NOTHING WILL

| The investigators since the growing
of crops began have searched for fer
tilizers for things that would make
plants grow. Yet they have found
nothing that equals common manure.
This is natures fertilizer. Plants re-

north as they grow. BY using ii in
diligently the fertile soils OF North
Dakota or of Illinois can be made 10

most, yes twice, what could be secured
without it.

to the field. In some cases when IL
contains good deal of weed seed IT
may be advisable to let 1t Law in a

sometimes causes too big a growth of

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
o. Henry Was Shade Smarter Than
the Magazine Man.

A friend of the late o. Henry
writes of him: HE was reckless in
spending money and frequently gave
elevator boys and bellboys five and
ten dollar notes. But he wasn't
easy despite his financial regardless
ness.
His friends recently narrated an
incident showing the mans shrewd-
ness. A magazine noted for SLOW
pay they said. contracted with him
for a three part story for which he
was to receive $500. He got $500
advance before starting to work and
when he turned in the second INSTALL
ment (none of it had been printed
yeti he got $500 more and asked for
the third $500 as an advance before
finishing the tale.
The editor in an effort to save
money apparently declared that, af-
ter all, the story didn't appear to be
worth more than $1,OOO-this when
he had the two installments in his
office.
"All right said o. Henry; 4
won't write the third one then And
he didn't. He laughed at the editor.
"'Well, them said the latter, I'll
run the two parts and then let our
readers have a guessing contest as
to how the story ends-and put up,
perhaps, a $500 prize to the winner.

he was outwitted. Then he said:

A Crows Stratagem.

A crow had been captured by the
children in a southern family and
brought home and tanned. They were
very fond Of the crow and treated it
with kindness. AS in most houses
where there are children, there
was also a pet cat. The cat and crow
were not friendly.
One day an unusually nice morsel
was given to the cat. This the crow
not only looked at with envious eyes,
but made several attempts to secure
The cat beat off each attempt, how
ever, and the crow had to resort to
stratagem.
Disappearing through the open door
he returned in few moments with a
long string that had been travelled
from a rag carpet. Placing this on the
floor some little distance in front OF
the cat, he proceeded to wrigglc it as
he had seen the children do when
playing with the cat The cat instant
ly jumped to catch the string. This
was, of course, exactly what the crow
wanted and he pOunced upon the COW
eted morsel and flew away with it.

He Never Came Back.

upon everything in the sleepy little viii
lage, and a tall, handsome girl-well
-er-let's say young woman, and not
bother about how many summers-but
with a rather worn expression in her
large gray eyes, stood talking to a boy
10 or II years of oldness who was
gathering nasturium seeds.
Where is the Niobe now, Georgie?'

"Oh. yes: he asked how you was"
The girl's-that is, we mean the

her emotion, she asked:
He asked after me, did he?"
yes, he did. He asked if there was
any likelihood of your turning a nun

so he'd come back and settle down
quietly: otherwise, he thought he

How to Get Rabbits.

Il read in the newspapers few
days ago about an Indiana man getting
rabbits by painting burrows on rocks
and urging the cottontails to break
their necks in their dash for safety,
said Win C. Sleigh of Corning. last
night at the Iroquois hotel. But
you haven't got to go to Indiana
to learn of novel ways of catching
rabbits.
Down in Steuben county the rab-
bits are not so numerous as they were,
but enough of the little animals are
around to furnish some good sport.
However, there was one fellow whom
I knew who always could go out and
get some game-and without gun.
In almost any kind of weather when
rabbits were running he would bring
back a half dozen or so. 1 am quite
a hunter myself. but this man, Grady.
John Grady was his full name, had
it on me. 1t nettled me, too. There
are some other good rabbit hunters
down there, Ed Gray, Ben Huntley
and Earl Henderson, and we all agreed
that we must find out Grady's secret.
But the slaughter went along for
two years before we solved Grady's
success. and then it was by accident.
One day 1 was in the woods eating
a lunch, when 1 saw Grady along
rabbit runway a little ways below me-
He didn't see me. 1 saw him put
something on a large fiat stone, and
walk away. After he had gone 1 in
vestigated.
And what do you think the stuff
was? Cayenne pepper! The idea was
the rabbits would come along, get
whiff of the pepper, sneeze and beat
their brains out against the stone.
There are some people who Will
doubt that story, but-"Buffalo FX-
