quiet little romance. OF which only those
most interested are supposed as yet 10 know,
has grown from The fertile Agricultural De-
partmcnt.
Ouce upon time there was pretty girl
in far-off Western State. Hard times
pressed heavily upon her home, and broke
| the cheerful spirit of her aged father and
mother.
With the brave thought to earn suffi-
cient money TO lift mortgage from the
small farm, the young girl came 10 WASH
lngton, and after many rebufrs and disap-
| poiutinents, secured position in the seed di-
vision of the Agricultural Department.
| Quietly and faithfully she did her daily
duty, saving much more of her salary Than
| She spent, and dreaming of Il time when
| the savings would be enough to tighten the
mortgage a nd the dear cd hearts at home.
When the seed division WAS abohshed her
| hopes sank low. All efforts TO fina an
| other place were rruitless, and Washington
| seemed big and strange and lonely. Eefore
| giving up and going home she made one final
/ throw for success and future happiness. She
| wrote letter to the new iy-elected Congress
| man OF her home district, and asked ann 10
| aid her with his Influence In obta lining gov
ernment position. She had never seen tue
| Congressman. She imagined him TO be u

| He happened to receive her letter AS he
| wasstariingto to Washington on antc-Cung res
sionai business, ana lie answered it in per-
son. He was neither old nor Pefrcr-iike; he
| was young and good looking and susceptible.
| His business in Washington iens sthened itself
| out unaccountably.
The pretty girl has gone home now, bat
| this winter there is going to be a happy
| yoang BRIDE in Il modest little home on
| Capitol Hill, and that Western Congress
man is going To challenge every fellow
member who shall dare To firt n word of pro-

4 Strange Recovery.

LANDRUM, S. c., March IA re-
markable case of restored speech and
hearing was related to The Herald's
correspondent the other day. Abel
Willis, aged seventy-six years, who
lives with his son-ir-law, Mr.. f. c.
Fain, agent of the Southern railway
at Campobello, was stricken with pa
ralysis March 4th, 1888, twelve years
ago, in Haywood county, N. G.
He became deaf and speechless, and
mas neither heard nor spoken word
since then, until the morning of Feb
ruary 22d last. During all those years
he has not heard thunder On We'd
nesday evening, February 21st, Mr..
Willis was sick with a severe pain in
his head. His little grandson, Arthur
F. Fain, slept in the same room that
night, that he might wait upon him.
Thursday morning about day break
Arthur was awakened by the old man
calling him and asking him to get him
drink of water. Arthur says it was
the first time he has ever heard his
grandfather speak a word, and 1t
frightened him. He ran into his moth
er's room and told her that grandpa
had surely spoken to him, asking him
for a drink of water. Mrs. Fain was
not dipsosed to believe her son, yet his
manner was so earnest that she decld-
ed to 60 into her fathers room and see
him. Her father spoke to her lmme-
diately but stated that he could not
hear. He knew he was talking from
the lar of his vocal organs, but he
could not hear the sound of his own
voice, much less the spoken words OF
others.
The pain in his head continued for
two days, during which time he felt re
peated sensations of a popping IN his
head and ears. On the night of the
second day he heard, forthe first time,
the clock strike ten, since which time
his hearing has been improving until
on Saturday, when he declared he
could hear and talk as we'll as ever.
Arthur told me that when his grand
father first began talking, he was as
awkward as a little child just learning
to talk.
Last Friday Mr.. Willis's two sons,
Garlic andC. P, came down from Hay,
wood county, to see their father, hay
inc heard of his miraculous recovery
of hearing and speech 1t was a JOY
Gus meeting indeed The old gentle
man has decided to 60 back to Hay,
wood county with his son next week.
This is manufactured fake nor over,
drawn statement of facts, but the mar
ration of truth stronger than fiction.

a Bank Robber Killed.

DEs MONIES Ia, March 9.-The Adel
State Bank at Adel, twenty miles west
of here, was robbed at 9:10 Wednesday
morning by two men who badly
wounded Cashiers. NJ. Leach, serious
ly wounded a customer named Bally,
who was standing at the window when
they entered. The cashier had just
unlocked the safe and vault, and both
Leach and Baily had their backs to
the door when the robbers entered and
opened fire. The desperadoes then en-
tered the vault I'd carried away the
entire contents, supposed to be S15,-
900, jumped into buggy at the door
and drove west toward Redfeld. The
entire country is aroused and in pur-
suit. The robbers were captured at
O'Neal's Ford, on Raccoon river, five
miles south of Adel. Being hotly pur-
sued, they left their buggy and one
hid in a brushheap, the other took re-
fuge in John Killon's barn. The for
mer was quickly captured, and com

The mob yelled throw up your

Landers Wilkers, Patterson, Madison

says is his true name. Before the mob
was aware of it, the sheriff had the sec.
ond robber in his buggy and hurried
him to jail. where he IS locked up.
The excitement is intense and the pri-
soner will probably be lynched before
night. Both robbers were plainly
dressed, and are evidently amateurs.

old. He says Wilkins forced him to

A Singular Accident.

CINCINNATI, March S.-Amost pecu-
liar homicide occurred IN front OF
James Martins residence in this city.
Hermann Wessling, a varnisher III a
furniture factory, was on his way
to work, when, without warning,
a pistol ball entered his chest, passed
through his heart. and he fell uncon-
scious before Mr.. Martin S home. The
story Of the shooting. as told by Mrs.
Martin. is thatshe was makingup up their
folding bed in the lower front room,
and took the revolver from under the
pillow and placed it on the mantel;
Just as she did 50 she heard a plsto!
shot. but did not know it was the one
she was handling Her husband
rushed in from the back room to ask
about it and they fouEl it was then

the ball went through the wall. The
police question the accuracy OF the
story of the shooting, though there
is nothing to show anything but accl;

matter which decays and goes to form

humus.
3. Green manuring with clovers,
peas, beans, lupines. ETC., Qeguminous
crops,) actually enrich the soil in nj
trogen drawn from the air These
plants can grow with very little soil
nitrogen. They store up the nitrogen
of the air as they grow, and when
plowed under give it up to the soil and
to future crops. It is the cheapest
means of manuring the soil with nj
trOgen.
T. But animals as well as plants re-
quire nitrogen for food. By feeding
the crops of clover, cowpea, etc, only
about one-fourth of the fertilizing ma
terials of the crop is lost if the manure
is properly cared for. AS the nitrogen
Of the air is the cheapest source of nj
trogen for plants, so it is the cheapest
source of protein (nitrogen) for ami
mails. The leguminous crop is best
utilized when it is fed out on the farm
and the manure saved and applied to
the soil. The greatest profit is thus
secured and nearly the same fertility
is maintained as in green manuring.
5. For renovating worked or barren
soils, and for maintaining the fertility
where the barnvard manure is not
properly cared for, green manuring
with such leguminous crops as COW
pea, clovers and lupines is recommend
ed. A dressing of potash and phos-
pilates will usually be sufficient for
the green manuring crop.
s. The practice Of green manuring
on medium and better classes of soils
is irrational and wasteful. The farm
er should mend his system so that the
barnyard manure will be as well cared
for as any other farm product. Loss
from surface washing, teaching, fer
mentation and decay should be guard
ed against Then the feeding of rich
er food Will mean richer manure and
better and cheaper crops.
{. The system of soiling or feeding
green crops in the barn in place of
pasturage, enables large number of
animals to be kept on given area of
land and the manure to be more COM
pletely saved. For this purpose legu-
minous crops are extremely valuable.
S. Hay from leguminous crops is
about twice as rich in protein as hay
from grasses. In the one case, this
protein (nitrogen) is obtained very
largely from the atmosphere; in the
other, it is all drawn from the fertility
of the soil Leguminous crops yield
larger crops Of hay to the acre than
grasses. Hence the production of food
materials on an acre, especially pro
tein, is several times larger with legu-
minous crops.
9. If allowed to ripen, the seed Of
the cowpea and sofa bean furnishes
an extremely rich concentrated feed,
which can be ground and fed in place
of expensive commercial feed. The
straw remaining may be fed as coarse
fodder, for it is richer than ordinary
hay.
10. Grow more leguminous crops.
They furnish the cheapest food for
stock and the cheapest manure for the
soil. They do this because they obtain
from the air substance necessary for
plants and animals alike, which costs
in the form of fertilizers and feeding
stuffs from Is to 25 cents pound.
