"ThGt's my article rtd1ft there" she said.
nevertheless she did not conceal her
satisfaction at her first success. and
Edward, among whose faults was not
jealousy, was just as much pleased as
she was.
"Did you know that Miss Seton had
had any verses printed?" he asked eau
tfously.
81 knew she had sent on some verses
cle's paper in New York. Yes; she
showed me the verses last night"
Edward was silent, as Miss Seton
suddenly appeared.
'grhere, Mr.. Skeptic, are the verses

Edward took the paper and looked
sharply at the place indicated. The
PAPER was local sheet, printed in a
country town. The name of the editor
was given as Mark Seton. The verses
were printed in a corner. I'm the first

them was signed 81. Hope"

She laughed again, and Freeda Joined
In her statement.
"He sent me so cents in postage
stamps" said Miss Seton, laughing.
Edward looked incredulous.
Indeed he did, Ned. l saw his let
ter" said Freeda, coming to Ida's res
cue.
"Uncle Is queer In many ways. But
I'm sure he wouldn't print my verses
just on account Of relationship"
"Are you surer asked Edward, read
ing the verses. He began reciting
them aloud, and Miss Seton interrupted
the reading by suddenly snatching the
paper away from him.
"It makes no difference, SIR" she
said, holding the paper behind her and
still laughing at his apparent aston
ishment over the whole affair. "The

never thought you could do 1t. Why, !
know several of the fellows who have
tried to get into this paper and have
had everything rejected so far"
Freeda was delighted. Then she said
demurely:
"You owe me dollar besides"
al owe you dollar! How's that"
"Why, do you forget you promised to
print all the articles we had accepted
in The College Journal and give us a
dollar apiece for them?"
Ibid say would do thatw
"You certainly did"
"Then, of course, I'll pay 1t. But
had no idea would ever have to-"
But it was Miss Seton's turn now.
"You owe me dollar, too" she said,
while both girls laughed at the look
that came over Edwards face. 81 had

'T'd like to see them" said Edward
suspiciously. He had his doubts con-
corning Miss Seton's statement.
"Of course" she replied, still laugh
ing, as she went out of the parlor.
While she was gone Edward looked
over Freeda's article. He was surpris'
ed to note the interest that attached to
it. There were no pretensions at fine
writing, and probably that is the rea-
son the editor had accepted 1t. The
article was an account of one winters
experience, when Freeda had paid all
her personal expenses in the way of
dress and books, etc. by little expert
ment in poultry raising. The article
happened to fit in exactly with a series
that the corresponding editor had been
running on "How Country Girls Can
Probably Spend Winter" The
amount paid for the article was nomi-
nal, and Freeda frankly said that she
did not believe she could write any
thing else that would be accepted, but

A Good Yield.

Jas. M. Tosh, of near Rising Sun,
had the banner yield of toma.
toes of the growers who furnished
Chas. B. Silver with the product
for his pack at Rising Sun cannery
this year. Mr.. Tosh's yield from
four and one-tenth acres was "a
tons and 1854 lbs. about 2,O25
bushels, from which he realized
S439. Besides the ripe tomatoes
picked and delivered to the cannery
bushels of the green fruit were
plowed under with the vines, the
season preventing them maturing
in time for packing. His potato
crop also turned out well, $50
bushels being taken up from II
acres of ground. Mr.. Tosh pur-
sues farming on scientific principles
and puts plenty Of "stuff" back on
his land. Lime, barnyard manure
and commercial fertilizers literally
brought him the above re-
suits this year.

WARM FLOODED ENGL1sHMEN.
Live in Cold Rooms and Get Warm
from the Heat of Their
Bodies.

III is perhaps because the English are
much out-ofdoors that they care lit
tie about having their houses proper
~ warmed. The author of "An Amer
lean at Oxford" says that when he
first dined with the dons of his col
lege, the company assembled about a
huge coal fire.
On a rough calculation the coal it
consumed, if used IN an American
Steam-heater, would have roasted out
the entire college. AS it was, its only
effect seemed to be to draw an icy
blast across the ankles from medieval
doors and windows. The draft swept
the fire bodily up the chimney and left
us shivering.
One of the dons explained that an
open fire has two supreme advantages;
it is the most cheerful thing in life and
it inSures thorough ventilation. I
agreed with him heartily as 1 warmed
one ankle in my palm, but mentioned
that in an American winter heat is as
necessary as cheerfulness and ven
tilation.
puI IL one wears lHlCh WOOltHS,
replied the don, 'the cold and draughts
are quite endurable. When you get
too cold reading, put on your great
coat"
"Then what do you do when you go
eut-of-doors
81 take off my great coat. 1t is much
warmer there, especially if you walk
briskly."
Some days later, when I went to
dine with my tutor, my hostess apol-
ogized for the chill of the drawing
room.
SIT will presently be much warmer"
said she. 81 have always noticed
that when you have sat in a room for
awhile it gets warm from the heat of
your bodies"
She proved to be right. But when
we went into the dining-room we found
it like barn. She smiled with repeat
ed assurances. Again she proved
right; but we had hardly tempered
the frost when we hadto shift again to
the drawing-room. That, too, re-
quired to be aeclimated.
