The Life Of n 9eeo.

Harper's Weekly: The United States de-
partment of agriculture Is making expert
ments for the purpose Of determining the
extreme vitality Of seeds. over a hun
dred species of plants have been packed
in a soil consisting OF dry clay enclosed
In pots, and buried at varying depths
underground--eight sets at a depth OF six
inches, twelve at a depth Of twenty, and
a third set of twelve at a depth OF three
and a half feet. At the end OF one, two,
three. five. seven. ten. fifteen, twenty,
twenty-five, forty and fifty years a set
from each depth will be exhumed and
tested. The results of the experiment are
likely to be Of extraordinary value to
a~griculturists, both commercially and
scientifically. incidentally, II may be re-
called that authentic cases are on record
which prove that certain seeds have the
power Of sprouting after having been
buried for long periods of time, reliable
tests having shown that twelve out OF
twenty-one species have the power of ger
minating after twenty years.

Boy Threw Diamonds at Birds.

New York Press! While Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Hunter OF 1874 Lake street,
We're away from home yesterday their
little son found his mothers jewel box
and investigated the contents. The
glitter of the gems pleased him and he
took them out in the street to play with
them. After he had amused himself
with them for awhile he began to
throw them at birds.
By and by all that remained was the
box. He threw this at a bird and went
back into the house and went to sleep.
When his mother came home she dis
covered the loss OF the jewels and at
first thought burglars had entered the
house. 1t occurred to her the boy
might be able to throw some light on
the disappearance of the gems and she
woke him. He told her what he had
done.
With her husband she hurried to the
street and began n search for the
jewels. All were found except one
ring. Believing some passerby picked
1t up. she has asked the police to aid
her in finding It. 1t is set with three
small rubies and three or -four dia-
monds. and has the inscription, ITO

CHAPTER XIV.
A DEFEAT.

Job Hendricks entered the garden
with a light step. Seeing the CLEAN
of a white skirt in the distance, he
made his way in that direction. At
the same time he was timid about APP
preaching the object Of his quest.
Grace Ellison came running toward
him, but, when she recognized q
stranger, she drew back, and then,
when she recalled that she had seen
him before, stood for a moment unde-
cided in the path.
Job had taken his hat off, and as he
approached In a humble way, he spoke
In a ~stammering voice, while his face
colored like q bashful schoolgirls
Miss, l have good news for you"
What do you mean?'

he will be free"
She stepped forward and toe his
rough hands in hers.
Are you sure-are o sure?" draw

wonderful news could be true.
mo doubt about it. miss, since tho
real criminal has confessed"
She looked at him for a moment in 81
lence, and then held out her hands to
him with a gesture that was at once
graceful and childlike.
Il believe you have something to do
with this"
mot all l should have liked" and
then Job began strange performances
with his handkerchief, while for q mo-
ment he turned away his head.
Il am certain that you have been
instrumental in bringing this about"
and he seemed to tremble as her eyes,
filled with a saft and kindly look, met
his.
II did what 1 could" clearing his
throat with an effort. and then, after
G moments silence: II shouldn't won
der but Dick mi yht arrive here at any
moment. Perhaps he is even now in
the house"
She uttered a joyous exclamation,
and then, without a word more, ran by
him in the direction OF the house.
Job stood there for a moment In the
sunny path, looking after the bright
figure, and then turned away with a
sigh.
II might have kept the good news
back for a moment, for, after all,
this may be the last time / shall see
her."
He walked slowly down the path
she had taken and then flung himself
down on a n in the shadow of the
walls, hoping that by waiting he
might see her again. AS he sat there,
with eyes half closed, a step on the
porch caused him to rise, and he
found himself face to face with Frank
Ellison. For a moment the two men
stood staring at each other, then IN
stinctively rushed forward to grapple
with each other.
But the stored-up hatred of years

THE ENID
Slavery to Habit.

From THE Worlds Progress" II.
tour-TraCk News for July: Habit
is Il relentless taskmaster and al
most every man on earth is It's slave.
We have a way of getting into ruts and
losing our individuality. We are
slaves to ambition and In reaching for
our goal we forget the world about us
and It's countless beauties. We dig and
dClvc and struggle and strive for our
one prime object, fOrgetful of the en-
vironment that lies just beyond our
everyday surroundings. In that broad
er environment is rest and JOY and new
life. In the Office n street and home
we become mechanical; we go and
come over the same routes, do the same
things and naturally think the same
thoughts day after day. We are the
slaves OF habit, We owe ourselves,
our families and our business interests
a debt which we are ignoring. Lest
we forget that recreation and relief
from the routine Of business is a good
payiRg investment as well as a pleas
ure, it would be wise to stop short, set
a date, take a rest, enjoy the broad
fields, the fresh air, and the quiet OF
the country and snap our fingers in
the face of that taskmaster who has
made us an abject drudge.

Where the falls Of Minnehaha
Clean and gurgle in the sunlight.
This young Observation-Disclosures
Was a thoroughbred from way back,
Very game was he, and nifty;
He could sit In for an evening
And corral the red and blue ones,
lie could guzzle firswater
Like a dry old dromedary
Stocking up at an oasis,
And it seemed to touch him
After scheming for a fortnight
All the braves he called around him
And explained his proposition;
Then two teams were straightway chosen
one was called the Mighty Mud Hens,
Captain, Skin-the-Sassy-Muskrat,
And the other, Heap Bad Actors,
Captain, Big Chief Bite-the-Feathers.
On a level stretch of meadow
Near the shores of GitChie Gummle,
These two factions came together.
Observation-Disclosures
Volunteered TO act as umpire;
Up came Skln-the-Sassy Muskrat,
Swung at several wild pitches,
Hit the ozone with his war club.
Batter out!' the umpire shouted.
W~hereupon the mighty Mud Hens,
Led by neutrality-suspicious.,
Drew their scalping knives and started
For the uckless arbitrator,
Observation-Disclosures:
Very thoroughly they scalped him,
they mad him run the gauntlet.
This, my children, is the story
OF the rise and fall of baseball
In the land of the OJlbways!"

Hiawatha On Baseball.

Then. again." said Hiawatha,
II am somewhat interested
In this baseball proposition.
I'm a redhot, ranting rooter,
Very fond of pitchers battles,
Fond OF extra inning contests,
Daily over foxy team work,
Always out to kill the umpire
When he makes a bum decision.
II Is claimed, my li.ue ~dearies,
That this pastime was invented
BY a gent named Father Chadwick,
Who was aided and abetted
BY old Grandad Adrian Arson.
Should you ask me who discovered
And originated baseball,
/ would tell you in a jiffy
1t was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED
Pe-Tu-na Creating a National Sensation In the Cure

Major II. II. Mars, of the First Wis
