man of few words, Mr.. Warner went
away, leaving Mr.. Gates very much
bewildered.
But that Is very strange" he said,
pacing up and down the floor. How
did they suspect that I was partial to
this beautiful young woman? Is she
willing to become my wife on such
short notice? Ought I to take such

the minister.
"Don't speak of it," said Mr.. War

he, calling to his daughter, who was
in another room.
Mr.. Gates scarcely dared to glance
at Miss Warner, but she smiled and
bowed to him with the greatest COM
posture.
"There it is" said Mr.. Warner,
pointing his finger at the wall, "just
as my poor grandmother left it to
me, bronze frame and ALL"
"There is WHAT" asked the clergy

Farm Mistresses of the Future.

GILL VA SlAS ~ |
. Not a little is being done in these
days of practical education to make
it certain that the ambitious young
farmer in the great and growing
VESTS to have a help-meet as prac-
ticaf and withal, as ambitious and
worthy, as he is.
Many Young women who will come
to presi4e owe agricultural home,
steads in the next decade will be
vastly better fitted to assume such
responsibility than were their moth
ers.
The secret of the increased knowl-
ed e which tho. girls will bring to
their Life work in the farming Com
'munities is, found in the. special sys-
items Of education which have been In
troduced supplementary to the regu.
lar courses of instruction in many col
leges,: particularly in the Middle and
Western States. In 4these institu.
lions of learning the young ladies are
studying side by side with their bro~
theirs and gaining a. clearer insight
into the practical side of farm, hus-
DanQfv. -: i " r 4 :. - z
In this new idea of practical. edu-
cation for girls the fundamental prin-
ciple consists of giving sufficient in
struction relating to. soil, plant
growth and animal life to enable the
l.feminine student to understand the
partnership of nature in the farm.
| She is given an opportunity to learn
about crops and. stock, and the re-
ining processes which convert the
raw, material of the soil into, finished
forms wherein it reaches the. worlds
dinner table. The beauty of the plan
is that these girls schools, which are
almost invariably affiliated. with some
regular agricultural college, teach al
most solely by example. Text books
are not eliminated, but the lessons
which they furnish are illustrated by
actual experiment., either in the col.
lege workrooms or out in the open
fields. A share of attention is also
accorded to every household duty.
The young ladies who take the
course in cooking, for instance are
instructed first in kitchen manage
ment, care of cooking utensils, glass
china and silverWare; measuring ant
invoicing; cooking vegetables, cereals
and breads. Then follow canning
preserving, picking and jelly making
together with experimental work IL
the preparation of soups, eggs ant
meats.
At the outset Of her second yea
the young lady is given training II
marketing, the care of foods and coll
storage, and the problems presente'
by fruits, salads, hashes, "save all
dishes and the packing of lunch has
i kets. The closing months of tn
girls stay at the school she takes u
food rations, dietaries and bills Q
fare, invalid cooking, beverages, foo
economies, etc.; the chemistry an
economy ef human foods are aiso II
vestigated. All this is in three div
sions, household work, sanitaho
, and family life.

study are unfolded each year there

the city prison, lie suddenly con
ceived the idea that he would not
90 behind the bars. The chief
stepped up TO push him inside the
prison when Brewer swung his
right hand and landed upon the
chiefs jaw putting him down and
out. No sooner had he landed on
the chief than the young man
made dash for liberty and was
speeding westward on Fayette

boys in the fire department heard
the noise and rushed out after the
fleeing man; caught him and re-
turned him to the prison and
turned the keys on him.
The blow he struck the police
cut considerable cash on his jaw
and wounded his dignity badly.
Brewer faced Mayor Sharp the
next morning with fear and trem-
bling. He evidently expected
that his conduct would get him
pretty stiff sentence, but when
Mayor Sharp gave him the limit
800 and costs and six months in

breath.

Gambling In Rain.

Like the Chinese, the natives of
India are greatly addicted to gambling.
They have, indeed, one form of wager
which is peculiar to the country, and
which consists in betting on the
weather. This is called "sutta,' and
has one advantage over most forms of
gambling In that there Is no possibili-
ty of cheating, since there Is no
chance of controlling the results. The
sportsmen make wagers whether II
will rain or not, and also how much
rain will fall. the latter question being
settled by rain gauges. There Is great
excitement on cloudy days. The
gamblers rush To the offices or "dens'
and record their bets with the book
makers. Then. If the expected down
pour comes. anxious groups assemble
round the rain gauges. Even horse
racing, 1t is said, has not more fasci
nation for some of the gamblers.

Affection Between Senators.

There was sincere affection be-
tween the late Alabama senators, Nor
gan and Pettus. 1t Is said that Pettus
adored Morgan. He looked up to him
as few men look UP to other men.
When Morgan passed away the fading
old veteran lost all interest in life.
These things sound unbelievable, per-
haps, to skeptical modern time, but
Morgan and Pettus did not belong to
a modern time. They were relics of
an elder age. They passed away al
most together. The death of one pre-
ceded and, the Alabama men say.
brought about the death of the other.
Together they lie In Selma, where,
side by side, they lived for 40 years.

healthy bakeries have been discovered
in South Chicago and in Chicago by
Chief Sanitary Inspector, Charles 3.
Ball Ball appeared before the city
council committee on licenses yesterday
with a number Of photographs of dirty
and unhealthy Easements where the
bakers do their baking.
In many of the pictures showed back
grounds OF filthy rags, co6webs and
dirt
Ball explained that bread intended
for human beings was spread upon the
bare floors where everybody walked,
and that sickIy ill-kept children played
among the bread.
Il don't care to tell where saw all
this said the inspector, but these con-
ditions are to be found in all parts of
the c1ty-chiefiy in the poorer sections"
Bail asked the license committee to
pass an ordinance giving the city the
right to license bakeries. even IL the
fee is as low IS. In this way the
inspector claimed the city could revoke
licenses on all sanitary bakeries to PIE
serve the health of the citizens.
