ALitlIe But Costly Error.

Through very simple mistake
a business man of this city was
forced to spend a good wad of his
tightly held cash the other night.
He was scheduled to take his
wife TO the theatre. Business
took HIM to New York 10 the day
time, so he told his wife, as he
was leaving the house, that he
would try to get tickets and
would let her know before get
ting on the train. After secur-
ing the tickets he forgot all about
informing his wife, and when he
arrived in New York he sudden
ly remem bered and sent tins
telegram. "Haye gotten tickets,
Meet me at Broad Street Sta.
tlon."
When he came back to town he
was met by his wife and eight
other relatives and friends, all
ready tor the theatre. "We're
all here, waiting for you" cried
his wife; 'It's so good of you tc
invite so many" "Why, what dc
you mean ?" asked the amazed
husband. Here's your te.e-
gram, answered the wife, and
there 1t was as large as life, jusl
as the telegrapher had made it,
"Haye got ten tickets. "-Phlla-

What Is a Home.

What constitutes home? Folk
or furniture? A house, or those
who lnhablt 1t? This is a mys
terry that the wayward pen can
not solve with flourish. A home
IS expansive, indeed, for 1t IN
cludes all who are born Ia it's
charmed circle, and many more
besides; but it is thing that
grows; that Is subject to evolu-
ton Make the answer to suit
yourself; let 1T be whim sIcal or
serious; but you may be sure that
the spirit of home is not to be
found in warehouses, not in the
auction shops, nor in the market
places of the world. 1t is an ethe-
real essence, with huency which
fills every corner from cellar to
garret, and gives out it's perfume
even to the stranger that enters
the door. And if you have ever
had Whit of the subtle perfume,
count yourself fortunate among
the children of men

How Much Seed?

1t is quite likely that a poor
stand of clover is often due to
sowing a scant allowance of seed,
as well as to the fact that the
seed may be poor or weak vitality.
While six quarts of seed to the
acre is practice that is quite
generally followed, we believe
that much better results would
often be secured if this amount
were increased by a quart or
two The critical tune with both
clover and alfalfa Is the short
time when the two legumes are
acquiring a mastery over the
weeds-that is, occupying the
ground. If for any reason the
plants are weak, the stand thin
and the ground swarmIng with
young weeds the chances are
that the young clover plants will
ue swamped and the money put
INTO purchasing the seed virtually
thrown away. Had there been a
better stand the contest mi yht
have resulted differently and a
fine stand of the legume been the
result. 10 putting IN clover this
year make the experiment of
sowing a little more seed than
Is customary on a portion of
your land and see if the results
secured justify the additional ex-
pense.

Especial to The Sentinel. }

New York. Sept. S.-Edward NJ.
Sheppard. well known in the past as
a Cleveland Democrat, and promI-
nent III tariff reform agitation, today
issued statement announcing his
intention of supporting William j.
Bryan for the presidency. Mr.. Shep-
pard says he is unable to see how
Americans who cherish the tradi-
tions and benetIAient Democracy rep
resented by Grover Cleveland can do
otherwise than support Alr. Bryan.
In making this declaration he is in
no way deferred by Cleveland's art
icle published after his death, which
Mr.. Sheppard declares was not pre-
pared for the campaign and the
issues ii now presents. No such con-
clusion as that Mr.. Cleveland intend
ed to support Mr.. Taft and oppose
Mr.. Bryan can be arrived at, argues
MIR. Sheppard, from reading of the
article in question.
