Paid the Bishops Fare.

Dr.. Carpenter, the bishop of Ripon,
is one of the most popular clergymen
In England. He Is a man whose nat
ural impulse must be to throw off his
coat and work In his shirt sleeves. IL
never address the queen at ALL" he told
somebody who asked him II he felt
nervous when preaching before Queen
Victoria. Il know that there will be
present the queen, the princes, the
household and the servants down to
the scullery maid. and / preach to the
scullery maid" DR.. Carpenter Is not
ashamed to ride In bus and has often
told the story Of a penny ride from
Westminster TO Charing Cross. When
the ticket collector came round, the
bishop found, to his establishment, that
he had not penny In his pocket, and
neither had his wife, who was with
him. Dr. Carpenter made up his mind
to borrow the money when he alighted
at Charing Cross. but before he reach
ed his destination a workingman with
a bag of tools thrown over his shout
der turned to him as he left the bus
and said: Don't you bother about that.
I've made that oil right" Almost be-
fore the bishop could say THANK you"
the man with the bag was gone, and
DR.. Carpenter found that he had paid
bis fare and that Of his wife TO the end
OF the journey.

Norman f. Hunter is n Cambridge

toms own green, which makes the vic
tory more significant This does not
mean. however. that Bramston is as
good player as Hilton. In series OF
matches he might win one out of five.
This was the view of those well posted
at st. Andrews during the national
tournament Bramston did not enter,
and his absence gave rise to a discus
sion of his merits as player.

An EngIIshman and n Joke

Englishmen are proverbial In remem-
bering the sense of puns and I'm forget
ting the words, so that their attempted
repetitions of them frequently require
explanations before the humor is per-
ceived. Here Is characteristic one
told by a writer in the San Francisco
Argonaut: There Is a strained feeling
between the two aspiring cities of the
south. Los Angeles and San Diego, and
the disesteem OF the former for the lat
ter found expression lately In a story
told at n public banquet. This is how
an Englishman, laying down a Los
Angeles newspaper In San Diego club
in burst of laughter. proceeded to tell
the cause of his mirth: This paper says
that at a banquet fellar told n min
strel story about one fellar saying that
he didn't like Los Angeles-her streets
were crooked; they weren't as straight
as the streets In San Diego--t7nd the
other fellar got back at him by saying
that when Los Angeles had been dead
as long as San Diego her streets would
be as straight This was followed by
3 fresh burst Of laughter from the
story teller amid the calm speculation
of his hearers. One of them, picking
up the newspaper and reading, enabled
the rest of the company to share in the
gayety. when 1t appeared that the re-
tort was that when Los Angeles has
been dead as long as San Diego she'll
be as well laid out"

Destroy the TasseIs.

When | can have only n small patch
IF sweet corn or an extra early patch,
| always pull ont all tassels as they ap-
pear, except one to the hill, says a
Kansas correspondent of Farm and
Home. The result is earlier corn and
ears well filed, grains plump and a
third more corn. as most every stalk
natures two ears, sometimes three.
Have also tried it with popcorn with
the same good results. My theory is that
the strength the tassel would have used
In maturing was absorbed by the corn,
one tassel being sufficient to fertilize
the hill

Watering Horses.

A small item, yet one that should
not be overlooked in the management
of the work teams, especially during
the summer is that of giving them wa
ter before breakfast. If the watering
arrangements are convenient, 1t will
take but few minutes more to water
them before breakfast, and they will
not only relish their food better, but 1t
will be digested better. At this time
of the year horses are always thirsty
in the early morning and il not water
ed before they eat will invariably drink
more than is good for their digestion,
as more or less of the food will be
washed into the stomach before being
digested.

Running Farm Machinery.

No man can be considered an expert
In running farm machinery unless he
attends 10 certain points in managing
the machines. First, keep every joint
and bearing well oiled. Next, see that
all parts which are liable to collect
dust are brushed clean at least every
time the team Is unhitched, and see
then that every nut and bolt is In place
and holding the parts snugly. Not only
that, but if rattle is heard when at
work investigate at once and stop it,
even If 1t is necessary to unhitch the
team to make 1t safe TO work on it.
Keep all cutting parts clean and sharp
and see that the draft is just right To
be as easy as is possible for both team
and machine. The man who does all
this will accomplish good work and not
injure team or machine.

Dry Wenther Grnsses.

Experience during recent dry sum-
mers strongly emphasizes the chief
weakness Of blue grass-its almost en-
tire failure to grow during dry wealth
err Orchard grass has been found
best of the ordinary grasses in this re-
spect, but the common red clover has
shown its superiority to any of the
smaller grasses for either hay or graz
ing in dry years. Highly priced as are
the old blue grass pastures, it seems
clearly proved that n greater quantity
of food would be produced by putting
them under a rotation, with corn and
clover the chief crops. This would in
volve more labor. but in present con-
ditions would give better prospects Of
profits, said the late Professor G.. t.
Morrow.

plenty OF unslaked lime around the

prevent the escape of unpleasant odors.
There are but few farms which have

also serve to drain the swamp or bog.
The best time for digging it is when

When Prince Bismarck was appoint
ed Prussia's representative In the diet
mt Frankfort In the early fifties, he
found that Austria's representative
was taking every means In his power
to impress on the other delegates the
leadership of his country In all German
affairs. In the sitting of the military
commission the Austrian representa-
tive would smoke while the other dele
gates humbly refrained from doing so.
Bismarck. however. coolly brought out
his cigar and asked the astonished
Austrian for light After that the
other delegates plucked up. courage
enough TO smoke also. only Wurttem-
berg and Bavaria were left out" said
Bismarck In telling the story, be
cause their representatives did not
smoke. But the honor and dignity OF
their states required II. so the next
time we met Wurttemberg produced "A
cigar-I see IL now; IL was n long, thin,
light yellow thIng-and he smoked at
least half OF II as burned Offering to
the fatherland."

The western farmers who have begun
to use shredded corn fodder are now
declaring that a ton of it is worth more
than a ton of hay for milk cows, says
American Agriculturist. We came to
the same conclusion years ago in re-
gard to corn fodder well grown, cut
when fit and fed dry or moistened with
water; it is better than hay for milk
and butter products, producing n better
article at less cost. We never tried the
shredded fodder, but can imagine there
would be less waste to it.

NEW SHORT STORIES

engineers ana when he was spending
most of his time listening to the com
plhnents of friends who knew that he

upon by former senator of the Unit
