How Patrice got back to the far-off

was great her head was swimming.
Her limbs were shaking her heart was
beating so quickly and loudly that she
fancied other people would be startled
by the flutter. as with drawn, nag

eyes she pushed her way along.
1t was not only the sight of her lover
ON aggressive terms of familiarity with
another woman that had shocked and
outraged her out of all self-command.
The expression of that lovers face as

as resentfully as if she had tracked
him down and found him out on pur-

sight Of her she would have endured
that other woman and met him with a
glad forgiveness ofhis apparent neg

she were his foe instead Of his love,
and the girls strong, true. young heart
was nearly broken.
Still she was dimly conscious IL the
midst Of her misery that she must not
bring an ache into the kind heart or
a cloud into the clear BRAVE eyes of
the old man who had always player a
true fathers part toward her. He was
nearly asleep when she rejoined him
and so he did not see how strained was
the smile with which she greeted him
as she said:

Interesting Tests,

In order IL determine the effect OF
compact" and loose" soil upon seed.
the horticultural students in the short
course in agriculture, Madison. Wis.
made the following experiments:
Each student used 100 white beans
divided into two equal lots. Before
planting, the volume OF each lot was
determined by pouring given
amount of water into graduated tubes,
and noting the difference In height II
the water when the beans are added
They were then drained and at once
planted in tin boxes with tight covers,
The boxes were filed one-third with
moist garden soil fl which the beans
were mixed and the surface covered
with an inch of soil The same oper-
alton was performed with the second
lot, and In addition a small block OF
wood WAS used to compress the soil
about the beans AS each student
prepared two lots. this gave 100 cups,
which were marked with labels giving
Students name and volume OF beans,
The cups were then placed for "a
hours In a room in temperature OF
6S to 40 degrees The volume OF the
beans OF each lot was then deter
mined with the following result: The
average increase in volume Of the
beans in loose soil was 40 per cent. In
compact soil II per cent Peter Hen
derson relates in Gardening for Profit
an experiment in which not one seed
IN 1000 of celery, nor one In 100 of
cabbage, started in strips OF loose
soil, while compaeted strips gave an
excellent stand, The use OF the feet
or roller is based on the Same princi-
pie. In the loose soil there are less
points OF contact of moist earth with
the seed. causing less wate to be alb
sorbed, slower termination, and an
unfavorable condition for it's best de-
yelopment.
The concensus Of opinion is that q
fine, firm seed bed is preferable TO =
loose soil

This may not strike some OF cur
readers as u subject with which the
practical farmer has anything TO do,
but we assure such that the most
practical, successful farmer Is the one
who takes an occasional day OH
even prolongs the day TO a week or
ten days sometimes.
Too many farmers seem to think
that the thing to do is TO dig with
main brute force from early morning
till late at night with no let up for
3l2 days a year, and chasing round all
Sunday besides. Such men have q
faint idea OF the good things they
miss in life. The farmers life at best
has days of hard toll that are some
times long, but 10 make every day
long. hard one Is not doing ones best.
Plan to have as few days from SUN
to sun as possible and break the
monotony OF constant work by an oc-
casional outing One does not have
TO go to the seashore or 10 a mountain
retreat TO have an outing; does not
necessarily have TO take d train or
wheel. A good time OF rest may be
obtained by the change to be had In a
trip by wagon over the country from
the home farm as a center.
Writing in the New York Tribune OF
such q trip, Webb DSmnell expresses
our idea when he says: Take a
wagon and the farm team, put in IA
supply Of eatables for both man and
beast. make provision for camping
out at night. aud make a trip through
the country as far as your time and
inclination lead,
Think Of the jolly dinners cooked
by the roadside and the pleasure OF a
search each night for place to camp
Then, too, one would have cont nual
interest in the sight OF farm ar or
farm, with Its stock and its methods
Of work. Some OF these farms you
may have heard OF because of some
peculiar excellence, and you will want
to visit them as you go along.
Such a drive can be made the
means of great pleasure and much
practical good, and when the horses
turn in at the old place again I'm
quite sure they will bring home a load
Of people greatly benefited by the ex-
perience. When you get home from
this or some other outing begin To
plan stralghtway for the outing next
year. You can't think what pleasure
the anticipation and planning win
give every member Of the family. IT,
will Tighten the whole years labor.
We take things too seriously; we
don't relax enough. Supp Sc bit Of
such recreation does cost somethlngY
What are we In this world forg l.
greatly question the idea that it Is 10
make mere working machines OF our
selves Besides. one can work 80
much better after rest or his sort
that he will soon more than make up
the cost.

IN THE MUSICAL REALM.

MIR. and Mrs. S. H. scallin Contribute an
Enjoyable Evening to Their Friends.
On Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. S.
H. Scallin opened their pleasant home
on west Third street to number of
their friends in order that they might
form the acquaintance of Prof. E. L..
Powers, who has srecently returned from
Berlin, where he has been pursuing
the study OF instrumental music for
several years past. Previous to the
musical part of the evening the COM
pany was entertained by telegram
amusement, in which each guest was
furnished with a slip of paper on which
was written a musical term, word.
Taking each letter in the word sent
ence or telegram was written by form
ing a word from each letter and the
telegram was answered by beginning
at the last letter in the word in the
musical term and forming the answer
in that manner. After the slips had
been handed in Mrs. Scallin read the
kilograms and the answers, some o.
which we're OF such construction as tc
produce considerable merriment.
The musical program was informally
arranged and besides MIR. Powers
Miss Goodykoontz and Miss Rogers
each contributed vocal solos while Mrs
H. G. Nichols contributed piano solo
Mr.. Powers first number was a minue
by Moskowsky, which he executed il
a manner which at once impressed hi
hearers of his capabilities as pianis
and his other numbers were of sucl
character and range as to show wide
knowledge of music. The young gen
tleman is thorough musician, his exc
cutioh is brilliant, powerful and hi
technique is delicate. He undoubtedl,
has brilliant future before him as ,
pianist and those who heard him viii
certainly agree with the same idea
Miss Goodykoontz sang several select
ions in way that always characterize
her singing as successful. Miss Rog
ers, who has magnificent, powerful
contralto voice, also contributed sew
eral numbers and were most thorough
enjoyable. Refreshments were serve
/. which brought to close an evenin
!. rich in enjoyment.

DEATH AT MT. VERNON.

H. NJ. Burns, Editor of the Mt. Vernon
News, Died Sunday Night.
Word was brought from Mt. Vernon
this morning by o. E. McEwen that H.
M. Burns, editor of the Mt. Vernon
News, died Sunday evening of typhoid
fever, aged 2S years. The deceased
was taken sick about three weeks ago
and as he was strong and healthy it
was thought that he would eventually
recover and even up to Saturday it was
thought there was still hope for him,
although the disease had made great
inroads on his physical appearance.
Saturday evening worse change came
over him and he had several hemor-
rahges of the bowels. which brought
on his death Sunday evening. Nearly
four years ago the deceased purchased
the Mt. Vernon News, which had just
then been established, and went to
work heroically to build up business,
in which he has been very successful,
even beyond his own anticipations.
Bert, as he was familiarly known, was
a genial, pleasant gentleman, and had
large number of warm friends who
will regret to learn of his early death.
We understand that his life was insured
for $1,000, which will be valuable help
to the widow. The funeral services
were held at Mt. Vernon Tuesday
at 2 o'clock.

simply let the audience take his state
ment of the bare theory that such
would be the case. 1t wasn't long be-
fore the senator took up the 'scrime of
1873" which has been tabooed in politi-
cal speeches in this state, and made the
peculiar declaration that Immediately
following the crime panic came ever
the business interests, and yet in the
face of the fact he admitted that it
was not known at the time that the sill
YER dollar was demonetized. Such an
absurd idea was one of the many incon-
sistencies of the senator's speech. He
did not mention the amount of silver in
circulation previous to the crime, nor
did he show the amount coined since
the crime, as it was the policy of the
speaker to show that the republican
party had shown any dliness toward
the coin. 1t was peculiar that bill of
this kind could be smuggled through
congress in the course of three years
without the crime being discovered. 1t
is too severe a reflection on the intel
llgence of men of Mr.. Aliens ability,
they were not 80 verdant, SO gullible as
all that, and Mr.. Allen would not care
to rest under a similar charge.
The senator charged the republicans
with making the assertion that silver
is redeemable in gold and if he is at all
conversf.nt with his subject he knows
that the republicans did not say so, but
rather that silver dollars are maintain
ed at par by the pledge of the govern
ment.
Senator Allen closed his long speech
with an exhortation for the farmers to
stand by the populist party, and pictur-
ed an elysian dream of wonderful beau
ty. He pictured the despair of the hard
times and what wonderful change
would occur in the event free silver
would win. Every farmer would secure
a dollar for bushel of wheat and how
he could pay off the mortgage, buy
pianos, carriages, send his boy off to
college and do untold things, and if the
senator will turn his memory around
and travel back to the time of republi-
can administrations he will find that
the farmer was enjoying the very same
prosperous existence which he pictured
before them as would result under the
silver standard. This prosperity under
the silver standard is the theory of a
party which has no foundation for hold
ing out the delusive hope, while the
) record of the republican party can show
J the prosperityit has brought to the
: people.
Senator Aliens closing peroration
was a distinct species of calamity howl
ing and such fallacious diatribe was nau-
seating to a majority of the audience.
4 If it was to array the people against
: the people it will fail of its mission, for
3 the appeal to prejudice and sympathy
: is not of lasting nature. Before the
! senator had finished his speech nearly
+ half the audience had left the hall, evil
J. IDENTIFY wearied by the lack of know
t ledge which had been anticipated.

Saved His Lite

J. X. Kimmel, well-known resident
of Philo, had a narrow escape from an
instant and violent death in this city
yesterday. He was passenger on the
u. e o. r. train yesterday morning
and having business in the central part
OF the city attempted to jump off while
the train was crossing Main street on
Second. In striking the ground he in
some way lost his footing and fell with
his head on the rail Immediately in
front of the rear trucks. Conductor
Ed. Reynolds who was standing on the
rear platform of the car, noticed Kim
mel's fall and leaning far down from
the steps he grabbed the man by the
coat collar and drogged him from his
perilous position. Kimmel was great
ly worked up oyer his narrow escape
and could hardly believe that he had
not received scratch or a bruise.
Kimmel is we'll known among river
men. having been actively engaged in
boating on the Muskingum for years.
