HE WAS MARRIED IN HASTE.
Case Of a Canadian Immigrant Who
for Alacrity and Precision IL
Entitled to the Wreathe.

There are on record many instances
of hasty marriages, but as far as heard
from q Canadian immigrant holds the
prize. He tells the story of his court
ship himself, says the Chicago Herald.
"When arrived at the boarding house
in Newcastle, N. b." he says, II found
myself sitting next to a young woman
at supper, whom soon found was one
of the newly-arrived immigrants. 1

strong, CHEEKY lass with a laughing
face, and thought she'd do. did not

or two with her and when we came out
into the passage I squeezed her hand
and gave her kiss.
"Says she: How dare you?' Says I:
Il want to marry you, my dear Marry
me?' she says, laughing, "why don't
know you No more do you, my
DEAR says I, so that makes it all fair
and even.' She didn't know how to put
a stopper on that, so she only laughed
and said she would think of it. Not
think of it, says !, artful like, mot
when you've come all those thousands
of miles for the purpose?'
"'What do you mean?' says she,

man emigrates it's to get work; when
a woman emigrates it's to get married.

The scientists, for the nourishment
of plant life, have tried to get nitro
gen in a form easily assimilable as
plant food from the atmosphere at q
very cheap rate, and employ it for
making the soil more fertile. Now, it
is reported from Paris that Prof. LIE
Bon, the well-known scientist, has
made discovery, which is expected to
revolutionize the chemical science of
the world. By new method of resolv-
ing water into it's component parts, he
claims to be able to procure indefinite
quantities of hydrogen and oxygen at
an insignificant expense, while tho
very process itself creates an energy,
which can be substituted for oxidation

Sure Source of Revenue,

The poultry industry is fast becom-
ing a most important one in this coun-
trv, and it's future development will
depend largely upon the attitude of the
average farmer towards it. If he had
taken hold of the matter as he should,
and as he has ample opportunity for
doing, there is no question that our
dressed poultry and egg trade can be
made one of the chief sources of rev.
,nue to the farmer.-Cotton Planters

cood Horses for Farmers.

Why nine-tenths Of our American
farmers do not take more pride and
interest in nice teams and horses is
a mystery to me, says well-known
writer. We have plenty of good feed
and plenty of good stations and all
that is lacking is an eye for beauty
and q hand to mold it. I do not like
mixed breeding. If man wants to
raise a horse or team of horses let him
first select a good sound brood mare
of the type he wants to breed. Let
her be sound and suitable or she is
not fit to breed from. Then a sire
should be selected. 1t should be one
of the same type as the brood mare,
and if one is deficient in any point tho
other must be double in quality cor
respondingly.

TALK ABOUT HORSES.
Raising Of High-Class Stock Depends
Largely ON Climate and Geology
ical Conditions.

Those states which have rolling
lands, with large amounts of lime
stone in their soils, with short, sweet
grasses and pure water, are the ones
which have led in the production Of
high class horses. The Morgan FAM
lily was a natural product of YER
mont, and the sound feet, clean bone,
and excellent lungs were the sure
result of the natural conditions I'M
der which this family of the horse
were raised. It required good feet
to travel over the hard stony soil,
and good lungs to travel all day up
and down these steep hills. These
conditions eliminated all animals OF
too great weight, with sof6 bone, or
poor feet, and oy the law of natural
selection they became extinct in that
state through discrimination against
them in breeding and expectation.
It is the same with the American
trotter and the thoroughbred. New
York and Kentucky have been rec
ognized as the natural home OF the
trotter, and Kentucky and Tennessee
as that of the thoroughbred. Nat-
ural conditions had more to do with
this than the enterprise of breeders.
for as much enterprise can be found
among breeds in other states. We
should never select horses raised on
fiat lowlands, even if they had great
err growth and weight than those
raised under the conditions referred
to aboye. Horses raised on corn land
in the prairie states, and fed largely
on corn, may show well in the ring,
but thew will never have the stam-
ina and usefulness, either for work
or in the stud, as those on lime
stone soils, with blue grass pastures
and oats as their usual food.-Mich-
igan Farmer.

Deal of Immense Proportions
is Made in Oskaloosa Last
Night.
HALF MILLION is PAID
One of the Biggest Deals in This Sec
ton of the Country Is Finally Con-
summated-Rumored That 1t Is Iowa
Central Move.

Oskaloosa, June 3.-(Special.)-
The Hooking Coal Co. comprising two
shafts and capacity of 500 tons of
coal per day. 1900 acres of land and
the town site of Hooking was sold in
this city last night to new corpora
ton for $525,000. 1t is said to be an
Iowa Central railroad move The
stockholders in the coal company are
also interested in the Central. George
w. Sewers, of this city, is president
cashier of the Oskaloosa National
bank, is secretary and treasurer, while
Frank Lofiand, formerly superintend-
ent of the mines at Lost Creek, is the
new general manager.
1t has been known for some time
that deal for the property was on.
Rumors came from Abba that the
mine had been inspected by persons
who desired to secure control OF 1T.
The identity of the men was not
known and many guesses We're made
as to the interests which desired to
acquire the property.
Last night, however, in this city,
where the general Offices are located
lit was announced that the mine and
all of its appurtenances had passed
under the control of a company head
ed by Mr.. Sewers but those associat-
ed with him in the deal are not
known.
The old company consisted of e. H
Gibbs, w. A. Sewers, Guy Woodin
John Ramsely and Hiram M. Gibbs
all of this city. The property has al
ways been valuable one and was
considered very desirable by coal men
| in this vicinity.
The Hooking coal company owns
800 acres of land in Monroe county
near Abba. The output is 500 tons
per day which the new company ex
poets to increase to 1900 within a
short time. The population of the
tplace is about 600.

directly after he had shot the girl
down.
The fact that Hale could not be To-
