that he would allow him to go home

him that if his conduct in the future
was not good he would be brought
back TO court and sentenced to the
penitentiary for his former ofense.
Stacy has given his father a great

manageable that Rev. Mr.. Smith had

Which kept the chain fastened to his

hs shackles; and taking his young

DIR. T. F. Martin presided as vener-

the deep interest he had taken in the

equally as Jealous and enthusiastic in
promoting the welfare of this par ex-

that the odds were very much against
saving the house. SO there was nothing
left except to turn attention to refnov-
ing the contents, and which proved
very successful. Not only were ell Of

of $3oo on the house in the Rockpolt

An old barn on part of the Neal
farm 2 I-2 miles south of town was de-
stroyed BY fire last Sunday night about
8 O'Clock, together with four head of
horses, lot of farming implements
and about 80 IONS of prairie hay. The
horses, farming implements and hay
belonged to John Young. who lived
on the premises, and as Mr.. Young
was poor man and carried no insur-
ance. the loss to him is severe blow,
and will amount to between $500 and
5000. Mr.. Neal carried no insur-
ance on the barn, but as it was al oid,
rickety structure his loss will not
amount to much. 1t is not known
how the fire originated Owing to the
fact that a brisk wind was blowing at
the time the flames did their destruct-
i've work rapidly and thoroughly. The
wonder is that with the dry condition
of the surrounding fields the fire was
not much more disastrous.

TILLAGE OF CROPS.
Deep Working Is said to Serve no
Good Purpose Whatever.

Deep Working is Said to Serve no
Good Purpose Whatever.
All tillage of crops should be shat
low. The time to go deep is when the
ground is plowed in the fall Deep
tillage of a growing crop serves no good
purpose whatever, while it is very in
furious to the plants. 1t is folly to move
the soil in which the roots of a plant
are growing unless il is desired to check
the groNth of the plant. What is needed
is intelligent shallow tillage. After
every rain the crust that forms on the
surface must be broken up, and any inn
plement that runs one or two inches
deep will accomplish that purpose.
During a drought the surface of the soil
gradually packs and forms a crust, and
hence surface or shallow cultivation is
as necessary as after a shower. Shallow
cultivation will destroy weeds quite as
effectively as deep. while it can be done
with less than fourth of the labor.
The time to destroy weeds is just when
they appear above the surface. Thor
ough tillage includes the destruction
of all wesds as soon as they appear
Neither weeds ncT grass of any sort
should be allowed to rob the soil of one
atom of its fertility. This involves
watchfulness and labor, but not hard
labor if the right kind of tools are used
and used IN time.
Thorough is simply intelligent tillage
A man must know his soil and then till
il in the manner that experience and
common sense show is best.-Troy On.

THE DEAF GIRL UNDERSTOOD.
Young Mans Tender Remark TO His
True Love.

Dung Mans Tender Remnfk TO His
True Love.
It doesn't always pay to express your
inmost thought even guardedly in the
presence OF deaf mutes, says the Boston
Record. A story was told at the meeting
of the Woman Suffrage association the
other afternoon which showed conclu-
siyely the wisdom Of the above remark.
\ devoted couple who, apparently,
had been long separated were thrust
suddenly into each others company at
a largely-attended reception. The lady
who told the story said that she was
present in company with an educated
deaf girl. The happy reunited pair dis
played fully the thoughts that were in
their hearts by the beam upon their
countenances. Suddenly the young man
drew near to the one whom he adored
and said, in a low tone, inaudible to
those about him, a few seemingly af-
fectionate words.
The deaf girl watched the proceedings
with intense interest and suddenly
broke into broad grin. Her companion
inquired what it was that amused her
She turned about so that the couple
could not see her and replied:
That man said: If all these people
were not here I'd kiss you. If they don't
get out Of the way pretty soon / shall
have to before them The girl replied:
Then | shall scream"
The deaf girl understood their words
by the motion of their lips
