several nearby tables. Many OF the
baskets were OF great beauty and or a
most delicate workmanship and ranged
In price as high as $50
The collection was Of great interest, not
alone because Of its intrinsic worth, but
IL Illustrated the lecture I'm most ad-
mirable way Miss Southwick told the
story OF her travels in foreign lands and
her interest I'm basketry I'm a most In
teresting manner. explaining the way In
which baskets were made In various
parts OF the world.
She explained also the antiquity OF
baskets and quoted from Chaucer and
other writer's Of the 18th century 10 show
that baskets were mentioned In the lit

the west are the best basket makers in

Previous TO the lecture Mrs George
II. Corey. chairman OF the travelling
library department OF the state fedora

bert A. Deans residence at AT Pine
street last night.
The last OF the household 10 retire put
out the gas at 1O:3O o'clock. When Mr.
Dean awoke at $50 o'clock this morning
and began to dress he discovered that
his pantaloons had disappeared from his
bed room. This was a surprise for he
distinctly remembered OF having those
trousers last night and OF taking them
off. He hadn't put them in the ice chest
and they had not been thrust into the
kitchen stove.
Hes tarted TO investigate the mystery
and found his pantaloons In the lower
front hall. the pockets turned inside out
and his empty pocket book near by the
garments.
While the household slumbered serene
ly burglar had. by using duplicate

Farm Notes.

The cow that gets fat is never the
best one for the dairyman. The good
dairy cow has a good appetite and eats
heavily, but her feed goes to milk rich
in butter fat instead Of to the mixing
of flesh.
A great deal Of hay is sent to mar
ket that is full of weeds. Such hay
brings the lowest price, and also indi-
Gates that the farmers who ship it are
not only careless, but also ignorant of
the true methods of farming.
The Keifer pear Is one Of the best
varieties for canning, and is also hardy
and a strong grower, but the suppose
ton that it is free from attacks of
blight is not corroborated by growers.
There is no blight-proof pear.
When it is known that the olfacto-
ries of COW are ten times more acute
than those of man it would be seen
at once the necessity for keeping the
troughs clean and sweet. Aslittle feed
left in a trough will become as dis
tasteful to cow as it would be for
a man to continue for a week eating
from the same plate without cleans
ing.

The COntrabandiSt:
One Life'S Secret!


This was all she thought of-that ven
geance must be had. How it was to
work, or when, was unknown. Its very
shape was yet underlined; but some shape
or other it must take soon. At present
a vague idea only fioated before her. 1t
was sweet. in her bitterness of soul, to
contemplate it. She would lay her plan
carefully. It should be matured to the
rarest perfection, before the period for
action came. that there might be no fail
ure. She said to herself, Il will never
see Rose Lamonte the bride of Louis!'
1t was known among the guests at the
chateau the next morning that Rose and
Louis were betrothed, and something was
whispered, too, concerning the romance
attached to the affair. The good Coun-
tess de Clairville had kissed and congrat-
ulated the young girl to her hearts con-
tent. Everywhere there were smiles; ev
erywhere there were happy hearts, save
in one bosom.
The young count had taken his cousin
Helen out upon the terrace; he had told
her he wished to talk with her alone, and
she knew well that which she was to
hear. To Helen, Louis had been wont to
give his confidence; it was pleasant to do
SO; and now, that he had so much to
confde, he turned to her still.
Helen Montauban listened quietly to
all, and with an interest scarcely feigned.
Was it not the story Of a ruined hope as
we'll as Of a rivals happiness? Every
word struck deep and keenly; she felt
them but too well; yet she hid her ag-
ony and listened and sympathized and
congratulated till she wondered at her
own self-command. And Louis, in the
honest sincerity of his own heart, fully
trusted in and gratefully credited those
false, deceitful, gently uttered assur-
ances. Helen Montauban had force Of
will sufficient to make her an admirable
actress.
Lord Egerton was much more gay and
ight-hearted than he had seemed for
some time past. For always, despite HIM
self, uneasy and jealous because of what,
with jaundiced sight, had seemed to him
to be the preference of Louis for Helen,
he had now experienced a sudden and
most welcome sense Of freedom from ap-
prehension that he was relieved of his
former fears. True, Mademoiselle Mon
tauban treated him with no more favor
than formerly; but he did not cease to
hope.

Care of Winter App1es.

Gathering and storing winter apples
Is an important duty that must be at
tended to before the heavy frosts begin
in the fall. Apples that are to be kept
over winter should be carefully picked
and placed in barrels. After picking
they should be left in the open air for
some time, as this tends to thoroughly
ripen them. They also pass through a
sweat at first, and it is much better If
they can be left exposed SO that all sur
face moisture Is evaporated. Fruit
should be placed in cool, dark cellar.
In some instances where there are
few barrels of specially good apples
the practice is adopted of wrapping
the apples in paper. This prevents
them from coming in contact with one
another and will insure their keeping.
It usually pays to pick over apples two
or three times during the winter, so
that those showing signs of decay may
be discarded. Windfalls should never
be placed among apples that are hand
picked. A plentiful supply of apples
to be used in the family during the
winter will contribute much to the
general healthfulness Of every member
Of the family.-Iowa Homestead.

A Spiders Expedient.

A Spiders Expedient.
Last summer a large spider had its
web in the top Of decaying peach
tree with SO few leaves that it was in
plain view. I caught sight Of her
first while watching some birds with
my glass. She seemed to be climbing
from the top of the tree on nothing
to a telephone wire some fifteen feet
away and somewhat higher than her
web. When she reached the wire she
went around it and then back. In
studying the situation found that the
web was SO located that it required
cable to. hold it up, and the spider
had in some way got one over the wire
SO IA. away. This cable was, Of
course, a slender silken thread which
evidently she had thrown out. and on
account of its lightness it had foated
to the right place and became attached
there by it's gludnous properties. It
seems remarkable that it should have
adhered to the wire firmly enough to
allow SO large an insect to climb over
it, which she did every day.
