JUSTICE BREWER DEAD.
End of Supreme Court Justice
Came Suddenly from a Stroke
of Apoplexy.

Washington Dispa tch. 26th
David Josiah Brewer, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, died tonight
at 1920 o'clock as the result of a
stroke of apoplexy. His death
followed within minute or two,
before he could be carried to his
bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him
when the end came. Justice
Brewer was 73 years old.
Justice Brewer came to the Su-
preme Court of theUnited States
from the Federal court in
Kansas. He was the second oldest
member of the court, Justice
Harlan only being his senior. He
was regarded as the most demo-
cratic of all the members of the
court, most affable, approachable
and accommodating. He was
the one man on the bench who
had proof copies of his opinions
prepared for the newspapers and
this he did consistently.
Justice Brewer essentially was
a Western man and his sympa-
thies were always with the West.
He dealt largely with railroad
corporations and indeed with cor
porations generally, and he will
be missed immensely, in the
opinion Of the court, on the
momentous questions concerning
the Standard Oil and tobacco
cases now under consideration.
Justice Brewers death raises
serious question as to the action
Of the court regarding the Stan.
dard Oil and American Tobacco
Company suits, and it is not i'm.
probable that the cases will have
I to be retired, since there now
remain but seven justices to pas:
upon them, Justice Moody no
having participated in the trial.
by reason Of continued lines.
Justice Brewer was appointe'
e to the Supreme Court by Presi
/ dent Benjamin Harrison, to sue
ceed Justice Stanley Matthews
taking his seat January 6, 1890.

The Attraction of 'oppo.ite..

In Aesops fable of the mouse and the lion, the little sleek mouse was able to be of great service to the lion in nibbling the meshes of his net, but an animal friendship of to-day be- tween a cat at the Geological Gardens in London and the large two-horned African rhinoceros which Is kept there rests on a more obscure foundation. Yet the Young Folks Catholic Weekly is authority for the statement that a great affection exists between the two.
 They may be often seen together, puss toying with the formidable head of the monster, who appears to be as gentle as lamb.
 He appears to forget his strength, allowing puss any liberty she wishes to take, even to sleeping close to his nose or playfully batting his horn with her paws. Yet with one mighty. charge that same horn could easily destroy an elephant
 Without attempting to read a moral into this remarkable story, it is pleasant thought that where there is true affection the strong are invaria- ply gentle to the weak.

his entertainers. And at length it came to pass that the man of the world, who. though possessed of wealth and intelligence. yet in the course of thirty years of a lonely. un- loved life, had never known true hap piness, found that fate had suddenly thrown a new and absorbing interest | into his life.
 The more he saw her the more clearly he came to understand what a noble character lay hidden in Grace Burnham's girlish heart, and to his own surprise he found himself re- viewing for her interest all the varied scenes of his life
 Grace. all unconscious what was the true reason that she so deeply enjoyed the strangers conversation, would listen with her heart in her eyes.
 Things went on in this way until Johns foot ceased to trouble him.
 Then suddenly he awoke to the truth that. within the space of few short weeks, his heart had irrevocably passed out of his keeping.
 At first the knowledge startled him; for. beautiful and ladylike in all her ways. still Grace was very different from the fashionable ladies he had been accustomed to meet in society.
 But the longer he thought the more he realized that so deep was his love for this girl. to whom he owed his life. that if she would consent to become his wife the future could hold no greater happiness for him.
 He was walking along the shore. meditating thus. when, looking up. he saw. at distance before him, Grace's graceful figure.
 As she turned at his call and came toward him he noticed, with more ad- miration than before, her exceeding beauty.
 Almost without meaning. before he thought. the words he had been think ing escaped his lips:
 Grace. could you love me enough to become my wife?"
 At this sudden. unexpected address. the quick blood dyed her face with glow of rich color
 At sight of her confusion. without giving her time for reply. John went

Warning to Dairymen.

We have repeatedly warned the dairymen that the oleomargarine law is likely to be amended next winter. and that the amendments proposed will destroy the value of the law. so far as concerns the protection of dairy products. Again. we ask you-have you written your congressman about it? Do you know his views? Does he know what you want him to do in the matter? Does he know what you are going to do to him in the cam paign next year if he doesn't give you a square deal? This is no joke. It is a serious proposition, and no time is to be lost if the oleomargarine law is to be preserved in its present form Missouri Dairyman

Left CIoister in Vain.

Miss Elsie Swanson. Of St. Louis, re- nounced her aspiration to become a nun because she believed her duty was to search for her father, whom she had not seen for eleven years. She found him a few days ago in the coun- ty jail at Joplin. a few minutes after he was convicted of burglary and lar ceny and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
 Swanson did not recognize his daughter, but she picked him from 8 crowd of prisoners in the main cell room. Father and daughter wept in each others arms. She will now try to obtain a parole for him. and as he was convicted solely on his own ad- mission of guilt it is possible her plea of clemency will be granted.
 Miss Swanson, who is 21 years old, is the ward of the Rev. c. c. Stahl- mann, who took her from the custody of her father when she was 10 years old, Swanson having been declared un- fit to care for her. She was educated in a convent.

squnshes and Pumpkins.

With care in storing, there is very little difficulty in keeping these, es- pecially the former. in good condition until spring, and I have kept some varieties of the genuine pie pumpkins until well into March in just as nice condition as they went into storage. Select those that are well matured, and make sure that they are gathered before being touched in the least with frost. Store in a cool. dry place as late as safety from freezing will per init, then remove to a garret where they will keep cool and dry, but al ways safe from frost. Do not pile them, but set them on the floor and better still, separate them so that they do not touch. In this way, well matured specimens can be kept almost at wilI-Exchange

Many who keep hens. are asking themselves just about now why their
 bullets don't lay, when the fact Is that a lot of their young stock was hatch ed too late, or was not given proper food and care during growth. The size and general appearance of a pull let does not always denote the time when she should commence producing eggs. I have seen fiocks of pretty big nice bullets and they would lay hardly an egg all winter. The first essential for winter eggs is the right kind of stock to produce them. Food will not supply that want; 1t may help some and in some instances it's pretty difficult to help the matter very much by giving extra care. The strain has got to be of the right sort if they prove themselves reliable and profit able layers. After being in the poul- try business so long and seeing so many people fuss and experiment and work in the effort to get eggs from stock that had no eggs to lay, no in- clination to make eggs or ability to commence to get ready to lay, it is impressed all the stronger upon my mind that there is a whole lot to this hen business besides feed and care.- Inland Farmer.

 Grace tried to withdraw the hand that he had clasped.
 Do not say any more. MT. Mainwar- ing I cannot be your wife"
 He only clasped her hand the tighter.
 Grace" he cried, q thought that was not an object of indifference to you Can 1t be that have deceived myself?"
 The girl trembled and her eyes low cred themselves beneath the shade of their long, dark lashes.
 With sudden motion he drew her to him and forced her gaze to meet his.
 In that moment he read the truth His love was returned.
 Yet still once more she repeated. 'T cannot be your wife" And this time she could not deny that she cared for him. she felt that in the worlds eyes she was not his equal.
 If l married you" she persisted in answer to his pleadings, "the time might come when you would repent" And in the end John was obliged to be content with her decision, supple mented. as 1t was, by her old fathers approval. that if. after two years time. during which no communi- cation should pass between them, he should return and still desire her for his wife, she would not then say no.
 The two years glided by and found Grace Burnham more lovely than ever Patiently and assiduously the girl had studied to improve her education, and with an active intellect and love for the task-master. 1t was no wonder that each day saw a rapid advancement.
 And now. though prince were the wooer. he might be glad to call Grace BuTnham wife"
 The time of probation was ended, but the days fitted by and yet John did not return. At length, with heart filled with keen pain. the girl was forced to acknowledge to herself that her lover had forgotten her; that his affection had not been strong enough to outstand the test that she herself had imposed. Time went by, and to add to her burden of sorrow her old father was taken sick and died, ieav- ing her brother and herself orphans, alone and friendless.
 And John, where was he?
 The day which was to have seen him by his loves side found him in a dark ened room, delirious with fever Months dragged along. and finally after a hard struggle the fever was worsted and for a time John Main | waring came from the gates of death. l

Value of the Home Market.

Farmers should encourage their home town. to build up a good home market for their dairy and poultry products, fruit, vegetables and many things that sell far more profitably at home than they could by shipping them away. Here is where the French farmers gain their prosperity; they have good home markets, where they market everything at high prices di- rect to their customers in their thrifty home towns and villages.
 Towns can be revived by the farm CTS and merchants working together to get new industries, and the home market soon develops for all the farm products that make a prosperous com munity. and as the town grows the farms increase in value.-Inland Farmer.

The hilly territory of Trieste. it is stated, in a consular report on that district. is covered by pointed stones which prevent any cultivation, and some years ago the Society Agrarla offered prizes for those who would remove them and thus change the waste ground to meadows. The work has now been going on for some years and every autumn a commission ascer
 tains the area of the proposed redemp- tion and the difficulties to be encoun- tered and fixes the prize to be given. In spring it again visits the improved grounds and pays the prizes If de served.

Then when he was strong enough. with heart as loyal as when he parted from her, he repaired to Grace's house, only to find her gohe-where to, no one could tell.

But the diversions which had once pleased him dragged now upon his tastes. and at length he ceased to en- deavor to crush out of his heart the haunting, ever-present memory of the girl who had once saved his life, and whom he still loved as passionately as ever

 Could 1t be possible that this was the Grace from whom he had parted forever; the fearless daughter of the sea; ignorant of the world and its ways, with all her artless soul shining out of her eyes-this stately, self-pos- sessed woman?
 Their eyes met. and at once 1t was clear between them beyond need for words, that the same undying love burned in each heart. Springing to her side, unheedful of his friends sur prised looks, John grasped her hand
 At last-at last we meet again."
 When John had explained how 1t was that at that appointed time. when he would have flown to her side, he lay sick and unconscious, Grace re- lated in her turn how 1t was that he met her thus. earning her own living by her voice, in a city far distant from her island home. She told him how, soon after their fathers death, her brother and herself had been found out and taken to his home by wealthy uncle who had lately learned of his brothers whereabouts, having parted from him in boyhood, each go- ing his own way to seek for fortune | How. learning that her voice was con sidered fine, she had applied herself to Its cultivation, desiring above all | things to be independent.

Alfalfa Soils.

Alfalfa does. best on well-drained soils, where the water level is several feet below the surface. It is a very deep-rooted plant. sending its roots down into subsoil which is largely un- available to other farm crops. These roots will not thrive in a water-soaK- ed soil, and in attempting to grow al- falfa on a wet soil, or soil with the water level only few feet from the surface, the alfalfa is placed in un- natural conditions and little can be e1- pected of it. If possible. a field with a sufficient slope to effect thorough surface drainage and sufficiently open to porous to provide good under-drain- age should be selected for alfalfa Maryland Experiment Station.

Are Farm Land Prices Too flight
 How long will the price of farm lands continue to increase? Just so tinue to increase. and these prices will remain firm so long as labor finds steady and profitable employment. In no other country in the world is la bor so well rewarded as here. Where prices are low. wages are necessarily low The man who receives liberal returns for his work can buy liber- seems to be no probability that in- dustrial conditions will be radically changed in this country soon. The people generally are too well satisfied with them. Good markets may. there fore. be expected to continue indef- nitely.
 Farm lands which may be relied on to product satisfactory crops of grain and grass are not selling too high. Land which. with proper management, will produce from 50 to 100 bushels of 50-cent corn per acre is well worth $50 an acre or more. There is large amount of such land in Kansas and adjoining states.
 The sure way to increase the value of land is to increase its productive ness Under existing conditions prices will take care of themselves. The days of large surpluses are past. De mand crowds close upon the heels of supply. Mouths are multiplying faster than food for them-Kansas Farmer.
