Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.-Ap-
parently the house committee on rules
of which the speaker is chairman
has offered the olive branch to the in
surgents, and it is said the fight for
changes in the rules OF the house will
be compromised.
The conservative element of the in
surgent forces, who have confined
their efforts to getting calendar
Tuesday," or one day in the week for
the consideration of bills of the house
calendars, was given hearing by
the rules committee today. It is un-
derstood that the committee agreed

to report substitute embodying the
main features of the resolution in
troduced by the eight insurgents
which proposed to amend rules so chat
the members of the house would be
able to obtain recognition on the -oor
without the necessity of arranging with
the speaker before hand.
While the conservatives, Represen-
tatives TOWNSEND, Michigan; Foster:
Vermont, Scott Campbell, Kansas;
Parsons, New York Mclaughlin
Michigan, and Rowland, Ohio, declare
they are as radical as the element
headed by Representative: Garner of
Massachusetts, they claim that favor

COOKING ON THE TRAIL.

Making Bread Without Bread Pan
Keeping Coffee From Boiling Over.
Our guide allowed me to assist him
in preparing the breakfast, though
fancy my assistance might have been
easily dispensed with. He sagely re-
marked that if I was going to rough
it I might as we'll begin learning now
as any time. 1t was astonishing how
appetizing a meal he prepared with
the very fewest conveniences.
For instance, he made bread in the
sack of -four without using bread
pan. He followed out a cavity in the
flour, poured in water, added salt and
baking powder in proper quantities,
then proceeded to mix the dough. He
did another thing in his cooking that
amused me very much. To prevent
the coffee boiling over he placed a
small green willow stick across the
open top Of the pot. The lesson in
physics soon followed.
The coffee dubbed and then rushed
up to the top of the pot as though it
was going to boil over the sides and
extinguish the fire, but as soon as 1t
touched the willow it subsidized like
some sentient thing.

Goats Need Much Exercise.-Goats
need great amount of exercise, much
more than sheep. The one is by ma
ture a browser and the other grazer,
and the browsing habit naturally re-
CURES more activity on the part of the
goats. They are sensitive to restraint
and do better IL not herded, but of
course herding is often a necessity
and therefore should be done under as
favorable circumstances as possible.
They should not be allowed to feel
their restraint. If constant attendance
is necessary, the herder should be of
quiet disposition. The next best thing
to the freedom of range is a large
pasture, where the goats may have
oversight, but not constant atten-
dance. Such pastures are considered
the cheapest method Of keeping these
goats. They can easily be trained to
come home by feeding little and
sailing regularly at home.

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Face in the MOONLIGHT

Il wonder who puts those flowers
On his grave?" said Bonholt Hume to
himself, sitting with contracted brows
in tie old hall on the outskirts of
Wildfell, where since Philip Hume's
death he had been master. He had
been heir-at-law, the last of the
Humes, and Philip had died intestate
The thought had haunted him for
days-the white flowers that were
constantly put on Philip Hume's
grave. He would have asked the par
son, only there had been a constraint
between him and Stephen Ruthen
since that day when the latter had
seen him through the window peering
into that drawer which had been
locked in his study at the rectory.
Bonholt Hume knew that his glib
explanation had not satisfied the rec
tor, though neither had referred to
the matter since; indeed, the two
men had scarcely spoken since then
having rather avoided each other, and
Bonholt realized that his explanation
could not have appeared very convinc-
ing; for, as it happened, Stephen
Ruthen's belief that he had locked
that drawer, where for weeks until
that day a revolver had lain, staining
the sermon paper with little blot Of
rust, was correct; and for some rea-
son, best known to himself, Bonholt
had unlocked that drawer in the
search for something - something
which he had not found.
1t was so strange-some one who
put fresh white flowers almost daily
on the grave of the murdered man.
Who could it be? A woman, of
course. Doubtless many women had
played a part in Philips life, though
there had been no condolences be-
tween the two young men, but Bon
holt had never heard of any such liv-
ing in the neighborhood; he had
thought his fate alone wrapped up
with dead Philip Hume's fate. This
daily act looked like that of some
woman who had loved Philip Hume.
1t puzzled him; somehow it made
him vaguely uneasy.
Ito Be continued.)

For generations men have watched
this plant and have realized it's i'm
portance. They have seen its ire
mendous yields west of the Missouri
river and in the arid state, and many
farmers realizing it's value have tried
to grow it in the eastern and central
states. Unfortunately, some portions
OF the country are not naturally adapt
ed to growing this plant, and there
have been many failures, which have
discouraged the farmers. We are glad
to note now, however, that scientific
study of the subject appears to have
solved practically all of the troubles,
ard that it is possible to grow this
p.'nt in any state in the Union, and
to make it succeed in splendid condi-
ton even where the soil is not natural
ly adapted to it. Men are doing this
all over the country to-day, says G.
b. Wing in the Farmers Review, max
ing their soil right where it is not
so naturally, and their success is in
spring. Entirely too much mystery
has been made of the growing Of al
falfa, so that many farmers hesitate
about trying it, simply because jones
recommends one method and Smith
another and the uninitiated are uncer-
tain as to what the proper way really
Is. Alfalfa really requires four things:
Lime, drainage, incubation the condi-
We think We have stated the condi.
tons in the order of their relative i'm
portance. We believe there have teen
more failures throughout the country
owing to the lack of sufficient lime in
the soil than from any other single
cause; and we feel sure that the inter.
est that is now being taken in the
question of lime, and the number of
men who are using lime on land on
which they contemplate sowing a]fal-
ia, will result in very large increase
in the acreage of this plant. Formerly
it was supposed that there were al
falfa BELTS throughout the eastern
and central states which were the
only places in which alfalfa could be
successfully grown; but this theory
is now rapidly becoming obsolete, be-
cause many are changing their condi-
lions sufficiently to permit splendid
success with alfalfa ~ every state in
the union, and this in the face of the
fact that many of their localities were
very ill-suited to it's growth. 1t now
seems to careful observers that the
reason why alfalfa succeeded so splen-
didly west of the Mississippi river is

A NEGRO WOMAN SCULPTOR.

Miss Edmonia Lewis. the colored

well nigh forgotten her existence.
Miss Lewis is of mixed African and
Indian blood, her father having been
a negro and her mother an Indian Of
the Chippewa tribe in New York, in
which state she was born, near Al
bany, some time about the year 1910.
Her parents died while she was still
child, and she lived and roamed
with her mothers people until she
was fifteen, when by the assistance

had wonderful power with her hands
