And that's the reason" answered
MIS-. Day, that | want to tell you
about him. The fact is, Jim was Tilted
last spring. She was one of the most
beautiful girls l have ever seen'-Mrs.
Day talked rapidly-''but none of us
wanted ,er She was selfish and
thoughtless and exacting, but jim never
saw It, He just adored her and follow
ed her about, and gloried in being her
slave, until we were all in despair"
Jim was the brother of Mrs. Days
husband, but, it was her way to take all
the responsibility, even Of her husbands
family 80 we were all very much re-
leved when she Tilted jim"
Lois was listening quietly, somewhat
1t loss to get the trend of these con-
fdcnces.
We were all rather glad, as l said,
except'-here Mrs. Day paused, then
plunged ahead-"eXcept for the dread
full effect 1t has had upon jim He
was heart-broken; he's young. you
know" This is apology to Lois smile.
And since then he has been perfectly
reckless"
Mrs. Day stopped for breath. 1t was
hard to say what she meant to say.
Lois. my DEAR" she finally contin-
ucd. don't let Jim make love to you at
camp. He has vowed to be revenged
on the whole race of women. and that
is the way he has taken to do it,
The first night at camp Lois had
cause to remember Mrs. Days warning
1t was a party Of lovers, all young mar.
rled couples or engaged, all except Lois
and Jim, the youngest. These tive
started up the lake in canoe, just as
the others did but when Jim suggested
that they drift, Lois felt a miSgiving
Jim must be made to understand. She
stopped his half-tender compliments
with warning hand.
Listen. jim she said. slowly ant
earnestly, your sister has told me-
about your trouble I'm not going tt
talk about that" she added hastily. a:
Jim frowned, but l want TO tell yol
this: Somewhere there is man that
love as dearly as you love this girl
For his sake and for hers, let's you anC
| help each other. want to be true
-diftidently it was hard to say-"anC
so. know, do you. Let us here an(
now promise to be just good comrades
Nothing more"
She looked at the boy with a brigh
smile and held out her hand He hest
tated 4 minute, then grasped her hand
Its go, Lois lie said.
And so it became the custom 70
these two youngest to entertain o
harass the others, as the mood seizet
them. On the water they sang an,
played on mandolins and guitars; il
camp they INDUCED in endless games o
cards, or got off jokes at the expens
OF the others. They earned the nick
name of the two young fellars," an,
al. mundane matters were left in thei
charge, such as the planning of trips

BY THE WAYStDE.

A little way, my dearie,
In the worlds gloom or CLEAN;
A few feet years of smiles and tears
And then--the last sweet dream.
A little way. my dearie-
God know from shore to shore,
And the shi.ss sight each other
On the di.l seas no more.
A little way. my dearie-
A way of love and trust
Then trust and love to heights above,
But, on this earth, to dust.
A little way, my dearie,
With flower, and field, and stream
VIII the heart be so weary
Twill ask an endless dream?

MIX Is Good for Fowls,

Sour buttermilk, or even whey
makes excellent feed for fowls, but ii
is much better to mix the ground grain
with it than to place il where they can
drink it, IN order to avoid waste, as
much of it is rendered filthy if placed
where the fowls have free access to it
An egg beaten in milk and thickened
with ground oats and meal of any
consistency will be eagerly eaten by
young chicks, but If cooked as bread
and crumbled it will be better.

A Good Time to Begin.

The market calls for a sheep with a
dark face and legs, and a close fleece
is an advantage also There never has
been a time when fair profit could not
be obtained from the keeping of sheep.
There are in the world to-day ninety
million fewer sheep than twelve years
ago, and the consumption Of mutton
and wool is rapidly increasing, hence
il is safe to conclude that sheep to the
farmer is a safe proposition. Do not
start on a large scale; begin low and
work up. The Western farmer does
not like to do this, and you are no ex
ception. You have never planted the
apple because you did not expect to
stay to eat the fruit You must rush
on and do big things. Do you not know
that in the animal world, as we'll as in
the vegetable world, rapid growth
means rapid decay? Plant this live
stock business and give it time to strike
its roots deep down, and after it is
fairly rooted allow the top to grow

Remedy for the Apple scab.

The Ohio Experiment Station has
demonstrated that the apple scab Is
the chief factor in the destruction of
the apple crop and that this fungus can
be kept under control by spraying
Four splendid successive crops were
produced on the sprayed trees at the
station, while the fruit on the IN
SPRAYED trees in the same and neigh
boring orchards was worthless. The di-
rector, Prof. Thorne, however, calls at
tention to the fact that exhaustion of
soil fertility, want of water and in
sect ravages may all cooperate with
scab or other fungus growth in short
ening the crop, and says: IF our or
chards are again to produce the great
crops Of early days, we must, in so far
as possible, restore the soil conditions
OF those days; we must avoid the waste

fail is scanty by preventing the growth

by keeping the surface in such conH.

Of cowpeas convenient to pasture with
hogs, l turned them in, both large and
small There being clover, timothy
and blue grass in the same field, l gave
nothing else but water. The sows
were in good condition when turned in
and when the peas were gone they
would have weighed probably fifty
pounds each more than when turned
on the peas. The pigs are now arriv-

VIII II eep Up Fight.

Although the hands of the revolution
lists were forced suddenly by the pre-
mature rising at Sveaborg, they are I'M
daunted at -hese initial reverses, and
intend to persist in their program. One
of the leaders of the revolutiOnists
boosted that the word had gone forth
and that the fire of revolt would spread
to the corners of the empire. His clos
ing words were: Nov watch Reval,
Niga and Libau.'
The mutiny on the cruiser Pamyat
Azova caused great uneasiness for a
time, as it is not known how far the
disaffection in the navy will spread.
The cruiser, however, arrived in the
rOadstead at Reval in possession of the
loyal portion of her crew, which gained
the upper hand after a fight at sea. 1t
is not known how many were killed.
Five of the ships officers are reported
to have been slain.
When the firing began at Cronstadt
there ensued a wild panic in the impe-
rial palace at Peterhof, as the palace
lies under the guns of the fortress. All
preparations had been made in advance
to fee to Tsarakoe Selo, but the report
that the Emperor and his family ac-
tually had fed was denied later at the
chancellery of the imperial household
1t was explained. however, that on ac-
count of 'dampneSs" at Peterhof ar
rangements had been made for the re
turn of the imperial family to Tsars-
koe Selo.
Martial law was proclaimed at Cron-
stadt and all day long re-enforcements
were landed there from the mainland.

without a pass.

KILLING DnndeIinnS.

Many inquiries have been addressed
to this department asking for advice
on how to kill dandeliOns in lawns.
The best means, of course, and surest,
is to dig them up, root and all. This
is tedious, however, and expensive.
Try, in case the digging process is not
employed, the sulphate of iron solution.
Use good-sized handful to three gal
Ions of water and sprinkle this over an
area twenty feet square 1t will not in
jure the grass and will kill the dande-
lion-at least some Of them.

punches on Cherry Trees.

The best remedy for the large punches
which grow upon the limbs altI trunks
of cherry trees is to saw the wart off
very smoothly, close TO the wood. The
wound will usually heal over as readily
as when limb has been cut away As
preventive the tree should be kept
in a rapid growing condition.
