me to smile than to work, that I may
get very lazy" said Evelyn, laughing
and blushing so bewitchingly that Mr..
Black was almost tempted to speak
the words that had been trembling on
his lips for the last month.
But instead of romantic avowal,
he remarked: "One never could think
of you as lazy. You have energy
enough for several ordinary men,"
"Thank you, Mr.. Black. But seri-
ously, our success is not at all due to
luck or magic, as many of our neigh
borhood friends seem to think. We
studied, discussed our plans, expert
mented, sometimes failed, tried again
and improved. We always wanted to
understand the why either of success
or failure, so that we could omit the
failures and duplicate the successes"
"There ought to be more young
women like you, but there is not sim
gle one." remarked Mr.. Black, appar-
emily to the nearest fig tree, and Eve
lyn continued earnestly:
Though we were often tired, we
were never really discouraged. just
what I call good tired; enough to
be hungry, but not enough to be ex-
hausted. 1t has seemed to me for
some time that this lovely fertile val
ley ought to furnish anyone with a
support who is not chronic invalid.
Think, too, that many who are classed
with the invalids could gain strength
by gentle, gradually increasing out
door exercise"
II agree with you there, and most
heartily. What know from sad ex-
perience with the average hotel in
valid would fill several volumes. By
the way, how does your brother en-
joy his part of the work."
'Much better than any Office en-
ployment He has gone to the city
to-day, or I would let him speak for
himself. He has branched out, too,
and has added fine lot of Belgian
hares to our other fancy stock. He
has been hiring a man part of the
time, and is making good profit. We
carry on separate concerns and yet
work together. Some time will ex-
plain how we manage our little BUSH
ness affairs. We have no chance to
feel homesick or complain about the
climate, I assure you"
"This is all extremely interesting,
and many thanks to you. have long
been wanting to mention a plan which
Il mean suggestion that-well, any
way, are you willing to let me call on
you this EVENING"" said the hotel man
ager, flushing and stammering in
way which made the young girl won
der if he was losing his mind.
Frank will be glad to see you, am
sure" she said, with that feminine
wickedness which characterizes the
most sensible of it's sex.
"Oh, excuse me for not making my
meaning clear, but when call, it will
be for the purpose of seeing you on a
very important-the most important
matter to me at least. But must say
good-by and hurry back to the hotel.
I am expecting large party of ex-

BOGUS FOOD PRODUCTS.
They Can Live Only So LOn2sas Thei1
Real Character Ii Hidden by
Lying Labels.

After all, some thing is to be hoped
for from national and state laws.
While it is true that many laws on our
statute books are. dead as to enforce
ment, or only partially enforced, yet
it is also true that some of the laws
that we supposed would be of little
effect have been enforced to the letter
and have accomplished all that could
be desired. We will instance the ma
tional law against "flled cheese" 1t
was not many years ago that one could
hardly buy a piece of cheese and be
sure it was wha it claimed to be. Filled
cheese has demoralized the home mar
ket and destroyed most of the for
eign demand for cheese made in the
United States. The filled cheese law
was passed, and the result has been
the almost complete obliteration of the
industry of making filled cheese. It
can still be made and sold, but
it cannot be sold for anything
besides what it is. What is the result?
It is found that no American wants
to buy the stuff, and so none is sold in
this country. Two factories in Hin OILS
still make filled cheese and sell it to
English firms. But even there the de-
mand is growing less. English mer-
chants last year imported 636,944
pounds, made in the United States and
Holland. 1t is made in no other coun-
try. The amount used in England last
year was not half of the amount used
two years before. Recently there have
been some prosecutions in the English
court on account of tradesmen having
sold filled cheese for the pure article.
It is probably true that all of this
cheese now leaving the United States
is going out fully branded under it's
own name, but it is altogether proba bic
that the consumer on the other side
of the water buys it for full cream
cheese. Its decadence proves that it
and ali things like it can live only so
long as their real character is hidden
by mask. We need therefore only
tear off the mask to destroy most of
the limit ton food products.-Farmers'

ABOUT BELGIAN HARES.
Bec edinH of This Animal as nm Indus
try Began, 1t Is Now Claimed,
Ten Years Ago.

In answer to number Of inquiries
in regard to the Belgian hare, we
find, upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal in this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
ly enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
of this constantly charging business.
It is claimed by them that no other
line of breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of the
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable. The cost
of producing the meat, it is claimed
is not over five cents pound at the
most, and we have been informed b..
breeders in the vicinity of Denver,
COL, that the meat in that market
sells from Is to 25 cents a pound.
The meat of young Belgian hare is
highly extolled by those who are ac-
quainted with its quality, and all such
unite in saying that as a toothsome
by any meat that comes to our tables.
The hare is exceedingly prolific, the
doe sometimes producing IS to so
young hares in the course of the
year, and does begin to breed at the
age of six months.
The food is that which is common
ly eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be provid-
ed from oats, clover, roots, bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed is an open shed that will
always be dry and must be clean.
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch. The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe, should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
be covered with wire netting. Cover
the bottom with fine straw. A litter
is from six to a dozen. When about
two months old the young are weaned
and the sexes separated. The weight
of Belgian, if pure bred, at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
The "Galleries" Are an Important
Part of Them as They Are
Now Conducted.

Goodwin Smith, describing in his
history of the United States the con-
vention which framed our federal
constitution, says that it "sat with
closed doors, as every assembly must
if it means really to deliberate, not
to talk to the galleries and the re-
porters."
Once in four years, after the great
national conventions for the nomina-
ton of candidates for president and
vice president, says Youths Compan-
ion, many persons are of opinion that
spectators ought to be excluded from
these assemblages. 1t is not pro-
posed to exclude the reporters, which
would be done were the doors strict
ly closed, in the sense referred to by
Prof. Smith, but to limit the conven-
ton to the delegates and alternates,
the newspaper reporters and perhaps
few distinguished guests.
The system which permits the pres
ence of many thousands of visitors,
applauding and shouting, permits
them also to exert great influence
over the deliberations of the dele
gates, and renders the convention
subject to the control of passing fren-
zies of emotion.
AS conventions are now conducted,
the spectators, or, as they are popu-
larly termed, "the galleries." play
not unimportant part. They do the
cheering; they raise banners; under
an enthusiastic leader they have been
known to start a march through the
hall in behalf of some candidate
whose name is before the convention.
The delegates are naturally Influenced
by such demonstrations; and yet it
is far from certain that the galleries
typify "the people" outside, for the
galleries are often packed in advance
with friends of a particular candi-
date.
However desirable more deliberate
conventions, state and national, may
be, the proposed change does not
make Roadway. It would take away
'half the fun" of convention, and
would thereby disappoint a great
number of people. But, after all, "the
fun" is the last thing to be consid-
cred when men are selecting the
rulers of the nation.

TAKE THE SHORT CUT.
ter Use Railways to Save Time
and Avoid Weather.

In these days of blistering heat
more people are using the Railways
of public buildings than usual. 1t is
not known to very many thousands
in Chicago that great deal of heat,
rain or wind of any sort may be avoid
ed by walking through buildings
with passageways which connect
street with street, says the Chronicle.
There are more of these buildings
than is generally known, and great
deal of disagreeable weather may he
avoided by taking these short cuts.
Not all the people seen entering sky.
scrapers and retail shops are going in
there to make business calls or pur-
chases. Many of them are merely
using the Railways for convenience.
By so doing they can walk under
cover, through ways which are cool
in summer and warm in winter. for a
considerable distance, sometimes com.
ing out into the open air a block
from where they started. Those
whose business requires them to be
on the streets much know these Sc.
cret ways and always take advantage
of them.
They know, for instance, that the
city hall and county building each Of
fers cool passage for block north
or south between Randolph and Wash
ington streets. They know that in
several retail shops on State street
there are ways of getting through to
Wabash avenue without being ex-
posed to the suns rays. They are
aware that the Board of Trade and
the Rialto buildings offer a passage
way from jackson to Van Buren,
streets. There are many Railways in
the shape of an L, such as are seen
in the Stock Exchange building, by
which they may avoid windy corners
and dlsconcerting crowds. Collect
ors, messenger boys and others whose
duties require them to be on the
streets great deal know all these
devices for saving time and trouble
and escape many a drenching rain
storm and many headache from the
| sun by reason of that knowledge.
