But no more shall she weep. The
doctor said she must have rest, good
food. change Of air, or she will die.
So took the money and bought a
share In lottery ticket, and see what
fortune is mine! Fifty thousand
francs"
The little man rushed about i'm
parting his good news to all and
sundry, for everyone was willing to
listen to his tale of good luck. most
of them with envy. but some well
pleased that II was great. For Jean
Berrier was one Of the unfortunates
with a sick, dying wife, who had
struggled and slaved to put bread into
the mouths of her husband and three
small children ever since he, Jean, fell
from the scaffolding of building on
which he was working and broke his
leg. six months ago-struggled and
worked till the little body had sue
cumbed to the strain. and for weeks
she had lain without the strength to
crawl across the floor to the now
empty pantry.
And to crown her misfortune, the
little hoard Of francs she had saved
against such time had mysteriously
disappeared.
No bread had passed her lips for
two days now, and the little ones
were whimpering with cold and
hunger, while Jean--where was he?
Had anything happened to him?
Never before had he left for so long
And she was tired, oh, so tired
of waiting for him. 1t was getting
dark and cold-so cold She would
sleep and forget the cold.
There was stumbling noise as of
drunken man coming up the stairs,
then rush of stronger, swifter foot
steps, and the crippled Jean burst into
the room, intoxicated with JOY, fol-
lowed by rejoicing and sympathetic
neighbors and even strangers, brought
by the little mans enthusiasm.
"Tiens little one! Here are silks
and satins, horses and carriages, SER
wants and mansions, for you WhatI
asleep, little one?" and in spite Of his
elation he tiptoed across the room to
the pale. still figure on the rude couch
so still one could almost fancy-ah,
no! not that! Merdful heavens, not
that!
Dropped unheeded was the bag of
gold. Forgotten all the Joy of riches.
Silent the rejoicing neighbors-for the
little Marie had passed to the House
of Many Mansions. through the Gates
Of Jasper. the Streets Of Gold.
Awestruck and abashed the crowd
passed slowly from the room, leaving
the stricken husband three starving,
whimpering children piteously crying
for just crust of bread-and a floor
strewn with glittering gold coins.

NEAT tricks IN GARDENING
One Of Best Is Laying Board Over

There are great many little tricks

but Just good, common sense gar

use Of n board laid over. the row Of
seeds for few days after planting TO

plants all side shoots and suckers are
removed, leaving only the main stem

1t is easy to determine which are the

Humus and Fertility.

II you are planning a five or ten
acre field Of alfalfa, and Won ought to
plan II II you do not already have al
falfa, see that the ground is made
ready in good shape. Alfalfa needs a
hospitable soil, but it isn't so hard to
make soil pretty fairly hospitable.
Apply lime If the soil Is acid, and
plenty of good barnyard manure II It
lacks fertility and humus. Then re-
member this: You cannot get the
seedbed too fine for alfalfa; this crop
needs a firm, fine seedbed and to get
the very best results, you should see
that II gets what II needs.

leaf. Pinch out the side shoots. but
be careful not to injure the blossom
or fruit clusters.
Tomato stakes should be from 4
to 6 feet long and to IA inches
through at the thickest part. They
may be small sapllngs cut in the woods
and sharpened at one end, or they may
be split from a log that Is free from
knots. Sometimes strips Of waste ma.
terial from sawmill or planning mill,
known as edgings are used. 1t makes
little difference so long as the stakes
are strong enough to support the
plants and are inexpensive. The stakes
should be driven firmly into the
ground, one on the north side Of each
tomato plant, and the plants tied to
them once n week during the active
growing period with soft cord or mar
row strips Of muslin. Sometimes the
tomato plants will reach the tops of
the stakes and then hang over until
the tip will touch the ground, clusters
of fruits being formed all along the
stems.
Twenty-Five to 80 tomato plants
trained to stakes will supply the aver
age family with all the tomatoes
needed for use while fresh, also for
canning. 1t pays to 60 to some little
trouble to have them early, also to
stake and prune them so that the
quality will be the best.

DISCARD ALL B0ARDER HENS
In Small Flock Owner Can Determine
by Observation Which Fowls
Are Layers.

In any flock some hens will be
found to be much better producers
than others. Often there are few
hens that are such poor layers that It
doesn't pay to keep them. Where the
flock Is small the owner can determine
by observation which hens are merely
boarders; and these are the ones to
eat.

SCOUT TRAINING SAVES LIFE.

Little Mildred Cannon, a five-year-
old youngster, started little camp
fire Of her own In her back yard. Her
clothing caught fire and the child ran
screaming toward the house. Her
brother Eugene, a fourteen-year-old
scout. heard the little ones outcry
and rushing to the rescue rolled her
in the sand, extinguishing the flames,
undoubtedly saving the child from be-
ing burned to death. Another incl
dent which goes to prove that a scout
really is prepared and doesn't lose his
head In time of emergency.

PATTY MAKES REPORT

That the actual engineering work
done on South Dakota drainage
projects in the past three years alone
would more than cover the cost OF
maintaining the whole agricultural
engineering project Of the State col
lege extension service-fs shown by
figures given in the annual report of
r. L. Patty. the extension engineer.
This. however, is but a small part
of the beenft. that will come from
these farm tile demonstration prof
ects," says Mr.. Patty. In the older
states millions OF dollars have been
wasted in laying tile by guess, in
using too small a tile, and in opening
the tile at the surface of the ground
on a wide plat, expecting one string
of tile to make farm land Of it. This
kind of work has all had to be done
over a cost, usually greater than the
original, as the tile saved in taking
them up would often not pay for the
expense.
"Neighbors living in the vicinity of
these demonstration projects in South
Dakota are watching them and will
not fail to realize that thing laid on
a good grade and checked up after
being laid 30 as to be sure it is on
grade. is well worth the extra fee of
a reliable engineer. The thing of

THE TWILIGHT STORY HOUR
BY Nelia Gardner White

By Nelia Gardner Whhe
There is, to my mind, nothing more
potent for discipline or for creating
confidence between a mother and heI
child than a twilight story hour"
A daily story time may sound like
romance but it is very practical and
accomplishes more good than a thou
sand seedlings. There is a story some.
where for every phase Of character
growth, and any librarian will help q
mother to find these stories. II there
Is no library available, there can be
no better investment for the character
building of your child than the pur
chase of a few good story books. The
child lives in a world Of fiction. Do
not deprive him of your companion
ship in that legitimate, fascinating
realm.
There come i'm every day, small vex-
atoms, irritations because a child does
not comprehend grown-up standards
or is mischievous CIR willful. Never let
your boy or girl go to bed with the
days tangle unsmoothed. have heard
mothers say, I'm too tired when night
comes!" or Pm going out tonight; I
can't stand be bothered" The one
who cant be bothered" perhaps does
not realize that a man or a woman
with breadth of vision and an magma
ton to accomplish great things may
be in the making during that few
minutes of every evening. The mother
who is too tired" and there are so
many of them, perhaps does not know
what a blessed restfulness is to have
the children on her lap or about the
fire with her, quiet after the days
excitement, listening with wide eyes
to the twilight story. 1t Is as soothing
to the mother as to the children, and
there is an intimacy growing out of
that time which never ceases to be
a blessing in after years.
You may say you have not the time
to learn stories; would reading them
do as we'll? For a score of reasons it
would not. If you are really DESTROYS
of the best for your children and are
looking for some way to make a beau.
tiful harmony out of your lives to
gether, you will find the time. 1t does
not take more than a few minutes to
read a story, and you can go over it
in your mind while you are washing
the dishes or preparing the vegetables
Off dinner. Perhaps the longest time
required is in choosing the right story
to tell at the right time.
AS you study these stories, you will
find that your own character is ex.
banding too. There is a lesson for
grown-ups in all the old fairy tales
and in many Of the new ones. The
story hour will keep your imagination
from becoming dulled, it will quicken
your sense of humor, it will make you
young with your children and better
able to enter into every nook and
Granny of their child life.
Do not think that this method OF
disciplining is too indirect, that the
moral of the story will be lost in the
interest of the story itself. 1t has
been proved repeatedly that this is
not true, even when it may seem so at
first.
Be consistent in the storytelling If
you undertake it. Do not do it one
night and neglect it the next. Make
it a part of every day and it will soon
come to be the sweetest, most restful
and helpful time both to yourself and
your children.

ALTERATION.

ALTERATION occurs sometimes In the
writings of the a%ncients, but not, 1t Is
supposed, designedly. as they regard
ed all echoing of sound as a rhetorical
blemish. Cicero, in the "Ofices," has
this phrase: "Sensim sine sensu aetas
~senescit;" and Virgil in the "Ae-
neid." has many marked alterations.
