Ie NuptlaI KNOT.
Since the Days Of Dick Turpin and
Claude Duval the methods of the high.
wayman have shown but little variety!
An exception to this general rule OF
the road must be noted In the case Of
the pastor of a rural New York charge.
whose duty recently led him along
lonely highway near the village Of
Hopewell in that state. It was even3
ing and was unusually dark for the
hour. The pastor, his mind engrossed
by his errand. was quietly trudging
along. when, without warning, two un.
pleasant looking strangers sprang from
the wayside bushes and halted him.
They were powerfully built fellows
and the pastor was unarmed. He felt
that discretion was the better part OF
valor, and prepared to hand over his
modest valuables. Are you a par.
SOM" one of the highwaymen demand.
cd. The pastor ad,uit+ed the fact. and
no doubt hoped it would secure him a
rebate of some sort. you are the
very man we want" said the other
highwayman. He whistled softly and
two young women suddenly emerged
from the shadows. 1--WE want you to
marry US and do it as speedily as pos.
sible," said the first highwayman.
Whereat the relieved pastor. having
no desire to argue the matter. hastily
performed the double marriage cere'
mony for the clippers, and was reward
ed with substantial fee. Then tho
wedding party babe him good night
and disappeared in the gloom, leaving
the pastor to resume his lonely Jour.
ney along the dusky highway.-Cleve

Alfalfa on UpIands.

Even in the drier sections it is
being found that some soils will
grow fair alfalfa without irriga-
ton. This is not always the
case, and one must not for a mo-
.ment suppose that as heavy
yields can be secured en- high,
dry land, as on low or irrigated
land.
Even in the dry, dusty Spo-
kane and Big Bend country,
where green pastures are almost
wholly unknown, alfalfa is prov
ing a fair crop without water.
Referring to recent experiments
there the Wilson Creek Chiefsays:
The idea that alfalfa can be
raised on the uplands without
irrigation is being demonstrated
in the case Of C. q. Haskins near
krupp. Three years ago he
sowed twelve acres Of the best
land on his ranch to alfalfa,
merely as an experiment., and
has now one of the prettiest
fields in the county.
