XAIHEN Harriet Babcock, spinster

phaned niece, Grace Proctor, she
brought with her many prejudices
This seemed unnecessary, as Clear Wa

villages, was well supplied with that
material.
Miss Harriet disposed of Ernest
Lawrence, Grace's most ardent ad-
mirer, with the following remark about
his family: "They are the kind Of peo-
pie who leave their veranda chairs out

sponded firmly.
Miss Babcock had money and that,
Of course, made difference, but Grace
was a dutiful niece, and would have
respected the opinions Of her guardian
had there been no stocks and mort
cages behind them.
The position of paying teller in the
only bank In the town should have
been a voucher for Ernest's careful
ness, and in time Miss Babcock's feel
ing against him might have abated;
but, on an unlucky day, when his
thoughts were of Grace rather than of
currency, he cashed a check for Miss
Harriet, and gave her SIC instead of

Aunt Harriet's category of sins.

glow produced by an honest act was

FREE RECLINING OHAIR.OARS.
THE Henderson Route Always First

The travelling public will be pleased
to learn of the latest innovation In the
way of comfort in travel for its patrons
which is now being offered by that
most popular railroad, the Henderson
Route" which road has been rightly
termed the " Kentuckian's Official
Route to the West and Southwest"
It has Just been announced from the
general office of the Louisville, Hender-
son g st. Louis Railway that they now
have in service on their night trains
between Louisville and St. Louis, Free
Reclining Chair Cars, which have just
been received from the shops and are a
revelation in the Car builders art.
The cars are strictly up-to-date, first
class "palaces of travel" on wheels, and
this is only one of the many surprises
which are promised the public for the
Worlds Fair travel by the Henderson
Route
Among other advantages offered in
these highly finished cars, few OF the
most important points only are men
toned:
They are solidly vestibuled and are
furnished with sixty-four reclining
chairs, which are upholstered in beauti-
full green plush, in addition to smoking
and toilet rooms, the smoking rooms be-
ing finished throughout in leather.
They are also fitted up with triple
trucks, which feature will do away
with the jerk, jar and strin incident to
travel in the ordinary railway coach.
and insures a smooth. comfortable ride.
This should prove more than popular
feature in train service to the travelling
public, and you can only suggest that In
travelling you "get the Henderson
Route habit"

Had Ernest Lawrence been an ordi-
nary young man his love affair would
have languished, but he was resource
full and hopeful. When he fathomed
the depths of Miss Babcock's preju-
dice against him he wasted no time in
idle regret; he began to study the
lady's temperament and mentality.
This was not difficult as she always
was present when he called on Grace.

took it to the bank with him; dreamed
about it sleeping and waking.

vent the soil from washing in heavy

FIVE inches and see that all of the sod
is turned well over. 1t is best TO smooth
It down with n plank drag or roller.
Then use disc harrow to loosen and
pulverize the top soil for two and
half inches or more, to make fine

be used in absence of disc. Sow tie

Then follow with wagon and load,

the roots with sharp knife. This

nre valuable as fertilizer. But this
value, rs many know. is due very much
TO the material from which the ashes
come. Thus ashes made from hard
wood are more valuable than ashes
made from soft wood. In fact, some
ashes from soft wood have not enough
value TO make 1t work while TO bother
with them. 1t has also been found that
the value is largely governed by the
part OF the tree from which the ashes
nre made. It is declared by chemists
that the ash of young twlgs is of more
value than the ash of the trunk of
the tree. while the ash of the leaves is
still more valuable.

Feeding Chickens.

Young chickens should be fed little
and often. The great danger in feed
ing chickens up to the time they are
feathered is from overfeeding. 1t oc-
ours far more frequently than does
underfeeding. Overfeeding is more apt
to occur with brooder chickens that
have little chance TO exercise than II
does with chickens that run with the
hen. There is far less danger Of over
feeding with whole or cracked food
than there is when all ground, food
is fed, for the reason that digestion
must take place more slowly. 1t there
fore follows that as between hard and
soft food, where both are fed, the
larger the proportion Of ground food
the chickens eat the faster they will
grow; and conversely, the larger the

THE OLDEST FERRY.
The Cross Channel Service from Dover
10 Calais.

to CdIaiS.
Perhaps the eldest ferry In the
world is the cross-channel service
from Calais to Dover. 1t has been In
existence for more than 20 centuries,
and the vessels which have been en-
gagged in II include every variety of
shipping, from Caesars hlgh-peaked
galleys, propelled by banks of oars, to
the new turbine steamer, The Queen,
which has been In service since June
q last.
During the first century there Is no
doubt that a crosschannel service Of
q more or less regular character was
established as part CT the system OF
posts maintained throughout the Ro-
man empire, and was used by the Ro-
man generals commanding the Britain
to keep up communication with Gaul
and Rome. The lead thus given by
tho military authorities Of Rome was
followed by the missionaries, whose
constant journeying kept open what
may be fairly described as the progeni.
tor of the present ass'passenger and
mail service, which, by way of Dover
and Calais in 1901 pnmbered nearly
100000 persons, and $500 tons of mail
matter the latter carried In 5000
mail sacks.
The fist steamship to sail between
Dover and Calais began her voyage In
1920. She was Scotch built vessel of
100 tons and named Rob Roy. She did
not materially reduce the time Of
crossing. the time then required by
sailing ships being two and a half to
three hours. 1t was not till about 1880
that large steamers reduced the time
OF crossing to about one and one-half
hours, and 1t has taken the whole sub
sequent period to lessen the passage
by another half hour.
In The Queen the turbine engines

Selecting Seed.

The proper time in which to select

reason for requiring this portion of the
year for so doing is because there is
no hurry, and the work can be done
better. The common practice of lay
Ing the seed corn aside to remain till
spring has done great damage TO the

supposed TO be careful with his seeds
but very few farmers know the condl-
ton OF their seeds until the time when
they are required, and then they are
too much hurried TO do anything with
them. The long winter nights are
sometimes made the tedious occasions
for a general assortment Of seeds.
