Mark Twain Makes One of His Char
acteristic Speeches.
Mark Twain and his friend, the Rev.
Joseph n. Twitchell. once planned q
bicycle ride from Hartford (their hone)
to Boston, and wrote beforehand to an
acquaintance in the latter city, telling
him their line of route and what time
he might expect to see them arrive.
The appointed day was an ideal one for
long run, and the two friends started
quite early in the morning But neither
OF them was accustomed to long rides.
So, after IL or Is miles had been rid
den, it became apparent that each Of
the riders was waiting for the other to
say something Finally Twain said as
they came in sight of the railway sta
ton in small town they had entered,
"Let's take the train the rest of the
way"
OF course Mr.. Twitchen agreed, and
so the acquaintance in Boston was sur
prised by seeing the two friends walk
up to his door about o'clock in the
afternoon. He had not expected them
till evening, but he greeted them warm-
~, and. addressing Mr.. Twitchel, said,
''Well. you made pretty good time

Winter beets are soIn in July and
August and after frost are taken up,
the tops cut off and the roots stored in
the cellar. One ounce of seed will sow
60 to 20 feet Of drill. Early varieties
may be used In so to 60 days. The
roots will be mature in about $50 days.
Rich finely pulverized soil is needed
for turnips. A sandy or gravelly loan
is preferred. Sow in drills one foot
apart and half an inch deep, or sow
broadcast and rake in lightly. If there
should be no rain, thorough sprin-
king will insure termination. The
plants should stand at least three inch
es apart.

in treating roads cannot yet be consid-

of it's cultivation: First. the beets must

kept loose for the same purpose; third,
in case of dry weather the soil must

The Senator and the Old Lady's PEN
Somebody the other day repeated q
story Of Senator John P. Jones Of Ne
vada which was told at a roadside club
dinner not long ago.
The incident was the result Of one
Of President Cleveland's vetoes. The
president had vetoed an old woman's
pension bill on the ground that "she
got drunk"
"Once in San Francisco" said Sena-
tor Jones, as he discussed the veto on
the senate floor, "a man fell into a
hole in the sidewalk and sued the city
for his injuries. The defense put in
was that the man was drunk. This
nightly incensed the court
There is nothing in such de-
fense,' said the judge sayagely. "A
drunken man has as much right to
have a perfect sidewalk as a sober
man and needs one more
'That," concluded Jones, sis the way
I feel about this old lady's pension"
And he voted to pass it over the veto.
The pension went through.
