A Little Tragedy.


Though old and fat. he was a. Million

She was young, beautiful, with violet
eyes, a scarlet mouth, and hair Of dull,
pure gold.
She did not, could not, love him; yet
she was so poor that she had to wear 81
shoes and eat patent breakfast foods
which she prepared over the gas Jet in
her little room; while as for him, had he
not motor cars, a yacht, a marble palace
at Newport and an opera box?
Sometimes, looking at the old man, she
thought of all these things.
She would not, could not, Civ him love,
but
Smoking a 25-cent cigar he entered the
office.
Why did her heart beat faster? Why did
a delicate flush stain her cheeks ivory
pallor?.
Surely he was smiling at her strangely.
He drew nearer. His eyes We're fixed upon
her as in awe and wonder. 1t was as
though he had never really beheld her
before.
And bending over her, he murmured:
81 have a ribbon-a blue ribbon-for
you"
Why did her heart sink?
Alas, twas but a typewriter ribbon and
hurriedly inserting it in her machine, she
resumed her weary and monotonous toll.

There is In uncommonly large acre
Of oats in this season, and with
present prospects Of a light hay crop.
1t will be good business to store away
a nice lot of bats in sheaf. When the
crop is to be fed in this ann II
should be cut while the straw Is rather
green-about the time the berry Is In

secure the crop. at this stage, for the

in rather small bundles and let the
bundles stand in the shock until well

oats make splendid feed and will carry

EARLY CUTTING OF ALFALFA.

Many start out with i'm
pressions about cutting alfalfa. They
because Of its great feeding value and
that some three or four cuttings may
be taken from the field during one
season. II 0 want a strong, vigorous
stand of alfalfa, don't be in too big
a hurry to clip it to get rid Of weeds,
or don't cut the crop from a newly
seeded field too soon. The crop should
be pretty well matured before it is
cut. 1t is important tina the plant
be well established and the crown buds
set for subsequent crops. before the
first crop is taken off. After the first
year. three or fol- cuttings may be
made, providing that each one is done
at the right time.
