Successful Woman Farmer.

was Is years old. Her farm consists
of about FIVE acres and is planted ex-
clusively in cantaloupes. She reports

year. The second year she bought It.
the third year she paid up every debt
she owed and put $4,000 In bank. She
does all the work herself after the
frst plowing. for which she pays
farmer $12. Her seeds cost her 81 an
acre, fertilizer $40 an acre and barrels
for shipping one years crop $50 She
sells her melons direct to dealers at
$6 a barrel. She thinks her success
as a farmer ia largely due to the fact
that she loves the work better than
anything else in the world.

CHAPTER xxxlv.
Tho Complete DIvorcer.

Tho Complete DIvorcer.
The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. The
next stop was Reno. and in spite OF
all the wit that is heaped upon the
town. it is a solemn place to those
who must go there in purgatorial PEN
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such d.
vorce-emporiums as dens of evil.
where the wicked make a mockery OF
the sacrament and assail the rounda-
tiops Of society. by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls.
believing that marriage Is human
institution whose mishaps and mis-
takes should be rectified as far as
possible, regard the divorce courts as
cities of refuge for ill-treated or ILL.,
mated women and men whose lives
NAV be saved from utter ruination by
the Intervention OF high-mtnded
judges.
Rut. whichever view is right, the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo It,
Little Jimmie Wellington turned
male and stammered. as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
What kind Of place is that

Then he went his way. leaving Well.
ington red. agape and perblexed. The
trouble with Wellington was that he
had brought along what he was ieav.
ing behind. Or. US Ashton impudentiy
observed: "You ought to enjoy your
residence there. Wellington. with your
wife on hand"
The only repartee that Wellington
could think Of was rather unin-
spired: You go to -"
80 long as 1t isn't Reno" Ashton
laughed. and walked away.
Wedgewood laid q sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder. and said:
That Ashton is no end OF bound
or, what?"
Wellington wrote his epitaph in
these words:
well, the worst I can soy OF him
is. he's the kind OF man that doesn't
lift the plug out when he's through
with the basin."
He liked this SO well that he wished
he had thought Of 1t in time to crack
1t over Ashton's head. He decided
to hand 1t to him ANYWAY. He forgot
that the cardinal rule for repartee. Is
Better never than late.'
As he swung out Of the mems room
he was buttonholed by an individual
new to the little Trans-American col
ony. One OF the camp.followers and
suffers who prosper round the edges
Of all great enterprises had waylaid
him on the way to the battle-ground
Of marital freedom.
The stranger had got on at an
earlier stop and worked his way
through tho train to the car named
"Snowdrop." Wellington was his first
victim here. His pushing manner.
the almost vulture-like rapacity OF his
cleaning eyes. and the very vul-
turine contour Of his proiile. his paimy
gestures. his thick lisp. and every
thing about him gave Wellington his
immediate pedigree.
It Ill behooves Christendom to need
reminding that the Jewish race has
adorned and still adorns humanity
with some Of its noblest specimens;
but this interloper was Of the type
that must have irritated Voltaire into
answering the platitude that the Jews
