Senator German is not tagging
in this fight. He is hitting from
the shoulder and a here is a sample
of the kind of blows he deals. At
Marlboro last Tuesday, he said
"Mr. Lowndes is the banker, the
attorney, and the ally of Mr.. Mayer
and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. His nomination was suggest
ed, was agreed to, was provided for,
by the people representing the Sun
and the railroad upon one condi-
ton. That was, that il the Sun
and the railroad could control the
Democratic party's nominee, then
Eowpdes was not to run, but il they
failed to nominate their man for
Governor tken Lowndes was to
run, and they were to help to elect
him.

u man to deny that assertion.

suBsolL FLOWING.
The Pros and Cons of the Practice Stated
without Prejudice.

The Pros and Cons of the Practice Stated
! without Prejudice.
! There is evidence of renewed interest
IN the subsoiling question. 1t may be
that it needs careful consideration.
itrhe evidence seems conclusive that
subsoil blowing on the fertile prairie
soils of such states as Illinois and
Iowa, for instance, is not generally
profitable. Occasional reports, well
attested, have shown paying results,
but these have been the exception
rather than the rule, says the Prairie
Farmer. On the other hand, the per-
centage of cases of considerable inn
provement in crops from subsoiling in
Kansas and Nebraska seem pretty
large Obviously the deeper the soil
is stirred, If it is naturally sufficiently
porous, the larger will be the supply
of available plant food and the larger
will be the reservoir for collecting and
storing water which enters the ground
after rains. Much of the prairie soil
of Illinois is sufficiently porous to
considerable depth to readily permit
water to enter. and is SO admirably
fitted to retain the water, as also to

larry attraction. In such conditions
there is no sufficient reason for sub
soiling for ordinary cropping. How
far the conditions are different in the
regions from which reports are sent OF
marked benefit from subsoil plowing
has not always clearly appeared. There
is some confusion in the minds of some
farmers as to the meaning of the term
subsoil plowing. Properly used it
does not mean simply deep plowing,
however great depth may be reached,
but rather loosening the soil in the
bottom of the furrow made by the sur
face or common blowing, without
raising this loosened earth to the sur
face. Where there is double blowing
the second furrow slice being brought
to the surface, this is not subsoiling
In many cases it is Objectionable tc
turn up the soil to a very considerable
depth, thus exposing much of the sub
soil to the surface. Rarely does any
injurious effects follow subsoiline
proper, except on fat lands with {
very compact subsoil nearly imperviou
to water. In such cases subsoilina
may simply make deeper bed t.

and can only be gotten rid OF by eyap

Tho Futura of Irrigation.

of watering their land, to the extent
of 1864, ,4l6 acres The average size of
these farms was sixty-eight acres, and
their average annual production was
placed at $14, SO per acre. The census
of 1900 will show large extension Of
the area irrigated. The various sys-
TENS are still in the experimental
stage, but the main fact looms up that
irrigation will be one of the leading
elements of the American agriculture
of the future.

Guests at a Hotel.

ut may surprise you," said an old
hotel clerk, "but we can tell man not
used to stopping at hotels at the first
glance. His unfamiliarity with the
way to register, with the way to ask
for his letters, kilograms or how to
give up his key to his room gives him
away Immediately. Now, to-day, a
middle-aged man who is stopping at
this hotel came up TO me and asked
me if would keep the key to his room
for little while. That was one sure
way of telling that he had probably
not been in half dozen hotels in his
life. Then we can always tell the
minute man comes up to ask for his
mail whether he is hotel liver or not;
The commercial traveller, before his
name is written down in the register,
will ask to see the letters in the box
bearing his initial. He will grab up
the kilograms and pore over them as
if he were going to catch q train that
left in ten minutes. Then he will take
his armful of umbrellas and canes and
throw them at the bellboy and tell
him to take them to his room. The
man unacquainted with hotel life will
be exactly the opposite. He is usually
as bashful as schoolgirl with stage
fright. He doesn't know how to dc

Little Story That Ends So Sadly as to Cause

Little Story That Ends So Sadly as to Cause
the Heart to Drop With Dull Thud.
Walter Daniels had toiled slowly and
wearily up the three flights of stairs
which led to his poor abode and looked
long and lovingly into the pale, beauti-
ful face of the girl who had given up
parents, home and everything that had
made life happy to become his wife.
And as she stood there, her soft white
arms twined lovingly around his neck
and her deep hazel eyes appraised to
his, he saw that she had been weeping,
and around the wan, dropping lips that
in the happy days of the past were SO
often raised, pouting merrily the while,
to be kissed by his own, there were
traces of pie.
Walter Daniels shuddered as he drew
the 1.-the, yielding form still more
closely to him and he wept bitter,
scalding tears of agony to think that
his wife, Mabel More, Washington
born and bred-a girl who constantly
wrote for the amateur authors paper
and whose essay on "Stage Life" was
only excelled by her story entitled
"The Wrong one"-should be reduced
to eating pie-and in the morning.
And while he was wrapped in these
| painful reveries Mabel raised her head
from her pillow. One glance told all.
You are suffering, my darling" she
said. "Can you not tell me, your wife,
your sorrow?"
1T is nothing" Walter replied, kiss
ing her.
Lemon pie, too" he murmured in a
hoarse, agonized tone of voice This
is terrible" At this moment noise,
as of some one dragging himself slowly
and wearily up the stairs, was heard.
Soon it ceased and messenger boy
kicked open the door and, walking up
to where Walter Daniels sat, handed
him telegram. He tore it open with
trembling hands and read the message,
the boy looking over his shoulder to
see that everything was right.

low, broken tones. "Your grandfather
is dead and all his great publishing es

Beef cattle are yet in demand, and
there is plenty of time to grow calves
Of good breeds for conversion into
beef in three years provided the calves
are well bred. If every farmer would
resolve to keep pure bred bull the
calves would be more valuable and not
be sold off the farm when but few
days old. There is a large loss to the
farmers of this country in the annual
slaughter of very young calves and
yet the failure to retain the calves Is
due to the use of scrub bulls, which

LincuIn,n Substitute.

1t is not generally known that Abra-
ham Lincoln sent a substitute to the
war against the south, but such is a
fact. During the earlier days of the
war it seems to have been the desire of
all prominent men in Washington to
have representative in the ranks, and
Lincoln was no exception to the rule.
At that time there was a minister
named Staples in Washington, one of
whose sons, then aged nineteen, had a
desire to go to the front Lincoln
heard of him, and after a conference
selected him as his representative, and
he proved worthy, for he won honor on
the field. He survived the war and
finally died in Stroudsburg. The in
scription on the stone over his grave
reads as follows: ~. Summerfeld

Hundred and Seventy-sixth Regiment,

regiment, ID. @. Vols, as substitute

From the Euening Ne,rs, Ne,Uark, ~ j.
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.
Annie Dale, of So Bruce street, was bright,
merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever. She recovered, but she was
very different girl from a physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever,
but it left her with an affection of the back.
AS she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties, but she never COM
planned, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her cozy
home.
"I was fourteen years old when was at

suffered with my back for eighteen years.
