esting narrative. His father was n
well-to-do farmer in Erie county, and
possessed n fine tract OF land in what
is now a growing suburb OF Buffalo.
When Rogers was a boy the land was
reclSoned to be worth about $50 an
acre; now $4,000 would scarcely pur-
chase that much of It. When young
man he enlisted in the Ninth New York
cavalry, and served throughout the
OWL strife. There the romance of his
nature developed. The home life was
to him rather shiftleSs and aimless, and
he became imbued with the spirit of a
wanderer. However, he returned home
after the war was over and went to
work for the railroad.
His father died, some of the estate
was sold, and by economy Rogers man
aged 60 acquire q considerable sum of
money. He kept an account in the
savings bank, loaned money on mort
cages, had a good position as station
agent and became well-to-do. Still he
was never wholly contented.
During the centennial year he start
ed for Philadelphia, fully expecting and
intending to return after spending a
few weeks at the exposition. He took
with him only enough funds TO pay
the expenses Of an economical trip, for
he was never spend thrift, but rather
frugal and modest in his wants. Weeks
went by, and finally they lapsed into
months, but no tidings came from
Rogers. His sisters, with whom he
lived. waited anxiously for his return.
Finally they wrote to Philadelphia and
asked the authorities to find their miss
ing brother.
No man who answered his descrip-
ton could be found; in fact, no trace
of him was discovered, and the family
continued to hope that he was still
alive. Still no message came from him,
although they could see no reason why
he should remain away and still less
why, If alive, he should be silent.
Year after year passed, but from time
to time the family continued the
search for the missing relative. Once,
during the first Inauguration of Pres
ident Cleveland, some Buffalo people
reported to Rogers sisters that they
had seen him in this city. Again hope
was revived and efforts were made to
follow up the trail but to no purpose.
The police in large cities were asked
time and again to look out for him.
In his wanderings Rogers frequently
came into Washington. II fact, he has
been in almost every town of any con-
siderable size in both Maryland and
Virginia. Upon one OF these trips he
went to the Office Of Mr.. GIFT, to have
him intercede for him in obtaining a
pension. The attorney, however, had
no knowledge OF his clients wander
ings. In this city Rogers also met Capt.
Wooley, of the post Office department,
who was the commander of one of the
companies in Rogers regiment during
the war. He, too, was in ignorance OF
the fact that the former soldier was a
wanderer from home and that his fam
fly was endeavoring to find him.
After laying his case before the at
torneX Rogers again disappeared, and

PROFIT IN SQUADS
A Few Suggestions from n Lady Who
Has Made the breeding OF
Pigeons = Success.


I have been raising squads for four
or five years, but only recently have
ventured on a larger scale. Have IT'S
pairs of birds, common and mixed va
rieties, writes Mrs A. ]. Smith.
Ny plan is to make each pair of birds
take a certain box; for instance, If the
birds seem to prefer high box, give it
to them; if a low one, choose one nearer
the floor; one can always Judge by
their actions. All the empty boxes must
be kept closed. 1t is surprising how
quickly they viii learn their own boxes,
and once settled the male bird defies
all intrusion. By so doing you learn
all your birds by sight, and if there
are odd or strayed ones in the flock,
they may be removed. At nightit is best
to look them over
have fed little besides corn and
wheat, with box of oyster shells and
grit. To avoid disease, clean the boxes
from which the squads have been taken
to kill, and scrape the floors once a week
or every two weeks. Keep air-slacked
lime and carbolic acid scattered about
profusely and the disease will soon
depart. This must be done frequently
the year round, as perseverance an6
constant attention are the only way
to successs-Farmers' Voice

o. TUDENTS Of mental philosophy
~ are often bafied when they try
~ to explain some of the peculiar
workings of the human intellect.
There are ample evidences of the fact
that some men have dual natures; and
many men of research and profound
thought believe that every human be-
ing is so endowed.
Some investigators claim that each
lobe of the brain is 10 some degree in
dependent of the other, and that good
impulses come from one lobe of the
brain, while bad impulses come from
the other. Some scientists assert that
if subjects could be found, who would
permit surgical operations, SO that one
lobe of the brain might be removed,
in that manner they could discover
which is the good and which the bad
side of the human thinking machinery.
Lapses of memory are well authenti-
Gated, and intellectual freaks abound
in the daily experiences of observant
men.
