trembling lips and earnest tone,

He paused-a blush o'erspread her

Scarce for emotion did she speak. Yet
she did ask, in accents meek, How

LET YOUR HEART DECIDE.

LIE YOUR HEART DECIDE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- am IS and keep house for my
brothers. I know a man older
than l. He is widower, with one
child four years old. He asked
me to marry him. l have known
him about 90 years and he is
a home man. STELLA
There is much in favor of an ac-
ceptance. He is a home man, you
say; you have known him twenty
years, and take it for granted that
you know nothing against him. In
you are in a position of I'M
certainty since your brothers mar
rage would make you homeless.
But against all this there weighs the
question of love. Unless you love
him you will not be happy, though
he were a paragon Of virtue. Your
heart must decide.

Making Farm Lands More

That is the statement of A. P. Grout,
for twenty years grower Of this crop,

Growers Association. It is not wild
boast for the crop that is creating. so

conservative opinion of one who has
made success of farming and gives
credit to alfalfa for much of that sue
cess. Mr., Grout is but one of many
who now realize that alfalfa is a rough
age without a known superior, and that
if it can be successfully grown the
farm and the farmer will become rich

Alfalfa is waiting for an invitation
to every farm in the United States.

of Ohio says, I do not hesitate to
affirm that alfalfa can be grown sue

Washington Letter.
From Geo. w. summsr..l

Democrats,are of the opinion that
the administration has in good faith
gone about the fuIfilment of the DEM
ocratic campaign pledges and that so
far as has been possible, up to the
present time. it has succeeded in car.
rying out its promises. The tariff bill
is not yet law, but it is being pushed
along as rapidly as Republican obstruc-
tionists will permit it to be pushed.
And in the mean time the Democratic
policy on the tariff has been outlined
by the passage of the bill through the
House and the reporting of it in some
what amended form to the Senate after
consideration by Senate committee.
To send Democrat to Congress in
place of Mr.. Davis would be complete
endorsement of the Democratic policy
on the tariff. To fail to elect a DEM
ocrat to succeed Mr.. Davis would be
construed by Republicans and Progress
sives as an expression Of disapproval
of the course of the administration and
the majority in Congress. Therefore,
the closest attention is being paid to
the situation. Ordinarily. q special
election in single district, whenever
situated. would excite little interest
here, and be of little general import.
This time. however because of the
conditions, it is of the highest conse-
qdenee.
West Virginia has taken stand for
President Wilson; it has endorsed his
platform and given him its electoral
vote, and now. in the opinion of Dem
ocrats here. to be consistent. it must
send a Democrat to Congress to sue
coed Mr.. Davis. It makes no differ
ence to the country generally who he
j is, but he must be Democrat unless
the course of the administration is to
be repudiated, and nobody here believes

There are many who hold murder the

pattern on the mount, viz: the de-

of the image of justice.
