Romanee Versus commutIna.

IF THE timetables had been differ X cnt. if Dermot Holden's hours at work had been shorter, If Delaw anna, N. J., had been nearer to New York, Isabelle Holden is sure that the dream of her married life would never have been shattered. For the irksomeness of arising at a. m. to start her hus- bands breakfast, of blaoking his shoes at night so that he would not be late in starting for his train, of seeing that he really arose when the alarm clock gave its warning, wore all the romance out of her life. The wife who stays at home" she said, com mutes just as much as the husband" The rush to the train and the rush home made Dermot nervous and irri- table. and he was to tired at night to take her out any place or to be any com pauy to her. The pair owned a house at Delawanna, they were not able tc dispose of it, and until they did they could not move into the city, so each wearied of the joys of a commuters life, and a divorce suit was filed.

The census tureau's last announcement that the value Of farms in the United States had doubled within a decade. altho their number has increased by only onotenth and their acreage by one twentieth. shows what is going on in the Eay Of culuyating them by more intensive and more thrifty methods Their value per acre has Ieaped in ten years from $15.6O to ss2 60. an increase of 1Os per cent The value of farm buildings is three fourths more than in 1900. while farm implements and machinery have increased by two-thirds in value

 The questions formulated by Col. William J.

Governor Marshall of Tennessee. has sent in list of answers 10 most Of the questions. which should put him well in line for the Bryan influence.

 Word cones up from the sulphaIs Springs valley that farmers are busy now planting crops. These crops include -Kaffir corn. Indiap corn, milo, maize. beans and sorghum. all of which will surely mature if the ground has been properly prepared and the rainy season continues as indications now promise that it will through the full rainy season. The secret e raising crops in this val ley, we believe, lies in the carefal preparation of the ground to be planted during the fall and winter. SO that moisture will be retained until planting time. just before the summer rains start. There are thousands of acres which can be supplied with water for planting by pumping it to the surface. distances varying from 30 to 100 feet

 The republican organs are uatur ally a good deal puzzled by Mr Taft's acknowledgment of his debt the democrats in carrying Cana diaa reciprocity. They cannot well refuse credit to the president for chivalrous spirit, and they must ad init that the democrats deserve all the credit awarded to them. But the real situation is essentially aws- ward.
 The president has carried through congress Q measure of the highest importance. and in the senate be was able to do ohis only by the sup port Of democrats.
