Battle Of Oorkjno.

The battle of Dorking was an imagi.
nary battle. In 1871, at the close of
the Franco-Prussian war, Englishmen
were reminded by the quick work done
by Germany over France Of the possi-
bilities Of invasion, and Sir George T.
Chesny wrote an interesting and in
structive narrative called "The Battle
of Dorking, or the "Reminiscences Of a
Volunteer" in which he depicted the
imaginary scene of great battle on
English soil, which was won by the
Germans. In short, the battle was the
product of a military mans imagina-
tion, but it was so well worked out
and so vividly described that as long
as the German armies were in France
the mention Of the battle Of Dorking
was enough to make an Englishman
Shudder.

BOYS and Girls.

The difference is apparent early. A
boy has as much fun in stoning cat
as girl has in hunting for violets
A boys curiosity is directed to the ice
box; girl would like to see what is in
the top bureau drawer.
A girl can give the impression when
away from home that her parents are
wealthy; boy cannot.
A girl is never so young that she will
reveal to guests at party that the
spoons are borrowed; boy child never
grows so old that he fails to.
Give boy dollar, and he will eat
it; give his sister one, and she will
wear it.
When brothers fight it is over the
larger share Of pie. When sisters quar-.
rel one has worn something belonging
to the other without asking permis'
sion.-Youth's Companion.

Glover Pavs In Rotation.

Have you planned to seed more land
to clover this spring? The crop pays by
making the land more fertile, besides
yielding a good hay crop. For seven
teen years at the Ohio experiment sta
ton corn on unfertilized land yielded
SO bushels more to the acre in a three
year rotation of corn. wheat and clover
than in five year rotation Of corn,
oats. wheat. clover and timothy. On
manured land in the three year rota-
ton during this time corn yielded S.4
bushels more to the acre than in the
five year rotation, even though more
manure was applied in the latter rota-
ton. The experiment station credits
this increased yield Of corn largely to
the clover crop because 1t comes once
in three instead of once in five years.

A Woman Did Il.

A lesson to landlords is this. A wo-
man did it. She wanted the house pa
pered. The landlord talked about the
paper shortage and took his rent and
went.
The next month when he called he
found the house beautifully papered.
He was pleased and said so. The wo-
man smiled. She walked to the wall
and moved picture aside. Beneath
the picture was a grimy square Of the
old paper. The woman had papered
around every picture in the house. AS
she paid the months rent she gave no.
tice that she would move the next
month.-Philadelphia North American.

MARKO'S DILEMMA.
An Old Servian Legend Of q Prophecy

In an old Servian ballad called MAR
kos Judgment there is recited this
prophecy: Kral (King) Vukashine, Mar
kos father, whose chief fortified city
was Prilep, speaks first: "Son Marko.
may God slay thee! Thou shalt have
neither monument nor posterity. and
ere thy spirit leaves thy body the
Turkish sultan thou shalt serve"
Then speaks the car, Stephen Dushan:
Friend Marko. may God help thee!
Bright be thy face In the senate, sharp
thy sword in battle. Never shall hero
surpass thee. And thy name shall be
remembered SO long as sun and moon
endure"
And here, according to peasant folk
lore, is how that prophecy was fulfill
ed: Upon the death of Vukashine. La
Ear Hreblianovitch, Count Of Sirmium,
was elected czar. Bitterly disappoint-
ed at the failure Of his own candidacy,
Marko threatened the life Of Lazar and
was forthwith deprived Of his fief. Pen
niless and disheartened, Marko turned
to the court Of the hated sultan and
enlisted in his army to fight the Mos

membered that it was no disgrace for q
Servian to fight with the Turks pro-
vided the opposing forces were other
Turks, for Turk less, in whatever
cause slain, was a blessing In the eyes
of the Servians.)
In time, however, Marko's command
was brought west to wage war against
the orthodox prince Of the Roumans.
Loyal to his Mohammedan sovereign,
when he came upon the field of battle,
Marko's heart failed him when he saw
the men Of his own faith drawn up
against him, and, facing the dilemma
of choosing between proving traitor to
his chief or lifting his sword against
those of his own faith, he cried out,

A Good Milk Goat.

The popularity of milk goats in the
west has led the California experiment
station to conduct an official test Of
their milk producing capacities. A two
year-old pure Toggenburg produced in
one year 2.15S pounds of milk and 72.S
pounds Of butter fat. This is about one
sixth the production Of first class
cow and is more than twice as much
as an ordinary milk goat gives. The
rost Of feed per pound of milk was
about nine-tenths that of dairy cows in

There are men and women who

clare that they have been sewing
shirts for soldiers and collecting pen
MES for poilus for long time. They
feel that in order to continue to carry
on their work properly they should
see war waged at first hand, so that
they can describe it at home, you
know.
Gas Safe as Chicago"
We'll, we have several different
places where we take these parties.
We conduct our sight-seers out to a
railhead behind the lines and whirl
them furiously for 80 or 40 miles in
army motor cars. Then we stop some
where among a lot of old trenches, in
a spot about as safe as Chicago.
There are always plenty of troops be-
hind the lines all along the front, so
that these old trenches never appear
quite deserted.
1.-The next act is to hand out gas
masks to the ladies and gentlemen,
although the former usually refuse to
put them on because it disarranges
their hair, and we have to promise to
warn them when a gas attack is sig
nailed. We also hand them all steel
helmets to put on Sin case shells

"Then we walk them awhile and
finally lead then into a trench, MAX
ing them keep down below the para
pet all the time, so that the German
snipers won't see them and pick them
of. Once in while we hand them
binoculars and ask them if they don't
see the gray-cludboches way over
there. They usually answer that
they do.

Read of Clearfeld, Pa. Read, it ap-
pears, sustained fatal injuries while
being tossed in a blanket during his
initiation into the side degree of the
Golden Eagle lodge. The order and
members of the Read family were un-
able to come to an agreement.
Read was 10 years of age, six feet
tall and weighed $50 pounds. He was
of powerful build and for that reason
the Buzzards planned to give him an
exciting evening. A physician was
summoned the instant the lodge men
noticed that the young man was suf-
fering pain but he died within "a
hours. The parents insisted they
were partially dependent on the
young man for support and for that
reason were entitled to damages.
