Beth," said Beat rice, cordial ly. relates the Chicago Daily News. "Did you have a pleasant time?" "An unusual one, at least," replied Beth. "At least, 1 hope so. I should hate to think my experience could be repeated in every town where my hus band ever lived when he was a bach elor." "(>o on. dear," exclaimed Beatrice. "This sounds interesting." "First," Beth began, "let me give you some advice. Never visit in a town where your husband, when you have one, is well acquainted and you are not, especially if you hail from a city like Chicago. The inhabitants never forgive n man who ignores the village girls to marry a non-native—or. rath er. they never forgive the designing creature who permits him to throw himself away on her. They always pity him from the bottom of their hearts, for they feel sure that he was deeply attached to Susan Smith or Betsey Jones. There is never any doubt in their minds that the bold, scheming city girl 'roped him in,' as they say." "Mercy! TTowctvuld they say such a thing of you, of all girls?" "Well, one day shortly after we reached this former home of Ted's we went, just for exereife. down to the railway station with Ted's brother •Tack, who was going to the next town for a day on business. The train was a half hour late, and the boys went out side to smoke and chat, while J was soon deeply interested in a magazine that I had just bought. Presently three pretty, rosy-looking frirls came in. till laughing and talking nt. onee. You know everyone who happens to be down-town within an hour or so of train time lias togo to the station to see the train come in. These girls seated themselves oil the bench near est the window overlooking the plat form and I settled back to meditate loftily on the narrowness of the life those girls led. "But my meditations were doomed to come to a sudden end. at least along that particular line, for as Ted and •Tack sauntered past the window with their heads well down and enjoying a good, old-fasioned visit one gir!. whom the others called Blanche, exclaimed: 'lf there isn't. Ted Fowler!' I felt a little indignation at the familiar tone she used. That indignation grew steadily foj* a few moments in view of the fact that those girls sat there ad miring'and praising him- giggling and blushingover my own Teddy.

I have at present two companies enrolled. The ranks arc constantly filling; in the fall two or three new com panies will be formed. Most of the rank and file are the sons of rich merchants; all but two or three speak English more or less fluently.

"I hoped' Blanche would 1 deny this and ease my mind, for she was unde niably a very pretty girl and might have been quite a witch in lier own way. But she only said, modestly: 'O. yes, 1 suppose he was. He used to tell me so often enough, goodness knows!'" "How ever could yon endure it?" asked Beatrice. "Endure it!

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1902. MENNONITES IN KANSAS. Vcar* Atco Thl* I'ronprrnaa Srci Trle«l to nn Old-WorlU County in Tbia Country, Abandoned and falling into decay near the town of Ilillsboro, in Marion county, Kan., stands an old Dutch wind mill, built in 1871 by the Mennonites. Nearby is a settlement, or "dorf," of prosperous Mennonite farmers. The mill, once useful in the economy of the community, is now the home of owls and bats. The weatherboards are falling off, the wooden cogwheels are rotting away and the doors gone. Its THE OLD MILL, OF 1871. successor is a steam roller mill not far away. The settlement is called Ouadenau, meaning the "Valley of the Grace of God." It was regularly organized with a "dorfscliultze," who sat in judgment on the disputes of the settlers. The courts were open to them, but i'f they invoked them they were in peril of ex pulsion from the church. They tried to reproduce in this country the vil lages they had left in Russia and to establish here the manners and cus toms of their ancestors. They sue- j ceeded for awhile, but the new genera tion that has been born there prefers : the American way of living; so the windmill and the patriarchs of the settlement are all that is left of the j original "dorf." The head of every family took lfiO ' acres of land. In the beginning the tracts of all were thrown together and | cut up into 16%-acre "kegels." In this way they were able to build the homes close togegtlier and farm the outlying land. They made the "dorf" three j miles long, and fronting on a road they built their houses. The walls of j their houses were made of clay and were eight feet tjiiok. The roofs were made of "blue stem." a tall grass which ! nt that time grew abundantly in the j bottomlands roundabout. A number 1 of these houses, prettily whitewashed, exist to-day. but the most of the orig- ; innl habitations have been succeeded i bj* wooden farmhouses. The "kegel" system has been almost, abandoned. ' The Mennonites soon contracted the j American habit of "trading," and the ! "kegel" system necessitated the con currence of too many persons in mak ing deeds. THE NO-PURPOSE COW. She I* In Evidence Everywhere, nn InJnrj- to the Cattle a* Well an Ilnlry IIUNIIM-MM. The no-purpose cow is so much like the mongrel dog or the barnyard fowl. Neither has any particular j breed possibilities or capabilities. They exist because they are the prod ucts of a lazy, careless system. They do not help their owner much, but tend to discourage him with his life. The no-purpose cow is the product of indifferent systems of farming, and it is an animal which is neither good for milk nor beef. She is usually a good feeder, an excellent feeder in fact, but not much of a producer. It is astonishing sometimes to know where the food goes which she eats, i for it is converted into neither fat, flesh nor milk. It must make bone, I muscle or sinew, for the flesh of the animal is generally tough when eaten. Now the general purpose cow is a cross or type intermediate be tween the beef and dairy type. This animal, strictly speaking, is the prod uct of careful and good breeding, and is not the outcome of chance or ac cident. She has been bred for a dual purpose and if she comes up to an ticipations she is a good milker and a good beef producer. While not as good as the best beef animal or the finest dairy cows in producing flesh or milk, she nevertheless possesses the ability to partake of each to a considerable degree. She is eminent ly adapted to the general farmer who wishes milk, and later a fat cow for the shambles, with calves which will produce good veal in a short time from birth. It may not be generally known, but it is more difficult to raise such an animal than a typical beef or dairy cow. The danger, how ever, comes in with the no-purpose cow. In trying to secure a good gen eral purpose animal, we may stumble upon the former. This should be avoided in every possible way, for the investment, would prove as unsat isfactory as any possibly could on the farm.—E. P. Smith, in Indiana Parmer. Calves do better when turned in a pasture together than when they are with the cows or grown cattle.— Pural World. The milk should always be skimmed while sveet. and the cream then al lowed to turn slightly sour. EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST. A Letter of Ileooin inenila t lon That TV a a Taken for a Presriptlon for Cough Medicine. A young man being out of employment recently requested a former employer to Live him a letter of recommendation to aid him in securing a situation. The letter was written and handed to the applicant, who was quite unable to read it, as was every pernon to whom it was (shown. He was advised to take it to a printing office, where it could he deciphered, as compositors are noted for lieitig able to make out the worst specimens of writing, relates London Ti> Bits. It was handed to compositors in various oflier-s, and in turn given up without being deciphered. As a forlorn hope it was taken to a chem ist, who, from his long experience in de ciphering prescriptions, had the reputation of being able to read anything. The man of drugs took the paper, gazed at it long and thoughtfully, and tlirn seized nn empty quart bottle and hurried round the shop, taking some fluids from sundry bottles, and finally shaking the compound vigorously. Then, handing it to the owner of the letter, he remarked to that aston ished individual: "Two shillings; and a very good cough mixture it is!" CARRIED A MENAGERIE.

"No; it might get away," the thin man said, with anot her smile. The basket preserved silence for several minutes, then it began to cluck. The child's eyes opened wide. "Like chickens?" the thin man asked. Before the child could reply the basket emitted a shrill whistle, and the man across the aisle, whose face was as puzzled as the child's, asked: "What have you there, anyhow?" "Mockingbird," the thin man answered. SIOO.OO CAAII I"rl*e for n Name.
