How They Treated AIdrich.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich will probably
find, if he shall 90 over to Russia
again this summer that his name is on
the blacklist at the custom houses on
the frontiers, and that he can't get in,
according to the Philadelphia Record
His striking poem in the June Harper,
as the Little Father" expresses in its
few words the very feeling of the Rus
sian Liberals so perfectly that that
number of that magazine will 90 on
the Russian ''IndeX EXpurgatoris" as
soon as it shall arrive at st. Peters
burg.
Aldrich has been in Russia twice, and
wrote with accurate knowledge of the
state of affairs within its disconnected
borders. On his first visit he came
! within an ace of being arrested as a
suspect at the first custom house he
came to. After presenting his pass
port he was required to answer the
usual long list of questions as to his
occupation, religion, etc., and he hest
tated as to his occupation "Poet''
seemed very ambitious title, and oman
of letters" was very indefinite. Finally
he answered Journalist. In response
to another question he said he did not
know the Russian language. As he
stood there awaiting the decision of
officials upon his credentials he heard
one of them use the Russian word for
journalist, Russianized form of the
the French word, again and again,
and pointing to him. Realizing that
in calling himself a journalist he had
placed himself under suspicion, he ask
the interpreter to say that he was a
literary and not political journalist.
But this remark only famed the sus-
picion.
$50 you do understand Russian?"
said one of the officials.
''Oh, no." said Aldrich through the
interpreter, when the latter had inter-
preted the question:; "but your word
for journalist sounds so much like ours
that knew you were speaking of my
occupation"
With that the official poured forth
a whole torrent of Russian, looking
keenly at Aldrich the while. Aldrich
made no response. The official gazed
at him for full half minute, and then
told him that he was admitted and
could 90 on.
'What was he saying just now?"
asked Aldrich of the interpreter.
"He was cursing you and calling you
all kinds of Names" said the interpre-
ter, ''to see whether you are really ac-
quainted with Russian"
Fortunately the official had then dis
appeared.

A Useful Agent.

a well-known company in town sent
an agent down there to drum up busi-
ness and he collected about 1000 and
promptly put it into a poker game. II
followed the regular course. He di.
not pay it into the company and the
company and the affairs got much mix
ed up. They sent another man down
who settled up everything, squared off
the company down there, and put
things generally straight. Having
done this, and having little money Of
his own, he dropped into the same POI
ker game in which his predecessor had
lost his coin. He won. He kept win
ming and luck was evidently quite in
his favor. He stood $500 ahead, when
an old gambler, who was one of the
players, looked up and said
Say, that company's good compa-
ny. It's got pluck, and I'll give it my
business"

Care of Corn Fodder.
Prairie Farmer.

HFalrle Farther.
An easy way TO take care Of corn fod-
der, is to shock IN the field and put In
bundles, which are afterwards stacked.
Lay piece of Irvine on the ground of a
length to suit the size of the bundles you
propose making. Place an armful of
fodder on the twine and shuck out the
corn, which may be thrown into wagon.
Repeat this operation until you have a
bundle of the desired size, which tie
firmly. The bales from two to four
shocks can be piled tog ether until con-
venient time comes for hauling, or until
the first snow comes, when they may be
hauled to the stack on sleds. In piIing
in the field lay one bale on the ground
and put the others on crosswise. By u.s.
ing pitchfork to handle the bales, one
man can load with greater ease and rapid
ity than two in the old way, loose. In
stacking, the stacker takes the two bales
in his hand and sets them up perpendic-
ularly, building on each side of this row
until the desired size is obtained. Now
lay bales lengthwise on the top of the
upright ones to raise the shedding bales
to a half pitch, and if necessary the
stack can be covered with long slough hay
to sh d snow and rain. By this method
the fodder is kept straight, dry and con-
venient to feed. It is the most economi.
cal and best method of keeping fodder,
and saves cold fingers, time and labor in
feeding in the winter.
