between Friends.

"Oh. Selim, you gave me a glorious ride
Neck by neck-close to starlight-you kept side
And the words that Jack whispered you
couldn't but hear,
For say your eye wink and You pricked up
one ear,
And when he leaned over and kissed me, hid /;
For knew yon were peeping-yes, Selim, you
did
Now answer me, selim, was that only mans
way
And Selim replied with comforting neigh.
MAMA tries forever to make me believe
That man Is a monster who lives to deceive
That far from the eye meaneth far from
the heart
Where IT'S easy 70 love that tbs easy to part
Do you think Jack loves me?-you heard what
he swore-
Is it true I'm an angelo He vowed so-and
more
Speak Selim, you know mems queer custsms
and ways"
, And selim responded with two distinct
neighs.
20 selim, you're wrong Sure you misunder-
My Jack is too truthful too noble and good
I've known him, you know, for three weeks
and day
Hark! III ask you the question different

And they never forsake the poor girls whom they

Rye as a Green Manure.

Many farmers are letting their sons
use portion of the farm for growing
small fruit or vegetables. Such land as
these young men usually have to work
is very far from being in the condition
of soil occupied for some years as a
market garden and needs more manure
than the farm can spare. In such cases
we have witnessed the effect of turning
under heavy crop of rye. The land is
rather too stiff for working early in the
spring. If worked before it is quite
dry it is apt to bake.
After crop of potatoes was taken
off such piece of land, rye was sown
the last of August. The next spring
in May, an immense mass of green rye
as high as the horses backs was care
nicely, but the effect ON the crop was
not as beneficial as the gardner ex-
pected. But the following spring, in
blowing up the land, he was surprised
and delighted to find the soil in such q
mellow condition. The pillow turned
up great mass of decayed rye that
looked like manure and had all the eff
feet of manure, any rate so far as the
mechanical condition of the soil was
concerned. BY the aid of a few
hundred pounds Of commercial fcrtili-
yer per acre, he obtained as good crops
on this land as he would have had from
an application of heavy dressing of
stable manure. He thinks he has SOL
we'd the question of how to carry on q
farm-garden situated too far to draw
manure from town. In other words,
pillow under rye and use commercial
fertilizer
There are other crops equally good
and some better for this purpose, but
rye is very convenient, as is can be
sown any time plot of land happenes
to be observation-disclosures toDecember
In August three peck to the bushel of
seed per acre is sufficient on good
mellow land, but later it is better to
sow thicker, say one and one-half to
two bushels per acre.
There is one pleasant feature Of this
method that commends it to all who
love TO see neat, well-tilled farm.
Instead of the land being covered with
old potatoe vines, or rubbish or weeds,
you have q fine. dark-green luxuriant
crop growing all through the fall,
winter and early spring months. lffor
nothing else, it pays to sow rye for
looks. = Anlerscan Agricultarjst for

A Map Necessary.

| A queer case of mixed relationship
exists in the family of Charles G. Hop
kins, whose present residence is 1905
Wash street. Several years ago Hon
kins married Mrs. Hamilton, who bore
him son, now about years old :.
Later on the couple became divorced,
and in year or so Hopkins married
his divorced wife's daughter by q
former husband. A son was the fruit
of this union also, the child now being
years old. Some time after her d.
vorce from Hopkins, and the latter S
marriage to Miss Hamilton, Mrs. Ham,
| ilton became so far reconciled to her
ex-husband and then son-in-law that
she brought her son Roy, and came to
reside under the same roof with him.
The new wife took on the duties of
stepmother in addition to her former
slsterly care of the older boys and in
due time after the birth of her own son
Reggie, sent the half-brothers, who
were also uncle and nephew by virtue
of their mothers former relationship to
Hopkins, out to play together Hop,
kIns, it will be observed is brother-in-
law to his own son, because the mother
OF the youth is his mother-in-law. Miss
Hamilton, as the stepdaughter to Hop
kins, was sister to her mothers son, of
whom she is now mother, and also
aunt, because he is her brother-in- law s
son. Hopkins is Roy's brother-in law,
as we'll as his father. because Hopkins
married Roy's (halDsister Reggie
and his mother are nephew and aunt
by virtue of the former relationship Of
Hopkins and Miss Hamilton as brother

John Anderson, of Johnstown, Neb.,
was down in 140-foot well engaged in
repairing it, the side fell in, burying
him alive. The only means of rescue
was TO dig new well within four feet

take Anderson out, That part of the
work, after many obstacles and setbacks,
is nearly finished. The rescuers are
near enough to Anderson to know that
he is alive, and they are able to hold

was lined with wooden coping When

There is great excitement in the oil
regions near Pittsburgh, Pa. over
the revival of the Pithole oil field Pit
hole has, for nearly quarter of a cen
tury, been considered 'sucked orange"
and the oil right Of 100000 acres
around the old town would not have
brought 500. Now the excitement is
greater there than in any other field in
the region, not excepting Bakerstown.
Black Brothers have been pushing the
drill around Pleasantyille so successfully
/ that they have been encouraged to test
the old Pithole region, and the result is
one of tie surprising things of the oil
region. In this old aud long since
abandoned territory they now have
seven wells that are good for 6,000 bar
rels a month There is some difference
of opinion regarding the sand, but it is
probably a lower horizon than the rich
sand of 1865 that made Pithole the most
famous city IN the world and gave it 4
population of $4,000 to 10000 in few
months. Great activity is reported
in the field among lease hunters, and a
large production in this old field is ex-
pected within the next few months
