FIVE FRANCS PER MoURNER.
Frenehman Left Instructions Tha

Frenchman Left instructions That
Each Should Be Paid.
At Etampes, near Versailles, strange
scenes were witnessed at funeral
recently, says Paris correspondent to
the London Telegraph. A rich bache'
lor of the locality recently died, leav'
ing large fortune to the parish and
disinheriting his relatives. In his
will there was inserted instructions to
the effect that each person attending
his funeral should receive francs.
This was bruited abroad and as tho
funeral was on the point of starting a
crowd of the most INDECENT creatures
of the whole district appeared in sight.
1t was arranged by the mayor and the
municipal councillors that all these
wretched people should receive some
money and that as many Of them as
could be accommodated in cabs and
vans should attend the funeral. The
quite satisfied with the decision,
boldly took possession not only of the
cabs and vans but also of six landaus
intended for the mayor, the town coun'
cilors and the sub-prefect. The beggars
were threatened and then implored to
leave the landaus, but they only
laughed at the mayor and his friends,
who decided not to attend the funeral.
This moved off followed only by the
mendicants. who fairly enjoyed them
selves in the vehicles which they had
carried by assault. The mayor and
the councillors are now debating as
to the advisability of distributing the
5 franc pieces bequeathed by the rich
bachelor only to the most deserving
among the INDECENT inhabitants OF
Etampes.

roar of the fire, the cracking
boom of the burning cane, the
monotonous tolling of the bells.

the nearby hum and ring of the flying

Catch Crops
With Corn

Where corn has been narrowed per-
sistently as we have recently advised
and consequently is practically free
from weeds in the hills at the time
when the cultivator is usually EN-.
ployed, there is no good reason why
a catch crop should not be sown when
the cultivation is complete. Some
still consider the pumpkin the only
proper crop to grow in the corn field,
but many have had good results from
seeding with Essex rape which affords
a fine bite for sheep in fall and early
winter. There are some, however, who
complain that rape is apt to grow so
rank that it becomes a nuisance at
husking or cutting time, and especially
in wet weather or when the frost is
thick upon the ground.
There is a good deal Of truth to this
statement, but the trouble could be
largely obviated by pasturing with
lambs, which do not hurt corn when
there Is full bite Of rape and keep
down that crop in fairly good shape.
But rape is not the only crop that can
be successfully raised in corn. Glover
is just as good If not better and it
certainly Is far more valuable as a
fertiliZing agent, and fertilization is
badly needed on most farms that have
been worked for many years. In order
to obtain good crop of clover seeded
in the corn field the land must be
worked fiat from start to finish, and
this can only be done where harrow
ing has been resorted to before the
plants came through the ground.
Level cultivation is best in clean
land and makes a fine bed for clover
seeding. Unless the soil is very well
pulverized, however, 1t is we'll to give
the field one thorough cultivation with
shallow toothed harrows drill harrows
or scuffler) before seeding the clover.
One experienced man says he uses ten
pounds of clover and five pounds of
timothy for seeding in the corn field.
After seeding he cultivates very shall
low to cover the seed not over an inch
and half and the clover comes up
well, covers the ground, mulches It,
conserves moisture and affords a fine
feast for lambs in fall and again in
spring when 1t may be turned under if
corn is again to be grown or left to
form a hay meadow. The clover is a
cheap and valuable fertilizing agent
as well as good food and should be
put in wherever possible on every
farm each year-A. S. Alexander in
Farmers Review.

But some one was burned on the

Almost at the point of safety, within a

"Caramba!" And then the assistant
manager having vented his only Span
ish swear word fell back on English.
What the deuce is that din
Under the window were three wom-
en-. One raked riot from an instru-
mentApr torture, one sang in voice OF
brass bound barrenness and one stood
weeping.
Shoot the syllabus" he exclaimed
softly, IF you be the musical voices
and sweet guitar of Spain, may the
devil fly away with your prospectus.
But why doth the fair one weep?"
AS there was no one in the Office to
answer this question, and as he was
quite new to Porto Rico, Pendleton
set to work to piece out the song-if
such it could be called-for himself.
He knew Spanish-book Spanish-but
the music and the voice were too
much for his translating. He shouted
impatiently to them to stop the music
and go slow. The older women obey
ed, delighted to have attracted the at
tention of the rich American; all
Americans are rich in Porto Rico, and
the younger woman pushed her face
farther into her hands. Whether she
wept or whether she just stood listen
ing to that doleful song, Pendleton
could not tell. But by Titles he made
out the meaning of it all. 1t was her
tale of woe that the beggars were re-
lating in their song. A true tale, he
fancied, seeing how she seemed to
bow beneath the shame of it. A sorry
one, even for a native of Porto Rico
If it was true. Pendleton hailing from
a particularly prosperous section of
the States was new to beggars and
their wiles. Besides, he could not pos
sibly work with that demon-like din
going on under his window. He went
out into the street and to the woman
who was weeping-or pretending to.
See here" he said in abrupt Amer
lean fashion, what is your name?"
NADIA" she told him.
"'Nada, That means nothing"
'It is my name, senor."
ct suits you," reflected the young
man grimly, for she did appear to be
as near nothing as any human being
could be; worn to the bone with pri-
walton, barely covered with the short
supply of rags that did duty as cloth
ing.
"Is 1t true, what they say?" he jerk

A flash of indignation lighted her
