suiter who seemed to be particularly
recalcitrant about buying extravagant
presents, Mrs. Verrault, who was al
ways able to corral the most obstrep

use her persuasive influence.
Mrs. Verrault used to go out often
er than Mrs. Brown. with the infat
uated lovers. She would always wear
a heavy veil and would tell her spell
bound admirer that she did 1t to keep
her wicked brothers from seeing her
These relatives, she said, were always
trying to make trouble for her. They
were scheming to get part of the es
tate left her by the rich husband she
said had died. Often when out with
one suitor dining at a fashionable
cafe she would be startled to find
another sweetheart sitting idly at a
nearby table. She would then hurry
the dinner through on pretense OF
feeling faint and would hasten home
with her escort.
Ingenuity Exercised In
Receiving the infatuated.
Both widows" had to exercise some
ingenuity in receiving the society
women whom they had on their string.
These members of the 400" they
met through the medium Of adver-
tisements, and used them as a means
of getting unlimited credit for expen-
sive dresses. They had to arrange
1t so that these fashionables would call
in the afternoon, for at night the par
lors were given up to the explicit
use of the love victims.
There were many exciting scenes
at the front doors of the establish.
ment run by the syndicate on West
Seventy-third street and later at No.
323 West Eighty-second street. Dis
appointed lovers who had handed over
to the syndicate much Of their money
used to storm on the front stoop and
threaten to dynamite the mansion II
their lady love would not see them.
Roebrt Emmett Keene was quite diplo-
matte In handling these excited in
divid uals and managed to save the
house OF love from an explosion.
The parlor in which the lovelorn
admirers were received had a mas
sive mantel adorned with gold orna-
ments. Upon 1t would be placed pho
tographs of the callers, particular care
being taken that the right picture was
in the right place for the occasion.
Count Zolinoff, the Fifth avenue deli
catassen dealer, had his photograph
taken In 81 different styles and would
insist that Mrs. verrault, whom he
was courting, should have them all In
plain evidence around the room.
Don't you think take good pic
ture?" he would ask.
You're the sweetest thing In the
world" Mrs. verrault would reply.
Then she would get the promise Of
another expensive present.

Nothing Succeeds Like "Eee-o-sEE."

Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE."
The man who breaches the best
sermon; the man who tells the fun
niest stories; the man who keeps the
best store, or the man who makes
the best goods, soon finds that people
come to him. Merit is the best ad-
vertisement in the world. People
speak we'll of things they know are
good. They pass the good word
along.
The best breakfast food is "EGG-O-
SEE, for it contains all the life-giv-
ing properties of natures best food,
which is Wheat.
EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to
the thousands of wives and mothers
who use 1t in their homes, for these
good women tell their neighbors about
this great food.
Children and aged persons alike
are friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are things
that advertise EGG-O-SEE most.
EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent pack
age contains ten liberal breakfasts.
EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere.
Grocers must keep it If they want
to keep their good customers, for good
customers insist on buying EGG-O-
SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking, is required, makes EGG-O.
SEE very popular. Open the pack
age; put in as much as you like in
dish; pour on milk or cream and
eat. 1t is delicious. 1t is wholesome,

MAKES DINNER OF CHEMICALS

Prof. Stillman, a New York
Chemist, invited some friends to a
dinner the other night and they
were warm in their praise of it.
They had nice, crisp biscuit, gold
en- yellow butter, delicious rasp-
berry jelly and pineapple sherbet,
and the cocktails were just right.
But the biscuit contained no flour,
there was no butter in the butter,
the Jelly and sherbet had never
seen raspberry or a pineapple
and the cocktails had never known
a distillery or even a saloon. Prof.
Stillman had served his guests
with a dinner composed entirely
of artificial chemical compounds.
He was his own cook and his kitch-
en- was his laboratory. If Prof.
Stillman wants wealth he should

"rEN ACRES ENOUGH"

Forty years ago a book was pub
lished under the above title. 1t
attracted Il good deal Of attention
and may be said to have marked
the beginning Of the agitation for
intensive farming in the South. For
some years the book has been out
of print, but the Cultivator Com
pany of Atlanta, has just put out
another edition, brought down to
date. And there can be no doubt
that it will be followed by good
results. 1t contains a clear and
concise record of how small farm
was made to support a large fami-
ly in very comfortable manner.
1t is risking nothing to say that
the average Southern farm might
be made smaller with good results;
that is, it is not fertilized and cul-
tivated as carefully as a smaller
farm under the same management
would probably be if the livelihood
Of management depended upon the
crops.
The thriftiest farmers in the
world are the Chinese, the Dutch,
and the French. The recuperative
power of France after her war with
Germany was the wonder of the
world, and it is attributed to the
fact that the small farmers of the
country had each a little money
that could be spared for the pub
lie need. In France the avera ge
farm is only a few acres in extent.
In Holland the average farm is
smaller than in France, while in
China a single acre is frequently
made to support family of several
persons. -- -- -~
In the South farm of forty
acres is called small, and one of
100 acres is regarded as being
hardly above the average.
And the Southern farmer who
can produce results amounting to
$40 per acre from his land thinks
himself very fortunate, but that
isn't fair return at all. The "Ten
Acres Enough the author takes
the position a reasonable one
it is-that the average farmer
could let half his farm run to grass
or grow up in trees and make
money by it, giving as much time
and attention to the half remain
ing under cultivation as he gave
formerly to all.
Our farming methods have here
tofore lacked thoroughness. We
have worked by "rule o. thumb"
We have taken things as they came
and trusted to luck for the results.
What we really need is fewer acres
under cultivation and better care
taken of them. Fifty acres well
fertilized and well cultivated viii
produce more than 100 acres lack

Now is the time when the strug-
