Sarah Henrietta Westervelt was the
name entered in the register of the Ivy
clad church, and in her baby days she
was called Sally. But from the day her
Cupid's arch of a mouth learned to
frame intelligent sentences Jack Hardy
had dubbed her the town crler."
The nickname was so apt that 1t
stuck. being reduced for simplicity
sake to L. C. Even during those stern
minutes in the library with her father
he often dropped the sober Sarah for
the moro universal T. G.
4. C.'s nickname was due to her gen.
ius for the dissemination Of bits OF
gossip best forgotten. Her mind seem
cd naturally to empty itself of all In
formation. and young Hardy altered
an old saw into what goes in T. C.'s
ear comes out of her mouth"
AS It. G. grew In understanding the
habit got her more firmly in its grip
Instead of learning to appreciate the
value of reticence her wider scope OF
knowledge served only the better to
equip her for the gathering Of sundry
bits of gossip which she would blurt
out at the most inopportune occasions
until not only her family, but hel
friends, came to regard her with an
affection that was not unmixed with
terror.
It. c., being a sensitive little soul
grIeved in secret and made earnest
VOWS that she would tattle no more.

coinq to School In Burma.

Shortly after the native college was
opened at Rangoon the head, the Rev.
Dr. Marks, says in the Church Family
Paper that the king of Burma came to
him and asked if he would teach some
of his sons. When he agreed the king
asked, what ages do you like them
att"
From twelve TO fourteen"
The king turned to one of his as
SiStants and commanded:
Bring all my sons between twelve
and fourteen to me-"
Nine princes came in.
-Four came to school the next day,
each riding on an elephant and with
| two golden umbrellas. Each also was
escorted by forty soldiers. Afterward
the whole nine came, so there were
nine princes, nine elephants. eighteen
golden umbrellas and $50 soldiers,
Unlike Mary's lamb, DR.. Marks says,
the elephants stayed outside, but when
the princes came into the schoolroom
all the other boys threw themselves
fat down with their faces to the
ground. 1t was forbidden for any one
to stand or sit IN the presence OF
princes.
DIR. Marks found this state Of things
very inconvenient and put the matter
to the princes. They talked the situa-
ton over and made up their minds
what 10 do.
"You fellows may get up" one of the
princes said. "You need not be fright

She meant to mend her ways, but at
the first opportunity her store OF
knowledge would roll out unchecked
and unrealiZed.
1t was to Jack Hardy that she al
ways went for sympathy and advice
when these revelations and their con-
sequences hung heavy over her head.
Though Jack had given her the odious
nickname, he made partial atonement
by never employing it.
To him she was "Peterkin," and,
though frequently he was a sufferer
from her disclosures, he was ever
ready with advice, sympathy or candy,
as the occasion seemed to demand, for
he alone apparently realized that her
fault was temperamental and not the
result of righteousness.
T. @. fairly worshiped Hardy, yet all
the little intimate details of his court
ship of her sister Nell leaked out along
with the rest of her chatter and there
were times when Hardy's forbearance
was. ant to a hard test. 1t was charac-
ter1stN of the man that even the per-
sonal experience did not abate his SYM
pathy for T. c., not even when he pro-
posed to Nell and was given negative
answer.
When Nell made hysterical reference
to another girl he felt that he had T. c.
to thank for this, yet his Office still
was her haven of refuge, and she stout
ly denied that she had said anything
about some other woman.
Hardy's questions had to be dis
creetly framed If he did not wish the
fact of his rejection to become COM
mon talk, and he could not press the
investigation. Instead he sought alb
sorption in work, but the practice of a
country lawyer seldom proves absorb
ing, and Hardy grew thin and white
while he waited and hoped for clear
ing up of the trouble.
He was sitting idly at his desk one
afternoon when T. G. poked her head
into the doorway and, finding that he
was alone, entered boldly.
what is 1t, Peterkin?" he asked
printing a kiss on the child'S troubled
face. "Have you been telling the min
lister what your father said when he
was asked to contribute to the chancel
fund, or did you explain to the guests
at to party that the salad was made
with canned lobster?"
"Worse an that" was the doleful
declaration as T. G. snuggled against
the broad shoulder ''The school com
mittee visited this afternoon. Mr.
Sprague asked us what love was. and
told him it was the way the principal
acted with Miss Saunders. They all
laughed, but Miss Squires got red in
the face. and was expelled. 1t is the
truth" she added defiantly. "He kisses
her when he thinks no one can see him,
and she calls him George wouldn't
call any man with whiskers Georgia.

NORTH DAKOTA NATIONAL FOREST

Washington. Nov. 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has signed pro-
clamations creating the Ocala ma
tional forest in Marion county,
Fla, and the Dakota national for
est in Billing county, n. D. These
two states have thus been added to
the nineteen other states and the
territory of Alaska, wherin land is
under scientific forest administra-
tion.
/. The Florida forest. the first to
be set aside by the government,
east of the Mississippi river, has
an area of 2O1, ,48O acres, one four
tn of which has been taken up
under various land laws, and is
welladapted to the production of
forest growth.
The Dakota forest consists of
14,O8O acres and its creation is i'm
portant as it opens an experiment
tai field for planting in the state
having only one per cent of the
growth.

VIM. Pickard, living five miles
west of town, is one of the many
farmers in this vicinity who can
prove that farming Of Mclean
county land is profitable, very
profitable. Arriving here six years
ago almost empty handed, with
but five head of cattle, Mr.. Pickard
and his boys own 760 acres of
choice land. of which about 300
acres are broke and were put in
crop last season,-and their herd
of cattle has swelled to over sixty
head, all raised on their farm.
With fourteen horses they have
turned over nearly two hundred
acres this fall. to be all ready iv:
the seeding in the spring. And
they expect next summer to add at
least $50 acres Of prairie to their
already large cultivated area. The
yield Of grain on Mr. Pickard's
farm was good, flax going IL BUSH
els to the acre, wheat 20 and oats
35. We want many more farmers
of just such type as Mr.. Pickard's,
who knows a good thing when he
sees IL. and sticks to IT,.
Mr.. T. S. Lee, wife and sons
left Wednesday morning for
Springfield, ILL.,. to remain the rest

Mr.. Booth raised over three
thousand bushels of grain last
season. and disposed of it all at a
good price. He had 700 bushels
No. wheat, 1900 bushels fax and
1900 bushels of oats. He has $50
acres plowed this fall ready for the
drill, and expects to get 100 acres
more of prairie under cultivation
next summer. Mr.. Booth claims
that farming in Mclean county
is profitable; so much so, that he
left the postal service four year.
ago to engage in farming here.
and he likes it better every year.
He says that this county is one Of
the best farming sections in the
Union, if not the best. And we
agree with him there.

FOR A NORTH DAKOTA ELEVATOR

st. Paul, Nov. 26.-The three
members of the board of grain
commissioners of North Dakota,
who have been spending the last
three weeks in st. Paul have COM
pleted their report to Gov. Burke
and made their recommendations
regarding the feasibility Of the state
of North Dakota going into the
grain buying business They will
not make their recommendations
public until the report reaches the
governor.
The commission created by the
1907 legislature to go to the cities
Duluth, Superior and Minneapolis
and investigate the feasibility and
practicabiity Of the state Of North
Dakota buying, leasing or building
an elevator to be used as termi-
nal elevator for the use and benefit
of the people of that state.
The board has visited the cities
as directed and during the last
couple Of weeks has been in st.
Paul getting data from the rail
road and warehouse commission
ers of Minnesota. They have in
quired into the present grain in
spection, the methods of handling
grain, the dockage Of grain and
the expense Of cleaning grain and
the disposition Of screenings and
their approximate value. They
are going to report as to the pro-
bable cost of buying, leasing or
building an elevator and the pro-
bable cost Of operating it.

stances there stored away that they
can be used by plants in their
growth. The root channels admit
air into the subsoil and also cause
an excess of soil moisture to drain
away more readily. The roots
themselves add large qualities of
decaying vegetable matter, or
humus to the soil, which is. in
itself, store. house Of plant food
and mechanical factor in i'm
proving the physical condition of
land. In a we'll esta blished crop
about as much substance is pro-
duced below as above ground.
Furthermore it is not to be over
looked that the plant takes
nitrogen from the air and stores it
in the soil for the use of succeed
ing growth. The nitrogen of the
air is free. but in the form of ccm-
mercial fertalizers it costs about Is
cents pound. Poor soil. however
cannot be enriched with alfalfa
because the plant itself exacts a
fairly good degree of fertility for
its own successful growth. Where
alfalfa is largely grown on the
farm and fed to stock and the
resulting manure is returned to
the land. the productivity of the
soil can be more than doubled in
comparatively short time. One of
the best crops to be grown on
alfalfa sod is corn, but potatoes
also do we'll. For small grains
the sod is usually too rich. forcing
them into such luxurant growth
that they. finally lodge.
Alfalfa growing for seed is also
profitable under certain conditions.
Often when the prospects for d
heavy yield Of hay are not good,
growers allow the crop to go to
seed. Rank growth is not desired
in seed production. The drier
uplands seem to produce the best
seed and Montana, Dakota Nebr-
aska and Kansas grown seed is
popular on the market. The yield
of seed varies from three to twelve
bushels per acre but a yield of
from six to eight bushels should
be secured to make alfalfa seed
growing really profitable. The
price Of the seed ranges from 81
to SO per bushel.
There are a number of other
uses of alfalfa which are of minor
Importance but still are of interest
and value. Poultry fed on alfalfa
and it pays to have small patch
to which they have excess to go: :at
will It is also an excellent bee
keepers crop.
