For servant to play the piano and

recommendations but her honest face
and her willingness to work She told
her employer nothing Of her past.
At Mrs. Green's there was plenty
to do and the German maid toiled all
day long uncomplainingly. When her
work was done she asked for but one
privilege-to play on the battered
piano IN the parlor II no one was

LETT that country was her own secret
but she was plainly pining for her
home and people.
One evening Mrs. Green and the
noisy dodgers were all away. Over
the house brooded a blessed quiet.
Elsa stole into the parlor and seated
herself at the piano, but her fingers
only rested on the keys. she was not
playing. Her thoughts were sad. No
one IN this vast city cared whether
she lived or died. She had not a
single friend. The tears battered on
the piano keys as she rested her head
against the music rack.
Suddenly. from above, came the
sweet tones Of violin played with
skill and feeling. Elsa listened en-.
tranced, every nerve thrilling in an.

From the music of the masters the
player glided into a German air dear

Market Hogs Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market.
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years; in the DECADE
1S7O-1S79 the average weight Of hogs
killed during the winter months il
western packing centers was about
275 pounds; in the decade 1SS0-1ss9
about 257 pounds; in the decade 1890.
1899 about 239 pounds, and In the
past decade 19O0-19O9 about PIG
pounds. In other words, hogs mar

GREAT AWAKENING or SOUTH

their slumber and are producing rad.

In no section Of the south is this
more marked than In Texas, says the
Houston Post. While great awaken.
ing has been manifested along all in.
dustrial lines the most marked ia
shown in the development of our agri.
cultural resources. This has followed
the installation Of new agricultural
machinery on the farm and the intro.
duction of new agricultural methods
and the Improvement of farm live
stock. The agencies that have been
the chief factor in this awakening are
the demonstration farm plan Of the
United States department Of agricul.
ture and the Inauguration of the farm.
ers institute by the state department
OF agriculture. These two great agsn.
cies have worked in unison in EN-.
phasizing the Importance Of adopting
saner methods on the farm and in the
orchards.
The Texas farmers have caught on
to contagion of progress and have
learned that with the opportunity of
labor has come the opportunity Of
success. They have learned that to
succeed they must work with their
brains as we'll as with their hands:
and learning this they have been able
to overcome the greatest obstacle
and conquer the hardest circumstan.
ces. They have learned that indus.
try is needed to develop the resources
OF talent as well as Of soil. And what
q change has come with this realiza.
ton. Lands that were utilized in
growing inferior crops Of cotton, corn
and other grains are producing paying
crops Of onions. cabbage, celery, can.
taloupes and other crops for which
there are great demands. Low lands
have been drained and made fertile
and productive. Dry lands have been
irrigated and planted to alfalfa, fruits
and other crops and thousand chan.
ges made that are contributing com.
fort to the home owner and wealth
to the state.

waves Of harmony rolled through the
room enriching the air as carried by
the violin. The player changed his
theme. Old German folk songs, cho.

them all lovingly. and the girl followed
at the piano below.
All at once the music ceased. Elsa
drew q long breath as If awakening
from dream, but she still sat at the
piano with her little thoroughbred
hands resting on the keyboard.
