Among other things they will buy 200
dozen eggs. 20 tons of hay so pounds of
butter. 100 gallons of milk, 1000 pounds
of meat. ten barrels of flour, eight cords
of wood, 100 bushels of oats and other
things in the same proportions.
The performances to be given here
will be exact duplicates of those pre-
scented at Madison Square Garden, New
York. The opening there was the
greatest in the history of amusement

The first event of interest in the

EVENING


Loving is a far greater thing than
being loved.
And yet how few people look at it
that way.
A woman who has allowed herself to
win a mans love without possessing
the power to return it is frequently
proud of the fact She should be most
thoroughly ashamed.
The woman who has fallen in love
with a man who does not love her is
frequently ashamed of the fact She
has infinitely more reason to be proud
than the other woman.
The saddest thing in life is to give
great love and not have it returned
But the most tragic thing in life is
never to have loved at all
Anyone who goes through life with
out ever loving someone else better
than himself, even if only for brief
time, is spiritually defective.
OF two unmarried women whom
knew, one was Tilted on the eve of her
wedding day because her lover found
that after all he cared for another
woman. The other never married
though two or three men were said to
have laid their hearts at her feet.
Of these two the real "old maid
the unattractive, soured woman to-
days not the woman who failed to
win true love, but the woman who did
not know how to love.
I believe that anyone who gives an
unrequited affection gets more hap
piness, however bittersweet it may be-
than anyone who is the object of such
an affection.
l am not advising any man or wom-
an to foster a love that is plainly one
sided. But 1 do say, if you find that

good results because improving the
physical texture of the soil by furnish

of commercial fertilizers which may be

On light sandy soils with porous
subsoil, the use per acre of from 225
to 275 pounds of basic Stag or acid

should be applied with the barnyard
manure during winter The sulphate
of potash and about one-third of the
nitrate of soda may be narrowed in
lightly along the rows after the usual
rainy period of spring. The remainder
of the nitrate of soda should be ap-
piled in two applications, at the begin
ming Of the cutting season and a few
weeks later. On somewhat heavier
soils, in which the subsoil contains
considerable clay content, the authors
recommend the use per acre of from

be given when the asparagus of pot

FANCY PINcUSHIONS.

Is it too early to plan and make
few Christmas presents? l think not,
for what a pleasant glow of righteous
ness accompanies the feeling that one
is well prepared in advance for the sea-
son. l think perhaps the reason so
many people begin their presents
about the last day of November IS
that they cannot think of anything I'M
til the flying of time drives them TO a
sort of desperate gathering of forces
and last quick decision.
To help those who find either so few
or so many things to make that they
cannot decide which to do, l thought l
would suggest a few dainty pincushions
that may be begun on the porch even
on the hottest days. They will none of
them take very long, and they all of
them will make lovely little gifts for
ones relatives and friends.
Almost every one wants a pretty
cushion, and if you make several
of these out of pompadour ribbon and
pack them with pine needles or rose
leaves instead of sawdust, you will
have some very acceptable gifts all
ready for the holiday season. 1 should
suggest that you buy yard of pompa-
dour ribbon about six inches wide and
an equal amount of plain pink ribbon.
Make one side of the cushion of plain
and the other of fancy silk. and let the
joining seams be hidden by few
bands of either narroWest gold braid
or gold embroidery strands. This is
not expensive, and a cushion like this
will need no further ornamentation. If
you prefer white linen cushions. then
get few four inch doillies and work
eyelets in them about half an inch
between two of these and lace the
doilies together with baby ribbon. 1t is
easy. and the doiies are not at all eX
pensive. 1 should buy only round ones
with scalloped edges, for they lace up
better than do the square ones.
If these two kinds of pin cushions do
not appeal to you, then why not some
of silk, and cover them with linen lace?
The frilly cushions are of the past, but
lovely plain ones may be made, if you
choose your materials with care and
an eye to the beautiful. In making
cushions for gifts never let them meas
ure more than a few inches in diam

Ingersoll came of a distinguished
ancestry, among whom were some of
the first settlers in America His ia
Their was clergyman of the Presby-
terrain faith, gloomy and austere and
the bitterness against all religion.
manifested in later years by the great
agnostic may have been due in some
measure to recollections of the harsh
creed taught him in his youth.
Although born in te Empire state,
Illinois claims Ingersoll as one of
her most distinguished sons. 1t was
in Peoria that Ingersoll first tasted
fame. The house in which he lived
when first resident of Illinois city
still stands and is now occupied by
alleged, as a Y M. c. A. building. AS
a devotee Of Lady Nicotine, Ingersoll
would probably prefer the former and
actual use to which his home has
been put.
In Peoria Ingersoll achieved dis
tinction, and in return he conferred
distinction upon the town. The peo
pie there knew him best and loved
him most. and to them belongs the
privilege of rearing the first monu-
ment to his memory. He moved there
from Shawneetown, ILL.,, in 1857, then
a young lawyer of twenty-four years.
At Peoria he received his commits
sion as colonel of the Eleventh ILL
nois cavalry; he left there in Febru-
airy, 1862, with his regiment, and re-
turned there after his experience as
a soldier and prisoner of war. He
there arose to be one of the first law
yers in the state and nation; was
elected encouragement of Illinois in
1866. and might have been governor
two years later if he would have con-
scented to silence on the subject OF
religion. He married in Peoria; his
daughters were both born there, ana
even after he removed to Washington.
ID. c.. in 1877 and later to New York
city. his name and that of Peoria
were still intimately associated.
Ingersolls' genius as an orator first
gained national recognition in 1876,
when in glowing phrase he urged
that the republican national conven-
ton nominate for the presidency
James G.. Blaine, whom he termed
1.-The plumed knight"
He was promt in politics, always
as a republican, for many years, and
only religious prejudice kept him
from attaining high office. In fact
MANY astute politicians have declared
that his natural ability to sway men
was such that the presidency would
have been in his reach. had he not
given such strong expression to his
hostile views on religious topics.

widaspread idea that Washington soils
are well supplied with potash mas
doubtless had more or less influence
in limiting the use of this valuable
plant food to considerably greater
extent than the facts really warrant.
while il Is true that Walla Walla val
ley soils are well supplied with potash
yet it is further true that the, use OF
a general fertilizer, especially for IN
tensi--c culture, is very frequently oe-
manded. Particularly is this the case
in those parts of the state with sucn
crops as draw heavily upon this ele-
ment, and also those which have been
found to respond readily to it, The up
lands generally, and especially on those
which have been growing fruits and
crops for a number of years, are far
more abundantly supplied with avail
able potash, as numerous published
analyses have shown. This may also
be said of such soils as are devoted to
the production of celery and asparagus.
On all soils profitable fertilization
should always include some form of
potash.
One of the crops which is likely to
show the best results from the use of
potsh, especially if used in connection
with nitrogen and phosphoric acid is
asparagus.
Our western asparagus growers
who are producing such large shoots
from their asparagus plants, will soon
need to look closely into fertilizing. The
best asparagus grows on light peat
lands of the reclaimed islands. While
these are very rich in organic mat
ter they are frequently found to re-
spond readily to the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers. The experiment sta
tons have been working on this sub
ject for three years, and publishes

Gossips have been very hardly pun
ished by poets and the people VINO
make dictionaries They call them the
conveyers of foolish scandal those
who run from house to house telling
false news" pratters and tattlers, full
of envy and malice, and all uncharl-
tahleness. And nearly everybody VINO
talks about gossips is referring to
women, though one could name good
many of the other sex who are inveter-
ate prattlers.
If is true however, that women are
the chief sinners, that they cause
much inter domestic trouble, and waste
much time and breath in discussing
other neighbors with their neighbors.
one can still add, thankfully, that
there is virtue in it for the poor mean
and crowded streets. 1t is a vent,
safety valve, an output of intolerance

tons of life A much better vent than
the adjournment TO the nearest saloon

ance. Much better is it to rag neigh
Dor over the fence, or exchange compll-
ments across the landing. than to bolt
out of the fat, disheveled and furious,
leaving some of the youngsters at home

knowledge of organizations and combl-

is in a vicious circle of gossip, ana
