reassuring to the corn shorts, as the
temperature at Dodge City ran UP to 105,
and there were hot winds over pertIon

winds, the kind that do the mischief,
but they were not extensive and 1t was
doubtful whether there had really been
much harm done. Still. the fact that the

timid shorts to covering, as 1T was con-

How Monkeys in India Were Made to
Scatter.

How Monkeys in India Were Made to
Scatter.
A plague Of monkeys recently sorely
troubled the officials at a station on
the Saran railway In northwest India
Trucks full of grain for export were
often stored up In the station, and
the monkeys came Down in large
numbers from a neighboring grove to
help themselves to the grain, picking
holes in the tarpaulin roof Of the
wagons. The officials were wearied
out with keeping watch and soaring
away the thieves. who daily grew
holder, till an ingenious guard hit
upon stratagem. For several days
sweets and fruits were put on the
roofs of the wagons, with the result
that the whole of the monkey colony
were attracted to the spot and soon
became perfectly Indifferent to man.
One morning when they were all
busily feeding an engine was stealth
lily attached to the wagons, and sud
denly the train moved off. The mon
keys were quite scared. and made nc
attempt to escape, sitting crouched
together till the train had gone sew
eral miles and stopped at the jungle
Then they wanted no hint to leave
Every monkey leapt down bowling
and fed into the jungle, whence they
have never returned to trouble the
railway.--Golden Penny.

Points on Seed Wheat.

The size of grain varies in different
varieties and more or less with the
season and soil. Determinations with
the common varieties have shown that
1t is possible to have as many grains
in half bushel of one variety as are
in bushel of another. Hence the
smaller the grains due to this cause
the less seed should be used per acre.
There will be more grains in bushel
Of shriveled wheat than in a bushel of
plump wheat, but there are many cases
in which the rate of seeding would not
be reduced as the vitality or germin-
ating power of such grains is poor
and more seed would be required. This
can be decided by sprouting a hundred
seeds.
Seed that is full of trash and weed
seed, IL 1t is used at all, must be put
on more literally, as all this material
occupies space. The drill has les
sened the amount of seed necessary
from one to two pecks per acre over
the old method of broadcasting, but
the latter is used so seldom now that
further mention is unnecessary.
Whether the seed is weighed or meas
ured out for seeding should be taken
into consideration. or the number of
grains put on an acre may vary con-
siderably. Again many drills do not
put on the amounts designated by the
gauges and the amount put ON will
vary, due to the depth the drill is set.
All of these points should be worked
out by the operator.
The tillering habit differs quite ma
terially between varieties. In some 1t
is very strong and as much seed of
these varieties would not be required
as those in which this characteristic
was not so well developed. Many have
noticed how profusely the Turkey
wheat tillers. Although the question
of the amount Of seed per acre is not
as important as in some others, 1t is
too often passed over by our wheat
growers. The saving In most cases
may be only slight. but 1t is the little
savings that are made regularly that
count for most.-Oklahoma Bulletin.

LAWYER and Witness.

A certain Mr.. H. was sharp law
yer and invariably retained in Grim
inal cases. where his peculiar abilities
we're deemed likely to benefit his
client, writes a contributor to the
Weekly Bouquet. Old Mrs. L., the
widow of a small farmer, was remark
able for her plainness in speech anc
manner, and she was one of the cute
sort. The old woman was an import
ant witness for the prosecution In
which H. defended the evil-doer. Hel
testimony bore hard upon the pris
oner, and in the cross examination
H. endeavered in vain to confuse oil
irritate her.
At length, turning abruptly to the
witness, he exclaimed. Madam, yor
have brass enough in your face tc
make a twelve-quart pail"
YES" replied the witness, "and YOU
have got sass enough in your head
to fill it'll"
The lawyer had done with that wit
ness.

Cow Peas in the Orchard.

On fifteen acres of a ten-year-old
orchard, which the preceding year had

were sown broadcast, June 8, 1901
The balance of the orchard was cult

no further attention. except about one
acre. which was planted in potatoes
The peas came on well, and in ten
days had covered the ground. One
could see but little difference In the
early part of the season. but by the
first of August the hot, dry weather
began to tell. Where the potatoes
were, the leaves on the trees were
brown and looked dark and the fruit
dropped badly. On the five-acre part
the same condition prevailed, but per-
haps not to so great an extent, while
where the peas we're the trees looked
thrifty and the foliage dark and green.
Many a passer-by remarked. What
makes those trees look SO thrifty,
while others show the effects Of the
drouth?" When picking time came
the real difference was apparent; the
potato patch yielded neither apples
nor potatoes. The potatoes were not
worth digging, and three barrels of

There was something so frank and
persuasive about the elegant stranger
that Joris could not refuse the cour-
tesy she asked for herself and her
nephew. And, having yielded, ne
yielded with entire truth and confi'
dence.
Elder Semple was greatly pleased
at his friends complaisance. He gave
Joris full credit for his victory over
his national prejudice, and he did MS
very best to make the concession
pleasant event. In this effort he was
greatly assisted by Mrs. Gordon. she
set herself to charm Van Heemskirk'
as she had set herself to charm Ma
dam Van Heemskirk on her previous
visit, and she succeeded so well, that
when Sir Roger de Coverley" was
called, Joris rose, offered her his hand
and to the delight of every one pres
ent, led the dance with her.
II was little triumph for the elder
Indeed, he was so interested in listen
ing to the clever way in which the
bonnie woman fiattered Van Heems-
kirk" that he was quite oblivious OF
the gathering wrath in his sons face,
and the watchful gloom in Bram's
eyes, as the two men stood together,
jealousy observant Of Capt. Hyde's
attentions to Katherine. Without any
words spoken on the subject. there
was an understood compact between
them to guard the girl from any pri-
vate conversation with him; and yet
two men with hearts full Of suspicion
and jealousy were not a match for one
man with heart full Of love. In
moment, in the interchange OF their
hands in dance, Katherine clasped
tightly a little note, and unobserved
hid it behind the rose at her breast.
The loving girl thought 1t no wrong
to put it there; she even hoped that
some kind of blessing or sanction
might come through such sacred keep
ing and she went to sleep whispering
to herself
Happy | am. Me he loves; me he
loves; me only he loves; me forever

At Van Heemskirk's store Capt.
Hyde asked for the councillor and
was taken to his Office.
"Your servant, captain. Is there
any thing can oblige you in, sir?"
Joris asked the question because
the manner of the young man struck
him as uneasy and constrained; and
he thought, Perhaps he has come to
borrow money" He was not. there

answered:
"Sir, you can, indeed, oblige me,

"sir, it is not money-in particu-

"So?"

Then Joris stood up, and looked
steadily at the sutton. His large.
amiable face had become in mo-

in his eyes was like the cold, sharp
light that falls from drawn steel.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET,

NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-The cotton trade
this morning was confronted on the one
hand with weak set OF cables and fine
weather map, and on the other hand.
with expectations OF a buIlish Govern
ment crop report. The opening showed
decided weakness with heavy offerings OF
all positions and buyers evidently scarce
in spite of the bull crop report talk.
Bear pressure was again clearly in evil
dence. getting more or less impetus
from the big receipts at Galveston and
Savannah as pointing to a heavy move
ment for the day After the opening the
market continued weak and feverish,
pending the arrival OF the crop report.
Immediately following the publication
OF the Government report. the market
became wildly excited, jumping 4 to II
points on heavy covering of shorts. oc-
tober led the advance. For a time
there was semi-panic among the Oc-
tober bears. October Jumped from the
opening price, 9.1s, to 9.4s. and all win
