had preached over an hour, and at the
close of the discourse asked any on e

1t wasn't a lovers quarrel, exactly 4:
1t was merely a d%isintegration Of emo

opinion Of the Detroit Free Press.
One OF those periodic d%issolutions
OF harmony continuity which charac-

that beat for each other every chance
they get.
See?
In any event they had had a tiff,
and the young man had picked up his
hat and had reached the inside of the
: outside door.
Then he stopped for a parting shot.

said in an ugly tone.
"Ycs we do, too" she c%ontended.
There You go again." he laughed

next day they had called for the res
torati0n Of emotional coincidence.

Npanlsh Peanuts.

Regarding the much talked Of Span
ish peanut the West Point Miss,
Forum says:
They are superior to all other varie
ties OF peanuts. They will do well OF
poorer land than any other variety,
and will produce from two to three
tons OF forage per acre, and from 10 tt
GO bushels OF nuts. 30 pounds to the
bushel. The forage is superior to la,
as Il food for stock. and especially fol
COWS giving milk. The nuts are
worth fully double as much as corn
for fattenlng pigs or other animals.
The nuts sell at the higest price and
and will average from Al to $50 per
bushel.
If raised for stock food, simply NOW
the vines, when the nuts are ripe, and
turn the pigs into the field and they
will do their own digging. Ii the
nuts are to be saved pillow up the vines
and nuts, and with a fork lift the
vines from the ground, shake the dirt
of and place in shocks to cure, as they
will cure better and whittier il left on
the ground. The nuts would be ready
to pick in about ten days.
Peanuts are about the same trouble
and expense to raise as potatoes and
n man could cultivate 40 acres. The
value OF a forage from such a field at
$40 per ton would be 1900 to al 200. and
the nuts from the 40 acres would
bring from 81 600 to 50 0O0-averaginy
- 500 net profit from one mans work.

Germany, fined and imprisoned. the

them to work on the roads like ordinary
convicts. This angered the natives, who
finally broke out in armed rebellion.
King Maltetoa sided with the chief
Justice, and sent troops to put down the
insurrection. Several sharp encounters
followed, in which 80 were killed and
so wounded, the rebels being driven
into the interior. It is claimed Malietoa's e
troops INDUCED in all sorts of barbara

prisoners, beheading the dead, a7,'l out

nanth in the waters.

PEORIA, H., March 30.-Workmen
were engaged this morning repairing
one of the large stand pipes of the Peoria
Water Company, on the bluff. which
had been leaking. Without warning the
bottom of the section burst and the steel
structure at once collapsed. A number
of school children were playing close by,
and they, with five workmen, were
hurled distance of half a block by the
force of the large amount of water in the
standpipe suddenly let loose. Frank
Hogan, aged IA, is known to be instantly
killed. Two of the workmen are also
missing and it is believed two others
lost their lives, while dozen or
more were injured. There is the
widest excitement throughout the city,
the work of rescue being carried on by
the police and fire departments and the
ambulance corps. 1t is difficult task
to remove the debris, and may not be
accom- plished tonight. Two houses were
completely wrecked by the force of the
water, half dozen more pushed from
their foundations, and barns and othel
structures smashed to kindling wood.
