The North Side little girl was trying to assist
her father in driving q span of Shetland ponies
in Lincoln Park. The speed did not suit her.
The ponies were soldering. She brought the
lines down smartly on the backs Of the shet-
land hirelings and shouted:
''Get upr'
The ponies logged along at their regulation
tsot, neither faster nor slower. She HhacIs
them again with the lines and again issued
the command:

ponies, and seizing the whip she gave them

IT believe great changes will occur in the
natural order Of things in the condition of the
farmers. The time is not distant when they
will have no trouble about fences. their neigh
bors' stock will be corraled, when farmers of
the neighborhood will gather into village COM
munities, and, like advanced European nations,
will 90 out from these to their daily work on
farms near by. Closer community and asso-
citation will bring neighbors into closer touch
with each other. The moving to towns or cities,
now the most striking tendency of our popula-
ton, will be checked, while the marvellous labor
saving machinery will relieve the farmer from
his former hard labor. As for the wild schemes
proposed by the vi5ionaries OF our day. that the
farmer must be supported in his great industry
by irredeemsble money loaned to HIM at per
cent, and ware houses maintained by the gov
eminent for the storing Of his grain, they will
be rejected by him as class legislation Of the

lead in favor Of issuing such notes. This met
with very decided opposition from such expert

for the immediate use Of some form Of money.

forms OF paper money issued by local banks.

In writing upon this subject, Mr.. N.
J. Shepherd remarks upon the desfra-
bility of keeping vegetables for win
ter supply, and says that often the mar
ket price may be such as to make it
more profitable to sell all over what
viii be required for family use and for
seed rather than store away until
spring. There is always more or less
risk in storing away any kind Of farm
products, and it requires something Of
an advance in prices to make keeping
them over profitable, when the risks
are taken into consideration. Taking
one year with another. when you can
obtain a fair market price when harvest
ing the crop, then is the best time to
sell. II you intend saving part Of the
crop, take especial pains to select only
the very best; not necessarily the
largest, but those thatco nearest to the
standard variety; good shaped, medium
sized, are preferable to either small
or extra large. These should be stored
by themselves, and particular pains
should be taken to keep them in the best
manner. Pitting in the open air, If
properly done, is very good way, and
If covered sufficiently deep, and care
taken to see that the water can drain
off rapidly and easily.
If stored in the cellar, care should be
taken 10 put them in good boxes or bins;
raise them from the ground at least two
or three inches, and then place the

Stoner had been Texas ranger, and
could hold his own extremely well in
that rough, frontier community. He
had carried of q pretty Spanish wife
from the Chihuahua region years be-
fore, had brought her to the rocky Cali,
fornia coast and had purchased set
tiers claim and an old adobe house
built BY Spanish hidalgo half cent
ury ago.
Here he farmed, raised cattle on the
unused Government lands, and kept
sort Of rude hotel, for several mountain
trails joined at that point the broad
highway which led from the county
seat, twenty miles south, to the north
ern settlements in the pineries. He
had five daughters too-the youngest,
Theresa, known as Tessa, girl of
seventeen. That added to the attraction
and almost every night the dark-eyed,
half-Spanish girls sang and danced, and
old Stoner managed to hear all the news
that was afioat, and somehow most Of
the loose coin of the region ultimately
found its way into his pockets He was
a deep one, that same Ephiram Stoner,
quiet, sly and patient, secret in his
methods and deadly in his blow.
Stoner's wife and his four eldest daugh-
tiers were uneducated and in complete
subsection to his will. But Tessa had
more brains and energy than all the 9TH
ers put together and quite as much beau
ty, land SO the old Texan ranger took q GER
tain pride in her, and had even allowed
her to attend district school for two
years.

disposition might have discovered sew
