frosts will not iniure them. AS the
cold weather comes on, cover the
sasnes, but on bright, sunshiny days
uncover and give them plenty Of air.
OF course in very severe weather
they must be thoroughly protected
against freezing. If they are proper
ly cultivated they will bloom in q
month or six weeks.
While carnation growing is not par
ticularly difficult, the plants must be
attended to with great regularity.
They are rich feeders and therefore
must have very rich soil, plenty Of
water and all the air and sun they
can get at the last in order to bring
them forward quickly.

MATT" AFTER MANY YEARS.
Satisfied That Rich Ledge Of Gold still
Remained In Abandoned Nine He
Blded His Time and Struck
II Rich at Last.

Romance still olings to the gold min
ing OF tho West.
Even today there are fortunes made
all of q sudden, dreams realized, hearts
broken from hopes destroyed; tragedy
and comedy alternating in the dreams
which has gold for It's title.
The other day for instance, Hobo
Matt" Kelly struck It rich in the Old
Bodie mine And somewhere In Cal
ifornia the long.neglected wife OF "Ho-
DO Matt will receive a fat check soon
in evidence Of the fact.
The ghost of a mine and the ghost
OF a man. The only two things "Ho'
bo Matt" believed 10 have remained
true 20 his faith-his wife and the
gold ledge Of the Beehive days, lie
has won a lifetime's gamble He Will
have 100000 in good, clean gold De-
fore his work is done.
Hobo Matt" is known in all the
mining camps Of the West. When
"Old Brun' Kelly his uncle was Win
ming his fame upon the Comstock and
as superintendent OF the Bodie mine
Matt was his trusted messenger. He
became a miner. When The Beehive
was turning out its millions Matt was
there. lie knew every inch OF those
honeycombs Of wealth.
He gambled in Bodie stocks and
won. lie spent his money as easily
as he made It. He had married, but
even his wifes love could not hold
him from the mad delights Of those
feyerish bonanza days.
Then Matt became Hobo Matt
With his blanket on his back he be.
came wanderer. In the back of his
mind was the constant thought OF an
undiscovered ledge Of gold in the
Bodie, which he meant TO have one
day. Even in his cups he never dis.
closed his secret, biding his time.
Last fall Matt decided that the time
had come tc go back to BOdie. He
found the place once held 10000 busy
men changed into a dreary, sleepy vii
lage Of 200 inhabitants. The Old Re-
liable was silent, the Standard com
pany had dissolved, and ]. S. Cain,
mining broker, had gathered in the
old Bodie properties.
When Hobo Matt" appeared in
camp and asked for the lease on the
old mine ne was laughed at No one
had any faith in the old wanderer
Cain turned him down.
He went to a man who had known
him in his better days-Lester Bell
and told him the secret, Offering to
share with him if Bell could get the
lease.
Bell did not have much faith, but
he agreed to try in a few days. Cain
gave the lease to Bell. The com
panys engineers had gone again into
the mhe and pronounced it worth
less.
Then Hobo Matt" became young
again. The years dropped away from
him as he shouldered his pick and
shovel and went to work in the we'll
remembered ledges A drift was start
ed, and after a sleep Of 40 years a
ledge rich in true colors, deep in ex.
tent, was uncovered
Hobo Mats" dream came true by
the light of a candle in an old mans
hand, far down under the surface Of
the white earth

COULD YOU STAND THE TEST7
War Correspondent Makes Comparison
Of American Citizens With the
Soldiers Of Europe.

Gentle reader, queries Robert r. Nc.
Cormick in the Century, If you are a
young man of military age, do you feel
that you could stand in your place in
squad trench and do your duty as
muzhiks and other peasants of mon
archical Europe have frequently done?
My own opinion of you is that you
could not and my opinion has the
strength of conviction, do not care
whether you are a clerk or college
professor, lawyer or laborer.
Suppose you we're advancing in open
order of attack, and had reached a
point where, with your captain killed,
your platoon commander wounded.

Peanut Oil

The government has out a new
bulletin about peanuts as rather
new and scarce article in this
country, although its manufac-
ture will, no doubt, soon be
developed.
Peanut salad oil sounds as if it
would taste good, and this bulle-
tin says it is good. The first ex-
traction of oil is perfectly clear
and has a delightfully."- nutty
flavor.
Our country has been import
inc over a million gallons a year.
and one-half of this imported oil
came through Chicago.
The bulletin recommends the
Spanish peanut as being a high
standard nut to raise for oil, as
it contains 81 per cent oil.
Three extractions are made
from the peanuts. The first and
finest grade is made from cold,
ground peanuts, which gives a
clear, palatabIe oil-just as the
finest olive oil comes from the
first pressing Of the olives. The
second extraction is made by
grinding the peanuts and heat
ing them. THIS oil must be re-
fined before using. Much of this
oil goes into the making of mar
gtrlle. Tie thlrd extraction goes
into soap.
Cottonseed oil is widely used
for salads, but, no doubt, is in
ferior to the peanut oil. AS all
vegetable oils are wholesome and
nourishing, they should be used
literally on fruit and vegetable
salads.
