for about year.
At the time of the shooting there
was in the house, besides the two
brothers, Mrs. Paul Leicester Ford.
Miss Elizabeth r. Hall, the novelist's
secretary, and the servants. The nov
elist was sitting at his desk in one
corner of his library on the second
floor.
Miss Hall was at her desk in anoth-
CT corner of the room. Malcolm Ford
called as he had often done. AMI went

were exchanged in tone so low that
Miss Hall could not hear what was
said. 1uddenly there was revolver
shot and Miss Hall, jumping up, dart
ed from the room. Malcolm Ford had
called her and as she turned towards
him he placed the revolver to his
heart, fired and fell, dying instantly.
When Miss Hall turned to look at Paul

rapidly losing strength. She helped
him to a sofa and summoned ply

eleven years standing; that ever since
the death Of their father they have not
been on intimate or brotherly terms.
This alleged enmity on the part of

about by the fact that the father OF

NAPOLEONIc ROMANCE.
How a Louisianan Planned TO Rescue
the Deposed Emperor.

Was an attempt ever made to spirit Ma
poIeon away from his heartrending i'm
prisonment on the island of ST. Helena?
What was there in the dim story which
comes out Of the romance of the Louisiana
domain century after it passed into the
possession of the United States that Mon
sieur Girod, a wealthy planter of New Or
leans intrigued to rescue the incarcerated
emperor?
These are the strange questions prompted
by the story told by Mrs. Carrie Jenkins
Harris. Mrs Harris says that she discovered
the basis for the belief that an expedition to
rescue Napoleon was fitted out on the coast
of Louisiana, near New Orleans, and was
only abandoned when the news Of the de.
throued mouarchs death found its way to
the vast Louisiana territory which he had
ceded to the United States nine years be-
fore.
From manuscript in the Congressional
Library Mrs Harris says she discovered in
disputable evidence that Monsieur Girod,
a rich planter at New Orleans, whose loyalty
to the deposed emperor Of the French
amounted to passionate devotion, built a
mansion on the old St. Louis street in that
city, fitted il up elegantly and kept it ready
for the occupancy Of distinguished guest.
To his most intimate friends II IS said that
he impaired the secret that a king was to
dwell there.
At the same time that NJ. Girod COM
menced this house he bought a stauch ship,
enlisted a number Of soldiers and sailors
and drilled them to scale rocky battlemeuts.
The object Of the expedition was a secret
one, but curious tales were related Of it after
the need for its mission had faded away.

and swift sailing of the frigate, which had

Father John arrived at the village of Sopino,
conducted service, and spent the night with
Father Lvov. Next day he journeyed to
Konchanskols and consecrated the new
stone church there in the presence of
fully 10000 people. After this service
a breakfast was given in the school and
many speeches we're delivered In the
midst Of the breakfast two men and two
old women were seen approaching the
schoolhouse bearing the seemingly life
less body Of a woman. For seven years
this woman had been paralytic, unable to
move arms or legs. or open her eyes
was a living corpse On their bring
ing her to him, Father John arose, stood
before her aud, asking her name, gazed
fxedly at her Then in a loud voice he
bade her open her eyes. After several at
tempts Audotaya lthe paralytic) did so.
Look me straight in the face said Father
John, and cross Yourself Slowly and
with great effort the woman succeeded in
making the sign Of the cross. DO It again,
said Father John, and again With ever
increasing faith the woman repeated the
movement Stand up said Father John
and the woman arose. Then he moved
from his place, bidding her follow Now

lately seemingly dead woman slowly ap-
preached and fell on his shoulders. Go

the industry did not spread, and
we hear but little from it of an
encouraging nature. Now that
the rice industry is permantly
located in our midst, it would
seem the acme of commercial and
industrial wisdom to utilize the
great volume of waste material
that is yearly consigned to flames
and, instead. convert it into pa
per. We refer to the rice straw
that is made here IN thousands
and thousands of tons, and for
years past which have been reck-
lessly and ignorantly DESTROYED
without any attempt to utilize its
money value. These same con-
ditions existed regarding the
cotton seed until science, enter
prise and capital came, and from
a worthless, troublesome refuse
built up the magnificent oil in
dustry with it's numerous BY
products worth many millions of
dollars. The worthless seed
that was thrown away is now the
major part of the value of the
Gotten crop. What is true of
cotton seed may be made true of
rice straw. Science, capital, and
ingenuity will convert this de-
spised, troublesome, wor thless
refuse into an article of great
commercial value, adding anoth-
er resourse for the paper manu-
features, and adding another in.

section. We commend this sub.
ject to the careful consideration
of manufac turers and capital
seeking investment, being we'll
assured that it is worthy of their
investigation" We have often
in these columns tried to draw the
attention of our agricultural
readers to the enormous waste
that is annually occasioned bv
the non.utilizat ton of the by

them. 1t is questionable if any

Green Forage for Swine.

Green Forage for Swine.
F. D. Coburn, who is most ex-
cellent authority on swine grow
ing, says that no one is in the
same position to grow and care
for hogs with profit as he who
provides pasture or some green
forage for summer, and then a
good supply of pure water. They
need this from spring to the fall
period, when they are to go on
grain for finishing. They need
it for growth and for health, and
freedom from dangers of disease
when kept on concentrated dry
foods which make them feverish
and costive. When clover pas.
ture is not'availa BILE, rape pasture
can always be made so, in six to
eight weeks after sowing the
seed, and it will remain good till
frost. So there is no excuse for
not having good, healthy swine
during the summer, autumn and
fall.
An interesting experiment
along this line is mentioned by a
writer on swine growing by a
breeder. He says:
"From a desire to satisfy him.
self as to whether a portion of
the grass or fibrous food fed in
connection with corn meal was
not more heathfui and profitable
than the meal without other ad-
mixture, he made the experiment
of which he speaxs. Taking a
litter of six pigs, five weeks old,
he divided them into two lots as
nearly equal in weight and thrift
as could be done by the eye.
This was the first of June. One
lot of three was put in a pen and
fed upon corn meal soaked in
water twelve hours, ad libitum.
The other lot was put in a pen
alongside and fed upon green
clover, cut short by a straw cut
ter, and mixed with corn meal.
At first only one quart of this
cut clover was fed each pig, with
all the meal they would eat. This
meal, being mixed with clover,
the particles were separated, and
when eaten went to the stomache
in a spongy condition, so that the
gastric juice could penetrate the
mass, as water sponge. The
juice came in contact with every
part OF the mass at once, and the
digestion was soon accomplished.
This lot of pigs, with the clover
meal, were always lively, always
ready for their feed, whilst the
other lot, with meal alone, ate
greedily for a time, then became
mincing and dainty for few days
showing a feverish state of the
system, contentlng themselves
for few meals with water, and
by fasting got over it, and went
on eating again. This was re-
peated many times during the
five months that the experiment
lasted. At the end of the time
the two lots weighed. The lot
fed on meal alone weighed $50
pounds each; the other lot 2lO
pounds each, or 40 per cent. more
for being treated as grass-eating
animals. Each lot consumed the
same amount of meal. The clo-
yer in this case was given in
small quantity, and intended
merely to furnish a divisor for
the meal. The amount never ex-
ceeded two quarts of cut clover
at meal. We have since fed
pigs this way in summer, giving
allIthe cut clover they would eat.
This will he found the best way
to feed pigs where it is incon-
venient to give them the run of
pasture. They have always been
healthy under this treatment,
which we call the normal ration

mixed. Indiana Farmer.
