KIM 4LFONSO'S STOPPING.
A Paris Millinery Shop Startled by
Visit From the Spanish King.

An amusing anecdote is related in
connection with King Alfonso's recent
visit to Paris. In his leisure moments
he was fond of taking a turn in the Rue
de la PAX, which is noted for its ele-
giant shops, and making a few pur-
chases. His majesty's appearance nat
urally created a good deal of %flutter,
especially among the demoiselles de
magasin, who rushed to doors and Win
dows to see him go by, so when three
gentlemen stepped into a certain estab-
lishment one morning and the most
youthful of the party asked to see some
hats they were politely requested, as
the most natural thing i'll the world, to
wait a moment, as the king was in the
street, and the girls were all watching
for him. The knowing smiles which
thereupon pervaded the features OF the
little party had the effect of promptly
putting the quick-witted shop girls on
the scent. After announcing the great
news excitedly to the proprietor OF the
establishment they clustered in a ring
round King Alfonso and his compan-
ions.
This was a thousand times better

what an honorl Only to think of the
Spanish sovereign walking in such
simple fashion into their shop. And
what followed delighted them wen
more. The mistress of the place had
advanced, and, courtesying low, had ut
tered one of those pretty compliments
which our French friends have so
glibly at tn tip of their tongues, when
his majesty smilingly replied: Il wish
to see some hats. | want three; one
for my mother, in rather a quiet style;
one for my sister, and one for my aunt,
and please put them all up together in
the same box" The masterpieces of
the shop were presented and inspected.
The selection of the three hats took
some time, as the young king is not &C
customed to that sort of work, and in
his dilemma he exclaimed: well, |
was never so puzzled in my lifep
Finally the choice was made, and with
the request that the hats should be
sent at once to the hotel, King Alfonso
took his departure, leaving the mistress
of the establishment and her young
women charmed with their experience.

There is a farm in southeastern
Pennsylvania which the Department
of Agriculture considers a model TWEEN
tieth century farm. 1t consists OF nj
teen acres. thirteen of which are IN
cultivation, the remaining two acres
being occupied by buildings, yard, etc.
This land came into the possession OF
the present owner-a minister OF the
Gospel-in 1881 with a mortgage OF
1920 upon it.
Improving the Soil.
The soil of the farm is a reddish
somewhat grayelly clay. So Il dow
was it in 1881 that it did not support
the two COWS and one horse kept upon

age for thirty head Of stock, seventeen
of which are COWS in milk. 1t has
been brought up to its present remark
able state of fertility solely by the use
of stable manure applied directly from
the barn. The system of handling THIS
manure is such that none is lost, either
LIQUID or solid. No commercial fertll-
izers have ever been used n no ma
nure has been hauled from the city.
This is a practice greatly differing
from that in vogue on the majority OIL

lEWISTOWN AN EDUCATIONAL
AND HOME CITY.

Among the great possibilities ahead
for Lewistown are those OF becoming
an educational center, and a city of
homes for those who have retired from
the activities of life.
Already our excellent public schools
and the Fergus County Free High
school are proving a magnet that
draws many here from the outside
during large part of the year, giving
the city an educational air that has
been noted and commented upon by
many.
1t is something that should be ell
couraged and fostered in every legit-
mate way, as it will prove a great
gain to the city from an educational,
moral and financial standpoint. 1t may
be possible, in the near future, to Sc.
cure the establishment here of some
UNCONVENTIONAL institution which
would prove an additional attraction
to those who would prefer school or
college under sectarian CONTROL and

the employment of Americans and 9th

as much from necessity as anything
else. American capital has done much

spirit by calling a conference of the

be admitted that he has some treach-

which to deal.

Some Democratic papers are trying
to make a little political capital out
of the fact that under the provisions
of the law passed by congress, the
government is to bear the cost Of
meat inspection instead of the pack
ers. The livestock interests of the
country saw danger in compelling the
packers to bear the cost, as ultimately
it would have to sustain the loss when
it came to marketing their products.
While many believed with President
Roosevelt that the packers should bear
the cost of inspection the important
thing was to get a law passed that
would correct existing evils and restore
normal conditions as soon as possible,
and without inflicting further injury
to the livestock industry.

Corydon, Ind, July 26.-Miss Hal.
lie Matthews has made a statement
explaining her action in attempting
to kill her father, Halleck Matthews,
at New Amsterdam, July 4.
Miss Matthews is school teacher
"a years of age. Her father is one
OF the leading men of the village of
New Amsterdam. About a year ago
his wife died and few months later
Matthews began paying court to
pretty young woman of the village.
His daughter objected, and when it
was finally announced that they were
to be married, Miss Matthews openly
declared that the prospective bride
could never enter their home.
July was the day set for the we'd
ding. Matthews was standing before
mirror, making his toilet, when he
saw the reflection TO his daughter
with shot gun in her hand enter the
room. He quickly turned and as he
did he struck the gun barrel with his
arm. At the same instant his daugh-
ter pulled the trigger. Only a small
part of the load struck Matthews and
he was not seriously injured.
Miss Matthews says that she fully
intended to kill her father and that
she did not think of her reflection in
the mirror when she entered the
room. The gun had but one barrel,
and she carried a shell in her hands,
with which she intended to shoot her
self after she had killed her father.
The wedding was postponed and
