thousand farmers have been touched and influenced.
 The negro farmer is gradually waking up to the fact that he cannot make cot ton at a profit where all of his supplies have to be bought to produce it, and that he cannot raise meat at prift on imported corn. The demonstration work is now organized in most every commun- ity in this county, under what Is known as the farmers school of instruction and all demonstrators aand "co-operators" are members. Meetings are held once a month in order to plant something in the minds of the people that will last from one month to the other. The Jesup wag- on is driven to all of the meeting places, carrying as far as possible. samples of things to be discussed. For instance, when the subject chances to be How to keep a good garden twelve months," the wagon Is fitted up with a portable gar den and driven to the meeting place and there concrete illustrations are given.
 Since the spring of 1907 the demonstra- tioh work has spread very rapidly. As soon as its object was found out, people from all parts were clamoring for in- struotion. Public schools, institutions and farmers all alike are anxious to have the U. s. Department establish the work in their communities The work is now

AF TER FIFTY YEARS HE WOES AND WINS Surrendered Girl to Brother
 the First Time WAY CLEARED BY DEATH David Knee Returns From California and Weeds Woman to Whom He
 Was Engaged in Ohio Half
 Century Ago.

Omaha--Fifty years ago, when Cupid tried his hand at uniting David Knee and Miss Alwilda Osborne, he made a botoh of the job. He tried 1t again last week and was successful David Knee, aged 78 years, a resident of California, and Mrs. Alwilda Knee, 67, of Platts- mouth. Neb-, widow of brother of the bridegroom. are now husband and wife.
 Fifty years ago David Knee and fam fly lived near the village of Nettlelane. O., and across the border In Indiana lived the Osborne family, of which Miss AL wilda was a member, and whom David courted with might and main and was supposed to have won until his younger brother. John, took hand in the game and commenced paying attention to Miss Osborne. It was difficult for her to choose between the two Knees, but she finally settled upon David.
 Breaks the Engagement.
 David would have felt thoroughly hap py if the sting of jealousy had not en- tered his soul. and in the course of a quarrel he accused Miss Osborne of car ing more for his brother than she did for
 
 tried to explain David would not listen. A few days later he packed his belongings and wont to California and hired out as farm hand
 Three years later he was married to California girl, and when Miss Osborne learned it she accepted the attention of the young Knee, and after a courtship of respectable length they were married. Twenty years ago they moved to Platts- mouth. Neb.. bought farm. put it un- der cultivation, and in due time had a fortune of $l00,000. Two years ago John Knee died. There were no children, and Mrs Knee was left alone to manage the farm and the financial affairs.
 Learns of Brothers Death.
 Out in California fortune had smiled upon David Knee and he accumulated property estimated to be worth s200 000. Six years ago his wife died. At that time he had not heard of the removal of his brother to Nebraska, but one day he learned of it by chance from Nebraska tourist who was doing California. Hun gering for further information he sub scribed for a Plattsmouth paper. and each week he read the little sheet with great interest, hoping to find an item re- lating to the Knees. One week he found 1t. It was the notice of the death of John Knes, one of the wealthiest and most prominent men of the community. Soon after this David Knee wrote to the widow of his brother. the Alwilda Os- borne whose hand he had sought 50 years before.
 These letters were followed by many others, and few months ago David Knee sold his California possessions and came on to Plattsmouth and visited Mrs. John Knee at her splendid country home and fy,uf fa1 tn a ba calls were frequent.
 Mrs. Knee declared that she needed a man about the place to look after her property, and David Knee expressed the opinion that he was greatly in need of a wife The rest was easy.

Success and Happiness.

There is always a cloud on his face, because he is constantly expecting some- thing unfavorable Is going to happen. There is going to be a slump In business, or he Is going to have a loss, or some body is stealing from him or trying to undermine him; or he is worried about his health or fears his children will be sick or go wrong or be killed, writes Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga- zine.
 In other words, although he has achieved quite a remarkable success, yet he has never really had a happy day in his life. All his life this man has been chasing ainbows-thinking if he could only get little further on, little higher up, if he could only achieve this or that, he would be happy; but he is just as far from it as when he was a boy.
 I believe this condition has all come from the habit of unhappness which he formed during his hard boyhood, and which he has never been able to over come. He has learned to look for trou- ble. to expect it and gets 1t.
 I have been his guest many time. He ffas beautiful home, a charming wife, a most delightful family; but there Is
