THERE WAS LUCK IN
HIS LAST NICKEL
Minneapolis Man Tells Chicago Re-
porter How 1t Brought Wealth.

1.-The charities that soothe and heal
and bless are scattered at the feet of
man like flowers" said Wordsworth.
But he failed to say whom they
"soothed and healed and blessed. j. c.
S. Johnstone, a middle-aged Minneap-
oils millionaire, is more specific, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Give" says he. Give, even to your
last nickel, if you hope to be soothed
and blessed and well heeled."
Ten years ago Johnstone was poor,
desperately poor. Today he is prosper
ous And he attributes his success to
one charitable act, the giving of his
last 5-cent piece to a Salvation Army
girl. Yesterday at the Auditorium
Annex, where he occupies a suite Of
three rooms, he told his story. after
handing 81 bill, with the grace of a
cavalier, to a young woman in blue
poke bonnet.
"See how that girls eyes snapped
when she looked at that bill and heard
me tell her / didn't want any change? ?''
he began. well, every time I see that
look am grateful. 1t was woman in
a uniform like hers that proved to be

streets of the city.
Finally my last day came. had a
nickel in my pants pocket, and a de-
termination in my breast to make one
more try for a job in the flour mills
that had refused me about forty times.
Then, when these two small hopes, the
nickel and the job, had vanished, it was
a case Of off the dock, two for five
with me.
Give me nickel, sir, to help the
poor said a pretty, checked girl,
stopping me on Hennepin avenue.
Take it, said I; it's the last one;
and here's wishing you joy with it.
1.-THE girls eye snapped, kind Of

There was one of my hopes gone. But
I didn't seem to mind very much. In
fact, the sight of her pleasure braced

Mr.. Johnstone's voice was fairly tri-

SMALLPOX BECOMES
MORE MALIGNANT
Fifteen of 1856 Cases Prove Fa-
tai in 1908 as Against No
Deaths Last Year.

Miss Ada Yerrington, a waitress
aged eighteen, of Durand, Wis, who
died at the detention hospital yester-
day morning, is the fifteenth victim of
smallpox in St. Paul since Jan. 1.
The disproportionate mortality rate
in smallpox cases in st. Paul this year,
as compared with former years. dem
onstrates that the disease has taken a
more malignant phase and has caused
the health department some concern,
as well as exciting it to the exercise
of the utmost caution in isolation and
insistence upon the vaccination laws.
Last year the health department
cared for 1872 cases of smallpox with
out a single death. The first seven
months of 1903 show a total of 1856
cases and Is deaths. There were no
fatalities from smallpox in January or
July. May was the worst month, with
seven deaths; April was next, with
four deaths, while February. March,
June and August to date show one
death each.

British Tariff and Our Trade.

Things have been happening In Eng
lish politics which are of great inter
est to all American agricuturists. The
great storm of tariff discussion has
come on with roar, and within a com-
paratively short time probably within
year. 1t is to be determined whether
Great Britain will remain free trnde
country or join the ranks Of protec-
Zionist ones. Boiled down. the Cham
berlain proposals are that Canadian
grain and Australian meat shall be ad
mitted to the British market free. while
a duty is imposed against American
grain and meat. Great Britain is our
best customer. taking more than one
half of our agricultural surplus, 1t
means many dollars out of our farmers
pockets If we are compelled to pay a
duty to get into the British market
while competitors get in free. 1t is our
interest to pray for the undoing of
Joseph Chamberlain and the defeat of
his projects. He has now retired to
Elba. When he energies may he meet

Experiences In Miehigan-AifaIfa n
Soil ReuOvator, Not Robber.

Experience In MISUNDERSTANDING
Soil Reuovator. Not Robber.
In alfalfa tests mt the Michigan ex-
pertinent station in 1901 the alfalfa
seed sowu contained weed seed None
of the weeds became troublesome ex-
cept two. One is the common weed
known as ribwort. or narrow leayed
plantain, which WAS literally sprinkled
over every plot. The other WAS found
only on the plot of Turkestan alfalfa
and was the common pest known as
d0dder, parasitic plant developing
numerous orange colored threads
which Irvine around the stem of the
alfalfa and kill it. The remedy for the
dodder is 10 NOV the alfalfa before the
seeds of the dodder mature. or, if not
discovered in time TO do that, TO NOW
and burn on the ground to prevent
scattering the seeds over new territory.
All the varieties sown answered to
the description of alfalfa. the various
seeds being either of foreign or dOmes-
tic origin. No distinction as to growth
or hardness could be observed. All
were approximately of the same height
when harvested. and the difference in
yield could not serve rs n safe basis of
comparing the varieties. the plots be
ing too small Turkestan alfalfa diff
fers but slightly from the other va
rieties. The yelvety feeling of the
leaves caused by minute hairs is per
haps more prominent in this variety.
and this ought to be a point in its IA
vor as far as hardness is concerned.
The distinction between sand lucern
and the other varieties is too small to
be noticed by the average observer. 1t
Is said TO be superior to the others on
light sandy soil and to be killed by
stagnant water. 1t is claimed for 1t
that it will stand cold weather better
than common alfalfa. The growth in
1901 of this sort Was so satisfactory
that two crops might have been safe
ly removed had the autumn been AS ia
vOrable as that of the normal season.
Usually the plots were moved in the
morning as soon as the dew vas off,
the swath left until the leaves We're
wilted and then raked in windows
vi IL lew DlOtS lut nay Was SuilICltill
ly cured to be hauled under cover the
same day, while that on others was
left in small cocks during most of the
following day. The hay was in prime
condition. keeping its bright green col
or and holding its leaves well when
handled. Its fine aroma could be easi-
ly distinguished long after other crops
were stored in the same barn. The
hay was harvested when the plots
were slightly more than one-third in
blossom.
These experimental plots were not
fully established even during the sec
ond season, but their behavior and
thriftiness at this early age lead the
station to recommend alfalfa as one
of the most suitable and valuable for
age crops for the millions of acres of
limestone soil Of the upper peninsula.
Being a soil replenisher, alfalfa should
take the place Of timothy which Is
relatively a soil robber. This advice
is driven home by the fact that the
annual yield of hay from an alfalfa
field Is sometimes three and five times
as great as from a similar field of tim
othy.
