knocked and was admitted by an old
man.
'You are Deacon Merivale, are you

Speak louder. l am hard Of hear

Are you Deacon Merivale?" the
questioner repeated, raising his voice.
Still he was unheald and shouted the
question in the mans ear.

man, falling on the strangers neck.
Meanwhile the two had drifted from
the hall into the living room. AS the
visitor looked over the old mans Shout
der door opened, and he saw the face
and figure of young girl on the
threshold. The situation was awk-
ward. The deacon did not see the girl
or hear her. She looked at the new
conner for an explanation.
HE thinks I'm Edgar" he said.
A quick intelligence passed over the
girls face.
Don't try to disabuse his mind"
she said. He has been talking of my
brother continually of late. His mis-
take may turn out fortunate one."
This was great relief to the sup
posed son. Now that the responsible
ity was on another he resigned himself
to play his part.
Father, forgive me-" he said, with
feigned emotion.
The old man raised his head and saw
his daughter.

brother, has returned to u.s."
Here was a new embarrassment.
Any brother returning from long abb
sence would naturally take his sister
in his arms for an affectionate en-
brace Any sister would naturally fly
to the arms of her brother. Yet these
two stood apart.
Daughter" said the old man severe
ly. Il have forgiven Edgar. 1t is my
wish that you welcome him home"
The spurious Edgar advanced peni-
tently and, gently putting his arms
about the girl, who blushed red as a
rose, kissed her.

gone to bed, thankfulness in his heart

LOSSES IN STORED CORN.
Tests to Learn Amount of
Shrinkage In Storage.

Farmers who hold large quantities OF
corn in storage may learn some prac-
teal lessons from recent tests by gov
eminent agents in Baltimore as to the
amount that corn shrinks in storage.
The observations We're made on U.s.
600 pounds of shelled corn stored in
Il wooden hopper of a Baltimore ele-
vator from Jan 5 to May IA. 1910, the
corn then being run out and elevated
to the scale three times, after which
it was allowed to lie eighteen days
longer, making 147 days in storage al
together. From Jan. 5 to April 21 the
corn remained in good condition, and
the Shrinkage in weight was approXi-
mately four-tenths per cent, but after
the latter date the corn became sour
and hot, with Il maximum temperature
of 1873 degrees f., and up to May IA
had shrunk about 90 per cent more.
During the three elevations to the
scale the Shrinkage was 1.65 per cent
on the basis of the weight of the corn
in the hopper just before handling.
From May IA to June 1. after the corn
had cooled to 50 degrees by handling,
the shrinlage was 2.6 per cent. The
total shrinkage during the storage pc
Rod of 147 days was 1929 pounds, or
about o. per cent 1t was also deter
mined that as long as the corn remain
ed in good condition its rate of shrink
age was largely influenced by the
weather-by the degree of humidity.
for example, and the temperature of
the air.
Other facts learned were that on
Jan. 5 the average moisture content OF
the corn was 1873 per cent, While on
June 1 it was 14.7 per cent On the
same dates the corn showed power OF
termination amounting to 500 and
per cent respectively and a weight PEE.
bushel of 54.7 and 30 pounds respec-
lively. On Jan. 3. OIL per cent of the
corn was sound, while on June 1. after
the severe heating, only IL per cent
remained sound.
In all probability corn stored on the
cob would not deteriorate so greatly as
sheled corn, yet there would doubtless
be some loss under such conditions

GETTING RID OF THE BUGS

The tarnish plant bugs Iygus pra

In the semi-fnal Young Kelly won

Paddy Kimball of this city, had a
shade in his bout with Bobby Pow
ers, of Milwaukee. Both boys were
willing. and as the rounds pro-
gressed the interest in the bout be-
came more intense. Kimball was at
his man throughout and was entitled
to the decision at the end of the six
rounds. The bout between Young
Kantig. of Passaic, and Young Hick,
colored, of Orange, was stopped in
the second round, after Hicks had
pounded his opponent all over the
ring. Babe Ankert by wonderful
squirt in the final round of a four
round session was entitled to a draw
with Young Seidel. The opening bout
brought together Young Fitzgerald
and Young Victor. The former was
top-heavy and fat, and after being
sent to the boards three times for a
count of nine was finally counted out.

frankie Burns's speed and expert
ence were away too much for Jimmy
McVeigh and his seven-and- one half
pound advantage at the Hillside A. c.
last night. Burns, when MeVeigh
tipped the scales at 124 pounds, in
stead of 120, refused to go on, as !e
weighed but 116h pounds with his
fighting togs on, but later relented.
McVeigh put up good fight at that,
with the aggressive and strong body
furnishing Burns, but it was pretty
evident that couple of rounds more
would have seen the local lads finish.
From the work Burns did last night
it is easy to see that the bantams in
this country had better look out for
him, for he simply lowered head and
shoulders in ability over the young
McVeigh, who lost $25 weight forfeit
for being over weight.
There were times during the six
rounds when McVeigh showed traces
of what he could do with the expe-
rience of Burns. He handed frankie
