always finds a way. and we managed to
meet three or four times a day. We US
ually saw each other at Irving Park,
which is near her home.
I'VE became engaged and then the
trouble started. Her uncle had her sent
to Berlin, to a private school, and 1
thought it best to follow.
Before Miss Haywood left this country

she was, but letter from her in the gen.

of Diamonds,

New York, Oct. 26.-Harris Mandel-
baum, a real estate broker. living at No.
+ 10 East Eighteenth street, learned yes
terday morning that jewel safe in his
house had been broken open. and jewelry,
watches and money to the value Of about
5000 taken. Mr. Mandelbaum offered
7 500 reward this morning for the return
Of the jewelry and the capture of the
thief. The police have discovered no
trace of the thief or plumber.
The robbery occurred some time Sunday
night or early Monday morning. Watch
es and jewelry TO the value of $500 and
$3.50 in money, Sl2O Of which was in gold,

house-safe, which is about two and one

good servant. Ida slept IN a servants
room in the basement, while the cook
slept up stairs.

the safe as usual. Early Monday morn
ing, when the cook came down stairs,
she found the jewelry boxes lying on top
of the safe. empty. The safe was locked.
The case was at once reported TO the
Detective bureau. Mr.. Mandelbaun says
that for three weeks he has had difficulty
in opening the safe. While he did not
think OF it at the time. he now imagines

Starting Early Potatoes.

The plan tested at the Rhode Island

trays so that they would be fairly
grown, or as large as they usually are

In the field, seems to be so simple and
to have so increased the yield, as well
as given an earlier crop, that we can
not refrain from mentioning It again,
In. the hope that some of our readers
will try 1t. They used trays three and
three quarter feet long and one and n
half feet wide, n convenient size for
one man TO handle, and holding about
a bushel each when they were spread
out. The sides of the trays were but
about an inch high, and the bottom
was of laths placed an inch apart
Then these were placed on rack so
as to leave eight or nine inches be.
tween them, and that placed so as to
give each tray air and sunshine above
and below, In a room only moderately
warm. Thus they had on each piece
strong vigorous sprout three or four
inches high when ready to set them
out and they found that the increase
In yield Mt the time they were ready
for digging or when first fit to sell was
twenty-seven per cent. over those kept
In cool cellar and planted in the open
ground, while when fully mature the
gain was forty per cent. with more
large potatoes.

Farm implements do not wear out
