Beths lips quivered, but she tried TO
smile.
Perhaps it does sound silly, now
that our honeymoon's over" she said
bravely, and then hurried from the
room.
''over.' she said. Yes, it is over"
he murmured feebly and turned his
face to the wall.
In the middle of the afternoon one
of the hired men came to the house
and asked TO see Mr.. Bradley.
There's n kid here he said, that
wants to hire out"
where does he come from?" Jack
asked in surprise.
From some place beyond LennoXs,
1 guess. He says he wants to sleep
an eat home, so it can't be fur off.
Shall | tell him he can stay, sir?"
Il am only too glad to get him.
Jack replied.
When the men left the field at sup
per time the new hand was very tired.
He seemed likely TO drop before he
got home, they told JACK.
Poor little chap" said one of them.
HE amt used to workin' so hard. If
the rain holds off a day longer, sir,
we'll get the wheat all cut"
The rain. did hold off until evening of
the next day, and the wheat was cut
and shocked, when one of the men
came running to the house for help.
''The little chap is down there in
the field, with Jim-sick," he said.
'Shall / hitch up and take him home?"
NO" Jack said. Bring MIN up here.
1t will rain before you could get start

There was something strangely IA
miliar inpthe pathetic little figure they
laid so carefully on the bed.
"If we can do anything for him, jest
call us" Jim said.
Jack stopped and united the big
straw hat from the boyish head; then
his face grew white, for Beth's soft,
brown hair, released from bondage,
streamed over the pillow, and Beth's
blue eyes gaZed into his. without the
faintest sign Of recognition.

The restless head turned on the pill
low, and the pale lips murmured:

little hands and sobbed aloud. Then
the voice went on, with many pauses:

Aunt Hitty had entered the room
unnoticed. She started now, at the

The tears rained down Aunt Hitty's
face. Il didn't know she said, ''H-

watched with Jack beside Beth's bed,
while the rain beat against the win

the trees But when day dawned, all
was still; the sunlight touched Beth's
face and wakened her. Her eyes
sought Jacks inqulrlngly, then rested
there, In sweet content.

her tenderly in his strong arms, Il

cULTIvATINe CORN.
Prompt Use of the Weeder = BfG
Point In Corn Growing.

Prompt Use of the Weeder = Bfg
Point In Corn Growing.
The chief purpose or cultivating corn,
with most farmers, Is to kill weeds.
Yet very important object may be-
to warm and dry the soil. or. on the
contrary, to stop evaporation and Haye
the moisture for the corn. The best
time to kill weeds Is as soon as they
have sprouted and before they come
up. At this time the ground will often
seem filed with the fine threadliko
rootlets, and IL they are stirred and
brought to the surface they Will soon
die. This can be most easily done by
use of harrow or weeder.
The cornfeld should be gone over
with weeder three or four days pfter
planting and at about the same Inter
val thereafter There is a temptation
to let 1t 90 until the weeds begin W
show and the field looks green. ibis n
a mistake, for after the weeds begin
to show the weeder win not DO nearly
SO good work. II the use Of the weed
er Is well followed up the weeds may
be kept down with 1t alone at q great
saving, for it will cover twice the space
and In half the time, saving three
fourths of the time required by. the
cultiyator.
A great mistake Is often made at this
point in neglecting the corn to DloN
and plant more ground. when aftte
the actual yield would be greater II
the time and work were given to the
crop already planted. Neglect Of the
corn leads 10 loss In the crop that is
not counterbalanced by the gain on
the additional area planted.
Sometimes 1t is necessary to cult
yate corn while 1t Is wet for the pur-
pose Of drying the soil and, by expos
Ing II to the air, warming it. This can
bo done In cloudy weather. The ground
should not be worked deep and should
be ridged as much as possible. Then,
IL stirred at the right time again, the
work Will be found n great benefit

Excluriye Corn Diet.

1t has been concluded at the Wis
consln experiment station that It is I'm
practicable to raise young pigs on nm
exclusive corn ration. The feeding
trial made dwarfed animals out OF
every pig in lot /. fed exclusively
on corn. While they gained some In
flesh, they did not develop In bone, and
as time went on their vitality de-
creased. The hair on their bodies be-
came thin and their skin hard and
scaly. Toward the end Of the trial
they were Indifferent about eating and
showed considerable uneasiness."

The Second Brood.

Later. IN the case of the second
brood, the situation is different. The
larvae get into the fruit, much Of which
rots, while some appears to be healthy;
until after 1t is packed and stored
away, where the larvae finish their de-
velopment slowly and spin cocoons inE
the barrels or bins The first brood
does less damage than the second, bqk
the size Of the second brood depends
largely ON the proportion Of the frSt
brood that lives through. A spray ap-
piled just about the time that the
young hatch out, during the first week
of August, should and does reduce the
second brood very materially. The rea-
son for this Is found In the fact that
the majority Of the eggs are laid On
the leaves, which readily take and re-
tain the poison.

The fact that the larvae feed for the

leaves makes the advantage OF under.

sprays are to be applied they may be

ANIMAL ANlMUS.
Ways In Which Wild Brutes Show
Their Contempt For Mankind.

contempt r OE lUauA1AOs
"Wild animals have a great many
ways of showing their contempt for
humankind" said an artist who has
made a speciality Of modelling animals.
Every one has an idea that ele-
plants become tame and even fond Of
people, but this Is altogether wrong.
They are easily trained, but are never
tanned. They are docile just so long as
the keeper has his goad In his hand or
the memory Of burning endures. l
had proof Of this one day while model
ing one Of the elephants in a big ami
NAL show 1 was sitting III his stall,
with my modelling stand, not knowing
that on certain days he was given an
extra allowance of chain. Suddenly he
flung his trunk around with such force
that it smashed the stand to bits and
sent me dozen feet outside the stall.
"He never forgot his failure to finish
me, and soon afterward he expressed
bis dislike in a more vulgar If less dan
gerous manner. AS I worked heard
him make a loud sucking noise, but
suspected nothing. At last when he
had his mouth quite full Of saliva he
blew it toward me.
"This is not only trick Of elephants,
but of other animals as we'll, as have
learned to my sorrow. Camels have
the same habit, and while working
near camel one day was treated to
a shower Of finely chewed cud."
This sculptor and other artists agree
that the cat animals have a. different
mode Of attack. There seems less Of
spite and more Of real hate In their
method. Sculptors usually place their
modelling stands as close to the bars as
possible This same one was once
working close to a tigers cage, with
the beast inside lying very quiet, ap-
parently asleep. Without even raising
his eyeballs the big cat struck be-
tween the bars with his heavy forepaw,
splintering the stand and sending the
clay in wads on the floor. The artist,
warned by a sixth sense developed by.
those who are much about animals,
had jumped back just in time to es-
cape.-New York Herald.

The Guest and the Waitress.

A dainty stranger waited into the
dining room of hotel in Smith Centre
the other day and as the chair was held
back for him pulled out his handker-
chief and busted the seat carefully.
Pulling up his trousers, he seated him
self, wiped the knife, fork and spoon
with napkin, worried few crumbs
off the table and heaved a sigh Of re-
lief. Without hesitation the girl who
stepped forward to take his order deft-
ly wiped the strangers mouth, which
had been drawn into pucker of dis
satisfaction at the imaginary untidi-
ness abounding, and planted kiss
thereon that was plainly heard in all
parts Of the room. The dainty stran-
ger when he recovered ordered meekly.

Titles In GermanY.

The question Of title is one Of the
most delicate in Germany, a fact of
which the stranger is constantly re-
minded in intercourse with the people,
particularly with the women. Frau
Professor, Frau Director, Frau Doctor,
are most particular about their hus-
bands titles being attached to their
own names. But when it comes to mil
ita:'v circle it is different, and both

Says a writer In the London Chroni-
Gle: "a vulgarism-one which, like 'ags
gravate' for frritate,' has come into
use by way Of the kitchen stairs-is
'demean,' with a sense of derogation
or abasement. It is to be seen in many
a paper and even many a book and
heard in many speech. It is the Sec
ond syllable that has misled the popu-
lar understanding. but the noun de-
meanor' should have saved the edu-
Gated from their blunder with the verb.
