OLD AGE BRINGS JOY
Three Sisters Discover Brother ir
Kansas Soldiers Home Whom
They Had Not Seen Since He
Went to Civil War.

Chicago.-Way back in '63 q tall,
Droad-shouldered young man went to
war. His name was Edward Lewey.
In the ranks Of the blue he fought
through the Civil war. He left behind
him three sisters. Recently he saw
them for the first time since he
marched away that day with his regi-
ment.
Last August his sisters advertised
for information concerning their long
lost brother. One of the advertise
ments appeared in a newspaper in
Valparaiso, Ind. An old comrade OF
the soldier living in that city wrote
to the sisters that their brother was
in the Soldiers home in Kansas.
He was sent for. The three gray
haired women awaited his arrival in
a station in Chicago. He came, but
he tapped a cane before him as he
walked. He had been blind nine
years. There was joy, Of course, in
the reunion, but there was sadness
too. He could not see them.
No Chance, He Thought.
Il wonder if there's any chance for
you, brother?" asked one of the sis
tiers as they walked slowly away.
Have you had medical attention, and
have you ever been told you could
meyer see AGAIN."
Il guess it's too late, girls" the vet
eran replied.
He called them girls, because in his
mind they were yet in their teens
mere girls, waving good-by to him and
shouting words of success and good
luck as he t-amped away to battle.
Tenderly they led the stopped man
to the Office of an eye specialist here.
They asked if surgery could not give
him back what his af1iction and age
had taken from him.
There was a chance, the physician
said. An operation was performed.
The eyes were bandaged. The patient
must remain in total darkness.

At last the sisters appeared at the
hospital, their hearts filled with hope.
They are Mrs. Charles O. Chaplin,
Mrs. Hugh Monroe and Mrs. Sophie
Frechete. A nurse led them to their

Slowly the bandages we're removed.
The patient sat dazed for a moment
when the last bit of gauze was taken
away. Then he made a movement

According to the evidence, the
shooting and the arrest are the

and the "Paschallvillers," on the Phil

According to some Of the Darby
boys, a colored youth appeared with
the Philadelphia boys, armed with 4

Darby boys, but the leaden pellets
flew over their heads. Learning this,
Sunquest got his rifle and fired one
shot, which struck the King boy be-

of the brain. He fell unconscious and
was carried home. An X-ray picture

ever the soil and weather conditions
are favorable. In the southern sec
ions of the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coast states the plants are set out in
late summer OF autumn. In both cases
the crop is harvested the following
spring. In other sections of the South
the plants are set in late winter or
early spring and the crop is not har-
vested until the following year. Plants
set out in the spring and not expected
to carry a crop until the following
spring should have the blossoms kept
off during the summer, SO that the
vigor of the plants will not be i'm
paired.
Many rover use young plants
from the old beds for setting new
plantations, while others buy from
plant dealers. The first method is sat
isfactory if only strong and healthy
young plants are selected; old plants
that have produced fruit. do not give
good results and should never be
used. A practice followed in many
sections is to cultivate and fertilize
he fields after the berries are har-
vested, in order to get a good growth
of runners When the young plants
reach the proper size fol- planting they
are taken up and set out in the new
fields. This is a good practice and
should be generally followed where
plants from the old patch are used.
Plantations hat do not produce fruit
make stronger plants for setting than
those that produce both fruit and
plants.
Some varieties of strawberries have
both stamens and pistils (male and
female organs) and are called "per-
feet Powered" while others have only
pistillate (female) flowers. When
planting strawberries the grower
should give careful attention to this
point, for pistillate plants will be I'M
productive when planted alone. When
varieties with only pistillate flowers
are selected they should be planted
with perfect Powered varieties. A
common practice where imperfect va
rieties are used is to plant one row OF
perfect lowered varieties to three or
four lows of imperfect, or pistillate.
plants. In such a planting system the
pollen from the perfect flowers fer
tilizes the imperfect blossoms. When
the flowers are not properly %pollinated
the result is a large number Of nub.
bins or deformed berries.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
Inc three systems of growing straw
berries ere the hill system, the matted
row. and an intermediate between the
two, sometimes known as the hedge
row system In the hill system the
plants are set In hills, one plant in a
place, and no new plants are allowed
TO form. according to the United
States Department of Agriculture's
Farmers Bulletin, No. 664. This makes
a large. vigorous plant, producing
large, uniform berries which ripen
evenly. This Is the system that Is
followed In Florida. One reason why
the hill system is used in "a state
Is undoubtedly because it is necessary
to take advantage of as much sunlight
as possible in order to properly color
n mature the berries during the
short days of the ripening season.
The berries would be more shaded if
other systems were used, and with
the shor days and the large amount
of humidity in the air they would not
color well and many would rot on the
vines. The high cost of growing the
fruit in Florida and the heavy trans
portation charges to the northern mar
kets make it important to secure the
greatest possible percentage of large,
we'll ripened berries, and this can be
done under the hill system. The guam
tity of berries that cal be produced by
following this system Is not always SO
large as under the other systems, but
the quality is much better, and the
percentage of f1rst-class berries and
h prices received are higher than
under the other systems.
Matted Row System for Quantity.
In the matted row system the rum
ners are allowed to set plants 6 to 9
inches on either side of the row. II
the belt of plants is to be as wide as
is inches, the rows should be at least
3R feet apart, In order to allow room
for cultivation. A larger quantity Of
berries is grown under this system
than under any other, but the fruit is
usually smaller and does not ripen as
we'll. The percentage Of high class
fruit is lower in matted rows than
when the hill system is followed, but
the work of cultivation and thinning is
less than under any of the other sys-
TENS, and for that reason 1t is used
by most growers. Most Of the grow
ers who use this system allow their
