He'll make a rare husband, not too
young, and a little too fat, but gra-
cious! the fat never grew round his
heart"
Fanny nodded assent. Dave was
good and were 20 years. seniority
and too much avoirdupois to be
weighed against that quality?
The women heard the horse drive
into the yard; heard Dawes loud
voice shout 'Whoap' heard him tell
Ed to set the packages in the porch,
water the horses and come in to
breakfast. In a minute he entered
the room and in another he was sit
ting at the table in front of half a
dozen fried eggs and steaming cof-
fee. Ed was slow in following and
Mrs. Madden sent Fanny out to him
with a cup. The girl seemed loath
to 60.
AS soon as she had gone Dave got
up heavily. He was much too fat
for masculine grace-and mysteri-
ously brought in his bundles from
the porch.
"know what day this is, don't
you, mother? Well, l bought a dress
for Fan and | bought one for you,
too"
The woman was opening them
with EXPLANATIONS of delight.
"Both of 'em real silk. I declare.
Dave; it's too much. l. was telling
Fan she ought to marry you just
out of gratitude"
Dawes face fell.

LOVE STORY
By WILLIS

People called Dave Vajen a truck
farmer, but his widowed cousin and
her ~18-year-old daughter, Fanny,
who had lived with him since the
girl was a baby, called him a mar
ket gardener. Dave didn't care. He
was content to be the owner Of 10
acres of fruitful earth within haul
ing distance of the great city, con-
tent with his work that gave him
smre if small returns, and more than
content at the prospect Of happiness
life held out to him. Some day he
and Fanny were to be married; in
deed, as he logged along in his wag-
on with his man, Ed, on the seat be-
side him and a number Of brown
paper parcels at his feet, a broad
smile fixed itself almost permanent
ly on the big balloon face as he re-
Elected that Fanny was to set the day
this day.
Fanny and her mother were talk
ing Of the same future event in the
kitchen Of the little farm house,
where they were keeping breakfast
warm for Dave and Ed, on their re-
turn from the city. The men were
an hour late and Mrs. Madden said
"Dave's stopped to buy a present
ut the store, that's what's keeping
'em."

Fanny.

Sensible Home Rule.

AT st. Louis, on the 14th of
January. Governor Hadley out
lined his views about home rule
before a body of citizens compos-
ing the Freeholders, elected by
the people to write and submit to
a popular vote a new charter for
the city. In order that they might
have in mind the possible changes
the people of the state may au-
thorize in the present police and
excise systems, he made clear to
the Freeholders what he will sub
init to a vote of the people this
year under the initiative. The
only reservation he proposes in
home rule is the right of the
Governor or the Mayor to remove
from office the head of the police
department or the Excise Com
missioner or Commissioners for
failure to perform specific duties +;
guarding against any power on
the part of the Governor or Mayor
to control either the police or the
excise authorities for political
purposes.
An act with this kind of home
rule in view will be prepared and
submitted to a vote of the people
at the November election this
year.
All political eyes in Missouri are
now upon the Sixth Congressional
District, where the people will
elect, on Tuesday, February 1, a
Congressman to succes the late
Judge De Armand, who lost his
life in a fire that destroyed his
home in Butler. If the Republi.
cans of the district do not elect
their nominee, Phil S. Griffith
they will greatly reduce tne
Democratic majority and pave tho
way for electing a Republican ir
November.

LOVES oLp SONG.
Prof. Lowery Of the State Uni.
versity and Miss Ella Spalding
Married in Montgomery
City Last Saturday.

1t was the elimination Of a lit
tie romance that was commenced
at the State University sometime
ago, when, last Saturday after
noon in this city, Mr.. Lawson g.
Lowrey, professor of Anatomy
in the University, and Miss Ella
Spalding of Columbia, were quiet
ly married at the Presbyterian
parsonage by Rev. Guy B. Duff.
Miss Cove, of this city, acted as
bridesmaid, and Mr.. w. E. Nuns
as best man. After the ceremony,
the happy pair went to the elegant
home of DR.. G. E. Nuns, where
they enjoyed a sumptuous we'd
ding supper.
AL went well until a newspaper
reporter discovered them and the
secret was out. The bashful groom
admitted that it was an elopement
and the object was simply to steal
a march on a number of their
friends and relatives and get mar
ried. 1t seems there was no paren-
tai objection. They felt sure Of
the parental blessing upon their
return to Columbia.
The happy couple left Mont
gomery City Sunday night.

When Fanny came back from the
yard her mother threw the SHIN
mering silk over her shoulder and
saying that she hadn't tended to her
milk pans yet, left the pair together.
Fanny's blush as she smoothed
the silk quickly faded and left her
pale when Dave said significantly:
"Know what day this is, Fan?
A year ago we said we'd fix up some
thing come your next birthday.
That's now"
The girl made an effort to speak
calmly and succeeded.

you've been thinking Of me,
Fan, that husband wsyp And you're
happy?"
ooh, yes" she answered, "f it
will make mother and you happy"
"Humph" said the market gar
dener, thoughtfully. Mother, eh?"
Dave looked at the girl keenly as
she turned to 60 about the room,
picking up this and that. At last
he said abruptly:
you're sure you amt been think
ing of some one else ?"
Sure" she replied.
"Tve got something to tell you,
Fam" said he, turning aside, "and
it's awful hard to tell. 'Twould
kind a help me if you'd own you'd
thought just a little of some one
else"
The girl went up to him. There
was a new look, an eager look in her
eyes.
"Dave, what is it?" she cried.
"What have you to tell?"
The big man stood silent.
81 know" she broke out, you've
been thinking a little about some
one else yourself"
Dave nodded sheepishly.
"That's it." cried Fanny joyously,
you like another girl and want to
marry her. But you were going
right on to marry me just because
we'd always said we'd get married.
Oh, Dave, it wouldn't be right"
Eyes, it would" protested Dave,
eff you felt the way you did when
you was a little kid"
"But l DON'T" protested Fanny.

"Will you, Dave" said Fanny
"and do it right away7 You can tell
her who she is"
The market gardener stared.
"Who who is?"
"The girl you're going to marry

"Oh," said simple Dave, "I'd for

"Of course she'll say yes" de-

Alfalfa Needs Food.

It Is important to know that there is
little difference between successful al
falfa growing and the successful grow
ing OF other crops. Poor farming never
brings big crops. nor will poor land
produce as big yields as the more fer
tile. Failure to restore to the soil tho
necessary elements Of which 1t has
been robbed means the same In New
York, Kansas, Virginia or anywhere
else. Every farm plant, to prosper.
must find in the soil, readily available.

Fertilizing Fruit Trees.

After fruit trees come in bearing
the best fertilizer is some form of
potash Wood ashes can not be ex-
celled for fruit trees. as they also con-
tain large proportions OF lime. Orch
ards that are in grass should be
plowed occasionally, and some kind of
hoe crop grown therein, in order to
keep the ground clean and loosen the
soil; but the land should be heavily
manured, or fertilizer literally ap-
piled. as the soil can not provide for
two crops-fruit and grass or grain
without an abundance Of plant food,

To Control Gray Rot.

For the prevention of gray rot of
grapes one investigator recommends a
treatment which he claims Is very sim
pie and efficient. This consists of thin
ming the leaves on the north side of
the vines and spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, to which soap is added to
make 1t more adherent The treatment
should be made about July 25, or at the
stage when the grapes have just about
reached their full size. II the fungi
eide is thoroughly applied at this time
no further trouble may be anticipated
from this disease.

Round Dairy Barns.


Ine Illinois Agricultural Experiment
station has sent to press a bulletin in
which the economy of the round dairy
Darn is discussed at considerable
length. Comparison Of the cost of
round dairy barns is discussed at con-
siderable length. Comparisons Of the
cost OF round barns with rectangular
ones, including the amount and cost
OF material, the cost Of construction,
the amount Of stock that can be shell
tered, the convenience In storing. han
ding, and distributing the feed, etc..
are brought out very clearly.
The bulletins include cuts and plans
Oh several round barns in actual use.
an itemized statement Of the cost of a
oo-foot round barn, and cuts showing
now the round barn at the agricultural
college was built, etc. The conclusions
arrived at by the author of the bulletin
are that the round barn has a great
advantage over rectangular barn In
convenience, strength and cheapness.
1t Is found that the round barn Is
more convenient because OF the COM
pactness with which 1t is built and the
ease OF getting the feed to the cows.
Investigations show that the round
barn costs from 81 to SO per cent less
than the rectangular barn containing
the same amount of space and built
~ the same grade Of material
