went down into the lower pocket OF
the right side of his waistcoat, and he
laid IS bill on the bureau
Mrs Toggs murmured her thanks
between stifled sobs, but refrainec
from touching the sacred testimonial,
OF his dying love. For, surely, Mr.
Toggs was nearing the end of hil
earthly career, and his avowed i'm
provement was only a delusion. She
gazed upon him in helpless abandon
ment to the Inevitable.
Mr. Toggs proceeded with his toilet
and when it was completed he turned
suddenly toward the bureau and, pick
ing up the money he had shortly be
fore laid there, said in his old way:
4 think, Mrs. Toggs, you saved this
much on me in household expenses
for l have not partaken of a single
meal while l have been sick ma,

And he FASTENED to find Elizabeth

WOULDN'T STOP TO LISTEN.

Conversation Natural Result of Meet
ing Of TWO Women.
They met down on Twenty-third
street the other morning. Each had
a bundle and each looked happy. AZ
ter a few Introductory remarks, just
enough to impress each other that
they were glad they had met, this
conversation ensued:
Yes, Mollie is down with"
"Oh. you don't say SOP
She was taken with
The poor grill"
"As I was going to say, Mollie is
And she always was delicate"
Yes; but as / was going to say"
Give her my love and tell her
hope she will soon be OUT
Pardon me, my dear; but as 1 was
going to say
Who's your doctor?'
Pardon me again; but as 1 started
to say
'Oh, you did start to say some
thing; I beg your pardon"
-As / started to say, Mollie is down
with her aunt in Hackensack She
was taken with a desire to get to the
country, and went yesterday
And then both went back to the
bargain counters--New York Times.

Mr.. Toggs was peculiar: but every
one is peculiar who is assertive and
does not think in all things just as we
do.
Mr.. Toggs was not considered gen.
erous man; but then the standard for
generosity varies so that we cannot
always accept even the Judgment of
friends.
Mr.. Toggs was generous with him
self. This was unquestioningly con-
ceded. In dress he was generous to
prodigality. The appearance of his
well-developed feet of physical
manhood, from the luster of his high
top hat and Immaculate linen to the
sheen of his No. los was faultless.
1t was in his family relations that
Madam Gossip charged him most un-
sparingly. She said that he kept no
servant for his wife; that he never
+: allowed her family to visit her on
account of the added expense that
would be incurred; that while he was
clothed faultlessly, she was-but why
should we be rummaging in other
folks closets to display their family
skeletons, when the very thought
starts a commotion in dark recesses
nearer home.
Remember, Mrs. Toggs never COM
planned; not she. Had she not prom
ised at the sacred altar to love, wor-
ship-cherish, / mean-and obey? And
she did it so thoroughly that all inde-
pendence of thought and action was
lost in her devotion to her over-tower-
ing spouse.
Mr.. Toggs fell ill. He had been ex-
ceedingly generous with himself. and
had INDUCED in a late banquet at the
Ego club. He awakened early in the
morning with most pronounced at
tack of indigestion.
Mr. Toggs declared that he had
swallowed the larger part of a mill
stone, and that it lay with its crush
ing weight just below his diaphragm.
Then he felt like the Spartan youth
who concealed the stolen fox under
his toga, and he experienced the burn
ings of a thousand pitiless flames as
they ate their way into his vitals.
During the first hours torture Mr..
Toggs groaned and moaned and ex-
pressed himself in language that was
as forcible as the conditions de-
manded.
Mrs. Toggs, without any undue dis
play of alarm, gave him the full ser

A Permanent Creamery at Purdue.

- I~rHdnSnI STcdmcry at Furoue.
Beginning early in May, Purdue
University will operate the creamery
equipment of its Dairy Department on
commercial basis, securing milk
regularly from farmers in the vicin-
ity. This step was prompted by the
d1mculty experienced in securing
temporary supply of milk at such
times as it was needed for use OF the
students. The equipment includes
the latest styles of separators, COM
bined churns, vats and cream ripen-
ers- This equipment, with a supply
of milk, regularly, will make possible
the study Of many questions not here
tofore touched on by the work of the
Indiana Experiment Station. Prof.
H. e. Van Norman has secured H. N.
Slater of Fairmount, Mimi, as assist
ant in the creamery work of his de-
partment- Mr.. Slater is a creamery
butter maker OF wide experience, a
graduate of the Minnesota Dairy
School, and has served as instructor
in the Starter and Cream Ripening
Work at Minnesota. He was also an
Instructor in the Creamery Course at
Purdue this past winter. Indiana
creamery men, butter makers and
dairymen should take advantage of
the establishment of a well-equipped
dairy department at Purdue by calling
upon them for such Information and
assistance as they can render, feeling
sure it will be cheerfully given.

Planting Roses.

Best time is after danger OF frosts
is past in the spring. says Geo. J. Kel-
logg. If your roses are budded it is
necessary to incline them at an angle
OF forty-fve degrees in the direction
you wish to lay them down for win
ter; there is danger Of breaking OF
the top where budded-set them 30
this connection will be four inches be-
low the surface. Roses on their own
roots are much the best, and, too, they
VIII be easier put down for winter If
properly inclined. If budded roses
are planted. watch for the sprouts that
come below the bud; you will need to
dig down and tear them out to pre-
vent their sprouting again. II allowed
to grow, they will rob the bud or
grated bush, which will die Many a
bush has been broken on at the bud
and the root has sprouted, and the
wonder is, why does not my rose
bloom?" The fact is, you have nothing
but the wild stock, some of which
never bloom Some dealers grow all
roses on their own roots, others bud
nearly everything. In planting, be
sure to place the roots in natural posi-
ton and press the earth firmly to the
roots; water well and II the plants
are in leaf, shade from the hot sun
for a few days.

Exhibition Ducks.

From Farmers Review: / exhibit
each year at our annual local show.
but make no more effort to prepare
the birds for exhibition than that made
to have good breeding birds. If
I know of anyone showing better
birds than I have patronize him
for eggs to the extent of my
means. In that way 1 have great
ly improved my stock always
take first premium at our local shows,
but must say there is slender COM
petition However, my stock serves
well. I have free range for my duck
lfngs and generally manage to feed
them once day after they are feath-
cred. Previous to that l keep them
closer and feed literally. I do not
think ducks receive half the atten-
ton they merit, and some of these
days when have time, mean to start
a boom, with the aid of obliging edi-
tors. In the Pekin duck industry. l
would like to hear more quacks from
the duck row in the show room. AS a
matter of fact we can sell all the good
breeding ducks we raise, and eggs are
much In demand, but no one seems
particularly interested in our show
record. The size of the ducks is well
so many questions about broilers. We
do not know thing about broifers, as
all our business has been to raise and
sell the incest breeding stock we knew
how to raise. Once year we picked
out some large well-shaped ducks and
took them to our exhibition and won
blue ribbon, while most of our COM
petitors had their birds disqualified
for black spots on beaks. 1t is not
that we are such ignoramuses about
everything that anyone showing
should not know that black spots in
the beak OF a Pekin duck disqualifies,
but just gross carelessness. Even the
judges say ducks are just a market
bird. as much as to say, not worthy of
exhibiting. New I am very proud of my
big Pekins and some of these days
when the children are grown up I'll
b. able to tell you all about exhibiting
them. In the meantime I'll have to be
satisfied to show them at our local
snow only, and devote all my spare
time to raising and improving them.

go to an the big shows.-Hattie By

A A DONATIONS.

The Chicago Tribune finds that
while the donations which have been
by gift and requests to educational,
charitable and religious institutions
during 1902 fall far short of those
which were made in 1901, still they are
greatly in excess of those of any year
prior to 1901. In 1900 the total of $62,-
461 304 was thought to be a large one,
but in 1901, the record breaking year,
the immense sun of 1923, SSS, 1872 was
reached. This year the total is ST.
147,16 which is far above the aver
age, leaving out last years.
Educational institutions have had
their fair share of gifts. One hundred
and forty-four of them have received
$27, 800 ,S03 in sums ranging from 81 900
to $1,000, 900 and upwards in individual
donations. Churches and religious so
%cieties have received s4,S69, 700. This
sum does not include the regular Sun.
day offerings, which amount to a large
total in a year, nor the twenty-one
million Twentieth century offering to
the Methodist Episcopal church, which
covers a period Of three years. Char
tiles have received the large total of
sS6,519,S64, and museums and art gal
leries the comparatively small amount
of s2,SS6, 900.
Library donations have dropped
from s~15,3Ss.732 in 1901 to 1870, 800,

Another Contract Closed.

The Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing company has just closed a con-
tract for the term of one year from
Jan. 1. 1903, with f. G. Burns, of Pima
county, Arizona, for all copper ores
and concentrates shipped by him from
his mines at or near Readinton, Ariz.
We are informed that at the pres
ent time Mr.. Burns has an output of
from two to three cars per week of a
high-grade copper ore, carrying some
silver. This, with the copper ore that
the smelter company obtains from it's
own mines at Magdalena, N. NJ, will
doubtless enable them to continuously
run the copper stack in conjunction
with the lead furnace.
We understand that the shutdown
which took place Dec. "a, was due to
want of limestone caused by storms
and bad roads at Glorietta, from
whence this material is obtained, but
that the matter of hauling has now
been arranged SO that there will be
no future difficulty on this score.
The run just finished has been the
most successful n ever made by the
company. With the ores on hand and

The attention of Senator Dillingham;

Why, that would buy 200 pounds of
pure maple sugar, or a couple of year

other things that are needed to do bus

light through the suit brought by Bill
Sage to recover $50 in the shape of a
poker debt from one of the senators.

$50-he WEIGHED. Such goings on will
have to be looked into. They have
already stirred the Green Mountain
state more thar the recent question OF
no rum, some rum or free rum. The
honor of Vermont is at stake. It's al
right to play ~pinochle, but poker

MINERS HOSPITAL.

The Mckinley County Republican
says: THE people of Mckinley coun-
ty will ask the territorial legislature
for the location of the Miners hospi-
tai at Gallup. The Santa Fe company
runs three finely equipped passenger
traits daily each way through the
town, which is only a little over five
hours ride from Albuquerque. A block
of land finely located has been donated
by the Santa Fe company for the hos
pital. There is as little sickness here
atmosphere is pure, the sun shines all
the year and we have pure mountain
water. For building material We have
the finest of sandstone, good dirt for
adobes, and no better brick are made
in the territory than here. Labor can
be had for a reasonable price. This
county leads the territory in the pro
duction of coal. More miners are en-
ployed here, and of course more
miners are injured and need the ben
eft of a hospital. There is no terri
torial institution in the county. Many
of the other counties have been fav-
ored with one institution and some of
them with more. 1nis county is solid
ly republican and we will ask the con
sideration of our claims by a repub.

Socorro county is too large, causing
extra expenditure on the part of the
people. The Socorro Chieftain says:
1T is reported that a petition is be-
ing circulated in the western part of
Socorro county with the object of Sc.
curing the annexation of that part of
the county to Grant county. 1t is
hardly probable that the move will

THE PROPOSED COMBINE.

The New Mexican says: The state
of New Mexico, consisting of what is
New Mexico and Arizona at present,
would certainly be a great
wealth, great not only in extent of
territory but also in If the
name of New Mexico could be retained
for the commonwealth and Santa Fe
as the capital, if three representatives
were divided into two United States
dlstricts; the plan to admit New Mex
leo and Arizona might be acceptable to
the people. The appointment of three
representatives in congress, in ad-
dition to two United States senators is
certainly very alluring. With five votes
in the national congress and the kind
of men that would be ent to cast them
the new state would cut a wide
would receive due consideration at the
hands of the national law making body.
At any rate the proposition is n well
worth considering. 1t is reported that
President Roosevelt would be in favor
of it and the sentiment of senators and
representatives is setting strongly in
that direction. The action of the SEN
ate upon the statehood bill during the
coming week will throw much light
upon the subject. Until then the peo-
pie of New Mexico will watch and
pray.
