No Booze This Year,
National Guard Men Will Also be Restricted
in Drinking ''Soft' Beverages.

For the purpose of preserving the
health of the officers and men during
the division encampment of the Ma.
tonal Guard at Gettysburg, on July
I2 to 10, the indiscriminate use of
distilled or fermented liquors is pro-
hibited. Officers are also directed to
discountenance the use of non
alcoholic or "soft" drinks, and the
bringing into camp of various articles
of food and drink, on account of its
tendency to produce digestive dis
turbances, always the ailments to
which encamped troops are most sub
ject.
Colonel Shoemaker directs that
tents be thoroughly cleaned every
day and that the surgeons should in
spect the tents daily, and order the
tents of all officers and men to be
opened up in the early morning, and
the flaps turned up tor free ventia-
ton. All bed clothing must be ex-
posed to the air and sunlight for
several hours.

Corn For Fodder.
Failure Of Hay Crops Makes it Necessary For
Farmers TO Secure Other Food For
Cattle.

Many of the farmers of this section
of the state are planting corn for the
purpose of fodder. This step has been
made necessary by the almost general
failure of the timothy crop and of the
poor crop of clover hay. Little, if
any, OF the timothy of this vicinity is
worth cutting, being very short and
filled with weeds. The first crop Of
clover is also poor, being about one
fourth of the amount ordinarily Sc
cured.
The corn for fodder is being sowed
thickly and will be cut before it goes
into tassel. This makes a very desir-
able feed for the horses and cattle and
many farmers will use 1t almost entire
ly throughout the coming year. What
hay they do raise will be put on the
market and promises at present TO
bring good prices.
Many farmers are having consider
able trouble with pasture at present,
although the rains of the last week
have done much good.

face of the dream, or something very

race OF the dream, or something very
close to it.
For an instant Mr.. La Motto
struggled with wild impulse to en-
treat all the passengers to come out
af that elevator, but he was naturally
timid man, and while he hesitatcd
the conductor claclied his signal and
the car shot upward. Mr.. La Motto
shuddered and walked out of the
building. In a few moments, how
ever, the desire to return became ir-
resistible. He returned. but the
ghastly catastrophe that he antici-
pated had not occurred. The ele-
vators were running up and down
with their accustomed regularity, and
the candy, gum and cigar vender was
perfectly calm and unruied.
Nevertheless Mr.. La Motto did not
go up in the elevator. He walked up,
toling fight after fight of the weary
steps until the fourteenth floor was
reached. Then he stretched himself
out in his chair and stayed there for
the rest of the day, walking down the
staircases again at night.
And from that time forward Mr.. La
Motto walked. He dreaded to so much
as look over towards the elevators and
the clang of their gates sent cold chills
,oursing up and down his spine. The
dreadful vision of shattered wood
work, crumpled iron, tangled coils of
steel and mangled humanity was al
ways before.his eyes with vividness
that startled him and a persistence
that made him feel hopeless. Natural
" people soon noticed his disinclina-
tion to enter an elevator, and he eX-
planned il by telling them of a strange
vertigo to which he was subject and
on the first of May he moved his office
to the third floor. He found that it
was not at all hard matter to induce
altitudinous business connections to
call and see him instead of going to
see them, and If there were any eNcep-
tions he climbed and called it exer-
rise.
But who can resist or but vainly
hope to avert his fate! That which has
been, has been; that which is, is; no
less inevitably, ineXorably that which
shall be, shall be, flutter and struggle
in the hand of Destiny as we may.
About a year after the dream-it
may have been the anniversary of the
dream-as Mr.. La Motto alighted from
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-06-19

the street car amost at the door of The
Pandomic. and his foot slipping on "A
greasy cobblestone, he twisted his
ankles very badly.
Steadying himself with his UNI
brella, he hobbled into the building,
and there the pain began to catch him,
and he gritted his teeth and said
things. and finally with the reckless
ness of agony entered the elevator and
said; "Third floor!"
The olive-skinned, slant-eyed man
was in charge, of course. He grinned
as Mr.. La Motto got in, and then alb
rubtly slammed the door and moved
over his lever.
"You've passed my floor" groaned
the doomed man, clinging to the lat
tice of the cage with one hand and
wiping the perspiration from his white
forehead with the other. The elevator
man took no notice.
"Excuse me- said very sweet voice
at Mr.. La Motifs elbow "You seem to
be in pain. Perhaps I can help you
He turned and saw face that was
as sweet as the voice-not a strikingly
beautiful face, but graciously amiable
and most womanly mpassionate.
She was perhaps 25 years of age. "Top
foor!" said the elevator man.
"I'll go down again" said the young
woman. You have taken this gentle
man past his floor. What is your floor,
sir?"
"Three-three seventeen, groaned
Mr.. La Motto. "You are most kind, and
if you could help me to my Office shall
-Oh-o-oh! No, please don't go down
with me-get out here-and walk
down"
SEQ down quickly, please" said the
young woman to the elevator man, taxi
going to faint"
Down went the cage and stopped
gently and easily at the third floor and
Mr.. La Motto got ont and hobbled into
his office, assisted by the young wom-
an, who seemed to have taken complete
charge of him. Presently, after she
had deftly taken off the injured mans
shoe and had put cold water COM
press on his foot, she explained that
SHe was tralneu nurse, anu tne emu ol
1t all was that Mr.. La Motto in course
of time persuaded her to marry him.
And they lived quite happily together,
and Mr.. La Motto is altogether indif-
ferent to the dangers of elevator rid
ing now.
He is still of the opinion, however,
that the dream was something more
than a cerebral disturbance in soft
shelled crabs. 1t was, he says, a vision
frought with destiny, as indeed all
dreams that amount to anything are.
The only thing is that we cannot al
ways interpret them rightly, which is,
perhaps, just as well.

BEET SUGAR GROWTH.
Pennsylvania Ground is Capable Of Producing
Some Excellent Results.

Secretary of Agriculture Hamilton
and other officials of the state depart
ment of agriculture are pleased with
the results of the experiments in Penn
sylvania sugar beets made by Botan-
ist William Frear and w. T. Carter,
of the Pennsylvania agricultural ex-
pertinent station.
The results show the composition
of thirty.one lots OF beets grown in
Elk county during the season of 1901.
The weather was less favorable than
usual in northern Pennsylvania to the
yield of beets, but favored a high
sugar percentage. In no case did
the percentage tall below the manu-
featuring limit, the average amount
in the cleaned, decrowned beet beng
sixteen per cent.
The purity of the juice is shown by
chemical analysis to be exceptionally
high, no sample being useless from
too low purity. The average coeffi-
cient of purity is S3.S. Inequalities
of stand and small size of the beets
grown caused the yield to fall below
the limit OF profit in eleven out of
twenty-nine cases. In seven cases
yield of nineteen tons or more is re-
ported.
The average yield Of topped beets
obtained from the twenty-one crops
weighed is 1852 tons. The results,
together with those of earlier years,
DR.. Frear says, clearly indicate that
the climate and soil of Elk county,
and probably of a large portion of
northern Pennsylvania, are fitted for
sugar Eeet culture

The next morning Mr.. La Motto
started for his Office on the four
teenth floor of the Pandomic build
ing, just as he had done with the ut
most regularity for the past ten
years. He was pressed for time, hav-
ing quite a little business to trans
act in time to get away and keep an
appointment, and his mind was busy
with method of work, SC that he
hurried down the hall almost uncon-
sciously and paused at the door of
the elevator, waiting for the crowd
before him to get in. Then in flash
his dream recurred to him and he
stepped back.
''Plenty of room, sir" said the ele-
yator man.
Mr.. La Motto glanced at him
sharply and then shook his head. 1t
was a new man who spoke, and he
had large dark eyes and pale olive
skin that stretched tightly across
prominent cheek bones. 1t Was the
