states. Cowpeas are, in their relation
ship and habit of growth, really beans,
and not peas, as the name indicates.
They are ANNALS and are closely re-
lated to the lablab, lima and haricot
beans of our gardens.
Varieties-Cowpeas occur in every
graduation of habit, from compact,
stocky, upright bush having stems a
foot high with very short lateral
branches to those with trailing run
ners growing as fiat upon the ground
as sweet potato or melon vines, the
PROSTATE stems Is to 20 feet in length.
The pods vary from four to six inches in
length, and the peas are of every i'm
aginable shade of white, yellow, green,
pink, gray, brown, red, purple and
black, of solid colors or variously mot
tied and speckled, and of varying sizes
and forms, from large lidney-shaped to
little round ones smaller than the gar
den pea. There is like variation in
the length of time the different forms
require to ripen seed, some requiring
eight or nine months, few ripening in
60 days from the time of planting.

JUDAS THE BETRAYER.
That Is the DisrespectfulN Name Given
to u Decoy Steer Mt the Chicago
% Stock Yards. 900

One of the sights of the great cattle
yards of Chicago is an old white OK
named Judas. An OK may rise to en-
inence by his cunning and wisdom as
well as man, and Judas has risen. He
came to the yards a good many years
ago, while he was yet frisky steer, and
he was Immediately purchased by one
of the great packing houses and driven
from the train which brought him from
his Iowa home to a distant yard.
The life of most animals at the cattle
yards is very short--a week at the very
most. A few days after the arrival of
Judas the herd of cattle which occupied
the pen with him was selected for kill
ing. The way to the packing house led
down long alleyway with high fences
on each side, then up narrow chute
and into the building. For some reason
the cattle seem to know what is COM
ing, for they always object to being
driven up the chute. Judas was no ex-
&C ption. He plunged madly about
among the herd and the cattlemen had
mere trouble with him than with any
other animal. At last, however, he
seemed to realize that sooner or later
he must go, and he made virtue of a
necessity, trotting quietly up the chute,
and the other cattle followed rapidly

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

You can destroy more weeds in a day
by burning the seeds than you can in
the whole season by trying to destroy
the pests next summer.
Disease may Turk in that old well that
has not been cleaned out for several
years. Better attend to it before the
doctor cleans your pocketbook out.
A few days devoted entirely to the
matter of securing fuel for the winter
will relieve your mind wonderfully of
this job and keep the women in much
better humor.
A man who cannot find pleasure in
arranging and rearranging his tool
sheds, stables, grain bins, ETC., when
other work is not pressing, or on rainy
days, has but little interest in his work.
1t will cost you nothing to find out
all about silos if there is one within
driving distance of you. Take a day
off and learn all you can about them.
1t may be money in your pocket some
day.
Cut and gather together burrs, Span
ish needles, ETC., on the next damp day.
Pile them up and burn them as soon as
they are dry enough and you will have
done work that will make you feel
good for a whole year.-Nationa Stock

DOLL GYMNASIUM.

are made in similar fashion, merely
two horizontal bars, little lower than
the single one. 10 make the swinging
rings, make your uprights longer than
in the other designs, and tie on two
mosquito bar rings with twine.
Now, if you fix the dolls hands to the
rings she will do all kinds of antics,
after little push, but don't be too
rough or dolly will lose her arms. To
make doll swing, the uprights are
made still longer, two little hooks are
screwed into the horizontal bar, and
then two pieces of strong twine are
run down through the ends of bits OF
wood or cane, which keep dolly from
falling, out, while the bottom or seat
of the swing is formed Of single light
bit of board or pasteboard.
The Irvine is knotted under the seat,
and now dolly may swing safely as long
as her mamma wishes. There is d
chance for brothers and sisters to play
together nicely, especially if the boys
will not play too hard for the health
of the dolls.-Cincinnati Commercial

snow, Whitworth, keep your eyes
peeled" enjoined Molineux, in hoarse
whisper, as the train glided along the
platform and the passengers surged
forward to secure their seats; you're
dealing with deep lot. Take my word
for it,
Even as he spoke discerned mufled
figure crouching in the shadow of the
subway, anxiously regarding the stand
still train. And then, as followed the
direction of his gaze, l saw woman,
whose face was concealed by thick
veil, appear at the door Of &rst-class
compartment for second, and care
lessly let fall folded paper.
1t was copy of the identical journal
I had loaned to Sherman! Recognized
it instantly by the color of its cover.
Molineux observed the covert act,
too. Warning me with glance to fol-
low him, he seized bag at his side, and
shambled up to the compartment,
reaching it simultaneously with the
mys terious mar, who had left the shad-
ow and approached the door.
Even as he placed his foot on the step
and thrust small parcel into the hands
of the expectant woman, the detective
was upon him. There was sudden
scufHe, sharp "click! click" and Abe
Sherman found himself lying face
downwards on the floor of the compart-
ment hors de combat. u.
Shark the other!" yelled Molineux,
and like flash 1 threw myself upon her
ere she had the ghost of a chance to use
| the deadly weapon which she was in the
act of drawing forth from her pocket.
She fought like possessed fury, but,
taken by surprise at the attack, the adj
vantage was all with me. The struggle
was of short duration. Putting out my
strength, secured her arms in vice
like grip and slowly forced her two
hands together, when the officer coolly
affixed the bracelets, and she fell back
on the cushions with a despairing
shrek of laughter. -.
Her veil had been torn away in the
struggle, disclosing the features of no
attractive woman, but the clean-shaven,
resolute face of man in his prime.
exit Gorham, 'the Yankee Terror by
all that's providential!" exclaimed the
detective, jubilantly. what stroke
of luck!"
"Curse you for laundering fool!'
snarled that worthy to his dazed ac-
complies; and, in fl of blind, uncon-
trollable fury, he kicked him again and
| gain in the face.
In due course, Gorham and his con-
federate, the exemplary Sherman, alias
.'The Spider" received their just de-
serts, and the generous reward of a
grateful city council removed all exist
ing obstacles to the fulfillment of my
dearest hopes.
And now, when the domestic atmos-
pheric conditions are trifle stormy
for Mrs. Whitworth has her moments
like all the dear eatures-I produce
my favorite, and I quietly remark:
| ''Let's see; his name was Sherman,
wasn't it-?"
On the whole, we are very happy
couple,-Tit-Bits.

Horse In a Hotel Parlor.

It is not often that horse is enter
tanned in the parlor of hotel and fed
from one of the best tables, but that
was the experience of Boston horse.
The animal was doing duty between
the shafts of huckster's wagon, and
had been hitched in front of hotel,
while the driver went around the cor
ner. Some practical joker released the
horse from his servile position and led
him up a short fight of steps to the
veranda and thence through the hall to
the parlor. A watermelon was taken
from the wagon, cut up and spread on
the table for the horse to eat There
was great excitement when the animal
was discovered contentedly swishing
his tail and devouring the succulent
fruit. 1t took six men to persuade the
horse to go down to the street, but all
efforts failed to find the ingenious
Joker.
