The malady known as stage fright

1t is one of the pecullarities of the

Free Prevailing Libraries.

has advocated a scheme of State dlstri-
button of books by the way of loan to
institutions and to groups OF taxpayers

includes a system of central control
and supervision under which small col
lections of popular books are to be Sent

responsible persons, and circulated

One of the Kaiser's Jokes

the German emperor, and 1t must

to have no small amount of humor.

college chums from Bonn, and the I'm

was always used: The president OF

Farmers should give some attention
to green crops. whether they use the
entire pasture or not. Green crops af-
ford a large variety aud cost less than
any other foods, giving large amounts
Of forage and assisting In keeping the
land In good condition. Rye, crimson
clover, red clover, COW peas, green
corn, rape and oats are all suitable for
producing green food IN abundance.
and, as rye and crimson clover give IA
supply In the spring, before grass has
made growth of any consequence. they
should always be In the line OF rotation.

frozen, and they will give a larger
amount Of green food on the acre than
can be secured from three or four
times that area OF pasture, and the
forage may be cut off and given TO the
animals at the barn. When the green
food is no longer suitable for cutting,
sheep may be turned on the remainder,

they will leave the land In better con-
dItion than before. 1t is not too SOON

ers have not given II a trial, those who

green forage will not fail to give II a
place on the farm hereafter. 1t can be
cut or eaten OF several times during
the year, and yields enormously, sheep
being very fond of 1t, while cattle and
hogs also relish 1t highly

He Wa Too Clever for the Lameuted

The New York World contains a
number Of anecdotes by actresses, of
which the following by Theresa
Vaughn is a gem, giving an Instance
where nImbIeness of the brain was too
clever for dexterlty of the hand: We'll,
this story was told ME by Mrs. Herr
mann, wife of the late wonderful nagi-
clan.
A few years ago the late Bill Nye
and also the late Hermann, the magi-
clan, met for the first time In a small
Ohio town. Each knew the other very
well by reputation and personal char
acterlstlcs, but they had never been In
troduced. BY chance they stopped at
the same hotel Oh the occasion referred
to. and were given seats at the same
table In the dlning-room.
They bowed politely and began. talk
ing about the weather, each believing
that the other did not recognize his
yis-a-vls.
Just as Nye raised his knife and fork
to cut a dish of lettuce salad Hermann
uttered n cry of protest and surprise.
Nye stopped In establishment.
Excuse me, sir" remarked the wiz
ard, but | thought | saw something
queer there in your lettuce
The humorist carefully looked over
the salad, leaf by leaf, but found moth
ang, and again raised his knife to cut
1t. Again he was stopped by a sharp
cry from Hermann, who added apollo
g~etically:
Il beg a thousand pardons, but !
surely could not have been mistaken
that time. There Is something there.
Excuse me- And he pointed to q large
lettuce leaf, raised 1t and disclosed UNI
derneath a magnificent cluster ring
worth several hundred dollars.
Nye slowly picked up the ring, and
without the slightest manifestation of
surprise drawled out:
This sort of thing has gone far
enough. I'm shedding diamonds wher-
ever | go. Day before yesterday los:
a solitaire In a sugar bowl in Pittsburg,
and in Cleveland this morning the
maid in sweeping out my room found
three or four more. 1t Is positively
giving me brain flag to keep track of
these things, and | am going to give it
up as a bad job
Reckoning to- "a waitress he slipped
Herrmann'ss ring into her hand and
said:
Here's a triae for you. Keep 1t to
remember me by; Its yours :
1t took Hermann about half a day
to recover 1t, and it cost him several
bottles afterwards.

The walking Horse.

We hear a great deal about the run

the walking horse. The first twV are
valuable In their way, but neither Oh
them IL as much needed In this ,coun-
try as the last. A slow-walking team
makes work drag in spite of every ef-
fort of the driver. Farm work must
be done with the horses at a walk, ana
a slight difference in the a at which
the team gets over ground makes a
great difference in the AMOUNT OF work
accomplished.
The great trouble with most farm
teams is that they are allowed to get
into the habit Of dragging along at the
! rate of about two miles IN hour, even
when going unloaded, and this habAt
! becomes fixed and impossible to REM
