But this is going too fast. It took
him that long to get up about $40O-
At this point he began to weaken That
last $50 looked mighty big TO him al
though the money had been turned
over to him by Colonel Lannan, the
widely known editor of the suburban
contemporary. He began to demand
odds. a young man accommodated him
with a wager of IS at odds of to B.
Then the jOshing got so strong that he
was fairly shanghaied into putting up
the remaining S47 on an even basis.
1t really was touching to see the way
the Democrats went after that money
They all declared it was like getting
a registered letter from home. One
man who got 800 of it was looked upon
as rather hoggish until he shared the
wager equally with a friend. There
was nothing but money offered
throughout the afternoon that Bryan
would carry Utah.
After the StOrmstarter man quit,
which was almost before he really be-
gan, people still followed him about
asking him if he wouldn't please go
back to where he got his $500 and dig
up a whole lot more Of the same kind.

Broker D. H Peery, jr., who for

at that figure. but his efforts were in
vain. He said he would give any man

The Democrats were afraid, they
said. The Democrats had given up all
hope of carrying Utah for Bryan 1t
was impossible TO get one of them to
take a bet at even money. Yes, Nc
Kinley was sure to win, now All the
Democrats who had money were afraid
to put up a cent. The names of gentle
men who, by the way, never bet a cent
on an election, were cited in support
of the masterpiece. And SO, as the
lords of the hennery began prOclaimlng
the advent of the dawn. the young men
finished their tale and hunted rest
they deemed well earned.
Yesterday morning while the young
men still slept, the story got abroad
A few citizens read il in the columns
of the suburban contemporary More
were told of it by their neighbors and
friends. From mouth to mouth 1t
sped. To some Democrats the story
seemed entirely too good to be true.
To them it seemed impossible that
any man or men allowed to wander at
large would offer to bet that Mckin-
ley would carry the state
But it tranSpiTed that the tale was
at least half true. One of the boys
really did have $500. Had he been

EXPENSE OF HAULING.
In New jersey 1t Has Been Reduced
to Min int IN by the Building
of Stone Roads.

Regarding the making of stone roads
the question is frequently asked wheth-
err the increased taxation does not
amount to more than the advantages
gained. State Commissioner Budd, of
New Jersey, reports that before the
construction of good roads the expense
of carting few pounds of produce to
market was so great that farmers,
where possible, found it much cheaper
to send by car or boat. But now they
are purchasing broad tread wagons.
which carry from 100 to 225 FIVE eighths
bushel baskets of vegetables and fruits,
while before they only carried from 50
to so baskets, and are returning with
from three to fve-ton loads of manure.
On the ferry leading to the Philadel-
phia markets this year the passage of
2,440 teams per day was counted car
rying from three to five tons on each
load. Stone roads place the farmers
almost at the door of the consumer,
saving many Intermediates, all of whom
are forced to have profit. His in
creased loads, the saving in transported
ton, the dispensing with the commis-
sion man, and the delivering of the
produce to the grocer or consumers
doors have resulted in saving to the in
dividual farmer sums ranging from ten
to twenty dollars on each load.

ing you ever heard. The Oriole family
had returned and were perched on
the limp and swaying limb. evidently
discussing what they had better do.
Presently Mr.. Oriole, accompanied by
his wife, went off. After few hours
they returned and began moving house.
So judged they had found suitabl
and safer location where they intend
ed to build another nest. They set
to work to pull their nest to pieces and
carry away the twigs and leaves and
feathers of which it was composed.
Some of those thieving sparrows no.
ticed what they were doing, and slyly
waiting till the orioles had flown off
with their bills full of Wigs and feath-
ers. they would pounce down upon the
nest and steal all they could. Mrs.
Oriole caught them at it after awhile
and then she and her husband dis
cussed the matter. Presently they
came to a satisfactory conclusion. for
after that they took turns guarding
the nest while the other would carry
off particles of it for their new home.
They are gone now, and l miss them
sadly. They were such cheerful birds.
Mr.. Oriole was much the better dresser.
He wore a costume of orange, vermil-
lion and black. Some people used to
call them the Baltimore birds. because

land in the time of Charles l.. had his

NED AND THE JUDGE.
The Story Of Dog and a Cat That
Live in Harmony and Go Ont
Fishing Every Day.

A little girl in Maine owns cat and
a dog that have formed strong
friendship for each other and furnish
constant entertainment for their small
owner by their cunning ways. The cat,
when only tiny ball of fur in APP
pearance, was presented to the little
girl, who Immediately prepared to en-
JOY herself by dressing up the kitten
in dolls clothes that promised to TIT
him to perfection. He, however, proved
to be dignified cat, and objected so
seriously to this that his owner named
him Judge, and concluded to take him
with her on her fishing expeditions,
when he could simply sit and keep her
company.
A water spaniel known as Ned also
shared the fun of these fishing ex-
cursions, and the cat and dog would
sit. one on each side of their mistress,
while she fished for the little clubs that
are to be found in the shallow portions
of the lakes. AS each fish was caught
the child would hand it over to Judge,
who ate it and anNiously watched the
''bob' on the line for another bite.
Ned did not share Judges liking for
fish, but watched the line with as much

Well, that caps the climax!'
''You forget, ma said Edith Rosa
belle, "Uncle Elisha's only two years
older than you are. I've heard you say
so lots of times" -
''Hold your tongue, you ungrateful,
undutiful daughter!" calculated Mrs.
Molyneux Martin. ''I'll never speak to
him again."
But she did. Sober second thoughts
convinced her that it was better to sub
nit to the inevitable-and she was one
of the first to call on Mr.. and Mrs. Elisha
Perkins in the elegant brown stone
house that the lawyer bought and fur
nished for his bride.
And perhaps one of the most triumph
ant moments of Amy Archda.e's life
was that IN which she extended gra-
cious and patronizing greeting to the
woman who had turned her out of doors
scarcely three months before.

eggs; D, arranged as at c. Old SCARED
punctureS are shown at E..
gust and September, it appears in each
case that the trees were grown at that
time in weeds and grass, cultivation
having been suspended for one cause
or another, and the orchard weeds al
lowed to grow unchecked. Inquiry
from the same reporters as to the
amount of injury in orchards where cul-
tivation was not thus suspended shows
in such an almost entire immunity from
the work of the pest. The inference is
too plain.to need argument. Clean cul-
ture during the late summer, to keep
the ground free from the weeds on
which the young heppers feed, will
protect the young orchard from attack.
When the trees are already badly
punctured the only thing that can be
done is to cultivate generously the COM
ing season, to keep the injured trees in
the best of thrift and so assist them
in outgrowing the injury. 1t has been
suggested by some that the injured
branches should be pruned out and
burned, thus reducing the number of
the pests the next season, but if such
a plan were to be put in practice it
would result in many cases in the re-
moval of entire trees, no part of the
small tree being exempt from attack.

at the time when observation shows
the insects to be emerging it will be
possible to destroy most of the tender
young by a spray of kerosene emul-
sion at moderate strength. So much
reliance may be placed upon clean Gull
ture, however. that this spraying is not
considered necessary, though a prac-
teal method of destruction if done at
the right time.

To the violet's lips I'd put my ear
And hush my heart that might hear
The secret of it's sweetness;
I'd search beneath the fungus shelves
For glimpse OF COLLINS, gnomes, or elves;
I'd run race with the laughing brook,
or chase it to some witch-kept nook,
Whose spell would stay it's fieetness;
I'd hide in the haunt of the knocking pro

Full length upon the moss Ia lie,
Content beneath the changing SKY

And all the world were new,
I'd just be happy, little one.

Currunt Culture Condensed.

Currants are easily grown; clay
soil that is rich and moist, not wet, is
to be preferred they give best results
in shady situations-hence are excel
lent to set in orchards. Five by four
feet is the distance most generally
used. Clean and thorough cultivation
is very necessary to produce the largest
sized fruit. They are gross feeders and
appreciate liberal dressing. A major
ity of growers use yard manure. Re
move all old canes and weak shoots.
Mulching with either coarse material
or the dust mulch is quite necessary,
during the hot season particularly.
Insects and diseases, while compare
lively easy to check, absolutely require
attention.-Prairie Farmer.

sit Stinks," Said Ruskin.

As my Bed of Ferns, a large study
from nature on Saranac lake, was the
first thing in which l had attempted
to introduce human interest in the
landscape, I was naturally inclined
to consider it my most important
work. and was dismayed when Rus
kin came to see me, and in a tone of
extreme disgust said, pointing to the
dead deer and man: ''What do you
put that stuff in for? Take it out, it
stinks!' My reverence for Ruskin's
opinions was so great that L made no
hesitation in painting out the central
motive of the picture, for which both
subject and effect of light had been
selected. Unfortunately I habitually
used copal varnish as a medium. When
Rossetti called again. he asked me,
with look of dismay. what I had
done to my picture. l explained to
him that on .Ruskin's advice I had
painted out the figures; and exclaim-
ing "You have spoiled your picture!''

A Negro View or the Creation.

The following incident was told by
missionary. one of the delegates to
the ecumenical conference, who spent
the greater part of his life among the
savages of South Africa. Travellers in
that country are always much i'm
pressed by the intense dislike which
the pure negroes evince for their mu
latto brethren. The doctrine of uni
versal charity is perhaps the hardest
of all the Christian tenets for them
to accept. particularly as applied to
the mulattoes. Talking upon this
subject with native chief, the mis-
sionary observed one day: "But why
don't you love the mulattoes; they are
men just like yourselves, and all Gods
children" mo. no." responded the
black. shaking his head energetically;

Valuable Information Taken from q

Numerous inquiries from different

these injuries was first made known.

orchardists that they should spray as
it is to convince others that they
should insure their houses against fire.
The two acts are in a way similar. The
expense may be looked upon in either
case as insurance. The man that
sprays his orchard may never see that
he has escaped disaster. He may never
appreciate the good he receives from
spraying. His enemies are SO small
that he does not see them approach
and perish with the poison that has
been placed in their way. But whether
he sees the results or does not see
them, they are there.-Farmers' Re
