A Story of John Morrissey.

Henry L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass,
successor of Charles Sumner in the
senate, told the following story:
''When l was a judge in Pittsfeld
MorrisSey and Yankee Sullivan fought
n prize fight at a neighboring place
called Boston Corners. Sullivan was
arrested and fined $1,000. He handed
over the money and went his way. a
day or two later, while l was sitting on
the bench, Il fine looking man entered
the courtroom and sent letter up to
me. 1t was from a friend of mine in
Producing John MOrrissey. He, too,
was fined $1,000 and said to me that
he would send me his check on his re-
turn to New York.
''Well, 1 didn't know what might
happen if he was let go on that under
standing, but l said to MOrriSSey that
any arrangement for settlement which
he made with the sheriff would be sat
iSfactory. The sheriff, feeling as l
did, insisted upon having the fine paid
in cash, and since Morrissey didn't
happen to have that much cash with
him the sheriff locked him up until
the amount was sent on from New
York.
81 fancied that Morrissey felt he
owed me a grudge because of this in
cident. Years afterward in Washing
ton a number of new congressman
were brought up to be introduced to
me. Among them was Morrissey.
When he came forward, he smiled
and said, Mr.. Dawes, L believe we
have met before"

& Little Too Hot.

Little Janet, aged 4, noticed the 9TH
er day at dinner the rest of the family
helping themselves literally to the
mustard. Nobody offering her any,
she waited until something drew away
the attention of the others, when she
lifted the mustard spoon, literally
daubed a piece of bread with it and
took a great bite. Her hand immedi-
ately went up to her burned mouth;
but, bravely suppressing an outcry, she
put the bread away from her, remark
ing. Il thiSk I'll wait till that jelly gets
cold"

A careful woman, who breads gray
hair Gas what woman does not?), and
believes it is largely due to worry,
us es this method of prevention: She
keeps an ordinary note size writing
pad on her dressing table, and on this
she Jots down a list of engagements,
letters to be answered, business to be
attended to, articles needed for house
or for personal use, conveniences,
charities, and all other interests that
enter into busy life, as they come to
her mind. By this means she relieves
herself of the worrying sense of some
thing forgotten, which is apt to haunt
the woman or man whose days are
filed with multiplicity of demands,
and who has no secretary to keep him
or her remembering details.

OUR FARMERS.
KEEP UP The SUMMER MILK.

A very large share of Verm ont far
mers are dairymen. Every one OF
/ them has a barn more Or less well
equipped for the winter feeding of his
stock. They all labor in summer,
| sowing, cultivating and harvesting
crops for winter use. A large share
of them carry, to all intents and pur
poses, dry COWS only in winter, work
ing hard all summer simply to keep
the COWS alive during the winter, while
they are bringing in little or no in
come.
These same men, however, often
take no thought of means of summer
feeding of COWS. They depend solely
upon the pastures. 1t happens all too
frequently, however that pastures
dry up and the COWS shrink seriously
in their milk flow. 1t is difficult
thing to turn the tide backward. A
COW once shrunk in milk seldom re-
gains her former yield, and then with
difficulty. 1t seems the part of wis
dom for the farmers to divert some
of the energy which they now devote
to the growing of food for the main
tenance of dry COWS to the growing of
food for keeping up the milk flow
during summer. The larger use of
soiling crops, such as oats and peas,
Hungarian, rowen and the like, is we'll
worth while. Considerable amounts
may be grown without very great ex-
penditure of time or money, and they
are excellently we'll adapted to help
out short or dry pasture.
There is prehaps nothing better for
this purpose than silage. 1t has been
very thoroughly demonstrated that
placed in the cows manger by way
of the silo cheaper than in any other
manner. The silo capacity Of a dairy
farm should be made large enough, in
my Judgement, to enable one to
use silage all the time. The silo in
tended for summer ues, however,
should be deep and and with rela-
lively small surface area, to avoid
what otherwise might prove to be
large losses owing to fermentation.
The stave silo is now coming rapidly
into vogue, and is proving so very
useful for most purposes, and is so
readily put up and comparatively so
inexpenive for it's tonnage capacity,
that it is to be hoped that the number
of silos in Vermont will rapidly in
crease in the near future.

Ensilage has established it's claim as
an essential on all well-regulated
dairy farms. There are many who
affirm that ensilage possesses no ad-
but this claim is true only to limited
extent. 1t is safe to assert that there
are many farms upon which but little
attention is given to cutting corn
fodder at the proper time. Much of
the fodder produced every year is not
"well-cured," and it is not cared for
and used economically. With ensil
age the case is different 1t must be
cut at the proper stage Of growth and
it must be reduced to a fine condition
before it can be placed in the silo to
the best advantage. Farmers who
would not take pains to cut their
fodder with feed cutter are forced to
do so with ensilage. The result is that
in winter the ensilage is always ready
for use and is succulent. The finer it
is reduced the greater the capacity of
the silo for receiving it and the better
it can be put under pressure and pre-
served. If harvested just when the
ears are about to glaze, ensilage will
contain less water than when cut down
earlier, and will also contain all the
nutrition that is usually found in corn
fodder.

Instead of arranging flower pots
with plants on table or flower stand,
make a pretty box, fill it TO the depth
of two inches with sand, and set the
flower pots closely together inside the
box, the sides of which should extend
an inch above the pots.
Take any wooden box of the right
length and width, cut it down to the
required depth, and cover it on the
Inside with oil cloth in tile pattern
with an oak moulding in panel effect.
Such a box may easily be made at
home, and should cost but little.-Er.

with glee and frolic God made it so,
and it is your duty to accept it and to
provide means for innocent recrea-

aspirations are most rapidly develop
ed. Provide them with music, books
and papers, pictures and flowers, at
home; every appliance to awaken all
that is pure and noble in mind and in
heart. Let your children feel that
their fathers house is the dearest,
happiest spot on earth; and as they
pass into life's activities and RESPONSE
bilities, let them remember the home
of their childhood, not as the place Of
bitter words and hard drudging, where
they simply ate, and drank, and slept,

at Harrisburg, Pa, in the service OF the
United States az a humble private 10

one Of the i.gest spectators IN Ne"
York. He bought wheat by the lVo'
600 tons and when he sold IL lost hea'-
ily. In 1856 he astonished Cnlcago ~

In 1895 he married the Duchesse dt

ried An Italian duke and returned to
this country after the duke bad died
and lett her 100000. The marriage
took place 10 Rock Ledge, Florida, and
among the guests was Richard Croker,
the Tammany boss.
When DWyer's wife died she left him
$3.50, 900 and group OF islands OIL the
coast of Maine, which be sold for large
sum. In short time his money was
gone, and he was adjudged bankrupt
III New York 10 May, 1899. Then his
worst troubles began, for he lost his
friends. Last January he was active

mines Ia Mexico, where he had formerly
been a prosperous railroad builder, and
there was 81 100000 in sight, but the
scheme fell through. Then Dwyer
went to Portland, Ore but few weeks
ago decided to come East. He got as
far as Harrisburg, and was content to
do laboring work to get food. This
disgusted him, and yesterday he enlist
ed in the marines. He was taken WITH
a squad OF recruits to League Island,
Philadelphia, yesterday evening
