Isn't he the stingy guy?"

Isn't he the Stingy guy?"
 The girls sniff was pronounced as she indicated to her companion. June Harris, young man who had just passed them The girls were pouring out of a large department store at the closing time, and June looked after the man, and then at the speaker ques- tioningly.
 "Why do you thiul so?" she asked.
 'Think sol" exclaimed the other, ''why Bert HedStom is the talk of the store! They call him the tin bank, because<you can't even extract cop pep.'
 Maybe you don't know he has a mother to support, and he thinks the coppers belong to her." said June.
 "Oh, yes, you always did stick up for him. An I guess he's some gone on you. But just you wait til' you're married, an he asks you whs, you did with that fifteen cents he goye you last month."
 ''i'm not talking of getting married and I don't suppose he's thinking of it either"
 "No, he thinks too much of his money. You just ought to have seen that new girls face yesterday. He walked along with her when she went out, and of course she thought he was going to take her in for a soda. But nary treat on little Bertie. He just tipped his hat, and left her at the cor ner."
 Maybe he didn't care especially for her company"
 "Well, say now, he's walked home with you few times. Did he ever treat?"
 June had to confess he had not.
 "An' he's getting in the office more than any of these chaps on the fioor," the girl persisted. "Oh, he's just a skin !'
 June changed the subject. She had begun to care for HedstrOm. He had called at her home and her mother had thought well of him. But a stingy man was especially abhorrent to her. Her mothers life had been made unhappy by the parsimOny of June's father, and before his death his savings had been lost in bad invest

ment. If these things were true of Bert Hedstrom it was an unsurmount- able barrier between them.
 June was an attractive girl with fine eyes and masses of shining brown hair; and it was not long before the new fioorwalker began to find ire quent excuses for speaking to her. One evening he invited her to the theater, and the next day she was the envy of every girl at her counter to say noth- ing of Miss Clay, the buyer.
 Say June, did you have two-dollar seatsF" asked her chum.
 "Of course. And supper afterwards at cafe"
 'sWeil, that's going some!" put in the girl on the other side. Did your mother see him?'
 Certainly. l never go anywhere with a new acquaintance without mother first meeting him.
 Gee! I Go!" laughe the girl. "Mother don't care"
 "Well I'd care if she didn't" said June
 The girl stared uncomprehendingly. June Harris had been trained in an- other social school. She had never stances, but refinement and good breeding had been her birthright Still she was young, and the taste of gay life of the night before was a de- light which she lived over again all day, and longed to have again.
 Much as she had cared for He'd strem, it was nevertheless true that his stock had gone considerably below par in comparison with the flashing and liberal escort who had given her such a delightful evening.
 Bert was not long in noticing the at tentions of the fioorwalker; but he did not mean to give up the girl he had begun to love till he was sure his case was hopeless. He called to see Jupe, and was entertained with glow ing accounts of the play to which she had been taken by his rival. June seemed to make a point of letting him See her preference for the other man, and Bert being sensitive as well as very modest, concluded his visits were not desired.
 Gardner continued to invite June to various places of amusement; and June, simply aware that she was hay ing some very good times, and enjoy ing them immensely, accepted his at- tentions, not thinking where it might lead.
 One day as she took something from Annie, the little parcel girl, she no-

He was sadly ill-used son of na- ture, and the heart of the housewife went out to him as she surveyed his grimy countenance and his tattered clothing.
 "Yes, poor fellow?" she asked.
 "Please, kind woman, the doctor as just give me this bottle of medicine, but I want something to take it with"
 "Oh, yes, I see," replied the moth- erly soul. You want spoon and a glass of water"
 'Thank you, mum, no. I can get on quite all right without them. But the directions on the bottle are that it's to be taken after meals. 'Aven't got meal you could spare, lave you?"

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT
 AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in rundown condition. The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al most every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root which soon heals and strengthens the kidneys is splendid kidney, liver and bladder rem edy, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use it.
 A trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Better get bottle from your nearest drug store, and start treat ment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv.

It has long been automatic that the American wife felicitates herself on her superiority to her husband, though she refrains from telling him so. On man has ever been accused of sacri- ficing his wife on the altar of his own absorption in money-making, and of salving the wounds due to his neglect with the ointment of unlimited credit.

 Mother" sobbed the child. "they didn't know this morning whether she'd last out the day, an I daresent stay home cause I'd lose my job an 1 ast MT. Gardner riff I couldn't leave off at five an-an. :" Here the words broke off in sob.
 And wouldn't he let you?" quickly asked J,!ne.
 "No. fIe said he was tired of hear ing about sick mothers. 1 said 1 was telling him the truth, an he could phone the doctor Then he said ht hadn't any time for doin' detective work an if 1 wanted to be docket half a day 1 could go. I told him had to have the money to buy medi cine an things fer mother. Then he got awful mad, an said if I didn't want to be fined I'd better stop talkin back
 "Tll speak to him." said June.
 "No, no, please! I'd get fired ther sure if he thought I told you. He's just awful when he gets started. He'G find some way of dockin' or finin' me like he did last week when that ter cents stuck in the slot, an 1 didn't see it."
 Filled with sympathy for the child June went home with her that evening to see what she could do. ''That's my house." and she point ed to one of row of cheap flats in a noisy street.
 "Why, isn't that Mir. Hedstrom go ing in?" exclaimed June. He doesn't live there, does hep

 "So you have known Mir. Hedstron q good while?'
 70 no, he just was sorry, same's you are. Bout three weeks ago, when mother first got sick was some scared an 1 was cryin', an somehow 1 run against him as l was comin' out of the store. an he stopped me an wanted tc know what was the matter, an then are. an he's been helpin' an doin things ever sence."
 June made no reply, but she was thinking hard. This was the man they had called stingy, because instead of spending money to buy popularity and gratify himself, he was helping fel- low creature over the thorny way with quiet self-sacrifice and generous use of his means.
 They found him bending over the thin little form on the bed, the drawn face looking at him with pathetic smile. He started slightly as June en- tered, bowed to her, and turned to the child
 She's better, Annie" he said kindly
 The pent-up feelings of the girl gave vent in burst of sobs.
 There, there you mustn't do that Itp SdIu pdltluS Her SnOulueE. 1OU must keep her very quiet Good night And with another bow to June he was gone.
 June stayed till visiting nurse came and went home still thinking.
 The dashing figure of Gardner seemed quite effaced by kind of halo that shone about the head of quiet man with kind eyes. She had throwr away a pearl of great price to pick IT an imitation diamond. whose glitter was now quite gone, and the realiZa ton of her folly made her supremely miserable.
 The next day she met Hedstrom out side the store. She had waited fol him.
 'Why don't you come any more t6 see us?" she asked

 But I do!' she broke in
 He drew her hand within his arm and they went on together.

 ment of Agriculture.)
 The growing of sudan grass in the South should be materially increased as the result of the development during the past year of a good supply of pure seed which can be purchased at req sonable prices. The dependable seed supply was produced as the result of the spread of the culture of the plant for seed north of the region where Johnson grass is abundant. Much of the sudan grass seed available in for mer years was contaminated by the seed of Johnson grass owing to the culture of the two plants in the same area. The bureau of plant industry has encouraged the production of seed where It will be free from contamina- tion, and has found that as a result of the cheapening of the supply the grow ing of the grass for hay has already in creased in many sections.
 Furnishes Hay Supply.
 The culture of Natal grass, which was introduced by the department 25 years ago, is increasing markedly in Florida. It promises to produce all the hay required in the state and probably will furnish a surplus for use outside the commonwealth. Culture of the plant has been urged in a conservative way by the department since it's intro- duction, but it is only within the past few years that this grass has made the progress its high merit deserves.
 The bureau of plant industry has prosecuted as vigorously as possible during the past year the introduction and breeding of drought-resistant strains of alfalfa. An especially prom ising new strain has been secured from India, which seems to be well adapted for use in the Southwest Inyestiga- tions to determine the cause of "yel- lowing of alfalfa and to develop a practical treatment for this trouble. which is serious handicap to the culture of the crop in many parts of the East, indicate that the stage of ma turity at which the crop is cut has much to do with the degree to which the succeeding crop is affected.
 The polination studies of red clover carried on by the bureau in co-opera- tion with the experiment stations in Iowa and Indiana show that cross-pol- lination is absolutely essential to the setting of the seed of this plant; that honeybees are very important as pol- linators; and that all the mechanical methods of pollination that have been suggested and tested are of no prac- tical value.
