Cost S65 to Jilt Man by Telephone

While Mrs. Clifton Clark Edwards, for
merly Miss Eva Blanche Curtis, of North
Attleboro, Mass, is on her honeymoon in
the South with an automobile salesman,
with whom she eloped few days ago, the
residents of this city and North Attleboro
are discussing the romantic incidents which
led to the runaway marriage.
1t has developed that it cost the former
Miss Curtis, daughter off millionaire, S65
for one telephone message by which she
Tilted Charles McKelvey, son of Pitts
burg steel king, and announced her inten-
tion of becoming the wife of the poor sales
man.
The story is that after Edwards had
superseded the Pittsburger in the girl s
affections McKelvey left for Pittsburg.
He wrote the girl letter, expressing his
affection. 1t was so appealing that she at
once called up on the long, distance tele-
phone. The couple talked about an hour
and a half, and when Miss Curtis was
handed the bill for $65 she found that in
her purse there was only S12.
She offered this as part payment, but
the telephone manager declined to take it.
Finally he called up Mr.. Curtis, had the
girl identified and permitted her to leave
without calling in the police. AS soon as
she reached home she sent check for the
remaining S53.
The couple will live in Providence after
the honeymoon at 247 Friendship street.
Mr.. Curtis and the family have forgiven
the elopers.

The Mule Industry.

Growing mules in Kansas and Missouri
is now one of their leading industries, and
Kansas City is the greatest mule market in
the world. Raising mules has many ad-
vantages over the horse industry. The
market for mules is as staple as that for hogs
or cattle. They are ready for market at
three years old or before. They do not
have to be broken, but are just driven to
the station and shipped like cattle. They
are usually sound and seldom get hurt.
They seem to know enough to steer clear
of barbed wires, and if they do get against
it they stop, never get excited and tear
themselves to pieces. Just now they are
in great demand at good prices; SlOO to
$3.50 is about the price paid. 1t costs less
to raise mules than colts, and they are more
quiet and seldom give trouble by breaking
out of Enclosures.
Weaning mules readily sell at $50 to S75,
and $40 is considered ample pay for cost Of
keeping until ready for market. They can
never be induced to eat as much grain as a
horse and seldom eat enough to hurt them,
selves. As soon as they are two years old
they are kept on the best pasture and fed
about all the grain they will eat, and as
soon as fat and slick they are ready for the
market, and buyers are always ready and
waiting for them. For these reasons it will
readily be seen that mules give far more
certain and greater profit than horses, and
/ often wonder that eastern farmers do no,
give them more attention.

Had a Long Root.

An Irishman, with one jaw very much
swollen from tooth that he wished to have
pulled entered the Office Of a Washington
dentist, says Success.
When the suffering Celt was put into
the chair and saw the cleaning forceps ap-
preaching his face, he positively refused to
open his smouth. Beinga man Of resource,
the dentist quietly instructed his assistant to
push pin into the patient leg, so that,
when the Irishman opened his mouth to
yell the dentist could get at the refractory
molar.
When all was over, the dentist smilingly
asked:
sIt didn' hurt as much as you expected,
did it?''.
s'Well, no, reluctantly admitted the
patient. But he added, as he ran his
hand over the place into which the assistant
had inserted the pin, ''little did think
them roots wint that far down.

Pawned Her Corpse.

DEs MONIES, February 3.-Miss Dottie
Morgan recently received Il letter from {;
friend who is i'll in Council Bluffs, and who
is in the last stages of consumption, ex.
pressing wish to return to her home in
Des Moines before she dies. The writer
said she had no money to pay her fare.
Hard pressed herself and almost dis
tracted lest she could not answer pitifu
cry for help in time, she went to Nose
Levich, Il pawnbroker, for aid.
"Why, here, take the money and not
another word about paying it back, - ex-
claimed the pawnbroker, touched by the
story Of devotion.
"No, never, unless I can give you Sc
curity. Couldn't you sell my body after
[ III dead ?''
She would not take the money other
wise, so the bargain was made and the
money was sent Immediately to the girl S
friend.
The mortgage reads as follows
|, Dottie Morgan, Of my own free will
and without coercion of any kind, hereby
do sell to Nose Levich my body after
death, to do with as he sees fit, for con-
sideration of $40.
The said Nose Levich shall not take
possession of my body until after | am
dead, and if anytime during my life l wish
to cause this bill of sale to become null and
void, and shall pay to Nose Levich or his
assignees $40 in good and lawful money
Of the United States, his interest in my
body shall cease. DoTTIE MORGAN.

Salt For Hogs.

Last summer city visitor remarked that
he was hog fancier, and owing to his sue
cess would rather raise them than any
other animal. I asked him for the secret
of his success. His reply was: 'Salt,
salt, salt in every feed" had just pur-
chased three June pigs and was ripe for
pointers, and resolved to try it. 1 fed
middlings with milk and water three times
day Starting with tablespoonful, |
increased the salt to a handful in every
feed They have been decidedly thrifty
and now are beauties. OF course, they
got good care, but believe the salt aided
greatly in keeping them in condition.
| believe the oldfashioned swill barrel
nuisance from every standpoint. Dump
ing everything into barrel and allowing
it to sour and rot, and feeding from and
adding to without even cleaning out dur
ing the whole summer is about the worst
bit of sanitation known | never feed any
thing that stands in a bucket over six
hours.
A few days after getting these pigs
[ noticed them scratching at every oppor
tunity. On examination | noticed great
many ticks-smaller than sheep ticks. As
they were actually free, not having been
reckoned in the purchase price, | should
have been delighted at the discovery, as it
is so seldom that we farmers get anything
free. But they were unwelcome strangers
to me. reasoned that the pigs could not
thrive thus infested and sought remedy.
found where one writer advised the use
OF Il sheepdipping tank for hogs thus in
tested. In the absence of sheep he re-
commended the building of a similar outfit
for hogs. That would be all right for the
large grower, but too expensive for me. 1t
occurred to me that perhaps kerosene emul-
sion might do the business. Procuring
gallon molasses can, | put into it three
quarts of strong, hot soapsuds and half ii
pint of kerosene oil After cooking and
shaking vigorously for few moments the
emulsion and [ were ready for business.
When the emulsion was sufficiently cooled,
and when the pigs were eating at the
trough, poured over a pint Of the emul-
sion along the back and over the heads of
each pig. The effect was even better than
| had expected The ticks disappeared,
and with them The scurf, giving the pigs
the appearance of having been washed. |
repeated this three times during the sum-
mer and fall Have you not noticed when
butchering, small red spots on the skin ?
That is the effect of these ticks and should
at once suggest that they are injurious to
the living animal.
[ was astonished at the amount of coal
these would eat They will leave corn any
time for it. Being in tight pen off the
ground, they need something to rasp out
and sharpen their digestive apparatus,
which would hardly be needed by those
running at large, with access to the ground.
The salt, emulsion and coal were of
small cost, but think very effective, and
had much to do with the success of my
pig venture.

Manure In Summer.

One of the many seasonable problems
that are presented to the farmer is how to
dispose of the stable manure which accu-
mulates during the summer season. Last
wear I applied what manure | could get
from the stables to piece of buckwheat
sown on a wheat stubble turned under.
The buckwheat and grass were sown July
81, or about that date. | got pretty
good crop of buckwheat, much better
buckwheat where the manure was applied
than where it was not, and the manure
shows plainly on the grass this season.
There will be at least one-third heavier
grass where the manure was applied, says
an Ohio Farnsr correspondent.

A Russian Guilty Of Fifty Murders.

ST.. PETERSBURG, February 3-A man
who qualities as criminal of historic di-
mensions has been arrested at Rostofondon.
His exploits have long been notorious
throughout Russia. Seven times has he
escaped from the Island of Sakhalen. He
is guilty of more than SO murders and of
several hundred robberies, many of which
were committed when, disguised as a gen.
darme, he entered houses on the pretext
of making government searches.
When last he escaped from Sakhalen he
was chained to his convict wheelbarrow.
His name is Nagorny. He is tall and
strongly built, has ruffanly expression.
When he was arrested he pointed loaded
revolver at his captors, but the lock of the
weapon proved useless. Nagorny has hith-
erto escaped hanging because there is no
capital punishment under the regular Rus
sian law.
Seeing that his crimes date earlier than
the establishment of summary court-mar-
tials and were never political but simply
brutal murders or plundering it is not ev-
ident that he can even be hanged, as
would happen to him if he had stolen some
rouble from government vodka shop of
the revolutionists.

His Thoughtful Wife.

A Denver politician and his wife were
on the eighth floor of the Brown Hotel to

"Myr' she said, athat' a long way"
As she moved toward the elevator she
asked "John, they frequently hold ban

"Well," she said, "Fm never going to

I. U. or the Y. NJ. c. A. gives it. This
