Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is good thing for a
girl, and if she does not learn it
when she is young she never will.
1t takes a great deal more neat
ness to make girl look well Ethan
it does to make boy look passa-
bic. Not because boy, to start
with, is better looking than a girl,
but his clothes are of different
sort, not so many colors in them;
and people don't expect boy to
look as pretty as a girl. A girl
that is not neatly dressed is called
a sloven and no one likes to look
TT face may be pretty
;bright, but if there is
ON her cheek and her
are black with ink,
anu - are not laced or but
toned up and her apron is dirty
and her collar is not buttoned and
her skirt is torn, she cannot be lik-
ed. [ went into a little girls room
once and all her clothes were on
the floor, and her playthings, too.
Learn to be neat, and when you
have learned it, it will almost take
care of itself.-Christian Woman.
The one crop system followed
up, will breed disease, no matter
what the crop may be. A rota-
ton of crops Will, in measure, if
not wholly prevent its develop
ment. Diverse crops on the same
soil is measurably preventative
and as well rejuvenator of the
soil. Corn following corn, or
wheat following wheat for a series
of years is the prime cause of in
sect pests; whereas an absolute |
change, not only of crops, but of
variety of crops so as to induce a
change in the method of cultiva- |
ton, in the habits of plant growth |
and the demands on the soil will /
be very apt to prevent the devel-
opment of insect pests. American

An Interesting Yarn Current RegardinI
Their Relations--A Robust Denial.

An Interesting Yarn Current Regarding
Their Relations-A Robust Denial.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 16.-There has
been current of late in political circles a
piece of gossip, said to be well verified,
which has caused great deal of comment
1t Is stated that few after the president ar
rived in Washington a note was sent by Pri-
gate Secretary Halford to Col. W. W. Dud-
.ey, to the effect that the president sympa-
thized deeply with him on account of the
criticism and obloquy cast upon him by rea-
ION of his alleged blocks of fiven letter,
but requested him not to call or attempt
my personal communication, as it
might embarrass the incoming adj
ministration. Col Dudley, piqued and
shagrined, replied that he was not in need Of
ympathy from any one; that he had done
nothing OF which he was ashamed, and that
ne had no favors to ask At the inaugura-
lion ball Col. and Mrs Dudley met face to
lace the president and Mrs Harrison and
were presented with hundreds of others The
president greeted Col Dudley as if he were
perfect stranger, but after hesitating a mo-
ment presented Mrs. Dudley to Mrs Har-
rison. Much ill-feeling among the Repub-
licans is said to have grown out Of these cir
cumstances
The above story was pronounced bymost
who heard it to be too absurd 70 obtain Gre
lCnce anywhere but as it was published in
Philadelphia and Baltimore, Mr.. Halford
was asked about it yesterday. He replied:
"Tha IS "a lie, pure and simple"

rather-in-law, George Hosking, and his
brother-in-law, aged Is, by shooting them
with a shotgun, charge of shot entering at
the left side of the jugular vein of the former,
and tearing away the face of the latter. A
boy named John King, hearing the shot,
came toward the house and was met by
Rumble. Holding out the gun the latter
asked the boy to shoot him. The boy re-
fused telling him to come to the house and
get dinner
Rumble then took the boys horse and rode
three miles to a lower ranch, entered the
kitchen of the house, and with q pistol shot
Mrs. Hosking in the left temple and then shot
himself III about the same spot. Mrs. Hosk-
ing was ironing clothes at the time The
four bodies were found at the two ranches
lying at right angles, forming cross The
shooting resulted from division of property
and family troubles. Mrs. Rumble was here
in town at the time, and is almost distracted

IMPORTANT TRAFFIC COMPACT
Between the Baltimore 4 Ohio al

Between the Baltimore 4 Ohio and
Anchor Line.
WPHILDELPHIA, March 16.-A special dis
patch from Ere says that the Anchor Line
transportation company has formed an i'm
portant compact with the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad The Anchor company, whose
headquarters are in Philadelphia, and whose
home port is at Erie, has contracted to
handle all of the Baltimore & Ohio's lake
traffic and bring it to Erie and has con-
tracted for extensive warehouses in Erie for
the Baltimore & Ohio traffic. This new ar
rangement consolidates the Baltimore & Ohio
business and brings it from Sandusky and
other ports to Erie.
The Anchor line officials say that the con-
tract will add about 80 per cent to their
traffic. The new arrangement has compelled
the Pennsylvania company to put in about
$500, 900 worth of improvements in which to
handle the Baltimore q Ohio traffic by the
way of the Erie & Pittsburg railway to
Pittsburg. This is one of the most important
traffic arrangements ever made by a Penn

One of Our ExiIes Coming Back.

CHICAGO, March 16-The Herald says that
ex-Warden w. =. McGarigle, of the county
hospital, will soon return to Chicago. Nc
Garigle was convicted with Edward Melon
aid and sentenced to three years imprison-
ment but escaped from the custody of Sheriff
Matson. McGarigle and his friends believe
that the recent de cision Of the supreme court
in McDonald's case, ordering new trial,
offers him an avenue of escape from the pen
itentiary, and thai he will only have to en-
dure another brief term of Imprisonment in
the county Jail t. secure full and uncondi-
tional freedom
