gathered when full grown, but I'M
ripe, as it is then best favored. The
Broad Windsor is perhaps the best
known of the cultivated varieties, but
it is less successfully grown in the
United States than in Europe, the cli-
mate being apparently unsuited to its
best development. 1t is imported to
some extent in exchange for varieties
grown here.-Farmers' Review.

HOW GRANT LOST HIS HIRAM.
1t Was q Friends Mistake That De.
prived the General Forever
of His Real Name.

Not many Americans know that
Hiram U. Grant was the eighteenth
president of the United States. Yet it
is true, for ulysses Simpson" was
never legally the name of our greatest
general. This interesting fact is
brought out by Franklin B. Wiley, in
Ladies' Home Journal, in "Famous
People as We Do Not Know Them"
The story of how it came about was
told by member of congregations
as L. Hamer-who recommended young
Grant as candidate for West Point in

"1'vE BROKEN MY ARM"

there existed difference of opinion
between young woman and her
pony. The cayuse was circling
around at the end of bride, and
the young woman was serving as the
pivot of the circumference in q vain
attempt to persuade the animal to
let her mount.
Henley flung himself from his
horse and rendered his services gloom
lily. In five seconds he had brought
the pony to time and was offering a
hand as a mount. From the saddle
the young woman explained.
II got off to pick some of those
columbines and I found that Cal was
opposed to our renewing acquaint-
ance. I'm afraid should have had

With which Miss Forsyth, being en-
inently practical, dismissed the young
man from her mind for the present.
They met each other frequently in the
months that followed, though thei,
acquaintance continued to limp until
one morning she found him lying or
the ground in front of the school
house.

Fall In the Berry Patch.

Charles Hirschinger tells the Farm
ers' Review that the best way to cut
the surplus runners from strawberry
plants is to use plow with rolling
coulter. He goes over his strawberry
fields several times after the plants
have ceased to fruit, each time cutting
off the runners and cultivating the
ground between the rows of straw
berry plants. Keeping the plants well
cultivated in the fall helps them to
form large root systems and insures
strong plants in the spring. The fall
growth and development has very
much to do with the power to bear a
crop the following year.

HE REMEMBERED.
But When He Got Through Remem'
berins He Found Himself In
O Pretty Pickle.

Charles Augustus said Mrs. Lip
pincott to her husband at the break
fast table, II expect Mrs. Gilmore to
spend the afternoon with me, and she
will be here when you come home. l
wish you to be polite to her, and not
pretend that you never saw her be-
FORE"
"But have I ever seen her before p
asked Mr.. Lippincott, writes William
Henry Siviter, in Judge.
"Well, should think you had! Don't
you remember the lady we became so
we'll acquainted with at Atlantic City
in August? She went everywhere with
us, and I'd be ashamed, if were you,
to have forgotten her so soon."
"Oh, well, summer resort acquaint-
ances are not expected to last long, you
know" argued Mr.. Lippincott.
"Not usually, but Mrs. Gilmore and
I took quite fancy to each other, and
we shall keep up the acquaintance
every well, my DEAR" said Mr.. Lip
pincott, as he kissed his wife good-by
and rushed for the street car; ''Ill be
polite to Mrs. Gilmore when I come
home"
When Mr.. Lippincott reached home
that afternoon he heard voices in the
parlor. Mrs. Gilmore was there, sure
enough. He hung his hat and overcoat
on the stand in the hall, and then
rushed into the parlor with his right
hand extended and. his countenance
beaming with hospitable welcome.
swell, Mrs. Gilmore!" he exclaime d,
as he took the visitors hand and gave
it a hearty shake, chow do you do?
Who would have expected to see you
here to-day? The last time I saw you
was at that darby cake walk in Allan
tic City. We had lots of fun there,
didn't we? was thinking about you
only this afternoon, and wondering
if you had forgotten us, for one usual
ly forgets summer resort acquaint.
ances, don't you think? We ought to
be good friends, though, for we had
such good times together. How we
enjoyed the performance of. High Life

and I don't think ever had any better
champagne than. we got about mid.
| night at the Brixham, Avhen that de.
licious little soubrette-what's her
name?-was doing that bewildering
Dance" \
This was quite long speech for Lip
pincott, but he was so determined ia
get through with it that he did not
notice sundry signals which his wife
was making, and the surprised look
on the visitors face did not cause him
to pause until he had reached the end
of his remarks, and then she said in a
freezing tone:
81 beg your pardon, sir!"
Then Mrs. Lippincott spoke: ''You
have made mistake, Charles August
us. This is not Mrs. Gilmore; this is

Paul Kruger 5wlii,vlslt america.

London, January 8.--Mr. Kruger, 1t is
learned. will go to America In February,
accompanied by William n, Stead, and
make q speeoh-making campaign In
favor OF America stopping the war in
South Africa. (;
Mr.. Stead has just left for Paris in
company with John e. Milholland, Of
New York, who carried an invitation
from prominent New Yorkers to Mr.
Kruger to visit America. While In Paris
they will sec the leaders Of the arbitra-
ton movement in Europe, and dccide
definitely on future plans.
Mr. Stead has expressed himself as fol-
lows:
"The time has come for President
Kruger TO play his trump Gard and
declare boldly his intention to visit Presi-
dent Mckinley in order to plead with
him the cause of the independence of the
South African republics.
Kruger is looked at askance in Cor
many and Austria, because he is presi-
dent of repablio, but he thinks this
will not be regarded rs a disqualificat
for his reception by the president Of the
greatest republic in the world.
"He does not believe the American
government is indifferent to the war the
Beers are waging against the British
monarchy. II he goes to America he
will go as a president to visit a presi-
dent.
"He will arrive in New ! ork in the
middle of February. The state of his
health is not regarded as likely to
deter him from crossing the Atlantic.
BE has believed the voyage would tako
fortnight and is much pleased to hear
he could make 1t in seven dayg.
"His movements depend somewhat
upon the health of the czar, who is now
quite we'll, and had intended to return
to st. Petersburg on January 23, but the
influenza has broken out in Neva, and it
is dangerous maladay for those just
recovering from typhoid. The ozar will
probably go to Tsarskoe Selo. If Presi-
dent Kruger went to Russia, he would
have a superb reception, and at every sta
ton In Germany between the Dutch and
Russian frontiers he would receive cYa-
tions."
