the rear of the building.
At the sight of Ben the gypsy fled,
but it was no easy matter TO get Lady
out of the stable. Pilot followed him
readily enough, and 80 would Lady
until she reached a spot near the back
door-where Ben conjectured that Tim
had made. the first spring at her to
seize ter-and here she would tremble
and snort with terror, crouch almost to
the ground and refuse to move.
Fortunately it occurred to him to tie
his handkerchief over her eyes, and by
doing this, he coaxed her almost to the
door. Just at hat moment Robert
caught sight of Pilots black head over
Ben's shoulder, and wild with excite
ment, began 20 shout:
STEADY, Pilot! Ho, boy! Ho, boy!"
Hearing his well-known stable
call, Pilot answered with a cheerful lit
tie vhinny, and Lady took a step for
ward, and finally both were across the
threshold and saved from the fire.
If the mare had not retained S vivid
a remembrance of her old foe, Gypsy
Tim would have had her out of the
burning stable and far away owe the
moors before Ben got in, and would
never have been suspected of the theft.

a farmer, a stout, muscular man, rode
up and. recognizing Gypsy Tim, made
him give up the mare, which he aid
with reluctance.
White Lady gave him a savage little
snip rs he passed her. and from that
day, if she happened to see him, even
in the distance, she would put back her
ears in displsasure and snort.
There happened to be a country fair
held at the little town of Craig1e, one
or two miles from the station, a few
months later. Mr.. Shurtleff drove some
of his friends over to see 1t. The inn,
though small, was comfortable, and
they had made their plans to spend the
night there.
One of the men had a noble black
horse called Black Pilot, and Ben and
the boy that took charge of this horse
had become great friends.
When they left the stable at night it
was pretty to see Pilot and White Lady
rub their heads against their friends.
Ben slept soundly, but when he
awoke it was with a fearful start. That
red glare through the window was no
the light of morning, and what meant
those trampling feet and the dreadful
cry Of "Fire?"
Rushing out, he found a crowd in
front OF the stable, and a cloud of
smoke and flame pouring from window
and 0Oor.

A Chance for Reform.

If there is any truth in the state
ment OF the small boy whose speech is
reported in the Washington Star. the
political situation in some parts OF our
country needs looking into. The his
tory class in one of the public schools
of the city had just concluded a reel
tation the other day, when the teach
or took advantage of a few spare min
utes to test the knowledge of her pu-
pills concerning the form of the dis
trict government.
In whom is the governing power OF
this city vested?" was the first Ques-
ton.
Silence reigned for a moment. Then
little Tommy's hand went up, and to
the teachers well, Tommy" the fol-
lowing answer was v~ouchsafed:
1.-THE governors of the district are
three missionaries, two from civilized
life, and one from the Injun corpse"

HERE AND THERE.

In starting a herd the most i'm
portant thing is a good start in the
! foundation stock. High-class heads Of
the herd are absolutely necessary for
good results.
Don't be narrow minded. 1t leads
to ruts. Be willing to be convinced. A
broad tire will carry a heavy load
| safely where a narrow one will sink
under one lighter.
There are more things a farmer Is
said never to appreciate until he has
had and lost them-running water, a
good fruit supply, abundant shade
trees and a convenient woodlot.
The apple blight continues to de-
| velop and is seriously threatening the
crop of Tennessee, and conditions
seem alarming. Pear trees are also
said to be affected in many parts Of
the state.
The value of farm property in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Texas increased $706, 00O, 900 in 1900
over 1890. While the valuation of farm
property in 1890 was $1,347, OO0, 900
more than it was in 1880.
Suitable farms and outbuildings-
are as much a necessity as anything
else with the agriculturist. They are
an essential part of his stock in trade,
and to keep them in repair should be
one of the duties which should without
fail be given attention.
japanese clover will grow on al
most any kind of soil without any

tein for stock as red clover.

The Onion Mauuot.

Every onion grower should prepare
to combat this destructive pest and
begin early. The onion maggot is the
immature stage of a small fly that lays
eggs in the onions when they are very
small. The fly looks something like a
small house-1y. The maggot appears
sometimes when the plants are quite
young and works directly into the bulb
entirely destroying it for use. OF
course all infested plants should be
carefully taken out and burned as soon
as discovered.
Treatment with kerosene and sand
for small patches of onions and treat
ment with commercial fertilizers for
large fields is recommended, says The
Farmers Home Journal. The kerosene
and sand treatment consists of placing
moistened sand with kerosene Oil
alongside the young plants, but not
quite touching them. 1t keeps the flies
from laying their eggs and kills sonic
young maggots out right. Use a cup
full of oil to a bucketful Of dry SAND.
The fertilizer treatment is as fol-

much talk there was little action. At
any rate nobody showed any intention
of plunging into the barn. This was
the situation that Ben, despite the

One sound tore Ben's heart. 1t was
Lady's piercing neigh, heard above all
the din. He knew that she was calling
him. But how could he reach her? 1t
was impossible to get through the SUI

At this moment he caught a glimpse
Of one or two lurking forms in the

AXE at His Word.

A young motorist was endeavoring
to convince a country innkeeper that
the decay of coaching was more COM
,ensated by the spread of motoring
as a pastime, says a writer in the
st. James Gazette. AS a final argu-
ment, he stated that his car was of
40 horsepower, "the equal, sir, Of ten
relays of coach horses"
The next morning he read in his
bill: ITO feeding and stabling, 80
shillings." He asked the landlord for
and explanation.
1.-THE charge for 'osses, sir, is two
shillings a head, sir" was the reply.
"And I've your word, sir, that hat
machine is the same as 40 'orses. sir.
so it comes to 80 shillings."

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS:
Mississippi College.

The report OF President w. T. Low
rey of Mississippi College formed an in
teresting feature of the Baptist State
convention in session at Vicksburg.
There were $50 pupils enrolled at the
college last year, and it was hoped that
the number would be increased to 400
next session. The income from rents
and other sources had been sufficient to
meet all running expenses. The pres
emit endowment of the college was $780,
945.47, and of this amount S66 1852 II
had been added to the fund during the
past five years. .
The report stated that the Jennings
family of Water Valley, who had prom
ised 800, 900 for a memorial hall to the
late Capt. q. T. Jennings, had already
paid to the college $40, 900 of this
amount and would pay the additional
10000 before the next year. The Gen.
eral Educational Society having prom
ised the college $4,000 on the condition
that $4,000 be raised by the college
before the end of this year, approx
mately $4,000 had already been SUBJ
scribed for the college. The $4,000
given the college endowment fund by
Andrew Carnegie was also dependent
or the raising of this $75, 900 by the col
lege.
The convention was asked to set aside
the coming November as college month,
when the collections would be taken up
in the various Baptist churches of the
State for the benefit Of the Baptist in
situations of learning.
