Beef Cow and Calf.

Does it pay in Illinois and neighbo-.
ing states to keep COW year for
the sole purpose of rearing a beef
calf for the general market? No. This
has been proved so often that it seems
unnecessary to go into the matter
deeply. On land worth 500 per acre
and under general methods of agri.
culture as followed in this country, the
man that does this loses money every
year. Yet there are a good many farm
ers scattered through the middle west
who make the mistake Of trying to do
this. Some of them are old fellows
that maSs money with the beef COW
and her calf half century ago when
land was worth about nothing. The
feed of the animals cost almost moth
ing and the chief investment was not
in the land and the equipment but in
the COW herself. Now all conditions
have changed.

Considerate.

Representative Kehoe Of Kentucky
tells of a considerate judge in his
state who passed a sentence on man
convicted of murder. The judge said:
"Mr Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty of murder, and the law says
you are to be hanged. 1t is my wish
that you and all your friends on the
river to know that it is not l who
condemns you; it is the jury and the
law, Mr. Dodson. At what time, sir,
would you like to be hanged?"
The prisoner made answer that it
was a matter of Indifference to him.
and that he was prepared to be swung
off at any time. The judge continued:
"Mr. Dodson, it is a serious matter
to be hanged. 1t can't happen to a
man but once in life, unless the rope
should break before the neck is broke
and you had better take all the time
you can. But since il makes no diff
ference to you, you may hang four
weeks from to-day at IL noon, but
you may have good dinner first"

A 480-ACRE FARM YIELDS
rs PER CENT PROFIT IN A YEAR.
What Mercer County (ohio) Farmer
Received from One Years Crop.

Extracts from an interesting letter
from p. II. Rynhard, OF Starbuck.
Manitoba, Canada, gives an excellent
idea of the prosperity Of those who
have gone from the United States to
Canada. He says:
II bought, August, 1903, 4SO acres
of land, paying $4,000 for 1t. We
tkreshed 1913 bushels of wheat and
between 1900 and 1900 bushels OF
oats and barley from 200 acres. But
part of the wheat went down before
filing and was not harvested except
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time, $4,000. Besides 12O
acres laying idle except a timothy
meadow, which is not included In this
estimate. Counting the value OF the
product and the increase Of value OF
land will pay me more than rs per
cent on the investment. Two broth
ers in the same neighborhood bought
go acres each six years ago. They
have not done a single thing to this
land except to fence it and break and
cultivate about one-half of it. Har-
vested last year % bushels wheat per
acre. This year 27 bushels per acre.
They can get any day $25 per acre.
These are only few Of many hun
dreds of such chances. 1t looks like
boasting, but truth is justifiable and

ly the home-seeker. l know Of quite

"pou TrotU a Misnomer.

Dogs have a variety of gaits," said
the boss of the kennels, therefore l
can't understand why it is that peo-
pie who describe a certain style of
locomotion always call it dog trot.
Judging by the universally of that
expression, body would think that
a dog never moves any other way
than on a trot. But he does. All the
gaits belonging to other four-footed
animals are also his. He runs, he
lopes, he even racks and PAGES, so
when a person in a hurry falls into
peculiar kind of canter, there would
be just as much sense in speaking
OF his gait as a dog run or dog gal
lop, once in a while, as always to call
it a dog trot."

Nato, Juniper and Scipio had fled
from the stockade to the thicker

the island; but they became separated
and the boy had seen nothing more
of his companions.

He then started up the bluff, the

up the rear.
Inside the stockade were many
signs of fearful hand-to-hand fight.
The house of the Lafittes was unharm-
ed, although there were indications of
its having been set on fire; but the
flames appeared to have died out of
themselves.
There was nothing more to be done
at Barataria. All the men, save Bap-
tistine and his crew, appeared to have
been killed or captured; the buildings
were burned or despoiled; the vessels
taken. LATTE, therefore, putting
aside as best he could all emotion
and anxiety, gathered what was left
of his portable property, and, with
Baptistine and his crew, together
with Nato, Juniper, Scipio (the latter
two having, late in the day, come
from their hiding place in the woods)
took his way to Shell Island.
The older negroes could tell him
little more than Nato had already re.
lated. Neither could they give him
any information bearing upon Pierre S
fate. There was left only the hope
that he had escaped to Shell Island
where he might be found, alive al
least, IL not unhurt.

CHAPTER XIV.

Lafitte, after the departure of Gen.
La Roche, permitted himself the sol
ace OF tarrying an hour or so longer,
although he exchanged scarcely half
dozen words with Mademoiselle de
Cazeneau, as they, with Lazalie and
Harold Stewart, sat on the broad ver-
anda.
He was unaccountably anxious and
depressed there seemed to be some
thing in the air about him that set
his nerves aquiver, and filed him with
strange feelings.
1t was after three o'clock when,
with a reluctance of which his manner
gave no hint, LATTE rose and signi-
fed that he must be going
"Will you not come again soon. "
asked Lazalie, a new usefulness
showing in her face and voice, as he
extended his hand to her.
Lafitte's only reply was a smile;
and turning to say adieu to Mademoi-
selle de Cazeneau, he saw that she
had left the veranda, and was stand
ing on the lawn, some little distance
from the house.
She was looking off toward the
woods, and said, as LATTE paused be-
side her, There is the man from
whom grandpere rented Kanauhana,
sitting under a tree with his gun"
"He expects to see me before I go,
and is waiting for the opportunity"
LATTE explained, his voice softening
as it always did when addressing her.
The violet eyes and the dark ones
looked into each other; then a shape
ly brown hand possessed itself gent
ly of small white one.
'"Oh, Captain Jean, l am so sorry
so very sorry! Will you not say that
you forgive me?"
She spoke impulsvely, in half
whisper, and the other small hand
was now laid over the back of the
brown one.
Her look and words. the faint pres
sure of her fingers, sent a wild joy
through his veins.

the islands shore the smoke against
the southwest sky showed more dense,
and Baptistine, pointing to it, said,
THAT smoke looks to be not innocent

LATTE was about to reply, when
the boat came abreast of an opening
in the trees, through which some OF
the buildings were seen to be on fire.
A chorus of EXPLANATIONS and exc
crations broke from Baptistine and
the crew, and one of the latter cried
out, "This is the work of those cursed
English"
LATTE raised his hand to command
silence.
"Yonder vessels did it, rather than
the English" he said, in voice husky
with rage, as he pointed to the dis
appearing fleet.
"And they are flying the United
States fag!" shouted another of the
crew, who had taken the spyglass
lying near him and was looking
through it.
"Shall we venture to land, my cap
tain?" ventured Baptistine.
Draw closer" said Lafitte, turning
to the crew, who were staring with
fury-filled eyes at the seemingly de-
serted island. Draw closer, and
will signal. But be in readiness to
turn about, in case l wish to head
for Shell Island"
He waited until the boat was nearer
the shore, and then, arching hand
over his lips, sent water-bird's shrill
call ringing out twice over the water.

lar call came from the island, follow

MISS BULL RECEIVERS
FEARFUL DECLINE OF STRENGTH
COMPLETELY ARRESTED.
Medical Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itself
in Vain Attempts to Relieve Her-A
Remarkable Result.


Remarkable Result.
The recovery Of Miss Gertrude L. Bull
is of great interest to the medical world.
A very bad cough followed a severe at
tack of pneumonia. 1t seemed impossi-
BILE to break it mp or to restore her
strength, which had been sadly under
mined. IN spite of the best efforts of
the doctors and the use of several adver-
tised modes Of treatment her condition
daily grew more serious. She finally
discontinued all medicine and gave her
self up to despair.
"What was your condition at this
time?" she was asked.
"My stomach wastso weak could not
keep food down. l suffered from con-
slant nausea. My kidneys were in ter
rible condition. My feet and ankles were
swollen so badly that it panied me even
to stand OH them. 1 was very bilious.
My heart was in bad shape so could
not go up and down stairs or stand any
exertion or sleep i'll a natural position.
cit seems wonder that you should
ever have recovered. How did it
happen?"
"You may well call it marvel, but
DR.. Williams Pink Pills wrought it.
None of my friends thought could live
many months longer. My parents had
no hope. Just then n pamphlet aayer
sising DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People was thrown in our door. 1t was
a great event for me. These pills saved
me from the grave. Within week from
the time began to take them felt bet
ter, and in three months / was entirely
well. I cannot praise DIR. Williams

that my experience may bring good to

words. Only there can never be any
forgiveness between us, save as you
may give me Heaven, by forgiving
me. Try and trust me, child. Try
and believe that am not the monster
you have thought me. Do this, and
you can save me from what has been
an earthly hell"
She looked startled, but the glad
light showing in her eyes was assur'
ance that she was not offended by his
passionate pleading.
"Adieu, now" he whispered, bend
ing so close that his breath stirred
the bright hair ripping over her fore
head. "Adieu, and Gods angels keep
you. | hope to see you soon again"
He was gone, but her hands still
tingled from his close touch and his
low, tense voice still thrilled her ears.
With a joyously beating heart that
made her inclined to weep as well
as sing, the girl assembled with fleet
steps to the veranda and fed to her
room, locked the door and threw her
self upon the bed.
She was laughing but with tears
crowding to her throat, and trying to
get into her eyes, where, for appear
arce's sake. she did not care to have
them show.
She did not ask herself why it was,
what it meant, or what it might mean,
To her life. She knew only half
delirious JOY, such as never before
had come TO her.
All. how Gas she now admitted to
herself) she had missed him out OF
her life-her brave, handsome Cap
tain Jean! How she had missed his
chivalrous, protecting friendship-the
latent strength and decision showing
in all he did and said! How she had
missed the gentleness and reverence
with which he always addressed her
the kindly deeds he was always
striving to do for her.
The sun was nearly two hours high
on the following day when the boat
bearing LATTE back to Grande Terre
stole out from the wooded mouth OF
the Bayou.
Looking toward the island. LATTE
noticed an unusual volume of smoke
lingering above the tree tops, and
wondered why the men had so much
fire at this hour of the day. Then,
turning his eyes to the east, he saw a
