The lOng-suffering grandmother tried
TO tell. and another basket was sought
for and its contents tumbled about I'M
til the neat old lady herself could not
find anything in the mess her grandson
left. Then he wanted a bit of blue
cloth and hunted through her piece
bag and through a box on the upper
shelf, she all the while protesting and
urging him TO wait till morning. and
assuring him that her head
felt fit to split At last, when he
was about to dive into
trunk, she arose in her wrath and
told him if he did not 60 out Of her
room that minute she would call his
father. Then Robert went, but as he
closed the door, not gently, he was
heard 20 say that he wouldn't be so
cross as some folks were not for any
thing in this world. After all he left
the light burning, and poor grand
mother had TO creep out of bed and
take care of it The next morning the
father. who had to take the early
train, managed to make cup of coffee
and cook an egg for himself; and Robert

and found what breakfast he could.
I'm dreadful sorry" Grandmother
said, when ne came TO inquire what it
all meant; but can't raise my head
from the pillow, it spins around so.
You will have to go for Susan Bates
and see If you can get her to come for
the day. did't get TO sleep last night
until after IL o'clock"
THAT is because you went to bed so
early, Grandmother. Susan Bates is
horrid, think; but I'll go for her, and
he went away whistling
Robert Jenkins is such good-na-
tured boy" said Mrs. Jones, as she saw
him pass; The is always whistling, and
always looks happy. l think it is
worth great deal to have such dis
position. His grandmother ought to be
thankful that she hasn't some boys to
deal with"
His grandmother was thankful; but
as she lay there trying to hide her poor
ears from the shrill whistle. she said
softly: IF Robert could only learn to
be little more careful He has himself
to thank for being at Susan Bates
mercy all day. If he hadn't come ram
paging in here last night, and insisted
on staying in spite of my headache,
believe I should have been up this morn

CONCERNING STRAW.
Its Disposition Leaves Wide Margin for
Wise Judgment.

Its Disposition Leaves a Wide Margin for
Wise Judgment.
1t is a vexed question what to do
with the straw One says it must be
worked into manure-as much of it
through the animal as possible, when a
part of it will be made over into ami
NAL produce, and the rest, going into
the manure pile as dung, will be so
finely ground up that it will rot readi-
ly; the rest to be used as litter. Thus
all of it is utilized at home Another
would burn it, presumably on the
wheat land, with the stubble, and says
it is worth Sc ton to the land so
treated. Another would spread it and
pillow it under; and still another would
sell it, the price obtained being from
So to SIS, according to the state of the
market and the condition of the straw,
whether much broken or not The fact
is, no single rule will answer for all
eases; each one must decide his own
case for himself, on business principles.
If no animal product of any kind can
be sold with profit, commercial ma
nures can be used to advantage to re-
place plant food sold in the straw; and
if there is a good market for it, sell it.
If all these conditions are just re-
versed, use it up in the barn. If it can
be neither sold or fed, the pile of it Is
large, and the quantity of manure
made is small, then burn it with the
stubble. Last of all plow it in; last
resort, because Of the difficulty in get
ting it well covered and of the slow
ness with which it decays when so
treated; not till decayed has it any use
as plant food The manurial value of
my straw is estimated at 50 per ton; if
burned, half of this may be lost in the
nitrogen, all of which passes off into
the air. If fed to the stock, it cannot
but realize more than its mere manurial
value, for animal produce is worth
more than manure. If threshed by
hand, and the straw is left in a good
condition, little broken, it has been
sold for SIS a ton. There is a wide
margin here for wise Judgment as to
what to do with the straw.-Dr. G. e..
Caldwell, in n. Y. Tribune.

The very first snow of the season had
come-just enough to slide on without
going in over your boots.
1t was sunny December day, and
Ted and Mamie were out on the terrace
all ready for fun.
Mamie wore her blue hood and red
mittens Her eyes matched the hood
and her cheeks matched the mittens
She wanted the first slide down the
terrace.
'Oh, please letme, Teddy she begged
in happy futter.

first, cause I'm the oldest. Sides, it's
my sled"
Then you're . mean boy" said
Mamie.
answered Ted, coollv.
Wasn't it pity that quarrel should
cloud the beautiful bright day? Nam
ma thought SO. She had opened the
window to get handful of fresh snow,
and she heard it all.
Ted! Mamier' mamma called. I'm
going to give Tony and Cleo bath.
Don't you want to see?"
They came, hanging back little.
"Oh. yes" cried Mamie.
II was yet one of her delights to watch
the new canaries battle,
Ted didn't say anything he didn't
care much about such fun himself
but he looked on while mamma took
off the age-bottom and set the cage
over a glass dish full of water on the
oilcloth mat.
Tony hoped t. the lowest perch with
an eager flutter, and dipped his yellow
seemed to remember something. He
looked up at Cleo.
Chip chip! chip!" he said.
Cleo understood.
''Che-up!" she answered softly.
Then down she came. and into the
water she went, while Tony stood by
and sang as if he meant to burst his
little throat.
When Cleo finished her bath, he took
his, scattering the water-drops like
rain.
Mamma looked at Teddy.
What do you think of ito" she asked,
with a twinkle.
Il think Tony's little gentleman, "
answered Ted, promptly And I'm
going to be one too. You can slide first,
Mamie
NO, you can" said Mamie.
1t was to see who shouldn't be first
this time! But Teddy conquered Sun
shine.

is the man who proposes to cure all
ills which human flesh is heir to, and
is the man who will help Harri-
son fasten on the South that excellent
piece OF attempted legislation known
as the force bill. A vote for him is
something like half vote for Harri-
son, and it makes but fifty per cent
difference so far as Harrison is con.
cerned whether the vote is cast for
him or Weaver. The man who
wants to aid Harrison in his Repub-
lican tariff robbery and force bill in

THE PASTOR RESIGNS.
Rev. j. q. Bow Voluntarily Retires From
6sA Louisville Passionate.


DR.. j. q. Bow, who is spoken of in
the following connection by the Cour-
ier-Journal, has many friends in
GAINESVILLE, especially among the
Baptist denomination:
The Twenty.second-street Baptist
church is about to lose its pastor, the
Rev. DR.. J, g. Bow, d. d., who came
here from Russellville to succeed the
Rev. F. ID. Hale, when he became
pastor of the McFerran Memorial
church. Eor some time there have
been two parties in the Twenty
seeOnd-street church, and DIR. Bow
has decided to retire rather than be
antagonized even by small part OF
the congregation.
He has been asked to Withdraw his
resignation, but 1t is not known what
course he will pursue. Since his
arrival in the city he has taken an
active part in the work of his demon
nation, especially in the advance
ment OF the Baptist Ministers Aid
Society. DIR. Bow is also a director
in the Baptist Book Concern.
