Tho Ieek or the Daffodil?

There are those today who maintain
that the Welsh national emblem IS
not the leek, but the daffodil Both
leek and daffodll are known In the an
cient British tongue as "Eentn,' and
It is held by those who favor the dam
tier flower that, owing to the similar
ity of name, the two became confused
and that Shakespeare influence,
coupled with the Englisbman's delight
In making fun OF Tafy and his leek,
served to perpetuate the error.
Be that as It may, the majority OF
Welshmen have agreed to wear the
leek as IAN honorable badge, ana
neither Saxon banters nor the indef1'
niteness OF the historical data VIII
avail to dislodge an ancient and a
national custom.

PEASE'S NAME WAS ENOUGH
Dutchman With Whom the Dealer Had
Traded Knew He Had Lost
His Horse.

Some years ago Lemuel Pease, q
silk-hat, kid loved, ministerial-looking
horse dealer, Of Chelsea, Mass, was
driving handsome bay horse hitched
to nice buggy, quietly along one OF
Boston's numerous suburbs, when he
saw coming toward him man with
a peddler's outfit. Mr.. Pease, always
having an eye to business, thought he
would try and trade horses with the
peddler, as the peddler's horse al.
though blind and tired out. looked to
be good one. When they met both
stopped and passed the time of day.
The peddler, who was Dutchman,
said he wished he could afford to have
as fine a horse as that, pointing to
Mr.. Pease's horse.
Well" said Mr.. Pease, you can II
you like. will trade with you, for I
have little work for a horse, and yours
would soon be as fat and slick az
mine. and like to have a new horse
occasionally"
They exchanged even, and the
Dutchman thinking he had made big
thing by the trade, desired to know
who the man was that was so green as
to make such bargain SO he asked
Mr.. Pease what his name might be
my name is Pease," was the an.
swer
"Pease?' said the Dutchman. Not
Lem Pease?"
Yes" said Mr.. Pease.
Mem Gott mein Gott!" said tho
Dutchman. I've lost mein horse"

MOTHERS DUE.

To the mother is due the tenderest,
grateful affection; no child ever yet re.
paid adequately the unpayable debt
due its mother, for she has nurtured it
with her own subs ance, and with low
ing solicitude guarded it during the
years of its helplessness, with heroic
sacrifice of self, seeking only it's safety
and welfare. Perhaps time may re-
verse the conditions of dependence,
and the son or daughter be given an
opportunity to care for her who SC
patiently cared for them. No memory
will be so sweet as that which viii
come from having comforted the de.
clining years of the best friend we
have ever had.-EX.

Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.
"They are the best blood purifier
writes c. Il. Budahn, of Tracy, Calf,

red blood, strong nerves and build up
your health. Try them. SOC at Henry

Encouragement is something we
naturally look for. A little praise, a
word of hope or a cheerful smile
something for the hungry soul to grasp
and the weary mind to rest upon, as
we climb the toilsome mountain of life.
How many poor hearts have sunken
into dependency, when little en-
enlargement has treasured them. The
soldier looks for 1t on the field Of bat
tie; it is the cheering voice OF his lead
er that urges him on through the dan
ger Of death and crowns the day with
victory.

HAS EVERY GIRL

| HAS EVERY GIRL
CHANCE TO WE'D?
wonder if there are many girls who
| had but slender chances of meeting a
man who might prove a desirable
sweetheart or husband? | have been
| inclined to hold the view that every
girl has, at least, one chance of matri-
mony; but of late various circumstan-
ces have made me consider the mat
ter.
Every girl should be able to meet
nice young men as matter of course.
Most people will agree with this, and
it is easy enough to say the difficulty
is to devise practical means by which
both sexes may meet in some open and
natural way.
1t seems to me that the ministers of
different demo nominations are in posi-
ton to do more in this direction than
any other folks. They do certain
amount, but they could do such a lot
more. From the very nature of their
position ministers command confidence,
and for one see no great difficulties in
the way of their promoting continu-
Gus series OF inexpensive social enter
tainment suitable to the season of the
year. The civic authorities could also
do big lot in bringing young people
together. The money spent in ban
quets to few well-off elderly people
would do far more for general hap
piness if put to the use | have tried to
indicate.
Still, think that girl that does
not know a single nice young man, al
though she wants to, must be to blame
to some extent. However friendless a
girl may be on arrival, say, at some
strange place at which she has to work,
surely if she is at all lovable she will
make friends with other girls. And
other girls have brothers and cousins
and friends of the sterner sex.
Many girls, too, get respondent. In.
stead of sitting down and crying and
wailing, Nothing ever goes right with
me-" you should brace yourself up and
say to yourself, 81 will be happy.
Things shall go right for me. ] de-
mand IT," Try this and you will be
surprised at he result.-John Watson
White, in Exchange.

LOST-A ducksback hunting coat,

The white population is gaining
rapidly on the negro in the South. In
the nine cotton States, the white in
crease during the last ten years was
1875 per cent, while the colored in
crease was but 30 per cent. This was
the relative rate in the cities. The
disparity in the country districts was
even greater. Ten years ago the gain
of the two races was about equal, but
the last census shows that for the
rural districts of the South the white
gain during the last decade was 17.3
per cent and the negro but S.3 per
cent. Colored men are leaving the
rural districts in such numbers that
the planters no longer look to them as
the source of labor. But for the black
to leave the country and migrate to
the city is movement out of the frying
pan into the fire. He cannot compete
with white men in the congested CEN
tiers of population, though the labor of
whites be unskilled like his own. AS
the blacks move to the cities the death
rate among them rises rapidly. Is this,
then, to be the solution of the vexed
race questionable.

TRANsPLANTINe IS AN. ART
One Ounce of intelligent Observation Will Prove More Valuable
 Than Ton of Theory.

In setting out fruit trees and trans planting plants in the garden one ounce of intelligent observation will prove more valuable than a ton of theoretical literature.
 The nurseryman and gardener will transplant thousands of plants and cuttings without the loss of single specimen while the average farmer will so bungle his work that after purchasing the best fruit trees that have excellent root systems he does well if he succeeds in making one half of the trees reach maturity.
 The successful market gardener will transplant acres of vegetable plants with the loss of scarcely a single plant
 It is a simple truth. although to some 1t may sound unreasonable, that an experienced fruit grower or grower of trees and shrubs will make a will low stake grow where the average man cannot successfully transplant a young willow tree.
 It is the same with blackberries and raspberries, few things are as tenaceous of life as these plants, yet how many farmers succeed in making them grow.

Favor Top-worked Apples.

We have had good success in setting two-year-old apple stock in the spring and budding the trees in August, says a writer in an exchange. We advo- cate setting a good growing tree, such as Northern Spy. Northwestern Greening or Holman Sweet We put in three buds in the stock, two and half to three feet from the ground. If all the buds live, we select the best and cut out the others. We like bud ding the first year in the body. Some like to wait two or three years and bud in the, limbs. We do not advo- cate the plan for this. because many growers do not understand how to bud and trees could not get the budding done in time. We claim that we can get apples sooner by this method than by direct planting, and that the grow CT can know definitely what varieties he is budding.

HOW CHICKENS ARE HAPPENED
Scientific Method of Jersey Poultry Raisers of Making 5rollers
 Plump and Tempting.

Poultry pushers in Jersey garden lands are making good trying latest scientific tricks at fattening big broil- CTS, says a writer in the New York Press. The broilers get little of the Joy of gulping down the early. Bquirmy, snaIy, sun-up worm, nor is for them the joy of crunching the spring froglet or grasshopper. No. it Is the dough bag and the food pump for theirs. Twice daily the forced feeding stomach nozzle is showed down the gullet, and the crop is filled with ambrosial chicken grub. mushy bill of fare consisting of a careful, crawsome combination of buttermilk, ground cereals and ground meats. With their craws full the chicken house is made into a dark room so that nothing may disturb their beauty fat sleep or invite to chicken thought or action and thus bring that lean. Iank and hungry look.
 The dark dungeon system of pre- pairing chickens for market has an eff feet something like depriving the ap- pie of its core or the peach of its stone and making solid apple and peach meat of the whole fruit. for such prison broilers are as tender and juicy in the dark depths of the drum stick as in the creamy heart of their sweet, swelling bosom, and dressed on parade hanging from the hooks in a butcher shop the beautiful broilers look like a crack regiment of fat. killed, coddled squabs. You can pret- ty nigh pitch in and eat up one of these fowls of the dark chamber from the diamond-shape nose on the wrong end right on through back and breast to neck without even carving-just like a cheese chicken and the same as boneless. The funniest thing is the way these foolish birds open their beaks and beg when they see the grub nozzle coming
