TEACHING HOW TO
 GROW LIVE STOCK
Missouri Pacific-IrOn Mountain Estab- fishes Demonstration Farm
 in Missouri.

The growing of live stock for mar ket by forage feeding is the distinct i've feature of the demonstration on saw, Mo-, inaugurated by the Missaur- Pacific railway. The railway company already has demonstration farms in operation at various points along it's lines, but this is the first venture of the company into the field of animal husbandry. On September l, 100 head of hogs, 200 sheep, 30 breeding ewes and 150 Idaho lambs will be brought on the farm. The soil is now planted to a variety of forage crops, sown in succession, consisting of COW peas and corn together, COW peas planted separately, oats, soy beans, rape and rye pasture. The crops are in first class condition at the present lime. The animals themselves will do the harvesting, thus doing away almost entirely with the item of expense for labor in that respect. As the eXperi- ment is for the purpose of showing that this kind of animal husbandry which has been successfully introduce ed by Prof. H. Doane, head of the farm management of the Missouri Ag ricultural college. on many farms throughout the state, returns the max imum of profit in addition to building up the soil. close check will be kept on every item of expense and on the gain made by the animals on the diff ferent forage foods.
 The agricultural department of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain is one of the hobbies of President B. F. Bush and much interest in the experimental farm work being done has been manl- fested by the farmers along the com pany's lines. Just recently a large land company near Sheridan Lake, Colo, desiring that incoming settlers should have the benefit of scientific farming methods, set aside a 320-acre farm to be used under the direction of the Missouri Pacific road as dem onstration farm. Within the next year it is proposed to make this a model farm for that section of the country.

The Yellow Envelope.

More than one summer show" had begun to blazon an alluring sign over the door of Broadway theater be- fore The House of Esterbrook" closed its season. The fame of the play had gone abroad through the country, and night after night, long after the resi- dence part of New York showed labyrinth of boarded fronts, every seat in the Gotham was sold before the curtain went up.
 The house was packed to the roof on the night the play closed. It was the middle of June and the city had grown uncomfortably hot. Wentworth had spent a restless day. It seemed to him as if the air was filled with an- ticipation.,. He overheard the Breens discuss their plans for the summer in Maine camp. Julie Volk had ap- preached him. half shy, half eager. to tell of shore cottage where they were to stay with Dorcas until the season opened. Telesrams came and went, everyone in the theater had plans except himself. He felt for saken and isolated amid the excite ment of a closing night. He had no ties-not human being cared wheth- or he came or went. There was . house--he held the title deeds for 1t. he paid taxes and hired servants to care for it-but it was not homo.

OSTEOPATHS MEET.
Two Thousand Delegates Attending
 Convention at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 31.-The largest gathering of osteopaths ever held is assembled in this city to at tend the annual convention of the American Osteopathic association which opened this morning, and will continue until August 8. Osteopathy is relatively new movement, origi- nted by Dr. A. T. Still, a physician of the old school. who had served as surgeon in the union army. Various osteopathic' colleges are located trhoguhout the United States, and these have graduated six thousand practitioners. It is recorded that doctors of osteopathy now hold sec oud place in the United States. the number of their students being ex- ceeded only by the so-called allopathic school, they having more men in col lege than the homeopaths and eclec- tics together. Over '2,000 delegates are present, among them being many of the foremost practitioners of oste- opathy throughout the United States and Canada.

'I will call you If he does not sleep" said the doctor.
 Merry walked to the window and stared vaguely into the darkness. A little clock on the mantel struck three Once he looked over his shoulder at Dorcas. He could hear the crackle of stiff paper as she unfolded few long, narrow sheets which were tied in a thin bundle.
 T have found Enoch's will and a number of business papers. Here are his bankbooks and the contract with Oswald for the play. There are bonds and things of that sort-things l do not understand. 1 imagine" the girls voice broke into sob. it must be the will he wants
 Probably, it is, dear" said Andrew gently. She laid the papers on the desk and lifted a yellow envelope. There was no writing upon it; it was unsealed. She took out slip of pa per and stood motionless while she read it. Then her fingers moved in 8 electricity under the green globe above the desk.
 The room is so dark" she mur- mured.
 She dropped the paper upon tho blotter in front of her and leaned upon the desk with he face between her hands.

 Then you came back. with the play finished, and read it to Enoch, and he he claimed it-because he held this against you?" She laid trembling finger upon the sheet of paper.
 Yes"
 Dorcas sat perfectly still with her arms lying on the desk. Merry bent over and gently touched her cheek.
 "Oh!"', she shrank away from him with shuddering cry. "Oh, how could you let him do such a thing! It was so cruel, so inconceivably cruel so shameful. and so unjust! It was such a mistake! Why did you let my brother do such thing?"
 "I don't know" Merry spoke ab ruptly.
 Tell me why you let him do it, :" persisted the girl

All have left to say. Wentworth. and you must choose between two paths: either cut that woman out of your life or don't expect to take your place among decent citizens
 There was look of discomfort and anxiety in Grant Oswald's pale, high bred face while he spoke. although his voice was emphatic. Enoch did not answer. He moved restlessly in his chair once or twice, lifted a pro gram that lay on his desk, and ran his eyes through it's pages. Oswald paused as if waiting for reply.
 Il cant understand your infatuation, Wentworth" he went on; the woman degenerates every day of her life. God knows bitter tone crept into his voice. "I feel culpable for even bringing Ter across the ocean. Then l ought to have let her go when I spoke of 1t a month or two ago. She was bound to do mischief. only never drea med that you would fall into her clutches. warned you"
 Ehoch sat in sullen stiffness. with his eyes fixed on a calendar which hung above the desk

She has tried, more than once, to cross the line l drew She didn't succeed, and it gals her. l never put into words what think of her. She understands. how ever, that recognize her value dra- matically, while personally-to me she is offensive. If she has you in her power, won't you tell me? It would never go beyond these walls. She knows that know her story. Low as she has sunk. she realizes that it is not what the world would call a creditable story. l can handle her easily"
 A eleam of relief and hope drifted for 8 moment across Wentworth's g face. Then he laughed nervously and the sullen frown returned to his eyes. He rose and began to pace the office floor with nervous footsteps.
 Wont you trust me-" pleaded Os- wald. Il have real regard, Went worth, for you as we'll as for your genius. l would do it for your sis ter. if for no other reason. There is time enough yet to pull away, but, he spoke abruptly. ''it won't be lorg. The woman has dragged more than one man to the gutter or to-snicide." /"
 Wentworth laughed disagreeably. ~well, 1t won't be suicide" he an. swered harshly.
 Don't be too sure. When a man who has always had fair amount of 7self-respect begins to lose it, he usu- ally faces two alternatives; that is. unless he has solid anchor in his hom6.''
