Feeding Sweet Glover

So far sweet clover hay has not
been observed to in any way injure
sheep or horses. Its bad effects seem
to be confined to cattle. Then, too.
sweet clover pasture has never been
known to produce this trouble. Thou.
sands of farmers have used sweet clo-
yer pasture for years without any bad
results. The North Dakota expert
ment station has conducted a sweet
clover pasture test with calves with

With this evidence. certainly agricul-

Roy Sherid, young Yankee pitcher,
was called in by Commissioner
Landis to give closeup details of his
signing with the New York club. The

of Grinnell Land through Kane sea.
Early in September they were forced
to abandon their boats and for thirty
four days they were adrift on floating
ice. Finally they managed to reach
Smith sound and landed south of
Cape Sabine, north of and opposite
Littleton island, which two hundred
and fifty miles away. 1t was near
here that the first year relief ship
had been forced to turn back and far
south of Cape Sabine, the second year
rescue ship had been crushed in the
ice and all provisions lost.
The record of their stay at Cape Sa-
bine is one long story of terrible suf-
fering Here for eighteen months
they lived on two months rationS.
The simple record of Sergeant Brai-
nard's diary reveals the horrors Of
those days as can no extended de-
scription. On October 2 he writes:
took an inventory Of the commits
airy stores last evening and found only
35 days full rations of bread and meat
remained. These rations can be ex-
tended to SO days, if we subject our
selves to greatly reduced diet, but
the suffering will be extreme in this
low temperature where a man requires
from two to three times the normal
diet. Also, we have some very hard
labor ahead o. us incident to the build
ing of winter quarters.

cept starvation. Every hope of rescue

hope for anything now from a relief

forgotten us in our hour of need.

THE EVENING STORY
One of World-Famous Works of Literature

I not Jul Kouan be accused of frivolity
on that account, and let 1t not be said
that she was foolish to fall in love with
man merely after seeing his reflection
in q pool What more, unless one has
the advantage of long acquaintance. sc

any girl know of her future husband!

Tchin Sing also had caught sight OF
this wondrouS beauty.
Am I dreaming?" he asked himself
Surely that lovely face sparkling IN
the crystal water was formed OF the
moons Silvery beams and of the most
subtle aroma of the flowers on Spring
night! Though I have never seen her
1 recognize here. She is indeed the
woman whose image has been engraved
on my heart"
After this both Tchin Sing and Ju
Kouan were less interested in other
youths and maidens than ever. They
would not hear of marriage.
Day after day at the Safi1e hour
Tchin Sing returned to the rural pa
vilion, and, as on that first day, he
leaned over the railing of the balcony
In few minutes he would see Ju
Kouan's image reflected in the water
like a bouquet of submerged flowers
The young man one day put his hand
to his heart and kissed the tips of his
fingers. blowing the kiss to the refiec-.
ton with a gesture full of grace and
love. A smile of happiness bloomeC
like a pomegranate bud in the trans

that his image was not indifferent tc

A few minutes later he emerged,
holding a square of tinted silver paper,
on which he had improvlsed declara-

it I'D and incloSed it in the calyx of a
flower, which he put into broad water
lily leaf and placed the parcel gently on

OPPORTUNITY drove the love letter toward
one Of the openings in the wall, and
all that Ju Kouan had to do was to
stoop and pick it up-which she did.
Ju Kouan took her love letter to her
most secret chamber. where she perused
it in delight. She made modest reply
but 1t was enough to let Tchin know
that his love was returned. Their next
problem was how to find each other in
reality. They were weary OF reflections
only.
Each approached the mother. The
mothers. Learning of the names of their
children's lovers, recognized the SYM

The priest confirmed them in this in
depreciation OF their dreams. So they
contrived to have the rich merchants

the pair met the two old friends Won

The wedding took place, and Pearl
and Jasper were at last able to con-

happiness itself is often no more than

Radio Announcement
King George Is Dead,
Is Proved to Be Hoax

Paris, Nov. 4.-(P,-Word that King
George of England had died was
broadcast by q Paris radio station
last night and not corrected until 10
minutes later when It's information
was found to have been hoax.
The radio station received q phone
call purporting to be from q widely
known French news agency which
sometimes supplies 1t with news. The
speaker, after identifying" himself,
conveyed the false information that
King George had Just died.
The information was put on the
ether at once, one of the editors of
the news agency being among the
listeners. He called hts organization
and asked details. only Of course to
receive blanket denial that any
such reports had been put out. On
the contrary, 1t was noted, latest re-
ports as to the kings health were
highly optimistic.
