Shelter for Stock.

The farmer who has a big straw stack
has no excuse for allowing his stock to
suffer by exposure to cold or storms,
says American Cultivator. The animals
themselves will burrow holes in the
stack and find shelter if permitted to do
SO. But this is not best, as they may
undermine the stack and be buried under
it. With very little timber and plenty
Of straw, however, rough but warm
shelter may be provided at little cost
except for labor.

The Changing Fortune of the Years.

The Mark Lane Express says: 1.-THE
fortunes of the continental vintages have
a direct bearing on the position Of Eng
lish agriculture which is generally over
looked. When the phylloxera was
spreading in southern France, the dis
couragement of French farmers was
such that they changed from viticulture
to wheat growing over a very extensive
area. And there is also good deal of
wine land, which, IS an alternative,
would be favorable to barley.

Where Is there another retail store in this
or any other State with better facilities for
doing business than ours? People calling
in every day say. "Why don't you adver-
tise more extensively and let everybody
know what beautiful store you have9 1t
gives person an appetite to see with what
neatness and taste your business is con-
Quoted" Now, this is very true; but when
we hear Of other parties who are using the
newspapers quite freely what they say of
their stores, we feel little backward, and
prefer to say nothing. Should we exagger-
ate our business in the same scale as they
do theirs. we would say about as follows
"Ours is the only grocery store in the city.
Salesroom 200x500 feet. Stock we carry
nearly 100000. Sales S5,o000O0 per
year." and so on. Now to give straight
story: Ours is the largest retail family
grocery in Pennsylvania. Our salesroom is
30x150. Building, four stories and base
ment, completely stocked with goods. Our
salesroom is positively the handsomest fitted
up of any in the country. The fixtures,
such as shelving, show cases, tea and spice
cans, marble top counters and other i'm
provements, are ahead Of anything to be
seen anywhere. Elegantly lighted, and, by
the way, we have just added the latest i'm
proved yentilating fans, making ours the
coolest salesroom Of any in the city.
Our system of doing business is not in
LEADERS, but to give you complete
line Of goods at moderate and matchless
prices. What do you care to buy piece Of
soap, can of corn or package of anything
to save cent or two, and buy other articles
at the same store, such as bottle Of olives,
a jar Of preserves, pound of tea or some
thing else and pay 10 to Is cents more for it
than we would charge you. These people
refrain from advertising certain goods. but
notice, when asking for goods advertised,
their wonderful efforts to sell you something
else.
Now it is our intention to advertise our
business by giving the lowest prices on every
article we carry in stock. These prices will
be published weekly, and we are confident
will meet your approval Our motto,
Popular and Low Prices on All Goods"
will be strictly adhered to.

One more solution of the mystery of Mey-

who was infatuated with her and madly
Jealous of the Crown Prince. The story has
it that having killed the Baroness by mis-

Prince, but that portion Of his own hand
was blown of during the shooting affair,
and he has just died, of blood poisoning.

Br CABLE TO THE D1srArcH.l

LONDON, May n.-ECopYright. Per
haps the most remarkable story OF all con-
cerning the Vienna tragedy is that which
has Just reached Paris. So many true
stories have been published about the
mysterious death of Grown Prince Rudolf
and the Baroness Vetsera that it was
thought all conceivable plots had been ad-
vanced. The latest story, however, and one
which is received with more credence than
any other, is far more tragic and violent in
its details than any Of the preceding ones.
Curiously enough, the story gets to the
knowledge of the Partisan public through
two of the most famous women in France.
Madame Sarah Bernhardt received letter
from q rather exalted parsonage in Vienna
whose relations with the Crown Prince were
intimate. This letter she showed to several
persons of prominence, and it has gradually
reached the ears of other people.
CONFIRMATION OF THE STORY.
At about the same time Madam Judic,
who was playing in the Austrian capital,
became possessed of similar story from
two men Of notable rank, who are more or
less in her train. This story she told in
full to Monsieur Maurice Grau, who has
since found it to be identical with the in
formation contained in the Bernhardt letter.
A few days ago it was announced quietly
in the Austrian papers that the uncle OF
the Baron ness Vetsera had died at Meyer
ling. Until that time it was known that
the Count had disappeared, but nobody
knew where he was. After his death he
was buried without ceremony. The cause Of
his death was variously given, but there
was nothing in the newspapers, and the
Count was buried before ever the papers
knew of his death.
The accepted story now is far more hor-
rible than the climax of "Othello." 1t
would seem that the Count was
IN LOVE WITH HIS OWN NIECE,
Baroness Marie Vetsera. She was, as is
now well-known, a woman of singular and
remarkable beauty, and the passion which
she inspired in her uncle was apparently Of
the most violent nature. He was Of Hun
garisn descension and a man OF strong will
power. The family objected to an alliance
between niece and uncle, but the latter in
sisted upon having his way. Meanwhile
he watched the Baroness closely and was
the first man outside of the personal at

A SHARP ALTERcArIoN,

The Count, in fit of jealous fury, at
tempted to shoot the Crown Prince, but the
first bullet killed the Baroness. In the
struggle for the weapon which followed. q
portion Of the Counts hand was blown of,
and it was from the effects of this wound
that he subsequently died through blood
poisoning.
The Grown Prince was of slight build and
totally unarmed. The Count shot him just
as the attendants ran into the room. Every
effort was made, of course, to hush the
matter up, and the murderer was taken to
one of the rooms upstairs and put under
guard, pending instructions from the En-
peror. He went into a delirium in the
course of the night, and never left the room
alive.
The story is worth telling, because it is
the one which is now believed; but no mans
ingenuity can forecast the next history of
the mystery of Meyerling.

tendants of the Crown Prince to learn of the
intimacy between the heir to the Austrian
throne and his niece.
He said nothing, but watched the pair
narrowly, and when the Grown Prince left
the Ambassadors ball to drive out to
SehIoss Meyerling, the Count followed in q
closed carriage BE did not attempt to en-
ter the house where the lovers were until
very late at night. When he got into the
Princess bedroom and found the couple
together there was

A nfonetless Christmas

A Christmas without spending money!
Midwinter holidays without dolls or pic
ture books, tops, toy cannon or jumping
jacks, colored candies or any "store
presents" of any kind whatsoever
Christ's nativity celebrated without =
Christmas tree or a Christmas carol or a
gathering of the children-nO evergreen
shrub sparkling with glass, no Santa
Claus and no pantomime. Could such a
thing be in a Christian land?
Yea, verify.
And it is not so very long ago that
Just such a Christmas was the rule in
three-fourths of the United States-nay,
it is the rule now in considerable sec
tons where there are no large towns.
So easily do we get accustomed to what
Is, and so naturally do children believe
that the system they first noticed has al
ways been the system, that most people
do not know, and even the older ones
are forgetting, that the Christmas Of to-
day is comparatively a new thing.
But what was the old time Christmas,
and with what sights and sounds was it
ushered in? Well, in the first place, it
was-in all the rural regions at any rate
"a time when no money could be
"wasted." Children must have their
fun without extra expense, save as each
child had carefully saved his pennies.
AS to deliberately handing out a half
dollar to boy for Christmas-the aver
age father would as soon have thought
of giving him 8 deed for the farm. It
was a season for rabbit hunting and sled
ding If there was snow enough, and for
sliding if there was ice, for good din
ner and an extra piece Of pie, and then,
perhaps, for some home made presents.
A little later toys began to come in
say about 1S50-in the central west, and
such toysl Blocky horses, square cor
nered cows. dogs made Of clay and burnt
black in the fire, and 80 forth and so
forth; a collection Of them now would
throw a group Of children into convul-
sions Of laughter. Be It remembered
that less than fifty years ago Cincinnati,
Louisville and st. Louis were the only
cities really known to the great mass Of
people living west Of Ohio and north Of
Tennessee, and nine-tenths Of the people
under 20 years of age had never seen q
city of 10000 Inhabitants. And in those
days rural America celebrated Christmas
literally without money and without
(cash) price.
Plenty Of people who do not like to be
called old can recall the time when, in
all the book stores Of the rural regions,
only two or three kinds of ''story books"
could be found, and as to holiday books
and holiday goods as such-well, they
could be found In the cities. probably,
but not one child in hundred, taking
the country through, ever saw one Of
them.

mother or father was, whether they
were alive, or whether, indeed, he had
ever had a mother or a father, were
matters concerning which he absolutely
knew nothing, even by hearsay. Aunt
Sally was negatively good to him, it ap-
peared. She did not beat him, except
ing when she was drunk, which was,
however. much OF the time. She him
sleep in her room. and when she had
food she gave him some. When she was
drinking heavily she did not bother
about eating. and George had learned, as
young as he was. to keep away from her,
and get his food for himself. How or
when he got it, only Gods ravens could
have told. Such cases are not as common
in New York as they were twenty-five or
thirty years ago, but they are found now
and again, even in these days. Who Aunt
Sally was, or why she took any interest
whatever in him, he knew nothing about.
She was a fact, and her interest, faint
though it was, was a fact, and he had
not come to the age Of reasoning about
facts. He only recognized them.
One day-and it Glanced to be Christ
mas eve-a lady and gentleman appeared
in the little room as visitors. They had
read Of the mission work, the gentleman
explained, and had come from their
home in a nearby city to see it and to
give what little help was in their power.
There was q story back of it. but this
story was not told till afterward. Their
name was not Harrison. so I may call
them that

Suddenly she tore open his jacket and
the poor. ragged shirt he had on, and
looking on his breast found the birth
mark she sought. Then, quick as flash
the whole thing happened so quickly
that 1t was over before her husband
reached her side-she gathered him into
her arms, dirt, rags and all, and kissed
him until it seemed as if she were trying
to devour him. Then, of course, she
tainted.
1t did not take long, though, for the
other ladies in the room to bring her
back to consciousness, and then such a
scene as is rarely witnessed in this world
put an end to anything like the usual
order of exercises. Mr.. Harrison was
naturally a little slower than his wife to
recognize the child, but only little, and
the bewildered boy was shortly en-
braced and kissed asfew children in this
world ever have been
Such a prayer as Mr.. Van Meter utter
ed, while the tears streamed down his
cheeks and every person in the room
dropped on his knees, has seldom been
heard even from his eloquent lips, and
in a few more minutes Mr.. Harrison pro-
posed to leave. 1t was obvious enough
to him that he had to take his child
home, but the good missionary was too
well acquainted with the neighborhood
to let him go unattended.
'You would be mobbed before you had
gone a block, if the people saw you car
rying away the child" he said, and il
was presently arranged that q policeman
should be summoned to escort the party
up to Broadway, and carriage should
be taken there.
This was done as quickly as possible
for there was real danger Of trouble il
the news had been spread through the
neighborhood before they got away. As
it happened, however, all passed of
quietly, and little George had seen such &
Christmas as he had never dreamed of.
"Aunt Sally" was found, and every
effort was made to induce her to reform
She consented to go home, but whethel
she remained there or not I do no

New York, and all efforts to trace her
were Intellectual Had the newspapers
even at that time learned the particulars
Of the story it would have become as IA
nous as the Charlie Ross case, but the
family shrank from the exposure that
would have been inevitable, and though
all the detective skill that could be pro-
cured was employed, no publication was
made in the press.
