at the most convenient country or village, it is
possible that you may get seeds of fire stock and

that it is likely?
Do you buy seeds from general merchandise stores
because you believe that they have the best or is it
because you forget to order them from seedsmen
in time, find letter writing too much trouble?
Nobody buys seeds at second or third hand except
as a result of forgetfuness or Indifference, and if
you have been getting yours that way, it is time

news for Amos Rusie and wife represented
in court today that they had failed to agree
upon terms OF settlement outside of court,

litigation. Rusie's attorney argued that his
client Was not now employed and was not
drawing any salary from the National
League. while he is here attending to his
private business, and it was more than
prababe that this absence from his duties
would jeopardize his salary for the entire
season
An affidavit Was made by William Rusie,
father Of the pitcher. was also read in
court and showed that his son had no
property whatever and no interest in any.
and these TWO points we're urged against
the wife's petition for an allowance of 500
for attorneys fees The court finally en-
tered an order requiring Amos to paN his
wife 800 by May / as her expenses in the
suit and also 81 a week ill the case Is
finally decided. IL is the purpose Of Mrs.
Eusie 20 push the case to trial as soon
possible. and il is said that Amos viii
