THE season for public sales is ap-

First to be considered is publicity and
attractiveness; second, the cost. A
well displayed poster catches the eye
and may bring a customer-so the pos

value is an advertisement in widely

Secretary Root recently per-
formed an unpleasant duty which
should earn for him the respect of
all right thinking Americans. A
retiring board found that an officer
was suffering from chronic alchol-
ism and recommended that he be re-
tired. The Secretary ordered him
discharged saying, "The evidence
shows that the officer was suffering
from chronic alcoholism and on at
least one recent occasion had been
drunk on duty. These are not
grounds for placing an officer on
the retired list and supporting him
in idleness for the rest of his life
at the expense of the country, but
they are grounds for dismissing,
him from the service which he has
disgraced". The Secretary is to be
commended but the country is not
to be congratulated for Congress

1T was the most delightful summer

Our popularity with the summer cDl-

end Of sorrow that we began to make
our adieus. Naturally It filed us with
a good deal OF pride to think that those
with whom we had sojourned should
wish we were not going to leave them.
But our vanity was short-liyed. There
came a shock which set us all to think
ing and wondering as to whom the
credit for our prestige was due. 1t
happened when a bright-faced, breezy
little girl of IS, who was wont to ex-
press her sentiments without reserve,
came to say good-by.
Don't tell me you are going away

tone of voice, aud we began III feel
that from her we were to get the most
genuine expression of regret OF the
colony.

down and said:

finger. He pondered a moment, then
went on:

Hendryx was not the man to make

That was a marriage in ST. Thomas

hides at half their market value.
When they entered the carriage to
drive to the train a messenger boy
slipped through the crowd and handed
her telegram. 1t contained only
the words Gray gun-horses." She let
it fall into her lap and looked out of

Permanent Pastures.

On practically all American farms
the permanent pasture is neglected.
This is more true of the west even
than of the east. 1t is rather surpris-
ing to find it true in all of our dairy
regions, where we might expect to see
the permanent pasture fully appreci
ated. Where an effort is made to keep
them up it too often stops at putting
ON little manure and some clover
and timothy seed or turning the sod
over and sowing to blue grass. Tim
othy can hardly be considered a very
good grass for pastures. unless the
pasture is to be used largely for
horses, and the clover generally dies
out in a few years. The blue grass
proves good pasturage only under
favorable conditions and with proper
handling Generally it does not prove
to be a frst-class pasture through the
whole year. 1t is desired to have a
pasture that natures it's grass at diff
ferent seasons. Our great mistake
seems to have been In sowing too few
varieties of grasses. This mistake is
accentuated when we SOW two or three
varieties of grasses that mature at the
same time. These begin to grow at
the same time and during the flush"
of the season the animals revel in
superabundance of good things. But
when the grasses have reached their
maturity they begin to decline at
once. No new varieties are coming on
to take the place of the varieties that
are in decadence. and the stock at pas
turage begin to feel the difference
The farmer then must begin feeding
or he will have to face a shrinkage in
flesh of his fat cattle and a shrinkage
of milk in his dairy cattle. The prop
er way would be to select grasses that
mature at different times and that have
their growth in different seasons and
at different times. This can be done
by sowing some very early and some
very late grasses. Among the grasses
that it will be well to sow for the early
growing we mention the fescues. or
chard grass and timothy. For those
that have late growing season we
name crested dog tail, alsike clover,
red clover and meadow foxtail. To
these may be added other valuable
grasses that have been found to be
gcod in different localities.-Farmers

ALL OF ONE FAMILY.
Deacon Unable to Resist the Demand
of the Tramp.

While the Christian Endeavorers
We're in Boston recently holding their
annual convention many incidents oc-
CURED provocative of mirth. Among
the stories told to them was one con-
cerning peripatetic of the barefooted
variety and a farmer, who was also
church deacon. The deacon was
taking lunch under his own vine and
fig tree and unto him the peripatetic
said:
Sir, I'm very hungry"
You haven't been shaved" replied
the deacon
mo, but I'm very hungry"
You're very dirty into the bar
GAIN
yes. but I'm very hungry
well, can you say the Lords
prayer?"
mo, L can't"
will you say it for a piece of
bread?"
It will"
The deacon started in with "Our
Father at the same time cutting off
slice as he enunciated the words.
The tramp repeated Our Father"
then suddenly asked:
did you say Our Father?'"
Yes, Our Father
stop a moment" continued the
dirty man. You mean your father
and my father"
Il do" answered the deacon.
"Then we are brothers." triumph
antly proceeded the unshaved.
I'VE are"
Then, for our fathers sake cut
that bread thicker and cut it quicker"

An Authors Wrath.

An interesting copy of George Mere
dith's Shaving of Shagpat'' was sold
in London recently. 1t was the CODY
which Frederic Locker-Lanpson, the
verse writer, possessed, and it bears
some doggerel lines in Mr. Lockers
autograph The book had formerly
belonged to Mr.. Wilde, whose name
is on the f1yleaf, and who had jagged
the edges in the careless cutting of
them. Thereon Mr.. Locker-Lampson
wrote in his small, neat handwriting:
Who is this Wilde-this graceIess
cuss,
Who mutilates Meredith's pages thus?
Who over his barber tales can't linger.
Who cleaves its leaves with his fat
forefinger?
Would, o Wilde. had the luck been
mine.
To stick knife in that fist of thine!"
A distinguished man who was fond
of fishing tells the following about
the decorations of his country home:
Our FISH are all carefully weighed
and those over five pounds are traced
out on a cardboard, painted, and form
handsome frieze round the sitting
room, the names of the sportsmen be-
ing appended underneath. As an en-
couragement to our guests I have had
the following inscription painted large
over the entrance porch of my house.
The result is eminently satisfactory:
/" The fisherman goeth forth in the
early morning,
Disturbing the whole household.
He returneth in the evening, when
The smell OF whisky is upon him
And the truth is not in him.

Swine DoeeereI.

A Missouri farmer, whose hog had
been killed by a train and who imag
ined himself to be something of a poet
wrote these lines to the company's
claim agent for settlement:
My razorback stro1led down your track
A week ago to-day;
Your 20 came down the line
And snuffed his light away.
You can't blame me-Ihe hog, you see.
Slipped through a cattle gate;
So kindly pen a check for ten,
The debt to hquidate.
He was rather surprised few days
later to receive the following:
Old 20 came down the line
And killed your hog, we know,
But razorbacks on railroad tracks
Quite often meet with woe.
Therefore, my friend, we cannot send
The check for which you pine.
Just plant the dead; place DER his
head:
Here lies a foolish swine"
