ON THE SOCIETY RUSH l..

He adored her, anil she had enga ye-
ments ahead for all social functions in
sight and what was in sight
Therefore she was a very busy young
woman. 1t would have made her very
unhappy to have been idle under the
circumstances.
He was more than anxious to have
a moment with her, in order to tell
her what was in his heart, notwith-
starding she partially knew by reason
of his persistent attentions and the few
words he had been able to fling at her
during the rus'.
The desire to speak to her, definite
ly, grew upon him, however, until lie
could resist no longer, and lie thrust
himself upon her one evening at a func-
ton of some sort, where among SO many
people, he thought to find obscurity
for few brief moments.
Il beg your pardon,' he said to her,
anxiously, earnestly. pleadingly, ''hut
| have something to say to you and [
want to see you alone for just one
minute"
II am very sorry she replied, "but
Mr.. Smithlets is waiting for me there
by the door
"Let him watt he said desperately;
"his engagements is for an hour, mine
is for all time"
"Oh," she answered, ''is that 1t? Very
well; just consider that | have said
yes Now run along like 4 good boy
and come around Sunday afternoon. |
am to have few people in between 4
and 6 o'clock"
Then his soul was filled with the 10y
unutterable, and with glad smile he
moved through the gi1dy throng and
his heat was at rest.
Every true strength is gained in
struggle.

and, therefore, a loss to

manufacturer, and, therefore, loss to
the producer.
For example, the French contract
calls for so many hogsheads of the
three grades, A, 3 and c, into which
Maryland tobacco is rated. Shipments
must be made of a certain percentage
of each quality, and if, out ofa shipment
of hundred hogsheads rated A by
the producer, inspection should throw
a dozen hogsheads into q lower grade,
because of careless sorting and pack
ing, there being just so much less of
the A grade, which is the finest for
export, the exports of the lower grades
would be p1oportionately curtailed.
1t was owing to this defect in pack
ing, as much as to the poor quality Of
the last crop, that the Schumachers
declined last year 10 ship more than
the $4,000 hogsheads. The total out
put last year being estimated at about
$4,000 hogsheads, it will be seen that
the French contract shipments practi-
cally fix the market price of the article
and for this reason especial attention
should be directed toward meeting
the requirements of the largest pur-
chaser. This years crop, which pre-
misses a high average, will reach
10000 to $4,000.
The Germans have heretofore been
the chief buyers after the French.
Next to them have come the Dutch,
while England, which once bought
largely of the Maryland article, and
Spain, has almost entirely ceased to be
a customer, owing, it is said, to bad
packing and sorting. Should there be
a reform in this line, and the Western
demand continue, there will no longer
be any mortgaged farms in Southern
Maryland.
Remarkable as it may seem, Mary.
land tobacco, which is used by the
French government to add strength
and burning quality to the mixtures
which it manufactures, and which is
equally valuable in the smoking com
| blnations used by the Germans, Dutch
Spanish and English, has never beer
extensively used in America. None
of the standard brands contain Mary
land tobacco, although a limitet
quantity has been used by the trust
houses. American manufacturers have
hitherto preferred to use the cheaper

NOS
SUNSHINE AND COMFORT
FOR STOCK.

There is no gift Of nature which ben
efits Der creatures so percoptibIy as
sunshine. Animals should have sum
shine in the winter time. but they
should he protected from the cold
winds and rain and not allowed to take
three days of sunshine to q dozen of
rain, snow or sleet. The paddock
should be so arranged that the horses
and cows may take q few hours sun
ming every day when Old Sol is bright
and warm and not densed by clouds.
An ideal summing apartment is the
shed, opening to the south; this a
rangement protects the stock from the
the wind from the North, East or
West. and at the same time admits the
comforting sunshine which is much
like bath in warm water, giving the
animals restful, lazy feeling Of solid
comfort. What is more pleasing to
look at on the farm than a weli-fed
COW standing under the shed in the
sunshine chewing her cud, with half
closed eyes, caring not for anything,
but resting in luxury and comfort
That cow will produce milk and but
ter, too, and in paying quantities and
good quality.
Barns in which COWS or horses are
kept during the winter should be close
and warm; the cracks should be stop
ped with strips or sheet Of tarred pa
per could be tackled on the inside-any
thing to keep the wind out. Animals
that are subjected to the cold eat more
than those having warm, comfortable
quarters; they have to eat in order to
keep up the heat of the body. A
shivering horse will eat more corn than
warm one Try it. And it is cruel
to feed stock watery feed, such as en-
silage, when they are standing around
drawn up bow-like and shivering. No
sane man will expect his cows to give
milk abundantly when they have to
stand out without protection and take
| whatever comes.
A farmer can sleep better, rest bet
ter, and feel better citizen if, when
he rctircs, he knows his stock are COM
Portable; wien he hears the cold wind
whizzing and whistling, the trees
crack, and the old cat new, indicating
a snowstorm or blizzard, he can feel
at rest so far as his stock is concerned;
and no good farmer can feel easy when
he knows his cattle and horses are suf-
fering from the cold because of his neg
lect and inattention to their needs. A
day or two spent in fixing the barns
and sheds for the winter occupancy OF
the stock would return large measure
of reward. Animals have feelings
suffer cold, and are injured hy being
subjected to it throughout the winter,
and some day farmers will pay more
attention to the matter of comfortably
housing them.

THE LANGUAGE
OF FLOW ERS.

According to tradition, sky-blue de-
notes amiability, gcntleness and power;
pale yellow, riches, knowledge
and deceit. Orange is significant
of splendor, intelligence and false
ness; while rose-pink is emblema-
tic of youth, gayety and affection; in
a dark tone it reads joy, victory and
love. Damask-red pertains to digni-
ty, pomp and ostentation. Dark blue
belongs to friendship and fidelity
combined with peace. White repre-
sents purity, innocence and refinement ;
gray, sadness, indifference and age,
violet, nobility; maroon, if in very rich
fabric, modest elegance, but more COM
monty it belongs to poverty and resig-
nation. Tender silver green is the
accompaniment of youthful hope; deep
green indicating vigor, strength, trust
and plenty. Colors are of great antiq-
ulty, and frequent mention of them is
made in the Bible To the cochineal
insect we are indebted for the carmine
and scarlet; ivory and bone black are
produced from ivory clippings; the
cuttlc-ish supplies sepia and from the
camel we have Indian gold. Turkey
red is produced from the madder plant,
which grows in Hindoostan; Prussian-
blue is manufactured by fusing horses
hoofs with impure battassium carbon
ate, the natural earth of Sienna fur
nishes raw sienna, and that of Embria,
when burnt, lumber. Every nation out
of Europe employs different hue as
its sign of mourning. For instance,
faint brown, to symbolic withered
leaves, is worn in Persia the Ethio-
plans and Abyssinian don smoke brown
as significant of earth; the Chinese
array themselves in white, emblem of
white-Aanded hope; AL sapphire blue
is chosen in B).lha.a. In Egypt and
Burmah yellow indicates losses, the
shade of the serc and faded leaf; and
in Turkey we find violet fashions the
garment of grief.

Told of General Sam Houston

Gen. Samuel Houston, named by the
people of his State as 'the Washington
of Texas" was born in Virginia in
1893. His widowed mother removed
to Tennessee when he was 9 years old.
Here he lahored on the farm and went
to school until he was 16. There was
a settlement of Cherokees about nine
miles from his home, where he made
frequent visits and learned to speak
the Cherokee language. He was
ad, ped as son OF John jolly, chief,
and formally admitted to the tribe.
He was equal to them in feats of
strength, agility, hunting, boating and
horsemanship. He lived with them
three years, until the war of 1912 broke
out, when he enlisted as private SOL
dicr; was intimate with Gen. jackson,
promoted to first lieutenant and re-
signed in 1918. He was elected twice
to Congress from Tennessee, and in
1927 was Governor of that State. In
January, 1929, he married Miss Nir-
ginia Fraser, the belle of Nashville.
In about two months after his marriage
the Governor of Tennessee suddenly
resigned, left his wife and disappeared.
This act caused a great sensation
through the country. Houston was
regarded at the time as the most prom
ising public man in the South. He
had won distinction in Congress, his
administration as Governor was sue
cess:ul and his popularity was un-
bounded. He had the friendship Of
Jackson, and many thought that Hous-
ton would one day occupy the Presi-
Dental chair But he flung away all
opportunities, all the honors that had
been sllowered on him; flung away the
pleasures and comforts of civilized life
and took up his residence among the
Indians.
Houston never told his most init
mate friends of the cause of this most
strange act of his life. When any of
them would touch upon the subject he
would curtly say: "Sir, let us speak Of
something else" But it became known
afterward that Virginia loved John
Endicott and was secretly engaged to
him, but under the pressure OF her am
bitious parents influence had accepted
Houston attentions, and he married
her without the least suspicion Of the
facts, so carefully had the designing
mother drilled the daughter; and these
points being known led to reasonable
surmisc that Houston discovered his
witcs sorrow and she confessed the
facts to him. John Endicott, at the
time, was the Governor private Sec
retary. 1t is also said that Houston
afterward wrote to her 4 very kind
letter, in which he advised her to get a
divorce, which she did, and married
her lover
Houston spent the night, until day
break, in his office, wrote his resi- gna-
tion to the Legislature, went through
his papers, destroying some and rear
ranging others, and having concluded
his affairs went back to his house and
found that Virginia had gone to ber
mother. He then went to the stable
mounted his horse and left the town.
We next hear of him at Cairo, at the
mouth of the Ohio river, a small trad
ing POST at that time. Here he pur-
chased boat and loaded it with a
stock Of groceries and goods for Indian
trade; also, salt, bacon, whisky, tobac-
co, etc. He had some experience when

Nothing makes me so tired" ex-
claimed Green rs he threw aside the
weekly humorous paper, "as these
about mothcr-in-law in our family who
is the dearest, sweetest, best woman on
earth. She has done more for me
than any other human being, and she's
all the world to me-"
"Well, you're the first man that |
ever heard say such things about his
mother-in-law."

dead, and the old chief mourned over
him piteously, but he recovered in q
few days after the tender care they
gave him. His rcmorse for this act
caused change in his life. He be-
came sober and at 4 called convention
of the Cherokees he publicly apologiz2d
for his errors, begging them to forget
his faults, said he intended to leave the
nation and shook hands with all in
token Of amity.
Over the river, at Fort Coffee, lIous-
ton had frequent and friendly inter-
course with the officers Of the post. 1t
was here that he received his mail after
his retreat was known, and letters came
to him from Washington, Nashville
and Little Rock The invasion of
Texas was being organized by Col.
Travis. Houston was in communca-
ton with the leaders Of the movement
and he decided on his course in that
direction, although he had thought OF
joining Bonnevile's exploring eXpedi-
ton. He had lived among the Chero.
KEGS about three years. The fever OF
excitement that lel him there had
burned ont. There was an atfectionate
parting b>,wtrn hin anl Tallihina
He mounted his Indian pony and came
down to Van Buren, and Fort Smith
stayed few days at Capt. Rogers
Hotel, and started on his road to Texas
Maj. John Henry, of Van Buren,, and
Mai. Elias Re tor, of Fort Smith, ac
companied him on the road as far as
Boggy depot, in the Choctaw Nation
where they parted. Houston was poor
addressed and riding Il pony. Johr
Henry dismounted from his fine horse
and exchanged for the pony, and Maj
Rector gave him fine pair of pistols
This was in the year 1882.
For his brilliant and successful ca
reer in Texas as Il soldier and states
man his name is bright in the history
of our country.
Houston did not forget his Chcroket
wife, and after the excitement Of tht
Texan campaign he wrote and asket
her to rejoin him. This she refused tt
do, saying that she would not be con
tented or happy away from home. Sh'

or six years there. She died from al
attack Of pneumonia and was burie(

The writer met Gen. Houston whel
he was member of Congress in 1859
spent several evenings in his company
and learned much of Houston's caree
during the three years that he livet
among the Western Chcrokees.
Houston was a stern Jackson MAJ
and could not reconcile his mind to th'
idea of secession and disunion. Th,
Texans forgot all he had done TO
them, in the frenzy of the secession
movement, and he was invited to resiyl
from his high position. He did SO
and lived for several years ostraciset
and ignored in his home at Huntsville
where he died.
