EVANSVILLE CALHOUN COUNTY, w..

with a rather enigmatical smile on
his face. he would go back to his
| work. Later in the day, when his
employer returned in high humor
and would tell him of some deal that
was about to be contaminated, he
would chuckle softly to himself.
But the automobile trips did not
stop there. John Durham, rather
shyly, too, for a man of such large
business affairs, had asked IL he
might be allowed to call. Receiving
an affirmative answer, he availed
himself of it the next evening.
Thereafter he became a constant vis-
itor at the little home on North west
street, and at least once a week Miss
Dane and her mother were treated to
| spin through the park or out into
the country.
The Dane home was one of refine
ment and culture. Before the death
of Mr.. Dane, the family had been in
easy circumstances. After his death,
some of the seemingly gilt-edge in
vestments had turned out to be
worthless, and the family had been
reduced, not to poverty, but to very
modest circumstances. Durham was
made welcome here, not because of
his money, nor yet of his position,
but because of his true worth.
He appreciated his welcome, too.
For years he had been living alone
in his bachelor apartments, and the
touch OF real homelife with which
he came in contact in the Dane home
n ~
1t was one of these automobile
trips, when the mother had stayed
home on account of a severe head
ache, that the now prosperous STEM
ographer spoke thus to John Dun
ham in low tones, so that the chauf-
feur might not hear:
"Mr. Durham, 1 can't begin to
thank you for your kindness to me
in my business. On the day you first
gave me work 1 had almost given up
in despair. When you came into my
office 1 was merely typewriting exer-
cises l had had at school so that
might appear to be busy; and at the
same time l was wondering how
much longer 1 could afford to pay Of
flee rent and do no work. Now,
thanks to your kindness, / have to
employ girl to help me-"
You need not thank me, Miss
Dane" he replied. IF you had not
had ability, no one would have en-
ployed you the second time"
That may be true" she answered,
"but you helped them to find out my
ability"
Then John Durham did what some
may call a rash thing. You may
Judge for yourself. He leaned over
and whispered:
Don't you get tired of being die
tated to, darling? How would you
like to dictate to me for life?"
Fer a moment she sat very still.
Durham could feel her hand tremble
in his. Then she seemed to brace
herself, and, with just little quaver
in her voice, II believe I'd like it
right well, John" she murmured.-

Bounty on RattIesnakes in iowa.

What is considered the first freak
bill, although it is considered seri.
ously where reptiles are found in
large numbers, is a bill by Senator
Quigley providing for the payment of
q bounty of so cents for the killing
OF rattlesnakes. The rattles and two
inches of the tail of the reptile must
be presented at the Office OF the
County Auditor with an affidavit that

to the slayer.
1t is recalled in connection with

SONG.

When that loved a maiden
My heaven was in her eyes,
And when they bent above me
L knew no deeper skies:
But when her heart forsook me,
My spirit broke its bars,
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyo nd the stars.
When that loved maiden
She seemed the world to me:
Now is my soul in the universe
My dreams-the sky and seal
There is no heaven above me,
No glory binds or bars
My grief beyond the sunset,
My love beyond the stars.
When that loved maiden
worshiped where she trod;
But when she Glove my heart. the clef
Set free the imprisoned God;
Then was i king of all the world,
My soul had burst its bars
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars.

OF Interest TO Cotton Planters.

The State Crop Pest Commission
has just completed the printing of its
circular No. 26 upon tests of different
early maturing varieties of cotton in
the weevil- infested sections Of the state.
In addition to describing the variety
experiments made in 1908, the circular
gives a summary Of all variety tests
made by the commission during the
past four years. The comparative
production of the following varieties
is given: Keno, Hawkins Early Pro-
life, Seago, Improved Peterkin, Me-
bane Triumph, Rowden, Simpkins,
King, Southern Missouri, Toole's
Early Prolific and Cook Improved.
A chapter is also devoted to ferti.
lizer experiments made on the Red
river soils and at Mansura, La, on
upland, during 1908. Experiments of
particular interest, made with nitrate
of soda for fastening early growth of
the crop, are included.
The concluding chapter OF the circn-
lar deals with the question of whether
or no late planting can solve the
weevil problem and the results Of ex-
periments to settle this question are
given, both for Louisiana and Texas.
The commission has not the avail
able funds with which to print large
edition Of this bulletin and it has
therefore been decided to send it only
to those who are sufficiently interested
to write for it. The circular is free
to all Louisiana planters. To secure
it address postal card to the Crop
Pest Commission at Baton Rouge, La,
asking for copy OF Circular 26. =

"Faust" never loses it's attraction
for theatre-goers. if one may judge by
the large audiences that are greeting
the performances Of the noted play all
along the line. It is one of the stage
classics, which, with the spectacular
electrical features, makes it appeal
strongly to ali classes. One never
tires OF the sorrows of beautiful
Marguerite" or the weird fascin alton
of ''Mephisto. y The play is too well
known to need special description.
An added feature this season with
Porter J. Whites aFaust is a trained
choir of seven voices for the great
Cathedral scene. This famous drama
will be seen at the Gondran Theatre
tonight, and the advance sale of seats
indicates that the audience will be an
exceptionally large one.
