DONKEY, DOG AND GOAT.

The Three Great Sights of Transconti-
mental Journey.
1.-THE three oldest things that saw
outside of New York." said New
Yorker who had gone overland to Den
yer and returned by water by way Of
Galveston, "were donkey, dog and
goat. The donkey was the motive
power of the single bobtail car that
goes up the hill ON South Broadway,
Denver He was an amusing fellow.
After made my first trip up that steep
hill I was astonished to see the con-
,iuctor unhitch the donkey and put him
aboard the car. The dashboard was fit
ted up as sort of stall, and he stood
there sideways when the car started
back down the hill under its own i'm
petus. The donkey's face took on de-
lighted expression as he found himself
in the role of passenger. He really
seemed to be grinning at the conductor
and the passengers.
81 saw the dog as was about to en-
ter the Taber Opera House in Denver.
The dog was called Bill, and he was
yart of the outfit of cigar store in the
opera house building. He was black
spaniel. He was rugged up in Zouave
trousers and jacket trimmed with gold
braid, had tasseled fez on his head
and spectacles ON his nose. The oldest
thing about him was that he sat ON his
launches, with his paws in the air,
actually smoking cigarette like con-
armed cigarette fiend. l found that he
nad been trained to smoke the cigarettes
while the audience was going into the
theater as an advertisement of his own
er's business. That was the first time
had ever seen dog smoking.
II made the acquaintance of the goat
in a tobacco factory in Key West. There
were 300 Cuban girls there, nearly all
of them pretty and all of them smokers
or chewers of tobacco. The goat was
their particular pet. He was the biggest
goat ever saw, almost as large as a
Shetland pony. with big branching
horns, and perfectly tame. He playfully
butted the girls or pranced around
among them. His best trick, however,
was the larceny of their dinner baskets.
He used to go nosing around until he
found particularly choice luncheon.
He would knock over the basket, seize
the lunch, and dash outdoors with it.
No amount of chastisement had ever
broken him of the trick. OF course l
saw wonderful scenery in the journey,
but the donkey and the dog and the
goat were by long odds the most inter-
esting living things that encountered. !"

TURNIPs AS A FALL CROP.
Their Marketing Value Winter Feed For
Young Stock and Oxen.

Their Marketing Value-Winter Feed For
Young Stock and Oxen.
Few farmers recognize or appreciate
the value of turnips as a fall crop when
in reality the crop sells for nearly the
same as potatoes when jobbed out to the
retailers in our local markets More
than double the yield can be obtained
from the same area with much less Ia
Dor involved in cultivation or harvest
ing, while the crop requires only about
one-half of the season to grow in, SO
that an early crop of some kind or early
potatoes can be taken off. On every farm
about this time a piece of ground be-
comes vacant, and turnips are one Of
the best crops to fill in. A Connecticut
farmer, writing in this connection to
Rural New Yorker, says:
Last season we had piece of about
one-quarter acre on which second early
peas were grown. After these were
marketed the ground was cleared and
plowed, and on July 20, according to
the adage, "On the 25th Of July sow
your turnips, wet or dry" two ounces
of White Egg turnip and one ounce of
White French rutabaga seed were sown.
The turnips were sown in drills 10
inches apart and thinned to 8 inches
apart and the rutabagas 30 inches and
thinned to or inches.
On Sept. 26, two months from SOW
ing, we commenced pulling the largest
of the White Eggs throughout the plot.
These were washed and thrown on the
wagon each day as it went to market.
They sold readily at SO and 40 cents per
bushel, and we soon had a good trade
established for white turnips, as they
were smooth and of excellent quality.
This thinning gave the others chance
to grow, thus giving a larger CROP.
However, before we had got over the
felt like putting them in the middle of
the crates to hide them. We thought the
name pumpkin would have been just as
descriptive of the variety as egg, but
the large ones cooked just as well as the
smaller ones. On the approach of win
ter those not sold were pulled and put
in the cellar. The price, however, went
uOWu db ILLS b1JutI 81 UlltO only az t6ut5
was obtained. This we considered pay
| ing price compared with potatoes.
The rutabagas were left out till severe
freezing, which improves their quality.
These were all sold readily in the neigh
borhood at 40 cents per bushel. The
rutabagas should have been sown earlier
to obtain the largest yield. As it was,
they were of good size.
Aside from the marketing value Of
turnips, they, like carrots and mangels,
have an especial value for winter feed
for cattle, especially young stock and
oxen. If fed to milk cows they should
be given Immediately after milking and
fed sparingly. The tops also are relished
by cattle. Such foods help digest the
drier part of the ration and tone up the
system. OF course it would not be prac-
ticable to SOW large area with a view
to marketing at the prices named, but
it is these catch crops that help to fill
out and give variety to the load taken
to market each day and swell the pock-

King Humbert's generosity in chart
table works is said to be fabulous. A
petition hardly ever remains without
an answer. His majesty spontaneously
gives presents to those persons to whom
he does not wish to grant subsidies
These presents are generally Of two
kinds-a golden clock with the royal
arms or brooch set in diamonds. His
jeweler supplies him each year with
500 clocks and 1000 brooches. King
Humbert never goes to the theater save
ON the occasion of an official solemnity.
He says that he finds no pleasure in
artificial life.

WCTORlA'S REGAL RIGHT.
Why the Niece of William Nv Was Called
to the Throne.

1~N Oe~AAO~A
to the Throne.
Several newspapers, in explaining TO
their readers how Queen Victoria came
to succeed William Nv, say it was be-
cause she was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half the truth, for Will
lam " had nephews and other nieces.
George Ills first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the Prince
of Wales, afterward George ~, who
died childless in 1880; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1897, also with
out children; William, duke of Clar-
ence, who died William Nv, June 90,
1887, without lawful issue, and Ed
and earl of Dublin, who died Jan. 2S,
1920, aged So, leaving as the sole issue
of his marriage with Princess Victoria
of Leiningen a. baby daughter, now
Queen Victoria. The queen succeeded
William w not because she was simply
his niece, but because she was the only
child Of the brother next to him in the
order of succession.
Had Queen Victoria had brother
she would in all probability not have
been parsonage of historical celebrity,
save in the contingency of succeeding
him. Her rights were those that de-
volved on her from her father At the
time she succeeded to the throne her
uncles-the Dukes of Cum berland, Of
Sussex and Cambridge-were living,
younger brothers Of her father and jun
ior to him in the line of succession in
the order named. The Duke of Cumber-
land, who became king of Hanover on
the death of William Nv, was man Of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Prin-
cess Victoria as standing between it
and his succession to the throne. He
had lawful issue, as had the Duke of
Cambridge.
The Duke of Sussex, a most estimable
man, married twice, but these unions
being repugnant Is the provisions of the
royal marriage act, his children were
barred from the line of succession.
From the revolution of 1888 rose the
Jacobite party, made up of those who
supported the cause of James III, his
sons and descendants. The picturesque
modern Jacobites do not recognize
Queen Victoria, despite the fact that
her succession is due to her Stuart
blood, for she is direct descendant of
Elizabeth, daughter of James !, to
whose heirs the title to the throne de-
volved by the act of settlement on the
death of Anne. Boston Transcript.

AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.

Gray heavens, gray earth, gray sea, gray sAJ
Yet rifted with strange CLEANS Of gold;
Downward all's dark, but up on high
Walk our white angels, dear of old.
Strong faith in God and trust in man,
In patience we possess our souls.
Eastward gray ghosts may linger wan,
But westward back the shadow rolls.
Life's broken urns with moss are clad,
And grass springs greenest over graves.
The shipwrecl5ed sailor reckons glad
Not what he lost, but what he saves.
Our sun has set, but in his ray
The hilltops shine like saints newborn.
His afterglow of night makes day,
And when we wake it will be morn.

The origin of the name Fife is not
known One historian tries to show
that it comes from the Celtic word
veach, Pict. and means that the dis
trict was inhabited by Picts, but that is
obviously absurd, as Fife was not spe-
cially the home of any of the Pictish
nations. The tradition that finds great
est favor is related by monk, who
states that the first known possessor of
the district which has since grown into
the kingdom of Fife was one Fifus
Duffus, famous chieftain whose date
is lost i'll the mists of antiquity.
