BETTER MARKETING

''1t is a wonder to me- declared
Neighbor B, that farmers do not
take more interest in the subject of
marketing their farm produce. AS a
rule they seem to take but little no.
tice of the market reports. And they
sell their products in a sort of hap.
hazard way for what they can get
They will hold on to produce that
they ought to dispose of early in the
season, which is always bad prac-
tice. For example, there is Neighbor
-; he had a splendid crop of apples
and could have sold them early for a
good price, but he let the opportunity
slip by, and now his fine apple crop
is rotting in the cellar, and prices are
lower than they were last fall. My
experience has proved that it is al
ways better to accept fair price for
perishable produce than to attempt
to hold it for higher prices later. The
loss from shrinkage will generally be
more than the gain in price. Amer

AUNT MARY'S STORY,

Aunt Mary's stories were, like her.
self, "just too sweet for anything" so
the children in the nursery were wont
to say as they gathered around her in
the twilight. A very pretty group
they made-Auna Mary, with bonny
little Jack on her knee and the others
all clustering near
Aunt Mary's stories held them
spellbound, but what they loved
chiefly to hear was about her life
when she was little girl in far away
Africa.
What shall | tell you about this
EVENING"" said Aunt Mary one day.
"'Bout lion," replied Jack
promptly.
about some brave deed"
'About yourself"
Aunt Mary smiled at the chorus Of
voices and then after a few minutes
thought she began:
Once there lived little girl in a
land far away, and she was much in
clined to be disobedient. She had no
mother, so perhaps this was the rea-
son why she was a rather naughty
girl. Her father had told her never
to stray from the house by herself
Chotee. her oil nurse, was always to
go with her. But Mollie one day in
her fathers absence determined to
have little trot all by herself, and
so out of the house she stole, walking
on and on till she came to kind of
forest. By this time she was tired,
and so sitting down under tree she
rested for bit and soon fell asleep.
when she awoke, to her terror
and alright she saw two big, bright
eyes glaring at her i'll the dim, leafy
twilight. Poor Mcllie thought her
last minute had come, but she was
far too terrified even to scream. All!
how bitterly in those few terrible mo-
ments she repented of her disobe-
dience. Well, indeed, might she be
frightened. for those bright eyes be-
longed to a young lion. But, happily
for Mollie, Chotee had missed her,
and had tracked her footsteps by the
aid of a tiny handkerchief which the
child had dropped.
And now comes the story of a
brave deed. Chotee arrived near the
spot just at the time of Mollie' s
awakening, and she, too, saw the lion
In the distance. 81 dearly did Chotee
love her little charge that she was
ready to give her life if needs be to
save her. She saw the lion draw
nearer to the helpless little one, and
then a happy thought flashed into her
mind, and she uttered a wild, un-
earthly yell. This so alarmed Mr..
Lion that he turned and made off,
without stopping to see what enemy
was approaching, and so Mollie's life
vas saved.
Now, chicks" said Aunt Mary at
the close, 81 think I've told you all
that you asked for, and remember it
is true story"
Said wee Elsie, But wanted it to
be about yourself, Aunt Mary"
We'll, darling" was the reply
naughty. disobedient Molly was
your own Aunt Mary. - Scottish

on the streets. She turned her eyes
indoors with sigh.
"Oh, I'll look at pictures, she said,
and she pulled volume towards her.
1t was very heavy, and she came near
dropping it. Then she stopped short.
She had remembered something.
Anyway" she mused, mamma
didn't say for me not to take these
when she was gone downtown, and
hadn't anything else to do, and was
awf'ly lonesome. She said l mustn't
touch em the other day; but / knew
there wasn't any other books 'cept
what I've looked at"
Down sat Lila on the floor, and she
turned the leaves slowly. There were
beautiful pictures.
"Me-ew," sounded suddenly close
beside her, and she jumped, almost
tearing one of the silky tissue papers
that covered the engravings.
You're a naughty kitty to scare
me SOL" she scolded.
"Me-ew!" persisted Sukey. "Me-ew!
Me-ew!" and she ran to the window.
What do you want?" asked Lila.
for Sukey always came and mewed
when she wished for anything.
"Me-ew! Me-ew!" said Sukey.
"Well, what do you want?"
The small cat eyed the window
wistfully, keeping up her mewing.
Lila laid the book on the floor, and
walked over to the window. There
were several flies buzzing about there.
Il guess you want me to catch them
for you; Is that it?"
"Me-ew!" responded Sukey.
"Well, l can't; 1 don't know how.
But you're a lovely kittle to do as
mamma told you, and not to catch
them for yourself! When mamma
comes home shall tell her how good
you are"
Then her face grew suddenly grave.
She couldn't tell mamma that some
body else had remembered to do as
she had been told. She put her arms
around Sukey.
Il guess you're better'n I am,
kitty" she whispered; "but I'm goin'
to be as good as you" Then she put
the beautiful book back upon the
table, and when mamma came home
she heard all about the lesson that
little cat had taught to little girl.

THE YOUNGEST KING.


Portugal, that little sister country
to Spain, far across the waters, has
just crowned new King. His name
is Manuel, and although he is a
Kings son, he was not the Crown
Prince, the eldest boy, and therefore
few thoughts Of ruling kingdom in
the near future entered his head, says
a writer in the Children's Magazine.
We hear that he was a happy
Prince, with great interest in music
and a love of the beautiful, until the
first of February, of this year. Then,
without word of warning, his father,
King Carlos of Portugal, and his
brother, the Crown Prince, Luiz
Felipe, were killed in the streets of
Lisbon, while riding with the Queen
and himself.
The loving mother, Queen Amelie,
tried to protect the Crown Prince
from the attack by bravely throwing
herself in front of him, but without
avail. That the present King, Man
uel, was not killed, together with the
Queen, is probably due to bungnng
on the part of the assassins. Man.
uel was slightly wounded, and the
Queen escaped injury.
Young King Manuel II. is only
eighteen, and was born November Is,
1889, at Lisbon. To think what a
tragic change for the infante Manuel
to lose his father and brother in a
minute and from a carefree boyhoeS
to step in one moment to the King
ship of an ancient race. That he will
make a good King seems probable.
1t is recalled that King Manuel l.,
who reigned in Portugal from 1895
to 1891, was known as King Manuel
the Fortunate. and that his reign
was very prosperous.
Dom Manuel II. is the youngest
sovereign of Europe. He assumes
the duties Of King with little less
training than his brother had. His
first words to his counselors were, 81

AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE


At the time Mr.. E. w Howe, the
editor of the Atchison Globe, visited
Jerusalem there were 1000 Russian
pilgrims in the city, and when he at
tended the Greek church in the Rus
sian quarter it was crowded with pill
grims, seven-tenths of them old men.
No seats were provided. The old
people stood during the service, which
lasted nearly three hours, and as Mr..
Howe describes it in his recent book,
Daily Notes of a Trip Around the
World" 1t was as impressive as it
was elaborate.
There was fine male choir on the
right Of what might be called the
stage, says Mr.. Howe. There were a
dozen singers, monks or priests, and
one of them was the best basso l
have ever heard.
All of the officiating priests wore
long hair, hanging loosely down their
backs, and full whiskers. Their robes
We're of gorgeous colors, and one of
tho number frequently came down
into the audience and read portions
Of the service.
When the service was about half
over an archbishop appeared, and
when he went down into the audience
all the other priests followed and
kissed him. Then the priests sur
rounding the archbishop sang, assist
ed by one tenor, who came down
from the choir. Afterward the arch
bishop, who wore a sort of crown,
walked through the audience, swing
ing a smoking censor. Once during
the archbishop's part in the service
the chimes in the tower were rung.
It was the most impressive relig-
ious service have ever attended, but
what interested me most was the con-
gregation. AS visitor was given a
chair on raised platform to one side,
down in front, and the Russian pill
grims were packed in front of me.
They were constantly crossing them
selves, and every little while they
would kneel and touch the floor with
their foreheads. Many of them kissed
the cases containing the relics.
Half of the men looked like the
pictures I have seen of Count Toll
stoi, the Russian reformer and philo-
sopher. Without exception, the men
were old, and all wore long gray
whiskers. Nearly all were bald. They
were peasants, and their hands were
knotted with age and toll
They reminded me of the Method
lists knew as boy; they all seemed
to be good, sturdy men, men who
had worked hard all their lives and
accomplished little. l thought of the
days when l rode about the frontier
with my father, who was a Methodist
circuit rider; many of these Russian
peasants reminded me of the old,
hard working, earnest men l saw at
his meetings. And one of the old
men was strikingly like my father
when saw him last; when he was
old and unsuccessful, but still firm in
the faith
There was commotion in the au-
dience, and hysterical woman, one
of the Russian pilgrims, was carried
out. This, too, reminded me of the
old days.
I leave Jerusalem tomorrow and
shall never see it again, but as long
as l live shall remember that SER

MOUSE sCARES ELEPHANT.

One very small mouse, smuggled in
by three very wicked small boys,
nearly sent three big elephants into
spasms in the Bronx Zoo, New York
City. Spectators were panic-stricken
by the trumpeting of the elephants
and stampeded to safety.
The mouse was first seen by Gunda,
the big African elepahnt, usually the
most docile of beasts. Gunda tried
to butt his head through the wall
and strained at his leg chains. Gum
da's panic was speedily conveyed to
Congo and Khartoum, Indian ele-
plants, and they began to sound their
terror.
All this time the mouse was
crouching in corner of Congo's cage,
more frightened than the elephants.
Keeper Hoffman killed it.
