came that on these occasions he would salute her respectfully. She would bow Co him timidly.
 One day, in place of the few flowers and green things he, like her, always brought to the cemetery, he came with great armful of splendid roses white, yellow and pink ones After he had bestowed these upon the grave he visited So regularly 1t was quite cove cred with them. The young woman eyed them hungrily, but when he Iook- ed toward her her head was turned away. He advanced and spoke to her, somewhat hesitatingiy. She turned and was surprised to see his hands filled with roses, which he held out toward her.
 .It lis my Adelaide's birthday" he said gently. "She was so good, so gem erous, when on earth that she would be pleased to. have me give you some of these for your dear one"
 She could not speak at first for her tears. Just as he was moving away, embarrassed, she said brokenly: 'sYou are very good. thank you in my Ar thurs name"
 After this, although he always salut- cd her kindly. he did not address her again for perhaps a fortnight. Then one afternoon she looked up and was surprised to nnd him standing beside her. He began to speak tD her quite naturally and without apology.
 ''The strangest thing to me is that the world goes on just as before. &I5 seem ed to me that everything mi stop when Adelaide died. Often can hard ly endure the noise and hurry of the world outside, Indeed, my world is here"
 "It is so with me-" she said simply. 'I really live only for this hour that spend beside him."
 My friends--her friends. too--seek to distract me. They tell me dwell too much upon her memory and that 1t is my duty to forget my sorrow"
 ''They only can understand who nave known such a loss themselves" she said
 aThat is why can speak to you of her." he replied, because you know.''
 He told her much about his Adelaide. They had been married two years only when she died. She had taken a chill through being ont in rain storm one day when she was visiting poor fam fly. She was all goodness and charita- bleness and had at the Inst given her life for others.
 She in turn talked to him of her Arthur, who had been her husband for q brief six months. He was never robust and had succumbed to a fever which attacked him in the summer. He was so gentle aud noble. Every one who knew him loved him.
 Thus companionship was estab- lished between them. There were days when they sat near each other with out speaking. Sometimes they. would

 Maria has . strange history. Her parents when sae was q child lived near Clinton. Ia, and were In comfortable circumstances. Her mother was a woman sf large frame, and her father was very small. In time the mother took on flesh until she weighed 500 pounds or there abouts, while the father lost flesh until he weighed less than 100 pounds. F. T.

Miss Booths headquarters will be in New York
 A most interesting personality is that of Miss Booth Tn appearance she is tall and commanding, with, 5wtat one may speak of as the Booth face, aa face that suggests spirituality, nobility, and above all courage And courage Is the dominant note In Eva Booths character
 From the first she has played a prominent part in the work of the army. very soon after entrance upon active labors displaying unusual taI- ent for the line of work in which she was to become so very successful

The most diff ficult work she volunteered for; faced mobss persecution, misunderstanding. Eventually she became the idoi of the slums, The late Consul Booth-T Tucker found her congenial and best work among cultured fok: Eva Booth with the dregs of humanity.

 She comes to us from Canada, where she has directed army work for about eight years. Previous to the Canadian labors she had charge of the Salvation Army Intern tionaI Training School in London, and of the London division, was head there of 500 commissioned oGcers. Her work in Canada was un- surpassed and the territory she cov- cred in northern America was vast one. She opened work among the miners and Indians in the Klondike, established schools in Newfoundland, colonies in Nova Scotia and the north west.
 AS one reviews. however briefly. the story Of her work one must marvel that one slender woman was able to undertake the hard and dangerous tasks assigned her: marvel that work of such magnitude should have been intrusted to her keeping; that re- suits should prove. without question, the wisdom of the choice.

 HE summer had gone. It was
 in the early days of autumn,
 and already the tenderer
 leaves, touched by the first frost, were beginning to fall softly upon the grass.
 Within cemetery, beside q freshly green grave, sat woman dressed in black. She was young and fair. Up on the grave lay a little bunch of fresh flowers. Every day for two months past she had brought howers to the grave and had sat for an hour on the bench underneath the willow tree which shaded 1t.
 As she sat thus, absorbed in her ten der memories, she never consciously raised her eyes to note who passed by. But one day she saw, quite, as 1t were, by accident, n young man standing a little distance from her, gazing at a grave she did not remember to have noticed before. He also was dressed in mourning, and his face was pale and sad. Her heart was suddenly very tender toward him, for she knew him for brother.
 After this the young man came ev- cry day at about the same hour as the young woman. Sometimes they would meet at the gate, or he would pass her on the graveled walk which led to the two graves, and in time 1t

rrn Gir4t1a nf nrd.

Howell quotes as familiar French proverb, I'll quite sa ceinture" QHe has given up his girdle), which inti- mated as much as if he had become bankrupt or had an his estate forfeit ed, 1t being the ancient law of France that when any man upon some onenso had the penalty Of conhscation infict- ed upon him ''he used before the tribu- nal to give up his girdle, implying thereby that the girdle held everything that belonged to a mans estate, as his budget of money and writings, the keys of his house, with his sword, dag ger and gloves" The fact that the gir- dle was used as a purse had much to do with it's importance in general ap- preciation. We have an English prov erb confirmatory of this appreciation. It Is said, ''Ungirt, unblest," and that it was in very common use is clear from the frequency with which the phrase occurs in old out of the way literature Journal.

What Catawba Farmers are Doing.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


As I have not noticed any letters from the
farmers of this section since I became a subscrib-
er, I will try and give the readers of your most
valuable a few ideas of what the farmers of
this section of the country are doing.
We have had a very severe winter and late
spring which has delayed crops of all kinds.
What has been damaged very much on the ac-
count of the cold and dry weather of early
spring. Apples and peaches will be almost a total
failure owing to the late frosts.
Old Catawba is not to say on a boom, but I can
say that it is crawling up very rapidly. People
are working up and are taking a greater interest
in farm work, and are buying more improved ma
chinery every year. We have the rural mail de-
livery bringing our mails to our doors every day.
One needful thing we lack in our county is the
rural telephone system, which we think we will
get in the near future.
The farmers are putting out larger crops of all
kinds, especially cotton, which is being more than
doubled over last years acreage. They are max
ing a great mistake by doing so. We have not
increased the acreage of cotton any at all. We
provisions are NEEDED on the farm, then raise what
cotton we can. Some of the farmers of this
county are putting out nothing but cotton. They
do not think about how scarce and high labor is
until time comes to cultivate the crop; then they
will see where they made their mistake. It will

Special Features of the East Tennessee Farmers
Convention Program.
Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Several special features are being arranged for
the coming meeting of the East Tennessee Farm
ers' Convention to be held in Knoxville June 1-3.
Among other things, prizes will be offered for the
best display of corn made by a farmer. The
rules governing the contest are as follows: At
least ten ears of corn must be placed on display
not later than twelve o'clock on June LIST. Each
sample must be carefully labeled with the name of
the variety and the address of the grower. Only
corn raised on East Tennessee farms will be eligi-
BILE for the contest. Tt will be judged by a COM
petent expert, who will publicly assign his reasons
for his decisions after the contest is over. 1t is
hoped that every farmer who has a good sample
of corn will bring it to the convention. Twenty
five dollars in prizes will be offered in this contest
as follows: First prize, $40; second prize, ST;
third prize, SIS; fourth prize, So.
Another feature of great educational value will
be an exhibit of various types of horses. Cash
prizes to the amount of $25 will be offered for the
best display of horses. The idea is to have these
animals exhibited on the grounds during the prog
ress of the convention, and to have a competent
expert judge them. He will make the reasons for
his decision public, and at the conclusion OF the
contest, will explain the methods of breeding that
should be pursued by Tennessee farmers in order
to supply the market with the type of horses in
demand at the present time. This should prove
to be one of the most interesting and instructive
features of the convention, and the prizes are be-
ing offered in the hope that some excellent rep
resentatives of the equine family may be placed
on exhibition. Those who contemplate exhibiting
either corn or horses should notify
