A WINTER EVENING.

The golden beams Of departing day
Beneath the landscape fade;
While DER the earth the moons soft ray
Makes bright the sombre shade,
AS the woodcrowned hill and fertile vale
Sleeps meath winters spotless robe,
so rests the world in the moonlight pale,
While holy angels guard above
Oh, God the father of us all,
While yet were in our youthful days,
Let thy light of love around us fall,
Attune our hearts unto thy praise;
And when the SHOWS of gathering years,
Their frosty network about us weave,
May Faiths sweet smile dispel our fears,
And within Thy home our souls receive.

Which Man Felt the Worse2

was the reply. II went home last
night slightly under the influence and
my dear little wife would not say a
word to me this morning. I feel pref
y badly, I can tell YOU"
"Crickety!" commented the other,
Il wish my wife would do likewise.
But when I go home tired and
troubled you bet l catch it. Why,
she'll almost talk my head off and
She'll follow me all over the house

SUPERFICIAL FARMING.
A Style of Agriculture Which VIII New
BE Very Profitable.

A Style of Agriculture Which Will Never
Be Very Profitable.
Too many farmers count the total
area of their acreage rather than the
average producing value of the land
No one ever made this diffusive style
of farming very profitable. 1t would
pay far better in the end to concen-
trate means and energy within narrow
limits, rather than acquire a number
of acres to be half titled. Again, the
farmer in putting out manure gene"-
ally spreads it over too much territory.
A near neighbor sowed to wheat thir-
teen acres of uniform soil; twelve
acres in his usual way-well plowed.
narrowed level and the seed narrowed
in. The other acre was well broken,
and six tons of manure broadcasted
and thoroughly incorporated with The
soil In doing this the surface became
in fine condition. This acre yielded
224 bushels; the twelve acres returned
only 81 bushels per acre. The grain
on the one acre cost forty-five cents
per bushel; on the twelve acres, sixty
five cents per bushel. Yet with all the
evidence in favor of high culture we
still spread ourselves thinly over
broad acres. 1t should be the motto
of every farmer to make the most of
each foot of land, and to accumulate
all the manure he can and use it to the
best advantage. Much space, always
very rich, around stables, barns and
fences, is allotted to intruding under
brush or debris, Or given up to I'M
slightly weeds. Learn neatnes5, care
fitness and economy in the use Of land
Make more money with less labor

BOGUS MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Discovery of An Institution
Where Diplomas Are Sold
FOR THE SUM OF SIX DOLLARS,
And You Get Your Choice of q Half
Dozen "UpIyorsIties" Which Only
Exist on PapeF-AR Immense
Trade Done in sheepskInS,

PORTSMOUTH, N, H., Sept, 29,-A great
sensation has been caused here by the
discovery Of another actively maintained
bogus college Of medicine similar In
management and larger In extent than
the Druid College Of Maine, q full ex'
pose Of which was made some years ago.
This latest chartered institution, is the
Trinity University Of Medicine and
Surgery, having nominal headquarters
at Bennington, W. It's methodsof blsi'
ness, briefly told, are these; Those
desiFingto buy a diploma covering both
medicine and surgery have, II possess,
ing the necessary money, been given
their choice Of the following institutions,
all Of which exist merely on paper;
University Of Cincinnati, Montreal Medl'
cal College, New York State Medical
College, Trenton, MI, Medical College,
University OF New Hampshire, Trinity
University OF Medicine and Surgery.
The value OF sheepskins representing
the above institutions has varied from So
to $50 each. There is no doubt but that
hundreds OF them have been purchased
throughout the West and South, while
New England alone has been yictlmized
by scores. DR.. D. s. Adams, OF ManChes.
ter who Is Chairman OF the State Board
OF CepBors, while pursuing official in
yestigation In the State Department last
November, discovered the inscription ot
an institution about which he imme.
diately became suspicious. It was the
University Of New Hampshire, nomin'
ally located at Nashua and oficered by
Fred G. Wheaton as President and Fl,
r. Bradbury, NJ. D., Secretary. In the
course OF his investigation he discovered
that these persons were connected with
the "Trinity University Of Bennington"
though passing under other names,
Bradbury also doing an active business
In Lowell under the name Of Dr.. Free
land.
1t was learned large correspondence
was received showing that the vast
amount oil mail sent from and delivered
at Bennington, Lowell, Nashua and Bos-
ton was combined, and Is probably only
small part OF the existing evidence
relative to the swindle that was being
done. Bradbury, 1t was learned, figured
as "Dr. Ripley" OF II 0ornhill street,
Boston, whoro all correspondence ap.
pertaining TO Trinity University was for
warded. When DR.. Adams agents had
completed their negotiations with Ripley
It was agreed that a diploma Of Trinity
University should be delivered to them
upon receipt Of a handsome financial
consideration. This was done, another
man who was working on the case vol.
untecring to pay for the sheepskin. As
soon as 1t was evident that q criminal
case had been made out the matter was
given in charge Of the authorities, and 1t
Is probable that important developments
will take place within day or two.

after. His wife, who Is beautiful little

The Latest Tascott Stories Dear Evidence
Of Being Made of Whole Cloth.
CHICAGO, Sept, 9.-Three brand new
Tascott stories made their appearance
to-day. They all purport to solve the
mystery Of Millionaire snell's nurder,
but agree only in creating the impression
that Tascott was not the real criminal.
The most important Of the three narra-
tiyes quotes as authority an alleged well
known lawyer whose name Is withheld.
He says he was consulted professionally
the day after the murder by one OF the
two men who did the killing, James
Gillian, au ex-convict, now dead. Tas-
colts connection with the case Is
explained in this version by the
statement that Gillian had hidden his
plunder In TasCott's room during the
l6tter's absence from the city. The SEN
