Truck growing is having quite a
boom at Caldwell, the farmers
learning the art Of forcing tomatoes
In hot beds, and prActicing other
forms of advanced knowledge in
farming. Such q start was made
about Bryan year ago, and en-
thusiasm ran high. But the mar
keting problem came along for
solution a few months later, and
failure to solve it knocked the
truck boom silly. There is not
much heard Of truck growing this
winter. The farmers at Caldwell
are promised a cannery, to be built
by Caldwell business men, II they
will 20 ahead and plant a large
acreage in tomatoes and other vege-
tables suitable flor canning. If
they get that sort Of cooperation,
they may succeed.

Great truths are dearly bought The com.

Such as men give and take from da,

Comes In the common walk of easy life

Great truths are greatly won, not fount

Nor waited on the breath of summe:

But grasped In the great struggle Of thu,

Hard buffeting with adverse wind ant

But In the day of conflict, fear and grief
When the strong hand of God. put fortl

Pioughs up the subsoil of the stagnan

And brings the imprisoned truth-seet

Wrung from the troubled spirit, in hare

Truth springs like harvest from the well
ploughed field,
And the soul feels it has not wept il

Now, supposing that you have set

they were exposed to it's heat for the

Trick With a Glass Of Water.


Lift the cloth from one corner of the
table, leaving the polished surface ex-
posed, and on it, near the edge, place
goblet. Under the goblet put the
end of a napkin, allowing the rest of
the napkin to hang down by the side
of the table. Just enough Of the cor
ner should be put under the goblet to
keep the napkin from falling to the
floor
Now pour water into the goblet until
it is so full that another drop or two
would make it run over.
The feat is to remove the napkin
without touching the goblet or spill
ing the water.
Perhaps all who are challenged to
do this will attempt to remove the
napkin by slowly pulling it from un-
der the goblet. But in every case of
that kind the goblet will follow the
napkin.
When you have allowed everybody
present to see what they can do in the
matter, low them how it is done.
Take hold OF the hanging part Of the
napkin with your left hand and raise
it until it is in q line straight out
from the table. Hold it firmly, but
don't pull on it.
Then, while holding It thus. strike
the napkin quick, sharp blow with
your right hand, about six inches from
the edge OF the table and 1t will be re-
leased without disturbing the water
at all.

Notwithstanding that relatives, mu-

In general had selected Muriel Wynd-
ham as the future Mrs. Jack Caru-
theirs, no intimation of such a posi-
bility had ever come to notice on the
part of the two persons most con-
cerned.
OF truth there was certain physi-
cal resemblance, which may have held
Its own occult explanation. Brown
hair, with glints of red; hazel eyes,
heavily dashed, except that the one
pair that looked into the other pair
had deeper, darker light, the differ
ence Of its own tenderer sex, or, per-
haps, a rarer nature.
But Muriel Wyndham-wel1, Harry
did not like her for one thing. Be
sides there had been some one else.
Muriel had been widowed at 19.
When the sound of that terrific ex-
plosion in Havana harbor had rever-
berated through the hearts of men,
young Tom Wyndham was one Of the
first to enroll with the volunteers.
There had been a romantic fight to
the Gretna Green across the state
border. o

aed," had promptly confessed, and
were as promptly forgiven by over
fndulgent parents, as well as the
equally fndulgent uncle with whom
Muriel and her younger brother had
always made their home So when
Tom Wyndham steamed away on the
special with his regiment, he left be-
hind wife instead of a sweetheart
to wait and watch for his return.
But that was long ago, as youth
counts the years, and had 1t not been
for that extremely small person, 1.-THE
Pocket Edition Of Tom Wyndham," as
Muriels uncle called him, Jack might
have been able to forget that other.
But forever that soldierly figure,
which his mortal eyes had never be-
held, loomed up before his mental
vision whenever he thought of Muriel
and the gold mine of content that her
compaionship might mean to him-to
some other fellow
Jack had never been able to ex-
plain this peculiar dislike for one so
utterly charming and universally well
liked as was Muriel Wyndham. In
deed, Harry himself had never ex-
pressed it In SO many words. Only
when Muriel was the subject, fit
ting, disagreeable expression of coun-
tenance, bit of skillful innuenco,
and quick, change of subject left the
intangible impression. And Muriel,
too, seemed to prefer to avoid Harry.
