Except the lightest sandy soils, all
level land will be benefited by fall
blowing. When we'll plowed, and to
proper depth, the plowed ground
will not wash even by the heavy
Southern winter rains. That the land
will leach and lose it's fertility is a.
mistake. Nothing will be lost in any
case except the nitrogen, which exists
in the form of nitric acid or the most
soluble nitric salts, and, as a rule.
there is no danger of this because of
the almost entire absence of this form
OF nitrogen in the land. On the con-
trary, it is for the purpose OF devel-
oping this scarce plant-tood in the
soil that fall blowing is desirable.
The turning over of the soil aids in
the change of the abundant inert
nitrogen, which is mostly combined
with the carbonaceous organic mat
ter in the soil, into soluble nitrates.
and this process goes on slowly dur
ing the fall and early spring, and
where the ground is not frozen even
during the winter Consequently the
land is brought into more fertile
condition by the fall blowing, and be-
sides this gain, there is another of
much Importance, viz: the spring
work is forwarded so much. and the
crops may be put in so much earlier.

LOVES EBBANDFLOW.

Clyde Harris stood looking dowr
on the lovely face of the girl before
him, his dark eyes burning.
1t was a fair delicately-cut, per-
fectly-tinted face, with great violet
eyes looking innocently out from its
beauty, and mass of silken sunny
hair piled high above it's low, white
brow; and for months he had followed
it.
There she stood, cold and fair, with
even pulses and untroubled heart
she who had allowed him to love her
unchidden, unwarned; she who but q
moment before had told him that
she would never be anything to him
that she was the betrothed wife of q
brainless, moneyed youth, who had
idangled in her train for some time.
Within, some one was singing. On
the still autumn air the words stole
out to Clyde, and made his lip curl
bitterly:
"Man's love is like the restless waves.
Ever Mt rise and fall;
The only love a woman Graves
1t must be all in ALL
Ask me no more if regret
You need not care to know;
woman's heart can ne or forget,
Bid me good-by, and gol'
The only love q woman craves!'
All, but the fairest woman he had
ever seen was throwing a mans true
love out of her life that she might
take in it's place the glitter of dia-
monds and the sheen of costly
raiment!
. You have not cared for me at all,
them" he asked at last.
: And the violet eyes lifted to his re-
proachfully.
Il like you better than anybody
else" she said, sweetly. Indeed, /
am very sorry you are poor, Clyde"
With a Tightening of the heart, he
turned away, as her betrothed came
out and claimed her. And so they
parted they who had played at
love till one of them was wounded.
Inez Lake went in to the light and
music OF her hostess parlors; Clyde
Harris went down the veranda steps
and through the moonlit night to
his home, the refrain of the song lie
had heard following him like mock

The game with Mansfield Saturday At.

of the visitors by a score OF IS to 4. II
was one Of the most remarkable games
Of the season here, the fonr scores made
by Mansfield all being home runs, and
one Of them being the longest hit ever
made on the grounds. The fielding Of
the visitors was very ragged at times,

that never lost IL. In their half Of the
inning Mansfield came near scoring, but

A FINE SUNDAY GAME


EtuIou AosteEuAy W hWo WNeplAhk S1uo
and a Picked Nine.
The Mansfield club declined to remain
here over Sunday Iand participate in a
Sunday game. Therefore the home
management got together a picked nine
to play against Wheeling yesterday. The
game was advertised by dodgers satur-
day evening, and In tho papers, and
people urged To- attend the 0beneGt
game" About four hundred people re.
sponded to this call. The game was very
quiet, without any features Of special
Interest. Just previous TO starting Capt.
Sam Rrpbaker stepped out in front oil
the grand stand, gave an extra twist 10
his military moustache, waved a straw
hat with a blue band In the air, and re.
quested that there be no demonstrations
Of approval or otherwise, either by
cheering or clapping OF hands. His re,
marks were hriefand his gestures numer.
GUS. His request was o6eyed 10 the let.
ter-probably because there was nothing
about the game that was calculated Il
arouse enthusiasm. The piCkel nine
was made up Of well known local anna,
teurs, and under d l%tferent circumstance
thu, game might have been interesting
and spirited.
After two balls had been twirled owe
the plate, Justice Of the Peace Phillips
stepped out into the diamond, accom-
panied by Constable Bennett, and or
dered all the players and the umpire
under arrest. About five minutes wa
consumed in making out the papers thai
bound the nineteen men arrested owe,
till 0 O'Clock next Monday morning fol
a preliminary hearing, and then the
game was resumed.
The full score wAa ha t~oIlowu.
