GIFT OF THE
 GROOM
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


Copyright, 1911. by Associated Literary Press. ,
 Eric Prescott stood at the window of his little real estate office in Ford port He had opened 1t in the fall and now 1t was spring.
 He looked at the landscape com placently well pleased with himself for various reasons. In the first place, coming from the south. he had shiv- cred and shaken all the cold north ern winter but the warm May weath- CT suited him The freshness Of everything, the little yellowish green leaves. the smell Of the lilacs and the songs of the birds made Fordport more like home.
 Another reason for his felicity was the little office and the TOW Of six nearly completed frame houses halt a block down the street He could see the latter from his window. The out. side work had been done before the rough weather and the inside during the winter months Nothing remained to be done but the trimming. paving and one extra coat of paint on each.
 Erie Prescott was engaged to oe married to Rose Marshall, the belle Of Fordport- When he had settled in the village eight months before Rose was engaged to marry Tom Lyle.
 The minute he saw Rose. Erie made up his mind to have her. The fact that she was engaged to Tom Lyle was nothing to him.
 Few girls would have been proof against the siege he immediately laid to Roses favor. His southern accent and excellent taste in clothes. which set off his tall slender figure. made him favorite with all women
 Erie showered gifts of candy, roses. books and music on Rose. who re fused them all at first-then accepted few flowers reluctantly and finally, overwhelmed with many attentions. succumbed completely, Then she and Tom quarreled and that WAS exactly what Erie wanted. They were soon engaged and Rose was seemingly hap py. She was the envy of all the Ford port girls.
 The corner house in the TOW was to be hers when they were married. Eric gave her to understand that be- fore she had accepted him. She joked at home about loving the house as much ss she loved Eric.
 The house began to look different from the others in the row. The porch was extended around the side and made two feet wider than the other porches.
 Rose. busy with her trousseau. ap- peared to be very happy and the wed ding was a month away. She seldom saw Tom Lyle. He was spending most of his time now at the farm . half miie from the village She con- gratuated herself that she had e. eaped a life of monotony in the coun- try. Town life suited her.
 One day she met Tom driving two strange men toward the farm. lie seemed to be explaining something to them and merely nodded at Rose. ahe went home thoughtfuliy. He evil Aes:iy was not unhappy.
 The day following this meeting with Rose. Tom hitched h!s little black mare to the runabont and drove over 10 see bis chief councillor and confessor. Aunt Polly Goodwin. She was taking nap" in her sitting room when Tom drove in at the gate
 What news, TomEys Sit right down here. Now tell me-is there much coal on the farins"
 Yes. Aunt Polly, acres of il they say. Congratulate me. am a rich man"

k9< Sheep need some careSs
 Fall is the best time to prune. The corn separator is time saver Nothing like a few COWS for the run down farm.
 Be careful how you handle the boar. Keep behind him.
 Tn. keynote of the live stock breed CT should be quality.
 There Is no possible way of deter mining the sex of eggs.
 The best egg producers are not aL ways the best market fowls.
 Warm wheat for breakfast makes the Biddies shell out the eggs.
 Do not feed corn to the ewes while they are carrying their lambs Feeding spoiled meat moldy grain, or any tainted food is not economy. Hogs are in their highest perfection from one-apd-a-half to two years old. Corn fodder costs less than timothy hay. and makes a good change ig the diet
 It is generally estimated that broil- CTS shrink a half pound each when dressed.
 No success can be obtained with poultry unless the fowls are kept comfortable.
 At this time of year a good lock on the poultry house represents money we'll invested.
 Aim for early maturity and keep hogs growing by intelligent feeding and good care.
 All milk utensils should be heavily timed and as free from seams as it Is possible to get them.
 The late matched chickens should have & grass run to themselves, and be given extra feed and care
 Warm drinking water on cold days does just that much to keep the hens in the laying notion in winter.
 Keep sheep dry. giving breeding ewes as much exercise as possible, but avoid exposure to rains and wet snows. Ingenius tackle has been devised to make tree that is being felled pull its own stump from the ground with It.
 When hens lay soft sheIled eggs give them very little raw linseed oil once or twice a day, writes one of our folks.
 Fresh air Is all right for the hens, but not when 1t is sifted through knotholes and cracks between the boards.
 Young apple trees are injured for the most part by freezing at the ground line and by sun scalding on the trunks.
 It is not good for hens to dust in coal or wood ashes only, some folks claim. but we ind that . few ashes tighten up the dirt.

= phatic denial that the United States
steel corporation is a monopoly as
! charged" was made to the Stanley
/ Investigating committee of the House
/ today by President J. j. Farrell in con-
/ tinung testimony begun yesterday.
/ He declared it was not the purpose Of
the corporation to "gobble the export
trade of the wOr-u at any cost"
"A monopoly Of the iron and steel
trade in this country" said Mr.. Far
rell, is neither possible nor desira-
! BILE. There is no monopoly or any
thing approaching it Since the steel
corporation was organized there has
been much new capital attracted to
the industry and many furnaces have
been built which are not controlled by
! the steel corporation.
i 1T is charged that the corporation
! is seeking to drive other countries olt
Of the export market. That is far
from the truth. The British steel in
dustry must export forty percent Of
| the product a year in order to live.
Germany must export fifty per cent,
and Belgium eighty per cent. The
pl oduce of the United States is great

i'm combined, and the domestic con-

ports of the United States amounted

! 100000 as against Germany's five
million tons.
