ed about him. He was two miles from
town. The nearest house was the Brss-
Goes, far down the road. He knew the
rain would come now. There was big
oak near him at the roadside, and he
stepped under it's sheltering branches
and leaned against the great trunk,
wiping the perspiration and dust from
his face. A moment Of stunned quiet
had succeeded the peal Of thunder. 1t
was followed by several moments of in
cessant lightning that played along
the road and the fields. From that in
tolerable brightness he turned his head
and saw, standing against the fence,
five feet away, man, leaning over the
top rail and looking at him.
The same flash swept brilliantly be-
fore Helen's eyes as she crouched
against the back steps of the brick
house. 1t revealed a picture like
marine of big waves, the tossing tops
of the orchard trees, for in that second
the full fury of the storm was loosed,
wind and rain and hail. 1t drove her
against the kitchen door with cruel
force. The latch lifted, the door blew
open violently, and she struggled to
close it in vain. The house seemed to
rock. A candle fickered toward her

IN JUNE AND JULY.
National Guard Dates About Same as
Last Year.

Lake City, Mimi, April 6. Discussion
of the trip to st. Louis has practically
been dropped by members of the Ma
tional Guard, as body, and the annual
encampment is being looked forward to-.
General Libbey says the dates will prob
ably be about the same as last year
one regiment in June and the others in
July. The artillery will in all prob
ability arrive at the same time as the
Second regiment, Immediately after the
Fourth of July, and each will remain
ten days.
Captain o. NJ. Nordly, state military
storekeeper, has received in the recent
shipment of stores from Washington, p
100 hat cords for the enlisted men of the
National Guard. These have never been
issued by the state heretofore. They
are of light blue for the infantry and red
for the artillery. If lost they will have
to be paid for by the men.
General Libbey has made ruling that
in the future the cap ornaments (cross
guns will be paid for when lost. This
will have tendency to deprive the
young ladies of many of their. military
ornaments.

yet almost unconscious OF it, keeping
westward on his way to nowhere.
West or east, north or south, it was all
one to him. The few heavy drops that
fell boiling into the dust ceased to
come; the rain withheld while the wind
kings rode on earth. On he went in
spite Of them. On and on, running
blindly when he could run at all. At
least the wind kings were company.
He had been so long alone. There was
no one who belonged to him or to whom
he belonged. For a day his dreams
had found in girls eyes the precious

There was a startling answer--a
lance Of fire hurled from the sky, irving
the fields before his eyes, while crash

Good roads lead to good morals. If
man ride over an improved highway he
does not feel like using profanity. Those
who do survive the perils of a journey
over poor road, however, acquire the
habit of profanity, which is not con-
ducive to morals of a high degree. This
is one excellent reason why all roads
should be placed in a condition beyond
criticism.

POTATOE BLIGHT.
Prof. F. L. Washburn Has Something
to Say on Subject.
From Wednesda We Do;Iv

IAoAA "Conccudy Daly.
Prof. Z. L. Washburn of the State
Experiment Station, has requested The
Free Press to publish the following:
"ln travelling over the state the lat
ter part of last summer / was struck
by the prevalence of blight in potato
vines in many sections. Since then
many complaints have reached us re-
garding this trouble. The following
treatment with Bordeaux mixture has,
in New York state, given excellent re-
suits, and knowledge Of the method
should be in the hands of every farmer
in our state, who raises potatoes.
"Spray the vines with Bordeaux mix
ture first when plants are six or sew
en- inches high. Two weeks later give
with two later sprays, making four in
all, allowing two weeks to intervene be-
tween applications. The necessary
strength of Bordeaux mixture for this
purpose is made as follows:
"Place six pounds of copper sulphate
(blue stone) in burlap sack, and hang
it in sufficient water to dissolve it in any
vessel which is not made OF iron. Shake
four pounds of fresh lime gradually.
When slaked add twenty-five gallons of
water, and the water containing the dis
solved blue stone. Stir thoroughly and
add twenty five gallons more water (fif-
/ ty gallons in ally. This mixture should
be strained through burlap before being
used, to remove particles which might
clog the sprayer. To kill potato beetles
or "bugs" at the same time add one
pound Paris green to the amount OF
mixture necessary to cover one acre.
Each plant must be thoroughly covered.
To be successful the spray should be
used before the blight starts. This pro-
cess costs about 81 per acre, and each
farmer must decide for himself whether
the expense is justified"
