An unmistakable smoker from the

looked up quickly and saw Isabel's
face lit up with rainbow smile as
she sat blissfuily perusing scrap Of
paper before her, utterly obliyious to
her surroundings. In vain William
tried to signal a wireless message of
warning to his partner in sorrow.

Isabel jumped guiltily and stuffed
The paper into her desk.
Bring me that note Immediately.
Isabel gave a scared questioning
look at William, who had slid down
in his seat until only his coarse mop
Of red hair bristied warningly over
the top of his shelterlng book, then
she slowly took the note to the
teacher

Morris as soon as she could speak
with reasonable amount of dignity.
"And, William, no other apology is
necessary"

MUSKMELONs.

The best soil for melons is a light.
sandy loan, well enriched with man
ure. When only heavy soil is avail
able, the dirt where the seed is to be
planted should be thoroughly pulver-
lied and mixed with fine, well rotted
manure. A sprinkling of leaf mold
will help tighten it.
On a hill so prepared from ten to
fifteen seeds may be sown. 1t should
be thinned to four or five vines when
the danger of insects is over. 1t is a
good plan to start the seed in a hot
bed, using fresh sod cut into six-inch
pieces, placing them grass side down
in the hotbed and sowing eight to ten
seeds in each piece. Cover with two
inches of light SOIL When damage
of frost is over, these sods may be
carefully lifted and set in the pre-
pared hills. The plants usually grow
without check and bear fruit from
two to four weeks ahead of those
grown in the open. Indianapolis

CARE on RHUBARB.

Two dozen good rhubarb roots
will supply a large family, will live
for years and yield abundantly. Rich
mellow soil is needed. Spade out
bed three feet deep, fill in with well
rotted manure to within foot of the
level, throw in the top soil and set
in rhubarb roots with the crowns
four inches below the surface, firm
ing them with the feet The stalks
should not be cut for use until the
second year, but the first as well as
the succeeding fail some coarse man
ure should be thrown over the
crowns, to be forked or seeded in
lightly when spring opens. In grow
ing seeding rhubarb the seed must
be sown in a cold frame in March or
April, protected from freezing, and
in two months the plants will be
ready to set in rows, twelve inches
apart. Washington Star.

HOW 10 PLANT CURRANTs.

Being one of the hardest and most
productive of fruits, the currant is
often neglected, the patch allowed to
become foul with grass, never
thinned or trimmed, the leaves worm
eaten until the plants die.
Don't plant currants or any other
fruit along the fence Set them out
in the open at. least five feet from
anything that will interfere with Gull
tlYation, No fruit will more readily
respond to care than the currant.
Clean cultivation and liberal use
OF fertilizers will certainly be fol-
lowed by good crops. One or two
year-old plants may be set out Axe
feet. Trim the bush by cutting off
most of the suckers below the sur
lace of the ground. If the season is
dry, mulch of straw or leaves will
assist the plants to establish them
selves.
Red and white currants bear
mostly on two year or older wood.
A succession of young shoots should

A currant patch should continue
in good bearing for ten to twenty
years if properly handled. One inn

To combat the currant worm, spray
thoroughly with Paris green to kill

can be seen in the lower leaves. II
a second brood appear, spray with

THE VALUE OF TREES.

When people move into new house
there is something that they gener-
ally neglect, or at least leave till the
last. That is the study and care of
the trees that are planted on the
street line. AS matter Of fact,
these should be attended to first. The
garden can be made and remade any
number of times. The trees are there
to stay. The trees on the street have
more to do with making or marring
the effect of house than the garden
has, in many cases. See that the soil
around the street trees is dug deep
at least once a week and to at least
the depth of half the spade. Prune
them every fall. In the spring kill
off all the winter killed wood. Tie
a band OF cotton around each one
about five feet up the trunk early in
the spring, to prevent caterpillars
from climbing up. Watch for borers.
Five minutes of attention a day may
save your trees. And in a few years
your house will be worth from one
to five per cent. more than one that
has neglected trees in front of it

CHARACTER IN THE FACE
Points For the Manageable Worked
Out by an Englishwoman.

OuC ny an ILDSilSilWO0laDs
The face as a map of character
and disposition is the subject of an
elaborate study by an glishwoman.
She holds that the reading of the
features can be reduced to an exact
science.
There is an elaborate classification
Of eyes. Among the broad deduc-
tons is the dictum that dark eyes in
variably indicate a strong, passionate
nature, while light blue ones show a
calculating, cool and resolute charac-
ter
Light brown eyes are signs of in
telligence, fancy, fckleness in love
and a rapidly fuctuating tempera-
ment. A sure indication OF oratorical
gift is projecting eyes, and they also
betoken literary skill in the use of
language.
A strongly developed nose is a
mark of superior endowments The
owner of big nose has more energy
than the owner of a small one.
The majority of men who have be-
come renowned as rulers and leaders,
it is pointed out, had big noses
Caesar Wellington, Napoleon and
Nelson, for example A man with
modest intellect and a big nose can
always be reckoned on to make more
of mark than a man with a great
brain and little nose.
The nostrils also have their signifi-
canoe, Large nostrlls indicate cour-
age; little ones, cowardice. Long
narrow ones show activity and bodily
yigor Broad nostrils opening to-
ward the sides show a prediction for
horses.
Mouth and lips are full of suggest
iveness. The man with a hanging
underlip is apt to lack perseverance
and concentration of purpose. The
modest individuals lower lip is ha-
bitually pressed close against the up
per lip at the centre.
The sentiment of hate causes a
hard dropping of the lower lip so as
to show the teeth Persons who hab-
ltualy show the teeth in this way are
apt to be malevolent.
The chin and lower jawbone are
important indexes of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
jawbone broadens clear back to the
level of the wisdom teeth. This is
true, both Of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiable
spirit in his sweetheart must choose
a girl with gently curving lower lips
and full and well rounded chin: her
eyes must be soft and brown. If he
desires great consistency, he must look
carefully to the spread of her lower
jaw. Economy is promised by a wild
ening of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young wom-
an who desires an industrious hus-
band should choose a man with long
upper lip If she desires even good
temper in her spouse, she had best
choose one with round face and curly
hair.-New York Sun.

MINNESOTA
HISTORICAL
SOCIETY.

Beers, who was wounded in the left
arm.
Rose Beers was also arraigned at
the same time charged with attempting
to kill said Ferdinand Flory by dis
charging a revolver at him.
Both defendants waived examina-
ton and furnished bail bonds of 500
each to appear in district court next
week.
The mixup appears to have been a
sort of neighborhood row in which
not only Ferd Flory and the Beers
girl was engaged, but the father of
the latter was also stabbed in the head
with the pitchfork by Flory.
Sheriff Shockley was called to the
scene of the trouble by 'phone on Sat-
urday night and Beers son, who was
dispatched from Brickton to report
the row to the authorities here, ar
rived before the sheriff started for
that place. The boy was much excited
and told the sheriff that his sister and
father had probably been murdered.
The sheriff, upon arrival at Brickton,
discovered that Rose Beers had been
stabbed in the arm and that her father
had received injuries in the head from
some sharp instrument, alleged to be
a pitchfork, but Flory seemed to have
sustained no injury from the shot al
legged to have been fred by Rose
Beers.
The warrants we're sworn out by
Rose Beers against Ferdinand Flory
and by Ferdinand Flory against Rose
Beers,
