The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison tkan.) Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
Ia in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from n OF
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case OF
group, as a revolver is sure TO be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better. and
does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to throw up the phlegm'
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent attack. 1t never fails and Is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale

how fate had parted Roger and her for
ever.
She let a wan smile, such a ghost Of
her former bright looks, creep over her
! face when her father. in something of his
old CHEEKY way told her not to fret, that
he would tx all matters with Roger.
| All! there was time Wien this could
have been done, and all would have been
as merry as a marriage bell; but now
she had placed barrier between them
as high as the Rocky Mountains, as vast
as mighty Niagara.
What would she not have given 70 have
uhdonc the events of the past few hours?
If the heart tears could have blottcd out
the record, surely she wept enough to
have done it.
He had been so close to her. his brave
arms outstretched, and she had repulsed
him. had driven him from her with
charges that it made her cheeks burn to
even remember While she drew breath
she would never forget how he looked,
standing before her with his white face.
from which her insulting words had driy
en- every vestige of color.
She felt like one who had given the
death blow to the man who loved her best
on earth. as if she had wounded fatally
some dumb animal that still crept to her
feet in its dying agony.
Remorse preyed upon her until she
could have cried aloud in her agony, and
yet she suffered in stony silence. Wolld
he be merciless when he confronted her
with the evidence of his innocence: How
his cutting, scathing words rank in her
ears:
Some day shortly I will seek you to
show you the proofs of my innocence;
seek you to prove all that | ever claimed
to be; seek you to show that it was the
faint on my family name that | feared,
not because | had ever done aught that
could bring disgrace upon myself or the
one l loved and, having done this. will
throw your love from me like a tattercd
glove, for it was false-false"
Terrible words!
To her they were the sentence of death
declared by the judge upon the con-
demned prisoner, and she shuddered when
recalling them.
Sadly she reflected upon it. and then,
shaking her head, realized that such a
step once taken could never be recalled
All now rested with Roger. Would he
forgive3 All! had it been herself would
she not forget az when he asked it?
Then the burning blush crept into her
face again as she remembered that she
had shown anything but a forgiving ma
ture when she accused her lover of such
fearful things.
She was paying the penalty OF her
doubling, and yet hers was a trusting
nature. only the evidence had been too
powerful, even Roger himself contribut-
.ug his share to the quota.
How was she to know what he meant
when he admitted that he had done wrong
in wooing her, that there was mysteri-
GUS something that cast shadow over
his prospects? Surely he could not blame
her so much when he learned all She
would put pride aside, and plead with
him. IL he was the man whom she hai
loved he would listen and forgive.

THoMPsoN,s BED.
Very Good Reason Why Its Occupant
Did Not Sleep Well.

Very Good Reason Why Its Occupant
Did Not Sleep Well.
When the Tobique River lumbeFmen
took possession last fall of the camps
they had occupied the winter before, a
man named Thompson got one of the
lower berths; but he did not sleep well,
says friend Of his who writes for the
Maine Woods.
Ordinarily, the lower berth is as com
Portable as the upper one. The bottom
of it, eighteen inches from the ground.
is made of small poles, which are COW
cred evenly and quite thickly with FIR
boughs. and al one needs over the
boughs is a pair Of blankets. In
Thompson's bed, however there SEEM
ed to be a good many bubbles.
Just outside the camp was large
birch tree. 1t groaned when the wind
blew. SO did Thompson. He said the
root Of that tree ran under his bed,
and when the wind blew it would rise
ND and roll him over against his berth
mate. Then the berth-mate would
punch him in the ribs and deraand
more room, and there WIS unhappiness
all round.
Finally Thompson said that if the
boss did not cut down that bich he
would leave. So the tree was felled.
That night however. he found him
self rolled against the other man as
usual.
Thompson said this had gone far
enough. He was going to see what was
under that particular part of the berth.
The next morning. which was Sunday,
after the crew got up, he dug the
bOughs back and pulled up the poles.
The mystery was soon explained.
First there appeared huge black
head and a pair of paws, then a body
and then q stampede took place
among the men. A black bear weigh
ing about four hundred pounds crawled
out over the "deacon's seat" and in
less than a minute as monarch of all
he surveyed. He d. not feel friendly
to the people who had unroofed his
den and walked him up.
They lassoed the bear and tried to
keep him, but he made things so lively
in the cooks dingle that he had to be
saot. But after that Thompson slept
| better.

though generally Il swings into place
again ere long.
He was paying the penalty of his anger
toward Carol and soon he would enter
into the second stage. when he would find
himself so miserable, cut off forever from
her love, that death itself would seem
relief.
When this time came, Roger would be
rapidly nearing a state when ne would
be in fit mood not only to forgive Carol
bat TO sue for pardon himself.
He now understood the game his cousin
was playing. though Of course there were
parts of it entirely yelled from his eyes:
for instance. he did not know that Nora
Warner had escaped from the mad house
and that it had been Der yengeful hand
that had given his cousin the wound that
prevented the duel between the two Rog-
er Darrels Thor again, he was ignorant
OF the fact that Nora was not insane.
Before his cousin had her confined in
the mad house he had been enabled TO
do her several favors, without his identity
being known to her, as he thought at the
time; but when be lard that she had
gone crazy he did not doubt the truth Of
the report. although he felt sure it had
all come through the man who bore his
name, and such was his shame for the dis
honor put upon the Darrell family by this
foul act, that more than ever he felt dis
graced and wished to be alone.
This was his state Of feeling when he
came home from abroad and met Carol
Richmond for the first time.
His fine inner sense told him that he
ought not WOO her for his wife. but he
became angered at the idea of his whole
life being ruined because of this repro
bate cousin. and he had put aside all
foolish scruples.
When Carol denounced him on that
night in the avenue Of trees, ne naturally
thought she was speaking of the disgrace
that hung over him because of his cous-
ms doings when she declared that Mora
Warner stood between them"
His cousin was so excelently disguised
that he did not recognize him any more
than on the former occasion. when travel
ing in Europe, and he met him rs the
Russian count, the man with the black
glove.
What schemes the scoundrel had in
view it would be hard indeed TO tell, but
most certainly his designs upon his cousin
at that time had been frustrated through
some cause.
On the next night after the one on
which he had held that interview with
Carol. when fate had parted them never
more to meet, as it seemed, some power
full motive drew Rogers footsteps in the
direction of the old mill. He knew not
why he went, yet some magnet drew him
on.

Other Fertilizer Needed.

1t is generally admitted that there is
considerable manurial value in the
grain stubble left on the field to be
plowed under, this value consisting OF
a portion of all the essential plant
foods in varying degrees. together with
more or less lime and humids. In
some cases this value is considerable
in one plant food as in the case of the
nitrogen in the plowed-under clover.
1t is a mistake, however. to believe
that the manure in this stubble is suf-
ticient TO prevent the depletion of the
soil by cropping. and yet this is the
Idea that is strongly fixed in the minds
IF many farmers. There is no getting
away from the old natural law that the
soil must have returned TO it at least
a little more than the crop takes from
it. and this the stubble and scant appli-
cation of stable manure will not do.
The possession of the ideas Indicated
make il evident that the study of the
soil in an intelligent manner is one
of the essential things for all farmers
TO do.

His step is unsteady and slouchins and

His eyes are heavy where pride once

He has stepped aside and has quit the
race.
The hope that once led him to hurry
has flown.
They call him failure; but one sill

To the love that he gave her long ago;
He sits and she sews and She sometimes
sings
The words of brave songs that he used
to know.
Her face is fair and her eyes are bright
And still her kiss on his lips is pressed
When he shiftlessly shamblcs home at
night
With a shriyelcd heart in his sunken
breast.
They call him a failure; they do not know
That he still is majestic in her glad
sight;
Though she tolls for him and is foolish,
on.
He still is her girlhood's glorious Knight.

half value first by increasing the freight
rates, and. second, by refusing to carry
the coal for private owners at any price,
whenever such owners could NOT be
brought to terms by the establishment of
exorbitant transportation rates.
Owning the coal and owning the rail-
reads over which the coal is transported
to market, they fixed the freight rates at
an eXorbitant figure, in order to make
consumers pay dividends on the over-capr
ftalization of the railroads and coal mines.
While rates for other and like products
have fallen, anthracite coal rates have
been advanced by the railways until they
are nearly twice as great as cotton or
wheat. They limit the supply in order to
force Il strong demand and high market
price. As shown by sworn testimony up
on trials and investigation, more than
$200,0O00O0 in excess of fair market
price has been exacted from consumers.
This coal trust bears harder upon the
unfortunate, helpless labor that mines
the products at the wage level of Il gem
Grafton ago. than upon the consumer who,
in these days, must purchase hat in hand.
Its attitude of inc ference to the appeal
of press and pulpit suggests utter con-
tempt for public opinion. This is typical
of the oppression which awaits the people
of this country, unless the federal gov
eminent is empowered to strip these COM
binations of their unlawful power.

CHAPTER XXvI.

The acceptance of the Captains chal-
lenge had been written by Jack, and Nora
Warner had been utterly ignorant of the
name of the man whom the one she hated
had been about to fight.
She had only known that he was a
wealthy young Virginian whose estate ad-
joined that of Lawrence Richmond. so
that when she warned Carol against Rog-
er Darrell she had not the slightest idea
OF the great harm she was doing one who
had ever been exceedingly kind to her
as the unfortunate victim Of his cousin
When she learned Of the mischief that
had been done, she would not rest until
the wrong she had unconsciously done
had been righted. for she felt very differ
ent toward the Roger Darrell we know
than he who had been the bane and curse
of her life.
Roger, on his para, when he rushed
away from Carol, had no idea of the vast
ness of the temptation and oyerpowcrinr
evidence that had been placed in her
way. nor could he realize how circum-
stances, even his own words had united
in the effort to deceive the trusting young
girl. While not comprehending the ra-
ture of her questions. he had as much as
admitted that it was all true. and look
ing at it in the light she did, what a ter
rible thing this must have been to hear
a man condemn himself of such terrible
crimes.
The memory Of that night, when she
came to him in the avenue Of elms and
put the question to him. was as fresh with
him as though it had happened but yes
terday, and he began to realize the hor-
ror that must have entered into her soul
when, immediately after acknowledging
| that it was all true in relation to Nora
| Warner and Carol understood him at
the time to be acknowledging the fact
| that the woman in the mad house was
| his own wife, not his cousins. as he sup
posed she knew--he had pleaded with her
to be the same to him as before.

Farm and Factory.

In 1870, the census did not report a
pound of butter made In factories; in
1880, 30,0O0,00O pounds. out Of a prod
uct of so7,O00,000. was factory made;
in 1900 the factory product Of butter
was 420,126,000 pounds, out of grand
total of 1,492, 699.0o0 pounds. the fac
tory product being 2S2 per cent of the
whole. Cheese making shows a still
more remarkable transformation. In
1850 there was no cheese making in fac
tories reported. In 1870 the factories
made more than one-half our cheese;
and in 1900 the farms made but 1912
900 pounds, or less than 6 per cent of
the whole product of 300,000,00O.
Illustrations might be multiplied in
definitely to show the encroachment of
the factory upon the function of the
farm. Indeed, it is becoming most
difficult matter for the census makers
to determine where to draw the line be-
tween agriculture and manufactures in
many branches of industry. But the
farm is the twin sister of the factory;
they flourish or are depressed in per-
feet sympathy; and American suprem-
acy in manufactures is due. in very
large degree, to the abundance of our
agricultural products. OF the raw ma
terials consumed in manufactures, ag-
riculture supplied $1,940, 72T 900 in
value, or S1.2 per cent of the total; the
mines supplied 1919, 975,0O0. or 1874 per
cent in value; and the forest S11S,S03,-

from ocean, lake and river came only

Scarcity of Beef aud Mutton.

Scarcity of Beef aud Mutton.
The setting and fencing of farms in
those locations where cattle and sheep
have been allowed to Craze freely
upon government land has helped to
make an advance in the prices of our
meats. The conditions are different
from what they were twenty years
ago, yet we think this may be in part
overcome by the fattening of cattle at
an earlier age. and by better cultiya-
tor and the introduction of better
gras on the grazing lands, and bet
ter feeding and care of stock when
they are brought to the stables. In
stead of requiring FIFTY acres to each
steer they are now beginning to claim,
or the best feeders are, that three
acres of grass is enough for q steer.
We have known men in New England
who found one acre produce forage for
n cow in milk, excepting the grain food
which was purchased. When our beef
growers reach that capacity they will
find it costs no more to grow fat

range which was unlimited and with
