sight, except to go to the kitchen for
something to eat for her. That very
day Bella got the doctor to order ale
for Aunt Selma Ooh, yes; the doctor
could come in; Dial said ct was all a.
coming in, and nothing going out'')
and she had three pints of Bass and
learned to eat anchovies and caviare
all in one day.
Bella's conduct to Jim was disgrace
full. She snubbed him, ignored him,
tramped on him, and Jim was growing
positively flabby. He spent most of
his time writing letters to the board
of health and playing solitaire. He
was pathetic figure.
Well, we went to bed fairly early.
Bella had massaged Aunt Selinas face
and rubbed in cold cream, Anne and
Dallas had compromised on which
window should be open in their bed
room, and the men had matched to
see who should look at the furnace.
l did not expect to sleep, but the cold
night air had done it's work, and 1
was asleep almost Immediately.
Some time during the early part of
the night l Weakened, and, after turn
ing and twisting uneasily, l realized
that was cold. The couch in Bella's
dressing room was comfortable
enough, but narrow and low. l re-
member distinctly Chat was what was
so maddening: Everybody thought l
dreamed It'll remember getting an
eiderdown comfort that was folded at
my feet, and pulling it up around me.
In the luxury of its warmth snug
gled down and went to sleep almost
instantly. 1t seemed to me l had slept
for hours, but it was probably an hour
or less, when something reused me.
The room was perfectly dark, and
there was not a sound save the faint
ticking Of the clock, but l was wide
awake.
And then came the incident that in
its CHASTITY, horrible absurdity made
the rest Of the people shout with
laughter the next day. 1t was not
funny then. For suddenly the elder
down comfort began to slip. l heard
no footstep, not the slightest sound
approaching me, but the comfort
moved; from my chin, inch by inch, it
slipped to my shoulders; awfully, in
evitably, hair-raisingly it moved
could feel my blood gather around my
heart, leaving me cold and nerveless.
AS 1t passed my hands l gave an in
voluntary clutch for it, to feel it slip
away from my fingers. Then the full
horror of the situation took hold of
me; as the comfort slid past my feet
I sat up and screamed at the top of
my voice.
OF course, people came running in
in all sorts of things. l was still sit
ting up, declaring 1 had seen a ghost
and that the house was haunted Dali
las was struggling for the second arm
hole of his dressing gown, and Bella
had already turned on the lights. They
said l had had nightmare, and not to
sleep on my back, and perhaps l was
taking grippe.
And just then we heard Jimmy run
down the stairs, and fall over some
thing, almost breaking his wrist 1t
was the eiderdown comfort, halfway
up the studio staircase!

SUICIDE WAS PAUL NEIPEL
Coroner Chapman Discovers Relatives
Living In DolgevlIe, New York.

AS result of inquiries made
through the Portland police by Coro-
ner II. L. Chapman, the name of the
Eola suicide has been found to be
Paul Neipel, German, formerly a
r. sident of Dolgeville, New York, and
later of Portland. A telegram has
been received from Max Nelpel, of the
former place, who Is supposed to be
a brother of the dead man, instruct
ing the coroner to bury the body
here. and adding that letter giving
further information would follow.
Shortly after the inquest Coroner
Chapman telephoned full description
of the man TO the police OF Portland.
who gave it TO the daily papers. 1t
was read by recent friend of Mel
pel's in that city. who wrote Mr.. Chap
man. giving the name and saying that
relatives would be found by addressing
the Turnverein, a German society. in
Dolgeville. A night telegram was at
once sent there by Mr.. Chapman, with
the result as stated The Portland
informant was out camping with
Neipel a couple of weeks ago, but did
not seem to know much OF the Iatters
after that
Coroner Chapman will hold the
body at the morgue here until the ar

REASONS FOR THE sILo.
Good EnsiIage Is Necessity on Every
Dairy Farm.

Good EnsiIage Is Necessity on Every
Dairy Farm.
The silo makes 1t possible for the
farmer to do for his stock what the
housewife does for her family. We
take the crop of corn when it is at its
prime, gather it and store it in the
silo for feed during the winter, says
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. OF course
other crops may be used, but corn is
always preferable. Anything that has
hollow straw does not make such
good silage because it does not pack
so well, and 1t is difficult to exclude
all of the air, and air is what spoils
silage. You will notice this If you
find a small hole or crack In the silO.
All about this the feed will be decayed
until the decayed matter seals over
the mass of the silage, preventing the
air from working further injury. This
explains why any substance having a
hollow straw is not easily preserved.
In filling the silo remember that 1t
is of extreme importance to pack the
feed very carefully over the entire
surface. It is sometimes considered
best to keep the middle little higher
than the outer edges, but in no in
stance should one neglect this part, for
the walls of the silo have a tendency
to retard settling, and unless the silage
Is packed so as to exclude all of the
air it will not keep satisfactorily.
Silage is good from the day it is put
into the silo until the last particle has

Do you want a balky horse? You

If the horse must be kept in the barn

1t is a good sign to see a pair of

Carrots must be fed sparlngly to

the bin year after year and does not
materially deteriorate in value.
The average dairy COW will eat about
forty pounds per day. Some do not
care for so much; others will eat more.
One of the record breaking cows in
the Iowa contest was fed as high as
100 pounds of silage for some days
while she was upon test This is an
exceptional case, however and can
hardly be taken as a criterion.
Silage should be fed just after milk

eats. IL silage is fed before or during
the milking hour the milk is apt TO be

Clear Himself.

Entirely Too Much Energy Wasted on

Entirely Too Much Energy Wasted on
Roads From Town to Country.
AS to some products of the farm,
there is difference Of 40 to 30 per
cent between the price that the grower
receives and the price that the con-
sumner pays. There are even cases in
which this price difference amounts to
300 per cent Part Of the loss is due
to a bad system of retail distribution,
as when dozen city milk wagons
travel over the same route. each de-
ivering one bottle here and another
bottle there. when one wagon might as
well make all the deliveries along the
route. This same waste appears even
more markedly between the farm and
the town. How many fully loaded
wagons do you pass in driving to
town? From a dozen farms a dozen
packages Of butter, poultry or vege
tables may go to town the same morn
ing, each in different vehicle. Every
day a dozen parcels of merchandise
are hauled out of town along the same
road in a dozen different conveyances,
and the time and labor of eleven men
and eleven horses go for nothing. The
rural free delivery mail wagon now
comes to your house with load that
you could put in one or two bushel
baskets, and it goes back to town with
an even smaller load. Under present
conditions 1t looks as If the postoftice
was not giving the farmer
his moneys worth. Gentle
