pay, is because they refuse to believe that
there is any study and investigation
needed IN regard to the care, treatment
and management CT the dairy. If they
chance on a success they call 1t luck, and
if they fail they never investigate the
matter to see wherein they fail, so as to
steer clear of repetition.
If the ground is damp a one horse
pillow should be run through the spaces
between the strawberry rows in order to
allow the surplus water to flow off in the
winter. Strawberries are partial to some
what damp locations, but in the winter
and early spring, when heavy rains cause
the water to stand on the plants, it is in
furious. The frost will also heave up the
plants If the ground is too wet.
The better the preparation of the soil
the less seed will be required. Many fail
ures in the seed are not due so much TO
lack of unfavorable condition of the
ground. 1t is always matter of chance
termination when seed is broadcasted
and left to be covered by the washing of
the rain, and the harder and frmer the
seed-bed the greater the difficulty in Sc
curing crop from the seed. Pulverize
the soil, harrow it down as fine as possible
and then brush the seed in.

who are dashing to the rescue. Why-the
whole ridge seemed suddenly to bristle
with red and feathered warriors, whirlinQ
yelling, raging down to annihilate the lit
tie band of white men who had dared at
tack their advance. Bill is of his horse
il an instant; kneels; takes deliberate
aim; the flame juts from the muzzle Of
his rifle, and with wild cry the Chey-
epne pitches headforemost upon the
sward with a bullet through his brain.
Then there are shouts of warming. "Look
out! Look out!" as the thunder Of hoofs
and yells of rage and defiance tell the
coming of the Cheyennes sweeping down
upon US, bat Merritt is ready for them,
too, and glancing over my shoulder
1 see my own troop, "K," with Mason at
its head, in long extended line come
trotting up over the bluffs, with Mont
gomery's grays just behind them. "Drive
'em, Mason" are the only orders 1 hear
as gallop over and take my place IN
front of my own platoon, and then
straight at the Cheyennes we go; troop
after troop darling up the bluffs and
spreading out to the right and left as
they ride in support. 1t is brilliant
and stirring sight, but lasts only few
minutes, for the Cheyennes for once IN
their lives are beaten at their own game
and know it. Utterly amazed at the ap-
pearance in their front of the regiment
they thought to be 20 or 100 miles away
miles away to the south, they leave, "Yel-
low Hand" and one of his brethren
stretched dead upon the sward; they drop
their pots aud kettles, pack saddles and
blankets and away-away they go scurry-
for fha fof 90
speed that battles pursuit. Sitting Bull
never got those fellows as allies, at least.
Buffalo Bill had one more feather in his
cap, and Merritt had won the name of
outwitting an Indian at his own tactics.
That night how the old men and squaws
crowded around Us at Red Cloud! How
they whispered together and pointed at
Buffalo Bill! I have had longer and hard
er rides in 48 hours than that one proved
to be, but none that were ever attended
With such results.

THE ARMY OF TYPES.
A. P. MILLER.

Oh, glorious fame is the fame of the frs.y
For the banner of Stars and StriLesl
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
Who march In the Army OF Types
How they come at the wave of the captains
hand,
How they gather with rattle and click,
And leap to the ranks at the silent command
On the forming ground of the stick.
And whether it storm or whether it shine,
And ever by day and by night,
With click. click, click they fall into line,
And march away to the fight.
Each soldier moves on in his squad of word,
To the drum of the age In the van,
And armed with a two-edged. invisible sword,
That cuts through the spirit of man.
Where Ignorance sits on her shadowy thrones
Built round by the walls of old night,
They crumble and crush into powder the stones
And let in the legions of light.
Where tyranny regns with his foot and his yoke
On the neck of the poor and the just
They cease not to smite till the letters are broke
And the tyrant is laid in the dust.
o, Army of Freedoml and Army of Light
Oh, host of our God! battle on!
Till the people shall rule in their God-given
right,
And the long night of error is gone
Oh. glorious fame is the fame of the fray
For the banner of Stars and Stripes,
But the mightiest soldiers of all are they
Who march in the Army of Types.

Borrowing From Public Men.

The men who borrow money from per-
sons in public life without any intention
of paying it back is legion. l was once
talking with James g. Blaine about this
phase of Washington life, says writer to
the New York Graphic, when ne remarked
that in twenty years. experience he had
never but once had a loan paid back to
him. His estimation of the man WIN
paid him was therefore of the highest
character. D wight Lawreh,e, the political
sage of New York, tells the story of New
York man who had borrowed 800 from q
friend, to whom he afterward gave a
check for the amount. When the check
was presented the holder of it was inform.
ed that the account was only good fol
$75. He scratched his head for while
andI then taking out $25 from hif
pocket book, deliberately made deposit
of that amount to the borrowers credit
whereupon he got the 800 check paid
He considered himself $75 ahead of the
game. The remarkable thing about il
was that the man who drew the check
complained that shabby trick had been
played upon him.

been variously described, but never more
graphically than by little girl, who,
miles away from home and mamma, sat,
heavy-eyed and silent, at hotel table.
"Aren'5 you hungry dear asked her aunt
With whom she was travelling.
"No'm."
ID ies your head achef"

"Whse IS the matters"
The child's lips quivered, and she said,
in tone to grieve the heart:

Washington The Gentleman.
St. Louis Republic.

The Corsican Napoleon, born of the
people and strong with no other strength
than theirs, gave all his greatness for a
crown, and challenged his own fate "turn
ed back the clock of century," denied
the people rights which made him strong,
and called on heaven for Helena that he
might make royal marriage and leave a
line with royal title to the throne, better
than that of his plebean blood Or plebean
strength of Europe's oppressed millions,
longing to be free. So his star set, and
for the strength of all the heavier cannon
which his boast made arbiters of heavens
will, heaven sent muddy ditch to make
his Waterloo. But Washington's star
shines ON. He was born a man. He
made himself gentleman.
In London a new movement is being
made to bring the divided skirt into
vogue. This is usual spring dlvertise-
ment. With each return of spring some
one, sometimes for one reason, sometimes
for another. makes this attempt. This
year they have been weighing the street
dresses of a fashionable girl and find that
they weigh all the way from eight pounds
up, and that girls Who are growing carry
this weight about with them in addition
to heavily trimmed underwear and skirts.
These divided skirts, which are warmer
than the usual style, do not weigh half as
much, so the plea is in the name of health
as we'll as comfort.
