LIFE ON OUR FARM

We farm to make the most of our lives and not to make a proht-bear- ing business of it. We try to raise what we eat and to eat what we raise. being satisfied with farm-grown food in season. Our life in the open has given us normal palates and healthy appetites. Not having tired of cam ned peas in winter, we are hungry in July for the favorite dinner of the hills, green peas and new potatoes cooked together and served with cream the only meat being crisp slices of, our home cured bacon. Simple fare but when accompanied by the best milk, bread and butter, cider jelly and followed by a salad served with Ital- ian oil, our home made cheese and berries. fresh or preserved, have new CT known 1t to fail to satisfy.
 Late in the fall, when 1t is cold for outdoor play, the little boys work with a will at the small cider press It is surprising how much cider ths two can make in a day when their enthusiasm is fresh. They help, too, in the making of apple butter.-Helsn Dodd in the August Outing.

Just before we pulled out young fellow comes rushing into the car with big arn1~ ful bouquet of brides roses and laid them down in the lady's lap% My, how she did blush. The whole car was wise and there was plenty of snicker- ing and guying going on.

 Wollny at once summoned Attor- ney George F. Mara The latter had already brought suit for annulment of the marriage. In this suit it was claimed that the bellhop was forced into the marriage without being giv- en an opportunity to consult even his parents, despite the fact that he hadn't yet attained his majority, and also that the young wife had nor been truthful in her statements pre- ceding the marriage.
 Wollny will probably be arraignad before US. Commissioner E. B. Peck and then turned over to a U. S. mar shal. Attorney Mara will claim that the young husband has never refused to support his wife, and that he is now. and has been. willing to sup port her if she makes her home in this city.

there was no telling who would go up if Moore and Schley did. He sent for Gary and Prick and later other mem berS of the finance committee or the steel corporation. Gary expressed the greatest reluctance to buying the stock. Schley had told me that he would take nothing below par and Gary said:
 :" It is not worth over 60 to 65'
 'T told Gary" said Ledyard, that if he waited long enough, he and the steel trust could buy the stock at 70, but I also told him if the panic con- tinued neither the steel trust nor any one else would be able to buy any thing
 Ledyard said there were probably 1000 conferences in the Morgan lib rary during the panic. Gary, he said, suggested a loan of $5,000,OO0 be made to the T. c. & l., but when Schley was told of this, he said that the storm. All of the Schley loans were involved. he said. The steel trust people told him that they did not want to go into the deal unless they were sure that buying the T. c. & I. would relieve the situation.
 Congressman Littleton tried to show that it was not the controlling stock of the T. c. & I which had caused the trouble but a big block which George Kessler had forfeited to the firm because he could not meet his margin calls. Ledyard at the question smiled significantly but said that he could not say that of his own knowledge.
 Littleton developed that Ledyard' s own client, Colonel Payne, owned more free stock than he did snydi- cate stock and it was plain from the line of questioning that the commit tee was trying to develop that the syndicate was forced to sell out be- cause the free stockholders became invalXed

If you want to cut shine in the Great Detective" line, as a man of genius rare, You must get up all such terms as "primeval pachyderms" and inn plant them everywhere. You must work the Sunday papers to discuss the crazy capers of the thing you call your mind; What you talk of doesn't matter if 'tis only silly chatter of a Sheer-luck- Holmes-like kind!
 And the people all will say As you go upon your way ''There goes that chap wot knows so much as is not known to me; Wy, wot a werry, werry knowing chap that chap wot knows so much must be!'
 Be eloquent in praise of the smart detective ways that have come in vogue to-day.
