In an uptown political club they are
telling a story at the expense of the
wife of one of the members-a man
who had suddenly arisen from poverty
to comparative aff1uence through a
garbage contract. A new house had
been purchased in a good neighbor-
hood, and the wife spent many busy
days in furnishing it. When she
reached the item of mattresses she
went to big department store on
Market street and made known her
wants to polite salesman. 81 pre-
sumo, madame" he said, "that you
want the best spring mattresses" "Not
at ALL" was the quick retort. "You
needn't think because I am rich I'm
easy. A spring mattress, indeed!
Sure, want mattresses you can use in
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Pm not buyin' mattress for every
season in the year." Philadelphia Call.

she insists on their being in hell and
mourns their loss. Christianity has
brought in new convert and de-
strOyed home.
Again, the foreigners, as rule, have
been hard and uncompromising in
their treatment and were continual
and persistent oppressors. For the
least personal injury or damage they
would demand exorbitant damages, or
life. These "civilized" foreigners, who
would stare in horror at the execution
of such a penalty as death for say
theft if witnessed in their mother
country, with utterable calmness cause
its enforcement there and often know
ing that the very parties the mandarin
so recklessly condemned, are in fact
absolutely innocent of the crime.
"They are only Chinamen!" 1t reminds
me of an account wherein it was stated
that while certain ship was entering
the harbor at San Francisco with a
large number of Cinnamon, a health
officer boarded and enquired: "How
many deaths ?" Nobody died." replied
the captain,-"only fed ffty-two China
men to the fishes"
In China, a theft, an attack or rob-
berry is sufficient to bring the death
penalty in force; and little value is
placed on the life of common China
man, especially in the eyes of the
mandarins. But nevertheless, they are
very sensitive as to any wrongful act
or other injury perpetrated upon them
by foreigners.
While the atrocities recently CON-
mitted about Pekin must be deemed
barbarous and inexcusable, the cause
OF the present upheaval does not really
date from that moment. The Celes-
tials of the Flowery Kingdom have
tolerated and suffered the indignities
OF foreigners for many years. Eng
land has taken city after city from
them, forced the opium trade upon
her, and the missionaries. Then again
they are persistently harassed by bands
OF white outlaws who secret them
selves in the outskirts and shoot down
Cinnamon like they would wild beasts,
for the purpose of robbing them of
any valuable roots, etc., they may pos
sess. When caught in the act they set
up the excuse of self defense and by
appeal to the legation, generally go
free. These are but few of the out
RACES forced upon China and in which
all Christian nations have taken part.
more or less.
The following questions therefore
arise: Should we condemn an empire
that is a menace to no nation? a peo-
pie that mind their own business and
simply ask to be let alone? In the
name of civilization, should we force
a new religion and government upon a
distant people who profess to be per
fectly contented as they are? Never.

package had had the painful pleasure
of paying for &C. O. d." delivered
wrongfully some time before, and he
was not going to run any chances
again and leave goods without the
money, although he knew who Mrs.
Harrison was and had delivered many
packages there all of which were
charged. But here was one marked G.
o. d. He thought to himself, L guess
something must be wrong or else these
swell people are hard up and can't pay
their bills.
His ring at the door was answered
by a servant girl. package here,
ma'am, c. o. D. $780," The girl said,
"Why! how is this? we never receive
any G. o. D. packages"
"My order, miss, can't leave goods
without the money, got to take 'em
back"
"Well just wait a minute and will
speak to Mrs. Harrison"
Mrs. Harrison came down in a rage.
"HOw dare your folks send me a pack
age in this manner? The idea that you
can't leave them without the money.
Well you just take them back with my
compliments and tell Mr.. Buyam that
they have seen me in their store for
the last time. A nice way to treat
their best customer sending goods c.
o. d." and she slammed the door in
the poor drivers face, not that he cared
a rap, it was not his funeral, so he SIM
ply threw the bundle back in the
wagon and made his other deliveries.
On his return he went up to the par
eel clerk with the bundle, threw it
down saying: "Somebody's got them
selves in a lovely mess, sending this
package to the crack customer of the
store with a c. o. D. on it. She said
she is insulted."
The parcel clerk foresaw trouble and
called Smith the foorwalker. He held
up his hands in holy horror, "What
idiot made this blunder ?" murphy
the new man, sir" Upstairs, two at a
jump he went straight to Mr.. Buyam's
private Office.
"pardon me, Mr.. Buyam, but here's
that Ounce of Murphy that was hired
because he was good grocery clerk
and who we thought would make as
good one in dry goods, sends a pack
age to Mrs. Harrison c. o. D. She tells
the driver she is insulted and will
never come into the store again."
"This is pretty how do you do"
says Mr.. Buyam, eff he is so thick
headed as that we must get rid of him.
Send him up here at once"
Murphy's good-natured smile left
him when he saw the floOrwalker COM
ing towards him with black scowl in
his face. "You've served your last day
in this store Mr.. Smarty, you are want
ed up in the firms private office where
you will find Mr.. B. with very partic-
ular message to convey to you," said
Smith, trying to be as sarcastic as he
could, for he did not like Murphy who
had become very popular in the short
time he had been in the store.
With heavy step Murphy made his
way to the Office. "Come ln," was the
answer to his rap and he stood in the
presence of the angry Buyam. "My
dear sir, do you know what you have
done by your foolish, nonsensical, ut
terly absurd action in sending a c. o.
d. package to Mrs. Harrison? You
have lost us the best customer we have
in this institution, and now I think
you had better go to the cashier, get
your pay and clear out, we can't afford
to have man around this place who
loses customers for u.s."

COVER FOR HAYsTACK.

board up side by laying the studding
six feet apart and cutting the boards of
that length. When you have the two
sides boarded place the two ends of the
sections together. This will be the
apex of the cover. The two by tours
should have been left projecting few
inches in order TO bolt the two sides
together at the apex. This cover will
form roof that will turn all storm and
preserve the hay as well as though
stored in a barn. AS they are made in
sections of six feet each, only that
much of a stack need be cut down at a
time. In order to hold the covers firm
~ in place, bore an inch hole in the low
er ends of the two by tours and with a
piece of smooth wire or rope hang a
heavy weight to it, or stake it down to
the ground.
This cover will be found especially
useful in the spring of the year. Farm
ers all know the value of good hay to
working horses and also to stock even
when there is an abundance of green
feed. However, good hay is scarce
article in the spring. If it has been I'M
protected or exposed it is certain to be
musty and spoiled. And where stack
is open to the spring rains it soon be-
comes unfit for use.-J. L. Irwin, in

SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY.
That Corn Can BE Used with
Excellent Results.

The experience of last summer, so
far as the hay crop was concerned.
ought to put farmers on their guard
to avoid like result this year. 10
the man whose experience in growing
forage crops is limited, corn should be
the crop on which to bank, not only
for needed summer fodder, but to har-
vest as substitute for hay, if needed.
The soil should be well fitted and en-
riched, and the seed of the variety Sc
lected drilled in so that it may be
dropped in three rows at a time. Guilt
vate in the usual way, and that portion
not used as green food during the sum-
mer should be harvested before frostin
the fall. If we'll cut, cured and housed,
this corn stover will make an excellent
substitute for'hay if properly manip-
ulated before being fed. Vast guam
titles OF corn fodder are yearly ruined
by being left in the field cut and uncut
during heavy frosts that take much of
it's nutriment. If a silo is not on the
farm, store the corn stalks under cover
after curing, and when about to feed,
cut in machine that will split the
stalks as we'll as cut them. Moisten the
fodder with ground grain and. all of
the stock, even the horses, will thrive
upon it.-Prairie Farmer. ...
