AN EXPENSIVE FIND.

How Higgins Celebrated the DiscoSory u
y Five-Dollar Gold Piece.
"Jee Whillikens! What's that?'
Higgins made dive for something in
the mud at his feet, fished it out be-
tween his thumb and finger, and
slapped his thigh joyfully as he said
ga fve-dollar gold piece. sure as
guns! First money ever found in my
life! I'll have me new hat out OF
that, and take tho babies home some
toys and something to my wife,
A moment later he met two friends,
and said:
"Ha. Smythe, how are you? How're
you, Haley? S'poslng we step into
Archie Flynn's place and take some
thing. I've just found five dollars and
Ill set 'em up on the strength of it. y
What he ''set up cost eighty cents,
aud ten minutes later he met three OF
the '.boys" from the Office and gen.
erously ''set up" ''cigars all round. "
Then he tossed twenty-five cents to
a blind beggar and gave the office boy
ten cents for backing his boots.
He wrote letter to his married sis
ter that morning. to which was the
following postscript:
Il picked up five dollars on the
street to-day, and inclose two of it.

'Guess I'll 60 down to the Parker
House and get my dinner to-day in

Then he paid dollar and a half

toys for the children and another dol

ing a theater. my wife's been want
ing all the week to go and see Lolita
and said we couldn't afford it, but

picks tive-dollar gold pieces up out of

A day or two later Higgins found
rather sober amusement In covering

figures:

Described in the nursery ballad, "who lived
upon nothing but vituals and drink" and ye
"would never be quiet" was undoubteSi,
troubled with chronic indigestion. Her victuals
like those of many other elderly persons whose
digestive powers have become impaird, didn't
agree with her. This was before the area OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. or some one of heI
numerous friends and relatives would an
doubtedly have persuaded her to try the grea,
specific for dyspepsia, constip. ton and bilious
ness. This would have been a measure of self
protection on their part, for she would soon
have been cured and ceased to disturb them
with her clamOr. The most obstinate cases OF
Indigestion, with its attendant heartburn, fla
tulence, constant uneasiness of the stomach and
of the nerves, are completely overcome by this
sovereign remedy. Chills and fever and bilious
remittent, rheumatism and kidney troubles are
also relieved by it.

PROTECTION OF WEEDS:
Inexcusable Carelessness Of Which Many
Farmers Are Guilty.

v0cxCUS8Ule C0F6ie0aucBo Va w HUH NAWssy
Farmers Are Guilty.
More protection is given to the
weed crop (and also the insects) than
may be supposed owing to improper
seasons of preparing the land for
crops. After the wheat crop is cut
the point next to be considered is how
to treat the land after the crop is off.
The amount of labor to be bestowed
on the field next year, and the value
of the crop to be taken Off, is largely
Influenced by this years treatment OF
the field. If the farmer could pre-
vent weeds from springing up his item
of labor would be greatly reduced,
and d is matter that not only de-
serves consideration bat must be con-
sidered in time to put some method in
practice by which weeds can be par
TALLY prevented and less labor entailed.
The regulation of the weed crop
should be under the control of the
farmer, but to d. this some system is
required. and the weeds must not be
overlooked in order to give the regu-
lar crops all the labor.
1t is not customary to pillow in the
summer, just at the busiest time OF
harvesting, but when the farmer is
busy then is the weeds opportunity.
They take possession and grow. They
will not grow as we'll when the seed is
,rh tho
opportunity of the farmer should be
to induce them to grow. Instead OF
leaving the stubble land idle for the
weeds to grow on. with the I'M
covered seeds remaining to be
plowed under for a spring crop,
the stubble land should be
plOwed as soon as the wheat crop is
off. 1t should not be turned under
deeper than one Or two inches, if posi-
BILE. and if the soil is light the Guilt
victor may serve to break it up. The
seeds of the weeds will then terminate
Gas also the seeds OF any grain that
may be on the ground), and when the
pants are well up the land should be
plowed a little deeper, thus turning
under the weeds as green manure and
giving any remaining seeds an oppor-
tunity to sprOut and come up. The
land should then be eft until late in
the fall unless the weeds are nearly
matured, as they should never be al
lowed to seed.
Late fall blowing turns up the in
sects that have buried themselves and
exposes them to the cold. Should
any more weed seeds remain, from be-
ing deep in the soil. they Will also be
brought to the surface. sprout in the
spring and be caught by the spring
blowing. Farmers may complain that
this method entails three or -four
plowings and costs too much Con-
sideration will convince them that
there will. however, be less work to
do fighting weeds the next season and
that the succeeding year will find
fewer plowings necessary and the
number of weeds greatly reduced.
With the method practiced of leaving
the stubble land unplowed until fall or
spring. the weeds and insects are pro-
tected. more labor is required and
the following crops are robbed of moist
ure and plant food. --Philadelphia
