single word conveyed more to his dis

Jeanne had had just sufficient time to
have received his letter, and that she
was on her way home.
But what could she be coming back
for-running such great risks of detec-

confront Blanche suddenly and cause
the girls death from the shock of the
true situation Perhaps-Goddard put
the telegram into the fire and watched
It burn. A big lump of despair was in
his throat At that moment, if. by q
death of long lingering torture, he
could have purchased Branches happi-

The progress Of the presidents
carriage was marked by q continuous
roar of applause, men cheering and
women waving their handkerchiefs
and clapping their hands. The presi-
dent was in high spirits and bowed
from right to left to, the cheering
crowds as he journeyed to the Cap
itoi and was hatless most of the time.
Senator Hanna attracted much at
tention as he set beside the president.
Following this came the carriages
containing the members of the cabinet
and the committees of the two
houses of congress. Then came Ad-
miral Dewey and General Miles and
their aides, in full uniform. "A good
deal of enthusiasm was developed as
the commanders OF the land and sea
forces passed along the avenue.
A great shout went up as the gray
uniforms of the West FONT cadets
came into sight. Right in their foot
steps came the Middies from Annapo-
lis, whose marching was superb. The
Eleventh infantry had the right of line
of the regulars, who were followed
by the Porto Rican contingent. The
crowd sent up mighty cheer as these
soldiers, the infants of the United
States army, stepped briskly along,
showing their pride and pleasure by
smiling faces.
Following the Porto Ricans came a
regiment of United States marines.
They were received with cheers by the
watching crowd. Following the ma
rines came their brothers in the naval
Observation-Disclosures with hat-topped
caps, brown leggings and baggy blue
shirts. The cavalry squadron was
next.
The second brigade, following the
regulars, consisted of the District ma
tional guard, commanded by Brigadier
General Harris, who brought up the
rear.
It was 11:40 when the president,
his cabinet. and the escort reached the
Capitol. Mr.. Mckinley was conducted
to the presidents room, off the senate
lobby, where he was busy signing
bills until IL o'clock. Immediately
thereafter he entered the senate
chamber accompanied by the members
of the cabinet.

His LAST POEM.

The last poem written by the late
Maurice Thompson appears in the
current New York Independent. 1t
has stirring lines. Following is an
extract:
Perhaps so,ce peerless southern
knight
Led on at Seven Pines,
Or stormed the heights at Gettys-
burg
And died above the lines,
" A Farragut, dashed to the mast,
A Forrest, riding free,
A Cleburne, charging set the pace
OF fiawless bravery
And after all, what matters it,
To soldiers good and true,
Whether the hero diesl in gray
Or laughed. at death in blue.
fhe man that Stonewall Jackson led,
Or Grant or Sherman taught,
Learned at the blazing cannon's
mouth
The worth of those he fought.
Fling out the tattered, grimy flags
In freedoms blazing sun;
Call forth the limping veterans
And cheer them one by one!"

ADVICE TO GUESTS.
Curious Maxims Laid Down for Table
Manners.

That our ancestors were not so well
managed as we are is evident from
the following rules, which were laid
down by Tommasin Won Zirkler, a
German poet, in regard to the conduct
of a host and his guest at dinner
party. These singular maxims were
recently unearthed, and have now
been reprinted:
Every guest should take care that
his guests have enough to eat, and
that they are not served with dishes
that they do not want, In return, the
guests should behave properly, and
should be satisfied with whatever is
placed before them.
"A guest should not eat all his
bread before the first dishes are
served, neither should he eat with
both hands nor drink nor talk when
his mouth is full.
1T is not polite to turn toward
ones neighbor and to offer him a
wine cup from which one is still drink
ing.
One should not eat greedily and
hastily. as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
food from his neighbours plate. In a
word. each person should accept what
is offered to him and ask for nothing
else.
when there is someone sitting on
the right hand it is permissible to
eat with the left hand.
while one is drinking, the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
ut is improper to place ones hand
in dish while another person is tax
ing some food from it.
One should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short, as other
wise those persons who are eating
from the same dish are likely to be-
come disguised.
"A guest should never put his ell
bows on the table, neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his
teeth with knife"

Corn Crop for New England.

The conditions for the corn crop
were very unfavorable at r-anting
time, but the results of the harvest
were extremely gratifying in the crib
bling and silage of the largest
corn crop ever harvested in
New England. 1t was fortunate for
New England farmers that they
planted so large an area to corn last
spring, says the New England Farmer,
and that the crop was so heavy, be-
cause the partial failure of the western
crop will keep the price of corn at a
high figure until another crop "a raised
Excepting grass, there is no other crop
so sure for the eastern farmer as
corn, and there is no good reason
why New England farmers should not
be independent of the west in this re-
spect, and raise all the corn they
need, and ! believe that the time is
coming when this will be done. Now
is the time to pillow for next years
crop, and a generous area with good
care should be included in the plans.
Look After Seed Potatoes.
Seed potatoes should be kept cool
but not too cool. Often they will be-
come chilled, but not frozen. They
can get so chilled that their vitality
will be impaired and yet be good to
eat A potato with the vitality in
jured, II it grows at all, will grow up
weak and always be weak plant even
If 1t grows at all They can be chilled
so hard that they will turn black in
side and yet look all right on the out
side. These are the kind that are so
chilled as to taste sweet as first and
will turn black inside later on. Such
potatoes will not sprout, let alone
growing. A potato that cuts hard and
solid and the knife going through by
jerks may be considered chilled A
potato should cut smooth and even,
like cheese, without any noise, when
sharp thin knife is used. little
care at the right time may make a
vast difference in the yield Of your po-
tato crop.
Potatoes OF the same variety show
ing strong and weak hills with fire.
quent skips means that the seed got
chilled but not so badly as to be de-
tected at cutting time. Potatoes hard
ly ever get injured by cold during the
first two-thirds OF the winter. The
