The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins .of
San Francisco was man Of large aid
noble powers, but more familiar with
the world OF intellectual and schci-
astic interests than with trivial and
timely things, says the Cleveland
Leader.
His household was blessed with a
charming daughter. who grew up tall
and beautiful, commanding the admir-.
alton Of all who saw her. One day.
visitor said to the good doctor:
Doctor, your daughter grows more
charming day by day. Why, she's q

"Ah, thank you: thank you." re-
piled the doctor in his best manner.
When the visitor had gone. turning to
his wife. the doctor asked: MY dear.

MOISTURE IS GREAT FACTOR
Twelve or Fifteen Inches at Very
Least Is Necessary to Insure
Crop Every Season.

tBy NJ. J. GREELEY. South Dakota)
Those In the dry regions who have
been so fortunate as to have had mois.
ture enough TO grow pretty good
crop every year for the past few,
should not be too sangu.ne that they
may not have to summer fallow, and
like other dry.farmers, attempt crop
only every other year. It takes mo!s.
ture, and at the very least above l2
or IL inches OF II. to insure crop
every season, and when this amount
does not fall at about the right time,
crop cannot be grown and mature.
Only from experience with ones own
soil and local moisture can we know
Just what and how we must handle II.

Real Suffering.

Little Tommy Jones' mother has
been drilling into his little memory
the first principles of politeness. One Of
these is to refuse the second piece OF
cake whenever it is offered to him.
Tommy and his mother recently were
guests of a neighbor at dinner. The
hostess was indulgent and fond OF
little Tommy and watching his ef-
forts to appease his appetite. Finally
1t was time to eat the cake. Tommy
made short work OF his allotted one
piece and the hostess passed the cake
to him the second time. Like a we'll
bred youngster, he replied:
NO, thanks"
You seem to be suffering from loss
OF appetite" the hostess commented.
"'Tain't loss of appetite" was Tom
my's reply; I'm suffering from eti.
quette."

When the orchid hunter and his In
