he came 10 L1Uau VIII Ouly uiS S0ah
and the clothing he wore, hence he
could buy his bride only with service;
it was sharp bargain, but it has been
kept by Jacob in spirit and to the
letter.
The feast would continue for whole
week, with songs and dances and gen.
eral jollity galore. On the evening OF
the first day, the bridal maiden is close
ly yelled in face and figure, and with
much ceremony is conducted from her
home to that of her husband. Lam
terms and torches illumined the way.
Her personal attendants and other
maidens bear aloft her bridal gifts, and
with music and song and clapping OF
hands the short journey is made and
the bride is left alone 18th her maid, to
meet in darkness her future husband.
The trick was well planned and is
easily carried out. Leah knew it all,
of course. but has not her right been
invaded? and her maid, Zilpah, is also
necessarily in the scheme. Both women
must keep silent and obey Laban.
But Rachel! She, too, must obey
and be silent, though her heart break.
1t is deeply humiliating-nay, mad
dening-but she is securely held in
leash. The nj ght is filled for her with
weeping, in the midst of festivities she
cannot share And she who felt her
right to be first must now be second.
She will bide her time, but little won
der if she verify hates both Leah and
Laban.
''BEHOLD, 1T WAS LEAH
"In the morning, behold. it was
LeaL!" The deceiver has been de-
ceived. Laban's trick is success.
Jacob is properly indignant; there is
intense pathos in his word>: What is
this thou hast done unto mt? Did
not serve with thee for Rachel!
Wherefore, then, hast thou beguilcd
m,?'
Laban has an excuse which will do
though it he not wholly true; it suited
his purpose to marry off both his
daughters: at is not SO done in oul
place to give the younger before the
frst-born" But the week of fcstivity
must not he interf,red With by any
such circumstances as has happened
and Lahan coolly says: Fulfill the
week of this one, and we will give thee
the other also for the service which
thou shalt serve with me yet seven
other years."
A HARD BARGAIN.
Does Jacobs mind recur to the day
when he drove that despicable bargai,
with Esau? And to that other day
when he deceived his aged and blind
father? Perhaps he is in the grasp OF
a hard master. He cannot live with
out Rachel He will not appreciate
Leah and will only put up with her
for the sake of having Rachel.
The week closes. 1t has been a
weariness to jacob, but when CON-
pleted another round of feasting and
jollity, and tue desire of Jacobs heart
is fulfilled. Rachel is given him for
his wife, and che loved also Rachel
more than Leah, and served with Laban
yet seven other years."-&. Louis

Bumpter, ILL.,, Sept. 9th,--Mrs. ]. D
Flanagan, Of this. place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
80 very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to veal
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time, but was gradually getting worse
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. J. J. Dale's drug
store In Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
him to have his wife try Dodds Kid
ney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used hve out Of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
sound and we'll as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever OF
dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan 10 pleased
ut her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
OF Dodd's Kidney Pills, and OF Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy TO them.
The fact that Dodd'S Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan Of such a severe
case Of drorsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked Of remedy ever known in White
county.

Fall Forage.

Wherever possible catch crops
should be put in this summer for fall
use. The shortness Of the pastures and
general feed supplies may be to some
extent overcome by crops put In now. A
few good rains will start them and In
a few weeks give a supply Of forage
that will prove very valuable in any
case, and especially II the late fall pas
lures prove poor.
The crops that are now growing can
be used to advantage at this time, II 1t
be found that they will not produce a
crop Of grain. 1t is better to commence
to feed now than to let the stalks Of
corn, sorghum or Kafir corn dry up,
wiGh the idea Of using them next win
ter. Now they are succulent, and when
the pastures are dry will prove very
valuable for feed. They will relieve the
pastures Of part of their burden and
will permit the hay TO be saved for
winter feeding. When corn has begun
to dry up before forming ears 1t is
better to feed 1t at once, as that b
about the only way by which anything
can be obtained from 1t, 1t Is too poor
for drying. About Its only value is as a
succulent food.

f. j. Berry tells The Farmers Re-
view that the present outlook for
prices for horses is very good. We
have at the present time a dearth OF
salable horses and are sure to have a
continuance Of that dearth for at least
three years to come. The last full
crop of colts was In 1894. The next
year the supply was very short, and
the same was true Of the years 1896
and 1897. The colts born during those
years are just coming into the markets
now, and the supply Of young horses
is therefore short, with no chance Of
an immediate increase. The colt crop
of 1898 was an improvement over the
previous year and the 1899 crop was
still better. In 1900 the number of
colts dropped was fairly good. These
colts, however, will not begin to come
into the market till 1908, and some OF
them will not be brought In before
1906. The years 1909, 8 and will see
the horse market taking everything
fairly good 1t can get hold Of and TAX
ing It at good price, too.
Most Of the horses are now shipped
into market by professional buyers
men that go through the counties and
pick UP all the animals they can that
they think will bring an advance In
Chicago The shipments by the in
dividual farmers are thing Of the
past. This arises partly from the
scarcity OF horses and partly from the
fact that the professional horse
buyer is not good Judge Of the kind
of horses the market demands Year
by year the market is demanding more
Of q class horse and becoming more
exacting as to certain characteristics.
The above applies to the common
horses raised by the farmers. The
great well-bred, well-fitted draft horses
are 30 scarce that they are not much
Of a factor when numbers Are consld-
cred. When a horse fit for export
comes into the yards he is at once
followed to the stable by several buy
ers, each anxious to get possession of
him. Under such conditions prices
cannot help being good. The market
quickly "eats up" the heavy draf.
horse.
There is considerable hope in the
situation from the fact that the FARM
ers are everywhere waking up to the
fact that class horses are wanted and
are the money makers. They are
therefore breeding their mares to stall
lions that are the representatives of
the classes rather than to anything
that comes along, as In the past.
