A SOCIETY GIRL
TURNS FARMER
A BALTIMORE HEIRFSS TAKES
CHARGE OF GOO ACRES.
RAISES THE LARGEST CROPS
Miss Georgia Jones Assumes Manage
ment of Old Homestead and Is a
Pronounced Success as an
Agriculturist.

Baltimore, Md-Miss Georgia Gels
ton Jones, daughter of the late Isaac
d. Jones, has given up her fashion
able life in Baltimore and ceased to
take an active interest in the old
First Presbyterian church, having
taken over the management Of a farm
of 400 acres under cultivation and 200
acres in woodland. She has raised
one of the largest crops ON the east
ern shore of Maryland
Cares of big farm are just the op-
posite of the easy life that has been
the lot of Miss Jones' Her GRANDPA
Their, Hugh Gelston, was one of the
leading merchants and real estate
owners of this city in the '4O's. and
her father was attorney general under
Gov. William Pinkney Whyte. Miss
Jones inherited wealth from both.
She is a cousin of the late Countess
Machido, of Paris.
When the father of Miss Jones died
she fell heir to Arcadia, an estate of
GEO acres near Princess Anne, on the
eastern shore. She soon found she
could not get capable overseer or
manager for the place and that it was
going to wreck and ruin. She closed
her ancestral home here, boarding up
its exterior to protect the rich furni-
ture, works of art and fine linen,
placed the family silverware in stor-
age and decided to go to Princess
Anne and run the farm herself.
The estate lies on the bank of the
Manokin river, and is crowned by a
large and roomy old mansion. A
wooded lawn stretches away in front
of the house, a score of negroes are
in the fields busy cutting corn and a
herd of Jersey cattle roams over the
place.
81 did not come here to live, or,
rather, l did not come here to stay
said Miss Jones. 81 came here fully
intending to get a good tenant, to get
the dear old place, the house of my
father and the home of my child

money for themselves, but none for
my father and none for me when
came into possession of it. l urged
my father to sell it, but he thought
he could get returns from the farm
equal to a six per cent. investment.
Year after year passed and expected
returns came not. All the time it was
falling into bad repair.
Imagine my CONSERVATION, and,
indeed, my grief, when 1 saw the
fences down, the lawn covered with
sedge grass, the front porch dishev-
eled wreck, the house sadly lacking
paint. Before l reached the house 1
set the sedge grass on fire. The neigh
bors thought there was a big confia-
grafton on the place. l made my way
amid the smoke to the house l had
loved so dearly 1t did not seem to
be the same house, and could hardly
realize that within the same walls
only few years ago had gathered
some of the most prominent men and
women of the state and that here
had been heard their gay laughter.
Why, In the living. rooms in the DAYS
of my father / had seen % guests
assembled, the flower of Maryland.
Mad? / was so mad 1 did not know
what to do. No, l didn't cry, though
l am woman. l wanted to restore
the dear old place, and / wanted to
restore it all at once. I was too busy
with my plans to cry. 1 could not
get rid of the tenant, for he had
lease that would not expire for six
months. When that period was ND l
came into undisputed possession and
set about my work of restoration.
You can see that I have restored
the farm to what it was. In greater
part, during my fathers lifetime.
This year 1 beat all my neighbors in
raising wheat. My wheat averaged
80 bushels to the acre. have been
told the average in the county was
25 bushels. So remarkable was the
yield and of such fine quality was the
grain that the chamber of commerce
of Baltimore passed most favorably
upon it. | have been in receipt of
hundreds of letters from all parts of
the United States asking for seed.
My oat crop was equally satisfactory.
Ehe yield was 100 bushels to the acre.

OLD FASHIONED FARE.
Hot Biscuits, Griddle-Cakes, Pies and
Puddings.

The food that made the fathers strong
der the new conditions that our chang
ing civilization is constantly bringing
in. One of Mr.. Bryan's neighbors in
the great state of Nebraska writes:
II was raised in the south, where
hot biscuits, griddle-cakes, pies and
puddings are eaten at almost every
meal. and by the time located in Ne
braska l found myself a sufferer from
indigestion and it's attendant ills
distress and pains after meals, an al
most constant headache, dull, heavy
sleepiness by day and sleeplessness at
night, loss of flesh, impaired memory,
etc, ETC.
Il was rapidly becoming incapaci-
tated for business, when a valued
friend suggested a change in my diet,
the abandonment of heavy, rich stuff
and the use of Grape-Nuts food. I
followed the good advice and shall al
ways be thankful that did so.
Whatever may be the experience
Of others, the beneficial effects of the
change were apparent in my case al
most Immediately. My stomach, which
had rejected other food for so long.
took to Grape-Nuts most kindly; in a
day or two my headache was gone, I
began to sleep BEAUTIFULLY and before
a week was out the scales showed that
my lost weight was coming back My
memory was restored with the re-
newed vigor that felt in body and
mind. For three years now Grape
Nuts food has kept me in prime condi-
ton. and I propose 1t shall for the
rest of my days.
And by the way. my 21s-year-old
baby is as fond of Grape-Nuts as
am. always insists on having it. It

they make them" Name given by

Empty Coffin Escorted to Grave.

Frankfort on-theMain.-An employee
OF the railway, who was an old soldier,
died in small town near here a few
days ago. The family and friends were
anxious TO give him funeral with mil
itary honors. Unfortunately, owing to
the intense heat, the body had to be
taken TO the cemetery mortuary on the
evening of his death. The family or
dered a second coffin, which came Sc
cretly at night, and this was carried on
the day of the funeral amid concourse
OF mourrers to the cemetery. The cit
liens were a great deal vexed and in
clined to be troublesome, when, at the
last moment, the sham coffin was re-
placed by the genuine one before be-
ing committed to earth. This is proba-
bly, the first corpse which has not been
present at its own funeral.

PUSHING ON THE REVOLUTION.

The war of murder, of carnage
rapine and brutal assassination in
"Christian' Russia is being carri-
ed right on into the Christmas hol-
idays when all the rest of the
world is at peace. 1t looks as if
the situation in the Baltic pro
vinces had got beyond the control
of the government, and that for
the present at least the insurgents
will have their way. In some
localities the chief idea seems to be
that the best way the people can
show their appreciation of their
new found liberty is to destroy the
property of the nobility. Hence
whole sections of country are be-
ing laid to waste. The revolu-
tionists have very little organiza
ton and there is no unity of pur-
pose among them. THAT is the best
reason that has yet appeared that
the revolution under its present
managers is not likely to accom-
plish anything in the direction of
establishing a new form of govern
ment.
