Henry E. Alyord, Director of the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment Station:
COLLEGE PARK, Nd, Aug. 25, 1891.
For three years, the Dietz, or pietz-Longber-
~, has been very successfully grown at the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station.
Last year 1t far surpassed forty other varieties
of wheat grown with it, including all the old
favorites. Several lots of seed were sent from
the Station last fall for trial in different parts
of the State and the reports lately received are
all favorable The Experiment Station has
some OF this wheat to spare this year and al
though it shows some weevil, 1t Is good seed.
The wheat is put up in new sacks, about $50
lbs. in sack, or enough for two acres. These
sacks are sold at three dollars each, being but
little above market price for best grain. Only
one sack is sold to any one person and the Station
Director prefers to sell to only one or two per-
sons in neighborhood. The wheat is now
ready for shipment.
Money may be sent by postal-note or register
ed letter and should be accompanied by full
shipping directions. Orders will be filled In the
order Of receipt, until the supply is exhausted.

PRESENCE OF MIND.-Last Friday night, at
the residence of Mr.. j. Wilson Moore, near Fall
ston, Miss Landstreet, guest, undertook to
extinguish the light in a hanging lamp. As she
was pulling the lamp down it broke from its
fastenings and fell upon the table beneath it.
Oil from the lamp blazed up on the table and
some of it, which splashed upon Miss Land
streets dress, also caught fire. The young lady
with rare presence of mind folded her dress over
so as to extinguish the blaze, and taking up the
burning lamp threw it out and succeeded in
putting the fire out, thereby averting what
might have resulted in q serious accident.

He went home and prepared his speech with
great care, and after reading 1t over to him
self a few times he informed his clients that

the old mans case was called first
The young attorney rose to feet and for
one solid hour recited the history OF the old
mans life from his boyhood; depicted the OK.
posure, fatigue and dangers OF q soldiers
life, OF which the Judge perhaps knew q lew
points himself. and closed witn a most affect
ing peroration, In which he claimed that his
client had left home OF luxury, loving
family and LIE OF ease In the hour OF the
Nations greatest peril. and had given three
Of the best years Of his life TO his country's
service; now, In his old age, the country
should care for the veteran Instead OF pun
ishiDg him for little act Of indiscreti0D,
such as he had confessed to being guilty Of.
The young attorney sat down with flushed
feeling that he had won the day, while ad-
miriDg glances were cast In his direction by
the two gratified men In the prisoners box.
The judge put on his glasses, beamed over
them kindly at the young attorney, and said:
"Well, as your client has served mis- country
faithfully for three years. the State should
take care Of him for the same length OF time,
therefore sentence him to three years In
the penitentiary." The young attorney and
two clients nearly fell from of their seats at
the shock. As soon as Frank had swallowed
the big lump Of something that had risen In
his throat on hearing the Judges words, he
rose to present the case of the other prisoner,
when his yet unsentenced client beckoned
him to the box. and whispered In his ear:
II say, young feller, IL you're goin' to try
to clear me on my m litary record. for Gods
sake tell that old duffer up on the bench
that was in the hundred days service"
But it was Of no use; united In crime the
prisoners were undivided In sentence. and

Frank had been appointed by the Court to
defend them. The case was clear one, as
the stolen goods had been found in possess

were sure to be sent over the road, so the
young attorney advised the prisoners TO
plead guilty, and he would try to. get the
Court to cut their sentences down from tno
one year they expected, to- the six months
that they hoped for. One OF the tramps was
about sixty years Of age, and the otner
comparatively young man. After SOME

were both induced to state that they mad

The hour at which the head of the funeral
procession was to move from Seventy-frst

time spectators began to take up their place
along the route of march. About 1925 the
caisson draped In black and drawn by four
horses was drawn up in front Of the Sher-
man house. The horses were mounted by
regulars and an army officer was in charge.
Behind the caisson was an orderly leading a
black charger which bore the military trap
