mime had taken but a few seconds,
then the express drew slowly away
from the local, and the man in gray
had slipped behind, out of sight.
Gordon Craig, Of Texas, rubbed his
forehead in perplexity, glancing
about him. The car was full of
stodgy, self people, for at
this hour even the local trains are
crowded. Most of the passengers
were absorbed in their newspapers
or were staring vacuously at moth
ing. Craig could see no reason why
pretty girl in another train should
be startled into making a violent
gesture to him, a complete stranger
to her. He glanced down at his
well-fitting clothes, took off his hat
and looked at il swiftly. then dropped
his eyes to his polished boots He

who had been crowded close to him
now began to fight his way to the
door. and Craig made space for him
to pass and for the passengers who
had alighted from the express at Sew
enty-second Street to enter.
A hand was laid lightly on his arm
as the train started again. Turning,
he saw the girl at whom he had
smiled in the express. She spoke be-

TWONOTED AUTHORITIES ON alfalfa

In speaking of his experience in the
growing of alfalfa, the Hon. A. P.
Grout of Winchester, ILL.,, one of the
largest alfalfa growers in the state,
has this to say:
''My success at first in growing al
falfa was not startling, but on the
contrary | met with many discourage
ments. Had it not been for the dod-
dies, (sheep and hogs) that seemed so
fond of it, and thrived so we'll on the
small quantities l was able to furnish
them, it is doubtful if would have
kept up the struggle. A knowledge
of it's wonderful feeding value gained
by experience was the incentive that
urged me on.

Turtles Iona SIeen.

The cold-blooded creatures hiber-
nate. Snakes knot themselves up I'M
der log or rock; toads, wood frogs
and tortoises push down in the soft
earth; mud turtles and water frogs
bury themselves in the bottom of
shallow streams and ponds. They all
sleep until hunger wakes them, and
the first thing they do in the spring
is to hunt for a good meal.
If you want to see something hiber-
nate it is easy to keep a box tortoise
or a. water turtle all winter in a box
of earth and moss with a pan of water
at one side.
Before they go to sleep don't forget
to feed them every two or three days
bits of raw meat or earthworms. They
do not care to eat every day and are
able to go a long. time without food.

in the house for two years went to
sleep the first winter just as though
he were out in the cold, but the Sec
ond winter he only took short maps
and had become so tame he would eat

RAISING ALFALFA IN ILLINOIS

Charles e. Yanney of Mclean coun-
ty, on the George S. Hanna Place, has
some remarkable results with alfalfa.
He got good stand on six acres by
breaking the ground the last of July,
disking it three times, narrowing and
cross-harrowing two or three times,
dragging twice, sowing 20 pounds per
acre of seed broadcast, narrowing
1t in and rolling the ground. This
was in 1906. The alfalfa grew about
four inches high that fall and was not
cut. In 1907, it yielded about two
tons per acre, but in addition $50 pigs
in 1908, the big returns began.
Three cutting of hay returned 2h
tons per acre, but in addition $50 pigs
were pastured on this alfalfa from the
time of the first cutting until Deem
Der. The pigs were bought when

GlOverallS

These working clothes give an unusually
large amount of service, due to the way they
are made.
There is more cloth in them than most
manufacturers care to use. They have extra
length and width in the seat and extra width
in the hips and legs.
The severe strain at certain points is
therefore done away with-and one of the
biggest causes of dissatisfaction and discom-
fort removed.

middle of December they averaged

for about 200 bushels of corn fed

5 cents per pound, these hogs re-
turned $4,000; the hay was worth
$195.00, total $657.O0 from six acres
or $4,000 per acre. Contrary to the
results in many other cases this pas
turing did not hurt the alfalfa and
was repeated without harm the next
year.
In 1909, this piece of alfalfa yielded

He was a tall, lanky individual, with

against the counter of confectionery

Joe Wing Believes in Alfalfa.
Joseph E. Wing of Ohio, who has
$50 acres of alfalfa, and who is one
of the best known authorities on this

LOAFING A FINE ART
ACCOMPLISHMENT HARD TO ONE
NOT BORN TO IT.
Everyone Should Set Apart Some
Time for Absolute ReIaxation-Is
Woman's Secret Of Peren-
NAL Youth.

Most of us need a spell of loafing
now and then, but few of us know
how to loaf. Indeed / don't think
it would be at all bad idea to hold
classes in loafing all over this hus-
Ting country of ours, says writer in
the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. 1t
comes so hard to any one who isn't
born a loafer-and the born loafer
doesn't count. He exaggerates what
should be a recreation, and occasion
al indulgence, into a habit, thereby
spoiling both life and loaf, and Incl
dentally throwing an excellent thing
into bad repute.
No one who wouldn't rather work
than loaf is in actual need of loafing,
but there are really few Of us who
don't prefer working at something,
useful or useless, to doing nothing.
And he or she who loves work most
requires to learn loafing.
You can't loaf properly if you are
worrying over negected work or an
ticipated work to come. You must be-
gin to loaf in your mind first of all,
letting it work from inside out, until
you are loafing all over. Just sitting
around and not working isn't loafing
l have seen a woman waiting in the
reception room of an office till her
turn came to go in to the hallowed
precincts beyond, sitting there tense
with work, thrashing things over,
quivering with Impotence, wearing
herself out to no purpose at all. Now,
if she had studied the art Of loafing,
she would have had fine, refreshing
half hour and enjoyed herself thor
oughly besides.
When you loaf you must be filled
with a sense of utter peace, a COM
plete escape from the least notion Of
labor of any sort, deep content in
the large leisure of the hour. No
faintest desire to make time pass"
must be allowed an entrance. Loaf
and invite your SOUL" goes the say
ing, but it is rather your soul that in
vites you. 1t takes you into the re-
giOns of eternity, where time is not,
and gives you splendid idle dreams
and surrounds you with vast spaces.
What good is there in that? Hard
ly one American woman gets enough
of it. We may be idle, many of us,
but we don't know how to loaf. Yet
loafing of the right sort creates a calm
of the spirit, composure of the body,
eminently good for us. Into our
crowded, nervous lives it breathes
sweetly, as might the piping of a
shepherd from vanished Already. A
spell Of loaf1ng will take the knots
and snarls out of your nervous sys-
TEN as nothing else can. 1t will soothe
your irritabiIity and restore your equi-
EbriUm.
A woman who cultivates the art Of
loafng as one Of her possessions will
be mistress of the secret of peren-
NAL youth. Even when she is work
ing her hardest the soothing influence
of her just loafng indulgence will ex-
tend it's balm over her, keeping off
the fidgets, giving her a sense Of
breadth and ease.
You can loaf but five minutes or
five months, according to circum-
stances and necessity. 1t isn't ques-
ton of time, but state of being. But
acquire the power to do it when you
need it, and life will be a brighter
thing to you.

Coburn on Alfalfa,

"The cultivation and feeding of al
falfa mark the highest development
of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one
of natures choicest gifts to man; it
is the preserver and the conserver of
the homestead. 1t does not fail from
old age. 1t loves the sunshine, con-
verting the sunbeams into gold coin
in the pockets of the thrifty husband
man. 1t is the greatest mortgage-lift-
er yet discovered"

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-With all hope
abandoned of securing the deporta-
ton of Jack johnson from Canada,
officials of state and justice depart
ments will begin examination of extra
dition treaties with European coun-
tries to determine whether the negro
can be %eXtradited within European
boundaries. His destination is said to
be Havre. johnson is out on bail on a
sentence of a year for conviction IN

negro pugilist, accompanied by his
white wife, Lucille Cameron Johnson,
is booked to sail for Havre on the
Allen line steamer Corinthian. Sun

officials located johnson last night
with a view of taking summary de-
portation action should he fail to
comply with the restrictions of the
immigration laws.
The negro pugilist in response to a
demand by the officials, produced a
through ticket for Havre purchased
in Chicago. BY this bit of strategy
Johnson tied the hands of the author
tiles in Canada. They are powerless
to act further than to see that he
leaves the country on the ship on
which he is booked to sail.

Johnson said that on June % he pur-
chased two through tickets In Unl-
cage for Havre in the name of John
Arthur johnson and wife, that he
boarded a train for Toronto Tuesday
night. left it at Hamilton and motor
ed to Toronto where he boarded an
other train for Montreal. He said
he was not questioned by immigra-
ton officials at the Canadian border
and experienced no difficulty in cross
ing the line. Johnson said he was
fully advised of his rights and priv
ileges before leaving Chicago.
