fulfil his promise, but because his i'll
ness had left him disinclined to exert
himself more than he could help.
At length, however, the house was
furnished, and Jack awoke one morn
ing, to realize that it was his wedding
day. There was a flower in the glass
on the table which he was to wear in
his coat, and his new clothes were
ready on chair, laid there by the
careful hands of the widow. A loud,
cheerful voice hailed him from below
it was the foreman of the works, who
was to be the best man, calling him to
get up.
Downstairs, the parlor was already
being set out with the wedding break
fast, and Jack had the kitchen to him
self for his hasty meal. There was a
letter on the table, which had been
brought from his works; the hand was
unfamiliar, and he let it lie there un-
til he poured out some tea and helped
himself to some rashers of bacon from
the oven. Then he opened the letter,
and propped it up against the teapot,
while he read

MARY MICKLETHwATE.
The widow had donned her wedding
gown, and the party was ready to start
for church. She came bustling into
the kitchen, and cried out in dismay
when she saw Jacks untouched break
fast.
Why, deary me. What ails the
man: It might be his own funeral he
was going to-" she said, in real con
cern, when she saw how pale he looked.
Jack pulled himself together, and pro
tested he was all right, bat he did not
feel bit hungry: and as it was too
late to make any further delay the
widow had to be content with thinking
that she would make him have sub
stantial meal afterwards

He used to read the first part of the
Bible chiefly, now he reads the last
part of the Bible chiefly Why has he
changed Genesis for Revelation? All !.
he used to be anxious chiefly to know
how this world was made and all
about its geological construction.
Now he is chiefly anxious to know
how the next world was made, and
how it looks, and who lives there, and
how they dress. He reads Revelation
ten times now where he read Genesis
once. The old story, In the begin
ming God created the heavens and the
earth" does not thrill him half as
much as the other story, II saw new
heaven and a new earth" The old
mans hand trembles as he turns over
this apocaIyptic leaf, and hehas to take
out his handkerchief TO wipe his spec

country in which he has lots already

Well, dear souls, I do not blame you.
It is natural. But after awhile you will
be ready to go. It was not until Job
had been worn out with bereavements

worth less and heaven worth more.

Last year, to introduce these superb Overcoats, we sold them at the exceptionally low price named above, and the enormous sale of them induces us to continue the same this season, although similar goods are sold everywhere for $25.OO.
 Previous to our wholesale house acquiring the exclusive control of this wonderful fabric, it was never offered to the public except by custom tailors at exorbitant prices.
 Fashioned by our own skilled workmen, with custom trimmings we commend them to our patrons as rare bargain.

"Nothing Like Leather.v

Those who hoped for revolution
in the art Of great gunmaking, in the
interest of the cattle-raising industry,
when reports of the success of the
raw-hide cannon were received re-
Gently from Sandy Hook, are probably
doomed to disappointment. An ex-
cellent authority has now pointed out
the fact that the two objects achieved
by the use Of raw-hide as an outer
surface for the gun are, in reality,
elements of weakness. He states that,
in the first place, lightness, which is
primarily secured by the use of the
leather, detracts from the range and
accuracy of the piece, for, as he says,
these are dependent upon the record,
inasmuch as the explosion of the
powder merely parts the shot from
the gun. II, therefore, the gun is so
light as to recoil smartlv and freely,
the shot loses a proportlonate amount
of force. Much of the weight of great
guns, be declares, could be dispensed
with as a mere matter of strength, but
the pieces would be rendered too light
for effective use. The other end
secured by the leather is said to be the
low temperature of the piece after
shots are fired. But this, he claims,
is danger, for by no possibility can
the real amount of heat generated by
the shot be reduced and the use of the
raw-hide cover only retains it-being
a non-conductor Of heat-within the
inner tube. On the other hand, the
use of an all-metal tube permits the
heat to escape to the outer layers and
thus to the air and prevents tkat
greatest of dangers, over-heating, to
a much higher degree than does the
raw-hide gun. Washington Star.

No More nBnd Men.V

"In the evolution OF modern civil
ization the bad man, namely, the des-
perado and tough, who gloats over
killing his fellowman, disappears, "
said Colonel +. b. Jenkins, of Cali
fornia. "a few years ago we heard a
great deal of characters like Sam Bass,
Jesse James, Ben Thompson and Rube
Burrows, but to. day there is not in the
United States a single individual with
a National reputation for wickedness
such rs any of these acquired.
"There are few men left who have
records for desperate courage, and
nerve in trying emergencies, men of
the Bat Masterson order, but they can
be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Masterson never figured as bandit or
reckless taker of human life. He is a
peaceable man, and il left alone will
harm no one. In Denver and all over
the West and South he has a host of
friends. The day OF the desperate is
ended, and monstrosities like Thomp-
son, who boasted when in his cups of
the number of victims he had
slain, will henceforth cease to afllict
humanity. Washington Post.

FEEDING ENsILAGR.

On the subject of ensilage there
have been some interesting statistics
taken lately. Professor Wall, OF the
Wisconsin Agricultural College, wrote
to one hundred of the most successful
dairymen in the country to leaIn what
rations they fed. OF the one hundred
answers received sixty-four fed ensil.
age. In Wisconsin fifteen of these
successful dairymen answered and
twelve Of them fed ensilage. In Can
ada every one of them fed it. The
lowest rations of silo feeders came
from the Southern States, where, Of
course, there is not the imperative
necessity for winter feed that there is
at the North.
But this should not be a question of
necessity, but one simply Of profit.
Does it pay to feed ensilage, and if SC
why don't you do it? That is the ques-
tion. Cows need winter housing at
the South as well as at the North, in
order to make them comfortable, aud
that means to make them give larger
flows of milk. 1t goes without saying
and has been abundantly proven that
the corn crop is the cheapest and best
COW food that can be grown anywhere.
and especially in this country, and
any method or practice that gets
cheaper and greater feeding power
out OF the corn crop should be the
sheet anchor Of the dairyman, lie
