.'The Blonde In Black" at The Knick'
erbocker.

Blanche Ring in "The Blonde in
Black" enters upon the second month
of it's career the coming week at the
Knickerbocker Theatre, New York,
In its condensed form, with the adj
dition of several breezy and popular
songs and the swinging in line OF some
more contemporaneous humor, Man
ager George w. Lederer feels that in
this new result of the combination of
Harry B. Smith and Gustave Kerker
he has a summer production thorough
ly appropriate to the requirements OF
the patrons of this house. In its
present shape of two acts, instead of
three, the entertainment ends at the
seasonable hour of quarter to eleven,
so that patrons do not have to sit for
an unusual length of time within
doors on comparatively warm nights.
Miss Ring has made special hits with
her rendering of "She Walks Like
This, = We American Ragtime" and
"The Banjo Serenade,' and she now
sings "The Belle of Avenue A"
regularly. Miss Rose Beaumont, Miss
Violet Halls, Harry Conor. Albert
Hart, Charles Bowers, Refine Davies
and the other principals continue in
high favor in their original roles, and
the innumerable pretty show girls
still watch alertly the comic episodes
through which Flossie Featherley
Miss Ring, as the teacher of the
American cakewalk in the French
capital, proceeds in her usual breezy
and contagious manner.

 When night ranks" formed. however, Mrs. samuels had an announcement to make.
 "The thing have always tried hardest to instil Into the young ladies under my charge, she said, ''is courtesy, especially to stranger or guest and an excellent opportunity has just presented Itself for most of those present to do credit to my teaching schoomate has come here at a time when the rest are all old friends l hope you have done all In your power to make her feel at home am sure, after what have taught yom, you all consider Rosalie as n guest, and that in order to show her how welcome she is you will gladly join with me in asking her to be queen of our approaching festival"
 If wns impossible to suppress the excite ment after that. More than half the school lost marks for talking In their rooms Even the loss of marks, however, could not keep Rosalie's roommate quiet, so wild with curl osIty was she
 How did you hypnotize him, Rosalie, dear?" she begged,

 "I won't" laughed Rosalie.

made by comb and brush. In two minutes the yacht was far away and Dick was alone with the blood and rain running down his face and q mile of water between him andl land.
 With a ''Now for itr' Dicks jaws came together like q steel trap, locking in his de- termination to save Nelly Baldwin from the fate of poor little Charlie Ross who had been stolen two years before and was never heard of afterward. Stroke after stroke, on and on. toward that distant pier, Dick swan through the dark and rain. Now It seemed a thousand miles away, now as If he would surely go to the bottom Then he would duck his head to wash the blood from his eyes. How far away the sky seemedi How cold the water was growingl How dark, how very dark It wasl How faint he was gettingi He turned over on his back and foated awhile, and in that posi- tion, thinking of Nelly Baldwn's dreadful fate If he should drown, he sent up little prayer through the rain.
 Steadily, splendidly through the waters he ploughed, until 1t seemed ages since he had leaped from that plerl Nelly might never again be heard of The thought was mad- dening! Then the tears ran down with the blood and rainl Another dip, and his eyes were clear and he could see lanterns nov ing about the pier. He summoned all his strength and packed It into one long, tre- mendous shout. Some of the lanterns seemed to drop on the pier. Those who carried them were getting into rowhoats. It seemed to Dick as if he were dropping out of bal loon, as if he were dying under mountain, and then-a gasp-two white arms in the air-and n blankl
 When he opened his eyes men and women, boys and girls seemed to be about him. In the army he saw Mir. and Mrs. Baldwin. He gasped his story into their eager ears and then away he went Into the land of oblivion again.
 In less than five hours that yacht was cap tured by revenue cutter or Nix's Mate, In Massa chusetts Bay.
 MT. Baldwin had telegraphed the story to Police Headquarters In Boston, and by sun. rise Nelly Baldwin was In the arms of her father and mother.

Mrs. Samuels wns so fond of her pet. however. that the girl who was wise would not moest hlfp, nor even show her dislike to him Once there had been girl who actually pushed the eat out of her way with her foot, and Mrs. Samuels saw her. Well. that gir. had beer chosen queen of the schoo, festival, and had made her dress for the occasion. and everything. But the arsS thing Mrs. Samuels did was to an nounes that she had concluded that another girl hsd better right to be queen. after all. And everyone knew the reason. On the other hand. there was girl-no one remem- bered her but It was legend in the school of whom the cat had really been fond. and Mrs. Snmues. so report said had showered that girl with favors until the rest were green with envy.
 Rosnlie's eyes twinkled as she listened to these stories "I'll tell you what" she said. sI'll hypnotize the cat so that hell become very fond of mo. Then Mrs. sam. uels may choose me as queen of the fes- tival this year.
 You queen. Oh, no; that's impossible. '' said the other girls. "Why, the festival ls only two weeks or. Mrs. Samuels will announce her choice in a day or so. Be- sides to be queen is an honor conferred upon the girl who, n the estimation of all the teachers. has been the most de serving during the whole year"

 Neither will I,' said Rosale
 Perhaps you think can't keep secret?' said Cecilia humbly.
 ''I know l can," returned Rosalie as she turned out the light.
 About twelve o'clock that night Rosale was awakened by slight shake on the shoulder. She found Cecilia standing by her bed
 ''Rosaie dear" she whispered excltedly was 1t the power Of the hnman eyeT Did you simply stare at him until you conquered him?"
 Rosale laughed in spite of herself "Yon dreadful girl The idea of waking me up to ask that"

 He recognized her as Mir. Roger Baldwin's daughter Nelly. Mir Baldwin was the rich est man in Dorchester and Nellie was his only child. Dick gasped
 What Is the matter, Ney?"
 Then Nelly Baldwin sobbed as If her little heart would break as she replied:-
 "'rhe bad men stole me off the porch while l was playing with Fido after dinner"
 Dick did not walt to hear any more. He said:-
 'rll save you. Don't worry," and he was on deck like a flash.
 The yacht was going through the water at A spanking gait, the sails were up and there was man at the wheeh Dick shot past him like an arrow from Robin Hoods bow and took a header oTer the stern, while the man at the wheel yelled:-
 Here! What are you-who-say, Bill, wing that duck, quick!'

June the Seventeenth, 1876, just one hun dred years to the day after the Battle or Bunker Hill. was red letter day in the lie of Dick Talbot
 In the first place. he was fourteen years old on that day; and in the next place, he had pitched his club the Trimouutains. to victory, over their bitter rivals, the Won fers, In an exciting 21 to 20 game, of ter Innings.
 In the next place
 But wait until we get to 1t.
 Dick was an orphan. his father having died for his country when Dick was little chap in dresses: hss mother having passed away a few years later. leaving Dick in charge of maiden aunt. who was not quite rich enough to prepare and send Dick to Harvard where he onced 10 go wben he should be two years older. In order to pitch on the college team and row stroke oar in the eight cared crew on the Charles River. But at fourteen there was no more chance of Dick Talbot going to Harvard than there was of his going to dine with President U. s. Grant.
 On the day our story opens something happened to Dick that changed the whole current of his life's stream.
 After the game and t,g Wonders had gone home defeated to HyS, Park it began to and It came down as If 1t intended to make clean. all night job of It. As the boys ran Into old Sky High Grimcra ck's old red barn, out of the wet. Dick said:-
 Say, fellows. this Is just the kind of weather n which to go in swlmmingr'
 No sooner were the words uttered than the boys began to get out of thelr clothes and Into their bathing trunks. which were hang ing in the barn. Then, with wild yells of laughter, they all started for the water in the raln. and Dick was the first to dive off the little pier which ran from the barn 30 feet out into the bay. One boy after another followed and soon they were all spla ashing around. ducking each other and playing leapfrog.
 About a quarter of mile from the pier vas small white schooner yacht lying at anchor. She had been tAere for week. Nobody seemed to know anything about her or very little, which amounted to this: Her owners. two mysterious-ooking men, were seen around the village good deal. but for what purpose nobody seemed to have much of an idea. They were evidently enjoying vacation.
 Say, fellows" said Dick; ~I am going to swim out to have peep in at that yacht. Anybody coming?'
 Nobody cared to accompany him. which proves that nothing wns to happen to any boy In the crowd but Dick. So Dick started for the yacht alone. The other boys swan ashore, dressed, and went home, forgetting all about Dick In a rushing game of ''tag'' on the way, Knowing that Dick was perfect y able to take hrstclass care of himself.
 Dick swan out to the mysterious yacht, and boarded her over the bows Nobody seemed to be aboard. Dick went aft and looked Into the cabin. Nobody there. He went down the companionway and looked around Not sound could be heard except the splash and patfer of the waves and rain. Boy like be peered Into the bunks- The cabin was nicely furnished; the hunks were cean- There were fashy New York weekly papers on the llttie table in the center of the cabin, and book called Cast Up by the

But Rosalie did not seem impressed with these arguments.
 Perhaps If the cat grew very fond of me l might be queen," she persisted. Anyhow, it's worth trying"
 Some of the girls began to exchange anxious glances, for to be queen of the school festival was the most coveted honor of the year, and many of them had hopes of being the fortunate one
 You don't suppose she means it?'' they questioned.
 And others laughingly reassured them.
 "Nopsensel How could she hypnotize catg' they asked.
 And Rosane refused to say anything further upon the subject.
 The next afternoon Rosaie was per mitted to go out to see about her trunk, which had not yet arrived. On her return she went 10 Mrs. Samuers office to report and found the cat sitting on the satin cushion by his mistress side.
 As Rosalie stood talking to her the prin- cipal was amazed to see her pet walk over to the young girls sIdc and begin to purr and rub himself In a most ingratlating manper against her skirts.
 You dear beauty" said Resale, stoop- ing to caress his head. This time the cat did not snnrl or scratch, but Instead

 When Rosalie entered Mrs samuels' select boarding school for young ladies the other pupils looked upon her merely ns a very pretty and very jolly new girl" The even Ing after her arrival she entertained them all with a number of games and songs they had never heard before, and was the center of attraction, as every new girl always was. But 1t was not until the cat appeared upon the scene that Rosalie became parsonage of absorbing interest to the entire school.
 The cat, as must be explained, was the special pet and pride of Mrs. samuels, the principal of the academy. It slept upon satin cushion in her study, and was such big, handsome Persian that everyone fell in love with him a first sight.
 When Rosaiie first saw him, as he walked sedately through the recreation hall, she stopped the game she was lending.
 "Oh, you perfect beauty" she exclaimed and, unmindfnl of the warning chorus which arose from the other girls she ran over and stopped to pat his head.
 To her surprise, the cat turned upon her with vicious snarl, and If she had not grabbed her hand away quickly she would have had a scratch in return for her caress.

Philosophy for the Farmer.

It is better to have an apple tree in
the yard than a doctors office. The
first will prevent many resorts to the
latter
The good stock man feeds his calves
little grain at morning and evening.
The good breeder is the good feeder.
The grain thus fed is money well ex-
pended.
The man with the yard-stick has no
advantages over the man with the hoe.
The man with the hoe moves in the
best Of society, and there is no reason
why he should not be the peer Of any
man.
Where hand separators are used on
the farm and the skinned milk fed to
calves, little chop or meal will possess
an equal or greater feeding value than
the butter fat removed by the separator.
The man who deliberately takes a
risk where it appears unsafe, has no
right to kick If he loses by such trans
action. There is legitimate risk taken
in all kinds Of crops when they are put

but little legitimacy in it.
The man who sows grain this year al
lowing tone grain for the squirrel, one
for the crow and two to grow" will
have good stand if his grain is any
good at all. The man who knows his
grain sows none but what he wants to
grow.
1t is often remarked that "there is a
mutual relation between orchard, clover
and pigs. The pigs thrive on the clover
and consume all the fallen and wormy
fruit; the clover keeps the soil cool,
mellow and moist; the trees thrive be-
cause OF the improvement Of the soil
and the destruction OF the insects"
Some people are so scared at the great
octopus that is threatening all OF us
that they really do not appear on the
stage OF action long enough to engage in
common farming. There is a vast diff
ference in the yield of crops grown while
the owner is sitting on dry goods box
in town and those grown by farmer
who is found engaged in cultivating
them, ,-EX,
