This Is the story of an elOpement. It occurred aeons ago, so far back that historians do not pretend to make guess. and was brought to light by Amos Harrit, an Eastern scientist, in Colorado. The hero and heroine were cliff dwellers. At place where no relic hunter has ever trod this scien- tist found a cliff dwelling whose en- trance was barred by a great stone. Inside he found two skeletons in a state of excellent preservation. It was ap- parent from the relative sizes that one was once man and the other had been a woman. With faces close to the stone floor and lying with their heads toward the door the grim relics were close together, and one bony arm of the woman lay across the neck of the man. It is plain from other evidences that the young couple fed together and had been pursued. The avengers followed and the battle took place. This is shown by one crushed skull among the skeletons lying outside. Harrit believes that some bold lover stole bride, and that upon being pur- sued he took refuge in the cave with the barred door, When his friends came to his rescue it was too late. and they left him and his sweetheart to- gether. And thus is the object lesson left for another race of people ages after the romantic tragedy. Love Is immortal. You could almost prove that by archaeology. Nor things present, nor things to come, nor heights. nor depths. nor any other creature shall be able to separate" a twain bound to- gether by love. Hatred cannot long survive. The grave. at the farthest. is its goal. Love Is eternal because-love Is God

The Farmers Telephone.

nN
 A surprising thing is the development of the telephone system among the farmers here on the pralries, says a correspondent in Nebraska. An inde- pendent telephone company has been extending its lines from town to town and village to village. The result is that farmers living from five to ten miles from town are connected and within speaking communication with doctor, storskeeper bank, grain buy CT. etc. Farmers telephone into town in the morning for the price of grain, and If they like 1t they drive in with a load or two. For their telephones the farmers pay from s1 to s1.50 a month. and as time-savers they are said to be worth from ten to twenty times their cost. At the rate the telephone sys- tenn Is now being developed 1t will not be more than a 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.

Table for Handling Grapes.

I have seen large. heavy tables for this work in many grapehouses. upon which the grapes were emptied from the trays to be sorted. trimmed and packed into baskets. I do not favor this method of treating grapes. think the less they are handled the better. The packing table shown makes it pos sible to take the grapes out of the tray stem by stem as wanted by the packer and thus avoid the emptying out of the grapes. The table is so constructed that tray fits into it tipped up suffi-

Miss Kate Brown, recording secretary of the L. c. B. Association of Kansas, in letter from 605 \. Seventh St., Kansas City, Kan, says:

Catarrh of the Kidneys and bladder followed, my digestive organs gave way, in fact the cold disar- ranged my whole system.

ground for period of twenty-five years when buried so deeply as to prevent germination. and yet after this time have grown vigorously. It Is because of this 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 1t is not practical to pull out mustard, owing to the large amount present it may be advisable to make the cereal crop into hay rather than al low 1t to ripen. If some such plan as this is not adopted where fields are bad ly infested with mustard It may be nec- 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 stead

A professor in q Western university lately made list of the best-hated words in the English language by as certaining the dislkes of large num- Der of correspondents. It seems that the most unpopular word is "vlctuals." of course it is merely matter of taste. That is to say, victuals do not taste so good as food. Hawthorne may have felt the antipathy to the word when he wrote that no sort of "yictuals" seemed To come amiss 10 his pig On the other hand. Tennyson sings of a far-halred youth who in his hand bare yictual for the mowers" Per haps the singular is less obnoxious than the plural, just as the verb, to victual, seems to be in better repute than the noun. Meanwhile We can en- joy the thing without mentioning it's bad name.

Farm Notes.

If you do not have enough manure for large field use it on a small plot, and endeavor to make as much as pos sible by concentrating the manure and work to a limited area. Manure may be wasted by attempting to make 1t do service on a larger space than it will profitably cover, as we'll as entailing more labor than the crop can compen- sate for.
 Sheep are one of the best kinds of stocks to keep in orchards. After a little practice they will pick up fallen fruit quicker than hogs; and this Is often very important. as the codling moth worm generally leaves the apple soon after 1t drops. But, with either sheep or hogs. sufficient food must be supplied or the trees will be parked. The food thus given goes. however, where it will do the most good. In the production of the largest and best fruit.
 There Is quite a difference in the ad- vantages of budding and grating. The proper time for budding Is any period when good buds can be procured and the bark will run on the stocks. Peach es and roses are always budded. but grating is used on apples, pears and grapes. Budding is sometimes done in order to change the tops of quite young fruit trees. Dry weather is not favor able to budding. and as a rule budding is not as successful as grating.
 Bones may be dissolved by the use of unleached wood ashes, especially if they are broken or ground The pro- portions for fertilizer, used by some farmers, are one barrel of raw bone four, three barrels dry wood ashes. fifty pounds of gypsum and ten gallons of water. The materials are placed in heap upon the floor and stirred with hoe while the water Is added. The mast is kept moist, and in two or three weeks will be ready for use Five bar rels of this mixture Is considered an efficient and cheap dressing for an acre of ground

Eyaporated or Dried Potatoes.

"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 it 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. It is reported that an acre of potatoes yielded 357 bushels. which made 105 bushels of the dried product, nearly a pound to 3l3 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 Cultiyator.

In that land of shadows where men are supposed to repent the wrong deeds done in ths life some obscure corner will doubtless be reserved for those who have been worse than sin ners in that they were blunderers. There will meet the trolley man who did not notice, the boy who left the door of the elevator open. the man who rocked the boat and the individual who did not know it was loaded. Doubt less. too this will be one of the most unhappy groups among the multi tudes

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death.
 It is more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease.
 There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously deranged by a neglected cold. Diseas- es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of neglected cold.
 Hundreds of dollars are spent on doctors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi- cine and constipation medicine Is ot no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to send you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Showa Lack of Phosphatc.

When cattle chew leather. wood ot old bones 1t indicates lack of phos- pllate or lime in their food, which Is re. qured to supply bone material. 4 tea spoonful of bone meal given daily with their grain will correct the habit and supply the deficiency which induces it. If the disposition to eat bones Is indulged in when cows are in grass the deficiency then evidently exists in the soil, and the pasture will be greatly benefited by a top dressing of bone dust. Two or three hundred pounds to the acre, sown broadcast, will repay at. tending expenses in better yield and in quality of milk and butter.

Mustard in Grain Fields.

The plant referred to scarcely needs description, as 1t is so common, al though the accompanying Illustration will impress the reader with its iden- tity. The flowers are yellow and the leaves soft, somewhat resembling those of rape. cabbage. turnips, etc; In fact mustard belongs to the same family of plants as those named. It Is one of the most serious of all the weed pests. This Is due to the fact that 1t ripens its seed before most of the cereals, so that the ground Is again seeded down for an other year. But this Is not all. The seeds are so oily in their nature that they have been known to remain In the

Sowing Clover in Corn.

The farmer who sows clover and finds in the spring that 1t was winter killed considers that he has lost time, labor and the value of the seed. This is not so, for the growth the clover makes dur ing the late summer and fall has added enough fertility to the soil to materially assist in paying for the time and labor involved. AS matter of fact, there ought not to be much labor spent in seeding the clover beyond the work of putting in the seed, particularly if the work Is done at the last cultivation of the corn. Under almost any weather conditions, except severe and prolonged drouth, 1t may be considered wise to make a seeding of clover, crimson or red, at the last cultivation of the corn. If It goes through the winter, one adds so greatly to the fertility of the soil that they can afford to take some chances.
