Capture Of a Veteran.

"Say, mister, have you seen mean
lookin' little cuss with blue suit an
brass buttons on hangin' raoun here
this week?" said tall woman to the
clerk at Lewiston hotel.
"Don't know that 1 have. How
mean does he look?"
"He pertends to be vetran," con-
tinued the woman regarding the clerk
over her glasses, "an' ginrally about
Grand Army time he disappears from
his wife's bed an board an goes off an
ticks the hull south. l want to see
him. 1 want him to come home"
Up the corridors came the sound of
laughter.
A party of veterans were telling tales
of war.
A familiar voice smote upon the air.
The woman's lips closed tightly.
81 tell you, comrades, l jes' enjoyed
that air fight at Charlottesville MORN
did the hull burned muss from fus' to
las. You see, Gin'rul Jackson was off
to our lef' a-trampin' like the very devil
to outhank the Union lines. That air
mornin' my cap'n he SEE to me, SEE he,
Jake, you take detachment o. five
men an go aout an see what Stone
wallis doin! Eff you suspect--ef you
suspect SEE he-'that there's any kind
o. sneakin' er beatin' aroun' the bush
goin' on, you jes' lay low an kyhoot
for the Union lines.' well, SEE f'"-
Just then q woman showed through
the throng and linked her arm in his.
The words died ON his lips. The fight
died out of his eyes. A spasm passed
over his cOuntenance that left it sickly
green, the color Of the hide of sour
cucumber.
"Jabez," said the woman, "be you
here a-lying ag'in? What made you take
that air boss an drive him here to this
G. A. r. spree? Hev yeu been a-drink-
inp Hev you been a-forgettin of your
commandment not to lie? Did you tell
these gentlemen that as fur as you got

You little lyin thing you'll Did you tell
the Grand Army men that you was
drafted an tibet they couldn't find you
fer six weeks where you was a-hidin in
the woods?
"Come home, Jabez-the caows and
the pigs need you"
And the little old man in the blue
coat looked up into the woman's face
with a gray, misty, fearful look in his
eyes. The glad light that had been in
them was gone. His little bit of glory
was at an end.

The Stave SilO.

Ed. Hoard's Dairyman: - Noticing
your description of the stave silo in
last weeks Dairyman, thought lit
Ontario might not come amiss.
The stave silo has had great run in
this Province in the last five years.
There are ninety-fve farmers insti-
tutes in this Province. North Ontario
has the largest number OF silos, over
ITO, nearly all stave silos. Experience
has shown that there is no necessity
to take 80 much trouble in building
them, or to 90 to 30 much cost.
During the last year number have
been put up with plank in the rough
just as it came from the saw, the plank
being twenty feet long. No planning
was done, but just set up, and the
hoops put on. Some have had to get
two lengths of plank. These were cut
to width at the mill, and sixteen plank
were used to make twenty-four feet
high by using sixteen and eight. No
pains were taken with the joints, ex-
cept the ends were cut square in the
mitre box, with coarse saw. When
the silo was up before the hoops were
frightened, a sledge was used to set the
ends down tight together, and no waste
was experienced. Another party used
two lengths Of twelve feet, and set up
one first and put the other twelve feet
ON top of it, having cut the ends square
as above. He used fiat hoop two
inches wide at the joint, and no waste
occurred. In filling these silos, as in
every silo, the most important thing is
to have the corn well matured, in the
glazing stage, or ripper, and there has
been no trouble to make good silage.
l have two, one for winter, holding
$50 tons, and one for summer use, hold
ing thirty tons. The latter does away
with all soiling crops, and is invaluable
to me with my seventeen cows. There
is no need in this country to advocate
the use of the silo as nearly every far
mer who keeps cows, or feeds beef, has
one or more. When they can be built
80 cheaply, every dairyman, at least,
should have two, one for winter, and one
for summer.-Hoard's Dairyman.

the user prefers a meter and to pay for
what he uses, he is charged 10 cents
for each 1000 volts, the equivalent of
which is half cent per light per hour.
One hundred and ninety-six patrons
use the incandescents, the receipts from
which were So, 200. The city maintains
forty three arc lights for the streets,
crediting the plant account with $3.50
a month, or $42 a year for each light,
a total of 81 1900, and making credits for
the year 81 200. The expense account
includes 5000 for salaries of three en-
ployes, nearly $1,000 for repairs and
supplies, and $1,000 for interest on the
investment, a total of $4,000. This leaves
a comfortable margin of profit
able operation, which enables the
city either to increase it's street
lights, to reduce the debt if any
was incurred, or to reduce cost to
private consumers. The practical re-
suit, aside from its demonstration of
the ability of a town to provide its own
light, is that the town gets it's forty
three arc lights for nothing, the in
candescents in private use paying AL
expenses, including the interest charge.
