This was putting Donald ON honor not
to renew hostiiities without due warn

command.

And Donald's rather short legs found
much difficulty in keeping pace with
the longer ones OF Mr.. Douglass. In
fact, Mr. Douglass reached the house
good five minutes before Donald
came up, putting and blowing. He
could not understand why his cousin
should be standing there In the door
way with her head on Mr.. Douglass
shoulder and crying at the same time.
He pushed forward fiercely.

Miss Lettice, smiling most happily
through a mist of tears. Donald went
forward more slowly, confronting
something now which he did not pre-
tend to understand.

Douglass,
1t was not to be expected that Don

arrived at an understanding Of woman
nature sufficient to comprehend that
Miss Lettice had rejected Mr.. Doug

The Porto Rican Delegate.
Federico Degetau, the Porto Rican
commissioner, who holds place in
congress similar to that of delegate
from a territory, has remained in
Washington ever since congress adj
jonned and has been very busy man.
The commissioner has great deal of
work around the departments. One Of

ing places for constituents he was
equal to Senator Penrose of Pennsyl'
vania and that if he continued as a
commissioner few years more he
would be as good as Senator Proctor of
Vermont.

Curfne clover Hay.

Last year / went into a five acre
field of clover just about the time it
was In full bloom and cut It down, says
West Virginia farmer In National

started, and what had been cut before
noon was raked up and put In shock.
The evenings cutting was put up the
next day The hay did not look as If
1t was more than half cured, but as
soon as could put 1t all in the NOW.
The hay heated considerably In the
now, and felt little uncertain as to
bow it would look when opened up,
but when fed it out during the win
ter / found that only where 1t got air
was there any damage done. Nearly
all of the hay was in good condition.

Worms In lambs.

The greatest loss Of lambs is due to
tape, stomach and lung worms and as
these parasites are always most nu-
merous in old pastures the proper plan
is to frequently change pastures, says
Wool Markets and Sheep. When at
tackled there are numerous remedies,
but one Of the simplest and best is two
teaspoonfuls of gasoline in four ounces
of sweet milk used as drench twice
about ten days apart. Care must be
taken to avoid strangling, and good
way Is to use in bottle with lamb
nipple.
