THE MISTAKE SHE MADE,
Railroad Travellers Who at Last Under
stood Each Other.

Railroad Travellers Who at Last Under
stood Each Other.
She sat by the car window, gazing
out upon the unrolling scenery and pos
sibly dreaming of home and things like
that.
About six feet away from her, across
the aisle, was an empty seat, which at
the next station was filed by a man
with sample case. He was 80 years Of
age or thereabout and was quite as dap
per looking as if he were 80 and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps shade too much display in her
makeup. but still one could hardly say
that, for all is not gold that glitters in
such cases-or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him. he began to look
about to familiarize himself with his
environments, and in the course of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. He gave a slight start, as
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
The lady wasn't looking, of course.
But she wasn't asleep
Not in the slightest
After a minute or two or three or
four of hesitating investigation the trav-
cling man, for it was he, arose and very
politely and deferentially approached
the young lady.
1t was done as if he had been practic-
ing that sort of thing ever since he had
picked up the first sample case. Either
that or he was to the manner born.
II beg your pardon, :" he said as she
turned from the window to meet him
with half startled, fawnlike move
ment not altogether unusual on such
occasions, aren't you Miss Morton Of
Philadelphia"
She gave him a CLASSY stare with
raw edge on it.
"You don't look like man," she re-
piled with an insolent air, "who would
try to work as old a racket as that on
me. Do look SO green as that?"
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder.
"Oh, that's all right" she laughed,
moving over to make room beside her,
"and I'll forgive you. You know am
not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any
where else, and so do / know it, But
sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as
soon have pleasant little talk with you
as not. I'm to meet mamma at the sta
ton where we take dinner. I"
II beg your pardon, said the travel
ing man, backing away. II am sure if
you are not Miss Morton 1 have no de-
sire whatever to talk with you.
Then he went back to his place, and
the flip young woman was rather in
clined to the opinion that there was at
least one man on the road who could be
mistaken honestly.
All of which occurred between Wash
ington and New York within the last
two weeks. Washington Star.

Sweetheart, the morn is drear
That dawns on dresrier night without you
here,
And day drags slow
To eyes and lips and heart that miss you SO.
Sweetheart, beyond the night
That hides your dear lost form from mortal

Send me one word
Or sign that my souls lonely cry is heard.

A good law in Massachusetts allows
the selectmen of any town to appoint a
tree committee, who may go over all the
highways of the town and designate
what trees must not be cut down by
driving spike into them six feet from
the ground. This protects from ruthless
owners, who have no taste for the beau
tiful, trees in which should center pub
lie interest and local pride. The Farm
Journal, commenting ON the foregoing,
says: The sentiment may we'll be COM
mended to the lawmakers of other
states And when insect depredators are
despoiling the foliage and making a
town hideous and loathsome, thus di-
rectly damaging its real estate values,
the local authorities should have the
power to buy and use sprayers or compel
owners to do so, by which to protect the
interests of the townspeople and the
travelling public.

A Business Talk to Farmers by q Bust
ness Man.
A man of business expresses himself
rs follows in the columns of The New
England Homestead: 1t is certainly
worth while to make good deal of an
effort to square up such accounts. If the
settlement shows that you owe a bal
ance, pay it, if possible, in cash or trade,
especially If you can get discount off
for SO doing. If itappears that the other
man owes you, it is equally important
to square up the matter, and if you have
doubts about his ability to pay you had
better sacrifice something now to fix 1t
up than run the risk Of a bigger loss
later The least that can be done is to
have a perfect understanding of the &C.
count. Even If the balance is not set
tied both parties then know exactly
how much it is. This done, you are In
shape to take an inventory.
First, make full list Of everything
on the farm-different lots of land, the
buildings. the animals, all tools, ma

each crop. feed, manure, fertilizer. wood,
lumber or other stuff on hand that Is
used on the farm. This list includes
everything, from the most important
and costly down to that of least oonse-
quence. To see that nothing is missed
have grand clearing up about build
ings and farm. You may find lots Of
little things that have been lost. Then
each article must be closely inspected to
judge it's value, and this leads to many
repairs that would be neglected other
wise, but that can be easily made dur
ing winter at small expense. The list
must include any and all other proper
ty; also debts owing to you, notes or
cash ON hand, etc. The valuation to be
oplied is what each article is worth in
the business of the farm. No use de-
ceiving yourself by putting the value Of
an article too high or too low. You
want to get it as near right as possible.
The total of all these items of what
you own makes up your assets. The to-
tai of what you owe constitutes your Ii
abilities. If the latter exceed the for
mer, you are by SO much in hole. !"
If your assets exceed your liabilities,
you are that much ahead, unless you
have deceived yourself by putting too
high value on your inventory. Even
if you don't keep book account during
the year your inventory, if compared
with the one taken year ago, will show
whether you have gained or lost during
the year. 1t will show how the list of
your stock, crops. etc., compares now
with then. twill give you lots of points
about making the most Of success and
failure. 1t will be an eye opener to any
farmer, however good or poor it may be.

Best Results From Manure.

1t is told in bulletin from the Ohio
station that manuring ground for corn
direct from the stable during midwin-
ter and manuring from the barnyard
just before blowing corn ground left a
residual effect, noticeable on the oat
crop following. in favor of the applica-
ton direct from the stable in midwin-
ter This accords with the experience of
others. Manure is strongest when first
made, and there is no safer place for it
than on the surface of a sod field. As it
teaches the plant roots take up the
strength, and the loss is a small item.
The manure should be spread several
months. if possible, before the ground
Is plowed.
