not often meet with in the musical
line. Mr.. Savage is rare bird of
song. He is endowed by nature with a
splendid voice, which was cultivated
undeS the training of the abiest mas

stance which gives an added charm to
his stage presence. Of course he cap
tured his audience last night, and
could have kept them spell bound
until midnight, or longer, perhaps, if
he chose to do so. Master Tonic, a
Lad of fourteen years. gave couple Of
exhibitions of his skill as a pianist.
The boy certainly has brilliant future
before him. Skillful as he is. there is
not the slightest trace of affectation in
his manner. Everybody fell in love
with him for that. Your average boy

a Rising star.

A Wellington paper notifies the
world that Sumner county has a young
novelist in one Miss Frances Cheney,
who will soon startle the literary world
with work in fiction which, we are
assured. will find a place among the
works of the best lady writers of the
day." She has, so the account goes,
devoted a vast amount of time and an
unequalled perception to the study of
frontier life, etc. Enough. We have
had all the frontier life literature we
shall ever want. Anyone who wants
to know more about it can
spend a quarter or half dollar in
visiting a wild west show. That is
more valuable as an object lesson than
whole libraries on the subject. But
this young lady's style resembles that
of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, but is less
tedious. That is very fine, of course,
presuming that the Wellington Critic
is capable judge of the highest order
of literary excellence. But if she can
write that well, what is she doing on a
farm in Sumner county. Why doesn't
she come to Emporia or go to London?

Greened Potatoes.

A potato that has been greened in
the sun is spoiled for eating, but for
seed it is all the better. Such potas
toes will be from a week to ten days
earlier than others of the same var

With late varieties they will produce
larger crop, as the growth will be
more vigorous on the same kind OF
land. This secret of exposing pota>
toes to the sunshinefor time before
planting has been worth fortunes to
the potato growers who learned it.

Jefferson's Ten Rules of Life.

The following rules for practical
life were given by Mr.. Jefferson, in a
letter of advice to his namesake.
Thomas Jefferson Smith, in 1925:
/. Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do today.
.. Never trouble others for what
you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before
you have it.
4. Never buy what you do not
want because it is cheap.
8. Pride costs us more than hun.
ger, thirst and cold.
8. We never repent of having eat.
en- too little.
I. Nothing is troublesome that We
do willingly.
8. How much pain have those
evils cost us which have never hap
dened?
6. Take things always by theil
smooth handles.
10, When angry, count ten before
you speak; if very angry, count /
hundred.

Fall-Plowing Gardens.

Some kinds of garden vegetables,
like peas and lettuce, need to be
planted before the ground can be
well plowed in the spring. If the
blowing is done in the fall and the
land thrown up in ridges, this early
planting is possible without replow-
ing. Manure should also be applied
to gardens in the fall. 1t then soaks
into and through the soil, doing
much more good to next years cror
than an equal amount put on in the
spring, which must then be plowed
uuder. The manure on the surface
of a fall-plowed garden during win
ter acts as mulch and prevents the
surface from being compacted by
rains.

You have heard your friends and
neighbors talking about it. You may
yourself be one of the many who

how good thing it is, If you have
ever tried it,you are one of its staunch
friends, because the wonderful thing
