ALover,s Strategy.

That all is fair in love and war was re-
Gently exemplifed in the case of an up
town young man, who had a falling out
with his best girl, all on account of an
other fair charmer.
Girl No. 1 heard of the existence of
Girl No 2 and Immediately became cool
toward the unfortunate young man. The
swain In question was most anxious to be
restored to the good graces of his best girl,
but all his advances met with frigid re-
ception. For several days he was in de-
spair, thoroughly convinced that there was
no balm in Gilead. Finally he hit upon
a brilliant scheme. Inditing letter to
Girl No 2, in which he requested her to
cease annoying him with her unwelcome
attentions, he placed it in an envelope and
carefully addressed it to Girl No. /. The
next day he sent her a Telegram saying
that he had made mistake in placing
two letters in their envelopes, and that
she had probably received letter not in
tended for her. Would she please return
it?
The scheme worked like charm. The
foxy epistle was returned with very
gracious note, and now everything is NOV
ing along smoothly once more.-Philadel-
phia Record.

Advantages of soiling.

The advantages of soiling or feeding
animals largely or wholly on green for
age crops in the barn instead Of pastur-
ing them are that less land is required
to maintain given number Of animals,
the food supply can be better regulated,
the animals do not waste their energy
in searching for food, and the manure
can all be saved and applied to the soil.
The arguments for partial soiling are
that the amount of feed furnished by
pastures is very irregular, being usually
abundant and Of good quality early in
the season, but falling off later from
thoughts or early frosts. IF soiling is to
be practiced, it is important to have
succession of green folders throughout
the growing season. with each in its
best stage of growth for feeding. There
should he no breaks in the succession,
and each crop should be used as nearly
as possible at the time when it contains
the largest amount of valuable food con.
stituents,

and cereal together, as oats and peas,

quite popular where it has been tried.
The experiment stations in nearly every
state have tested the adaptability of
various fodder plants, leguplinous and
nonleguminous, and can furnish infor-
nation as to selection, where seed can
be obtained, etc. By judicious selec-
ton Of Soiling crops not only can a
much larger number of COWS be kept on

be brought into higher state of Guilt
walton and fertility, and much grain
may be spared.

A Strange Thing That Happened at Pithols
the Night Lincoln Was Shot.

the Night Lincoln Was Shot.
II may forget all of the numerous re-
markable and startling incidents that
were part of the pioneer development of
the Pennsylvania oil regions and I have
forgotten many of them, but there is one
that Is indelibly impressed upon my mind
as it no doubt is on the minds of every
surviving participant in the doings of
those lively days." said one of those old
timers. The famous old Homestead
well, where oil was Struck in the early
part of 1866, was the gusher that started
the rush to Pithole creek and brought
into existence in the wilderness a city of
20, 900 inhabitants almost as quickly as it
could have been done by the magic of
Aladdtn's lamp. John Wilkes Booth was
on visit to the oil country about that
time, looking for Investments, and he paid
SIS, 900 for one thirteenth interest in the
Homestead well. Oil was selling for 81 a
barrel then, and the Homestead was gush-
ing hundreds of barrels day.
when the news came in April that
Lee had surrendered, and that the war
was over, among the hundreds of flags
that were 1oated in Pithole as evidences
of the joy that was felt over the great
event was one from the top of the derrick
at the Homestead well. When, quickly
following these glad tidings, the terrible
news was received of the assassination of
President Lincoln every one Of these flags
except one was lowered to half mast as a
mark Of the peoples mourning for the
martyred chief That one flag was the one
that had been raised over the Homestead
we'll in rejoicing for the triumph of our
arms-the well of which the presidents
assassin was part owner. Why was that
flag uncovered? Because on the evening
of April IA, 1865, at the very minute that
Booth fired his fatal shot at the president,
an explosion as Of clap Of thunder shook
Pithole city, and angry flames instantly
wrapped the Homestead well from base to
summit. When the sad news was received
at Pithole Of the death of Lincoln, the
town was overhung with pail as black
as night from the smoke that rose from
the ruins of the well that had poured
money into the assassin's hands, money,
no doubt, which he used in laying out and
perfecting his murderous plans The flag
that had foated from the derrick was con-
sumed with the rest Of the property.
.'Of course matter of fact people at
Pithole and elsewhere in the region said
that the explosion that made consuming
pillar of fire and pail of smoke of the
Homestead well would have occurred just
the same if the president had not been as
sassinated, but they were few compared
with those who declared that the coinci-
dence was too startling and appalling to
have been other than visitation of the
wrath of Providence against Booth And
there are good many hard headed folks
who hold to that opinion still. Now

PETER The GREAT.
History Shows That the Old Ruler of Rus
sifs Was Monster.

Siis WAS a N1OnSters
Years ego, when low standard of NOR
ais prev allied, the epithet great was be-
slowed upon any monarch who won bat
ties and enlarged the territory and re-
sources OF his kingdom. 1t mattered little
then to the historian what might be
kings private character, provided he made
his nation formidable by it's brute strength
and full treasury. Even if hs was bad
man, they eulogized him as a good ruler.
Peter [ of Russia is called Peter the
Great" because he transformed a barba-
rous into semibarbarous nation. But no
one can now read the following summary
of his character without a feeling of dis
gust. Voltaire, in his Philosophical Die
tionary,'' says that s'Peter was half hero
and half tiger" Macaulay declares that
Ito the end of his life he lived in his pal
ace like hog in sty, and when he was
entertained by other sovereigns never
failed to leave unequivocal proof that a
savage had been there"
Peter, when the fit was on him, literally
caned erybody-from his cook to his
counselor, from the meanest peasant to
the highest noble-sparing neither age
nor sex. He would get up from the table
and fog the host who was entertaining

senate house and fog each senator that
went in. Lefort was an intimate and
trusted friend, yet on slight provocation he
was knocked down and brutally kicked by
his imperial master. But all this f1ogging
was in the way of recreation. When Peter
"meant business" it was more serious
matter. Incredible as it may seem, it is
nevertheless well authenticated that one
of his own sisters-it is said more than
one-received 100 strokes of the whip on
her back in the presence of the whole court.
In 1713 Alexis, his only son who out
lived infancy, was for some offense of no
great seriousness several times tortured
in the presence of the diabolical father
and in the end died either from the effect
of the torture or by assassination. For SYM
pathizing with Alexis, the Princess Colt
syn, the bosom companion of the Empress
Catherine, was publicly whipped by sol
diers. For the same reason the brother of
his first wife, Eudoxia-whom he had
thrown into prison-was tortured and
then torn in pieces on the wheel Nothing
ever told of Nero is more horribly gro
tesque than this, yet this man, or monster
rather, is paraded before the world as
