SHE MADE HIM BEHAVE.
He Wanted to Hold Hands All the
Time Whether Jumping
Logs or Not.

On occasion, it appears, the naive but
ing circumstances. eyokes the protec-
ton of the church, says the Louisville
Courier Journal.
When | was down in the mountains"
one pretty, round-eyed young business
girl was overheard to say to another,
over their midday luncheon, Susie
planned little climb up the mountain
side, just to entertain me; and Susie's
beau-that old Mr.. Hedges-he must
be over 30-went with us. He kept help
ing me over all the big logs and bad
places, you know; and we had an awful
ly nice time. I noticed that he didn't
help Susie very often; but. you see. I
thought it was because was the visitor
and because Susie had been up there
beforehand could climb Better. I'm
awful awkward at jumping big logs.
When we got home-don't you think
Susie acted mad and accused me of
holding hands all day with Mr. Hedges
did you ever! l told her it was no such
thing-he was her beau-and he was
just jumping me over all the big logs
to be polite. And that made Susie feel
all right.
We'll, sir the day came home, here
turned up that old Mr. Hedges at the
station-1 know he's 50 If he's day
and he said he was going up the road
on business. He had a valise. He sat
by me and seemed awful polite-but,
bless you, pretty soon he began holding
my hand again. l didn't like it bit:
because there wasn't any log jumping
going on, you know-and SO knew
he had been holding hands with me
the day before. just as Susie said he
had. He must have liked it.
Il tried to make him quit-but he
wouldn't-though he dropped my hand
every time the conductor came through.
and | remembered all the time he was
Susie's beau-so I thought, we'll, sir,
I'll just talk religion to him-that'H
knock him out. So said: Mr.. Hedges.
what church do you belong tor He
looked awful funny. and said: I don't
belong to any church And I said:
You ought to-; it would make you be-
have better
THAT knocked old Hedges silly" con-
cluded the round-eyed girl, land he
didn't hold my hand any more. I was
awful glad when he got Off the train.
And wrote and told Susie all about
him; SO Susie wrote me that she had
bounced old Mr. Hedges-aud she's got
a new beau"

Attractive and Fruitful Farms.


There are a good many reasons why
a farm should be made as attractive az
possible. One of the best is that it
makes farm work more pleasant and
relieves the baroness and monotony
that often make farm life tedious.
Another reason is that it pays in dol
lars and cents. The orchard and the
garden should be as fruitful and
profitable as the fields and the pas
lures. They should be as zealously
planned and looked after. The sur
roundings of the house and the barns
may be materially beautified, and
health and comfort added by the prop
er planting of ornamental and shade
trees.
The farm garden that is well stocked
with berries, bushes and vines, with
roses and all sorts of small fruits, is
a thing of beauty and source of
pleasure and profit The orchard filled
with fruit trees and the lawn bordered
with shade and ornamental trees,
shrubs, ETC., mark the home of the
wise, wide-awake, progressive farmer.

GROWING LETTUCE.
An Easily Gro ;yn Plant for which
There Is ssearly Always
Ready Market.

Lettuce is considered cool weather
plant, and succeeds best when grown
in the spring and autumn. 1t easily
Ilccumbs to frost and cold, if previor,s-
~ grown in warm temperature, Eut
stands severe weather, if gradually
hardened to it. Some gardeners put
in their seed in September, and winter
the plants outdoors either entirely I'M
protected or with only slight covering
of sea grass or straw Under most
favorable conditions the seed sprouts
within three or four days, but it may
sometimes be greatly delayed. When
the weather is dry and cold, seed plant
ed in September may not sprout until
the following spring.
Large quantities Of lettuce are on
from the Carolinas and Florida. The
southern cop is usually seeded in
the open and ready for shipment late
in December and early January, while
the late crop is planted in beds and
covered with cloth.
The lettuce is usually set 12x14
inches apart in beds. Some growers
prefer 12x12 inches. while still others
with the larger headed varieties set in
16x16 inches. The size of the lettuce
beds range from 2Ox1O5 feet to 2Ox1SO
feet. Posts 2x2 inches and feet long
are driven about foot In the ground,
20 which Pinch Dashboard is
nailed. Stakes are set S feet apart. A
central stake 2 feet above the ground
is set opposite and bow strip is
nailed from side to side to cove over
the top of this stake. The bows are
2 inches wide, 21 feet long and made
out of 1s-inch stuff. This bends
easily, making an incline from the
center of the side. Cotton cloth is
used for covering. Strips are sewed to-
gether SO as to cover the entire bed.
It is placed on a frame and run up
on either side to the center, where it is
tied and held in place.
Some prefer soft, delicate flavor,
butter variety, using for serving on
the table with dressing. Others are
more accustomed to the hard texture
of the crisp sorts, while still others
think there is nothing superior to the
coarse, sweet leaves of the Cos lettuces.
Usually a change from one to the other
is agreeable to most persons. In
some markets the light green types
are demanded and there is little call
for the brown, colored sorts. The east
ern markets, during the winter months.
demand head lettuce, while in the west
the more easily grown punching sorts
Of the Grand Rapids type are the kinds
most used for forcing.-Orange Judd

Always have water where the cat
tie can get at it at will, and in winter
nut a tank heater into the tank. This
costs about 81, will pay for itself
many times over in one season, and

Thorough cultivation is as essen

profitable corn raising, and no after
cultivation is able to make up for neg
lecting to give thorough cultivation

ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
kno VS. how completely it units one for
the dnties and. pleasures Of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like a nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or q band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison.
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one Of the com.
monest results is frequent aud severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blocd that
causes the attack by the use of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy. The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
I" For more than seven years was q
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and ! became so restless that could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
What saved you from that necessity"
"a very simple thing; the call Of \
member of one Of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup Iacted on her sugges-
ton at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi.
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, aud resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.

Pupils in American Schools

The number of pupils enrolled in the
common schools of the United States
in 1904 was 16,009,361, or over 20 per
cent. of the entire population of the
country, as estimated by the last cen.
sus report. These figures, however, re.

rollment, including evening schools.

schools, orphan asylums and all public

Poet Who Succeeds.

The Italian government has voted an
annual pension of about 81 400 to the vet
eran poet, Carducci, on his retirement.
after As years service, from the chair of
literature in the University of Bologna.
Carducci, who has long been recognized
as Italy's greatest living poet, was tn
founder Of a new school, reaction
against romanticism, a return to the
sources of classic inspiration. His
model was Horace, but a Horace en-
dowed with an active political con-
science, and his songs of independence
have left their mark on history as well
as literature.
