HER FIRST FAMILY FUNERAL.
Something Entirely New to the
Widow and 1t Made Her
Nervous.

The afternoon was hot and sultry. Every
passenger in the waiting train was hopping
his brow and wishing that the train would
hurry out of the station, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
The oppressiveness was made doubly op-
pressive by the entrance of a womanin deep
mourning.
I'D think she'd melt under that Rot veil"
whispered one girl to another.
All eyes conferred on the woman of sor-
row. The somberness of her garb made the
train seem almost sepulchral. But the worst
was yet to come. A man, who had been no
ticed as her companion. had stopped at the
cooler to get a drink. The woman quietly
arose, stepped into the aisle, and called to the
man:
Felix. don't forget the body. It'd be an
awful joke if the train got to Calvary and
him not aboard
Everybody in the car shuddared. Then
she turned to a woman sitting behind her
and said:
Its my husband. It's the first time l
ever had anything to do with this kind OF "a
thing, and it makes me nervous"

The Question Answered,

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-Many
questions are being asked of Mr.. G. ID. Holt
Of this place in regard to his wonderful re
covery. For two years he has been down with
his back. He was so very bad that he could
not even lace his shoes, and from this con.
dition he suddenly appeared well and strong
as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his friends
are asking him How did youdo it,"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it" and adds This remedy is a genuine
good medicine and one that | can heartily
recommend to everybody.
Everyone around here knows how very
bad | was. | was so weak in my back that
! couldn't do anything that needed stoop-
Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as
well as ever | was"
"They certainly had a wonderful effect on
my case"

Hints for siIo Builders.

The builder of a silo should deter
nine to use first-class material only.
1t will pay him to visit the best silos
he can hear Of that he may secure in
formation sure to prove valuable to
him in the construction of his own silo.
Only by the use Of good material can
he be sure that his silo will be alright
and will keep his silage from spelling.
Good material and good construction in
crease the life Of the silo, which is a
very important item, as the silo should
be viewed in the light Of a permanent
Improvement. The hoopage should be
ample that the silo may be able to with
stand the pressure from Within

The easiest way to handle a crop OF
dry shell beans for winter use is to
allow the pods to ripen on the plants.
II dry, clear weather, pull the plants
and allow them to dry on the ground
for one or two days. Then store the
entire plant in a dry, cool place to be
threshed when convenient. Treated in
this way the pods do not have to be
picked from the plant. The threshed
seed is roughly cleaned in a tanning
mill and the straw fed to sheep, hogs or
cattle. In wet weather or with pole
varieties, the pods will have to be gath
cred by hand as fast as they ripen, and
spread thinly in a cool, dry place, so
that the beans will not become discol-
ored. -Superintendent e. D. Darling

The country along the Cotton Belt Route
in Southeast Missouri, Arkansas. North
west Louisiana and Texa offers the great
est opportunities for Homeseekers Mild
climate, good water, cheap building ma
terial, abundance of fuel, and soil that will
often in a single season yield enough to pay
for the ground. Land can be bought as
cheap as $3.50 an acre, prairie land at a
and 50 per acre up, bottom land at s. and
50 per acre up, improved or partly cleared
land at $40 and SIS per acre up. Some fine
propositions for colonies-tracts of 1000 to
5000 acres at 81 to SO per acre-big money
in this for a good organizer. Fruit and
truck lands in the famous peach and toma-
to belt of East Texas at SLOT to $50 per acre

THE A
SOIL on Which 1t Is Located Must Be
Neither Too Rich Nor Alto
gether Poor.

In spite of the disasters experienced
by peach growers during the last
five years, peach orchards are being
planted in considerable numbers and
on large areas. This is a wise thing
to do, as a big crop now and then
helps to average up the lean years
and the years when freezes DESTROY
large areas of peach orchards. Grad.
ually localities are being found in
most OF our states where the disasters
come rarely and where crops of peach.
es are
Soil for peach orchards may be
Of almost any character, except
swampy. Wherever situated it should
contain enough sand to permit of a
sort of natural drainage about the
roots. Where there is a hard, com.
pact clay beneath, peach trees should
not be planted. as the roots of the
trees find it difficult or impossible to
penetrate it and are compelled to feed
only in the surface soil. When the.
water in the surface soil is gone, the
roots are exposed to the drought.
When they go into winter in this con.
dition they are most easily affected by
the cold. 1t is now believed that
moisture in the soil has a very i'm.
portant influence in bringing trees
through severe winters unframed. In
addition, where there is a hard pan
that will hold water. some of the
trees will most likely be set in basins
that will keep their roots immersed
for weeks during the wet weather.
This often results in the destruction
of the tree. as the roots of peach trees
must have air as well as water to en-.
able them to grow. The texture of
the subsoil has much to do with the
success Of the peach orchard. 1t must
not be so impervious to water as to
hold it for long periods and it must
not be so porous as to permit it to
leach away too readily. The soil
should be loose enough to permit the
passage of water, out must be close
enough to keep the law of capillary
attraction in operation. A good peach
soil is neither too rich nor too poor.
A too rich soil gives wood growth at
the expense Of fruit.-Farmers' Re.

bore a hole through the bottom to take
an inch iron bar just long enough to
keep the cask in position. Let the roll
ers rest on a ~flagstone or cement floor,
so that the barrel may be partly turned
around every day to face the sun. Two

Bore two-inch holes in a ziszas

apertures insert the crown, OF heal, of
the plants in some fine mold. A wire

 READY FOR FLEET All Preparations Made to Re-
 ceive Admiral Cotton ENGLISH SHIPS ASSEMBLE Today Will Be Witnessed Brilliant Naval Pageant in Which English and American Men-of-war Will
 Play Prominent Parts.
 
ENGLISH SHIPS ASSEMBLE

Portsmouth, Eng, July 6.-In the midst of the entertainment of President Lou bet England has not neglected to make full preparations for the reception of Rear Admiral Cotton's squadron tomor- row It had not been expected that the American warships would arrive until to- morrow morning, and Sir Archibald Berxley Milner, commodore of the royal yachts, especially detailed by King Ed ward, tonight had long conference with Sir Charles Hotham, admiral command ing at Portsmouth and Lord Charles Beresford, commanding the Channel squadron regarding the details of the reception.
 The heavy weather in the channel drove the Kearsarge, the San Francisco and the Chicago into Spithead tonight. As soon as the news was communicated to Ad- miral Hotham, the vessels of the Channel squadron began to twinkle welcome with their electric lights, but beyond this there was no demonstration this after noon The gunboat Machias has not yet arrived.
 The British squadron at Portsmouth is more formidable in offensive power than the Channel squadron, which received President Loubet at Dover today. It in- cluded the battleships Majestic, the Mag nificent, Mars, Prince George, Jupiter and Hannibal the armored cruisers Hope ana Sutlej, the protected cruisers Dois, Pac- tolus and Prometheus.
 The city is decorated with the British American colors. The American warships assembled at Spithead will enter at 9:SO o'clock tomorrow morning at Ports mouth harbor, passing through the line of British warships which will fire sa- lutes. This compliment will be returned by the Kearsarge and her consorts which will be elaborately decorated.
 The entertainment will be robbed of the spectacular character of the cere- monis at Kiel, as King Edward, unlike the German emperor. will be unable to be present.
