year ago, no less than S175, 600 worth

in Miss Mehitable's. she walked to tins
soldiers monument. She belonged TO
some one. She had a name. a home,
mother, even two dead grandfathers, and
her cup Of bliss was I y l.
The little procession, with muffled
drumbeat and tolling bell, came slowly
to the soldiers monument, where the
townspeople had gathered. Tomorro-v
the veterans might be carpenters, shCo-
makers and farmers, but for today they
We're heroes.
The church choir sang, the minister
made a prayer, and then came the roll
call.
Before Miss Nlehitable realized il
Louetta had slipped her hand away and
had run up TO Captain Townsend, the
officer in charge, with a bit of paper in
her hand
eff you please, sir" she said as size
handed it to him, won't you call the
roll for the Revolutionary soldiers ov-r
in the old part too: Both my GRANDPA
theirs are there-that is, not my really
truly grandfathers, only ones that I've
adopted because they hadn't any little
girl and / hadn't any grandfathers, and
I've copied their names on this paper,
if you II only call them out! I'm sure
they must be very lonesome way over
there in that corner.
The clear little voice rang out IN the
silence. Filled with an absorbing emo
ton, the SLY child became bold. There
was such an intensity Of appeal in her
tone that the captains eyes filed with
tears.
Comrades, f" said he, latter this we
will call tae roll of the Revolutionary
dead first.
The crowd, all of whom knew the
child and hel sad history, cheered.
GLOW glad they'll beH' she sai9,
slipping back into her place beside Miss
Mehitable, whose stern face was yo '
tender as she looked at the unconscious
child.
One by one the names Of those val
liant dead were called, and the voice Of
the drum was the only answer. There
were not many of them, but enough 70
make every heart ill with pride that the
little town of Royton had borne her part
so bravely III that mighty struggle.
Then followed the much longer list
of the civil war soldiers, and there was
not veteran there who did not feel
glad that the place Of honor had been
given to the earlier dead. In the great
heart of America there is love enough
TO go around.
The minister then gave an address.
and his text was, "a little child shall
lead them. Louetta Luella felt the
blood rush to her face when, after the
address. Captain Townsend holding her
hand, they marched at the head of the
line to the grass grown corner, where
her grandfathers' graves testified
how much one little tender heart and
two little willing hands could do.
On these and on the adjoining graves
the choicest blossoms were laid and the
largest flags planted.
Now when a stranger visits Royton
almost the first place he is taken to is
" Revolutionary Corner" which the
high school boys and girls keep in bean
tiful order, and he hears the story how
LOuetta adopted her 2randfathers and
how the Revolutionary heroes came to
their own. y outh 3 Companion.

The Blue and the Gray.

In silent. lone recesses
OF many a forest grand:
In the valleys, on the mountains,
Over all this pleasant land,
Beneath outrageous maple,
Secure from scorching ray,
Or on the messy river bank,
By many a broken way,
Repose the war SCARED heroes
Of many gallant fray,
Fresh in their country's memory,
Enshrined are the blue and grayi
Amid the roar of cannon
They kissed the blood stained sod
For their affairs and their f-esides,
For their country and their Godi
They bravely faced the tempest
OF kissing, bursting shell;
They scaled the very battlements-
Right into the mouth of hell
Let tears bedew the acre
Where slumber those mighty dead
Flow RS spread lasting fragrance
Ger the patriots dreamless bedi

THE FARMING WORLD y.
SAVING Tt+Es"MANURE.

Different Methods Of Performing This
Important Work. Lax
There is US great difference in the
way two men will save manure on y
farm as in the way they will cure for
their stock or raise their crops. One
farmer will recognize tho value of the
manure and will add straw and all
sorts of refuse, working them in and In
cooperating them together so as to make
an excellent article. Such method
was systematically carried out on :
farm where the writer visited this SUM
mer. Nothing was wasted either inside
the house or out. Whatever was not of
value for pigs or chickens was set aside
for the compost heap. Itdid not matter
how trifiing the amount, it always
found it's way there during the course
Of the day. As result the owner is
steadily bringing up a rundown farm at
the yearly expenditure of very small
sum for commercial fertilizers, while
his next-door neighbor, with originally,
better land, larger means and a more
extended experience, is rapidly becom-
ing bankrupt. ..#'%
The change in their circumstances is
being brought about by their different
methods OF handling the manure ques-
ton. The old farmer is going On in the
old rut he got into 20 years ago, when
his land was virgin and the prices of
farm products high. Labor was high
too, then, and he economical by NOV
ing his animals about, feeding here and
there in odd corners in the woods or
along the road, wherever it happened
to be convenient, or where it would
save the trouble of cleaning up after
wards, for he regarded the manure as
simply waste product. -:
These habits cling to him still to a far
greater extent than he is aware of.
lie thinks that he saves his manure, or
at least ''all that is worth the bother"
but fully one-half of it is still lost and
the remainder is thrown out, to be
leached by every passing storm, while
an insuficiency of bedding causes the
almost total loss of the liquid manure.
Though this farmer keeps double the,
aEount of stock that his careful neigh
Dor does, he has always fewer loads IF
manure to haul. He says he cannot
understand 1t, and gets very indignant
at the suggestion that he, farmer,
born and bred, can learn anything from
all engraver, whom failing health and;
sight have driven to an outdoor life.
Yet the beginner is already doing bet
ter than the old farmer. He says his
only strong point is his manure heap,
but it struck me that he is succeeding
because that same care is bestowed on
every part of the farm. He finds Moth
ing too much trouble, and consequently
there are no leaks to run away with the
profits.-C. D. Bell, in n. Y. World.
