,ier' came FROM When the traveller
lelIOed the house, the answer came
rom within, Who's yer?' And, as
,ured it was not an Indian, the cabin
lOOr opened and the stranger shared
the best the family could give, wheth-
er or not he could pay for it. Soon
these hospitable people were known
by their call, or, as it was spelled,
'HOOsiers.' But to return to my tied
horse One man would ride about
three miles to a tree. The other trav-
eler would walk on and find the horse,
mount him, ride on, passing his
friend, and tie when several miles had
been travelled"
''That was no better than walking,"
cried Tom. "One man got there as
soon as the other"
That was just the principle" eX-
planned grandfather; land a very good
one to follow through life. Instead of
one man riding all the way and the
other walking, each rode half the way
and came i'm on the home stretch about
the same time. because these early
settlers were willing to share what
they had. People who are willing to
ride and tie give other folks chance,
too.
Helen. who was listening with inter
est, looked at her mother thOughtfully.
Mrs. Gordon happened to sit where
strong light fell upon her face. The
Dung girl had not noticed before how
old and care-wOrn her mother had be-
come. nor how gray the beautiful,
fluffy hair had grown during the years
Helen had been away at school. Hell
en- could remember when her mothers
cheeks were as plump and rosy as her
own. + i
Mamma must be in poor health
to look so tired" the daughter decid-
ed, after regarding her mother care
fully. perhaps it is because she has
been sewing SO steadily to get me
,eady for my visit
Helen was to have month in
Boston, and only a western girl who
has never seen the mountains or
ocean can imagine what this meant.
The one rich relative of the family
lived in Boston and she had sent
check to Mrs. Gordon, her sister, with
the request, eff you cannot come,

''It would better be Helen" said the

as she expects to teach, this is her
best opportunity to visit her aunt"
Helen demonstrated feebly that
Mamma had not seen Aunt Hattie for
years. and had been doing extra work
since papa had lost so much money.
Il am used to helping with the
cooking, caring for the children, and
sewing every spare moment, but you
have not had such things to do, and it
would wear you OUT urged the moth
er.
Helen was to take the place of a
high school teacher, who was to marry
in the spring, and she decided that
when she began to earn money her
mother should have more competent
help. Helen hoped this supply work
would lead to some permanent posi-
ton. The Boston visit would help her
i'm her work in literature, she was
certain, so it was not wholly selfish to
go.

Peanuts.


Few people who buy bag of pea
nuts on the street for five cents real
lie the extent Of the peanut industry"
said A. p. Bryan, of Norfolk. Va. ut
is fact that the total sales of pea
nuts annually amount to between S.
100000 and $10,00O,00O. and some
statesmen sell as high as 100000
bushels each year.
THE seeds of the peanut are plant
ed like beans, and when the vines
have come up and the nuts are ready
for harvesting the farmer takes cul-
tfvator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the tap roof
of the vine. The same process Is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine. The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun about ten days, when
colored women and children are sent
into the field to pick the nuts from the
vines. An average picker will pick
about five bushels day for which he
is paid at the rate of 10 cents a bush
ell.
ut is not known how peanuts first
came to this country. Both Africa and
Asia claim the distinction of being the
home of this vegetable. Its first re-
cord in the United States dates back
to 1850. In 1861 the crop amounted
to about $4,000 bushels, but it was the
circus that really made the peanut
valuable article of commerce. At the
present time the crop amounts to
about 100000 bushels annually.
Virginia and North Carolina still
maintain their lead. but Tennessee
now raises about 100000 bushels,
though of an inferior quality. OF the
ordinary variety about % pounds
make bushel.''- Sentinel.

are. they appear to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
The calipee and calipash are respec-
lively the flesh from the breast and
the back of the green turtle, tid-bits
which ! have heard epicures say are
unequaled in the earth beneath, the
heavens above or the waters under the
earth. This meat is superlatively rich,
delicate and tender. Live green turtle
fetches wholesale from u dime to a
quarter pound.
What makes the meat so expensive
In the end is that out of a 14O- pound
fish you'll only get two pounds of
calipee and one of calipash. Several
times when there has been tight tur-
tie market the chefs of millionaires
and of certain extravagant hotels have
offered me 81 pound for live turtles.
At that rate your calipee and calipash
would come to quite $50 a pound

Signs Of, n Hard Winter.


That the coming winter is going to
be the hardest one for the past twen-
ty years there is an abundance of
signs to show, aud among them it may
be mentioned that
The corn husks are a foot and
half thick. and all the stalks lean to
the west.
That the one-eyed owls are leaving
the country month earlier than
usual, and the bob-tailed squirrels are
laying in sweet potatoes, as we'll as
nuts, for winter provisions.
The farmer who has taken the trou-
BILE to investigate has found that all
the toadstools on the old logs have
wrinkles on them. The last time that
this happened we had winter weather
that froze the handles of plows.
Rabbits are sitting around with
humped-up look to them. and field
mice have wrinkles in their tails. If
this means anything it means 20 de-
grees below zero from November
through to May.-Tyrone (Pa.), Her

public at the Presbyterian Assembly
at Des Moines in May follows:
