stamps in repayment of sum lent
and added:
when / think Of my greater debt
to you l despair of expressing my
gratitude. Be assured, however, that
the name of Starkey will always be
cherished in my remembrance"
Under that name Topham dwelt
with the retired shop-keeper, and as
sidiously discharged his tutorial du-
ties. A day came when relying upon
the friendship between them and his
pupils exultation in the progress
achieved, the tutor unbosomed him
self of the secret. Having heard the
whole story Wigmore laughed great
deal and declared that such fellow
as Starkey was right served.
But" he inquired, after reflection,
"how was it the man never wrote to
ask why sent no more work p
"That asks for future confession.

disguised hand, letter supposed to

which I said you were i'll and must
cease your correspondence. Starkey
hadn't the decency to reply. If he had
done so I should have got his letter
at the postoffice."
Mr.. Wigmore looked troubled for
moment. However, this, too, was
laughed away, and the pursuit OF gen.
tility went on as vigorously as ever.
But Topham, musing over his good
luck, thought with a SILVER on how
small an accident it had depended.
Had Starkey been at home when the
fruiterer called he, it was plain,
would have had the offer of this en-
gagement.

more would have been bled for who

swindler. Whereas he is really being
educated, and, for all | know, may
some day adorn the church of Eng

Her blue eys, star and star;
And as l journeyed home from town,
My coach, a jaunting car,
l fondly said HOf life the crown
Is lovely Annie Barr"
The MOSES, oh, but they looked drear
The beauty seemed SO far;

But where young lovers are;
That yearn the doorstep to be near

Oh beauty, thy bewitching charms,
Bewildering are to me;
In vain l stretch out empty arms
In vain sigh for thee;
The lily of the Bannside farms
Scarce knows the withered tree.
The heather in the Monteaghs moss,
Blooms sweet in early spring;
Pink honey bells all rich emboss
The little sprigS of ling;
But when a drain 1 jump across,
They bow in sorrowing
Irreverence, my intruding there!
My footsteps. they but mar
The beauty-oh sweet heaven how
fart
OF blushing blooms that are
Awaiting with modest air,
The smiles of Annie Barr
She draws me with her tresses brown,
Her blue eyes, star and star;
Light memory back to PortadDwn,
Where bonnie lasses are;
But none so fit life's hope to crown,
AS lovely Annie Barr.

Farm Notes
Winter Egg Production.

A writer in the Indiana Farmer
gives these points for raising eggs
in the winter
| You must have early Matched pull
lets or strong, healthy one-year-old
hens.
| Give plenty of room in well-vent-
Hated houses.
Never expose fowls in blustery,
snowy weather.
Feed regularly heterogeneous foods,
rich in material for egg production.
| Have runs we'll Uttered with straWy
material on which to feed grains,
causing the fowls to scratch for their
| food
| Breed every year from the strong
| est, best-developed fowls and espe-
cially from those of good laying
Qualities
Do not at any time oyerfeed your
fowls, give just enough to have them
clean it all up nicely
| Always treat the flock with kind
ness. Excitement does them harm
have them as tame as pets.
Cleanliness throughout all their
quarters If vermin infest the prem
ises they will rob you of eggs.
Do not overcrowd Better Is hens
| in a house large enough for Is
than 25 hens in house fit only
for Is.
A writer in the Country Gentle
man covers somewhat the same
ground, as follows: IF you are OBJ
servant among your hens you will
notice that the busiest ones are al
most invariably the best layers.
Those that jump first from the roost
will be found, if in laying condi-
! ton, on the nest in two or three
hours. Giving the fowls chance to
work and making the winter time
summerlike as far as possible is
what brings up the total profits for
the year. The farmer who is car
| ing for the dairy COW with a view
| of getting a profitable yield of winter
milk sees that she is we'll fed with
milk-producing feeds and kept in
comfortable quarters. Take the
country over, how many farmers are
there who have their poultry on a
good paying basis, or are making
any effort to place it there? doubt
lif there is one in 10. There are
probably more who are making an
effort. but much of this is in vain.
Then there are some whose poultry
pays, yet the owners do not realize
that such is the fact, for the reason
that they keep no account.
Hens, to give profitable results,
must be given care and attention
and fed regularly those foods which
contain the properties necessary for
their welfare. Very many seem to
have an idea that hens will not lay
much in fall and winter any way:
that because they produce well in
the spring and summer thew will
rest the remainder of the year: be-
| lieving, too that it is out of the NAT
ural laying season. This may be
i true with some breeds and f1ocks
but not with our pure and weIl-breyl
utility fowls. A bird that is bred
| from laying strain and is matured
and of a laying age will Law in the
fall and winter, and good supply
of eggs too, if we make their winter

which they live in spring and sum

"Potatomatoes."

In grating the tomato on the po-
tato, or the potato on the tomato,
or in making any other graft OF
similar herbaceous plants, the simp-
Ter methods are preferred, says the
Country Gentleman. The saddle
graft and the splice-graft are the
ones most commonly used. The
spices graft is made by simply cut
ting the scions a smooth slanting
cut The stock is cut in the same
way and the two members are tied
together with their faces joined. In
order to get the best results, ii, is
desirable to have the CRAFTS made
of rather tender shoots, such az
have only partially hardened. In
order to get a proper union with this
sort of tissue, it is necessary that
the cut be made with very sharp
knife, preferably with a razor. The
two parts are then rather tenderly
Joined together using very soft cloth
bandages or moistened raffia. It is
desirable furthermore to cover the
grated plant with bell jar or hand
glass of some sort for a few days in
order to prevent too rapid evapora-
ton. If it is left exposed TO the
open air, especially if the atmosphere
is rather dry, the scion dries out
and willis SO badly that it cannot re-
cover. The saddle-graft is made by
cutting the stock wedge-shaped,
while the scion is cut with a V
shaped slit so that it will fit down
over the wedge of the stock The
rest of the process is carried out
exactly as already described for the
splice-graft.

ployer, though without any liking, he
soon grew to deteSt the man and had
much ado to keep up a show OF de-
cent civility in their intercourse. Of
better birth and breeding than
Starkey, he burned with resentment
at the scant ceremony with which
he was treated and loathed the mean
ness which could exact so much toll
for such poor remuneration. When
offering his terms Starkey had talked
in that bland way characteristic OF
him with strangers.
I'm really ashamed to propose no
thing better to man of your stand

Raising Chicks in Winter.

The success Of raising chicks in
cold weather depends upon the hen,
if they are raised with one. or upon
the management of the incubator,
if that is used. Some hens are more
careful with broods than others. 1t
is unnatural for a hen to become
broody in the winter, but some of
them will insist upon sitting even
during the coolest weather. When
the weather is extremely cold the
chicks are able to endure quite a
low degree of temperature without
difficulty if they can run under the
hen every now and then TO get
warm. But as some hens are more
active than others and will not stand
still long enough in winter for the
chicks to nestle, it is not always to
be depended upon that the chicks
will get warm when they desire.
When placing eggs under hen in
the winter it is best to take into
consideration when the eggs viii
hatch and watch them for the least
change in the weather. The best
mothers are the Brahmas and Coon
ms, as they are naturally indolent
and prefer to remain quiet. They
sometimes tread upon the chicks and
thereby quickly thin the brood to a
minimum number, but clumsiness is
not always the rule and they en-
deavor to do their best for the chicks
IN their care. Light hens are usl-
ally too restless to be winter moth
ers 1t is best, whatever mothers
are used. to confne all sitting hens
In coops or boxes so that they will
not race around, for the cold winds
are fatal to young chickens as well
as dampness. It is sometimes very
profitable to raise chicks in cold
weather, but choose the hens with
care and see that they look out for
their young.

Weevils and bean bugs are easily

only little should be used. or the
beans will be injured. A tablespoon
ful to bushel of grain is enough,
and the bin should be opened and
aired within three or four DAYS.
pound of carbon bisulphide is enough
to treat 100 bushels of grain, and
the last insect will be killed within
SO hours. Care should be taken not
to allow fire in any form to come

explode.

PORTO R|CANS IN TROUBLE
COUNCIL AND LEGISLATURE
CLASH OVER FUNDS.
Schools Closed and Policemen Dis
missed Until Attorney General
Decides Dispute.

Unless Attorney General Wickersham
constructs the laws governing the Porto
Rican executive council and legislature so
as to give the former body exclusive con-
troll over the budget of the island, as the
representatives of the executive council
now in Washington wish him to do,
Congress will have to take action in
the matter by enacting special legislation
to straighten out the tangle into which
the Porto Ricans have gotten themselves.
The Porto Rican troubles were the SUBJ
ject of much discussion at the cabinet
meeting yesterday. and the legal ques-
tons involved were turned over to the
Attorney General for settlement
The trouble arises from difference in
the construction of certain provisions of
the Foraker enabling act. The executive
council claims sole control Of the budget
Of concurrence.
A deadlock Is the net result of the dis
pute. Schools have been closed police
men have been dismissed and other
branches of the Porto Rican government
are at a standstill because of the failure
on the part of the legislative body to APP
propr1ate the necessary funds.
1t has been charged that the camara.
or lower house. is hotbed of revolution

sary for the United States to take control
with a firm hand II future trouble is to be
averted Attorney General Wickersham
and Henry NJ. Hoyt. the attorney general
of Porto Rico, had a full discussion of the
case yesterday afternoon. and Mr.. Wick
ersham has taken 1t under further con-
sideration 1t was stated at the Depart
ment of Justice today that no decision
had been reached. The situation must be
cleared UP before June 1. or a chaotic
condition will ensue In Porto Rico, owing
to a lack of funds to run the government.

LOOK FOR FRANCIS E. BLISS, jR.
POLICE SEARCH, ARMED WITH
EMBEZZLEMENT WARRANT.
Business Partner Prefers Charges.
Affair Recalls Tarring and Feath-
ering Incident Last Summer.

Francis E. Bliss, jr.. who was the victim
of sensational tarring and feathering,
according to his own statement, in a
house on Kenyon street last summer. is
being sought by the local police on the
strength of warrant issued at the re-
quest of his business partner. William G
Albrecht, charging him with embezzle-
ment.
Bliss is a member of the Bliss Albrecht
Paper Ruling Company, with offices In this
city and Baltimore. The Washington end
of the business was assigned to him, 1t
was stated, while William G. Albrecht
looked after the business in Baltimore. Ac-
cording to the story told by Mr. Albrecht to
the prosecuting attorney, Bliss had
nothing to do with the finances Of the
concern. and when payments were re-
ceived for local work 1t was his duty to
forward the same to Baltimore to be de-
posted by Albrecht. Bliss. salary and
share of the profits were paid 10 him di-
rect by check from the Baltimore office.
Alleged Discovery Of Shortage.
1t is alleged that instead of forwarding
local checks and drafts to Albrecht in
Baltimore recently, Bliss opened an &C
count here in the firms name and pro-
ceeded to draw the funds. 1t is asserted
by his accuser that shortage of 81 was
discovered last week and that further
investigation may increase the total.
A thorough inquiry. it is explained, is
being made Of the firms books in the
Washington Office. 10th and D streets,
and the result will be reported to the
United States attorney
The first intimation that anything was
wrong with the firms affairs in this city,
according to the story told the prose-
cutting officer was the failure Of Bliss
to appear in his office last Thursday. The
matter was called to the attention of the
Baltimore office, and either that day or
the day after an examination was made
of the books, with the result that the
findings were called to the attention of
Assistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given yesterday. A warrant was then
issued.
