dolph Stone was first seen by me in Michigan
five years ago. His name then was John Ran
dolph, and how he has since come to add to this
the other appelatlon of Stone must leave to
him to explain.
Il was born in Michigan myself and TIL my
eighteenth year I lived with my father, who
was wdower without any other child, in a
little low cottage amid the sand mounds that
border the eastern side of the lake.
II was not pretty. but every man who passed
me on the beach in the streets OF the little
town where went to market and to church
stopped to look at me- and this I noticed, and
from this perhaps my unhappiness arose.
But fate had reserved me for wretchedness,
and one day Just was the verge of my
eighteenth year. l John Randolph.
81 was coming out of church when our eyes
first met, and noticed, after the first shock my
simple heart received from his handsome face
and elegants temperance, that he was surveying
me with that strange look of admiration I had
seen before many faces: and the joy this
gave me- and the certainty which came with 1t
of my seeing him again, made that moment

to real. intrinsic food values.
Eat the cowpea, and grow strong and
healthy" he said.
Besides, 1t is a heterogeneous plant, and nj
trogen is what the soil needs. Thus, plowed
under when the crop is garnered, the plants
give to the soil just that element that is neces-
sary for perfect productiveness The earth is
aided" the Assistant Commissioner points out,
AS well as men"
So Georgia, as patriotic venture. must grow
more cowpeas The State Department OF
Agriculture has its eyes firmly set on achieving
that end
I'VE must learn to live at home" said Mr.
Hughes. 1T is easy more than easy, for Geor-
CLANS. There is soil, climate. adaptability-
and cowpeas. An Eldorado could ask no more"
The Assistant Commissioner has some fig
ures for serious thought. Georgia raises only
one thirty-second of the cowpeas that 1t should,
he will tell you.
Last year there were only about 100000
acres in cowpeas,' he said There should be
100000. That Is the extent to which we of
the State Department believe in this most de-
srable article of food"
And bulletins are being printed, and liter
ature prepared, proclaiming the virtues and the
mightiness of the tiny cowpea The public
will be asked to observe cowpea day The sue
culence, the nutrition, the general, all-around
excellence of the cowpea will become common
knowledge.
The public is going TO learn that the milk
and honey of the Promised Land would be in
sipid beside Georgia's cowpea. 1t will be an.
nounced that all the brains and art of all the
lordly chefs could not concoct dish more de-
sirable and worthy than juicy mess O. cow
peas" And thus 1t is hoped that some degree
of honor can be accorded this puissant element

was the beginning of that passion which has I'M
done me, ruined him, and brought death and
sorrow to many others of more worth than
either of u.s.
My father, who was no fool, and who saw
the selfish quality in this attractive lover of
mine, alarmed by our growing intimacy.
Taking opportunity when we were both in a
more sensible mood than common he put the
case before Mr. Randolph IN a very decided way
He told him that either ne must marry me at
once quit seeing altogether No delay
was to be considered and no compromise al
lowed.
AS my father was with whom no one
ever disputed, John Randolph prepared to leave
the town, declaring that he could marry no one
at that stage of his career. But before he could
carry out his intention, the old intoxication re-
turned and he came back in a fever Of love and
Impotence to marry me.
IT quite In earnest when I said: 7 know
I not pretty or as nice as the ladies' you
are accustomed to- But I have a heart that has
never known any other passion than its love
for you, and from such a heart you ought to
expect a lady to grow. and there will. Only
give me the chance. John: only let me learn to
read and write
But he was in an incredulous state of mind
and It ended in his going away without making
any arrangement for my education.

could at least express myself correctly, awoke
to the realization that so far as my husband
was concerned, had gone through all this labor

ENGINE NOT YET PERFECTED
Great Things Looked For OF the Diesei
Motor, But They Seem of
the Future.

Although the sanguine popular writ
ers who have to find unexpected won
ders in every new thing to make a
place for their articles predict an I'M
mediate revolution in marine propul-
sion following the perfection OF the
Diesel engine, the revolution itself has
been rather slow in materializing. The
Dieselengined battleship is apparent
w still an achievement of the distant
future And as for the Dieselengined
airship. which the Germans are report
ed to have invented (this engine is
necessarily much heavier than tbs
gasoline engine), it may safely be PIT
on the shelf with that other pseudo
German wonder, gas with three
times the lifting power OF hydrogen,
and absolutely non-inflammable,"
which is now used for floating the
kaisers Zeppelin warships.
The Diesel engine is, however, COM
ing to be used more and more in
smaller naval vessels, particularly SUBJ
marines. Most Of the latest and largest
of these are propelled by Diesel en-
gines. Some of them develop as much
as 1000 horsepower. Larger craft of
this type are said now to be under con-
struction in which Diesel engines of
5000 horsepower will be installed. A
number of destroyers and coast-de-
tense gunboats have also been engined
with Diesel motors. The engine is in
use to some extent in motor-tank YES
sells acting as tenders to warships.
How far it will eventually go in dis
placing the steam engine for marine
propulsion is still very uncertain

MUSTN'T CASH PAY CHECKS.

A deputation from the Ministerial
association of Los Angeles recently
went before the public safety COM
mittee with a request that saloons be
forbidden to cash pay checks. A gem
eral public discussion followed, GER
tain employers promising to pay in
cash, and certain banks and stores Of
fering to keep open to cash checks.
AS a result the police commission is
sued an order prohibiting check-cash-
ing by saloons. On the following
Monday the chief of police reported
at follows
1--WE usually have from 80 to 80 ar
rests for drunkenness on Saturdays
and Sundays, but for the last two
days we have had but AZ for each
day. which I attribute directly to the
enforcement of the order forbidding
saloons to cash pay checks"
Among other results must be count
ed the increased efficiency of 40 work
ers, happy Sunday for 40 families,
money spent with the legitimate
trades, and the saving of court and
jail expense of caring for 40 DRINKS.

INSURANCE COMPANIES KNOCK.

The general manager of one of the
big life insurance companies of this
country, in letter to one of his agents
declining to write policy for sa-
loonkeeper, had this to say:
1--WE do not want the name of be-
ing a saloonkeepers company, and of
taking grade of risks which are
promptly refused by the leading and
conservatively managed companies of
the country.
Life insurance companies are en-
gaged-all of them-in encouraging
thrift, protecting homes, and in
serving the welfare of the individual,
the community and the state. Sa-
loonkeepers-all of them-are en-
gagged in discouraing thrift, destroying
homes and in injuring the individual,
the community and the state. There
is nothing in common between us,
and we do not even care for business
relations with them"

PROFIT IN CAREFUL FEEDING
Common Cows Capable Of Producing
Much Larger Yield Than Secured
by Ordinary Methods.

By T. L. HACKER. Minnesota Expert
ment Station.)
From a careful investigation we find
that our common cows are capable of
producing much larger yield than is
secured from the average common COW
In the state. During the past decade
we have always had at the Minnesota
university farm, in the dairy herd, a
number of common COWS; that is, cows
with no dairy heredity.
The average yield from these COM
mon cows, for % yearly records, is
5000 pounds Of milk and 222 pounds
of butter; which last, valued at %
cents per pound, is equal in round
numbers to $50 for Batter alone. The
average receipt per common COW in
the state is s464o; which shows that
the average COW IL yielding s14 less
per annum than she might easily yield

given the cows at university farm.

Japan's PAPER Underclothinq.

The Japanese are now making I'M
derclothing of finely crisped or grained
paper, the New York Weekly states.
After the paper has been cut to a
pattern, the different parts are sewn
together and hemmed, and the places
where the buttonholes are to be
formed are strengthened with calico
or linen. The paper is, very strong
and at the same time very flexible
After a garment has been worn few
hours it will interfere with the per-

garments made of cotton fabric.
The paper is not sized, nor is it i'm

paper is difficult to tear. When an en-
deavor is made to tear it by hand 1t
presents almost as much resistance
as the thick skin used for making

CARING FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Military Surgeons Have Given Consid'
cradle Thought to This Most
important Subject.

Every year at the French military
maneuvers, in spite of the fact that
the military boot is chosen a trif1e
large to avoid injuring the feet, in the
first few days marching large num-
Der of soldiers suffer from blisters and
chafing, which compel them to go on
the sick list, and the same would
doubtless be the case in warfare. Doc
tor Arnould, military medical officer,
having noted the coincidence of these
injuries with too great mobility OF the
foot in the regulation boot, suggested,
according to the Paris correspondent
of the Lancet, the use of leather
thong rs centimeters long by five in
width, which is bound round the boot
outside, being placed in the hollow of
the foot, brought over the instep and
crossed in a figure eight backward
round the tendon of Achilles, thus i'm

Waiting the chatting.
In all the regiments in which this
method has been adopted the number
of footsore soldiers after the early
marches has been reduced to an insig-
nificant proportion. The analogous
German "Fusschoner" contain steel
bands, which render the apparatus
both more complicated and more
costly.

that alcohol inevitably slows man

naturally say the umpire; well, all the
umpires together haven't put as many
bail players out of the game as Old

that it is not only excessive drinking
that does harm, but that even the mod
crate use of alcohol won't do for the
professional player. 1t will take off
from three to five years of his baseball
life. The Athletics have no rules con-
corning their personal habits, but out

their lives. When they were playing
the Chicago Cubs, Mack said to them:
1T would be bad enough to lose the
championship without having bundle
of regrets to poster you. It's hard
enough to lose to a better club, but to
beat yourselves-say that's the way
to throw away game after you have
