she told him she was a pretty good

In the intensity Of her absorption
in his questions and her own answers
TO them. she had never given thought
TO the bystanders. But now as they
fell back to give him room, she swept
glance across their faces. They all
wore smiles of sorts. There was some
thing amusing about this-something
out OF the regular routine. A little
knot of chorus girls halted in the act
of going out the wide doors, and stood
watching. Was ii just q hoax? The
suppressed, unnatural silence sounded
like il. But at what John Galbraith
did, one Of the bystanders gufrawed
outright.
1t wasn't pretty, the dance step he
executed-a sort of stiff-leGyed skip
accompanied by vulgar hip wriggle
and concluding with q straight-Out
sidewise kick. \ sick disgust clutched
at Rose as she watched-an utter re
vulsion from the whole loathly bUsi-
ness.

he finished. He wasn't smiling al all.

MAKE CROP FIT SOIL
IS EXPERTS ADVICE
Professor Burkett Lays Down
Some Principles of Much In.
terest to Soil TiIIer.

With such varying different soils as
we have in this great country of ours.
it is not strange that one Of the most
frequent questions is, "What kind of
soil is best for any particular cropI"
1t Is question that does not admit
Of direct answer, as soil variations are
| 50 minute-and so crisS-crossed, as 1t
were. as to make 1t quite impossible
| to know of the soils possibilities until
actual experiments have been made
with the particular plot and the par
ticular crop in question.
Prof. c. w. Burkett in a book on
Soils" lays down some general prin-
ciples that are of interest to the soil
tiller and will aid him in a decision
frequently, although it must be re-
membered that the principles are gen.
eral and must be accepted and fol-
lowed with intelligent care.
Professor Burkett says to bear the
following points in mind:
1. Sand areas, when properly re-en-
forced with humus, water and plant
food, are peculiarly adapted to all
kinds of truck crops.
2. Early truck crops are more safe
ly produced when a maximum Of sand
and q minimum quantity of clay pre-
vail.
3. General or late truck crops are
most safely produced when a sand
type carries the minimum Of the
coarser and the maximum Of the finer
sand grades.
4. Fruit-growing calls for considera-
BILE clay as part Of the sand type.
8. The best corn crops are produced
where neither sand nor clay predomi-
nates-the silt materials producing the
best results.
8. The general grain crops are best
suited where furnished a silt type of
soil.
z. Wheat Is most at home in soils
where silt and clay predominate.
8. Grass fancies most Of those soils
that carry a high percentage of clay.
o. Potatoes prefer a sand type
where medium sand prevails, where
silt Is present In q medium quantity,
and where clay Is present only in mod
crate quantities.
10. With these special types must
be included good tillage, humus. air.
moisture and plant food.
Such generalizations must be ac-
cepted not too literally, but they are
of large value as indicating the pos
sibilities Of the land owned by the In
dividual farmer and from which he
expects to win q livelihood II they
do nothing more than to suggest Ger
tain lines that offer the assurance OF
generous crops they will have served
an important purpose.
They perform another function OF
prime importance to the one In quest
of land on which to establish himself
In q rural home, In indicating whether
the acreage he contemplates buying
possesses the elements that harmonic

rtbuia 10 his success

infallible ear and sang squarely In
tune. But when she spoke il sounded
like someone who didn't know how,
trying to play the slide trombone. She
was simply deaf, it seemed, TO the
subtleties Of infection.
| Daily, she reduced Galbraith to help
less wrath. Evidently he didn't mean
to be brute about it. He began ev-
cry one of his tussles to improve her
reading Of a line with a gentleness
that would have done credit TO u kin
dergartener. But after three attempts,
each more ominously gentle than the
| last, his temper would suddenly fly all
| to pieces.
The girl, queerly. didn't seem to
care. But In the dressing room one
night, after one Of these rehearsals.
Rose got different view. AS she sat
down on a bench to unlace her shoes.
she looked straight into Edna Lar
sons face-a face sunken with a
despair that turned Rose cold. The

Rose delayed her dressing till the
other girls were gone, then sat down
beside Edna.
You're all right" she said, feeling
very inadequate. I'm going to help
you"
Its always like this" the girl said.
| Its no use. He'll put me back In the
chorus again"
mot If I can help it." Rose said.
But the first thing to do is to come
along and get something to eat"
During the next hour Rose learned.
for the first time, what the weight OF
an immense melancholy inertia can be.
The girl was like one paralyzed-
paralyzed by repeated failures and
disasters, of which she told Rose
freely. When Galbraith had put her
into the sextette, a hope, just about
dead, had been reawakened. Shed
learned to dance well enough to es-
cape censure. and she'd seen for her
self how indispensable her singing
voice was to the sextette. And then
it had appeared she'd have to talk
And her talking wasn't right.
Look here!" said Rose, when the
story was told. (This was across the
table In q dingy little lunch room.)
You're going to say your lines before
tomorrow's rehearsal % that Galbraith
won't stop you once We're going to
my room now. and rm going to teach
you. Come along"
In q sort Of daze, the girl went.
Rose put her into q chair, sat down
opposite her, took the first phrase Of
her first speech, and said 1t very slow

straight through the night, except that
two or three times the girl broke
down; said 1t was hopeless. She got
up once and said that she was going
home, whereupon Rose locked the door
and put the key n her stocking

something very different from a pranc-
ing chorus girl. The others giggled
and exchanged glances with Dave at
the piano. They didn't understand.
To them. the compliment seemed to
have been delivered with the left
hand. And somehow. an amused rec
ognition Of the fact that they didn't
understand. as well as Of the fact that
she did. flashed across from John
Galbraith's eyes to hers.
The impetus and direction Of Roses
career derived from two incidents
which might just as well not have
happened-two of the fiukiest Of small
chances.
The first OF these chances concerned
itself with Edna Larson and her bad
voice. 1t was bad voice only when
she talked. When she sang 1t had a
gorgeous. thrilling ring. and volume
enough for four. Besides, she had an

NOTHING is WASTED THERE
Hayti One Country Where Almost EV-
erything Is Utilized, Especially If
It Is Made of Wood or Tin.

Hayti is one country where almost
everything is utilized, particularly if
the substance be wood or tin. Lum-
Der is $50 per 1000, and any substi-
'tute for it is eagerly welcomed.
For instance, a partition fence be-
longing to some well-to-do people on a
prominent street is made of the tops,
bottoms and sides of packing boxes
that contained cans of condensed
milk two doors further ON is a fence
made Of old barrel slaves and packing
box strips for fencing is by no means
uncommon.
Tin cans, with the solder melted off
and the tops and bottoms removed, are
,flattened out and used as shingles, in
mending fences, patching holes aud
for numerous other purposes.
The f1ve-gallon Oil cans, however, are
priced and cherished family posses
sions. These cans have a regular mar
ket value of Is to 20 cents gold. 1t is
no unusual occurrence for woman to
buy fve-gallon can of kerosene, hoist
1t to her head and tramp all day ped
ding the oil in small quantities-at
cost, If she can do no better-just for
the sake of obtaining the tin.
j These receptacles are used for carry
ing water, boiling clothes and storing
and cooking food.
The tins in which five pounds of lard
come have a value of 10 cents gold,
and are standard measure, known To-
cally as mantle" They are used as
dry measure generally for corn,
beans, salt and the like.
Even the square tins in which
matches are shipped are sold at 8 to
10 cents each.-Kansas City Journal.
