Mr.. HiIlyer's Burglar Alarm.

Mr.. Hillyer was heavy sleeper.
He was a man, also, with chronic
fear of burglars. 1t was these two
things that led him to have the win
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with a burglar alarm of the latest and
most approved description
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to
breakfast with grin on his face.
II had funny dream last night"
he said. Il dreamed that a burglar
raised my window and the alarm went
off, but he didn't seem to mind It, He
rumaged the bureau drawers, found
my watch and pocketbook and slipped
out the way he came in. BY the way, y
he added, Il forgot to bring down my
watch and pocketbook. I'll go and
get them"
He went upstairs and returned In
moment with an entirely different look
on his face. The watch and pocket
book were gone, 1t had not been Q

Mildew on eooseberrles.


For a long time It was Impossible to
raise the large English varieties OF
gooseberry In this country, ON account
of the tendency to mildew; now the
cause of the trouble is better under
stood and can be obviated In various
ways. so that II is comparatively easy
to grow many of the very large sorts.
Some new large varieties have been
produced which are less liable to
mildew than the older ones, though
most of them will do so more or less
in unfavorable seasons, unless great
care is exercised, In the first place.
the bushes should have plenty OF room
as a crowded condition is one OF the
causes of the trouble. They should
not be planted in a place where the
wind cannot blow freely among them.
but In an airy situation where there
viii be less tendency to dampness.
The dampness alone Is not so bad, as
the effect OF the hot sun on the
bushes after prolonged wet spell.
Judicious pruning has much to do
with the prevention of mildew, as
where the old wood Is removed and
the extra branches taken out the air
has a better chance for circulation and
less mildew will be the result.
To sum up the matter, the best way
to obviate the difficulty Is to plant the
bushes where there is a good clrcula-
ton OF air, in partial shade during the
heat of the day, and keep the bushes
well thinned of branches. II the fruit
is so heavy as to bear the branches
down to the ground, frame should BIO
provided to hold them up.
When mildew appears in spite OF all
precaution, spray can be applied
that will effectually check it, as mil
dew yields more readily to the fungi
] eide than almost any other fungus. To
make II dissolve one-half ounce OF
liver OF sulphur in one gallon of water,
and spray the bushes thoroughly, be-
| ginning when the disease first begins
and repeating II necessary. In damp
seasons the work will be needed more
often.
Bordeaux mixture has also proved q
valuable help in this work, four appll.
cations being necessary during tho
season, two before blooming and two
after. If currant worms are also
working, add little paris green or
white hellebore to kill them.

fight mildew. as 1t does not appear

years we have had 1t but once, ant

CHAPTER XVII.
Sam Rounds Repents.

Cosmopolitan Improvement stock
was strong and active during the ses-
sion preceding the evening set for the
special consideration of its franchises.
Brokers who acted for Arthur Morris
stood on the floor OF the exchange
and bid up the stock and took all Of
ferings. The price mounted steadily,
but rapidly. There was heavy selling
fIom some unknown source, and at
the close enormous blocks came out.
The rumor spread that James Blake
was selling the stock. When his
representatives stood in the excited
mob and boldly proffered Cosmopoli-
tan in thousand-share lots, the price
gagged, but Morris's agents came to
The rescue and it closed just below the
top figure.
A published poll Of the council
showed a majority in favor of the
ordinances, and wise spectators pre-
oicted that in the expected boom OF
the morrow Blake would be severely
punished Blake denied himself to al
callers. The transactions were re
corded in the name of John Hawkins
aud that gentleman spent all of his
time with MIR. Burton"
Early in the day John sent TO

When His Head Swelled.

AS illustrative of the celebrating eff
fects of liquor, Alderman Hammond
Odell tells the story of a switchman
who took a drink and felt that he
ought to be section boss. He took an
ether and said, 81 ought to be divi-
zion superintendent" He took two or
three more and felt that he ought to
be general manager of the railroad.
Then he took two or three more and
thought he should be president Of the
road.
In few minutes the fast express
was approaching. The switchmar
raised aloft his red lamp and brought
the train came to a standstill.
What is the trouble?" inquired th'
conductor
The switchman slowly pulled out hi
watch and said, "You are two minutes
late Don't let this happen again"

to attend to-nights session Of the
council" said John. viii you join
us. Jlm?"
"Id like to, but have another en-
gagement," replied Blake. "I'll try to
drop in before the session is over"
Long before the chairman called the
city fathers to order the hall was
cloudy with tobacco smoke. There
was little that was impressive in the
personnel of the municipal Solons,
nor was their gathering marked by
dignity. 1t Is sad reflection that the
average city council is fairly repre-
sentative of its constituents. 1t is the
mirror of urban ignorance, deceit and
cupidity; of the varying grades of
venality, relieved by a sprinkling Of
upright, but too often impractical
men, Righteousness enactments are
wrung from such bodies only by fear
of public indignation, and corrupt
measures go down to defeat only when
detection and punishment faces the
Iurchasable majority.
John Burt and John Hawkins looked
down on this motley crowd of civic
craftsmanship.
Various minor matters had been de-
| hated and decided when the chairman
! announced that the honr set for the
consideration of the franchises of the
| Cosmopolitan Improvement company
had arrived A clerk read the ordi-
nances, and each alderman was pro
vided with a copy of them.
Alderman Hendricks arose and was
recognized He was the accredited
champion of the Cosmopolitan fran
chises. He made an able presentation
of the arguments in favor of the pend
ing ordinances. He was empowered
by his constituents to vote in theil
favor, he said. They promised much
needed relief from the exactions o.

was a good speech, and worth all tina
was paid for it.
Others followed in similar strain
though not so logically or grammati
cally. A well-drilled claque In IN
gallery applauded at proper intervals
Other speeches we're made, for an
against the ordinances, and then A
German Hendricks moved the previou
question. 1t was carried, and the rol

"A-aye, SORT" yelled a shrill voice.
The claque applauded vigorously.

declared John Hawkins. Joking
aside, I'll go with you any day you
say, and I'll be damned glad to meet
the old man. Only I'll promise not to
swear again in his presence"
They talked for hours, and Haw-
Sihs listened with interest to the dis
closures made by Sam Rounds con-
corning the Cosmopolitan Improve
ment Company.
A messenger arrived with a sealed
letter from the alderman, informing
John Burt that the bribery money had

Bury Dead Hogs Deep.

Hogs that have died of cholera
should be buried deep in place
that will not be used as feed
ing ground by other hogs. The
pit If possible should be near the
place where they expired, as 1t is not
desirable to haul them about the farm
in wagons. BY this latter method, the
disease is spread. Putting quicklime
about the body before it is covered
helps to lessen the danger of the dis
ease germs getting from the body to
the surface. But even then 1t Is pos
sible that after the lime has taken In
enough water to neutralize 1t there
will be some germs left to pass into
the soil with the soil water. The

Drummer Boy at Lookout Mountain.
When Grant and old Pap" Thomas
were watching the immortal charge of
the federal troops up the face of Look
out Mountain, certain regiment far
to the front was seen to waver. The
colors began to recede; the storm of
rock and bullets sweeping down from
the confederates intrenched above
was too much for the courage of the
men.
Then out of the tangle, the living
and dying, there came little drum
mer boy and he went beyond the col.
ors and up to a perch of rock High
he placed himself, his face turned UP
defiantly to the fire-rimmed noun
tain's crest. Sharp and long came the
call of his drum to the failing men be
low him, while on the heights men IN
gray spared their aim for the bravery
of the lad.
Men of the blue rallied. They cheer
ed the drummer boy and swept by
him in new effort. They scaled the
peaks and won the victory, while from
the slopes still rang out his challenge
for great deeds. 1t was Molly Pitcher
who rolled the drum at Monmouth be

The strawberry Bed Af.er Frultin

The strawberry bed should receive
attention as soon as the harvest is
ended. Where large beds of strawber'
rles are grown, the mower can be
used in clipping off the old vines, and
as weeds will have grown up quite
thickly in the rows and between the
rows where mulch has not been
used. the second work is to cultivate
between the rows to destroy the
weeds. II the rows are narrowed up
considerably and the growth OF vines
is luxuriant, the problem OF keeping
down the weeds will be more easily
solved.
