William Malone was born December 1.
1926, the son of an Irishman who came to
this'country just before the War Of 1912 and
settled In Southampton County. Virginia.
When William saved little money and had
got together knowledge enough, he se-
cured the appointment to a free scholar
ship In the Virginia Military Insti-
tute at Lexington. he was g;adu-
ated In three years, at the age OF twenty.
For while he was teacher Of mathematics
In Rappahannock Academy, Port Royal,
Va. The dull life there bored him, and he
resigned and became civil engineer Of the
Grange and Alexandria Railroad. At the
opening Of the war he was wealthy and
Confederate Army as volunteer.
He rose rapidly and was soon one of Lees
most trusted aides. He was Lees adviser
and consoler through the last disastrous
campaign, and 1t was with him that Lee con-
suited finally before the surrender Of Apo
mattox. He then engaged in the railroad
business again, and In 1869, when Vtr-
ginia rose against the carpet-baggers, Ma
hone was the leader. When he wanted to
become Governor the Democrats refused
him the nomination. rs then declared
General Malone brought forward the
famous readjustment plan, by which Vir-
ginia was to practically repudiate good
part Of her debt Then he organized po-
iitical party Of his own-the Malone Read
juster party. he won the election, secured
control Of the Legislature and was elected
United States Senator for the term be-
ginningin 1881. Malone acted with the Re-
publicans and gave them the organization Of
the Senate. A few years after he left the
Senate he lost the most OF his fortune, which
had been at one time about $400, 900. he lost
even his house In Petersburg. During the
past few years he has been one OF the famous
Washington collection Of "has beens"-of
that collection perhaps the most notable. his
personal appearance always attracted atten-
his tiny feet, on which he wore woman's
boots with abnormally lofty heels, rendered
him especially conspicuous.

SUNLIGHT AT LAST.

Do not believe that God offers himself rs a
guide in his providence and guide toward a
holy life by his spirit, and yet will leave the
mind alone which soberly explores the dark
places of truth in the hope Of his aid. How
ne can aid 1t is useless to ask; but that he
can aid, who Is truth itself, and has sure ac-
ce.s to minds and hearts you must not doubt.
He may move in all silence. he may act on
the soul and so on the mind indirectly, he
may cause-as often happens-external
things to illustrate truth in some remarkable
manner. BIT be assured OF this, that if. in
obedience and hope you wait on him. no will
bring you TO sunlight at last. And then the
rest. the peace of having passed through and
left behind you tho wilderness Of doubt will
be a lifelong enjoymeat.-T. b. Woolsey

TEMPERANCE.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.


A'grain of corn handful grew;
A glass Of rum the handful brewed;
A being in Gods image drank 1t.
For reeling steps he had to thank 1t.
In rags he tottered 10 his home;
The children shrieked to see him come;
The wife with pale face ope'd the door,
He struck her, felled her to the floor,
A felon, in cell he lay.
And cursed himself. his natal Gav.
His children to the almshouse went.
When he by crime to death was sent.
Another grain a handful bore.
The farmer in his corn-crib stored:
Between the two stones Of the mill
Twas turned 20 food his mouth to I'll.
He fed his children, served the land,
To God. the Giver, stretched his hand.
His goodly sons to honor grew;
His comely daughters virtue knew.
And thus the blessing God had given.
When used Alright. made earth heaven,
But when to poison drink twas turned,
It lighted fires Of he'll TO burn.

MUSHROOMS.
Thoy Do Not Come Up All at Once, Nor
Do They Grow Forever.


Mushrooms do not come up all at once,
nor do they grow forever. If the spawn Is
good and planted early in September,
from four to five, and sometimes six.
weeks will expire before the first crop Of
mushrooms makes It's appearance.
The first crop will flow for two or three
weeks; then the mushrooms will thin out,
and a slight dressing of fresh loam about
half an inch In depth, should be spread
over the bod. When this coating has been
beaten down with spade, the soil should
be gently moistened with tepid water, and
In day or two second crop Of mush-
rooms-often better than the flrst---oan be
gathered. Tho second crop of mushrooms
may last for three or four weeks, and
about the latter part Of December the
spawn will be found to have exhausted it.
solf, and fresh manure, fresh spawn and
fresh loan must be procured for the forma-
ton Of new beds IL another crop of mush-
rooms Is desired.
To grow mushrooms successfully great
care must be taken to obtain fresh spawn,
which can be bought In all the horticul-
tural stores. But If the oultivator wishes
to make his own spawn, he oan do SO by
following these directions: Tako equal
portions of horse droppings, COW dung and
fresh loan and mix the whole thoroughly
together, as you would make mortar.
Then form tho matter into cakes about the
size of large brick. Place these bricks
on edge under cover until they become
half dry, then insert into each brick q
piece Of spawn half an inch or so square,
and lot tho bricks remain until thoy arc
quito dry. Then spread about eight inches
of horse dung over the floor of the shed,
on which build the bricks in pile, keep
ing tho side In which the spawn has been
put uppermost Then cover the pile OF
bricks over with sufficient stable manure
so as to give gentle heat, not exceeding
100 degrees through tho whole In two OF
three weeks the spawn will have spread It,
self through the whole mass Of each brick
and will DO ready to plant at any time
during the wlnter.-New York Times.
