As the Boy Explained II, the Finding
Of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter,

Speaking of the development ii the
storytelling talent in youth, Richard
Bennett, the actor. is fond of relating
this incident:
Some years ago a prominent citizen
of a town lost a horse. Ii was mos

prominent citizen wanted the horse
So he advertised. offering S. reward
for its return. The town half-wit, a
boy of nineteen, with a harelip. came

The thing of living ia the country is
great
First, all you need is place to live
in; and then horse and cow and
some pigs and chickens.
Then, all you need is some feed for
horse and COW and pigs and chickens,
and a strong man
But that's next: strong man to
feed them.
Then you need to read all the farm
er books and government bulletins,
and learn just how things should be
done.
Then you need the nerve to go and
tell your man how to do everything,
and the courage to watch him do II
another way and ignore your instrue-
tons.
After that all you need Is the
gail TO pretend that. you did It, when
O bean comes up the way It was in

KINDNESS CARRIED TOO FAR
Affection UnwiseIy Bestowed Has
Given Birth to Saying That
Has Become Famous.

Kindness brought to the point of
embarrassment or even harm leads us
to. say that the recipient has been
5"killed by kindness"
This phrase has been variOusly ex-
planned. One authority brings its
origin back 10 the days before Christ.
Ancient history tells us Of the death
of Draco, the great Grecian legislator,
and his ancient code of laws" He
died in 500 B. c. in this extraordinary
manner:
Draco made an address in one of the
great theaters in his native city. He
was so beloved by his people and they
were so eager to give him tangible
demonstration of their devotion that
they took their cloaks and other gar
ments from their own shoulders and
threw them on him as gifts.
The trouble was that in their wild
enthusiasm they aimed SO well that
poor Draco finally succumbed under
the weight and when the mountain of
clothing was removed from him 1t was
found that the old gentleman had
breathed his last.
According to one authority. however
killed by kindness" is phrase used
because of the fact that certain mother
apes are so fond of their young thai
they clutch them so tightly as tc
smother them to death against theil
bodies.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. Tie mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest Tor
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one OF the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble Is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
1ions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles OF two sizes,
medium and large.

ADVANTAGES OF RED CLOVER

Red clover is the first crop to grow

it is rich in lime and all the other ele-
ments OF plant food. Such soil always
is deficient i'll humus. Clover sup
plies both humus and nitrogen, SO that
after growing clover for two or three
years, those volcanic ash soils will pro-
duce immense crops OF cereals. In
the meantime the clover supplies con-
siderable pasture and large crop OF
excellent seed Seed grown under
irrigation in dry atmosphere usually
has strong terminating qualities 1t
should command premium iii the
seed market.
The valleys OF the mountains where
great deal of clover is grown for
seed lie at attitudes of from 5000 to
5000 ieet. Late frosts in the spring
and early frosts in fall shorten the
season SO that it is hardly possible to
cut full crop of red clover hay and
then to obtain a good crop OF seed
from the second cutting. 1t works
best to pasture the first year clover
in the fall and again in spring until
about the first or middle OF June then
run over the field with moving ma
chine to clip the more forward plants

new in mountain valleys that have not
produced clover, but they came al
