Loubet's First Love,

An affecting incident was the recent
visit Of President Loubet to his mother
at Montelimar. The mother Of the
French President is humble market
woman in The little village. and de-
spite her sons endeavors refused to
leave the place where she was born
and has lived for three-quarters of a
century. Her son awaited her in. the
market place as she drove up In her
little cart loaded with vegetables. As
sisting his mother to alight, President
Loubet gave her his arm and escorted
her to her accustomed seat. Then plac-
ing over her large umbrella to shield
her from the threatened weather, he
sat by her side and mother and son en-
joyed a long talk together.
We can learn more of President Lon.
bets true character from this little In
cident than from volumes of biogra-
ply that might be written. No man
worthy the name of man ever forgets
his mother. She is his first love. and
to her he remains true throughout the
year. Married or single, old or young,
he is still her child. NJ. Loubet is one
of the most popular men who ever
occupied the Presidential chair. The
people feel that he Is one of them;
that he can enter with sympathy into
their life; that he Is man after their
own kind. The incident which we
have just related will bind NJ. Loubet
more closely than ever to his loyal
people.-Housekeepe

a LIVING FROM A TOWN LOT.
Total Receipts From Three-ouarters
OF an Acre Were $1,000.

VI &u HSTG WSTS SIytOVs
In small western town, some
years ago, there lived man who
thought tlsat horticulture could be
made profitable on a small amount
of ground. This mans capital was
limited. The total area of land at his
disposal was a little less than one
acre. He had energy and ambition
and a desire to make his efforts sue
cessful. The man selected as his two
main crops Strawberries and celery.
One-fourth Of an acre was devoted to
Strawberries, one-fourth of an acre to,
celery, and one-fourth Of an acre to
miscellaneous garden vegetables, to
be sold In the town. The problem
was to handle these crops as to secure
the very highest returns for the out
lay involved. No other help than that
OF the man himself was needed. The
soil was ordinary, but was made rich
by the application of stable manure.
The man developed a system which
involved shifting of crops each
year. This. he gathered from what he
could read, was necessary, first to
avoid diseases and insects, and, sec.
ond, to rest the land. Eight thousand
strawberry plants were put out on
ont-quarter of the acre, the plants all
being grown in small lots so that they
could be planted in the latter part
of June, leaving his ground free up
to that time for his miscellaneous
vegetable crops.
The Strawberries planted in June
gave him full harvest the following
May and June. and from these plants
the average yield amounted to $500
for his one-quarter of an acre. His
celery he planted in the latter part
of July on the ground that his straw.
berries had occupied. This celery
was taken of in October, and the
ground was therefore free the next
spring for his vegetable crops. His
one-fourth of an acre of celery han.
died in this way. gave him $500 aver.
age yield. His miscellaneous vege-
tables. grown in rotation, such as
green peas, green beans, beets, let
tuce, and crops of this nature, gave
him $500 more. making his receipts
from his three-quarters of an acre
$1,400. of which approximately $500
was expended for fertilizers, neces.
sary help. etc.-World's Work.

In Japanese affairs today, however
patent may be the effects of the in

progress of Japan in the past. One
difficulty. and not the least, arises
from the fact that, in Japan, there is
no exploitation or advertisement of
the Soverign's personality along the
lines which the modern newspaper
has made familiar even in the most
conservative communities.

To sagacity of this high order is

Some of the Things Which Prince of

Having great reputation as ball
player is not all fun, said close
friend of the only Wagner. mo one
knows what lot of worry big game
entails. For instance, after the games
Mt Allegheny, Wagner makes it point
always to go directly home. He rides
on the street car from the ball park to
Pittsburg. On the car are probably
dozen men who know Honus by sight.
They all think they must ask him the
score, although every one of them was
at the game himself. One man is seat
ed right behind Wagner. He leans
over the sent and says: What was
the score to-day?' Wagner answers
him courteously, and then the man
says: I wasn't certain about it. l
was at the game, but was SO deeply
interested in what you were doing that

great hit you made
Now, Wagner is not a man who
likes to be praised and Landed to the
skies. He knows his ability, but he is
not boastful, nor can any one accuse
him of being proud. He is plain fell
low who attends strictly to his own
business, and does not care rap
about popularity. But he must make
some reply, and he usually says Yes
in half whisper.

Wagner is man accompanied by his
son. and he takes great delight in
pointing out the big Dutchman to the
little fellow. The kid thinks it great
to see Honus, and he yells out: Gee!
Is that Wagner? Honus can't blush,
but he has to go through enough to
make mans hair white. People stop
and stare at him as he gets or the car,
and others remark about him as he
keeps on his way up the street to the
railroad station.

Brooke when she decided to buy
u back the ramshackle old family
homestead with the few hundred dol
lars that had been left to her by a
distant relative. But there We're her
brothers wife and children to provide
a home for, and when Amaranth made
up her mind she cared very little
whether people approved Of her plans
or not.
She did care, however, what Sylves-
ter smalley would think Of the matter,
for since she was engaged to him 1t
would be only right to tell him what
she meant to do.
Amaranth had been looking over her
prospective purchase and was on her
way home, when he overlook her and
at once preached the subject.

her. "You can't raise crop there, an

where scarlet-towered trumpet-vine
showered its gorgeous trophies at their
feet.
"Say yes." urged Sylvester.
i Amaranth felt her determination

she declared Indignantly.
After few more words their troth
was broken. Sylvester stalked modify
on his way, while Amaranth, with a
pang Of sore disappointment at her
heart, turned toward the gray stone
farmhouse, where she earned small
stipend over her board by doing the
Homework for family Of six.
The broken engagement offered
fresh food for gossip among the
Brooke and stubblefield kith and kin.
but Amaranth was not to be turned
from her course by their outspoken
censures and criticisms.
The old homestead was bought and
paid for. To be sure the soil was
rocky and sterile. and the dwelling in
need Of repairs.
The orchard trees-what were left
of them-were gnarled and bent, and
the fences and outbuildings in a sad
state Of dilapidation.
1t was really scarcely worth the
small sum asked for 1t. but Amaranth
had determined to buy 1t, and buy 1t
