After ten years Of fried bacon and
salt pork the pendulum swung to Its
opposite extreme for David Chadwick.
The goddess of fortune, whom he had
long wooed in vain, now turned her
face with truly feminine caprice. From
bacon and corn bread Dave had been
advanced almost overnight to a New
York hotel, where his days board
would have bought provisions for a
month during his prospecting period.
And still Dave was not satisfied. He
did not like what he termed "fussy"
foods, and the very length Of the bill
of fare deprived him of his appetite.
Then it was that Nell Horton came
as an angel of deliverance and led him
to her home in the suburbs, where
Dave devoured all that was put before
him and rejoiced in the absence of a
bill of fare.
"I don't suppose that this modest
meal will appeal to you," said Nell
with ostentatious modesty. "We are
plain people out here, and after your
grand hotel it must seem skinny,
but when I saw you on the avenue
i said to myself, I'll bet that's Dave
Chadwick, and I'm going to ask him
home, no matter what he may think
You haven't changed a mite, Dave,
since you left Lawrence"
Now, it is pleasant for a man who
realizes that he is beginning to look
old to be told that he does not differ in
appearance after fifteen years, and for
the first time Dave decided that Nell
was looking remarkably young herself.
He could not know that Nell had
carefully studied the numerous pic
lures of the new Croesus in the news
papers and had haunted the vicinity
Of his hotel for days before she had
encountered him, apparently by chance.
in front of the place.
The Horizons had known Dave in his
early life, before he had gone west to
seek and eventually find fortune.
When the papers had taken up the
newly made multimillionaire, as the
week before they had taken up the
newly born baby elephant of the cir
Gus, Nell had read all the stories and
had determined that Dave and his mil
lions should become her property.
HE always was a dumb fool" she
told her mother. eff we can get hold
of him before the others do I'll be mar

Apples are profitable crop. but it's
poor policy to raise them for the
worms to eat.
A fence around the garden is not
expensive, and it saves q lot of annoy
ance.
A row Of grapevines across the back
OF the garden will be a great addi-
ton.
There is just one kind of grating
that Is all right. That's the kind that
works well in the orchard.
If you were to go to place where
there Is no free delivery of mail 20

Good seed Is one Of the first essen

Remedy For Mites.

Now is the time when the roosts of
most henhouses are more or less alive
with the terrible little mites. In kero-
sene we have a cheap and never failing
remedy. Soak the roosts with it from
time to time, or. still better, spray it all
over the inside of the building, reach
ing every crack and crevice. 1t kills
wherever it touches, and the treat
ment will save much suffering to the
poor fowls and money for the owner.

She was united in marriage with
Lewis George December "a, 1867. To
this union two children we're born,
Leslie and Bessie. Both we're per-
mitted to be with their mother and
administer to her in her last sickness.
For over ayear she had been failing
In health and on two occasions skilled
surgical aid was resorted to but no
permanent good resulted. She was
great sufferer but endured her afflic-
lions with patience and resignation.
Everything was done for her by fami-
ly and friends that love could suggest,
aided by most campetent medical
skill but all failed in restoring the
loved one to health, and in the morn
ing of the sixth day of August she
quietly passed away aged SO years 4
months and l3 days.
With the husband and two children,
are an aged mother, two sisters, two
brothers and four grandchildren, to
mourn their loss. She had a birth
right in the Friends Church and in
early life was regular in attending the
means of grace. She found her great
est joy, however, In the home life
where she proved her religion, living
not for herself but for those that
we're dearer to her than her own life.
