HAYWOOD and SWAN LATRoBE, among

some OF its members. They were
often seen at Barlow in rivalry with
the Pensions, ALEcK SHIELDS and
others from Canada.
After the club moved in the early
's0s to the home IL has just lost, near
Throggs Neck, it became a center OF
social activity. J. M. WATERBURY
it's president, was the leader in a
campaign Of gayety which culmi

country home near by. This fete,
which was planned to surpass in
magnincence the entertainment OF q

What Won the Revolution.

That we should not have won the
Revolutionary war had our country
( lacked a certain restricted area of
: limestone soil situated exactly where
il lies is the interesting assertion
+ made by Professor ARCHER BUTLER
HUBERT of the historical department
< of Colorado College at the sixty-sixth
annual meeting of the American His
torical Association in st. Louis a
few days ago.
In corroboration of this declara-
tion Professor HUBERT calls as a
Z witness GEORGE WASHINGTON himself.
lie quotes WASHINGTON as saying
that but for the wheat raised on the
interior belt of limestone formation
reaching from Pennsylvania across
Maryland and into the uplands OF
western Virginia the American armies
could not have been fed and our fight
for national independence could never
have been won.
Tidewater Virginia's wheat was OF
small yield and unsatisfactory in
3 quality. 1t ran too much to stalk
and not enough to head. In the lime
stone region this condition was re-
versed. Wheat there ran heavily TO
head and was of excellent quality.
4 Moreover, the region itself was suff-
ciently remote from the scene OF hos
filities to secure 1t from enemy visi-
taticn. New England wheat crops
were good in quality but inadequate
80 quantity. The great dependable
american granary in Revolutionary
days was in the valleys and bottom
lands of the mountainous regions OF
what then was the far west.
In this the country about Lancas.
Ter county, Pennsylvania, was in the
lead. From its soil came fine cereal
crops far in excess OF the needs OF
the population.
To large areas OF this grain produc-
ing country tidewater rivers were in
accessible. other methods Of trans.
porting the grain 10 markets had TO
be devised. Hence II was that Penn

and that stanch inland cruiser the

Fox Farming as an Industry.

Fox farming, which has long been
carried on in Canada, is being more

in this country $4,000 individual speci

Canticles Of January.

I.--AFTER THE ICE STORM.
Cold, translucent daybreak, after the
night of driven sleet;
Bitter clouds flying before the pomp OF
dawn.
And the world Of sun-smitten ice afiame
with splendor!
All, tremor of the myriad ice-sheathed
branches along this forest-border.
in the passionate purity of light
How shall i endure your glory?
Dazzling, wind-shaken spectrum fires
of the tinkling crystal-crimson,
orange. emerald and blade-blue-
You must be the glittering debris from
some supernal collision OF wheel
ing rainbows
High above the pellucid founts OF the
morning.
1.-THE REFULGENT DARK.
The sun sets amorg rose-purple clouds
blazing all about their borders
with orange-gold.
And then the night
Resplendent in jeweled majesty Of the
winter consultations flashing from
the fathomless blue-black vault.
What an arch for the setting of this
snow-battle,
Where the choir boys have raced from
rehearsal into the tlngling cold
The cakes of the brittle crust that they
fling burst into glistening powder
when they strike,
To melt against the cheeks and throats
aglow with gayety OF their war
fare,
While the shouting and laughter seem
to chime against the silver bells
of the very stars themselves.
o we nights of January,
"Bless ye the Lord,
Praise Him and magnify Him forever!'

Miss ANNA d. WILLIAMS of Philadel-
phia, a distinguished Kindergarten,
is disclosed as the lady who posed for
the head on the silver dollar which has
Just been supplanted in the coinage.
She takes calmly the substitution OF
another design for that her profile
adorns. Probably she is familiar with
O. Henry's tale OF the girl who looked
like Miss Liberty and thereby fell into
temporary luxury; Miss WILLIAMS is
fortunate that her life work has pro-
vided something more interesting for
her to think about than the senti-
ments her fine features on the dollar

CHAPTER I
The Two Farms

DADDY DOGS pupils were taking n
Owalk at the edge of the woods They
came to the top Of a hill where they
could look out over the open country.
There they saw two farms-one with
well-kcpt fields growing heavy crops
the other with ragged, weedy fields
growing thin crops.
The farm with the well.k kept fields
had fat cattle in the meadows. neat
orchards loaded with fruit, big barns
and comfortable house.
The farm with the ragged, weedy
fields had runty cattle in its meadows,

market. 1t was loaded with baskets OF
vegetables. fruit. eggs and butter.

him were his wife and happy little
daughter Alice.
