some Christmas tree, for his mother
was assisting the Wallets in attend

who was ill. He had made will,
leaving $4,000 absolutely to Lucy
De Freese. The remainder OF his
estate be lett to his wife and chill

Last Saturday it was Harry
Christians time to die and he died.
Lucy De Freese sent out for an un-
dertaker and had black coffin
brought to the house. The coffin
was placed in theparlor on Sunday
and Lucy De Freese donned the
weeds OF a widow. a. -i
The real widow came to the house
on Sunday. There was, short,
earnest conversation, at the conclu-
sion of which, Lucy DeFreese,
stunned by the power OF the wrong
ed woman, agreed to retire to the
remote rooms and take no further
part in the arrangements for the
funeral. Mrs. Christian sent for
DR.. Parkinson and advertised in
the papers that the funeral would
be held Tuesday morning.
Tony DeFreese came on Sunday
night, and, after working himself
into frenzy, tried to throw the
coffin out of the window. Mrs.
Christian send for Policeman Bran
non and he escorted Tony DeFreese
to the station and locked him up.
The next morning he was turned
loose and has not been seen since.
Lucy DeFreese sent out to for
lists and got a large floral heart
Monday afternoon, while Mrs.
Christian was absent When Mrs.
Christian returned to the house in
the evening, she ordered that the
floral heart, which had been placed
alongside the coffin, should be taken
to the kitchen. 1t was taken to the
kitchen.
Lucy DeFreeee, barred from the
ceremony, sobbed and moaned and
her sobs and means were heard in
the room where the dead man lay.
Those who are close to Mrs.
Christian say she will drive Lucy
DeFreese from the Fort Hamilton
avenue house; that she will seek to
have the $50, 900 bequest set aside;
that she will make Lucy DeFreese
suffer as she has suffered.

It Is held that laughter is a good
tonic and has Il salutary effect at
all seasons and at all times. 1t is
also held that the person who pro-
notes laughter is in'the nature of a
benefactor, and at all events, it is
certain that the man of merry and
jocose mood is always more well
come than the saturnine, long
visaged gentleman, with the dole
full mien and an air of disgusting
tiredness. 1t is undoubtedly for
this reason that comic plays are
held in high regard BY the public,
and that the actor of comic scenes
becomes in time man of great
popularity. Now, no one will deny
that the stage has few stronger
favorites than William II. Crane.

Care OF Milk in Summer.

Assistant Dairyman H. E. Van
Norman, of the Indiana experiment
station, is the author of an instruc.

of Milk and Cream" He advises thor.
ough cleanliness in and about the
dairy while handling the milk and
cream, and particularly while milk
ing. Cows usually have much dust
and particles of manure in their hair,
next the skin, and when the mixer
does his work this germ-laden dust
falls into the pail. It is estimated that
2,02o bacteria fall into the milk from
an unwashed udder as compared with
80 when the udder is washed Just
before milking. In spite of the best
efforts some bacteria will get into the
milk, and this makes it necessary to
cool the milk as quickly as possible
to so degrees or below. Cooled to As
degrees the bacteria in the milk are
inactive.

marsh, who for tir,e adopted ethe
calling of pearl-fisher in Australian
waters, tells this story of meeting a
submarine monster: It was muddy
day, and everything in consequence
looked blurred and exaggerated. In
the yellow distance saw an immense
dark object moving slowly toward
me. AS it came nearer, I made out u
central body with several great arms
or feelers waving rhythmically. My
heart was in my mouth. / felt sure
it was an octopus. Then, when was
about to stir up the mud at my feet,

walked slowly, his heavy boots raising
the mud behind him like cloud Of
dust, and his great central eye
CLEANED darkly. Although. I knew
him to be'a man, it was with, difficulty
that I refrained from taking to my
heels. At sight of me he, too, was
startled; but he quickly recovered,
and we shook hands. Then we nod

The captain, aside from his military
accomplishments, has many social &C.
quirements. He answers a question
in the negative by a vigorous shake OF

an acquiescent nod. He takes up a

that a large pair of spectacles gives
him he pores over the columns with
apparent deep interest.

HORSES STAMPEDED BY DOGS.
Many Animals Dash Down the Steep
Street Railway Incline at
Kansas City.

While drove of 1000 horses bought
for the British cavalry was being
driven through Kansas City, Mo-. the
other morning to be loaded for ship
emnt they were stampeded by dogs and
charged through the streets with a
wild rush. The 80 drivers kept the
main herd within some measure Of con-
troll, but a bunch of IS, headed by
George Tate, one of the finest driving
horses in the west, became separated
from the others and dashed down the
Ninth street incline, a long street rail-
way trestle leading from the bluffs
to the Union depot, and hanging for
part of the distance fully 100 feet in
the air.
Many of the panic-stricken animals
fell between the sleepers before they
had gone far, but several made their
way to the foot of the incline, where
they became involved in gates and
tracks. One of them was wedged in
the wheel gate through which passen-
gers walk as they pay their fares to the
cars. Another got into the box of the
man who takes the fares.
Officers gathered up extra revolvers,
expecting to be obliged to shoot every
animal, but it developed that not one
of the stampeding horses was injured
past recovery and none of all those
that fell through had leg broken.

COLOR OF THE SKIN.
1t Really Indicates Nothing Althouxh
Some Buyers Of Cows Pay
Attention to 1t,

The color Of q cows skin is thing
that counts for much in the estima-
ton of many purchasers of dairy
cows. Especially in the case of the
Jersey is it believed that a yellow
skin indicates much yellow in the
milk in the way of cream. But when
we get down to reality and away
from fancy we are compelled to &C.
knowledge that the yellowness of skin
indicates nothing, and that color Of
the skin does not denote high breed
ing. Some of the best Jerseys have
skin that is nearer white than yell
low. There may indeed be connec-
ton between the color Of the skin and
the color of the milk, but there is
none between the color of the skin
and the amount of butter fat in the
milk. There is, however, a value in
a yellow skin as well as in q yellow
butter, because people have a fancy
for the yellow color in both, and are
willing to pay more for COW that
has yellow skin than for cow
with white skin. For this reason it
is best to breed in the color where
it can be done without sacrificing
something disclaimers Review.

her example she never failed to lead
them to success.
When springtime ycame, and with it
the ambition of the farmers to be up
and doing, so impatient were they for
the coming of Rebecea that some one
was chosen whose duty it was to an
nounce her arrival and note her move
ments. When the welcome i1telli-
gence, "Rebecca has come" went
forth, the good housewives knew she
would soon be putting her house in
order. and, made haste to follow aer
example.
But seedtime had not yet come
not until the discovery of the first
egg laid snugly in the nest. Then
would blowing and planting begin and
all kinds of farm work go confidently
forward, for never once in all the years
had Rebecca misled them.
Up to this time each year she
reigned supreme. but later her duty
in that direction was done. Two
round-eyed babies with hungry mouths
laid in the downy nest, and Rebecca
in her devotion was obliyiouss to the

outcome of the crops. as maternal du-
ties occupied her mind for. the rest
