''Time," remarked Mrs. A. Grid
Tongue to her husband, "certainly is
a great ]eveler, isn't it?'
"Uh-huh," replied her husband, who
was trying to set line on the batting
averages in the newspaper.
"Only to-day when l met you on the
street l fell to thinking what great
leveler time is" pursued Mrs. A. Grid
Tongue in reflective sort of tone.
Nov when we were engaged, and per-
haps for all of year after We were
married, when you met me on the
street you would raise your hat to me
just for all the world as if had been
only some female acquaintance with
whom you were DESTROYS of making a
hit. And now, when you met me on
the street you grunt Hello and keep
your hat just as level on your head as
can lie. Oh, there's no use talking at
all, time certainly is great leveler."

Condition of ForeiQn Crops.

NOUuItOO o. TOFctQ1 NTopSs
According to reports received by the
Department of Agriculture relative to
the conditioned European crops July
1st, in Russia the cereal crop prospects
have considerably improved even in
regions where conditions at the be-
ginning of spring were unfavorable. In
Germany there has been great i'm
provement in all the winter cereals,
particularly rye. In Austria only a
good medium harvest of spring sown'
crops is to be expected. Hungary's
output will fall considerably below
that of 1902. the deficiency in the case
OF wheat being 1914 per cent. Most
of the Bulgarian crops are in good con-
di:ion. Storms and floods have serious
ly damaged crops and vineyards in
Italy. In France the winter wheat
area is estimated to be 6S1, 724 acres
less than in 1902. Wheat and other
crops made marked improvement dur
ing June and now look we'll. Reports
from Denmark are generally favorable.
Great Britain's wheat crop is late and
will hardly equal the average weld.
The total wheat crop which India har-
vested this spring has been estimated
at 290,261,1 04 bushels against 226, $40
500 in 1902. ~e..4. s.ye, ~

They were many days on their jour.
ney, stopping here and there lat will,
as, after crossing the chanenl, they
wandered slowly into the heart Of
beautiful England. But one evening,
as the sun was sinking slowly to; rest,
they were driven into the grounds OF a
superb old castle, whose lawn, on
which grew trees a century old, sloped
to the waters edge. s.g"-ll Z. @-'>a ~. "
To. Avice's amaze, the carriage
stopped before the door. - (. -
A gray-haired butler stood upon the
steps, with tears in his eyes, as he
bowed before her. The servants stood
in long line in the hall. What could
it mean? s"'a -.
Milton drew her into a little room
where, for the moment, they were
alone.
my love-" he said tenderly, you
have suffered greatly. Can you bear
good news as bravely as you have
borne all else? You thought you came
to me nameless, except for the name
your more than father gave you, and
which was rightly yours by law; but
suppose I tell you you have had a iiv-
ing father all these years, who, though
less worthy, has left you even nobler
name, would your knowledge make
you happier?"
"Only for your sake" she whispered
low. but what do you mean, Mil
TONI"
'Only that, after all our wandering,
we have reached home at last-the
home which was your father's-which
now is yours"
"And my mother, Milton?" she ques-
toned, in a low, tender tone. Tell
me of herr"
"You never knew a mother" he an
swered.
She thought he meant her mother
had died when she was child
A solemn pause followed his words;
then they rose, and, arm linked in arm,
went out to receive the glad welcome
of the old retainers of the Earl of
Bertram to the young Countess their
mistress.
The proofs Feline held he gladly
gave up, and without publicity, or the
fact of Barbara's relation ship, Avice's
rights had been secured to her.
So years passed by, until, with Flor
ence and Ayice, the past was almost
forgotten.
Travis and Florence always spend
half of every year with Milton and his
beautiful young wife. Sometimes
Travis shudders as, looking at her ex-
quisite loneliness, it so fatally recalled
another face, which to Avice as to him,
was connected with the bitterest sor-
row of his life; but Ayice, looking at
her own image in her mirror, laughed
at it's charm, because Milton called her
beautiful.
Beyond this she had no vanity until
later, when children's feet battered
through the old halls and children's
voices made it always summer in the
cid house, she saw her own fairer i'm
age in their young loneliness, and
sought no other mirror

Hog Pasture.

It is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon single crop to furnish pas
ture for our hogs throughout the en-.
tire season. 1t is better to arrange for
succession of pastures from the be-
gining of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer ard more concentrated toward
proach the finishing of fattening Pc
Rod. For this purpose the following
crops are recommended: Red clover
or alfalfa, rape, cowpeas, soy besgE.
On lands adaptrdi TO aiHfaass sf. alvill
undoubtedly prove to be better TOR
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as it
will produce a larger quantity of feed
of somewhat higher value. mas
much as we have not yet learned to
grow alfalfa successfully on the ma
jority of our upland clay soils, we
shall be forced to rely chiefly upon
clover. 1t starts earlier in the spring
than any hog pasture We have except
ing alfalfa, and would therefore be
used first, and should be used as long
as it is succulent and palatable. Usu-
ally not later than the middle of June
the crop will have become so mature
that the hogs will relish a change for
the time being, and the surplus clover
should be cut and removed, so as to
allow the second or fall crop to start
promptly.-Report Missouri State
Board of Agriculture.

Marie's Confession.

There was a sinister meaning in Ma

her face.

long years ago, when was young and

you have failed to recognize me; that

dressed, and now was rapidly disap

close pressed to her breast.
