from one single acre, 100 bar
rels of radishes for 100000,
gross; another patch of acres
radishes yielded 81, 463 90, net.
In the spring of 1902, another
truck gardener sold 800 barrels
of potatoes in Pittsburgh from
3 acres of ground for $l,54S,
and after paying all expenses,
cleared $4,000 or 1897 80 per
acre. Within two weeks after

harvested his corn, sold his
melons, and afterwards cut two
crops of hay off of the same

Taken at His Word.

When dealing with black servants in
India, 1t is necessary to be very careful
in the wording of ones instructions, for
they are sometimes taken very literally.
A missionary voyaging on a river boat
with primitive accommodation was
compelled to use a bucket as a wash
bowl. One morning his boy servant
was bringing the bucket to his master
when he spilled some of it over the lat
ter's feet. "Why don't you throw it
all over mei" said the missionary irri-
tably. "Aha" exclaimed the boy and
promptly did so.

Cynthia Parker had had ideals oyer
since she was old enough to read Of
Jack the Giant Killer. AS she grew nm
she finally painted a Bayard in her own
imagination. He was a tall, dark
knight, who rode a coal black horse
and had a clarion voice.

was the only sea known to the Romans

bits high, with brass statue on it and
an inscription stating this to be the lin
it of navigation. Beyond was a "sea of
darkness" infested with terrors beyond
lne power OF the imagination to con-
ceive. Occasionally a bold navigator
did, nevertheless, venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
or, more alarming still, gigantic hand
supposed to be that of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. 1t
was reported to be so dense with salt
ness and so crowded with seaweeds and
huge beasts that headway could not be
made through it. Even up to the time
Of Columbus such beliefs prevailed,
and his crews were terrified on entering
the Saragossa sea by the weeds and
calms.

Weak
People

It's not what we eat, but what
we digest that makes strength.
The trouble with most weak
people is, they can neither cat nor
digest good food.
Such people can't work success
fully. 1t takes fuel to make steam,
and it takes food to make strength.
A young fellow came in the
store the other day. He was
white and thin. I'm afraid I'll
have to give up my job," said he.
I'm tired before the day is half
gone. l seem to be losing strength
all the time.
The clerk said: " Fred, know
something that will help you. It's
Vinol. The boss has got hold of
a way to prepare cod liver oil so it
tastes all right. He calls it Vinol.
There is iron in it, and it's Just the
stuff for fellows like you. It'll
give you an appetite. 1t won't
hurt you anyway. Lots of folks
round here are taking it, and they
tell their friends, and they come
and get it. If it don't help you,
come back and get your money"
We endorse what the clerk, said.
We wouldn't have put time, money
and reputation into Vinol, if we
hadn't known it was different from
the general run of medicines.
About ninety-eight out of one
hundred run down people, weak
mothers, pale children, and old

Greeley Napier was yesterday after
noon bound over to the grand jury on
the charge of breaking and entering,
after trial in police court which last
ed through almost the entire day. The
introduction of evidence was not fin
ished until about 4 o'clock and by sup
per time Napier, who is regarded in
Missouri as dad man. was confined
in the county jail There he will stay
until action is taken on his case by the
grand jury, unless, as is hardly prob
able, he secures bail in the sum of
$3.50. He is accused of breaking into
the chicken house on the farm of Ben
Randell near Chillicothe, and stealing
therefrom several chickens and turk
eys. He is alleged to have sold the
poultry at local poultry house and
Mrs. Randell went to this place yester-
day morning. picked out her own fowls
from among the others and had them
offered as evidence in the trial.
& Attempts an AIibi.
i Napier attempted to prove an alibi
as defense, and had witnesses who
said he was not in the vicinity of the
Randell farm Monday night, when the
theft took place. However, Judge
Moon didn't consider the testimony of
the best quality and in fact did not
consider it at all.
Seneca Cornell, county attorney
elect, prosecuted the case. Although
he has not yet taken his oath of Of
fee, he will do SO next Monday, and
as the Napier case will be in his hands
before the district court he elected to
try it in the lower court SO that he
will be in touch with it later on. B.
w. Scott defended Napier.
Napier is believed to be at the
head of one of the boldest gangs of
chicken thieves Wapello county has
ever known. The police jf this city
have had much trouble with different
members of the Napier family, includ
ing Henry Napier, a younger brother
of the present prisoner, and Gabe
Johnson, a cousin. Henry Napier
who was recently held to the grand
jury by Justice Campbell and allow.
ed to go free on his own bond, is re
puted by the police to be the ablest
chicken thief who ever operated in
Wapello county.
Henry Napier Disappears.
Just at present the police are won
