Land should be graded down to
smoothness before planting to insure
profitable and uniform crops. This is
necessary where irrigation is prac-
ticed, to secure proper moisture and
equal distribution of water, and where
the rainfall is depended on, ridges will
not get enough water, while the lower
places Will have too much. The best
plan is to pillow few acres and level as
soon as possible, to move the soil easily
and grade the surface to hold the mois-

The women of to-day are not as strong as
their grandmothers. They are bearing a

Mrs Alexander B. Clark, of All Michigan

day wife with such ambition as only
loving wife can have. But the joys of her
life were married by the existence of disease.
Suffering as thousands of her sisters have

others of the famous Partisan beauties,
Gallois had humble beginning. She
was the daughter of a model and an
artist, and was born in the Latin quar-
ter. For a time she posed in the alto
gether, but she soon found a more
profitable field for her beauty on the
stage. Today she is installed in superb
apartments with servants, equipages,
and all the pomp and circumstance Of
a royal princess. She is the pet Of
Paris. and she does exactly as she
pleases. In the summer she appears at
the fashionable watering places, and
wherever she goes she is sure to attract
crowd, for her fame always goes be-
fore.
At one time a Russian prince devoted
himself to her, and loaded her with
jewels and gifts The prince was ru-
ined, but that didn't matter much, for
there were others. But that Russian
prince will be avenged. Gallois is now
the reigning queen of beauty Such
queens are ephemeral. Such eminence
is perilous. She will fall ere long, and
her fall will be pitiful. Her thea trical
ability is worthless, and she will be
cast aside S soon as her beauty begins
to pail on the tickle Partisan public.
Her end will be such as they must ex-
pect who appeal only to the senses of
the weak and vicious. Paris gave an
object lesson in the fate of such women
a few years ago, when one of the most
famous of them, Lane de Pougy, tried
to commit suicide.

lions were sent, the gods were pro-
pitious.
In fact, so favorable were the cir
cumstances that Miss Edna Claverton,
also of Barclay, and Mr.. Harry Prin-
gle decided to take the same measures.
A double wedding was announced. Then
other young men of the neighborhood
conceived the idea Of getting married
in the same way. So the country
was aroused and turned out In force.
On the wedding morning wagons OF
every description dotted the plains. Ev-
cry available farm house was utilized.
People came in professions. There was
not room enough In the church. So
they took Farmer Barclays barn, car
ried the pulpit over from the church,
set the photograph on top and bor-
rowed an organ. Scoffers declared the
machine would not work. Calamity
howlers were sure nothing good could
come Of such an unheard-of proceed
ing But the people most interested
paid little attention.
The hour came, the choir sang "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds" and the
young folks lined up before the altar
and awaited with beating hearts while
the farmer pressed the button.
Alasi the machine began to play God
Save the Queen" 1t was heartrend-
ing. But Farmer Barclay came to the
rescue. He requested every one pres
emit to sing God Save the Queen
which they did with a right good will.
John Jr. had changed the cylinder
meanwhile, and this time no one was
disappointed. The marrying machine
was success. John and Lillian, Har-
ry and Edna were radiant in their
praise. They almost fought afterward

from the tmpreSslveness of the car
visit. The shopkeeper refused to COM
ply until the embassy paid him round
sum, and then the beautiful tiara was
sent back to Gallois. She pouted a lit
tie, but was soon laughing again, for
did she not have a new prince from
Austria in her tolls
Gallois gained not little fame by her
persistence IN refusing to meet King
Leopold OF Belgium, the prize of the
other professional beauties, who feel
that their chief ambition is crowned
when they have won his chances and
his gifts. But Gallois is different. His
sixty odd years are distasteful to her.
She fatty refuses to meet him, which
naturally increases his desire to meet
her. He has striVen in every possible
way to gain an interview, even calling
upon President Faure to intercede for
him. The president sent personal let
ter to the beauty making a formal re-
quest that she meet the king, but the
gay Gallois sent a pretty note back by
the presidents messenger to the effect
that she could not possibly find time to
see his amiable majesty, much as she
would like to please the president.
Now Leopold wants TO meet no one

for the possession Of the machine
which had been so instrumental to their
happiness. But no one questioned that
they were married legally and in Or
der.
For had not a Justice of the peace
pronounced the words into the ear Of
the machine. and did not the cylinder
give back his very words, the fathers
supplying the blanks left for the names
OF the contracting parties Six other
couples We're married the same evening.
The news spread like fire. Cupid was
again victorious. Eight weddings on
the nrst day was a pretty good record.
But more were to follow. The fame
of the marrying machine" spread rap
idly, and within three months twenty
eight marriage ceremonies had been
perfo~rned by the new method-fifty-
six lives made happy by a single
thought
pectedly in town. No one knows to
this day how he ever broke the con-
tinuity Of the circuit. People hint that
he was shocked at the inroad upon his
legitimate fees. However, he came, and
his wrath was greak. He told the
young people they had not been mar
ried by THE laws of the Church Of Eng
land; that God would not favor nor
prosper unions SO contracted; resigned
his passionate and shook the dust Of
Barclay from his feet. The young folks
did not worry over that They have
made improvements in the service
since the day of the double wedding.
They sent to Chicago and obtained
the shortest ceremony known to man,
SO that they rival the Milwaukee cler-
gyman in the number of marriages
they can accomplish in a single day.

merous. Don't forget the marrying
