BENEFITS OF SWEET
CLOVER FOR CATTLE
Unlike Alfalfa and Other Clovers

''Please, Mr.. Bangs, I've got a pres
ent for you, and l cleaned it and pol
ished it all up, and Sister Marie
laughed at me, because she said it was
hardly good enough for you, but she
put it in tissue paper, and tied that
pretty piece of ribbon around it, and
many happy returns of the day."
Breathless but ardent. spelling out

erently his great weather-beaten hands
touched the soft silky bit of ribbon
which the delicate fingers of Marie
Driscoll had adjusted.
'And how did you know it was my
birthday, Benny?" quizzed Joe.
"Sister remembered it," and Joe ex-
perienced a quick thrill of delight at
this manifestation of interest on the
part of the lovely idol he had always
worshiped at a distance.

''What may it be now, Benny?" ques-
toned Joe, balancing the concealed OBJ

weighed several pounds.
''It's a horseshoe, Mr.. Bangs" ex-
planned Benny. ''Sister found it in the
road. It's a whopper, too. Guess it
belonged to one of those big mill

price lists. The importance of this
collection to the German industries
cannot be overestimated. OF French
and English fabrics alone there are
100000 samples, while OF French and
German carpets there are 10000 specl-
mems. There is q museum of natural
history that is wonderful and valu-
able. IN one of the palaces is q col
lection of MajOlica vases that was
purchased in Venice in the eighteenth
century. The Wurtemburg Museum
of Antiquities contains every sort of
relic imaginable from royal cabinets
and armor to pack of cards painted
in the fifteenth century To see all
the objects in these museums and gal
leries would take lifetime and then
one would not have seen half.
Stuttgart is the center of network
of railroads. 1t is also the center Of
the boOkmaking and publishing indus
try of south Germany. 1t is noted for
it's excellent educational institutions,
and especially it's Conservatory of
Music, where many Americans have
received their musical education. 1t
has a technical high school that con-
fers the degree of doctor of engineer
ing, also veterinary high school, and
a school of art.
Home of Famous Men.
There are number of great men
who have lived in Stuttgart. Among
them are Hegel, the philosopher, who
was born in ITO; Dannecker, the
sculptor, also claimed 1t as his birth
place; the poet Schiller was educated
there, his father being the inspector
of the gardens of the Karlsruhe;
Gustav Schwab, the poet, lived there
and is buried in the Hoppenlau GEM
etery; and the tomb of Johann Reuch-
lin, the humanist, is in one of the
churches.
We can imagine the pride the Ger
mans have in this beautiful city,
which is q model for all municipali-
ties, and the CONSERVATION there must
have been when it was attacked by
airplanes. 1t seems an outrage to de-
stroy what is beautiful and valuable,
and when the Germans realize the
danger and perhaps loss of some OF
their own art treasures 1t is to be
hoped they will recognize the perfdy
of their own act in destroying the ca
thedrals of Louvain and Reims.

Before Mrs. T. Bone Rayer became

Determined to have the advantage
of being the assailant instead Of the
defender he attacked Charles furious
ly as soon as he discovered the Frank
ish army In position. His Berber horse
charged again and again, the front
line Frank battalions resisting stub
bornly and dying in their tracks. Night
fall found the two armies still with
ing in deadly grip; but the rest
brought by darkness was only brief. At
dawn the Saracens attacked again,
some squadrons of the Berbers hewing
their way into the very heart of the
Christian host. Then it was that greed
played its part In the undoing of what
had every promise of becoming another
Moslem triumph. Someone raised the
cry that detachment of the enemy
was plundering the camp wherein was
stored the rich booty taken from luck
less Tours and other victims of the Mo-
hammedan march.
Instantly large part of the Berber
horse whirled off to the rescue Of
It's goods. The infantry thought
them flying in defeat. Tumult reigned
and Abderrahman, striving to rally
his forces, was cut off by we'll
timed charge launched by Charles. 1t
is related that the number of spears
run through his body as he fell was not
less than a score.
With the death Of the emir the in
vaders became completely demoralized.
They rushed off the field holly pursued
by the victorious Franks, who butch
cred them by thousands as they fled.
The Turkish host was utterly dissi-
pated.
Charles Martel, his son and his
grandson, were left at leisure to con-
solidate and extend their power. Eu-
rope was a Christian country.

UNCLE NOSE LOST NO TIME
Although Old and Crippled With
rheumatism, He Could Travel
Some When Bear Appeared.

Some Georgia boys were going coon
hunting and stopped at the cabin OF
another colOred boy.
"Come long Sambo; we's gwine coon
huntin'."
"Ah CANT. All has to stay wild Uncle
Nose"
"Bring him long, niggah."
Uncle Nose was very old and Grip
pied with the rheumatism, but he was
finally persuaded to hobble along and
the party set off.
The dogs soon began barking furi-
ously at no great distance and all hur-
ried to the tree. Even Uncle Nose
seemed to regain something of his
youthful energy and hobbled along at
surprising rate.
The boys threw sticks and stones
into the tree and suddenly large ami
NAL sprang down among the dogs with
fierce growls and snarls.
The dogs scattered and ran. The
boys, scared out of their wits, yelled:
'Look out o. dat bea'," and never
stopped until completely out of
breath.
"Po' old Uncle Nose! Dat bea's suah
got him." said one.
"Suah, good ole man! But dar
amt no use gwine back" said another
one.

time," said third.
So they proceeded sadly to Sambo's
cabin; but what was their astonish-
ment when the door opened and Uncle
Nose himself stood before them. Some
of the more superstitious, believing it
to be his ghost, were inclined to run;
but old Uncle Nose quickly treasured
them by asking this question:
"Whe' you chilluns been all dis

Uncle Nose drew himself up with
