dearest of friends until l know that

When she turned her eyes to the
water again the man saw that a tear
cleaned upon her cheek.
A potent silence fell between them.
The dusk fell softly and the peace of
the Sabbath night descended like
benediction. They could hear, with
softened distinctness, the merry
voices and happy laughter of children
enjoying the cool of the waterside, the
air was so dry and clear-and hear
the barking of faithful watchdogs in
dooryards near and far. Bright lights
started into twinkling life on either
shore. The incense from fields of
growing grain floated to them across
the water. The chug, chug of the
paddle wheels, the insistent tinkle OF
the pilot bell AID the asthmatic
wheeze from the exhaust pipes were
about the only sounds on board that
as the boat throbbed on.
The woman was weeping softly
now. The man leaned toward her.
"Millie," he said. pityingly, "give up
this-this memory. If he is not dead,
he is-he wishes to forget YOU" His
voice caught some of the subtle spell
of the night. Come, little one, let
me lead you into happiness?"
She controlled herself with an eff
fort
II cannot cannot" she sobbed.
Leave me, please. I cannot bear to
listen to you-now!'
He regarded her compassionatelv
for a moment, then walked away with
bowed head.
The big, bearded man came to her
out of the shadows near the port rail.
and laid his hand tenderly upon her
bowed head.
"Millie," he said, and his voice was
vibrant with happiness, look up
Like startled, wondering child she
obeyed, and then
The other man, returning, saw and
heard, and turned away with the gray
shadow of despair in his eyes.

The Wandering Tree PeddIer.

The Ohio Experiment station has
sent out a warning against a man
that is travelling in parts of Ohio SELL
ing trees on the claim that the nur.
sery he represents is in a way con-
nected with the Ohio Experiment sta
ton. This man claims to represent
the forestry department of the station
named, but finally gets down to bust
ness and says that he also represents
a nursery in Greenville, Ind. He Of
fers to sell catalpa and black locust
trees at $40 a. thousand. He asserts
that his nursery produces all the
trees that the experiment station
sends out. He asserts further that the
Ohio Experiment station has con-
tract to pay for 200 out Of every 1000
trees his firm sells in Ohio. The Ohio
station says that any man making
such claims is a fraud and. should be
arrested under the law prohibiting men
from getting money under false pre-
lenses. Our readers in Ohio and In
diana will do well to be on the out
look for him.

Cleanliness and Health,

In the summer time the poultry
keeper is. not called upon to do much
cleaning in the poultry house. as, for
the most part Of the season, the fowls
have the run of the farm. In the win

1t is very natural to think that the
cold weather will freeze. the drop
pings as fast as they, accumulate, and
tnat, II they do pile up under the
roosts, it will make little difference.
Inc truth is that in much of the
north there are very many days in
"1nter when the temperature is
ABOVE the freezing point and some
tlmes 1t is as high as fifty and sixty
uesrees. A warm night in winter is
very trying on the fowls, when the
dropp1ngs have been permitted to &C.
cumulate for a month, as is the case
IN numerous instances.
The writer has sometimes put his
mead into poultry house in winter
wnere the ammonia was so thick
that 1t was wonder the fowls could
live in it. If it is bad for the owner
TO stay for five minutes in such a
place, what must be the experience
OF the hens compelled to stay all
night in it! The farmer is unable to
hgure out any loss, nor can anyone
else. 1t comes in weakened consti-
tuition; and some day when some
fowl is found dead under the roost
1t Will be indirectly due to the sap
ping OF the constitution by the am
moniacal gases.
IN every walk of life cleanliness
and health are associated. The sup
plying OF oxygen to the blood through
the lungs is as necessary with fowls
as with humans.

Trees and Real Estate,

Why does not the absent owner of a
farm plant a few trees on that farm
every year to improve his property {?
The city owner of real estate has long
ago found out that it pays to plant
trees and so in the great tracts Of
land laid out into streets in the vi
cinity of the great cities we see all
kinds of trees planted and cared for
On all sides Of Chicago this is to be
seen. The trees have been potent
factors in drawing people to the SUBJ
urbs to live. No one cares to go to a.
section where houses stand upon the
open plain. But if there are thrifty
trees it is different. The same ten
dency is as true of the farm as of the
town residence.

"A woman boarded his car at tho

Condolences were offered and the

He Couldn't Help Beino Good

A well known preacher recently
spoke at religious service in a iafl.
He noticed that one Of the convicts
seemed extraordinarily impressed
After the service he sought him out
and continued the good work by re.

by my remarks just now and become
a new man."

fact, l promise you that I will never
commit another crime, but will lead

you sure that you will be able to
keep the promise?"

Money from Feed.


One man feeds hens at a cost Of
70 cents per year and another man
feeds hens at a cost of $1.00 per year
The man that saves Is cents per hen
may think that he is making money
by his economy. Very often this will
prove not to be the case. The man
That has taken the trouble to feed his
fowls on mixed ration with consid.
cradle meat and ground bone, ground
oats and variety of grains and other
forms OF heterogeneous feed is not able
to get the cost of the ration under a
dollar year.
The man that feeds his fowls at q
cost Of Is cents per year will be
found to be feeding very large
amount Of corn. Now for the results
The man that feeds the more expen,
sive ration is generally getting eggs
all through the winter and is selling
them at thirty-6ve or forty cents a
dozen. The other man is getting no
eggs Till the winter begins to melt
into spring and then has. to sell them
at Is and 20 cents per dozen. The
man that feeds the more expensive
ration makes money, and the other
man does not.
1t is not question of which "a.
ton is cheaper. The real question
is how to make the feed fed pay for
its cost and a margin of difference,
which we call profit. The hen is but
machine to take the feed we raise
or buy and change it into a product
that is worth more than the raw
product.

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Toward tho

A great deal depends on the point OF
| view. A good temperance woman was
| led, in very peculiar way, to revise
| her somewhat harsh judgment OF the
| poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:
For many years I was great suf-

specialists told me must give up
the use of coffee-the main thing that
always thought gave me some relief
I consulted our family physician, and
he, being a coffee fend himself, told
me to pay no attention to their ad-
vice. Coffee had such charm for me
that in passing restaurant and get
ting Whit of the fragrance I could
not resist a cup. l felt very lenient
toward the drunkard who could not
pass the saloon. Friends often urged
me to try Postum, but turned deaf
ear, saying, That may do for people to
whom coffee is harmful, but not for

"At last, however, bought a pack

could not drink it. I prepared it as
directed and served it for breakfast.
Well, bitter as I was against it,
must say that never before had I
tasted more delicious Cup of coffee!
Fro mthat day to this (more than two
years. l have never had desire for
the old coffee. My health soon re-
turned; the asthma disappeared, be-

I gained 20 pounds in weight.

stayed for dinner. When passed him
his coffee cup he remarked: I am, glad
to see you were sensible enough not
to let yourself be persuaded that coffee
was harmful. This is the best Gun of
coffee ever drank he continued:
the trouble is SO few people know how
to make good coffee When he
got his second cup told him he was

St. Bernard Dog sprang Into ManhoIe
to Rescue Child. Y 's@s'. Il
Ralph johnson, son of a New
Orleans street pedler,2 had the honor
OF being saved by st. Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger.
The story is, told BY the Bay City
Times.
At Valence street and St. Charles
avenue sewerage is being construct
ed. When the workmen quit the well
for the day the manhole was left
open. Mrs. Johnson, with her boy,
3 years old and wearing a dress,
were in the vicinity, the mother try
ing to sell laces.
While the mother had gone to a
house in the block the child remained
on the sidewalk for while, and then
walked to the manhole and peered
into it. Accidentally he fell in. The
child screamed loudly for help, but
being about six feet under the ground,
no one heard the cries.
Just at this time an old milkman
passed. With him was great St.
Bernard dog. The dog heard the
cries 'of the child, and for a second
could not locate them. The child
cried again, and this time the dog
plunged into the we'll and seized the
child's clothing in it's mouth.
The dog held the little boy above
the water until both dog and child
were hoisted out of the manhole by
passersby. The dog then trotted
along after the old milkman as though
saving a child's life were an every.
day occurrence.

The figures that I have presented
showing the rapid decreases in the

my assertion. The repeal : of the

timber and stone act, and a fixed
policy on the part of the government

RI. PRESIDENTIAL vote.

Some Of the Democratic papers arc
endeavoring to discount the popularity
Of President Roosevelt, as shown in
the recent election, by the fact that
there was gain Of only about 5 per
cent In the Republican vote. Az this
rate Of gain is little less than normal
and has been largely exceeded In sew
eral other elections, the point is made
that the president is therefore not
more than normally strong with the
people. This is not sound reasoning.
The small Democratic vote must be
accounted for largely because Of the
unpopularity Of Parker and the Demo-
cratic position, but also in some meas
ure by the Indifference created by the
conviction that that there was no pos
sibility of Democratic victory. On
the other hand, the conviction that
President Roosevelt was. sure Of cleo
ton excused many who were in sympa-
thy with him and his policies from go
ing to the polls.-Kansas City Star.
