They ran up a narrow staircase

table in the middle OF the room !;
and lying on sofa was a remark
ably beautiful woman. She was
not young, for her hair was white

were superb.
AS soon as Wanda entered. she
jumped up and threw her arms
around her, exclaiming:

Wanda could hardly speak.
Presently she said:
"How could you be SO impru-
dent as to come.here?"

Alexandra.
In a few moments Wanda look

both of them were disguised.
"YOu are superb, Litzanoff!',
she said; land you, too, Padlew-

instantly %went to the princess
with the news.
Wanda dressed herself hastily,
and leaning out of her window

servants adored her, for she treat

cation of Meredith Nicholson's IA
nous book. 1t contains many
effective theatrical moments.
The action of the play takes
place at Glenarm House. AMMAN
dale, Indiana, during the last
summer. From this mansion old
John Glenarm secretly departs,
leaving the impression that he is
dead, that he may the better learn
what sort of men are Pickering,
the executor of his estate, and
John Glenarm, his grandson and
possible heir, and, if the thing be
possible, to bring about a mar
riage between the young man and
Marian Devereaux, the alternate
heir.
He confides his plans to Bates
the butler, the serving man who
is too good a servant to be one"
and pledges Bates to secrecy.
Things might have gone smooth
ly enough had it not been that
old Glenarm left behind him a
strange and unusual will with
clauses and provisions therein as
whimsical as the old mans fancy,
and, as executor of it, certain
Pickering. Upon the testament
turns a thrilling story of mystery.
About it all is woven a pretty ro-
nance.
The part of Marina Devereaux,
the heroine, will be taken by Miss
Margaret Oswald. The other men,
bers of the cast will be as fol-
lows: John Marshall Glenarm,
Nj. Edward Lawrence; John Glen

Have a Good Garden

What we eat is about half our
living expenses, and what can be
grown in the home garden may
ma Ike up a large share of what
we eat. 1t is simply surprising to
fin d how many and how much
good things can be grown in the
garden with good soil, good plants
and good cultivation. 1 remem-

up the value of our garden pro-

Lost Two Good Horses

Hard luck comes once in a while
to most all of US. Just now it
seems to be around E. L. Allen.
First of last week one of his stand
by horses in some mysterious way
broke its leg and Ed decided to
kill the animal. The last of the
week, Saturday, another one and
one of his best ones was kicked
by another horse and its leg brok-
en- in two places. A veterinary
was called and the bones set, but
the result is doubtful. This is
pretty hard and rather peculiar
for such similar accidents to occur
the same week. Later:- The

Rural school questions, with
special reference to the teaching
of agriculture, were discussed at
length and consolidation of dis
tricts urged by many in order that
the country boy and girl may have
educational advantages equal to
those afforded the city child.
There were papers, discussions
and addresses on almost every
subject in which the Missouri far
mer is interested. The program
was, in so far as possible, a "show
me" one, with demonstrations,
stock and grain judging, dairy,
apple and corn shows. DR.. j. w.
Connaway gave a demonstration
in the methods of the control of
hog cholera, after a talk on the
control of the disease. This, like
other features, is of vital interest
to Missouri farmers.

be come the big educational gath
ering of the year for Missouri
farmers and it's influence is far

National Stock Yards, ILL.,, Jan.
IL, 1909.-Cattle receipts $500.
Supplies materially reduced by
heavy snow storms which delayed
trains on all roads. The few cattle
on sale found an active demand at
generally steady prices. In the
butcher cattle trade some sales
look 10c higher. The best steers
were .1177 Id. Kansas which sold
at $3.50; fancy native beeves are
quotable up to SITS. The best
heifers here were 500 lb. weights
which sold at 5000; something
fancy would probably reach $500.
No good feeders here and a liber-
eral run of that kind is wanted
and would find active outlet at
good prices.

Great Farmers Meeting at Columbia.

The Missouri farmer who was
present at the Farmers Week"
meeting held at Columbia last
week under direction of the Mis-
souri, State Board of Agriculture
is the only one who can properly
appreciate the profit and pleasure
that it is possible to get out of
such a meeting. The attendance
exceeded 1000, and the men and
women who came from the many
Missouri farm homes went back
better satisfied with their occupa-
tiops, more enthusiastic as to their
work and more hopeful for the fu-
tn re. Important as was the actual
ms truction to be had, the enthus ST.
asm and the broader, better,
brighter outlook which the visitor
ca fried home Ia of vastly more inn
portance. Then this meeting is
just the plac- iNr Missouri farmers
to meet-for the cotton grower, the
o%rchardist, the corr king, the
s took raiser, the poultry fancier
nd men from all the widely sepa-
rated districts of Missouri to get
acquainted. This meeting and ex-
change of ideas is an education
within itself, then there is added
value of friendships formed.
At. the Farmers week meeting
t he Missouri live stock breeders,
8 heep breeders, corn growers,
dairymen, gswine breeders, horti-
culturalists, butter and cheese
m akers, road workers, bee keep

represented, the various associa-
tions holding separate meetings
in addition to the large general
m ceilings, which participated

alton, including such eminent
workers as Hon. w. N. Hays, as
