''In Full Retreat" Hallucination.

Mr. Bryan. skirmishing around on
the democratic mule searching for an
effective campaign issue. teiegraphs
for the comfors Of his followers. that
the republicans are in full retreat.
What glorious news 10 those who have
80 often met the enemy in full battle
array and gone down under an ava
lanche Of republican bai3ots, What
an inspiration to the bleeding patriots
who have rallied around the demo-
cratic banner through SO many years

in Gath nor publish it not in the
streets Of Askclon. the mighty repub-
lican hosts are IN full retreat! Bryan

only what hc saw yet il is a little Gu
rious that those who are said TO b. the
chief actors in this pell NELL desertiOn
have not the slightest knowledge Of
leaving the defense which they have So
honorably held in the past Especial
ly curious would such a retreat appear
when there is no formidable array Of
opposing weapons TO frighten even the
most cowardly. A commander Of the
army OF the Potomac, flushed with
supposed victories, tclegraphed to
Washington Headquarters in the

When Stonewall Jackson had led him

blow which started the commander to-

A Potato Dream.

When one splits open a nice baked
potato--baked all through wisely and
kindly, so that it looks like a section
of newly fallen snow, and melts into
copiods lump 81 butter. aud lets his
thoughts rollick with the Joy Of a big
bite of it--he wonders why Luther
Bnrbank is spending his timg trying
20 make the potato better than il j..
But that is what he is doing. and now
he has 1000 hybrids OF his own cul-
ture that he is comparing and testing
in order 10 get the very best to breed
from. He thinks the Irish potato
should be little sweeter than it il,
not only for taste but for health, and
to thi. end he j. working lie has sue
ceeded in getting a potato quite a
sweet a. the sweet potato, but that i
sweeter than he wants it., 30 he il
breeding that back to a milder quality.
In this effort he has tried to get an
Irish potato from its native haunts.
away up in the SUBMITS Of the Andes,
where jealous wild men dwell and
won't let white men come, and so he
has 10 wrestle with cross purposes, and
the indications are that before he is
through he will be the originator of an E
other Burbank potato that will far eX-
ceed the achievement OF his youthful
dream. 1t is interesting to note that in
his efforts to arrive at something new
in the potato line he has developed a
new vegetable altogether The appa-
rent consanguinity Of the potato and
the tomato led him to encourage an
alliance between them, so he grated a
potato vine on tomato root and sue
ceeded in raising new vegetable-an
air-grown potato, small and fantastic
in shape, but tasty and nutritious. lie
is still pushing that vegetable or fruit,
and who knows but that some day the
true Burbank potato, highly subima'
ted, will be gathered from t.e air, al

Ingenious Johnnie.

Mother had bright red apple which
she wished to give to the children, at
the same time teaching the little
brother lesson in generosity. john
ME had a peculiar fondness for apples.
Calling him to her side she said,
Now, dear, mama has nice. rosy
apple TO give YOU, and she wants you
to be generous" That word was not in
Johnnie's vocabulary, so he said,
Mama, what do you mean by being
g-nerons?"
"Oh, dear, that means that you are
to divide the apple into two parts and
give sister the larger"
Johnnie was silent. Finally his face
frightened, as he handed the apple
again to his mother, saying, MAMA
give it to sister and tell HER to be gen.

Alfalfa will not thrive with cold, wet
feet.
Alfalfa land should be well drained
and supplied with animal matter
While it will frequently make as fine
stand from spring seeding, the weeds
and especially the crab grass, very
often destroy the plants before fall,
even though it is clipped every thirty
days.
Alfalfa, if seeded in the fall, must
be put in early, about the first Of Sep
tember, in order To secure strong
growth before cold weather.
1t may then be cut for hay next
year, whereas, when seeded in the
spring, il cannot be cut for hay at all
but must simnly be clipped as occa-
sion may require, especially when il
shows an inclination to stop growing
aud becomes yellow in color
Land that grows clover and cowpeas
successfully should suit alfalfa very
well.
Remember that the greatest difficult
ty with alfalfa is to get it properly
started, as it is a very delicate plant
and should be put on well prepared
ground
1t would be good practice il farm

good coating and work well in with a

TRADE THAT WAS CALLED OFF.
Minister'S Really Good Reason for Not
Purchasing Horse.

Y saw an instance recently" re-
marked Senator Carter of Montana,
"of one way to get along with Indians
when 1t comes to a horse deal One
Of the missionaries who makes occa-
sional excursions into the Crow coun-
try by way of getting on friendly
terms with the tribe, commissioned
two of the men to get him a swift,
strong and presentable riding horse,
and he stipulated that he would pay
hundred dollars for the kind of horse
described. The braves soon appeared
with a horse, swift, strong and a
splendid looking animal, but, alas! so
vicious that he had to be dubbed al
most to insensibility before he would
be saddled. Then the Indians blind
folded him to get on the bride.
The missionary looked on, anything,
but edited by the conduct Of the
braves and fierce temper Of the horse.
Still, the Indians insisted that they
had brought the horse described and
they demanded the hundred. The mis-
Honary explained that though the
horse could go like the wind, the rider
ran the risk of having his neck broken
before he dismounted. More than that,
the missionary was not strong enough
to beat the horse as the Indians had.
Besides, he finished tearfully, How
can l blindfold the horse whenever
want to mount The Indians replied
that all he had to do was to take of
his shirt and tie it over the horses
head But conceive said the man Of
God, how I would look being com
PEELED to take of my shirt every time
got on the horse. Why, you Indians
know that l go among whites as well
rs Indians, and women as well as
men 1t would cover me with shame
to pull off my shirt that way. | can
not buy this horse The Crows
thought 1t over and finally gave up on
the ground that 1t would not be seem
ly for the preacher to have to take of
his garments promiscuously, SO the
deal was of amicably."

Recipe for Oratory.

of brilliant speech on naval arma-

tory?' a reporter asked.

was the reply. There is, though one
recipe for it, old Job Walmsby's. but
1t is hardly satisfactory.

Vierhus, very tired, sunburned,
hungry but nevertheless happy
bunch. They received a royal
welcome, however, and their
troubles melted away like dew
before the sun when the table was
spread for the dinner, which was
provided by the ladies of the com.
pany and which the masculine ele-
ment pronounced the best ever"
