Mr.. Shortridge in closing his argu-
ment to the jury in the original case,

of the son of God. We have proven that
she separated mother and child; we
have proven that she tried to separate
husband and wife. and we have proven
that she had herself up as equal to d.
vinity. These are the essential things.
She seeks damages; what has she suf-
fered? If she wanted vindication, she
could have had 1t in a criminal action,

SOFT CORN.

The fine corn crop Of large section
of the north, during the month Of Sep
TENDER when the temperature is high
enough to mature it as rule, has this
year stood still and made no progress
whatever owing to the persistent low
temperature. AS a result that section
of the country is full to overhowing
of soft corn, the profitable disposal
of which is putting the growers to their
wits end. 1t may be said here for the
benefit of all concerned that the crib
bling of soft and immature corn always
has been and always will be a failure,
and that it should be carefully sepa-
rated from that which is ripened and
disposed of in some way. Such soft
corn makes pretty good feed for milk
cows and steers in the feed yard, and
may be fed to the pigs in moderation.
The silo would have been the best
place for it, but so very few have them.

With all our modern improvements

days-a double log house, big fire
place, hewn joists and rafters over

cured hams and bacon and dried beef,
the quality of which could put to
shame the best products of the modern
packing houses; strings of onions and
popcorn and the indispensable rife and
shotgun, the furniture, much of 1t

pet which covered the floor of the
mothers room, ladder to reach the
attic bedroom, where the boys could
zee the stars through the chinks of the

were the right kind, who would share
anything they had and come visiting
for two or three days at time, bring
ing their bedding and something good
to eat with them. There were bees to
help raise the house for the newcomer,
to husk the corn and build the log
barns, and while it was all in sense
homely, plain and rough, there was the
charm of neighborly good will which

COMPANY MEALS.

There is no sort of sense in preparing
n meal for even the most distinguished
company for the housewife putting on
the table two kinds of pie, three Of cake
and cookies, two or three sorts OF
pickles and lot more Of indigestible
stuff. The best rule in getting up what
may be termed company meal is to
treat your guests just as you would
like to be treated if at their homes.
You see, when you prepare SO much
stuff your guests have either got to pile
their plates with what they cannot and
will not eat or by refusing the food
when passed to them incur the sus-
picion of thinking you are q poor cook.

sert, good coffee. bread and butter.

FROST ALWAYS HURTS CORN.

A September frost this year which
came when the corn as whole was
immature and very much behind time
in ripening dropped on some fields and
skipped others and left abundant evil
dence of the folly there is in claiming
that frost can ever under any circum-
stances be of any benefit to crop of
corn. The smitten fields soon dried up,
and, while only the leaves of the corn
were touched, the stalk remaining
green, the ears shriveled up and be-
came we'll nigh worthless, while that
not touched, though badly set back by
the cold weather, has gradually ma
tured good ears. Hereafter when any
body claims that frost is a good thing
for corn tell him he does not know
what he is talking about.

SHOULD PLANT TREES.

A friend who owns nice prairie
farm, well improved, persists in try
ing to cultivate the sides and crown of
quite bluff that borders a stream
which runs through his farm. We
hardly see why he tries to raise crops
on this hill. for in dry years they per-
ish from drought and in wet ones are
washed out by the roots. II we had
that bluff, which is about ten acres
in extent. we would set it out to trees
apple trees preferably-and if not fruit
trees, then evergreens. Planted to trees
the bare blotch ON the landscape would
soon become thing of beauty and of
far greater profit than to attempt to
