XIII or the Poor Calves.

If the calf is not good one, it would
be better to knock it in the head and
feed it to the chickens rather than raise
1t for the dairy. 1t does not cost five
cents more to raise good calf than it
does a poor one, and the cow that will
make 300 pounds Of butter year has
eaten no more up to the time she drops
her calf than one that will make only
$50. There is not a fortune in the
dairy business at any event, but If we
raise calves from poor cows from which

HER TREASURE.
A Georgia Woman Who Has a Sock
Full OF Gold.

Full OF Gold.
Mary Odom, a seXagenarian, residing
somewhere in the neighborhood OF Au-
raria, is the happy owner of sockful
of gold, says southern exchange.
Wien a girl OF 16 she adopted profess
sion, gold-panning about in The branch
es during her leisure hours, and she be-
came so we'll acquainted and infatuated
with the king metal that she finally
adopted the panning business aliogeth-
er, and has kept it up ever since, always
being as assiduous to business as
Judge of the supreme court. When she
made gold panning a profession she
found the lovely metal wherever she
scooped her shovel under the gravel OF
the branches. At times innumerable
This woman has made four and five pen
nyweie'hts per week, making it rule in
every Instance to hoard away one-half
the amount of gold made. For instance
when she panned out so cents worth OF
gold and needed 81 in goods from the
store, she would pay the merchant 20
ccIts and have the balance entered upon
his books against her until she struck
richer streak. BY this method of doing
business the woman has kept out OF
debt, made a good support, and now has
a soclful of shining gold to dream over
at night. And now, after the age Of GO,
she stills pans about in the branches
and saves half the gold she makes for
Ler heirs to scramble over after she has
crossed in her batteau the wide river on
the other side. There has been great
deal of mining in this country and arti-
clcs not herein numbered written on the
subject, but Mary Odom's historical ca
reer in the gold mining business sur
passes anything we have ever become
aware of in this line.

MY BIRTHDAY.

The little folks came in last night
And stood beside my chair,
Then boldly climbed upon my knees,
And safely nestled there.
This Is your birthday, don't you known"
I ventured my surprise;
They brought their little presents out;
looked with. wondering eyes.
1--WE think you're just the incest man
That ever lived" they said,
''And we intend to stay until
It's time to go TO bed"
My thoughts ran swiftly back and forth,
AS shuttle through the loom;
Old memories with dusk came IN >
And filled the silent room.
l saw the farm gate open wide,
The lowing herd pass through;
The lilac bush and climbing rose,
Drenched with the morning dew.
The cornfeld. rich with tasseled brown
And cherry-colored silk;
The shepherd dog, the flock Of sheep
With fleece as white as milk.
The cabin home with low-roofed porch
And window on the side,
Where purple morning glories trailed
AS robes Of Queenly bride.
The locust grove, with odor sweet
From silver blossoms white:
The old crap orchard on the hill,
Where birds sang on till night
My mother, in Ter rocking-chair,
Beneath the morning sheen,
And heard her sing Sweet Fields Beyond
Stand Dressed in Living Green"
I started, for the fire burned low;
The ashes, white and free,
Were crumbling, and the little ones
We're sleeping on my knee.
The hour was late; the gifts they'd brought
Had fallen to the floor:
I turned from scenes Of yesterday
Into the open door
OF better years and nobler things
Than ever had seen,
Content to look fror> faded past
To Hills of Living Green"

DOGS KILL A DOG.

4oN Animals Dispose of injured
Companions.
A. c. UeGinger tells in the American
Field how m old fox hound was done
to death by the pack OF which it was
a member. The hound was called Clay
and was owned by y. 0. Pope, who kept
it in the White Oak Hill kennel at Po-
land, Ne. The dog was prize taker'
and always got a place when it ran in
the annual trials OF the Brunswick Fur
club. After the annual hunt at Bruins
wick, Me-, in which Clay proved bet
ter than ali the younger hounds, the
dog was taken back to Poland and
put in the yard with the rest OF the
pack. McGregor, keeper of the hounds,
heard q row in the yard, and coming
down, found that the pack had pitched
upon the champion hound and killed
it by chewing its throat and chest.
Wolves have been known to kill their
fellows in q similar manner. \ wolf
showing signs of pain is set upon and
killed by its comrades. a male fox,
when it finds female fox in trap,
attacks and kills it. A COW believing
with pain is set upon by the herd and
oored to death. Whether the attacks
are to aid the one in pain or not is not
known by students of natural history

Three hours later the man sat at q
CHEEKY little dinner in London, little
farewell meal with few old college
friends. After which he went on board
his steamer and walked the deck in the
starlight, with pipe for consolation as
he thought of the poor and lonely girl
hohad left, and longed for money TO bring
him his desire. And so absorbing were
these thoughts that the pipe went out,
and still he paced to and fro, unheeding'
until ct last, his elbow being logged &C
cidentally, he came back to the near
present again, and, taking the cold pipe
from his lips, tapped it out on the rail.
Then, while the shes were yet floating
down to the waters, he went below to
his berth and slept soundly.
And the girl Ursula sewed and sewcd
all the evening by the light OF the cheap
oil lamp, and smiled stiffiy with her lips,
and tried not to depress her mother.
And then she went to her room and
packed her box to 60 a-governessing on
the morrow. And after awhile she
went to bed, and there she lay with wide
eyes and watched the moonlight on the
window; and her heart felt widowed,
hopeless, and would not be cheered.

"Your letters are SO friendly, dearest,
so abominably friendly; they verify
starve my heart. Oh, why am I not rich
enough to throw up this drudgcry and
come home to you and hold you in my
arms again, and make you say you love
me? I have to so over cur parting
ugain ard again 10 make myself be-
lievc that all you said then Is really
true. Write me real love letter next
time. darling, 10 help me lear up"
Tic c:r;'s checks were flushed and
her eyes held happiness as she sat by
the schoolroom table, with the piled
up work basket neglected before her,
and read the words again and again.
And the days ard the weeks and the
months and the years passed on, and
the pile of love letters which came TO
the girl grew in bulk. Sometimes they
were respondent, sometimes cheerful,
sometimes hurried, sometimes tender
and sometimes the treasured space was
overfull of descriptions of new friends
Or strange places. But the letters never
failed to come, and the man never iaileu
to long for the riches which could bring
him to the girls side and make life
happy for them.
And the girl longed and lorged that
she might meet her lover, if only for
day; that they might look into each 9TH
cr's face, and, renewing hope, might
start afresh. Some cynic told her that
love was feeting, a question merely Of
propinquity; but that cynic had not
really meant to bruise the girls endear-
ing heart. Besides, the cynicism was
not always true, for this girls love
was strong as evcr-stronger. Why
should not the mans be the same? He
was better equipped for lighting doubts
and fears But the waiting was bitter

A BOLD, BAD MAN.
Oeceiver Sells Panacea, Claiming to B
Agent Of C. K. Partridge.

A very smooth man. as smooth men
go, has been doing quite smashing
business in the county, the past few
days, selling a kind of medicine. it is
stated, as an agent of Charles X. Par
fridge of this city. His ways of doing
business are very trying to his pur
chasers. for he makes promises which
he does not fulfill. His medicine, he
says, is witch hazel oil. and it is a
panacea in every sense of the word.
His method of doing business is to call
1t house. and present the little bot
tie of hazel oil, claiming that it is a
preparation of Charles K. Partridge,
for whom he is introducing il through
the State. This oil has various powers
Of healing. He has alleged it to cure
bald head, colds, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism and corns. 1t will make gray hair
black. To illustrate. it is said by
citizen OF this city, the agent will call
attention to his own illustrious crani
um. The hair is all of a rich dark hue
excepting one spot on the side just over
the ear. That is white. He used the
oil all over the hair with the exception
of this spot. 1t was all gray once, just
like the spot, but he has feft that un
touched, example, gratia. See?
The small bottles contain very choice
fluids: choice to the tune of 81 per
vial. "Oh, but it's great. It's curative
powers. are unnumbered the greatest
discovery of the age Take bottle
and try it. l know it won't fail. But
call this way again, next week: and
if. by that time. my good friend. you're
not all well, I'll refund you your prec-
ious money" That's the tale he tells.
No one is found who has known him
to call twice at the same place.
Mr.. Partridge says he is informed
that this man, he knows not his name,
for he says he never gives it, has done
a tremendous business here. and also
in Bangor. He is led to believe that
the fellow is now at work in Waterville
using the name of a reliable local
druggist there.
We will all of us do most anything
to be cured of our ills, but beware of
the peddler of medicines. for their gem
eral cure. is a cure for being taken in
the same way next time.
