THE CAUTIOUS MAN

lde Has Little Conversation ana Ex'
plains why He Is So Cautious.
1t was on the day trip of one of the
Norfolk boats, and the stranger on deck
moved about among the passengers
with very evident desire to know who
MS feiiow-voyagers were, yet with
quite as evident purpose not to COM
init himself by giving away incontin-
emily to his curiosity. After some time
he found man sitting off to one side
and with him he entered into converse
ton. They talked Washington and
scenery and delights of river travel, and
one thing and another for awhile, and
then the cautious man got around to
the subject which most interested him
There are some very nice looking
people aboard" he said, glancing
around the deck, land some not so nice
looking"
YES" responded the other party
also glancing around.
I'D like to know something about
some OF them" the cautious man pro-
ceeded; "but, being a stranger, / don't
like to ask too many questions. A man
can't be too cautious, think, when he
is travelling, in making comments on
his fellow travellers"
I've heard about some very embar-
RAISING cases." said the other party.
$50 have /; and for that reason am
that much more particular. Still I'd
like to know who some of these people
are"
who, for instance? / know few OF
them, and guess I'm safe enough to
trust"
We'll" said the cautious man, as
sured by this, there's lady over there
by the door,"
(Which one? That one that is talk
Ing fourteen ways for Sunday?
''She seems to be talking more than
the law allows" ventured the cautious
man.
1.-THE one that's got dress on like
three-sheet circus poster, trimmed
with rainbows and Easter eggs?"
Eyes," laughed the cautious man.
Complexion like a tanbark waikiki
Rather"
"a bonnet that would fade carpet?"
UNLESS it was warranted carpet;
yes"
Got jaw on her that would cut a
nail in two?"
YES"
ACTS like she owned the steamboat"
Somewhat dictatorial, I should say"
Got voice you could swarm bees
on?"
Sounds that way at this distance"
and the cautious man laughed with unc-
ton, for he loved to know about peo-
pie.
The other party got up and took a
more critical look at the lady in ques-
ton.
do you know who she is?" asked the
cautious man.
"Um-er," hesitated the other party,
II seem to think l ought to, she's my
wife. Come over and let me introduce
you. What did you say your name
was?" But the cautious man hadn't
said and didn't say, and he removed
himself with such precipitancy that
the other party laughed as though he
enjoyed it.-Washington Star.

MOTHER HOOD.

One morning fair, my baby
Climbedup into my bed.
And down upon my shoulder
She laid her little ! |.
She had her precious dolly
Clasped in n close embraces;
She told me how she loved 1t,
She kissed its battered face.
/ asked If she couldn't
For only one short day,
Give me her precious dolly
To take with me away.
She slipped her arm around me,
And tears came to her eye.
She battled with them bravely
And sweedy said, I'll try!
"But. mamma, while my dolly
Is gone away from me,
Is there some other dolly
Whose mamma l can be?'
wondered if as bravely
My sorrow I could bear
II asked to give my darling
Back to my Fathers care.

Blooded or Scrubs.-We cannot advo-
cate a general departure for any far
mer from so-called native to blooded
cattle. Many of our so-called scrubs"
are really good cows, and such will pay
to keep. 1t is mistake to suppose
that an animal without pedigree is
therefore necessarily of no use. On the
other hand it is equally mistake to
suppose that all pedigreed animals are
good. Like produces like, with varia
ton, and frequently these variations
produce worthless cows from blooded
stock, and good cows from native stock.
However, the chances are llrgely in IA
vor Of the blooded stock. But the test
needs to be applied to our Holsteins and
Jerseys as we'll as to our nameless cat
tie.

Planting Trees.

II were going to plant tree for
the amount of saccharine matter !
could get from 1t l would plant bass
wood, and l would save all the fuel
by keeping some bees. / think there
Is no shade tree that we can derive so
much profit from as the Eastwood.
Next to that would come the soft ma
pie; it blooms so early in the spring
that our colonies of bees build up very
rapidly indeed when they begin to
gather honey and get certain amount
of pollen from the blooms of these
soft naples. They make very pretty
shade trees. l think as pretty shade
trees as / ever saw in our part of the
country were in Eastwood grove. The
original trees had all been cut away
from the clearing except few bass
the ground was kept covered with
grass. l attended a picnic in this
grove, and l can assure you our Sab
bath school boys enjoyed game Of
football under these trees very much,
and enjoyed half day looking at
them. / think the prettiest shade trees,
however, that have ever seen are the
elms which are almost universally
planted in the Eastern states. l have
seen some trees standing on one side
OF a roadway which extended to the
other side, and it Is something very
pleasant indeed on a hot day to have
the privilege Of resting under one of
these trees. There is road that l
travel over good deal in the summer
which is almost devoid Of shade trees,
and 1t is very suffocating sometimes to
have to drive for twelve miles along
that road without any shade at all;
but towards the end of the journey, as
few elms standing, the branches of
which nearly cover the road, and have
often been very thankful to be able
to stand for a minute or two under
those weeping elms. / would recon-
mend the soft maple and the elm, and
would not despise the white birch.
There is one objection to the white
maple; borer gets into the tree and
cuts his way around 1t, and the result
is dead top. planted a number of
sugar maple trees some years ago, and
l think there is not one in ten living
today, while planted some soft maple
trees year or two afterwards and they
are all living.-Mr. Dempsey.
Keeping Qualities OF Grapes.-Much
loss occIrs every year from lack of
knowledge of the limitations of grapes
as regards their fitness to keep through
the winter The most popular grapes
are usually those that have been chosen
for earliness and certainty in ripening.
Most Of these are, as might be expected,
poor keepers. The grape most widely
grown of any, the Concord, can hardly
be kept in condition till the holidays.
Grapes that are very sweet become in
sipid when kept long, though they may
look we'll. Isabella when thoroughly
ripened Is too sweet to keep long. The
Catawba, however well ripened, has
an acid flavor and is good keeper. The
Agawam is more acid than the Salem
and therefore keeps better. Wilder
md Barry, two black Rogers grapes,
are about the best for keeping. All
these have thick skins. The Eumelan
we have found good keeper, as is also
the Iona, though that is quite as diff
cult to ripen as Is the Catawba. The
Brighton is best to eat as picked from
the vine.--Country Gentleman.

BLOODY IMPRoMPTU DUEL.
The Young Men Quarreled About Girl
 Both Dead.

Savannah, Ga, Sept 24.-A Thomas ville special to the Morning News says: News has reached this city of a very bloody impromptu duel between c. w. Ragan and M. T. Shaw, two young men living near Meigs. The fight occurred across the line in Mitchell county. Each man fired five shots at his antagonist, four shots taking effect in each case. Ragan was killed on the spot while Shaw was mortaly wounded and died yesterday.
 It is said the young men quarreled oyer a girl. They had gone to see the girl to- gether and were returning home when the quarrel took place. They got out of their buggy and fought it out. The young men belonged to the respectable farming class.
