Took Him at His Word.
From the Express Gazette.

Pau Morton, at a convention of railroad
men, said of the railroad hog:
~ wish that all these men could be
treated as a certain Marylander once was.
THE Marylander boarded a train with
two armloads of indies He sat down
and piled his bundles beside him. Then
he opened a paper and began to read in
great comfort
THE car by degrees grew crowded. AT
last the only vacant seat was the bundle
filled one beside the Marylander. Though
several passengers h~esitated beside this
seat, looking at the Marylander wistfully,
he made no sign. He would rather let
the people stand than remove his goods.
Finally some one summoned the con-
ductor. He hurried in and said:
Take down those bundles, please, at
once. Don't you see. sir. that there are
ladies standing all about you?
What is the matter with you? Those
bundles don't belong to me. They belong
to a man in the smoker
".All right said the conductor. I'll
pile them up here, then, till he comes.
And he put the bundles In the rack
overhead and gave the vacant seat to a
lady.
1.-THE Marylander laughed because he
had not had to move his bundles himself;
but, When he came to get off, he did not
laugh SO heartily. AS he was gathering
his precious pile together the conductor
hurried to him and said sternly:
Don't touch those packages. sir. They
belong to a gentleman in the smoking car.
".Ah, what's the matter with you?
snarled the other. They belong to me-
"sYou said they didn't, answered tbs
conductor. and I am going to take you a.
your word. The only way you can ge
them Is to come and identity them at oul
main office tomorrow

FINDS wife AND CHILD
LOST FIFTEEN YEARS;
FAKE WIRE PARTED
St. Andrews Delegate Finds
His Daughter a Govern
ment Clerk.

Florence, N, J. special: 81 shall return
to Washington to my daughter in q few
days. and as soon as she Is able to travel.
my wife. who lives on Twenty-second
street. New York, will join us there. And
then, after all these years of absence. and
all the heartache of fifteen years, we shall
be together once again, happy and re-
united.
Tears stood in the eyes OF Charles L.
Lewis, of this place, today when he told
OF his plans for gathering together the
little family which was so cruelty broken
up by the Vaccinations of q Jealous rela-
tive in England years ago. Until last
week he thought his wife and baby girl
dead, and his wife and daughter, believ-
ing that he had been killed long ago in a
railroad wreck, had almost forgotten him.
Stranger Than Fiction.
The story of the .eparation of the Lewis
family is stranger than fiction. In 1874,
when only IS years old. Lewis was first
married, and six years later, while he
was away from home, his wife, two sis
ters and her mother were killed In the
wreck of an excursion train.
In 1892 he married again in New York
his present wife, and here. a year later. q
baby girl was born, the young woman
who. the other day. Lewis found by chance
in a government office in Washington.
Two years after the marriage Lewis
wife fell heir to considerable property
through the death of a relative in Eng
land. Thinking 1t better to look after
her interests In person, she crossed the
Atlantic, leaving her little daughter with
relatives. Lewis himself took a business
trip through the west before her return,
and while away received kilograms stat
ling that both the wife and child had died.
These kilograms. as he has discovered
within the last few days, were sent by TN
English cousin, who was envious of the
share Of roperty which Mrs. Lewis had
received.
Feeling hi he no longer had ties
binding him to the east, Lewis remained
in the west several years. In the mean.
time, his wife returned to the United
States. but was met on her arrival by 9
telegram stating her husbarld had beer
killed In a railroad wreck.
Met Girl by Chance.
Several years ago Lewis came east ant
took up His residence in this place. Her
he joined the Brotherhood of st. Andrew
of st. Stephens church, of which he is
delegate to the national convention a
Washington.
- While sightseeing IN the capital. h,
met q u woman. whose name aroused
his curiosity. He asked her who he,
mother and father were. and was astound
ed TO learn that she was his own child.
Al She time Mrs. lewis was i'll in Ney
York and could moi be informed of he
husbands apparent return TO life. Mr.
Lewis returned here to arrange his affair,
80 that he may remove to Washington.

MORE and LARGER
DOCKS ARE Required
Modern War Vessels Have Out
grown Present Harbor
Accommodations.

One of the pressing problems of the near
future for all the great naval powers is
the provision Of docks adequate for the
large ships which are now being con-
structed.
The tendency to build larger vessels is
seen not only in battleships and armored
cruisers. says Casters Magazine, but also
in the smaller vessels specially designed
for torpedo warfare. The earliest Brit
ish submarine was a small vessel displac-
ing 120 tons. The latest development Of
the type displaces upward of 300 tons.
Again, the latest torpedo boats are larg-
err thar the torpedoboat d~estroyers of a
decade or so ago, and the most recent de-
stroyers now approximate in displacement
to third class cruisers.
For the present the British feet is, fair
ly we'll provided with large docks. Owing
to the recent completion of the dockyard
extension scheme at Davenport, at a cost
of about 100000 sterling, there are now
in the British empire thirteen government
docks and six colonial and private docks
which can take the Dreadnouglt, and
there are five other government and two
private docks In the United Kingdom as
well as two colonial docks which can ac-
commodate the Lord Nelson battleships,
which are eighty feet shorter and two and
a half feet narrower than the Dread
nought.
The idea Is that the British authorities
will initiate the forward policy initiated
with SO small success by the American
navy department in the case of the Dewey
and will construct several large floating
docks which can be moved from point to
point In accordance with the strategical
necessities of the moment. The same prob
lem of docking accommodation for these
huge ships will have to be solved by all
the great ava powers. and where suffi-
GENTLY sheltered waterways can be Sc
cured many ~gumen can be advanced
in support of the policy of movable docks
apart from considerations OF economy.
This tendency on the part of the British
authorities has already found expression
IN the construction of a large number OF
mobile repair ships for the torpedo t1otillas
and In the provision OF u floating Jock for
submarines.
Another step In the direction of in
creased mobility has been taken. There is
now nearing completion a remarkable sh!r
called the Cyclops. which may be styled
q seagoing d~ockyard.
This vessel has a displacement of IL 30
tons at a load draught of 81 feet. She il
400 feet long with a draught of as feet. ant
her machinery is expected to give a speet
of IL knots. For the Cyclop
viii carry only ten %3-poundcr quick firm
guns as a means of defense against attacl
by torpedo craft.
The interior of the ship n con
centratcd dockyard. The Cyclops is bein
equipped with carpenter. blacksmith an
arrnorer shops and a large foundry wher
rev casting can be made The vessel
5 also provided with equipment for dealin
with electrical work and has a copper
smiths Workshop. and she Is being fitte
: with a travelling crane. She is expected I
prove an Invaluable fleet auxiliary.

WHY SOME FARMERS FAIL.

While travelling around Wisconsin a
few years g [ was struck with the
businesslike methods of most farmers.
and the general air of progressiveneSS
that one would see almost everywhere.
But here and there one would see an
exception. We drove into one farm
yard where everything presented the
most forlorn appearance imaginable.
most forlorn appearance; and, al
though it was in a section where the
thermometer goes to 20 degrees below
zero, there were no walls or anything
else to prevent the snow and wind from
whistling under the building from one
side to the other. The machinery n
tools were scattered about; the stables
were miserable affairs, and everything
looked as if it had been neglected. In
the granary was stored 500 to 500
bushels of nice oats and about 1000
bushels of barley. By luck the oats
were dry, but the barley was burning
up. 1t had heated so badly that one
could detect the odor for three or four
rods. That barley was worth 80 cents
q bushel, yet two or three days heat
ing would lower the grade so that 1T
would have to be sold for feeding at
about rs cents a bushel. This is an
exceptional case, but it shows that a
good farmer must be something more
than a grower of crops. He must
know how to properly care for his crops
in order to sell OH the highest market.
Working all summer to produce a crop
Of barley and then permit it to heat
so badly that it's value is reduced Il
or Is cents a bushel, is hardly in keep
ing with my ideas of good horse sense.

SOWING RAPE in CLOVER.

Sometimes 1 wonder that we ever
get a stand of clover, for we are not
willing that the young plants have a
fair chance to live and we crowd
them to death or pasture them
to death. I noticed a 40-acre field the
other day. in central Illinois, where
clover .e-dd been sown with oats last
spring. The clover was showing nice
ly through the stubble all over the
field. but cattle were making way with
it. Rape had been sown in the stubble
and this was now about as high as
the stubble. The idea is, of course,
that the clover and rap will supply
q large amount of fall pasture. I do
not believe that a clover stand can
be we'll established by making pas
tire the first year paramount to get
ting a sturdy growth. That field of
clover will be pastured, no doubt, to
the limit, and when the Glove is all
eaten off the stock will be kept on
rap Glover must be given a fair
show the first winter if we expect
it to come through in good condi-
tjnn
