Elnathan Batkins was man as shrewd as

He said his eye was alters peeled and want
by no means dim,
And fellers got up sirly when they got
ahead er him;
He guessed he'd got his eye-teeth cut-he
knowed thing er two
And, as ter shrewdness in trade. reckon
that was true;
But, in his bizuess dealin's, when Elnathan
drawed the line
Tween shrewdness and rascality. he
drawed 1t mighty fine.
A lot er fellers' houses here was mortgaged
up ter Nate,
And when the mortgages come due II they
was one hour late
Why, he foreclosed and grabbed the place,
and consequently he
Was worth a good sight more'n what
think he'd ought ter be.
He'd leave a wilder homeless. but I want
no consarn er his.
I'm sorry fer YER missis. but yer know
that biz is biz"
And out she'd go. and Nate would grin ter
think how much he'd made.
And tell the fellers al the store about his
"rattlin' trade"
Well, durn himl he got ketched at last; two
fellers come ter town,
Real "bunco men" yer read about. and they
done Nathan brown;
One made out he'd been mimi and had two
big bricks er gold
Err course you've read the papers and yer
know the trick is old
But Nate, he never took no stock in blame

And SO he give five thousand" up fer them

And, fer a month, when he'd go out, the

Up at the store the other night. we talked
about the trick,
And how t was one so cute as Nate got
gobbled up so slick,
But old Eb Small, he SEE: why, boys, It's
jest as plain as day,
Nate Batkins never dealt afore with folks
that worked his way.
Nate thought he had sucker and he'd play
him mighty fine,
But he found out the sucker was on tother

Blackboard" This man, whose real
name was Teach, was terrible fellow
in appearance as we'll as acts. He wore
q long, heavy black beard, which it was
his fancy to separate into tails, each
one tied with a colored ribbon, and
often tucked behind his ears. Some Of
The writer's of that day declared that
the sight Of this beard would create
more terror In any port of the American
seaboard than would the sudden ap-
pearance of fiery comet. Across his
brawny breast he carried sort of
sling, in which hung not less than three
pairs of pistols in leathern holsters,
and these, in addition to his cutlass and
knife or two in his belt, made him
most Misunderstanding fellow. In
the early part of the eighteenth century
Blackboard made his headquarters in
one of the inlcts on the North Carolina
coast, and there he ruled as absolute
king, for the settlers in the vicinity
seemed to be as anxious to oblige him
as. the captains of the merchantmen
were anxious to keep out of his way.

She resolutely brushed her tears

GOOD Seed Is Necessnry.

Unless good seeds are planted good
crops cannot be grown. Farmers can
not compute the amount of loss in
Cured by planting imperfect seeds: A
great many formers overlook the TACT
that it takes just as much blowing, har-
rowing, planting and cultivating to
grow a half stand of corn, or, in fact,
any crop, as full stand. A full stand
probably means 10 bushels an acre; a
half stand about 30. So it will be seen
that the man who grows the latter
works for half pay. Another important
item of care and labor to be considered
is the thorough preparation of the soil.
This is as necessary as the thorough cul-
tivation of the crop after the seeds are
planted.--Farmers Union.

b, the wire can be frightened if there is
any tendency to become loose. To move
the fence, loosen the lower strand from
the posts. Begin at one end and make a
coil about two feet across. Rollthis on
the ground, crossing and recrossing the
strand of wire with the roll, about
every foot of length on the strand.
The barbs will hold it and keep the roll
together. When the roll is as large as is
convenient to handle, cut the wire and
begin again. When replacing fasten
one end to the post where the top wire
is to stay and roll along the ground
close to the posts. Follow with the sec
ond one a-little further off and then the
third. Experience has proved to me
that this is the easiest quickest and
best plan to remove wire fence, as after
some practice it can be done quickly

BY the year GOO of our era not only
had the japanese empress Suiko become
the devoted patron of buddhism, but
Shotoku, the imperial prince, himself
priest, was expounding the new religion

to erect and maintain Japan'g first great
monastery, Horiuji. Still in existence,

on the Cotean model, is said to have

first great original japanese statue was
carved, nearly life-size, out of hard,
dark wood, by the Prince Shotoku him
self. 1t represented the Spirit OF Provi-
dence, seated in thoughtful attitude.
Severe and unornamented, without los
ing Chinese dignity, it adds to Corean
spirituality a more human proportion
and a more human charm of naive
sweetness. Nude from the waistup, its
abstract beauty disdalns, without Of

Lime may injure the droppings by
permitting of the escape of ammonia,
which has deferred poultrymen from
its use, but If the poultry house is
cleaned daily, and the droppings re-
moved to the manure heap or mixed
with twice their bulk of earth and kept
moist mot weD, there will be no loss.
Lime is one of the best substances that
can be used in the poultry house. 1t
destroys the germs of roup, prevents
gapes, and dries the floor, a lump of
