Reception At Congregational Church

One OF the ~pleasantest surprises
ever planned and fully carried out
was given at the Congregational
church on Friday evening June IA,
1901. The members and friends OF
that denomination felt that a public
reception to their pastor and family
would not only encourage him and
his excellent family in their work,
but might be of value to the entire
community, and in view of this
printed cards were sent out on FIJI
day morning to one hundred and
t~hlrty-hve families, regardless OF
faith or creed, inviting them to a
public reception at the church from
eight to ten o'clock, on that evening.
The pastor had been invited out to
tea at the home of MIR. and Mrs. w.
Z. Sturgeon, so that the surprise
might be complete. AT eight o'clock
the guests began to arrive and by
nine o'clock the church was filled
to overlooking. A reception COM
mlttee met everyone at the door and
they were given a hearty welcome.
Shortly before nine O'clock Mr.. J.. b.
C~onnrardy was sent to the Sturgeon
home for the pastor and family,
and informed Mr.. Hartsough that
he was wanted at the church, and
not until he steppedinto the church
door did he understand or know
anything about the plan of the sur
prise. Mr.. h. L. Wissler introduced
MIR. and Mrs. Hartsough to the audi
ence, after which they shook hands
and were made acquainted with
more than one hundred and fifty
persons. a short program had been
planned. Elder Whitaker spoke of
the social Element In Christian
Life" and the good things he said
will never be forgotten by those
present. He recited a poem which
fully illustrated the progress the
world is making. Mr.. Chester w.
Marlin made a fine talk, taking an
optimistic view of the work of the
churches. Floy Wissler recited a
poem and Rev. w. w. Hartsough
closed with a talk about what the
church ought to do, and what we
hope to do. The committee had ar
ranged with baker I. II. Ericsson
to serve all with cake and cream,
and Immediately after the program
the service of cake and cream began.
Mr.. Hartsough gave a number of
pieces on the gramophone, to the
delight of all. The guests fingered
in the church untilafter ten o'clock
and all agreed that the occasion
had been n of real pleasure and
profit and had done much to spraed
the true spirit of christian sociabil-
ity. *

An incident of the Presidents
passage through Carroll, which oc-
Cured only a few days ago, shows
how close this great statesman
keeps to the people. Ethan Akin, a
farmer east of town, was standing
on his farm about sixty rods from
the track as the train went by and
barred his head in difference to the
honored presence. Instantly the
President rushed to the rear OF his
car and waved his hand in acknowl-
edgement. There was no crowd to
witness the sight, but the head of
the greatest government on earth
would not pass this lone farmer on
the prairie without reciprocatinp a
a mark of respect. William Mckin-
ley is close to the people because he
remains one of them.-Carroll Her

Ladies' Cemetery Association.

We give herewith below the finan-
cial reportshowing total collections
and disbursements of the Ladies'
Cemetery Association for the past
year. The report is a creditable
one and possible many will be sur
prised to learn that the organiza-
ton has had the resources they
has enjoyed. The reports of the
Secretary and Treasurer have been
examined by the Auditing commit
tee and find that they balance and
that they have receipts and vouch-
ers showing where every dollar
came from to whom and for what
purpose it was paid out. The con-
dition of the cemetery grounds
speak for the work that has been
done and shows that careful and
%judicieus work has been done. The
grounds were in such excellentcon-
person present had a good word to
complished. While good work has
been done in the past year and hop
es are entertained for good work
during the coming year, yet the
officers find themselves unable to
accomplish all the work the public
demands, owing to lack of funds.
We feel that every member and
friend OF the Association should
keep all dues paid up and that they
should occasionally make liberal
donations to be used in this laud-
able and commendable enterprise.
We feel that the various organiza-
tions of the town and every bust
ness man and farmer in the sur
rounding country could contribute
liberaly so that filling improve
ments could be made to beautify the
sacred ground where we lay our
loved and precious ones to rest.
Let us as citizens and members of
the association work hand in hand
united, giving words of encourage
ment to those who are carrying the
burden of the work, and ourdollars
to support their financial needs.

The Weed Cues tlon.

Weeds are never of much concern to
the energetic farmer. He takes them
as a matter Of course. He knows they
cannot stand the cultivation that his
hoed crops require, and are rendered
impotent by well-managed rotation.
Men are constantly trying to find some
easy way of getting rid of weeds.
About every chemical that can be pur-
chased will kill weeds, but the cost of
the chemicals and the labor of apply
ing make the problem a big one. In
some cases We have known salt boun-
tifully sown along the roadways to XIII
weeds. The work was apparently &C.
complished, but proved to give only a
temporary advantage. The rains di-
luted the salt and the land again be-
came open to the reception of weed
seeds.
In England and in France expert
ments have been carried forward to as
certain the effect Of spraying weeds
with certain chemicals, notably sui
phate of iron solutions. The results
have been what might have been ex-
pected-partial success and partial
failure. If we could find some mex
pensive method by which to annihilate
all weeds it would not be to the ad-
vantage of the farmer. The weed is
the thing that tends to make immense
farms Improbable and tends to en-
courage what we call small farming
The many small farms are Of more
benefit to the nation than are the few
large ones. Abolish weeds and II
would be easy for the great combina.
lions of capital to get control of all
the farm lands. The army Of weeds is
bulwark against such an invasion
Intensive farming destroys weeds.

LOVE OF JEWELS.
In All Ages Women Have Been Dazzled
by Rich Gems.
ITO be continued.)

| In All Ages Women Have Been Dazzled
by Rich Gems.
In all countries and in all agess wom-
en- seem to- have inherited a love for
precious stones, and it is no wonder
that these gems are popularity sup
posed to exercise some subtle magnet
ism that influences their natures.
This inherent passion may account in
measure for the recent craze for some
mascotic jewel, a survival Of medieval
superstition. Upon impressionable peo-
pie certain gems appear to WELD a po-
tent influence. Who has not listened
to weird tales of some heirloom tails
man, which, when lost or stolen, pre-
saged the ruin of a noble house? A
person with vivid Imagination might
even believe in the theory of the Pytha-
goreans, who formulated the doctrine
that inanimate things are endowed
with souls. Certain evolutionists OF
today trace the origin of man back to
stones, asserting that in their adaman-
tine bosoms they contain the all-per-
vading essence of spirit, and that the
spark emitted from their crystalline
hearts is the revelation of the i'm
prisoned soul within. From time i'm
memorial jewels have served as pro-
pitiatory offerings at holy shrines, as
token of amity from one crowned head
to another, as mystic messengers OF
affection between distant friends, as
pledges of constancy exchanged be-
tween plighted lovers. Men have bled
and died, kingdoms have crumbled.
families have been rent asunder, hus-
band and wife parted over the disputed
possession of some coveted Jewel. Per-
haps poor Marie Antoinettei OF ILL
starred memory, might have kept her
pretty head upon her shoulders had It
not been for the unfortunate affair OF
the diamond necklace. Women in all
ages have succumbed to the temptation
Of gems. Faust bartered his soul for
the love Of q womaR: Marguerite sold
hers for a gem-starrsd baubls.-Chica-
go Chronicle.

In growing condition throughout the
winter, providing the necessary shelter
and an abundance OF wholesome feed,
consisting of oats, bran, little corn
and good hay. Do not neglect the colt
at any stage Of its growth, for upon
good care and development do profit
able animals depend.
In handling sires the main point Is
to keep them in thrifty condition and
at no time allow them to get overfed.
AS soon as spring comes begin to take
away the grain and gradually put them
on green feed. Plant piece OF cane
early in spring. This is ready for use
about July /. From that time until
frost comes the stations are given
liberal supply of this feed and but lit
tie grain, sometimes none at all.
When the green stuff is killed, feed al
falfa, hay, straw and anything that
the animals will eat. but do not use
very much grain. This keeps them In
good flesh and very thrifty. About
Feb. l begin feeding grain, gradually
increasing the ration until they are
getting all they will eat readily. This
is continued until the breeding season
is over. They seldom lose flesh under
these conditions.

The record made by the manufac-
turers OF the United States forms the
most striking feature of the history of
our foreign commerce during the Pc
piod 1S90-1900. The treasury bureau
OF statistics has just completed its an
alysis OF the record Of our foreign COM
merce during the calendar year 1900,
and a comparison of the figures thus
presented with those of 1890 and the
intervening years discloses some in
teresting facts. 1t shows a remarkable
increase in the importation OF manu-
facturers' materials and even greater
increase in the expectation OF manu-
featured goods, while In the importa-
ton OF manufactures there is a decided
decrease, showing that the manufac-
turers have not only increased their
expectations but also increased the
share which they are supplying OF the
consumed in the United
States. The importations OF foodstuffs
have also decreased while the sxporta-
tons Of fOodstuffs have materially in
creased.

The Future of Forests.

Those who have been dismally pre-
dieting that the forests of northern
Wisconsin and Michigan will soon be
gone and that the business which has
so far developed this territory will be
a thing of the past, have overlooked a
few things of interest. 1t is true that
the pine forests are rapidly vanishing
and that soon little pine timber of
value will be found standing While
the rush has beer on for pine, little
attention has been paid to the i'm
mense tracts of hardwood which cover
large share of this land, and which
have not been considered of any con-
siderable value. This being the case,
there is no immediate danger of north
ern Wisconsin being deserted with the
disappearance of the pine, even though
no new enterprises come in. Work
ing Of hardwood will take its place
and the demand will be just as great
as 1t is for pine today.-Green Bay
Gazette.

Tree-Sellers.

l.. r. Taft, Professor of Horticulture
in the Michigan Agricultural College,
says: Farmers are frequently advised
not to buy their trees from travelling
agents or dealers. While this advice
can often be followed to advantage,
there are many agents who represent
reliable nurseries and, where the hon.
esty Of the agent and the standing of
the nursery can be depended upon, it
will be found that trees can be ordered
through the agents that will be fully
as reliable as those that would be OBJ
tanned directly from the nursery, and
the extra price Of the trees would be
but little if any more than the cost of
the package and express for small
order. We would, however, particular
ly caution against any persons who
make extravagant claims for the va
rieties they have for sale. While 1t is
always desirable to secure first-class,
well-grown stock, there will be no &C.
casion to pay an extra price for trees
grown by some special or secret meth
3D. Although there is some difference
between varieties in their suscepti-
bility to attack by diseases and insects
no varieties have yet been obtained
which, under all conditions, are en-
tirely free, and no faith should be put
upon the claims of agents who agree
to furnish trees blight or curculio
proof for a price considerably higher
than is charged for other kinds.

Cultivation of Orchards.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Stenographic Report of Illinois Horti-
cultural Convention.)
f. d. Voris spoke on the cultivation
of orchards. In part he said: For the
first seven or eight years the cultiya-
tion can be done in connection with
some field crop. When the trees are
young-from three to four years OF
age-we prefer corn to any other crop,
and | might say that this Is true for
the first seven years or till the trees
begin to bear. 1t is very important to
keep the soil we'll broken UP in every
county where the soil is not very rich.
The black soil of central and northern
Illinois may not need fertilizing, but
even there some OF the potash ferti-
lizers might do a good deal of good.
II | were going to buy harrow for
use in the orchard, / would buy an
orchard cutaway harrow. We must
keep the orchard free of weeds and
grass throughout the growing season.
Sow in the fall for the winter cover
crop. You must begin to cultivate
your orchard well early in the season
and keep 1t up through the summer
and early fall. You must do this to
get the best results.
Q.-Do you use a cover crop?
Al have used rye.
Q.-Have you noticed a prolonged
season of growth resulting from Gull
tivation; that is, where the trees are
cultivated, do they grow outside Of
their season?
A.-No, sir; if the cultivation has
been kept up through the summer.
Mr.. Van Deman.-Now, the point as
to the continuous cultivation is very
important; for If there has been no cul-
tivation during the spring and sum-
mer. it will not do to begin it in the
fall, as it is very likely to bring disas-
ter to the orchard. II the orchard is to
be pastured with sheep, it should be
over-pastured, so that the sheep will
have to be fed; that will result in en-
riching the orchard.

CHAPTER TX.

Sleep was far from Janetta's eyelids
that night. She did not even attempt
to court it. She sat on hour after
hour, still wearing her evening dress
with her chin resting in her hands,
and gazed, with eyeballs that ached
and throbbed, into the fire, trying to
read the future in the dying embers.

She rose to her feet as she spoke.
for she heard a sound as of some one
moving gently about, and she went
swiftly to Clarice's room to see if she

face, with the traces Of recent tears
upon it, was pressed against the pill
lows; but, to Janet's unutterable
thankfulness, her regular breathing
and fast-shut eyes showed her to be
