Lilith and her mother called at his
bachelor quarters think he was Civ
ing a tea that day-the little creature
ran screaming from her and, climbing
the curtain pole, sat at that safe ele-
walton and moved and grinned at her.
Minnie doesn't seem to like me-"

you ought to get rid of her, John?"
(They called each other by their first

She paused in we'll calculated con-

They had been strolling along the wa

day. But at the words a sudden chill
fell upon him and before his eyes
there rose the gentle image of Ada

Her letter never altered in tone, ex-
cept that they had become a little
more reserved, a little more distant,
in response to the unconscious change
in his. And ever he halted between
his two loves, now resolutely faithful
to Ada and now overpowered by the
exotic allurement of Judge Aintree's
daughter.
The old life seemed very far away
now. The new life wal pleasant and
alluring. He had been taken UP by

he and Lilith were engaged. He must
make his decision. ,
The day of his decision came. II
was a perfect afternoon in the season
of rains. John Folsom, his little com

seated in a swinging chair in Judge
Aintree's garden. He had brought
Minnie with him because she whim

Hope Remaining.

One of the most remarkable,
and most hopeful, surgical opera
tons of the age was performed
at San Bernardino, CAL, on We'd
nesday. The subject was Carlos
Endino and the necessity for the
operation arose from the fact
that beans were growing from
his head. After the usual an
esthetic had been administered,
the surgeon proceeded to bust
ness and opened the skull of
Carlos. From the innermost re-
cesses of his brain, such as it
was, the operator removed two
navy beans. one of which, in the
rich soil of the brain, the gray
matter of the subject, had
sprouted, sand from it there
emerged the faintest shadow of
bean stalk. The stalk is now
dead, and the two beans repose
in alcohol.
There can be no question about
the fact The Medical Clinic re-
cords it; the physicians confirm
it, and if doubt remains, there
are the beans! But there is
much to be hoped for. The time

Joliet, Ill.-The happiest man

of Gov. Woodrow Wilson is John
C. Baker of Manhattan, whose
sister, Mrs. Mary Russell, was
Wilson's teacher when he was 10
years old. At that time, more
than forty year ago, she predict.
ed that he would some day be
president. She did not live to
see her prophecy fulfilled, dying
three yerrs ago at Leesville, N.
c., at the age of "a.
She was a teacher at Tileston
school at Wilmington, N. c.,
where Mr.. Wilson attended as a
boy. AS a token of his esteem
he carved for her a little fret saw
picture frame, which is now in
the possession of Mr.. Baker.
She watched Mr.. Wilson grow
to fame and with every advance
she changed the picture in the
frame When she left Manhat-
tan she gave the frame to her
brother saying: "You will want
to keep this, for when he gets
IT, be president you will be proud
of it.

Joseph Wilson, visited the Baker
home in Manhattan when Wood

Serves EN- Right.

Early last spring spectators
began to corner" eggs. Before
the summer had passed they had
placed in storage warehouses in
nearly a score of the larger cit
les of the country approximately
100000 cases. They purposed to
hold these eggs until the price
should be forced upward sufi-
GENTLY to give them a good
profit over and above all ex-
penses But these spectators
didn't reckon with the hen,
which kept on laying. with the
result that. prices sharply ad-
vanced, they soon fell owing to
the constant supply of fresh
eggs. Now these spectators
face tremendous losses.
Cornering eggs is gambling in
food stuffs. Eggs are princi-
pie article of diet. Probably
more eggs per capita are con-
sumed in this country than in
any other part of the world
Such consumpti2ns orfers a good
opportunity for speculate O n,
yet of all speculation gamb-
ling in foodstuffs is most repre-
hensible. There ID not one man
out of a hundred who, when he
reads of the enormous losses sus-
tanned by the men engaged in
this egg corner, Will have any
sympathy at all for the losers.
Practically every person will say
that it serves 'em right"

THE LITTLE
PAY
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

ter cannot be procured the fertil.@er
will need to be closely covered to pre-
serve the nitrogen. The sawdust helps
to hold the chemical.
The use of a good fertilizer may lie
depended on to add 80 to 100 per cent
to the productiveness Of a plot IF
ground. and hence no line of activity
on the farm pays better than the prep
aratiOn of compost.
While on this subject wish to ur=e
the importance of having we'll rotte1
manure if the blowing is not done I'M
til spring. 1t is useless to pillow into
the ground a lot of half rotted straw
just before seeding time. If the plOU-
ing is done in the fall a coarse manure
has time to rot and nourish the soil
before the crops are started. Common
barnyard fertilizer is of great value -
field crops if it has not lost its nutri-
tive qualities by long exposure To the
elements. IT needs to rot in q compost
heap for several months if it is going
into the ground Immediately before
seeding grain or vegetables. 1t is best
to devote the fertilizer produced from
the poultry house entirely to the gar
den, while that coming from the live
stock stables may properly go to the
fields.
Not only is poultry house fertilizer
the most valuable that the farm pro-
duces, but it is free from weeds, and
this is a strong point in its favor.
Much of the manure which farmers
use, especially that hauled from towns.
is full of the seeds of noxious weeds,
the growth of which causes a great
deal of work besides damaging field
crops.
