Mark Twain Anecdote.

In his autobiography, "A Quaker
Singers RecollectiOns." David BiSpham
tells of visiting Mark Twain at
"Stormfield" in 1909. where he took
part in an impromptu concert in which
Miss Clara Clemens assisted:
"We were introduced by Mark Twain
himself, clad in his distinctive suit of
white flannel, which served to set off
his magnificent head of snowy hair
and he was in great fettle. After a
little speech which convused his hear
ers he presented us who We're to make
music for his guests, saying shrewd
and complimentary things about us
men, and In conclusion: While Mr.
Gabrilowitsch and Mr.. Bispham are
much better known than my daughter
they are not near so good looking"

when statistics were not available,
Feb was thought to be a fair aver
age date for the breaking up of win.
ter. At the approach of cold weather
in the fall the grounding curls up asleep
at the bottom of its burrow. When
the midwinter thaw is supposed to be
at hand the grounding comes out. BY
a peculiar instinct the groundhog Is
supposed to be able to foretell the
weather for weeks ahead. At any
rate, according to the story. when his
sagacity tells him that an early break
up is al hand, he stays out. When a
storm threatens he pops into his hole
again and goes to sleep for six weeks.

HANNAH
MANAGES
By DORA NOLAN

t& 1880. by Mcclure Newspaper syndica.e.)
The good fairy who was among
those present at the birth of Hannah
Hampstead brought most excellent
and valuable gift; but being gener
ous fairy and fearful of stinting, per-
haps she brought bit too much Of it
For as an overdose Of some drugs
causes an effect opposite to tho one
sought, so Hannahs extraordinary or
derliness of nature brought her more
enemies than friends.
Hannah never hid the light Of her
gift under bushel. She didn't stop
with putting In meticulous order all
her inanimate surroundings, but ven
tured boldly into the perilous enter
prise Of Strengthening out the affairs
of the humans of her community
whenever she decided that they needed
it. She never went out Of doors that
she didn't Itch to set upright every
crooked tree.
There was one person in the regula-
hon of whose life Hannah had a per-
feet score. The days Of her younger
sister had been ordered in strict ac-
cord to the seniors ideas. Perhaps
though, she had taken an unfair ad-
vantage, for there were eighteen years
to her credit when Harmonic was born
and to Hannah alone was left the task
Of bringing up the baby sister.
An August sun beat down upon four
cords Of wood stacked neatly at the
side Of the Hampstead barn. 1t was
sight to delight the eye of almost
any householder; but to Hannah
Hampstead 1t meant an unsolved prob
lem thrust upon her by the hand of
death. Jed Henry shouldn't have been
allowed to depart this life until he
had carried out his yearly contract,
driven his portable power saw into the
Hampstead yard and reduced that
four-foot wood into convenient stove
lengths AT this point Hannah, gaz-
ing out at the wood from the cool
shelter OF the kitchen, suddenly real
ized that her thoughts were verging

had said something on that subject.
1.-THE new ministerl" Hannah spoke
the words aloud.
Harmonic. who had entered the
house unnoticed by the elder sister,
paused in the doorway. Well she
knew what Hannah's present facial ex-
preston portended.
Whose affairs are to be straight
ened out now7" No one but Harmonic
would have dared to take like liberty
with Hannah.
"Our own" was the terse answer.
Then the elder woman hustled into the
dining room. "We'll clean the solid
silver this afternoon" she announced.
Heavens. Why do anything un-
necessary this weather. But five
minutes later Harmonie's curly blonde
head and friendly blue eyes were bent
over the silver. She offered no further
remonstrance.
Three days later Hannah told Har-
monte she had invited the new minis

on her that Hannah was deliberately

Of strenuous exercise, of the scarcity
Of labor in the community: of the lat
est fad among outdoors rich men for
chOppinR woodland of the Hempstead
woodpile The Reverend Mr. Dunston
seemed to fairly jump at the bait. And
Harmonic, disgusted that Hannah
should show so little proper pride, re-
solved right then and there to tighten
his labors us much as she possibly
could.
The neighbos shifted, Hannah beam.
ed and Harmonic helped stack up the
stove lengths. The Rev. Mr.. Dunston
seemed to enjoy both the exercise and
the companionshp of the younger
Hampstead sister; also the apple pie
or fragrant spice cake which Hannah
usually produced. Harmonic was not
the type of girl to whom an older man

she grew TO like Mr.. DunSton more and

took root in her mind that it was Han

thing. The thought turned her square.
ly against the minister; for Harmonic
had long ago resolved that when it
came to the one really Important event
of her life, Sister Hannah for once
should have nothing whatever to say
about it.
Harmonic was in this frame of mind
when Hannah one day informed her
that the Rev Mr. Dunston had asked
If he might see her privately. From
several things he has said she volun-
teered, 81 have every reason to believe
he means to propose to me-
Harmonic stared at her sister in

ed all criticism. He's tired of board-
ing and he won't hear of putting the
old minister out of the parsonage. He
likes my cooking and we need man

raQSement all around"
Without a word Harmonic walked
out of the house and around behind
the woodpile. There. in the shade and
out of sight she began to reconstruct
her world. Mr.. DunSton WAS just ii
Just t1irt, then; for certainly he had
given her to understand that he-well
that he liked her. Hannah WAS design

In the sudden reaction from woe to

HAVE YOUR SEEDS TESTED
BEFORE YOU PLANT THEN

1t is the dealers business to label all
seeds as to purity, termination and
presence of noxious weeds. A very gen
eral statement as to seed quality.
1t is the farmers business before he
buys seeds to check that label, to find
cut definitely how much pure live seed
how much inert matter, consisting Of
dead seed, broken seed, dirt sticks,
stones and similar materials, and how
much and what weed seeds the seed he
Is buying contains.
The seed laboratory is equipped and
ready to report on seeds submitted, and
in very short time. Such test will
not only enable the farmer to be sure
that he is not paying for weed seed,
planting it, cultivating it and harvest
ing it, but will also enable him to de-
eide how much seed he shall plant per
acre. For example, if his seed alfalfa
is 98 per cent pure, termination 10 per
cent he has 1875 per cent of live seel
alfalfa and would need to SOW l76
Per cent more than if he had 9S per
cent termination (93.1 per cent live
seed)
Not all weeds are equally undesirable
in fields, hence a detailed purity test
showing the various weeds in sample
will enable the farmer to decide wheth-
I. &c ,lan h.. l.,
his sample contains or whether he Will
look farther for clover seed. Clean
seed is always obtainable, usually at II
somewhat higher price. The decision
must be made on an accurate and d.
tailed test of the seed under considera-
tion.
Clean seed will not always grow
hence it is necessary to have seed test
ed for termination also. The seed lab
oratory is equipped to give each kind
of seed its optimum terminating con-
dition and therefore to get the highest
termination per cent. 1t is not likely
that under field conditions - lazn, Z
per cent of seeds will germinate as the
laboratory reports. The more nearly
ideal conditions Of temperature, mois.
ture and soil Gu ing the first few days
after planting, the more nearly the lab.
oratory results Will be approximate.
In view of the new warranty clause
used by seed dealers it is necessary
that seed testing for the farmer h,
done before purchasing if possible, GER
tainly before planting.-Anna M. Lutte
