He had shaken hands, perhaps not
altogether graciously, with every one

he had waggishly brushed his beard
against Aunt Nancy Smiths cheek,
and then he had taken his place be-

of parting to his wife.
He turned in his seat to wave to

membered She knew that he had
forgotten in the furry of his leave
taking, and she would have fastened
down the steps to stop the carriage;
but all the old ladies were there to
see, and she simply stood, and gazed
after the vehicle as it rolled away
slowly behind the jog trot of Samuels
safe old calico horse. She stood and
looked, holding her chin very high,
and trying to check it's unsteadiness.
A sense OF loneliness and desolation
fell over the Home. Piece by piece
the sisters put away all the clothing
they had offered in vain TO Abe. They
said that the house was already dull
without his presence. Miss Abigail
began to plan what she should have
for dinner the day OF his return.
No one seemed to notice Angy. She
felt that her own departure would
create scarcely a stir; for. without
Abraham, she was only one of group

German Fortresses.

OF the more important German for
tresses Mainz is regarded as the most
strategic point in the west of Europe.
Situated on the eastern front of the
Rhine, which it dominates, it COM
mands also the natural way to the
Danube and the routes leading to the
Elbe Valley, to Cassel and to the Black
Forest. Next comes Koenigsberg, on
the Baltic, guarded on its eastern side
by the Dieme canal.
Metz, the greatest stronghold in
Alsace-Lorraine, is protected by eleven
forts, and in peace time is a center of
the German army. It's sister fortress.
Strassburg, designed by Moltke, was
considered by him to be impregnable.
1t is protected by fifteen forts, con-
nected by citadel railways, and from 1t
armies can maneuver east or west of
the Rhine without Intervention.

PROPER RATIONS FOR LAMBS
No Animal Capable of Giving Better
Returns Than Sheep-Good, Warm
Sheds Are Essential.

AS economical consumers of rough
age and homegrown grains, no animal
is capable of giving better returns
than the sheep Many farmers have
found lamb feeding a profitable bust
ness. Feeding range lambs seems es-
pecially adapted to many farms where
labor is available during the win
ter, and where one of the chief ends of
stock feeding is the resulting manure.
On such farms band of range lambs
will clean up the fields in the fall,
utilize the farm roughage, and leave
a large supply of manure, besides pay
ing profit for their food and attend
ance
Good lambs, bought early in the fall,
and started to pasture and fall for
age, may gain from eight to twelve
pounds per head at very low cost.
Such lambs are in much better condi-
ton to put on full rations of grain, and
will make better gains than those pur-
chased later and put on full feed at
once.
The lambs should go into the feed
lot before the weather is cold and
changeable. What they will CLEAN
from the fields after the first stormy
weather will hardly offset the losses
from exposure and dampness. Good
warm sheds that open toward the
south are best.
During the full feeding period they
will thrive better if kept in punches Of
forty or fifty. In order to do this, the
shed may be subdivided. Yards and
sleeping quarters must be dry and
clean. Foul air and dampness are two
things that sheep cannot stand. The
feed troughs for grain should be fast
ened securely to the racks to prevent
waste. Succulent feed adds to the eff
fciency of the ration. Roots and corn
silage are the best for conditioning
lambs at this time of the year.

ANY SOIL GOOD FOR BEETS
However, Rich Sandy Loan Will Give
Best Results-Plant in Drills,
IL to 10 Inches Apart.

The red garden beet may be grown
in any good soil, but rich sandy loan
will 1--WE the best results. Sow the
seeds in the spring as soon as danger
of frost has passed. Beets should be
planted in drills twelve to eighteen
inches apart, and when the plants are
well up they should be thinned to four
or five inches in the row. If desirable
to plant the rows three feet apart for
horse cultivation, the seeds may be
sown in a double drill with six inches
between, leaving 30 inches for cult
walton. Two ounces of beet seed are
required to plant one hundred feet of
row, or five pounds to the acre. AS a
rule, each seed ball contains more
than one seed, and this accounts for
beets coming up very thickly. The
seed should be covered to a depth of
about one inch For a succession of
young beets during the summer,
paintings should be made every four
or five weeks during the spring
months. Beets intended for winter
storage should not be sown until late
in the summer, the crop being har-
vested and stored in the same manner
as turnips. Sugar beets are often sub.
stituted for the ordinary garden beet,
especially for winter use.
Beets are used for pickles, or boiled,
sliced or fried in butter, adding lit
tie vinegar just before removing from
the fire. The young plants are used
for greens.

Stimulation of MARRIAGES

Many persons believe, writes Mr..
Hugo Hirsh, of the Brooklyn Bar, in
Case and Comment, that the ceremony
OF marriage in order to be legal must
be solemnized by a priest, minister,
rabbi, or other religious teacher, but
this is not so, because there are other
persons mentioned in the law who
may Sc .emnize a marriage. Indeed, in
many OF the states common-law mar
riages, which mean simply the agree
ment Of the man and the women to
live together as husband and wife,
are still recognized. The demand for
religious ceremony, however, is not
always one of creed, but is frequently
caused by desire for the handsome,
expensive and ceremonious setting for
q social function.

the old man mended his roof or
painted the front fence. No matter
what happened of consequence to Cap
tain and Mrs. Rose, Mr.. Editor had
always been jealous to retail the news
before the auction sale of their
household effects marked the death Of
the old couple, and of Abe especially,
to the social world of Shoreville. What
man would care to read his name be-
tween the lines of such a news item
as this?
The Old Ladies' Home Is making prep

Mr.. Editor touched his cap to the
two old men. He was a keen-faced,
boyish little man with a laugh bigger
than himself, but he always wore a
worried air the day before his paper,
weekly, went to pres. and he wore
that worried look now. Touching his
hand to his fur cap, he informed Sam
