Horse Trade Rules.

David Harum was a good horse
trader, but a recent transaction in
horseflesh which was made by we'll
known Memphian shows that there
are others who know how 10 get the
long end of horse trade. Several
weeks ago this Memphis man saw
fine buggy horse waich he thought
he wanted. He located the owner and
asked the pirce. "One fifty" was the
reply. After looking the animal over
closely and trying her speed he con.
.cluded it was a good trade. and with
out more ado wrote a check for the
amount. The next day he found that
the mare was as blind as a bat, but
this did not hinder her speed nor de-
tract from her general appearance,

is REGISTERED AT THE CLAY
TON HOUSE.
Captain John d. Hart, the noted
Cuban flibuster OF the steamer I.au-
rada. is registered at the Clayton
House.
There is a web OF romance about
Captain Hart that is well known not
only to Wilmington, but the world in
general. Prior to the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. and while Cuba was fight
ing for its independence Captain Hart
was in command of the Laurada, and
was engaged In filibustering expeoi-
tions between this country and the
Cuban capital, carrying arms and am
munition to thei Insurgents. He was
finally captured and tried in Philadel-
phia on a charge of violating the neu-
trality laws, and received a sentence
of a term In the penitentiary.
For several months he was incarcer-
ated, but upon the breaking out Of hos
tilities between the United States and
Spain Captain Hart was pardoned by
President Mckinley Then it appears
that marital troubles began between
Hart and his wife They agreed TO dis
agree. and each wanted possession Of
their daughter Grace The child was
finally given into custody OF her
mother, but was afterwards recovered
by Captain Hart, who alleged that his
wife was not the proper person to
care for the little one.
On Friday afternoon last a stalwart
man walked into the Clayton
House. he was assigned to a
room and went up stairs to arrange
mis- toilet, but In a few moments re-
turned to the lower floor with a look
OF expectancy upon his face. In a few
moments charming little miss. aged
about 10 years entered the hotef and
ana inquired If papa was there
Who Is your papa? was the query
from an attache. why Captain Hart. /"
she replied, don't you know him. nv

and father and daughter were in fond
embrace.
shortly after meeting Of father and
daughter, another character appeared
upon the scene. the third personage
Deing Mrs. Hart. She was shown to
her husbands room and then the two
rather, mother and daughter met. Later
captain Hart registered John ID. Hart
WIFE ana child of Philadelphia.
After tho house had become quiet a
dlssension arose between the gallant
captain and his wife and the warfare
waged so high that other bOarders were
disturbed in their slumbers. 81 love
you John, said Mrs. Hart. "and have
loved you for eleven years. and Won
know IT,"
That's all night" responded the
captain, "thats all right" etc. and So
on.
mo it isn't all right" replied Mrs
Hart you've disgraced me every-
where and you want to disgrace me
here '''S
After much more talk on a similar
line, quiet was restored. and the counle
sull remain at the hotel with their
child.
The Laurada was we'll known in this
city, having laid at the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Company's wharves for
some time last year. She was later
purchased by a Philadelphia firm. trad
ing with Alaska. and during one of her
trlps was burned to the waters edge.

Clearing Fields of Stou es.

In the first place, when clearing a
field of stones, pick up all on top be-
fore blowing the field, and when break
ing sod have man with pickax fol-
low the plow and pick up all that are
in sight. If a subsoil plow is used, it
would be good plan to pick after
that, too. Throw the stones in small
piles and it will be easier to haul them
off later.
Our method has been to never plow
down any stones if we could possibly
find time to haul them off, and by
taking one field at time, cleaning
that as much as possible by picking
before plowing and after narrowing,
once or twice, the farm will soon be
clear of all stones. The boulders we
dispose of in various ways. One is to
aig out hole at one side of them SO
deep that they will sink out of the
way for the plow, throwing the dirt
back over them again. Another is to
twitch them out of their hole with the
team and haul them away, burying
them in the covered drains or using
them in stone walls.
