They Knew Him.

At certain country church the
rector always awaited the arrival
OF local magnate and family be-
fore beginning the morning serv-
ice. One Sunday morning, the rec
tor being absent, the officiating
clergyman, who was not aware Of
this custom, commenced the serv-
ice in the usual way with one Of
the passages from Scripture.
In clear, distinct voice, he read:
"When the wicked NAM

by the parish clerk, who shouted,
"Stop, stop; he hasn't come yet"
The squire arriving at that mo-
ment, the clerk again cried out:

plss.s Stones.

Here and there in Great Britain
may be seen the remains Of old
stone crosses that are known as
plague stones" In the olden time,
when epidemics ragged, the market
people would place near the stone
their wares and retire to a distance,
while those from the afflicted towns
would come out and put on the
stone money to the value of what
they wished to take. Sometimes
this money vas dropped into the
cavity in the stone that the rain
water generally lying there might
clean it. On returning, the market
folk took the money that was left
for them; hence the name of these
old monuments plague stones"

Wind A = oe.t,exe,

The ravages wrought upon sea
blu6s during great storms are often
due to the wind as much as to the
ocean waves. Sand and salt spray
driven for hours before a violent
wind act like gigantic sand blast,
eating away with surprising rapid
ity the layers Of gravel and sand
Of which many projecting head
lands are composed. The surfaces
Of bodies exposed to such a wind
are soon pitted. At great gale in
1899 . single night sufficed to con-
vert the window panes Of the life

There are some peculiarities

The crowd was quiet and lady
like. Occasionally they would APP
plaud or say "Well bowled, Sir" but
they did not tell the umpire he was
rotten, and they never urged the
visiting club to warm up another
pitcher. Not a word was said BY
the players, not a pop bottle was
thrown, nobody was benched, and
there was never a thought Of such
. thing. The English are better
sportsmen than We are, and they

CROMWELL and chr;stma..

When Oliver Cromwell was pro-
tector he ordered all the most inn
portant towns in England not to
observe Christmas, as he considered
Il to be hurtful custom. Yet a
stricter law he commanded to be
kept so that people might forget
Christmas. That was that all the
markets were to be held on Dec. IS.
Naturally this created great stir
among the country folk, and they
determined thenccforth to refuse to
obey his strict and extraordinary
Law. which he tried to enforce, but
ell to NO purpose.-London Mail.

great possibilities IN the production
OF corn slower and corn in North
Dakota, and We can also grow the
clover. This statement and also that
OF Dean Henry's being true. there are
evidently great possibilities in the pro
ductiou OF live stock in this state.
Experiments at the New Hamp
shire station have shown that q pound
OF corn stover has practically the
same value ~ pound Of timothy hay
for feeding work horses. There have
been no experiments carried on bear
ing directly upon the feeding value
OF stover for other classes OF animals.
but there is much evidence which
leads to the belief that 1t has about
the same comparative value for feed
ing other classes Of animals as timothy
shows for feeding horses.
Experiments also indicate that the
per cent OF digestible nutrients in the
corn stover OF an average corn crop
nutrients in the total crop. The per
cent OF digestible nutrients In the
slower of North Dakota corn crop
would be much higher than this be-
cause the stover OF North Dakota
corn crop is OF better quality than
that grown in the central states. It
is obvious that In case the slower OF

purposes that 81 per cent or more OF
the crop Is lost or goes to waste.
