in more or less than a nickel the
Indicator does not move. 1t will not
bulge for dime or a penny, but pro
ceeds to business at once on receivino
nickel. 1t Is so cunningly contrived
that no more than one person can be
weighed for the same nickel, and no
scheme has vet been found to beat il
A company has been organized to uilI
the machines, and is putting them up in
hotel lobbIes, stores and other places
wherever the proprietor will give them
room for a share of the profits, and
sends its agents around bout once IN
two days to make collections The re
turns are said to average two dollars to
five dollars per day. and as the machines
do not cost to exceed fifty dollars, the
profits are handsome.

The Moon Hoax.

The famous moon hoax of 1885 was
only possible at time when sailing YES
sells only crossed the Atlantic The
discoveries announced were assumed to
have taken place at the Cape of Good
Hope, whence they came to the Azores,
and thence reshipped to this country.
This gave over six months time before
the contradiction could be made, and
as there was not much news in those
days the announcement produced pro
found sensation. Then Autographs were
published picturing the inhabitants OF
the moon. They were in every particu-
lar like ourselves excepting that they
had wings like those of the bat attached
to their arms, sides and lower limbs.
The scene was laid by a lunar lake
among luXuriant foliage and every sur
rounding of paradise. Some were re
Ginning among flowers or bOwer-like
groups of festooned foliage. others
walking about or bathing in the lake,
and many on the wing, going in differ
ent directions. A beautiful cascade
glistened through the trees, while birds
of gorgeous plumage made themselves
as much at home with the inhabitants
as New York sparrOws. These pictures
sold iar,and wide before the fraud was
discovered. The discoveries were at
tributed to Herschel's four-foot refec-
tors, and the strange part was that
astronomers were as much deceived as
others, when a comparison of the size
of the refectors -four feet, with the
human eye, would have demonstrated,
by ten minutes work, that objects so
small could by no possibility be visible
at such a distance.

Followed Her Husband.

A naval officer tells this touching
little story: u hen the order forbidding
wives of officers to follow their hus-
bands wos first issued, my friend had
just married lovely young lady, to
whom he was devotedly attached, as
she to him.
Before this order, when an officer was
attached to a foreign station as you
know, wives of officers would live at
some city where their husbands could
occasionally get a few days leave to see
them. When this order prohibiting
this came out, the officer whom l have
mentioned was ordered to a foreign
station. His wife wrote letter to the
Secretary of the Navy, saying that she
would follow her husband and closing
with the solemn words: "Whom God
has joined together, let no man put
asundtr"
she kept her word and followed her
husband. AS soon as she got to one
place he would be ordered to another,
and finally, worn out with the hal d
ships of travel in South America and
the hopelessness of her position, she
came back to the States to die. A
lovely and beautiful woman was killed :;
a mans heart was broken; but the
majesty of an order from the Secretary
was indicated.

TOO Chap.

1t was from Mr. James A. Dupee,
whose sudden and unexpected death a
few days since brought sorrow to the
wide circle of friends, that the Saun-
terer took one of his earliest lessons in
political economy some dozen years ago.
1t was at the Hamilton Mills, of which
Mr.. Dupee was treasurer. In the coal
sheds were some five thousand tons of
COAL which had been very recently put
in, and Mr.. Dupee called attention to
fact that it had cost, laid down, less
than $3.50 per ton. The Saunterer,
too quick, perhaps, to jump at cOnclu-
slons, spoke of this as matter of con
graduation. observing that SO great a
saving on such a stock of coal would
help materially toward dividend.
THAT Is one side of the story" said
Mr.. Dupee, 'but there is another. That
price for coal means low wages to the
miners, wages So low as to allow them
little beyond food and shelter. In good
times there is no better market for our
goods than the coal regions OF Pennsyl-
vania. This year we shall sell nothing
there. really wish the coal had cost
