A one-crop Country Short Lived.

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
Probably there are very few of US
who do not know what a legume is. but
many OF us might be at a loss to tell
whether or not some particular plant
falls under that head. Here is a list
OF b important legumes, as given by
the u. S. D. A.:
Red clover. alfalfa. cowpeaa, alsike
clover. crimons clover. white clover.
soy beans. peanuts. Canada hairy

Japan clover. sweet clover, bur clover.
and beggars we'd
This list of 16 leaves out some
which are not very important as field
statement. which is worth while Tor ali
OF US to memorize:
Among various causes which have
led to the abandonment Of lands once
cultivated. there is no doubt that the
greatest single cause is the failure to
utilize legume crops,

How to Act When Followed by Wolves

Except in the far back regions, where
the wolves have vet to learn what man
is. there is very little likelihood of be-
ing followed by a pack intent on mis-

the August Wide World 4 single wolf
viii invariably follow man, however,
simply out Of curiosity, though the
man seldom knows he is being tracked
So keen is the scent of these animals
that they will follow trail a consid-
cradle distance from them, running to
the windward side of it, and never ven
turing forth from cover.
Should the man be carrying a rifle
however, the gleam of the barrel in the
moonlight is quite sufficient to satisfy
their curiosity. Sometimes wolves will
run the trail of Il man simply because
they do not recognize it. 1t is then
that cool nerves and steady hand are
necessary. Providing the man behaves
in proper way, there is no danger
whatever. The best thing to DO, if the
cold is intense, is to keep moving till
the wolves are quite near, then to turn
and await them in an open place. The
sight of a man standing alert with rifle
ready is sufficient to frighten any pack,
while should one behave in panic
stricken manner, there is Just a chance
that their hunger may prove the decid-

EX-GOV. SMITH OF NEW
HAMPSHIRE is DEAD
Was Native of Saxtcns River
Founder and Successful Manager
of Mills in Hillsboro.

HIlLSBORO, n. H., Aug. 11.-John
b. Smith, governor of New Hampshire
in 1898 and 1894, died of brights dis
ease at his home here yesterday after
long illness He was 76.
Mr.. Smith was prominent in business
for many years owner of the Contoo-
cook mills in this town, and was presi-
dent Of the Hillsboro Savings bank at
the time of his death. A wife and two
sons survive.
The funeral will take place Thursday
at Smith Memorial church, named for
the Ex-Governor after many benefac
tions by him. Mr. Smith had a winter
home in Boston.
John Butler Smith was born in Sax
tons River, Vt, April u, 1888. At the
age of his family removed to Hills
boro and Mr.. Smith received his edu-
cation in the public schools and Fran
eestown academy In 1854 he became a
shop hand in peg mill at Henniker;
later was employed in Manchester, then
clerk in a country store at New Boston,
proprietor of a drug store in Manches-
ter, after which he established small
factory at Washington for the produc-
tion of woolen knit goods.
iIt ltdSGh the EodNN NGI liilllS dl NtdIeg
and encouraged by his success there
built in 1866 a small mill at Hillsboro,
which was the beginning of the exten-
sive plant of the Contooeook Mill com
pany in the manufacture of hosiery
and underwear which has such a sale
over the entire country.
He was president of this company
and was associated with the late George
+. Gould until three years ago, when
he sold his entire interest to the Con
toocook Mill Corporation.
Until 1850 Mr.. Smith lived in Man
| chester, since which time he had resid-
ed here. where he built one of the fin
est residences in the state, maintaining
of late years winter home on Bea-
con street, Boston.

en- Lavender of Boston, and they have
two sons, Archibald and Norman.
In politics Mr. Smith has always been
an active Republican. In 1884 he was
a member of the electoral college and
two wears later a member of the execu-
Tive council. In lSSS he was candi-
date for governor, missing the honor
| by a slight margin, and in 1892 the
nomination came to him bv acclama-
tion and he was elected, giving cred
liable business administration.
AS an employer of labor, Mr.. Smith
never met with any difficulty, and to
him belongs much of the credit of
building up this village.
Mr.. Smith had been deeply interest
| ed in church affairs, and a few years
| ago remodeled the Congregational
church here at an expense of $4,000.
bought a house adjoining and removed
| it, grading the lot into fine church
| lawn, and gave the society parsonage.

BATTLE HAS BEEN
FOUGHT IN ALSACE
Reports Indicate French Success Six
Carloads of German Prisoners
Taken by Russians.

LONDON Aug. lin and around
Liege the 81. 4aticl was unchanged to-
day so tar as known. The Germans
held the town itself, but the forts
were still fighting strongly. The Ger
mans main army in the north was re-
ported entrenching itself on the Our
the, whilo two large divisions of cav
airy had reached Tongres north of
Liege. 1t was expected that a general
advance was in preparation and bat
tie imminent, in which the Germans
would be confronted by the allied Bel
gian, French and British.
The French at Muelhausen, Alsace,
met with opposition after their occupa-
tion of that city. A superior force of
Germans caused them to leave the
place and take position outside where
an action was fought, details of which
have not been made public. French
reports are indefinite but give the i'm
preston of French success.
Fighting has evidently occurred on
the Russo German frontier, as six car
loads of German prisoners were re-
ported to have pa sed through Wilma
today on their way to the Russian
interior. Russians have concentrated
considerable army in Finland, thus
disposing of German reports of the
landing of a German army corps there.
Bulgaria Is apparently mobilizing all
her forces as she announces to prevent
violation of her neutrality.
The United States diplomatic officials
in Europe have the further task since
yesterday of looking after French i'll
tcrests ir Austria and Austrian inter
ests in France. 4 state of war has
been proclaimed in the southern prov
inces of Holland. Russian funds seizet
