Colonel Jim Bacon Gives LifeIIke Picture
Of Him Before and After.

OF Him Before and AFTER.
He goes home late in the night to his
weary wife with fuss x breath, shaky
legs and cold feet, He riseth up be-
times and goeth forth without his
breakfast, saying, II go to see man."
He cheweth a Glove when he meeteth
lady, and when he converseth with the
preacher he standeth against the wind
and curbeth his breath as with strong
bit. The deadbeat lieth in wait for him
and pulleth his leg cruelty. He sub
scribeth daily to the famine-sufferers
in India. He helpeth to build new
church to be called Sweet Deliverance,
and quoteth a text from second Cali
thumpians. He "naileth lie," but be-
fore election day comes he runneth
short Of nails. He attempteth a still
hunt, and is accused of gross immoral1-
ties. He giveth literally to rich old
churches, and buyeth porous plaster
for an old woman with running sore
on her leg. He subscribeth good sum
to the band, and patteth his foot to
Hot Times" He contributeth to .he
poor man whose empty hull Of barn
was burned. He burieth dead baby
He fetcheth a small keg hither and
|sendeth a large keg thither. Indeed he
yieldeth up all his heart and hand and
substance with smiling alacrity.
Then after election-wnich is next
Tuesday-he goeth hurriedly back Of
the barn and kicketh himself with un-
feeling violence. He teareth his hair,
rendeth his garment. and calleth him
self most justly, Rotterdam fool. He
|returneth mournfully to the house, and
addresseth himself to the pale, weary
wife of his bosom, saying: Behold
driveling idiot! Look now upon dod-
rotted fool! Gaze upon busted, flab-
bergasted simpleton! Cast your eyes
upon a gourd-headed jumping jack,
with not sense enough to carry entrails
to a blind bear!" Then the wife Of his
bosom replieth dryly and drearily: II
told you so''-which causeth him to
hurry behind the barn again, and, after
kicking himself with still more violence,
to go forth further and drown his sor-
row in fuss X.-Edgefield Chronicle.

Sowing GRASS SEEDS.-H. E. c.:
There are two periods for sowing grass
and clover seeds-in the autumn and IN
the spring. The seeds of all hardy
plants, among which are embraced the
various clovers Gucerne) and vetches
are more appropriately sown in the au-
tumn-from the middle of September
until the last of October-while those of
a tender character, embracing the ma
jority of the grasses. are more appro-
priately sown in the Spring-February
and March. The advantages of fall
sowing consists chiefly in giving the
crop of grass or clover chance to get
a good start of the weeds and native
grasses, and secure to the crop the ad-
vantage of the steady moisture during
the wet season, wherein the plant may
get we'll established before droughty
weather occurs to retard the spread of
the roots.
Lucerne, especially, is much more
readily established when sown in the
fall, and in starting ont to establish a
meadow with this superior plant we
should prefer to wait until fall rather
than to attempt it In the spring. The
apparent loss of time will be more than
made up for the end of the second year.
In sowing grass or clover seeds in
the spring the most importan. thing Is
to have the soil put in good condition
by the liberal use of the harrow. The
soil should be narrowed until it is thor
oughly pulverized, and after sowing the
seeds they should be pressed into the
soil by running a roller over it. This
is all sufficient covering. The mistake
is often made of covering grass and
clover seeds too deeply. 1t is well to
remember that a crop that Is we'll put
in is half made, and no pains should
be begrudged crop that is to continue
as many years as an improved pasture
or meadow Is designed to last.
Until our Southern farmers come to
appreciate the advantages Of good pas
lures and meadows, we need not look
for any great improvement in their
condition. 1t is time they were giving
them the attention they deserve.

PREPARING FOR FALL WHEAT.

In nearly all cases the sooner the
plowing for fall wheat is commenced
after the harvest work Is finished, the
better. The weather is usually hot ant
dry, and the longer the stubble is lef
unplowed the harder the work will bt
ion the men and the teams.
It will save time to have two gooe
shares at least with each plow, and tt
keep them sharp, otherwise the worl
will be much harder on the men ant
teams.
While deep, thorough plowing Is al
ways the best, it Is hardly advisable
to deepen the plowing too much Al
once. If the ground has always beer
plowed shallow heretofore, two or three
inches deeper is as much as should be
done at one time. Next year two OF
three inches more Of subsoil can be
turned up; but If too much Of the sub
soil is brought to the surface at any
one time, especially for wheat, the re.
suits will not be satisfactory. While
there may be plenty of plain food in the
newly turned subsoil, yet it will nearly
always be in an unavailable condition
and will need the action Of sun, rain
and frost to make it available.
One fairly deep, thorough plowing, in
good season, will give better results
than two skimmings. In many cases II
will be more economical to use a 16-inch
plow with three horses, as more and
better work can be done in this way al
a less cost than with a smaller pillow
and two horses.
Care should be taken in plowing to
turn everything on the surface COM
pletely under. Stubble, weeds, stalks
and trash of all kinds should be turned
under. While there may not be a very
large quantity Of fertilizing value in
stubble stalks, yet the mechanical ef-
feet is so beneficial that it will always
pay to turn everything of this kind into
the soil.
If the condition Of the soil will admit,
the narrowing should be kept up close
with the plowing; but this cannot al
ways be done, and the next best plan is
to harrow as soon as possible after
good rain.
What is desired for wheat Is a rea-
sonably firm seed bed underneath and
three or four inches Of pulverized soil
on the surface, and it will pay to har-
row, roll, drag or cultivate until this
condition Is secured. There are two ad-
vantages in blowing early; one is that
there is better opportunity Of prepar-
ing the soil in good condition, and the
other is that the material turned under
will have better opportunity to decay.
It pays to take all reasonable pains to
prepare the soil in good condition for
wheat, and the safest plan is to COM
mence in good season.-The Republic.

WENT LITTLE TOO FAR.-A COM
mercial travelling man landed at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, one Saturday night,
too late to get out of town for Sum
day. The next day he found that there
was actually no form Of amusement in
the whole city to assist him in Willing
away the day. He went to the proprie-
tor Of the hotel to see if he could sug-
gest a way of passing the remainder OF
the day.
The landlord took pity on the stran-
ger and took him to one Of the rooms
in the house in which a number of
Scotchmen were playing a game called
map" which is a sort of modification
of seven up" They were playing for
a shilling a point, so that the game
was a pretty stiff one. The stranger
got in the game and played very eau
tiously, for he was quite sure Of the
players, or at least some of them. One
solemn faced Scot, he was especially
sure, he caught cheating a number Of
times. He began whistling a part of
some vagrant tune. The Scot who had
been cheating arose from the table and
threw down the cards.
What is the matter?" the other
players asked.
I'm gangin awa'," the Scot answer
ed. glaring at the stranger. ''1'll play
cards wi no mon that whistles on the
Sabbath"

HOW TO FEED THE SICK.

Wet a clean wash brush hud fresher
the face and hands before eating.
Have everything neat and dainty
about the tray, table or stand.
A crowded tray, or dishes too full,
may cause aversion to the food.
If there is great weakness, give lit
tie at time every two or three hours.
Anything disliked should be carefully
put out of signt or changed.
1t is often best not to speak of the
food until served.
Kindly allow choice Of food where
that will please best.
Pleasant little surprises help greatly.
A CHEEKY face and voice help to make
the tray attractive.
Never hurry the sick while eating.
Never talk about disagreeable things
then.
Something from a neighbor's is often
a treat.
Neighbors, just please remember this
when you can furnish some little relish.
The remembrance and thoughtfulness
for ones weakness and need, warns
the heart and aids digestion.
If food must be given when there is
no relish for it, make it plain but nour-
ishing. Give it in such cases punctual-
ly as you would medicine.
A little hot drink or sip between
meals for the weak or aged, and the
tired also, Is tonic.
A hot drink at bedtime often rests,
refreshes and soothes both the sick and
Wen.
A little nourishment at regular hours
during the night is needed by the very
weak.
A cup of hot milk, a little thickened
milk, or hot drink Of any kind prefer
red on waking in the morning, helps to
give tone for the coming breakfast.
A pillow verse" from the Bible that
will be restful and comforting should
be selected at night. A hopeful, cheer
ing one in the morning starts the day
we'll.
These soul foods, wisely chosen and
che -ringly talked about, help both food
and medicine to do their work.

WHY NE LET co.

He was a big Irishman and his name
was Pat. He was fixing the telephone
wires and whistling to himself as he
worked. Just then milk boy came
driving down the street and Pat made
a fatal mistake. Instead of attend
ing to his own business he tried to
work and watch the reckless driv-
er at the same time. The consequence
was that he did neither. What he did
do was to lose his footing. There was
a cry of horror from the bystanders
below, echoed by lusty yell from
above.
Every breath was suspended, and
then a shout of relief went up from
the crowd. Pat had made a frantic
dive from the wire and had caught
it.
Hold on, Pat!' shouted some one
who knew him. We will get you
down somehow"
Run for a mattress!" yelled one
intellectual individual.
"Get a ladder somewhere bawied
another.
Somebody do something!" COM
manded a philanthropic looking lnol-
vidual Indignantly. "The man cant
hold on forever! I say, do somethlng
he shouted, getting very red in the race
and dancing around excitedly.
Only one man in the crowd did not
saw anything-he was climbing up the
telephone pole.
Hold on, Pat, help is coming!" they
shouted with one voice.
Then a wave Of horror swept over
the crowd. The man suspended De-
tween the earth and heaven suddenly
loosened his hold and fell backward
striking the ground with a sickenlng
thud.
HE is dead!" groaned the crowd, ana
men covered their faces from the sight.
But he wasn't. An Irishman has as
many lives as a cat. When Pat came
to and sat up dizzily, trying to realize
that he was once more on terra frma,
some one said to him:
What did you let go for, Pat? why
didn't you hold on little while
longer?"
BE jabers," replied Pat, earnestly,
"Oi was afraid the wire would break!

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

Mr.. Rawley walked in and close at mis-
heels stalked Bitters. Both seated
themselves; the one on chair, the
other on end, directly in front OF the
surrogate. Mr.. Jaeger looked at the
dog with the solemn eye of a surrogate
and shook his head as only a surrogate
can shake 1t.
Are you the witness?" inquired he
of the dogs master.
"I am. sir" replied Mr.. Rawley. L
was subpoenaed to testify"
Whats that animal doing here!'
demanded the surrogate.
Nothing" replied Mr.. Rawley. He
comes when I comes. He goes when
goes"
1.-THE animal must leave the court.
It's contempt Of court to bring him
here" said Mr.. Jaeger, angrily. "Re-
move him instantly"
Mr.. Rawley had frequently been In
attendance at the police courts, and
once or twice had slight taste of the
sessions; so that he was not much
struck with the surrogate as he 9TH
erwise might have been; and he re-
piled:
II make no opposition, sir; and
shall not raise a finger to prevent IT..
There's the animal; and any officer as
pleases may remove him. I say muffin
a'gin it. I knows what contempt Of
court is; and that amt one" And Mr..
Rawley threw himself amiably back In
his chair.
"Mr. Slagg!" said the surrogate to
the man with the frizzled wig, remove
the dog"
Mr.. Slagg laid down his pen, took of
his spectacles, went up to the dog, and
told him to get out, which Bitters re-
piled to by swapping at his fingers as
he attempted to touch him. Mr.. Raw
ley was staring abstractedly out Of the
window. The dog looked up to him for
instructions, and receiving none, sup
posed that swapping at a scrivener's
fingers was perfectly correct, and re-
sumed his pleasant expression toward
that functionary, occasionally casting
a lowering eye at the surrogate as II
celebrating whether to include him in
his demonstrations of anger.
"Slagg, have you removed the dog?'
said Mr.. Jaeger, who, the dog being
under his very nose, saw that he had
not.
mo, sir; he resists the court" re-
piled Mr.. Slagg.
Call Walker to assist you," said Mr..
Jaeger.
Walker, a thin man in drabs, had
anticipated something Of the kind, and
accidentally withdrew as soon as ne
saw that there was prospect of dif-
ficulty; so that the whole court was
set at defiance by the dog.
Witness" said Mr.. Jaeger. =
Mr.. Rawley looked the court full in
the face.
"Wil you oblige the court by remov-
ing that animal?" said Mr.. Jaeger,
mildly.
Certainly, sir" said Mr.. RaWley'
"Bitters, go home" Bitters rose stiff
fly and went out, first casting glance
at the man with the wig, for the pur-
pose of being able to identify him at
some future occasion, and was soon az
ter seen from the window walking up
the street with the most profound
gravity.-From The Attorney, by John
T. Irving.
