The problem of clearing off cut-over land In Northern Wisconsin has been greatly simplified by the Introduction of Angora goata. The Angora goata do not pull up stumps nor cut down standing timber, but they clear off brush and young trees. James B. Car roll, of Alma Center, aaya that tbey bave enabled him to clear his land and keep It cleared at a cost of only five dollars an acre. eH puts them into a five-acre lot. and leta them stay In It till the entire piece la clean. They will girdle and kill young trees four and five Inchea In diameter, and they like brush better than grass. Their wool Is valuable, and they are sure breeders, though they do not multiply as fast as sheep. For lo these many years the goat has been a favorite butt of the comic cartoonist, who haB shaken wftb laughter while depicting him In the act of chewing up a tin can or devour ing the family wash as It hung pn tbe line. The goat may have done, these things when be was forced by man to live In the environs of populous cities. The gnat loves freedom. His natural home is on tbe edge of the wilderness. Evidently It pays to put bim where he belongs.

') wish I was there now. The waters or the Pacific were very clear where I did my fishing, and by tbe advice of a Dutch uncle, I low ered by a cord over the aide of tbe boat a well corked bottle half filled with grasshoppers, worms and wa ter. There were a dozen boats fish ing on all sides, but none of them bad my luck. I landed three fish to tbelr one.

A LAVENDER TOWN. Fragrance of Flower Wafted far Two Mllea at Cutting Time. One" of the minor harvests of Eng land that promise well la that of tha lavender fields. I have seen some nourishing crops In tha Hltchla neighborhood. Comparatively few knew of this quaint Hertfordshire town as am Im portant lavender growing centra, yet It baa grown tha aweet herb (which tbe Romans called lavandula when they used It to acent their baths), 1 distilled tbe flowers and seat their cot- tract Into all parts of tha world for more than a century. Tbe Hltchln district has leaa nla and more sunshine tbsn the London area during the month which has just closed, and consequently tha long. trim rowa of lavender plants In their dusky green look strong and healthy. They are beginning to ahow thatr flower buds, and there Is every likeli hood of an abundant yield at outting time, which will be from three to four weeks bene. At cutting time people coma In from miles around to Inhale tbe sweetneaa of the fields, and when tba distilling begins the fragrance of lavender la borne on the wind two mllea or mora from the town. The flowers are put Into tbe still wl'h the fresh bloom of their maturity on them, and from six pounds of such flowers about half an ounce of oil la extracted.

A Louisville man who waa enter. .ng the tobacco business wanted nan's for a new brand that be waa 'n nut on tbe market, according to J .ctess.

"I cannot stay, dear," abe aald re gretfully. "To Is Is such a busy day. But here are two' packagea I wish you would send for me, one by mes senger to Wellington avenoe, a dia mond ring for Leonora's birthday," and a work box which la to go by express to Anna." He took tbe packages from her and laid them carefully updn ' the desk. Aa ahe drew on her gloves he stooped and kissed her tenderly, "Thoughtful little mother,", he aald. Aa the door closed behind her a faint ahadow of annoyance crept Into his eyes. He glanced from the pack age to the partly written manuscript Ith a aomewhat quizzical- anille.

The irony of the situation flashed upon hljn. He dared not acknowledge to himself, that, philanthropist though be was, his heart had bridged the great gulf wblch lay between hla life , and the gay, frivolous existence of Leonora Huzeltine. She, the acknowU edged leader of all social life, had reused for a moment in the whirl, and smiled. It was tbe memory of this ir. lle, which against his better judg ment held her place secure In his heart. "Tbe workbox," he repeated. should serve to remind the thought- ess society girl that usefulness Is a part of life's great purpose, that with out its character forming influence no life can hope to reach its culminating possibilities." - . He turned to resume his writing, but found his pen arrested by a deep- desire to make the best of the great forces within himself and he .at in deep thought for a long while. At. length be bent again over tbe desk and. wrote rapidly. An hour passed tnd be wrote on, and then with a' deep sigh of satisfaction he laid aside bis pen, and as he did so the forgot ten packages met his eye. He glanced up anxiously at tbe ulock and dis covered that he had barely time, to meet bis appointment He addressed tbe cards hastily and, ranging the bell, directed Jenkins to send them at once. A week later Mrs. Rutledge faced her aon with a glance of mingled re proach and gladness She banded him a letter and watched' hla aa ha hastily scanned It. Dear Auntie he began. "You can never know the pleasure which your most beautiful gift baa given me. My busy life has hitherto been so void of color.

As if in answer to his question sbs came toward him with a trace ot tears upon her face and ber hands lingered in his with a little tremulous reluctance. "I am glad that you came," ahe said -:oftly.

"I lovt you. My little girl, can t you lovi me?" He caught her and drew her towarf him. Her pride fought hard, but he heart waa the victor.
