neglect inflicted upon me. An the pain
he had caused me from childhood up
rushed into my soul in that one mo-
ment. I endured again all the hard
things he had spoken to me, and all the
blows he had given me. Yet, loved
him, and grieved because of our sepa-
ration.
AS I sat by the roadside with my face
covered by my hands, heard some one
approaching, and looking up 1 saw
Aunt Mary. Her eyes were damp and
I knew she had been weeping, too. She
did not speak, and think her heart
was too full to admit Of it, but she
came and sat down by me and put her
arms around me and drew me to her,
and held me so for long time. Her
sympathy so delicately expressed had
a wonderfully soothing effect upon me,
and by degrees grew calm.
"Aunt Mary" at last ventured 70

who turns from me, you love me-"

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

ONE days rakin9 with a light rake
when the weeds are just beginning to
| appear will save q weeks work later on,
and any young plants grown rs a crop
will be benefited thereby. It is by TAX
ing advantage of these minor matters
hat labor is saved. In the field the
harrow will be found useful when weeds
are starting.
MILK can easily be tested for foreign
talnts by heating a small quantity to a
temperature of 40 or ll5 degrees. At
this temperature it will be very easy
for the average nose to tell what, il
anything. is the matter with the milk.
Milk tested in this way will reveal the
hog pen. the COW stable, filthy cans and
various other taints
ACCORDING to DIR. Hoskins, three
ounces of hellebore dissolved in three
gallons of hot water will destroy onion
and cabbage root maggots as soon as it
touches them. Remove a portion of the
soil SO as to give the water free access
to the roots. 1t can be poured in, but a
syringe helps in its application, a gill or
so to the hill or plant.
GRASS is a crop that can be produced
with less labor than grain, and no farm
is complete without grass of some kind.
Hay brings a higher price, in proper
ton to cost. than any other crop except
fruits and vegetables, and when the hay
is fed to stock a greater profit is made.
1t should be the object OF every farmer
to produce grass of some kind. II one
variety will not thrive try another,

SHAKING oEE TRAMPS.


An original Method OF procedure In the
south.
The conductors on southern railroads
are greatly annoyed with tramps. mos,
of whom are negroes of the indolent
type of that race. One night on a train
on what is known as Sunset route was
a typical southern conductor, who had
been n brigadier in the confederate
service. His train had been stopping
frequently between stations. A north
ern traveller. who was becoming nerv-
GUS. asked the general what was the &C.
casion. This was his answer:
''Niggah tramps infest the trains
down here very badly. They don't wait
for the train to stop. They are used to
iumpin' on trains when the trains are
running at high speed. They throw
themselves with wonderful dcxterity on
the real platform. and quicker han I
car tell you they swing themselves
under the car and get a lodgmcnt on
the axles of the car. The only way TO
get them off is TO stop the train and
hunt them out. sometimes we have TO
shake them off, same a You have to
shake a coon from q tree. If we catch
them before they swing themselves
under the car, though, we don't stop
the train then"
what do you do with them then?r
Just drop them, sab, while the train
is in motion. Sometimes | wait till we
get on a down grade and then we let
them 60"
DO you not sometimes kill one by
that sort of thing?"
II never stop a train to see but as w
are never summoned before any cor
oner's jury, l low we don't. Mighty
hard to kill a niggah unless you hit him
with the front edge of a locomotive

Has Succeeded


IN. Z. sum-
Two day ago one of the most prominent
professional men in New York published a
letter SO ouispoken, so unusual as TO cause
extensive talk and awaken much comment.
Yesterday j interviewed the gentleman as
to the contents OF the letter, and he fully
confirmed it in every respect He not only
did this but he also mentioned a number 81
~unusi;al cases which had come under his
observation in which little less than a mira
Gle had been performed.
So important has the entire subject be
come that l determined to investigate 1t to
the bottom, and accordingly called upon Mr..
Albert G. Eaves, the prominent costuner
at No. 63 East Twelfth street, the gentle
mar mentioned in my interview with the
doctor yesterday. Mr.. Eaves has made
quite q name. A complete knowledge Of his
tory, an. appreciation OF art and reliability
are essential in his profession.
Mr.. Eaves," / said, ~ learn that your
wife has had n most unusual experience; are

Tho gentleman thought a moment and an
expression of pleasure passed over his face.
"When l think, . he said, 'of what my wife
once passed through and the condition she
is in today, l cannot but feel gratitude.
Nearly three years ago she was at the point
Of death. You can understand how sick
she was when l say she was totally blind
and lay in a state OF Inconsistencies. Three
doctors attended her and all agreed that her
death was only a question Of hours, perhaps

continued:

II was a simple singer,
Who sang q simple song,
But as the swelling music
Resounded clear and strong
l felt the inspiration
or her mclod!ous voice.
That thrilled me with its sweetness
And made my heart rejoice
The soft and liquid cadence
Harmonious rose and fell,
And bore the sweet enchaniment
OF music's mystic spell
1t lulled the voice OF sorrow
And waited hope 10 me,
As tho It were an echo
or Heavens melody
Sing on. oh gentle singer,
10 not thy music cease
II soothes my fevered spirit
And brings the hahn OF peace.
Then sing once more the music
That is not wholly thine.
