to have been written to Nadine by
Mrs. Hartje.
Nadine said he would not make ar

who, it is alleged, broke open his
trunk and carried off letters and
papers.
Il have left everything" said he
"in the hands of the attorneys (refer-
ring to counsel for Mrs. HARTLEY and
1t rests with them"
Mrs. Hartje has lost the look O,
anxiety which was commented on dur
ing the trial last week and seems &c
be gaining confidence as the examina-
ton Of the letters by the experts pro-
crosses.
Not to be outdone by the defense
the attorneys for Hartje have had the
letters photographed and have pre-
pared charts three feet In height.
Both sides have prepared charts and
engagements Of the letters and they
will be taken into court when the
trial Of the case Is: resumed tomor-
row.
An effort will be made, it Is said
to prove that Mrs. Hartje was deceived
as to her own writing by the clever
ness of the alleged forger. Contempt
proceedings, it Is asserted, will be urR-
ed If it Is proven that the court has
been imposed on. Friends of Hartje's
attorneys say that If this is true, the
lawyers have been imposed on also
and are innocent Of knowledge OF the
alleged forgeries.

The greatest caution was observed
while these dispositions were beine

about the entrance to- the office and

were warned away.

Another dramatization of the Sunday
comic supplement is due. This time it
is, "Hoollgan" who is portrayed under
the calcium light the "Hooligan" who
man ages to get into all sorts Of trouble
only to bob up again next week with
the same smiling countenance. In his
stage clothes 'Hooligan" has a broad
expansive smile that is as good as a
tonic and while the plot will not tire
anyone the comedy Is there for all OF
''Hooligan's" mishaps for the past few
years have been boiled down into a
three hour entertainment.
Yet there are claims made for ':Hooli-
gan" this time that are somewhat be-
yond the average musical farce COM
edy. "Hooligan" is on earth for pleas
ure and nothing vulgar is allowed to
creep into his talk or mann erisms. He
Is not like the average tramp of the
average tramp" comedy. He can sing
and dance and he can find trouble al
ways awaiting him but when he laughs
1t off 1t is only to plung into fresh
difficulties for the enjoyment of the
audience.
The plot contains many skillfully
contrived situations and uproariously
funny complications. Manager A. J.
Aylesworth. who brings his company
from New York, offers a piece full of
snappy, witty dialogue, a charmingly
costumed chorus. excellent scenic en-
vironment and medley Of songs,
dances and specialties.
"Hooligan's Troubles" will be pre-
sented at the Metropolitan Sunday af-
ternoon and evening, July Is.

for consenting to marry Miss Margaret
Louise Magee of Pittsburg, daughter
OF the late Senator c. L. Magee, Penn

and expert all-around boodler. The
baron, who Is inclined to drive
shrewd bargain on occasion, demanded
$250,000, but the widow Magee in
formed him that his proposition was
preposterous. When he was told that
he would be given 100000 and not a
cent more, and that he could take tho
goods at that price or leave them, the
greedy baron threw his hand into the
discard and accepted the profrered rake
off. However, he was taking no
chances on a throw down." so he re-
fused to bulge a step from Rome

THE GRANGE. LIBRARY.
The Influence of Books In the Hands
 of Patrons.


 The fact that so many granges are awakening to the importance of found ing grange libraries is q most hopeful sign. We talk great deal about ed ucation In the grange. what It should and should not include. Of this fact we should never lose sight: The great est thing pertaining to education is to know how to read well Arithmetic, geography, bookkeeping. all have their place in education. They prepare the child for practical conditions. and to a great extent they develop the mind as all mental exercise necessarily does. But the mind Is really fed through reading. It grows by what 1t feeds upon. and If fed by the sensational stories of the newspapers and by trashy books it can never gain the heights of excellence. Let the grange library take a more prominent part in the domes- tic economy Of every we'll regulated grange. Let the grange library be- come the missing link between the grange and the home. The book in the hands of a Patron should carry on the work begun i1 the grange meeting.
 We should select our books with care. since good books in library tend to promote moral and intellectual growth. Books cannot be read with out eXertinG some influence. They ele- vate or degrade; the- strengthen or weaken: they add to or subtract fron mental force. One man reapS tares. and another gathers golden grain In the same field because of the seed sown somewhere in his early life. Let us have more grange li5raries.-New York Grange Bulletin.

 believe the duty of the state grange lecturer should be chiefly for the im- provement of the lecture work In sub ordinate granGcs-planu'ng that work In q measure. suggesting methods, reg ularly furnishing topics for discourse. preparing special day programmes. etc. and in general way assisting the subordinate lecturers in making their work las effective as possible. Many personal letters should be written where a weak lecturer Is located. and at all times let the lecturers feel that the state lecturer is th hir servant in time of need.
 Secondarily comes the field work through picnic addresses. Pomcua grange talks, lecturers conferences and occasionally visit to a subordi- nate grange when it Is in everyday working oNler. This field work gives the much needed personal touch to the lecture work. although we hold that of tAiS bNO NtiS PI page SAIltl Ic&SbAlstt letter can best do our duty. The work of organizing granges should not be ex- pected of state lecturer unless 1t be where comparatively few granges ex- ist and the combined force of grange officials in the state is needed to ex- tend the organization. The state lee turer should never lose sight of the fact that the greatest progress our Order can make must come through the subordinate grange. where the rank and file of members are to be helped.

Agrfcufture Tn Public Schools


 The grange everywhere is in favor of nature study in the common schools It is, however. noteworthy that there is lack of unanimity in opinion as to how best accomplish this much desired end. A helpful suggestion comes from the New York state educational de pertinent along this line. A syllabus on agriculture for Use in elementary grades of the public schools has been issued and no doubt will be furnished to any one desiring to investigate the subject.
 One obstacle to the introduction of the study of agriculture in the common schools is the unpreparedneSS of the teacher for the work. Asked If she can teach 1t even in its most elemen- tary branches, she throws up her hands in despair. But the New York state educational department approach es her from another side of the sub ject and asks her to tell her pupils about plant growth and something about fruits and vegetables and the commonest methods of their culture She thus gives her pupils something to think about and write about, and what they write Is made a part of their En- glish work. They are studying agricul- ture and the teacher Is teaching it-of course in Its most elementary forms and yet 1t Is being done as work In English quite as much as work in az riculture

The Farmers Union.

There Is an organization known as the Farmers union which Is spread ing very rapidly throughout the central southwest. However, this organization is more political in character than is the grange, though possibly. if the po- litical feature could be subordinated so as not to conflict with the principles laid down in the grange declaration of purposes, q union might be effected between it and the grange. There does not seem to be any good reason for rival farm organizations. in view of the fact that the grange is attempting to secure those benefits for the farming industry which should characterize the aims and purposes of any farmers or ganization, but if the union could be effected it would materially strengthen the grange In those states where NOW 1t is not very strong.

MONEY IN TIMBER LOTS.

With the very poorest of soft wood boards and strips costing all the way from S25 to $50 per thousand and with the prospect that the next few years will see a decided advance on these prices, the problem of future lumber supply should receive serious and gen eral attention. In this connection we wish to emphasize the recommends tion of a reader of these notes, whose suggestion as to the planting of cotton wood trees with a view to furnishing a future lumber supply was comment ed upon in this department not long ago. We are led to do so by noting the case of q central Iowa farmer who has an acre of cottonwoods planted twenty-five or thirty years, the lumber value of which is today estimated at from 1000 to S1..30. and 1t is quite safe to say that inside of twenty-five years more similar tract would be worth a half more than the amount named. For all rougher uses on the farm we see no good reason why cot tonwood lumber would not answer the purposes served by the poorer grades of soft pine lumber sold today. Higher prices of all kinds of lumber are a dead certainty for the future, and now is the proper time for the exercise of horticultural faith and the planting of generous areas for the use of fu- ture generations.

BUTTER STORAGE EXPERIMENTS.


 bulletin recently issued by the dairy division of the bureau of animal industry at Washington gives some in- teresting data relative to the expert mentS which have been conducted dur ing the past year in the making and storage of butter. Last summer 6,000 pounds of butter made in Kansas and Iowa were placed in cold storage in Chicago. Some of the questions as to which these experiments were expected to give results were Ql the effect of pasteurization. @ the amount of salt to be used, (3) temperature of the stor- age rooms, (4) the use of cans hermeti- cally sealed for storing butter. (5 the keeping qualities of good compared with poor butter. and (6l the action of air in contact with butter In storage. The butter was made from five lots of cream, three of which were sour when received at the creamery and two sweet. From each lot of cream two lots of butter were made. one pasteurized and the other not. and part of each lot of butter was lightly salted and part heavily salted. The butter was packed in tubs and cans. some of the cans be- ing only partly filled. so as to test the effect of air. A part of each lot of butter was stored at different tempera- lures, and the whole lot remained in storage eight months. The results showed that the butter containing low percentage of salt kept better than that heavily sated. that butter in full cans kept better than In cans opIv partly full, and, lastly, that butter made from cream received sweet kept better both in storage and after re- moval than butter made from the sour cream.
