James Sandusky, who Is an old and
well known traveller. and who has re-
Gently settled in Chicago, while COM
ing in from Pewee Valley on the cleo
trio line told an interesting story about
Henry Clay, the great Kentucky states
man. Mr.. Sandusky in his youth lived
in Mr.. Clay's district during the
time when Henry Clay was ut his
prime as a lawyer.
"a man was once being tried for
MURDER" said Mr.. Sandusky, land his
case looked hopeless indeed. He had
without any seeming prOyocation MUIR
dercd one of his neighbors in cold
blood. Not a lawyer in the county
would touch the case. 1t looked bad
enough to ruin the reputation of any
barrister.
1.-The man, as last extremity, APP
pealed to Mr.. Clay to take the case
for him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse. But when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the mat
ter his fighting blood was reused, and.
to the great surprise of all, he ac-
cepted.
Then came a trial. the like of which
have never seen. Clay slowly car
ried on the case, and it looked more
and more hopeless. The only ground
of defense the prisoner had was that
! the murdered man had looked at him
| with such a fierce. murderous look that
out of self-defense he had struck first.
A ripple passed through the jury at
| this evidence.
THE time came for Clay to make
| his defense. 1t was settled in the
] minds of the spectators that the man
was guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. Clay calmly proceeded, laid all
the proof before them in his mastery
way. Then. just as he was about to
| conclude. he played his last and mas
! ter card.
Gentlemen of the jury he said.
/ assuming the fiercest, blacklist look
and carrying the most undying hatred
In it that have ever seen. gentlemen.
! if man should look at you like this
| what would you do?
THAT was all lie said. but that was
| enough The jury was startled and
some even quailed on their seats. The
| Judge moved uneasily on his bench.
! After fifteen minutes the jury filed
! slowly back with Not guilty. your
honor The victory was complete.
When Clay was congratulated on

WILD MUSTARD IN BLOOM.

when buried so deeply as to prevent
termination, and yet after this time
have grown vigorously. 1t is because
o. tilis Characteristic that 1t is specially
important to prevent wild mustard
from seeding. In fields where the plants
are few in number the labor expended
by way of pulling them up by root
would be most profitable.
Where it is not practical to pull out
mustard, owing to the large amount
present, 1t may be advisable to make
the cereal crop into hay rather than al
low it to ripen. If some such plan as
this is not adopted where fields are bad
ly infested with mustard it may be nee
essary in the near future to allow the
land to lie idle and adopt the summer
fallow system in order to get rid of the
pest. This would be an instance where
an ounce of remedy would be worth
many pounds of cure.-Iowa Home

For answer the old lady put her arms
around his neck and held up her face for
him to kiss. He trembled like an aspen
leaf, aud then, bending down, gently
kissed her.
The past was healed, the abyss span
ned, and in the future they could go for

He could make no reparation for what he
had done, but it was enough for her
that he had expated that wrong in sor-
row and remorse.
They tell us woman's nature has never
been understood; that it is unfathomable,
and so it would seem.
From this calm and joyous contempla-

aroused by the entrance of Carol, in
tears.

The Farmers Teiephone,

A surprising thing is the development
of the telephone system among the
farrslts here on the prairies, says a
correspondent in Nebraska. an indie
pendent telephone company has been
extending its lines from town to town
and village to village. The result is
that farmers living from five 70 ten
miles from town are connected and
within speaking communication with
doctor, storekeeper, bank, grain buy
er, etc. Farmers telephone into town
in the morning for the price of grain,
and if they like 1t they drive in with
load or two. For their telephones the
farmers pay from 81 10 $3.50 month,
and as time-savers they are said to be
worth from ten to twenty times their
cost. At the rate the telephone sys-
TEN is now being developed it will not
be more than couple Of years till
nearly every farmer in Nebraska is on
the wire With cheap telephones, rural
free delivery and consolidation of dis
trict schools into central buildings
where there are several rooms, as
many teachers and grading pupils
modern life in the rural regions is not
what it once was. -f

"Dried potatoes" is the name of a
new product evolved by the South Car
olina Agricultural Experiment Station.
The potatoes are boiled, peeled and
evaporated in a cannery, and will re
main in perfect condition for years. The
preserved potato becomes fit for eating
after being soaked in warm water for
an hour Like many other new ideas,
this promises to be big thing. and its
development may have a great effect on
the vast potato fields of northern Maine.
1t is reported that an acre of potatoes
yielded 357 bushels, which made 105
bushels of the dried product. nearly a
pound to 31a pounds of the raw product.
Although the report we have does not
say anything about it, probably the
sweet potatoes can be subjected to the
same process.-American Cuitivator.
