StpDDage of Milk Flow.

A very common trouble in every
dairy is to find an animal with the
point of the teat closed, either due to
bruise of teat itself or to Infection
of the milk duct which causes a lit
tie scab to form, and unless this Is
properly handled with care and clean
illness the infection is apt to cause
loss of the entire quarter. Thoroughly
wash the part in an antiseptic solu-
ton; then dip teat plug into a heal
ing ointment and insert it, allowing
same to remain from one milking to
another. In this manner closure can
be overcome in a very simple and sat

THE BoBBS- MERRILL COMPANY

A few days after Evelyn Porter came
home, Wheaton followed Raridan to his
room one evening after dinner. Raridar
had set The Bachelors an example of
white flannelS for the warm weather, and
Wheaton also had abolished his evening
clothes. Rardan's rooms had not yet
lost their novelty for him. The pictures
the statuettes, the books, the broad couch
with its heap of vari-colored pillows, the
table with its candelabra, by winch Rari
dan always read certain of the poets
these still had their mystery for Whea-
ten.
Going out tonight" he asked with
a show of indifference.
Hadn't thought of it," answered Rari-
dan, who was cutting the pages of a
magazine.
Don't let me interrupt if you're read
Ing" said Wheaton. But l thought
some of dropping in at Mr.. Porter's.
Miss Porter's home now, | believe
That's good idea" said Raridan,
who saw what was wanted. He threw
his magazine at the cat and got up and
yawned. Suppose we do goa"
The call had been successfully man
aged. Miss Porter was very pretty. and
not so young as Wheaton expected to
find her. Raridan left him talking t.
her and went across to the library, whore
Mr.. Porter was reading his evening pa
per. Raridan had a way of wandering
about in other peoples houses, which
Wheaton envied him. Miss Porter seemed
to take his call as a matter of course,
and when her father came out presently
and greeted him casually as if he were a
familiar of the house he left relieved and
gratifed.

they walked back and forth In front OF
the house, talking gaily; and Porter
smiled at the eagerness and quickness OF
her movements, Saxton's deliberateness
contrasted oddly with the girls light step.
Such a girl must marry man worthy
of her; there could be no question of
that; and for the first time the thought
of losing her rose in his heart and numb
ed it.
Evelyn and Saxton had met the 9th
ers, who were coming up from the walks
and there was a redistribution at the
house; it was too beautiful to go in. they
said. and the strolling abroad continued
A great flood of moonlight poured over
the grounds. A breeze stole up from
the valley and made a soothing rustic in
the trees.
Evelyn and Wheaton heard the sound
of the piano through the open windows
and a girls voice broke gaily into song
Its Belle. She does sing those coon
songs wonderfully. Let us wait here I'M
til she finishes this one" The sun porch
opened from the dining room. They
could see beyond it, into the drawing
room; the singer was in plain view. sit,
ting at the piano; Raridan stood facing
her, keeping time with an imaginary
baton.
A man came unobserved to the glass
door of the porch and stood unsteadily
peering in, He was very dirty and bal
anced himself in that abandon with which
intoxicated men belle ,cewton's discov-
cry. He had gained the top step with
difficulty; the light from the window
blinded him and for moment he stood
within the inclosure blinking. An ugly
grin spread over his face as he made out
the two figures by the window, and he
began a laborious journey toward them.

lie tried to uptOe, and this added fur
ther to his embarrassments but the fig
ures by the window were intent on the
song and did not hear him. He drew
slowly nearer; one more step and ht
would have concluded his journey. He
poised on his toes before taking it, but
the law of gravitation now asserted it
self. He lunged forward heavily, casting
himself upon Wheaton, and nearly knock
ing him from his feet
Jimmy" he blurted in a drunker
voice. "Jim-my.'
Evelyn turned quickly and shrank back
with cry. Wheaton was slowly rallying
from the shock of his surprise. He grab
bed the man by the arms and began push
ing him toward the door.
Don't be alarmed he said over his
shoulder to Evelyn, who had shrunk back
against the wall 'I'll manage him."
This, however, was not so easily done
The tramp, as Evelyn supposed him to be
had been sobered by Wheaton's attack
He clasped his fingers about Wheaton, s
throat and planted his feet firmly. He
clearly intended to stand his ground, and
he dug his fingers into Wheaton's neck
with the intention of hurting.
Father" cried Evelyn once, but the
song was growing noisier toward its end
and the circle about the piano did not
hear. She was about to call again when
a heavy step sounded outside on the walk
and Bishop Delaield came swiftly into
the porch. He had entered the grounds
from the rear and was walking around
the house to the front door
Quick that man there-I'll call the
others ~ cried Evelyn, still shrinking
against the wall. Wheaton had been
forced to his knees and his assailant was
choking him. But there was no need of
other help. The bishop had already seized
the tramp about the body with his great
hands, tearing him from Wheaton's neck
He strobe, with the squirming figure in
his grasp, toward an open window at the
back of the glass inclosure, and pushed
the man out. There was a great snort
ing and threshing below. The hill dipped
abruptly away from the side of the mouse
and the man had fallen several feet, into
flower bed.
"Get away from here" the bishop
said, in his deep voice, ''and be quick
down the slope toward the street.
The bishop walked back to the window.
The others had now hurried out in re
sponse to Evelyn's peremptory calls, and
she was telling of the tramp's visit, while
Wheaton received their condolences, and
readjusted his tie. His collar and short
front showed signs of contact with dirt,

others piled her with questions, land be

"Oh. he's gone now, Mr.. Porter" said
Wheaton, coolly, as he restored his tie.

"Yes, let him 60" said the bishop, wip-

Flowers as Food.

An interesting development Of the
use Of flowers for food is recorded in
the daily papers, says the London
Globe. The use of candied petals of
the violet as sweetmeat has long
been known, but the practice is now

he has to dread is the competition OF
The pauper himself, who invades the
country and beats down the rate OF
wages ana the standard OF living.
Every man al all familiar with the
facts knows that the tariff is not the
cause of high wages. On the con
trary. high wages are the cause OF
the tariff, or one of its causes. Wages
are neither raised nor lowered by i'm
port duties, but the purchasing power
of wages is most disastrously affected
by them. The tariff diminishes the
purchasing power OF every dollar
earned in this country. 1t pretends,

WHY ALL THIS INDIGNATION?
People Complain Of Petty Thievery by
Sugar Trust. Yet Submit to Ex.
tortion OF Millions.

IL is one OF the curious indications
of the haziness of public opinion on
subjects in which economics and
ethics are intermngled that the prac.
tical confession of the sugar trust
that it has defrauded the government
out OF at least s2,O00,0O0 in the last
ten years by cheating in weights,
evokes an almost unanimous chorus of
condemnation and contempt. Even
the corporate organs which are wont
to lend their laudation to the triumph
of the trusts in securing big dividends
by artificially enhancing prices are
forced to exhibit Indignation and sor.
row over this mean and contemplate
theft.
Yet, except upon the postulate long
ago cynically formulated that it is
only the comparatively small offenses
that are criminal and despicable we
see little ground for this revulsion at

the trust The new information is
that the sugar trust has been cheat

which are inevitable, but in connection
with the donunciations of those that
