Mrs. Copeland Changed Her Name
By ARTHUR L. BURROUGHS

transcOntinental lines were finished,
and the western part of North Ameri-
ca began Il development that has work
ed wonders. New farming territory
was opened, towns and villages sprang
up with modern conveniences, and the
people, throwing off their uncOuth
manners with their rough dress, were
transformed into ladies and gentlemen.
Some twelve years after my hunting
trip to the west l had occasion to visit
Washington. Congress was in session,
and the social season was at it's height.
At a reception Of the president, which
l attended, l was moving about among
the thrOng when l met a man and a
woman handsomely dressed, both Of
The lady showed signs of recognizing
me, but passed on with only the sign.
Later a man, evidently a westerner,
approached me and said:
BEG your pardon, sir. There Is a
lady in another room who desires to
speak with YOU"
l followed him, and he led me to the
woman l had net shortly before.
Mrs. Senator Coyne" said my con-
ductor, and since he did not know my
name he left us.
1 stood looking at the lady wonder
ingly, while she sat looking at me with
an amused expression on her face.
Then suddenly through the silk and
lace gown she wore I recognized the
woman I had boarded with years be-
fore. l grasped her hand.
You would hardly recognize in me-
she said, 1.-The woman you boarded
with when on your hunting trip, would
you? And you wouldn't have expected
that l would marry Pete Coyne. Fact
is, I saw there was the making of a
fine man in Pete, and when you were
with me l was trying to get him up
on to a higher plane. He made money
by contracting, and after awhile ]
married him. Then when the terri.
tory became a state he was sent to
congress. That led to his being made
one of the states senators, and here
we are right in it for all we're worth
"And I assure you," I replied, ''one
would not suspect but that you were
born here"
"Oh, this is my third winter in Wash.
ingtOn. When l first came l was pref
ty rough. But, you see, Pete was
rougher than I, so 1 had to pull myself
together and get OF to society ways
in order to polish him. That's beer
my hardest job. Pete is older than
am, and you can't make a gentleman
of a mar after he's grown up. IT,
hard enough to make a lady of a wo
man."
Nevertheless Senator Coyne was ar
influential man in the senate during
the time he represented his state there
1 was probably the only person in
Washington who knew that he owed
his rise to Kate Copeland.

Dead Queens Bed Prepared Niqhtly,

The queen of Hanover, wife of King
Ernest Augustus of Hanover DIETER
known as the Duke of Cumberland,
son Of George III.), died at Hanover
about 1912 of an illness which bafiied
the skill of her doctors as to its real
cause. During her illness a clairvoy-
ant was consulted, who wrote certain
curious signs and words ON the door
OF her bedroom: but, although these
mystic words Were repeated over and
over again, the queen died. The king
of Hanover after his wife's death gave
orders that her bedroom should al
ways be kept as though the queen
would sleep there at night. The bed
was turned down, the pillows re-
shaken, hot water brought and the
daintiest slippers laid in readiness for
her.-LOndon Taller.

Its way across the great American
desert /, being fond of hunting wild
game, went to a small town on that
part of the line that was finished and
made it my headquarters for hunting
buffaloes and other game. I boarded
with Il Mrs. Copeland. Whether she
was a widow, a brevet widow or held
no matrimonial commission whatever
no one cared, and no one asked. Her
regular boarders called her by her first
name, Kate. She was one of those
women who fit in readily with uncouth
surroundings. Her boarders were all
men, but every man vas respectful to
her, in accordance with the of
the country. They did not hesitate to
swear in her presence, and probably If
II of them should have had a diff
Guilty with another neither would have
hesitated to shoot in her presence, but
so far as she was herself concerned she
was immune from any d%isrespect what
ever
Mrs. Copeland was but twenty-three
years old and tolerably good looking.
She showed no preference for any Of
the men with whom she came in con-
tact and accepted no attentions from
any n Of them. She treated them all
alike, except one, Peter Coyne, whom
she seemed disposed to quarrel with.
Coyne had been a professional gam
bier, but had recently turned his at
tention to a contract he had with the
railroad for taking dirt from where it
was not needed and putting it where
rails were to be laid. He appeared to
be the most forceful of Hates board
ers, and l wondered why she singled
him out for i'll usage. Her treatment
seemed to trouble him, and every time
she scolded him he would hang his
head and take what she said to him
like a guilty schoolboy.

COyne We're never occasioned by any
ill treatment of her. Sometimes they
arose from differences Of opinion,

NEW PLANTS DISTRIBUTED.
Uncle Sam Has Sent Out About 10000
Packages of Seeds.

This year the department of agri-
culture has distributed in all some 2O,-
600 packages of seeds of new forage
plants and grains, chiefly feterita and
Sudan grass, which are particularly
suited to the semiarid conditions found
in the west and southwest. NOthwith-
standing the extreme drought of last
year, these two and some other ley
dry belt crops came to maturity and
furnished forage where practically all
other crops failed. Fetcrita is Il grain
and forage sorghum similar to Kaffir
and milo, while the Sudan grass is a
wild form of sorghum somewhat
coarser than millet. Among other new
crops, the seeds of which were dis
tributed, were the Amraoti and Ban
gala varieties of field peas, also new
strains of wheat, millet and Tepary
beans, which latter are especially
drought resistant and give much prom.

MISSING OPPORTUNITIES.
Many Of Us Overlook Them Because
They Are Too Near.


Lots of fellows have overlooked an
opportunity simply because they were
too close to it.
Don't be like the sick man who heard
of the curative properties of the waters
of Carlsbad and went there to take
them. After he arrived he consulted
a physician who carefully diagnosed his
case and then told him that his par.
ticular ailment would respond better to
h waters of a certain spring in Amer
let. (Which spring?" asked the pa.
tient. Zone of the springs in Sara.

tainly tough!' said the sufferer. II live
in Albany"
If you're made of the right stuff
you'll find plenty of room to create
something for yourself in the job you've
got. You can grow just as big there as
you can in something Of your own
building.
They say that opportunity knocks
once at every mans door. I don't
know the name Of the scientist who
managed to get such a fine line on the
habits Of opportunity, but if opportu-
nifty does announce itself the chances
are that it misses many a door, and in
some cases when it does knock l pre-
sumo there's nobody at home"
My impression is that opportunity as
a rule doesn't knock at all-or very
rarely. Opportunity consists Of think
ing, doing, having plenty Of patience
and perseverance, possessing the abil-
ity to size up Il situation and having
the nerve and willingness to take adj
vantage of it.-Maurice Switzer in Les

Study Hog Breeding Records Early.

1t is a good plan for the hog farmer
to begin early in the season to study
over his breeding records with the
idea of making selections from the
gifts for future brood sOws. Even the
farmer merely producing pork can
we'll afford to keep litter records and
study them carefully in making his
selections Of breeding animals. The
character of prolificacy is a hereditary
character. The selection of a gilt from
a litter in which only three or four
pigs were narrowed is likely to inherit
the same character, although this does
not always follow. Where the rec
ords of several years are available
this character may be studied in the
next generation back.

POSTAGE STAMPS THAT STICK
First Ones Appeared In England In
May, 1910.

May, 1910.
The adhesive postage stamp had its
origin in England as a direct outcomel
OF the postal reforms introduced by.
Sir Rowland Hill, whose master mind
created not only the inestimable boon
Of penny postage, but the means by
which 1t was carried into effect-the
adhesive postage stamps.
At the time of the passing of the
uniform penny postage act in 1889 all
postal charges were paid in cash (usu-
ally on delivery, involving an enor-
nous mount of bookkeeping on the
part of the postoffice, which would
have been increased a h%undredfold
when the reduced rates Of postage
came into force but for the suggestion
OF the great postal reformer for "a bit
OF paper just large enough to bear the
stamp and coated at the back with a
glutinous wash" being subsequently.
embodied in the famous one penny
black postage label and its consort, the
twopence blue, which made their debut
In May, 1910, and were the progenitors
of all adhesive postage stamps.
For three short years Great Britain
enjoyed a monopoly of this novel and
handy method of collecting postage,
until in July, 1S43, the enlightened en-
pire Of Brazil followed suit with a
series Of unprepossessing adhesive la
bells of native manufacture, adorned
with large numerals of value in place
of a design.
In 1917 the United States entered the
field with two beautifully engraved
portraits of Franklin End Washington.
while the head of Ceres, the goddess of
agriculture, found place on the first
stamps of the French republic, en-
graved by the elder Barre, which made
their debut on Jan. 1, ~1S49.-Strand

Use of Fertilizer.

There is no need of any farmer buy
ing commercial fertilizer if the soil
and climatic conditions make possible
the growing of. alfalfa, red or sweet
clover. The statement made does not
hold in case land has been robbed for
generations, for in such cases the ap-
plication of commercial fertilizers with
and the growing of legumes
are necessary.

AMATEUR TREE TRIMMERS.
Remember In Cutting Large Limbs to
Take OF Little at a Time.

lake Of Little at a TIne.
For those who undertake the trim
ming Of trees for the first time it Is
a suggestion worth remembering to
saw from beneath close to the tree on
limbs Of considerable size. After max
ing a cut of fair depth the saving may
be done from the top side. This pre-
caution prevents the splitting down of
the limb and the marring of the trunk
just beneath. A further safeguard in
the cutting off of large limbs is to take
thcmNOff a foot or more from the trunk,
later taking off the stub. All limbs
should be removed in such a way that
the cut will be as close to the trunk as
possible and on a line with the one of
the trunk.
