He climbed into the tiny road cart,
cracked the whip, and the four ponies
trotted off.
1t was only four miles to Carston-
vile. where the Blakeley hippodrome.
menagerie and circus lay in winter
quarters, but every revolution of the
little wheels seemed to put %Sally-and
happiness-miles behind.
Ted Stevens was a circus clown
not a very good one, but good enough
for the one ring wagon show he trav-
eled with. Last spring he had come
down a few weeks before the opening
to rehearse some bits of comedy, and
he had met Sally Myerly.
She had never seen much of show
folk, and she was attracted by his
fun as well as by the wholesomeness
of his manner. In the three weeks
they saw each other Ted had won her
heart. Then the show had gone south
to open. 1t was midsummer before
the slow moving outfit had come back
to Carstonville to show, and that after
loon Ted had done his best because
Sally was watching from the reserved
seats. He had been rather disappoint-
ed at her lukewarm appreciation, but
he did not realize what the matter
was until he had come back with the
show to go into winter quarters.
He had taken the meager salary Of
fered to help care for the stock instead
of playing at the vaudeville theaters
through the winter, and it vas with
a happy heart that he took the pony
four-in-hand out for exercise and had
driven over to the Myerly farm.
He had received an enthusiastic well
come from ~ten-year-old Dick, but Sally
had been cold, and at last she con-
fessed that the sight of him in the
ring had killed her love. Her ideas
of romance were CLEANED from cheap
fiction, wherein English lords in dis
guise were more apt to be heroes than
circus clowns. The sight of Ted in
his motley had killed her ideals, and
she wanted her freedom.
For the next couple of weeks he
held to his work, trying in occupation
to find forgetfulness. He had been
rather clever with dogs once. and be
got permission to try his hand at two
OF the ponies. just to occupy his n.Gl.

Does Not Aspire to Leadership

Assemblyman-elect Isaac T. Nichols
of Cumberland county says he has no
ambition to be leader of the House, his
name having been mentioned in that
connection. Legislative experience
some years ago, both in Senate and
House, in addition to natural ability,
qualities him for leadership, but he
says he doesn't want it, desiring only
to occupy his seat as a careful pains
taking legislator, serving the peoples
interests. Nichols is an eloquent and
forcible speaker and will be heard
doubtless in debate .-Camden Post

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use OF
the Moist Subsoil.

How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use OF
the Moist Subsoil.
In Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning of April until October there is
practically no rain. yet In July the
fields TEEN with a vigorous growth of
watermelons. tomatoes. c~ucumbers.
etc, all 1ourishing without artificial
watering, although at that time no
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In fact, the Syrian peasant from the
moment his SEED has been sown prays
that no rain may fall. During the Pc
riod Of growth of a crop the surface of
the soil to a depth of six or eight
inches is perfectly dry and loose. Be-
low this surface layer will be found
moist soil, in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this moist
subsoil plants continue to grow until
late autumn. When the crop is re-
moved in the autumn the rains COM
mence, and the land is plowed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil
begins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view III plOWluS-tO luTlllSu IL idNufd-
BILE surface for taking up all the water
and to prevent its upward evaporation
from the subsoil. The great point is
to keep the upper six inches of soil
perfectly loose and friable, so that the
moisture from below is not drawn up
ward and lost in evaporation. but does
not ascend higher then the compact
subsoil that is not br = up by the
plow. For this reason re blowing is
shallow, averaging from four to six
inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is plowed to a depth
of about six inches and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the plow, falls on the damp subsoil
and is covered by the soil closing
behind the plowshare. From this time
the upper stratum of loose soil pre-
vents the escape of moisture upward
beyond the wet subsoil on which the
seeds rest and into which their roots
after the process of termination
spread.-Chicago Tribune.

In the time of Grecian prosperity
and power that nation celebrated a
feast very much resembling hat of
the Jews and supposedly borrowed
from the latter. 1t was called the
feast of Demeter or the Eleusinian
mysteries. Demeter being the goddess
of the cornfields, by whose especial
favor only good harvests might be
expected. The celebration continued
during nine days. and offerings to the
goddess were made, consisting of obll-
tons of wine, honey and milk.
