HE'S NOT POPULrsr.
Banker AgreIius Makes Haste to Set h

Banker Agrelius Makes Haste to Set Him
self Right
A. Z. Agrelius, the Lindsborg banker.
who was reported to have gone over to
the Populists, on account of his views on
silver. has written a letter to the Nc
Pherson Republican, in which he says be
is still a Republican.
After quoting from his previous let
ters which have caused him to be record
ed among the hoppers, Dir. Agrelius
says:
If anyone can class me as a Populist
convert when l am writing letters to
members of my own party, making use
OF such language as that quoted above,
and while 1 am only exhorting nomi-
nees to stand on our platform, they are
welcome to all the consolation it Will
give them.
The People party is not in favor Of
free coinage except as a stepping stone
TO fiat money, and is guilty of by
pocrisy and dishonesty in talking il
for that purpose, and as a catch penny TO
entice free silver Republicans into their
ranks.
There are few honest men in the Peo-
pies party, but there is a right smart lot
OF never-dO wells who have never made
q success at anything, claiming that the
world owes them a living, which they
propose TO get without working for it,
quite a smatte-ing of men who are not
&C home for any length of time in any
party, and a great grist Of Office seekers,
party men for revenue only and generally
get the revenue by hook or crook.
No, am not and never can be Popu-
list, and more, l am a more consistent
Republican than the editor Of the Topeka
Capital, who is working against his party
tooth and nail. He is a Cleveland Re
publican, of a class better known as the
friend Of the English apitalist while pre-
tending to serve his country. He is not
a Populist because that party has too lit
tie money to buy his services, which come
rather high. Respectfully,

The last number of @Puck" contains
the following amusing article concern
Ing our ALr. Lease Of Kansas:
Mr.. Lease received me cordially. but
when I told him I had called to obtain
information about his home life and his
youthful days he blushed prettily and
said: II don't think my wife would like
to have these things talked about in the
newspapers. She does not care what is
said about herself, but She believes that
the names of her husband and children
should be kept out Of the public press"
But" l said. ''everybody knows that
you have helped your wife on in her sue
cessful career-that you have been an
inspiration to her-and the public would
like to know something about you Tell
me-" I went on impulsively, .hoW your
wife came to marry you.
"Well." said Mr. Lease thong htfully,
81 don't see how It can do any harm 1t
was this way: I was the only son Of a
well-Off farmer ia Jefferson county, and
all the girls wanted me-" Here Mr..
Lease blushed and smiled reminiscently.
Il WAS in doubt he continued, It'll
Mary came along and cOurted me. Then
/ knew my heart was hers and hers
alone. Ny father objected strongly to
her frequent visits to our house, but OPP
position never smothered true love.
When my father declared he would
never let us marry. Mary settled the mat
ter in quick order by driving up to the
house one night and carrying me of to
the minister And 1 have never re-
GREETED that elOpement She told me
she would be a famous woman some day
and would bring me up ia the world with
her, and she has kept her word"
"Of course you are fond Of her public
triumphst" I suggested.
Indeed 7 am" replied Mr.. Lease, with
q tender smile. "Her5 in my home with
my children I watch her career, and
feel proud that I am blessed to be the
husband Of such a woman"
'sDO not her public duties separate you

YES" he replied, "but that does not
lessen our affection. l make home al

and when she is here I take care that she

In late l do not worry her with questions,

bands would act IN the same way, wives
would stay at home moreY
a'Do you try to be a companion to your
wife in her public life?" / asked
"Well," answered 5lr. Lease, modestly,
"of course cannot understand all the
great questions she deals with, but try
to understand them to please her. And
when she rewards me with a word of en-
enlargement, feel that am amply re-
paid"
At this point a child's cry was heard
from the next room, and Mr.. Lease ex-
cused himself aud terminated the inter-
view.

had charge OF tho reception committee,
ordered that all those on the COMMITTEES

that while he had all the necessary

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Trotters have too much energy for
farm work.
Horses differ in intelligence almost
as much as men do.
Drive the colt the first time with .
fsst-walking horse.
After choosing a place for the bee
stands do not change 1t.
A little drive every day aids the
development of young horses.
Don't neglect 70 replace the roll Of
salt in each stall as soon AS it is gone.
Italians produce a larger number of
bees than blacks, and so, Indirectly,
more honey.
The French stuff their fowls with
fresh butter before roasting them, and
haste them continually.
Fertilizers should be applied broad
cast around the trees and not In imme-
date contact with them.
To leave the bees a reasonable supply
of honey for the winter is better than
attempting to feed them.
Mating for the best results in vigor
and fertility requires careful study
and practical observation.
The goose-rsising English and Irish
counties are those with very thick
pastures with short grass.
Ducks should never be ysrded with
other poultry, as they will pollute the
water and cause sickness.
If young pigs are allowed to ran
with fattening hogs they will lay on
700 much fat 10 grow well.
Feed and shelter the cows well this
winter and you will be surprised at the
increased amount of butter.
The color OF the shell is no indica-
ton of the quality of the egg, but
simply shows the breed OF fowl.
Experience counts for = good deal
in managing poultry. 1t is on the
little details that success depends.
Sell from the young stock, and do
not sacrifice fowls and turkeys which
have proved satisfactory, unless very
old.
Give the fowls all the skim milk
and buttermilk you can spare. They
will return it to you in the form OF
eggs.
Rolling or hilly land is the best stu.
alton for the poultry house. Sandy
and grsvelly soils are also TO be pre-
terred

HOTBED MAKING.

The work Of selecting the place for
the hotbed and cold-frames for start
ing early seeds should not be post
poned any longer. Ii takes some time
TO make the beds and fill them with
the right soil. The farmer who does
not make use Of frames for starting
his garden vegetables ought not be
classed among progressive farmers.
The seasons are too short for us to wait
until spring before sowing our seeds.
BY the time the ground is ready for
sowing our garden plants are several
inches high, and by trsnsplanting them
from the frames to the open ground
we save n month or moro. In this
way raising two good crops in one sea
son on n piece of ground is made
easy. The early plants are also the
ones that bring the most money, and
those :sised in the frames always bring
in more returns to the farmer than the
ones sown in the open ground during
April and May. Many prefer the
plants grown in frames first TO those
planted later in the field, as they have
stronger roots and stalks, making it
possible for them to resist dry weather.
The hotbeds should be constructed
right away, for there are some slow
terminating seeds that ought to be put
in the ground very early. 1t takes
time to gather and mix the right soil
for the beds, and there will be many
days when the ground will be frozen
too hard to dig any soil for the beds.
