NEVER LINCOLN'S REAL LOVE
his Marriage With Mary Tsdd Scene to Have Been Largely Matter
 of ConVanianee.

Mary Todd wife of Abraham Lin coin, was the sort of woman who ts described as capable and upright" Lincoln, it is testified by biOgraphers, was not deeply in love with Mary, either before or after their marriage. As a matter of fact, his heart was buried in the grave of his first love, and he had proposed marriage to a second and unwilling young woman. By the time he married Mary Todd, who was neither beautiful nor gra- ciOus, he had come to regard marriage as a necessity rather than as the ulti- mate result of love and romance.
 Their cOurtship was long and sui fered many bumps and separations before it eliminated in marriage. When Lincoln first met Miss Todd she was only sixteen years old and was being cOurted by Stephen Doug las the great mans rival in many things
 Lincoln had suggested in a rather onhand way that he would marry her. Apparently regret set in rather soon, for he made several attempts to grace fully withdraw from the compact. But Mary, with prophetic vision, had an idea that he would one day reach the White House and she was deter mined to be its mistress.

"kidnap" Camera.

When you inquire about the big cam era the station photographer uses in taking the 1% inch square photo graphs for the 5O-trip family ticket he says. "Oh, it is a special one we invented years ago for kidnaping."
 How do you number them?"
 ''It is a six-expOsure plate, and each of these spaces on the sheet of paper corresponds to one on the plate. Each plate is numbered. We used to use this camera for Kidnapping.
 Then you swallow your pride and ask boldly:
 "What do you mean-kidnaping?"
 He laughs Eindly at your ignorance.
 Why, you know" he says, i've take our camera and go out on the street and see a little boy and take his pie ture. We get his name and address. By and by, after we develop the pie ture, we go around to his home and show it to his mother. If she likes the picture, she buys one. That's Kidnapping, ,"-PittsburEh Dispatch.

REALLY NO WASTE PAPER
Printed PassS Are cOnVSrtsd IntO an Almost EndISss Variety of High
 Iy Useful Products.

Did you ever wonder what became of the enormous amount of paper which is daily consumed by newspa- papers. magazines, correspondence and recOrds?. Not all of it goes into the furnace, says & writer in the Christian Science Monitor. In great office build ings. in business houses, in printing shops, a mountain of waste paper is saved, baled and sold. Churches and charitable institutions often make pa per collections to raise funds. Some junk dealers buy old paper. Pulp mills have fleets of trucks out gather ing raled paper from business places.
 Take 8 look on your pantry shelf. Breakfast food, raisins, pancake flour. fiavOring extracts, nearly every thing is in . neat paper box. Paper cartons for shipping, shoe boxes, suit boxes. candy boxes, wall board, g thousand products are made from old papers.
 When the old paper arrives at the mill the bundles and bales are opened and the contents are dumped into a big revolving screen where a great fs blows out the dust and dirt. Then l. broad cOnveyer belt carries the loose pieces past Sorters who separate the paper into several grades. ranging from linen bond to newSprint.

 He knew from the way the judge had mentioned the situation that in some way Mary had shown them that she had not remembered. One straw remained; he would see her the next Gay.
 Mastering himself with difficulty that afternoon he stepped out on the screened porch, where, comfortable in a big chair, she was reading. >
 She lifted a small pale, but heauti- full face to his. Her dark eyes glowed a bit as she saw him, but the greeting was the old greeting of friendly days:
 Hello, Chet. Come to see the in valid-that is good of you"
 He killed his intense desire to take her and love her until she remem- bered: but he had been warned, and he chaIted of just this and rhat-and nothing more.
 When he left the judge put one hand on his shoulder. Lad. we are all sorry. Win her again"
 The farewell words thrilled him with their meaning. And they took on new significance when he saw the car 'Of~Arden Lamson stop before the house. A queer thought struck him: Suppose by some queer twist of fate she should now fall in love with Arden, his old and bitter rival, then some day while in love with Arden memory should return
 ''I shall be mad If l keep on think ing what might happen. I shall plan for what know is going to happen ?" he said to himself grimly.
 He set himself to woo her again. It was in his car that she took the frs rides, but Artlen's dark roadste, was stationed often in front of the hic Eathan mansion. Chester won derrd if any one had told Arden of the situation. but he did not have the courage to ask.
 AS the weeks went on Mary grew stronger. but no event of the lost months returned. Once as she and Chester were strOlling together along the river path she said whimsically: Sometimes it seems as if almost re- member"-she looked up at Chester with dark, wistful eyes, and his heart stood still-"and then all goes. How queer"
 Never mind the lost months, Mary, so long as the future ones are all ] right" he answered.
 She nodded and slipped her armE through his--the old way of their con- ! radeship, not lover. days, and walked on in silence. At the side door of the house after the stroll she paused and laid soft cheek agai1st his shoulder. "Chet, you have been so good to mel' she said softly.
 He started to seize her in his arms, then mastered himself. "You are worth being good to, Mary Kathan," he answered gently as he said good night.

 At the summons Chester Stevens hurried to the home of Mary Kathan. Through anxious days he had been waiting for just that word, and now 1t had come.
 Mir. Eathan met him at the door and motioned him into the library, where the gray-headed lawyer faced him a bit sadly.
 Chester, I have good news for you and perhaps bad news. Mary's case has proved unusual, but the physicians have told us what is probable to hap pen, and you must be ready 10 bear up just as the rest of us."
 "I am ready, judge" the other an swerd quietly.
 Well, Mary is going to recover all right, but the brain fever resulting from the accident has left this result :: she seems to have forgotten complete ly everything that took place for about a year before the accident. That memory may return, and it may not. Doctor McPherson says we know aS much about it as he does"
 But she is better?' rhe younger man asked eagerly.
 Yes. she is better" the judge an swered, an odd look in his eyes, and tomorrow we are going to let you see her if she wants to-"
 Wants to- the other repeated. "Why-" then a darkening fear spread in his eyes-"it was last year she learned to love me and became en- gagged to me. You mean that all that is-is-is wiped out?"
 The judge nodded.
 Stevens left the house in daze. and not until he reached his own rooms did the unsettled world begin to sink back into place. In the quiet of his rooms he resrranged a changed world. His mind went back over those months Of courtship when he had bent every means to one end-tO win the love, freely given, of Judge Kathan's dark-eyed daughter.
 Then in the rose garden of the fine estate she had given herself to him, and the next day, while out with her car, the accident had come that had thrown it's black shadow over his

TObagO should adopt the bluebfrd as it's crest, for in the faces of the peo- pie shine the gift of happiness, wheth- CT it be in the bronzed features of the white planters who have elected to lead the simple life on this little island. or whether it be on the shining black faces of the negroes. AS TObagO was British possession when Trinidad was still Spanish, there are hardly any French or Spanish creOles, and most of the estates belong to the de- scendantS of old Scotch families.

one Of these crops comes from the
air and it is a very simple mathemat
zeal problem to determine how much
by growing and blowing in one of
the nitrogen in the soil is increased
these legumes.
There are two kinds of water in the
soil; free water, or that which flows
to a lower surface, and capillary water
or that which flows from the damper
to the drier regions.
The latter is the water that benefits
the crop.
We all know how the sponge holds
water Humus or vegetable matter in
the soil is the sponge of that soil That
is what holds the reserve Of moisture.
Therefore vegetable matter de
gumes) plowed into the soil increases
the water holding capacity Of the soil.
This increased water supply is need
ed during the spring droughts.
No crop needs to suffer here from
one of these spring droughs, and will
not, if the farmer makes these prepare
tons.
During the winter where land is left
bare the potash and phosphoric acid
is washed out of the soil through the
operations of the free water. The
nitrogen not only passes away through
the free water but even passes from
the soil as gas ammonia. When spring
comes all the plant food that has be-
come available during the winter
months is gone. Only that which is
made available during the spring and
summer will be there when the crop
grows.
The editor of the Southern Agricul-
turists says so we'll: You cannot roll
up your fields and put them under
cover before the washing and leachlng
rains of November begin, but YOU can
do better thing. You can go out and
spread cover over them
Rye, oats and hairy vetch are among
our best winter cover crops When
plant food becomes available during
the winter the roots of these plants
are there ready, active, to grab IL.
When the farmer turns this cover
crop into the soil in the spring, it
adds vegetable matter to the soil, IN
creases its water holding capacity, ana
turns back all the plant food that has
become available during the four or
five winter months. This practically
doubles the plant food that becomes
available during the spring months
The failure Of the farmer to grow
the winter cover crops and the sum-
mer Iegumes that he should is the rea-
son why questions number two ana
three can he asked. These are the
