James S. Clogg, Agent,
DERRICK Fertilizer Company,
Dear Sir:-I now write what l have
already told you about Orchilla. I am
entirely satisfied with it as fertili-
ger both for corn and wheat. Indeed
it is the very best know of for those
crops, besides helping the land.
Truly yours. WIN. 3. Waddy.

Daniels Young Friend.

Senators Daniel and Martin, of
Virginia, were chatting in the Riggs
House last Tuesday evening, just be
fore going out to attend the Presi-
dents dinner to Admiral Dewey,
when well groomed and exceedingly
youthful-lookinS man came briskly
along the corridor. There was some
thing about the young man that at
tracted attention. His erect figure,
faultlessly clad in black, his alert
step, his finely poised head, topped
by silk hat of the latest fashion, his
clean-cut features, and bright eyes
made him an object of general after
ton. Senator Daniel observed him
instantly.
There is "a fne-looking young
fellow, Tom said Senator Daniel,
pointing the youthful looking man
out to his colleague. Hes hand
some enough to be Virginian. l
suppose he's going to call on some
lovely girl this evening, and he looks
as happy as if he were going to dine
at the White House with the Presi
dent and Admiral Dewey"
At that moment the young man
with the clean shaven, youthful face
turned sharply around, as if con-
sciouS that he was being talked
about, and fixed his eyes iutently
upon the Virginia Senators. Then,
with an air of recognition, he ad
vanced toward them, and extending
a gloved hand to Senator Daniel,
said:
'.Pardon me, but is this Senator
Daniel?"
Your obedient servant!' replied
the Virginia Senator, bowling gracl-
ously and grasping the young mans
hand. Il am very glad to see you,
sir. Very glad, indeed, sir. We were
Just talking about you, my young
friend" continued Senator Daniel,
still holding the young mans hand.
and patting him cordially on the
shoulder. "And l told my friend,
Senator Martin, that / knew you
were a Virginian, sir, the moment
saw you, sir. Have you met Senator
Martin? Mo- Then permit me, sir.
Senator Martin, want to introduce
to you my young friend from -"
Senator Daniel paused, a trif1e en-
barrassed. The youthful looking
man began to get red In the face.
You must forgive me, my dear fell
low, l recall your face distinctly, and
l remember especially the last time
we met in Richmond, but your name
for the moment escapes me. No,
don't tell me-" said Senator Daniel,
raising his hand deprecatingly, and
l shall place you in a second. Now
let me see. Oh, yes, remember now.
l remember you well, my dear fellow.
You are the nephew of my dear old
honored friend and comrade, Colonel
-.n
Pardon me, Senator Daniel"
