Whittier's Pet Dog Had Reasons fol

ina of "Robin Adair."

An old lady who was a friend OF
the poet Whittier tells the following
story:
At one time. when his birthday was
being publicly celebrated, he had a.
a guest Mrs. Julia Houston West
then the most celebrated oratorio
singer in America. After the dinner
Whittier asked her to sing. She chose
for her selection the ballad "RObin
Adair," which she sang with great
pathos and feeling. Hardly had she
begun the song when .Whittier's pet
dog came into the room, walked over
close to her side and stared up at hel
with every expression of delight,
When she had finished, he lifted his
paw to shake hands, and then. leap
ing up, he licked her cheek.
His name is also Robin Adair,
explained Mr.. Whittier, $50 he takes
that song as a tribute to himself"
And very evidently he did. From
that moment he devoted himself to
Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side,
indoors or out, during her visit; and
when she went away he carried hel
travelling bag in his mouth as far as
the carriage. and showed his sorrow
over her departure in every way that
q dog could.-Youth's Companion.

Terracing is the most effective meth
cd of preventing erosion. There are
two distinct types Of terraces-the
bench terrace and the ridge terrace.
A field Of bench terraces resembles q
series Of benches or flight of steps.
Ridge terraces as the name implies,
are simply ridges of earth thrown up
across the slopes Of hillsides.
OF the two types the bench terrace
is much the older. The ridge terrace
has come into general use only during
the last 25 years. Bench terraces for
agricultural purposes were used by
the ancients of Europe, Asia and South
America. The ancient Peruvians> In
South America terraced the steep
slopes Of mountains, the walls of the
terrace entertainments being built OF
stone.

rod, eyes intent on the delicious wrig-
gly worm she was skillfully guiding
down the "riftle," the fisher girl did
not see the man who stopped mo-
ment on the road above and then
passed along out of sight.
On the opposite bank of the brook
stood a large tree, whose low-hung
branches just cleared backwater.
The slender rod whipped, and by a
clever cast the girl placed the lure
temptingly in the shadowy spot. A
sudden jerk on the liQe, and it started
off down stream! Quickly the girl
yielded the slack she held in her left
hand, and the reel hummed.
Then a tense moment, as she care
fully snubbed the line and held it ten
tatively taut. With sudden slight
movement of her rod she started to
reel in. At this moment small urchin
appeared on the bridge above and
stopped to watch. Carefully the girl
played her fish. AS the line shortened
there came q splash and the flash Of
a mighty tail.
'Gee, but that must be whopper J"
sang out the small boy excitedly. But
the girl was thinking hard. Not ex-
pecting anything like this, she had
neglected to bring a landing net.
The strain on the delicate rod was
increasing. 1t bent nearly double. She
did the only thing she could think Of
in the EMERGENCY: walk backward and
literally dragged her catch up the
shelving shore. Fortunately he was
well hooked, and her gear was of the
best.
"Oh, gollyr' exclaimed a voice close
beside; "but amt he the pippin !"
The girl looked into the freckled
face Of the small boy. But she was
too intent on her task to answer.
With unwinking eyes the urchin
watched her as she vainly tried to ex-
tract the hook, and finally ended by
borrowing his knife and cutting the
line. With flushed faces the girl and
the small boy, in the freemasOnry of
Sportsland, examined, admired and
exclaimed over the speckled beauty.
Gee! Bet It's big as the one old Pea

now and tell him about it." And the

Method Of Carrying Terrace Water Un.

eliminate the steep, uncultivated
strips that interfere with farming op-
erations and often are seed beds for
weeds.
The bench terrace is usually built
with the reversible hillside plow by
which the soil is always thrown down
the hill. This is done for a number
Of years until the bench becomes level
or the slope of the bench is slightly
reversed. A ridge Of earth is kept at
the outer edge of the bench to prevent
the surface water from running from
one bench to the next bench below.
Bench terraces should be level; that
Is. they should have no fall along the
direction of their length. Before the
bench between the terrat e embank-
ments is made level by plowing the
soil down the slope the surface wa
ter is held above the shoulder at
the outer side of the bench. Part of
the water may move off slowly to the
ends of the terrace and the rest will
either sink into the soil or >evaporate.
A heavy sod should be kept on the
shoulder and embankment to prevent
erosion should the shoulder be over
topped due to heavy rain.
When a bench terrace is ilrst start
ed, the shoulder should be built about
one foot high and three feet wide at
the base. These dimensions can be re-
duced some as the leveling down of the
bench proceeds. When the bench has
become level 1t. is only necessary to
maintain a small shoulder about one"
half foot high ut the outer side of the
bench. This will prevent possible
damage to the terrace due to an excess
sively heavy rain.
The distance between the terraces Is
governed by the vertical distance or
drop and not by the distance along tho
surface of the ground. The distance
along the surface of the ground Will
be different for different slopes of the
land where the same vertical distance
between the terraces is used.
The proper drop or vertical distance
between bench terraces depeLds large
" on how much care and attention Is
given to the terraces, the greater the
drop the more care required. The
greater the drop the higher will be tho
embankment, and 1t is much more dim
cult to maintain a high than low en-
bankment. The best practice indi-
Gates that the drop between bench ter
races should never be less than three
feet nor more than six feet, although
q drop Of eight feet has been used
successfully on steep slopes where the
terraces are carefully maintained.

again on the run. The man quickened
his pace, but when he reached the
pool no fair angler was in sight.
That evening, seated in the lounge
of his club, the sportsman was re-
lating the incident to several COM
panions, who received it with the GUS
tomary skepticismA One Of them
laughed. 'You didn't fall for that
kids yarn, did you, Hammond? fou
know the small boys power Of exag-
geration."
"Well, it's an accepted fact around
here that some unusually big trout for
this part Of the country have been
taken from the Pebbly brook pool ;
and I've always put lot of faith In
it." Hammond spoke rather louder
than his wont.
A young chap stood in the doorway.
At HammOnd's words he came for
ward. II don't know how you heard
about it, for when I came away she
was lamenting that she had had no
one to talk it over with. but that must
be the very trout my sister caught to-
day. It weighs just an even two
pounds to the hair. don't know much
about fishing, and care less, but Anne
is bugs over it."
The group turned to him interested.
~, and Hammond asked him several
questions, but the boy seemed rather
bored by them, and gave very unsatis-
factory answers. I'D give good deal
to see that fish," exclaimed Hammond
The boy frightened considerably.
"Say, I'll call Anne up and introduce
you over the phone. and you can 60
right down. She'll be tickled to pieces
to ind one who's interested-and
then1 won't have to 60 home at 10, aa
I promised her."
':In take you up on that" replied
Hammond.
When Billy Crane did return that
evening it was considerably after 10.
but Trask Hammond and Billy's sister
were still poring over catalogues. try
ing to decide the best place to send
the trophy to be mounted. They had
already made date to fish Pebbly
brook together the next day, and over
hauled Anne's tackle and got it in
readiness for the trip, managing to be-
come very well acquainted in the
process.
It was q month later. one evening at
sundown, when Anne stood again on
the bank of the Pebbly brook pool,
casting her bait under the low-hang-
ing branches of the big tree opposite,
and remarked to the man who was
standing close by watching her: Its
foolish to try, know probably shall
never land two-pounder out of here
again. That was my lucky day."
The man spoke slowly, while the
brown swirling waters laughed down
over the stones: 'That has been the
luckiest day in my life, so far. But
you can make today the very luckiest
ever If you wish."

closely for a moment; then said, arch
