'I'll go with you," said Little Jim,
waving the woman to silence. ''After
the kindness shown me here won't see
you get into trouble"
''It'll kill him, Jim!" protested the
woman. His wound is not healed yet,

His greenbacks built new and bet

Saving Corn From Weevils.

An Arkansas correspondent of the
Shreveport Times gives simple plan for
keeping weevils out of corn which he de-
clares is effective. He builds log cribs
with perfectly tight floors and the open
ings between the logs chinked and
daubed with mud, so as to exclude light
and air. The door should be made to fit
tightly. The corn should be thrown in
over the top after the crib is filled even
with the door. After the crib is filled to
within two or three feet of the top cover
the corn with fodder or straw two, three
or four feet deep.
The main object is to keep the corn
in the crib as dark as possible, and to
accomplish this it is well enough to close
the gable ends. Weevil will not attack
corn thus stored. The few weevils i'm
field corn before it was gathered will do
no damage worth mentioning after the
corn is thus stored, and when winter
comes they all die, and no more weevils
will ever bother the crib if kept tight
and dark. Remember the main thing is
to keep the corn in the dark.

A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
wOmanhOOd. Following is an instance: Our
daughter, Blanche, now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted With nervousness. and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such q condition that we had to keep
Ter from school and abandon her music les
sons In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and
are positive but. for an Invaluable remedy
she would have had that terrible dffiiet ton.
We had employed physicians, but she received
no benefit from them. The first of last August
she weighed but IS pounds, and although she
has taken only three bottles OF Nervine she
now weighs 106 pounds; her nervousness and
symptoms of St.Vitus dance are entirely gone
she attends school regularly, and studies with
comfort and ease. She has recovered complete
use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and
no money could procure for our daughter the
health DR.. Miles Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the rem
edy had no faith in patent medicines, and
would not listen to him. but as a last resort
he sent us g bottle, we began giving it to
Blanche, and the effect was almost immedi-
ate."-Mrs r. r. Bullock. Brighton. n Y.

perintendent.

At the New Jerusalem church yester-

ming, State Su perintendent Stilson, of
the Maine Bible Society, delivered ad-
dresses before the congregations on the
work of that institution in Maine. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. Stilson
said
The work of the Bible Society of
Maine is under the direct supervision of
the wisest as well as the most consecrat-
ed business men and clergymen of the
commonwealth. This state society is a
most aggressive organization. 1t has,
during the past twelve months, commits
stoned more men, visited more families,
found and supplied more Bibleless
homes, sold and donated more copies of
the scriptures from house to house, than
any other local Bible society in the
United States, with two exceptions.
From some of the homes visited letters
have been received, stating that the BIZ
BILE had been the means of leading the
inhabitants to prayerful lives.
Sunday schools have been organized
and religious services conducted by the
society's workers in towns and planta-
tons where none have been held for
months. Grants of scriptures have been
made to prisons, poor churches, mission
Sunday schools, etc.
This is the only society in the state
that systematically reaches with the
glad message of salvation the many non
church-going families of Maine. The
Importance of this. work upon the rising
generation cannot be overestimated. The
statistics gathered have been of value to
