The value of single plant is we'll
illustrated by the Concord grape. 1t
may seem an extravagant statement
to say the original Concord vine was
worth 81, 900, 900. In one year in a
single district the value of the product
of Concord grape vineyards amount
ed to So, 900, 900. That one vine was
the foundation of an interest that rep
resents more than 500, ooo, 900.
Supposing the original Ben Davis
apple had been destroyed before it
had been propagated, what would be
reasonable sum to represent its loss
Thousands of people have made large
sums growing the Ben Davis who
would have made but little had they
not had this variety.
There are single berries that, had
they been lost, would have held back
hundreds of farmers from paying off
mortgages on their homes. Take the
Kansas raspberry, the Early Harvest
blackberry, the War6eld, Candy,
Aroma and other strawberries and es-
innate the money these plants have
put into the pockets of growers.
And then but for the art of graft
ing in its many forms there never
would have been but one Concord
grapevine and but one Ben Davis ap-
pie tree, and the same with all the
popular varieties of fruits, whether
growing on trees, shrubs, canes or
vines.
The originator Of really merito-
rious fruit is benefactor to his race.

THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.

The loud knock of the postman re-
sounded through the thin1y built
walls of Waterford Villa, and the
thud which followed, as something
heavier than a letter fell into the
box, struck knell of apprehension
in Mary Donovan's heart.
Her first instinct was to rush into
the hall, and seize the long official
looking envelope which she knew by
painful experience was lying there.
The presence of her mother and
sisters, however, acted as a deterrent,
for they were not in sympathy with
her, and if what she feared was re-
turned story proved to be only a cir
cular, her undue haste would have
Immediately caused them to put into
words what she would prefer to re-
main unexpressed.
Letters" cried Norah. "Pat-
terms 1 ordered" declared Elsie.
And they hurried out of the room.
An amicable wrestle, and then
long-drawn exclamation of disgust,
followed by an ominous pause, the
import of which Mary knew only too
we'll, and the packet was laid before
her.
She left it untouched on the table
while, with trembling hands, she con-
tinued sewing some buttons on her
gloves.
Her eyes were swimming with un-
shed tears, and the lump in her throat
grew bigger and bigger.
The cheerful conversation of her
relations, which the advent of the
postman had interrupted, was not re-
newed.
The silence was more painful than
any comments could have been, and
| perhaps Elsie, the youngest of the
girls, realized this in her easy, good
natured way, for, after humming
few bars of the latest waltz, she be-
gan to talk about the dance to which
she and Norah were going in the fol-
lowing week.
But it was fogging dead horse
the subject had already been exhaust
ed, and the returned MSS. had sug-
gest thoughts of an unpleasant nature
which were not to be diverted.
Mrs. Donovan had been left wild
ow, with three daughters and mod
est income.
The eldest and youngest of these
girls, Norah and Elsie, were fashion
ed after her own heart, both as re-
CARDS mental attainments, up-to-date
accomplishments and social tastes.
But Mary was thorn in the flesh,
the fly in the ointment, very real
disappointment.
For, whereas her sisters had i'm
bibed the minimum of instruction
from their school lessons, Mary had
thirsted too deeply from the well of
knowledge, and as they all grew older
her tastes differed from theirs in
every respect, and almost uncon-
sciously she dropped out of their lives,
and led more or less solitary ex-
istence.
Certain duties were relegated to
each one, for the household only
boasted woman servant and boy.
Mary performed her tasks faithfully,
but while her sisters danced and en-
joyed the pleasures which the late

SOME CURIOUS THINGS ABOUT CORN.

A farmer says there are some Gu
rious things about corn, and one is,
where do the red and speckled ears
come from when you do not plant
any but white cornl And another is
why don't we find an ear with an
odd number of rows on it3 You can
find a four-leaf clover, but you never

ture has in these instances to odd
numbers.

her ear under cover of their girlishly
effusive embrace.
She was mystified at the tone, but
not until she and Kitty were alone
before they dressed for dinner was
any explanation vouchsafed.
And then, with tears of mortifica-
tion, Kitty told her that Tom had
found out what she had intended to
do, and he had been simply horrid
about it.
He had said it would be behaving
shamefully to put his friend in such
an awkward position, and he had
made her promise not to say a word
about the poems or stories.
Silly trash he called them"
said Kitty. "Oh | brothers are hate
full" she added, vindictively; 'but
had to promise, or he said he would
not take me to the Fights, and / have
particular reason for going this
year." she said, blushing consciously.
1t was with feeling akin to de-
spair that Mary went down to dinner
the editor was to take her in. But
what did it matter now? What would
they say at home?
And she felt she had been lured
away under false pretenses.
X X X X
It was week later. On the NOR
row Mary Donovan would return
home, and her visit would be thing
of the past.
The world was full of spring sun
shine, and Kitty had suggested a
walk through the woods to her old
nurses cottage, where they could
have tea, and then walk home in
the moonlight.
The idea had met with instant ap-
proval, and the little party of Kitty
and Mary, Tom and his finance, her
brother and John Graham, otherwise
the editor, had sailed forth.
1t seemed to have become the Gus
tom for John Graham to escort Mary
Donovan, and on this occasion he
started with her as matter of course.
He was nearly forty; she was not
eighteen.
Kitty, whose chevalier was still a
minor, apologized for this discrepancy
of years. "It's too bad," she said.
Looked at in the light of an editor,
age doesn't matter; but as a man,
he's no fun at all for you." Mary
smiled enigmatically, but made no
rejoinder.
The al fresco tea in nurse kitchen
round the open fireplace was over.
Tom and his fancee and Kitty and
her Oxonian had vanished mysteri-
ously. John Graham and Mary Don
ovan were left alone.
Shall we go into the woods 7"
said the man.
A Apang went through Mary's heart.
HE finds me dull" she thought.
They went ont ipta the. sweet ss; !, lilac
ous1y near'by.
1t isn't only young man fancy
which lightly turns to thoughts of
love in springtime," said John Gra-
ham, wistfully.
Mary looked up questioningly, and
then, as she saw the yearning look
in the face bent toward her, her eyes
fell and her breath came quickly.
MARY, am I too old for you to
love?"
Mary did not reply in words, but
in some mysterious way negatived
the suggestion.
The thrush sang on unconcernedly,
but Kitty, who was just appearing
round the corner, retired discreetly.
81 am glad you are not one of those
girls who go in for writing, Mary"
said the "editor" some hours later.
Mary laughed inside. "I go in
for being engaged" she said mis-
chievously.

BE MET his MATCH.

Men, as rule, are more indiffer-
ent and communicative concerning
the inroads of age than women are,
but the most amiable woman can
generally find pertinent remark to
make when approached impertinently
on this sacred theme. "Old Squire
Jones doesn't speak to me now," said
a gentle faced, silver haired lady,
"and l don't blame him. He has
excellent reasons for not wanting any
conversation with me. Several
months ago was sitting in our car
riage near the city library, waiting
for Helen, when I saw the old squire
drive up near me. He always has
something unpleasant to say about
how old we are all getting and what
wrecks we all are, so I pretended not
to see him. He came nearer, how
ever, and accosted me.
Isn't that you, Mrs. Brown !?
How d'you do, Mrs. Brown?'
7"I turned around and greeted him,
How do you do, Squire Jones?'
my goodness, Mrs. Brown, the
bluff old fellow went on, how you
have broke 1 never would have
known you.'
Why, Squire Jones, said I, i
was just going to say the same thing
to you. l never did see a man age
as fast as you have. What on earth
has made you fail SO rapidly? I
never would have known you.'
"The poor old squire shrank down
in his buggy seat and wilted. He
looked half his usual size and ten
years older and drove off without
saying anything further. 1t was
wicked, really, to deal the poor man
such a blow, but if elderly gentlemen
want to receive compliments" the
silver haired lady laughingly con-
cluded, they must go about dis
tributing Them"

The distances over which birds mi

are often surprisingly great. The
bobolinks, which rear their young
on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, and
go to Cuba and Porto Rico to spend
the winter, twice traverse a distance
exceeding 1880 miles, or more than
a fifth of the circumference Of our
earth each year. The kingbird breeds
as far north as the 57th degree Of
latitude, and is found in the winter
in South America. The biennial pill
grimages of the little redstart exceed
5000 miles, and the tiny humming
bird 1000. But that beautiful little
summer yellow bird, which OCCASION
ally builds its nests under our cham
Der windows, sends some of its kin
even to the white seafoam of the
Arctic ocean, where they arrive the
last of May, only ten or fifteen days
after the sun has begun to ride con-
tinuously above the horizon, and yet
these have come all the way from
Guatemala, over a distance eff $500
miles, leaving members even of their
own species, to spend the summer
among those tropical scenes. Won

SEVERAL MEN DEAD
They We're Caught Under the Dsbris

There IS a heavy grade coming into
the yards from the west. and the air
brakes failed 10 work. The engineer
whistled for brakes. but II was too late
for tie hand brakes TO have any effect
on the heavy train. which crashed into
the long stock train standing ON a side
track. About nfleen ears we're piled on
top of the engine and almost instantly
they hurst ln'o fames.
Engineer Patnoe was thrown under

feared they will be unable TO get him
out before he Il burned 70 death.
There were at least a dozen men

way over the road. Il Is not known
how many Of them escaped. Not
more than four have been seen. but II
