Two Missouri Towns.

When the presidential struggle be-
tween Clay and Jackson was at its
height it is related that band of emf
grants from Kentucky and the then
other Western States commenced to
settle on the north side of the Missouri
River and called their county Clay
and the county seat Liberty.
At the same time another lot of emf
grants from Virginia and ether South
ern States pitched their tents on the
south side of the Big Muddy and
called their county Jackson and the
capital independence. And so it re-
mains to this day. Clay stood for lib
erty and Jackson for independence

dressed very plainly but neatly, and
carried her left arm in strip OF white
silk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers focked ABOUT her and were
profuse with congratulations.
Excuse me, there is Sankala, oul
brave little heroine!' said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushed to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ar-
proach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full of praise for the glrl.
inquired about her wounded ann and
was very attentive.
"May have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Lapham''
said the captain turning to sankala' 8
escort after making the request of her.
"Dan doesn't waltz" replied Sam
kala.
"Then may 1 have this one-I will
be careful with the arm?' said the
captain for the music was just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
Certainly" replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
Budlong escorted Sankala to a seat
near Hazel Seadoe. Sankala spoke to
Hazel but the latter took no notice of
her. Captain Budlong saw it but
thought Hazel did not hear Sankala
speak.
81 have just had nice dance with
our little heroine" remaIked the cap
tain. ''Don you think she is pretty
and good?"
"She is only one of our employees
and I do not recognize her as social
equal" replied Hazel with all the Sea-
dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyes.
Captain Budlong locked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion OF the
room. Dan 'Lapham was engaging a
number of fishermen at another por-
ton of the house by telling them of
the result of the peace commission 8
labors.
The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
a messenger rushed in, almost out of
breath, and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house of Seadog," said the
bearer of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

"The average state militiaman is no

The clash finally came. The boats
came togethe, like go many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the
calm waters. The boats surged back
and forth like living animals. The
grim dark forms of the fishermen
writhed and contested with each other
like serpents of the sea.

troyers of the fish," shouted he north

piled the men from the southside,
with bitter oaths.
The resistance on the part of the
northsiders was short lived. The over
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. BY sheer force they
we've driven toward their traps. The
prows OF the southsiders' boats were
against theirs, and they were swept
along like driftwood before a huge
raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point.
But suddenly volley of shots rang out
down the river. Another followed.
The curses of the fishermen rose above
these.
"The soldiers!?' shouted the north
siders.
Course upon tie head of Gabe

Then the steamer carrying the
militia appeared dividing the contest

1t was Dan Lapham. He had been

Three Acres and a Cow.

The term three acres and COW"
which was at one time quite prominent
in English farm discussions, was or
iginally suggested as a remedy for the
lack Of employment among mechan-
les and laborers. The idea was that
if each workman could secure posses
sion of small place, he would be-
come, in a measure, independent dur
ing period of hard times. The actual
suggestion was three and One-quarter
acres, the one-fourth acre to be de-
voted to an orchard in which the cow
could Craze occasionally. The rest Of
the land he desired to devote as fol-
lows: Potatoes, one-half acre; turnips,
one-fourth acre; winter vetch, one-half
acre; spring vetch, onefourth acre;
barley, wheat or oats, three-fourths
acre; clover and grass, three-fourths
acre. He estimated that the product
Of this land would be worth about 500,
and would keep the occnpier above ac-
tual want.

give the birds a lot Of warm milk In

The next night feed them a warm

way to use the sour milk or milk that
Is too thick to feed alone. Another
time cook lot of small potatoes, chop
them fine and mix with the sour milk,
then feed. warm-creamed potatoes in
a way. One has no idea how laying
hens enjoy such variety and what a
decided difference it makes in the egg
production.
