pected that she would be able to cry
when the time came, but now she dis
covered, with something like disap-
pointment, that she was not going to
cry after all. The yellow dog with the
cooked ears was listening.
The hoof-beats became audible; the
dog gave low whine and began to
tremble. The little minister opened
his book at the burial service, and kept
his finger between the leaves to mark
the place.
All at once the dog broke through
the group and went bounding out at
the open gate, leaping around and
around the solitary horseman that
pulled up there. For one awful mo-
ment the stoudest hearts among them
beat faster. Uncle Silas Benson stag
gered back until his foot caught in q
rope-like root, and he sat down unex-
ectedly upon the heap Of dirt that had
been thrown up from Jim Dawson's
grave. The others retreated to the
back fence of the graveyard, taking the
mounds in nimble leaps; and few
went skimming over the fence itself.
Indeed, it is said that. George Smith
was seen no more until evening of the
next day, when he struggled home,
splattered and weary.

TO RAISE POTATOES.
White House Grounds to Be Plowed
and Planted.
Deauties Of the Country te he Placed
Right at President's Door
Effort II to Enrich
=. Grass Fiat.

Midsummer visitors next year will
witness the novel sight of corn and po-
tatoes growing in the grounds imme-
diately in front Of the executive man
sion. The president will not need to
leave his official home to seek the beau
ties of the country, for the country is
TO be brought to him. He may stand
upon the front portico of the white
house, view field of waving corn and
eevel In the sweet music of the winds
blowing through the stalks. It will
carry him back to the scenes of his
youth and the Trumbull county farm to
gaze upon the growing corn and pota-
toes.
The plat in front of the presidential
home Is not to be converted into truck
garden solely to give ruralistic appear
ance, however, nor is It in emulation of
Gov. Pingree's scheme to utilize public
grounds for the cultivation of tubers
for the benefit of the poor. The agri-
culturists who have made the public
grounds study have failed SO far to
devise means by which a beautiful
green sward may be successfully culti-
vated, and have conceived the idea that
grass can only be successfully grown
by adopting heroic measures. They say
the soil must be restored to it's virgin
condition. Those properties of which
1t has been robbed by being kept too
long to grass" can only be restored by
planting corn and potatoes. Garlic and
dandelions have taken almost complete
possession of the lawn, and it is large
lyto getrid of these Objectionable plants
that the ground is to be plowed and
seeded.
When the plowman invades the pre-
cincts of the presidential home and be-
gins turning over the sod passers-by
will doubtless stare at him in amaze
ment, but when the corn and potato
plants peep through the ground his
wonder will grow to bewilderment. The
sedate senators and members of the
house will also he treated to surprise,
for it is proposed to give the lawn just
north Of the capitol similar treatment;
but when the constituents of the con-
| gressmen from the back counties call
upon them they will have no trouble
in making them feel perfectly at home.
They will only need to take them for a
stroll through the capitol grounds and
talk crop prospects with them.

Where are they?

With one impulse there was general
move towards the horses and wagons,
and, before the dog had ceased his wild

and the dog were alone. Then Mrs.
Dawson came into the road and walked
swiftly away toward . cabin on the op-

The rider turned his fascinated eyes
from the yawning grave3and the heap
of red clay beside 1t. and followed slow
ly after. The dog trotted beside him,
his red tongue hanging, his eyes on his
masters face.
Jim Dawson sat down in the door Of

The timid, yearning note was in the
soft drawl, but it brought no response
from Malviny. A quicker ear than hera

been on his masters knee, suddenly
sprang higher and laid his awkward
paws on Jim's breast, looking straight
into his eyes as only dog can look.
And then something dawned upon

Russia and Germany.

About the only thing that can prevent
this great spread Of the three chief powers
mentioned is an early war between Rus
STA and Germany, before Russia is fairly
established in her new greatness. II
Germany should conquer in such war it
would get an outlet for its population in
lands at present owned by Russia. For
by driving back Russia and taking those
parts OF its territory bordering on her own.
Germany could extend its language and
people, and possibly save both to great
ness. At the same time it would cripple
its chief rival and provide against future
uprisals. 1t is to the interest of Germany
soon to match its strength Against the
growing Russian power. Its fight for life
will be fight for Russian territory. Ger
many cannot grow unless it grows east
ward but If it gets started there it can
spread indefinitely, and this it can do
only before Russia consoidates its mon.
grel population.
1t is a question whether it is not now
too late for this; but if it is not done
soon, it will in the near future become
forever possible.-Austin Bierbower,
in February Lippincott's.
