He saw two or three other clerical
persons In that car, but feared to
touch their shoulders. One man in
the last seat held him specially, and
he hid In the turn Of the corridor, in
the hope Of eavesdropping some clue.
This man was bent and scholastic OF
appearance, and wore heavy spec
tacles and a heavy beard, which Nal
lory took for a guaranty that he was
not another actor. And he vas read

During Mallory's absence, Marjorie
had met with a little adventure OF
her own. Ira Lathrop finished his re-
encounter with Anne Cattle shortly
after Mallory set out stalking clergy
men. In the mingled confusion OF
finding his one romantic fame still
glowing on q vestal altar, and Of
shocking her with an escape OF pro-
family, he backed away from her pres
ence, and sank into his own berth.
He realized that he was not alone,
Somebody was alongside. He turned
to find the great tear-spent eyes OF
Marjorie staring at hin. He rose
with a recrudescence of his woman
hating wrath. and dashing up the
aisle, found the porter Just returning
from the baggage car. He seized the
black factotum and growled:
Say, porter, there's q woman in
my berth"
The porter chuckled, increduIous:
"Woman in yo' BERTH"
"Yes-get her out"
"Yassah,' the porter nodded, and
advanced on Marjorie with a gentle,
"'Scuse me, m~issus-yo' berth 10 num-

the white-ribboned tent in the farther
end Of the car. Then she gripped the
arms Of the seat, as II detylng evto-
ton. The porter stared at her in
helpless ohagrln, Then he shulaed
back and murmUred; q reckon you'd
beta put her out"
Latbrop withered the coward with
one contemptuous look, and strobe
down the aisle with a determined
grlmness. He took his ticket from
his pocket as a clinching proof Of his
title, ana thrust 1t out at Marjorie.
She gave it one Indifferent glance, and
then her eyes and mouth puckered, as
If she had mu1ched a green persim'
mon, and a long low wall like a dis

lips. Ira Lathrop stared at her in
blank wrath, doddered i~rresolutely
and roared;
"Agh, let her have It'll"
The porter smiled trtumphantly, ant
said: "She SAYS you kin have heI

Dor. Lathrop almost exploded at the
idea.
Now he felt a hand on his shoulder
and turned to see Little Jimmie Well
ington emerging from his berth witt
an enormous smile:
Say, Pop, have you seen lovely
rice-trap? Stick around till she fops.
But Lathrop flung away to The

Nature and Prosperity.

Some time in the history of
the United States there may
have been as favorable an out.
look for crops as at present, but
that is doubtful. One thing is
certain, crops were never so
large, and it has been years since
the general prospect was so good.
The cereal production of the
country, We are told by the Unit
ed States Department of Agri-
culture, will be unprecedentedly
large. The departments report
ing board forecasts bumper crops
of corn, Irish potatoes, spring
wheat, oats, barley, rye and
buckwheat. Hay also promises
"a record production, the flax crop
will be bigger than ever, and
rice is holding its own, with a
condition on September l better
than the ten.year average. To-
bacco probably will not reach the
proportions of 1910, but the out
look is for a considerable IN.
crease over 1911. The condition
of apples on September was
SO per cent. as compared with
a ten.year average. In Kentucky
the condition is reported at 81
per cent. as compared with a
ten.year average of IS per cent.
The country's high-water mark
in corn production was attained
in 1906, but it is estimated that
the present crop will be Is, OOO,.
600 bushels in excess of the rec.
ord year, reaching the stagger.
ing total of 2, 995, 900, 900 bushels.
The potato crop was abort last
year, but it will be bigger this
year by more than hundred
million bushels and will beat the
record crop of 1909 by 5000, 900
bushels. The estimated total is
398, 900, 600. Spring wheat will
go over 800, 100000 which will o.
vertop the bumper wheat year
by about 5000, 600 bushels. The
Department of Agriculture fore.
casts the oats crop at 1920. 600.
600 bushels, which beats the rec.

ord crop of 1910 by some lO4,-
600, 900 bushels.
So it continues through the list
to such an extent that IT'S grave
ly to be doubted if "Uncle Jim.
mic" Wilson, with all his vocab-
ulary of optimism, can find
words to fit the occasion when he
begins summing up results for
his annual report. 1t is a cheer
full augury of prosperity for the
whole country, for big crops are
a strong influence for general ac-
tivity and progress, and the best
possible antidote for hard times.
Wherefore, there is good reason
for satisfaction all around.

and teachers, Prof. j. d. Falls,
we desire to congratulate you
upon securing his services. He
is a native of our town, without
a blemish upon his character or

whom we are proud to claim.
AS a student of our county high
school, of which he is a graduate,
he won the Annual Oratorical
Contest medal at Hardinsburg,

the annual Declamatory contest
in our own school. He is a self
made man of ability, determine

that he will give you a school of
which you are proud and trust
that he will meet, at all times,
with your heartiest co. operation
and friendship, for he is well

Scarcity of Ctttle.

Every Mt. Sterling and Win
chester court brings hundreds of
cattle to their markets from the
mountains but the kind that have
passed through here going to Mt.
Sterling this time seem to be
odds and ends as they are all
sizes, shapes and colors with but
very few good cattle in the
punches. Traders seem to be
picking up every cow and heifer
possible as well as steers and the
outlook for future calves is being
limited every day in tins section
and further up in the mountains.
Scarcity of cattle is one thing
that is making them high and will
keep them high for some months
yet to come.

Profitable Crops.

Cow peas are fine this year in
Powell county where many crops
have been grown for feed. Both
the seed and vines are heavy
yielders, and they grow well on
thin soil like we have so much
of. Cow peas and Japan clover
together are a boon to this coun-
try and where the two are persit-
emily grown and fed to live stock
it proves source of great profit.
Especially is this true when the
small cost of production and the
light outlay of capital requir-
ed is taken into consideration.

Monday was September court
day and stock market and there
was a good crowd in the city, the
weather being much cooler and
the day pleasant. There were H.
bout 5000 head of cattle on the
market. There were at least
1,5OO head of feeding cattle soil
on the roads in this city on Sat
urday and Sunday, buyers secur-
ing the pick in that manner.
The cattle brought from 6 to g..
cents per pound. Trade was
brisk at the pens and quality
was fairly good. Buyers were
here from Ohio, Illinois and 9th
err states, and all over this State.
Scales were kept busy from
morning until night, and the dav
was an excellent one from bus
