FAT RETURNS FROM DIME.

New Orleans Travelling Man Says Lit
 tie Coin Yielded Him all of $2,750.
 "You often hear of men running up a small sum of money into good big bank roll, but did something once in all records when the amount original ly invested is considered" said B. w. Gaylor of New Orleans to Washing ton Post reporter.
 T was waiting in Omaha for re- mittance from my firm, and, having no coin about me was feeling in that lonesome state that the moneyless man alone can appreciate. To kill time walked into a gambling house. having not the remotest idea of doing aught save watching the players. As stood in the vicinity of the roulette wheel mechanically thrust my hand into a pocket of my vest and extract ed lone dime that I did not know was on my person. actually felt ashamed to pIIt 1t on anything, but something whispered it might win, and sure enough, when the coin stop ped my coin had Won- Again won, and again until that ten-cent piece brought me in nine dollars.

My luck followed me here, likewise, and ran up my stake to $S5 in less than thirty minutes. Consid- ering what big return this was, be- gan to feel a chilly sensation at my pedal extremities and as it was near the dinner hour, made this an excuse for quitting.
 After dinner the desire to press my luck was to great to be resisted, and being near a hundred strong, went back to the sporting ablisament and took my seat at the draw poker game where the buyout was $50, table stakes. It's no use to weary you with the details of my play, but from the very jump the fortune that had been with me earlier in the day stuck. held the most marvellous series of hot hands ever known, strafghts, flushes and fulls without end and several sets of fours, and on nearly all of them got good plays.
 ITO cut it short, when left the game in the small hours of the morn ing I cashed in $2,75O, and got the money on the spot, the house man re- marking that if this was my usual style he would like to engage me at any salary to play for him."

If Henry Dissell imaglnes for a moment that his withdrawal from the r-r-~

An Old Fa Oorife
IAN. WAS MADE TO MOURN
By Robert Burns

.-AHEN chill November's surly W Made fields and forests bare, HVVH One evening as I wandered umy forth,
 Along the banks of Ayr I spied man, whose aged step
 Seemed weary, worn with care; His face was furrowed OCT with years And hoary was his hair. "Young stranger, whither wanderest
 thoug'
 Began the reverend sage; "Does thirst of wealth thy step con
 strain,
 Or youthful pleasure's rage? Or haply, pressed with cares ana woes Too soon thou hast began, To wander forth, with me, to mourn
 The miseries of man! ssThe sun that overhangs yon moors.
 Outspreading far and wide, Where hundreds labor to support
 A naughty lordlings pride; I've seen yon weary winter sun
 Twice forty times return; And every time has added proofs
 That man was made to mourn, 70 mani while in thy early years,
 How prodigal of time Misspending all thy precious hours,
 Thy glorious youthful prime! Alternate foilies take the sway, Licentious passions burn; Which tenfold force gives Natures law That man was made to mourn. ], Look not alone on youthful prime. Or manhoods active might; Man then is us1ful to his kind, { Supported is his right: But see him on the edge of life,, With cares and sorrows worn, Them age and want-oh! ill-matche pairl-- Show man was made to mourn.

SUBSTITUTES FOR TEA
Leaves Found In the American Wood
that Have Served Well.

Leaves Found in the American Woods
that Have Served Well.
Many substitutes for tea can be
found In any ordinary woods, says the
Washington Star. The idea Is not a
new one, for many country folks made
use Of the substitutes In the days
when the luxury Of Chinese tea was
not SO easily afforded as now. Before
the Revolution, when the coloniSts
were in a turmoil over the stamp
taxes, it was considered unpatriOtIc
to drink tea that had paid tribute to
the government, and the so-called lib
erty tea was the popular drink.
The four-leaved loose strife was,
no doubt, the herb from which this
beverage was made, possibly with the
aid of various other herbs. This plant
grows a foot or two high and may be
recognized by its simple, upright
stem, upon which the leaves are set
in whorls Of four or i've, the yellow
starllke flowers being produced on
long. slender stocks from near the
base of the leaves. 1t is common to
almost every woodland. The leaves

Good Summer Hog Pen,

Where swine are to be kept In a
somewhat small enclosure and fed in
the house it Is not always easy to keep
the floor Of the house clean. The plan
here suggested will accomplish this
and give the hogs something to keep
them busy besides. The hoghouse is
built with a slanting floor and in the
end at the high part is cut a trough
the entire width of the house, into
which is thrown leaf mold or broken
sod. This the swine will root down
and it will act as an absorbent of the
manure. particularly the liquid por-
tons. If the floor Is made quite slant
ing most Of this sod, etc., will be root
ed down to the lower end by the hogs.
While the artist has not shown the
floor slanting as it should be, in the H.
lustrahon, otherwise the cut will show
just how the pen should be built. In

Witch Grasa.

This Is a terrible weed to eradicate
either from the field or the garden. It
spreads by means Of underground
stems, called root-stocks. These run
along below the reach of the moving
machine, or of grazing animals, and
often too deep to be disturbed by sur
race cultivation. They produce buds
at their numerous scaly nodes, and
these buds develop into new plants in
exactly the same manner as branches
are produced above ground. The root
stocks Of couch grass will sometimes
grow to a length Of ten to fifteen feet
In one season, furnishing this weed
with means Of rapid distribution and
propagation, a character making It
most pernicious in cultivated land. The
only way entirely to get rid Of it is by
forking the ground over carefully, and
picking 1t out piece by piece. Even
the smallest bit left in the ground will
start into groWth.-American Cultiva-
tor.

Exhibiting Crops,

ANY farmer who will religiously fol-
low his county fairs from year to year
will observe the opportunities there to
make reputation If he can grow one
particular crop better than another.
AS every one knows, one soil worker
is an expert potato grower. another
raises prize swine, another understands
corn better than other crops, and so
on.
Let each one take q specimen Of
that which he can grow best to the
county fair and exhibit, advises the
Indianapolis News. Possibly he may
not win q prize, but he will have a
chance to see what others are doing
and thus ascertain his own shortcom-
1ngs. Again, his exhibit may attract
the attention of some one who wants
Just the product he produces and a
profitable business Is worked up.
The educational advantages Of the
county fair ought not to be overlooked
and the family should be taken to
every one that can be reached at a
moderate cost. Get out into the world
and see what other farmers are doing;
one will find them willing to talk and
one may get enough good ideas at a
single fair to pay for the expense OF
attendance twenty times over. Bear
this item in mind as the fairs begin
now and in September.
