ISM. by D.ivM I>owry 0 » : Dan Craliuw was ilie mast unhappy I you ni? man in Hamilton county. If t!ie bald fact bad bot-n announced in as many words, nobody would have ques tioned tli2 absolute correctness of the statement. Dolly Worth had taken particular pains to manifest her indifference con cerning Dan's actions, liis sayings, his likes or dislikes—his future. Nothing that affected Dan Graham could in the slightest manner concern Dolly Worth. And everybody thought that they were engaged! Finally, when speculation seenit-d to be exhausted, somebody conceived the Idea that the reason why those two had parted was not so much of a mys tery after all. Inside of a week everybody knew that Dolly had discarded her lover be cause he was a "stay at home." When the Fairview guards marched away to fight in Cuba, among all the enthusias tic beauties who waved their handker chiefs after the swiftly receding train none was more prominent than Dolly Worth. Although nobody could summon suf fieient courage to inform Dan Gra ham that people referred to him as a "stay at home," he knew the truth as well as if it had been cried from every housetop. For a time his mother feared that he was in danger of Im pressions that might prove lasting impressions which, if permitted to be come permanent, would mar his life. But some underlying force, some in bred strength, asserted itself speedily Dan's demeanor was again the agree able front presented to all the world, and a very winning demeanor it was. The air palpitated with war's alarms. People talked of nothing but the war until one day a garrulous old man contrived between his dally dozes to Inform Dan that be at least did not find any fault with him for not going to the war. That was six or eight mouths after Dolly Worth had coolly parted from him on the most public thoroughfare in Fairvlew. The next day a calamity overtook Fairvlew. The valley sank In waters gathered in a great storm. Its Gelds were swept; fresh gleaned harvests* were lost; the fences for miles crum bled into the rising waters like the fringe of a doll's dress In a blaze, leav ing the valley desolate. The muddy waters pressed through crevices and crannies, filling every cellar in Fair view; then they rose to the first and second floors. A general hegir.n was inevitable. Furniture was pulled and hauled and lifted by main strength from floor to floor. Only such articles were left floating as might serve for precarlou.. footing for the drowning rats. Everybody was wet, dirty, soggy and cold. Night was coming on rapidly when a motley crowd gathered around the Immense fire the l>oys had kindled on the lot in front of the postoffiec where the farmers hitched their horses when the flood was not. Suddenly somebody mentioned old Gabe gomers. Old Gabe was the oldest Inhabitant of Falrrlew. One of Gabe's uncles was captured by the Indians and tor tured to death on the Island opposite the town. Gab* lived alone in a cabin Isolated from his fellow#, a rickety af fair at b«-*t. so old that nobody was able to recall when It was erected. "Has *r.ybody seen old Gabe?" The query was repeated. As men looked at each other there In the fast falling night a silence fell upon the crowd. The silence was ominous. Gabe's poor cab in would never survive the flood Perhaps while they stood there it was ""rumbling down into the hungry water. Then the spirit which prompts all mankind to extend a help ing hand found voice. There were suzz'-stions, conflicting advice. Suddenly one inan ran towardGabe's cabin. Tbose nearest him exclaimed; other* Inquired who It was. Soon the crowd knew Dan Graham was fore- DtMt in a mad race to the river's edge. Dan was the swiftest skater, swim mer and runner In Fair-view and the beat dancer. Sow tie distanced all otb ers m t*r that before tbey coold sp proocit bim be bad leaped into a skiff, poshed it oat and was settling tbe oars Into tbe rowlocks when tbe <*bers eu&« op to tbe river's edge.

It was u te i sti nee as a tnou sand, one iu a million. The people on the shore ran headlong toward the breakwater. With the darkness of night settling around hiui l>an Gra ham gathered up his strength for one supreme effort. Old Uabe's cabin was stronger than anybody could ha\c credited. The framework held together amazingly. The floor crumbled and floated away beneath his feet, but the sinews of age still enabled Gabe to grasp with a drowning man's clutch the frame of the window. Iu vain Dan urged him to draw him self up and drop into the bow of the i skiff. Afterward Gabe told how, see ing the old man either could not or would not loosen his grasp on the win dow sill. Dan dropped his oars, reach ed forward and lifted old Gabe by , main strength out of the window and I deposited him in the bottom of the skiff. | At that moment a tree trunk struck ; the skiff. The jar almost knocked Dan into the river. He recovered his balance, however, and turned the boat's head shoreward. And now it was a pull for life. The blackness of a cloud> night enveloped him. His 9ole guide was the light on the lot in front of the postotliee. And bow could he gauge distance by that? He might be above, opposite or far be low the breakwater. Was he half way out in the river? Everything de pended upon his distance from the shore. He felt as if every moment must be his last effort. His temples throbbed. His muscles, now so rigid, might relax any moment. Human endurance could not last much longer. Then a voice shouted his name. "Dan! Dan!" He dared not answer if he could. All his breath was required to make the breakwater. "Ho-00-000. Dan! This way. I'm here —Dolly! Dan!" A few more strokes, and he beard a laugh that made him shudder. "Oh, thank God—thank God! I'm here, Dan. This way, Dan." Then he knew he was above the breakwater. He looked around. He could barely discern Dolly in the dark ness. Voices were heard on the shore. "Catch the pole, Dan—quick." Another pull, then Dan reached out a hand and grasped the pole. As he grasped it a heavy log struck the skiff. The next moment he was in the water. Dolly shrieked. Dan put his left arm under old Gabe and struck out with his right, contending now with the hungry waters for old Gabe's life. "Save yourself," said Gabe. But Dan compressed his lips and swam to Dol ly's side. Dolly held her pole out until he had a firm grasp on it. With won derful presence of mind he swam be low the waterlogged flat Dolly had pushed out from the shore. Now oth ers were near at hand, crying out to tlxem to take heart; help was at hand. When Dolly Worth stepped out of the flat, she was greeted with a cheer. Torches were flaming now; women were there, too—women with tears in their eyes—and big, rough men were there, whose eyes were moist as they grasped Dan Graham's hands. They were proud of the "stay at home." A Kentnckr Summer Outfit. Many years ago Senator Blackburn of Kentucky was summoned to Wash ington In the middle of June to look after a small matter of patronage. His departure was so sudden and the prospect of his staying more than a day or two away from home so remote that he carried with him only a hand bag. But business heaped up on him Jfter his arrival at the capital, and he irras obliged to telegraph back a re quest for a trunkful of summer cloth ing. His little daughter happened to be the only member of the family at home when his dispatch arrived, and, thinking it her duty to respond promptly, she packed a trunk and ship ped it, first slipping a note inside, as followa: Dear I'apa—l send you ail the clothe# I tan find ar-d hope you are well. The trunk contained seven white shirt*, six winter scarfs, one tooth brush. one bowie knife and two re vol vers. It was a rueful outlook for Blackburn, with the thermometer up among the nineties, but be listened to no proffered condolence*. "My da ugh ter lias done right," be said.

T» Prevent Bin Prom Absconding From TUelr >'ew Home. Many swarms abscond after being hived a few hours. This Is because their new home is not comfortable, and it is probably too hot, says F. G. Her man In American Agriculturist. A swarm of bees needs plenty of air. Aft er a few days when there are eggs and brcod in the naw hive they will rarely desert it. When hiving a swarm, we if® HTVE ASD FIXTURES FOP. A SWARM. raise the front end of the hive with corner blocks (d) made of inch stuff 2% inches wide and 5 inches long sawed diagonally from one corner to another. These blocks are also used for contracting the entrance when needed. We then slip the small end of the extension board (b> under the bot tom board of the hive, and the two lit tle pieces of iron hold It firmly In place. This makes a platform on which to dump the cluster of bees, wjien they will quickly run into the hive instead of running all over the ground. Xext put the shade board (c) on top of the hive, and the bees are about as com fortable as they can be made and are almost always sure to stay and make ir their new home. If the evening proves to be a little cool, remove the corner blocks after sundown, but leave the shade board on for a few days at least. FIELD BEANS. A Pbj liik Crop nnil the Latest Meth od* of Grontng It For Market. In parts of Michigan and New York the bean crop is a paying one. The prices this year are unusually high, and this is stimulating a slightly in creased acreage. In some places seed is being planted In Vows eight inches apart and no cultivation given. Last year this method was promising. The beans should never be planted until all danger from frost Is past. Those planted when the ground is thor oughly warmed and when frosts have left for good get ahead of the ones planted too early. As a rule choice dwarf varieties are best, as they stand up better, are more easily and cheaply cared for. If the soil is to be fertilized, be sure that the manure is thoroughly rotted. Cultivate as soon after a rain as possi ble to break up the crust, which will form on every field, but carefully avoid going Into a patch of beans when It Is wet. as the leaves are apt to be serious ly injured. Shallow and frequent cul ture is desirable. They should have at least four cultivations and more If the season turns out to be a dry one. Fol lowing is a brief paragraph written by a successful grower in Michigan to the Orange Judd Farmer, which Is author ity for the foregoing: Fanners always use their best land for beans, plowing ground early and harrowing well until June. When the ground is thoroughly warmed, which may not he until the middle of the month or even the 20th, plant in drills thirty Inches apart. Cultivate twice, which will usually carry the crop through. The harvesting is done with the common bean puller. Last year some few tried a new plan. They plowed »: ground early and cul tivated well ur.r.l the time of planting. The seed wan then sown In rows six inches apart. Of course It was not pos sible to cultlrate at all, but the ground was rolled directly after seeding. The beans were cut with a mowing ma chine and raked up with an ordinary hay rake. As a result the crop yielded twenty-two bushels per acre, which was double that secured from the ordi nary methods of euitur*. It must be rememter*rf however, that the grocr-d was in fine eonttlta. boing free frcm weed* and anything that wyold hinder the growth of the bean crop Hon to Ear«ara«c * *- Any ecltfratJofc which merely break* up the foot stocks and leave* tfeem in the ground, eapedaily daring wet weather, aids la tL*iz and multiplication and is worse than less uni*-*» the ctitivitlua Is ecntinued w as to prero:t any growth giaaad.

The grass out down In tho looming of the first day should lay out i:i ihv.' sunshine until the afternoon of the same day. Theu start the rake. Men may follow at once, putting the windrows Into coeks. which ought uot to IK? too large at this season of tli" year. If the sky is fair untl tlu- likelihood Is fur a good day tomorrow, no particu lar care need be given to the method of putting up the hay. In threatening weather the matter presents a differ ent phase. Every haycock should be s!:ai>od, so far as possible, to shed wa ter. The hay should not be rolled. It must ba stacked up, one forkful placed carefully on top of another and pressed dowr. compactly! The top ; should be quite sharp. Hay thus nr ranged will stand rain well. The next day start the mower again | in the morning. When the dew is off, set men to opening out the haycocks ■ put up the day previous. The hay i should be spread out thin, so that air and sunshine can freely circulate through it. By 2 o'clock of a bright day ; this hay will do to draw. A couple of hours later that cut in the morning may l>c raked. This is the story of a crop of good, bright hay. After the season advances so that the gross is a little riper if the weather be tine we mav get in in the afternoon of the same day the grass cut In the morning. But at first good hay cannot be secured In any better way than that j herein described. Such hay will keep Indefinitely and come out as bright as a dollar, according to E. L. Vincent in Farm and Fireside. Toj> DrrninE Hayfields. After the hay crop" has been gathered comes the best season of the year on many farms for drawing out 'manure and spreading It on the hayfields for top dressing. After securing the hay crop there is less pressure of work than at many other seasons, and the ground is hard and is not injured by the wagon wheels. Then, too, the manure will be applied in season to be soaked into the soil by the fall rains later. This will start up the grass to give the roots a protecting coat for winter. Where the soil is sandy or gravelly fertilizing would not be profitable, as some of the fertilizer would leach down below the reach of the roots and so 1M? lost. Nei ther is such top dressing practicable on slopes that wash badly, but almost ev ery farm ans some field land that may be profitably top dressed during the month of August, says a New England farmer. The Cntnlpa For Pralrlr Planting. At the recent Illinois state horticul tural meeting I was especially inter ested in hearing my favorite tree (Ca talpa specloea)' recommended as one of the very best for general planting. I wish all farmers living on the prairies could know the value of this tree and how easily it can be raised from seed. Twelve years ago I bought one ounce of catalpa seed, planted it in a bed in the garden, and before long I had all the trees I could use. Many of these were transplanted to various parts of the farm, and I find that there Is noth lng better for shade or for producing poles and posts. When not crowded, they make beautiful trees, spreading about as much as an oak or a maple, says an Orange Judd Farmer corre spondent. Wantlne Fertiliser on Oalona. I'r,tato growers frequently use a ton of high grade fertilizer per acre, which would contain an amount of plant food far in excess of the needs of the largest crop it would be possible to grow. Such fertilizing seemed wasteful, and the Geneva (X. Y.) station says tests proved it so and that the onion grower runs risk of diminished profits when he uses 1.500 and 2,000 pounds of commercial manure per acre. and Jfofet.

''lut-jt- INDIAN AND BUFFALO. llow the Latter Tnrurd lluntrr and Chaud the Hed Man. A retired officer of the Northwest mounted police who took part In a Mis souri buffalo run forty years ago de scribes the Impression at the time ns of an earthquake. The galloping horses, the rooking mass of fleeing buf faU>, the rumbling and quaking of the ground under the thunderous pound ing. were all like a violent earthquake. The same gentleman tells how he once saw a wounded buffalo tnru on an In dian hunter. The man's horse took fright. Instead of darting sideways to give him a chance to send a last finish ing shot home the horse became wildly unmanageable and fled. The buffalo pursued. Off they rushed, rider and buffalo, the Indian craning over his horse's neck, the horse blown and fagged and unable to gain one pace Ahead of the buffalo, the great angry beast covered with foam, with eyes like fire, pounding and pounding, closer and closer to the horse till rider and buffalo disappeared over the horizon. "To this day I have wondered what became of that Indian," said the offi cer, "for the horse was losing and the buffalo gaining when they went behind Ihe bluff." This Incident Illustrates a trait seldom found In wild animals, a persistent vlndictlveness.—A. C. iJiut n Outing. The Wild Strawberry. The wild strawberry is very widely diffused over the surface of the earth, being found in the chill regions of the north as well as in the sunny climes of the south. It is not a tropical plant, however, and except on mountain sides is not found south of latitude 3S de grees north. On the European conti nent It grows extensively from Lap land and the Shetland isles to Italy and Greece. It is also found throughout western Asia, but is unknown in China and Japan. It lias grown abundantly on the bleak hills of Iceland for cen turies. It is found in America from Labrador and British Columbia to the pine woods of the southern states and on the high lands of Mexico and the Andes. The hardy plant, with its tiny scarlet berry, may be said to girdle the earth on the line of the polar circle and several hundred miles southward, ex cept that it is not found in the basin of the river Amur, in Siberia. Broogliam and Mailed Port. Lord Brougham, who as a member of the house of commons was a most abstemious man, upon his promotion to the peerage acquired less commend able habits. During his long and im passioned appeal to the lords to re frain from rejecting the reform bill of 1532 "five tumblers of mulled port, with a dash of brandy, were brought to him at Intervals." When he came to his last sentence ("I warn you, I Implore you—yea, on my bended knee I supplicate you—reject not this bill") he knelt on the woolsack, whence he slipped to the floor. It is recorded in the "Lives of the Lord Chancellors" that "he remained some time as if in prayer, but his friends, alarmed lest he should be suffering from the effects of mulled port, picked him up and placed liim safely on the woolsack." Attar of Roses. In trade the rose is very valuable, as the attars of India and Persia sell at a very high price, and there are large districts of rose gardens in which men and women are employed, the harvest months being March and ApriL In Turkey also rose farming is largely carried on, and a very fine attar is got from the rose grown in Kashmir. Even roaewater is a luxury which Is by no means to be despised as to price, but the attar of roses is immensely costly, and It takes an enormous num ber of flowers to distil even a few drops. The attar Is said to have been first discovered by the favorite wife of Jehan Jeer, through whose garden ran a canal of roaewater, on the surface of which the found a few drops of the precious -ttar or oil floating. It Was C». There was a newly wedded pair whose honeymoon trip took them across the Atlantic. The brine had been something of a yachtswoman snd was not affected by the swell, bat her mate was a bad sailor and took to the rail Iste on the first day out.

Clemency was not a Roman characteristic. It was therefore noted with some surprise that Caesar Interceded to mitigate tha severity of the punishment. The poor wretches were strangled before they were stretched on their crosses and were spared the prolongation of their torture.—James Anthony Fronde. Hun's Wondertal Stomach. The human stomach posMMee most wonderful powers of adaptation to cir cumstances. When Lieutenant Bligh and his eighteen men were cast off from the Rounty by the mutineers In an open boat, they subsisted for forty one days on a daily allowance of one tweuty-flfth of a pound of biscuit per man and a quarter of a pint of water. Dr. Tanner in 1880 fasted for forty days, subsisting, it Is said, on water alone, and Succi and other fasting men have since excelled this. Kaffirs, North American Indians and the fat boy in "Pickwick" may Well be quoted as fearful examples Of vo racity, but even their gastronomic feats are exceeded by the full grown Eski mo, who will daily eat twenty pounds of flesh and oil if he has the chance, while on the authority of Admiral Sar itcheff a Yakut of Siberia has been known to consume In twenty-four hours "the hind quarter of a large ox, twenty pounds of fat and a quantity of melted butter for his drink!" Teanrioa'i Tactlessness. Several stories are told of Tenny son's thoughtless speeches. "What fish is this?" be once asked his hostess where he was dining. "Whiting," she replied. "The meanest fish there Is," he remarked, quite unconscious that he could have wounded any one's feelings. Yet his kindness of heart was such that when his partridge wsb afterward given him almost raw he ate steadily through it for fear his hostess might be vexed. On one occasion Tennyson was very rude to Mrs. Brotherton, a neighbor at Freshwater. The next day he came to her house with a great cabbage under each arm. "I heard you like these, so I brought them," he said genially. It was his idea of a peace offering. U(htilß('s Marks on tha Body- A curious and not uncommon effect of lightning is the formation of certain arborescent or treelike marks upon the body. By early observers they were believed to be due to the presence of neighboring objects, which were pho tographed upon the skin. Various ex planations were offered by different au thorities. Richardson has shown by ex- . periment that the blood is the best elec trical conductor of all human tissues and that these marks are merely the impressions of the blood vessels on the skin, due to the action of the lightning on the blood in the vessels.—Exchange. Fear. Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deaths than famine, more failures than panics; it costs more than war, is always a failure and is never necessary. Fear weakens the heart's action, induces congestion, in vites Indigestion, produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto poisoning, which ei ther directly causes or greatly aids In the production of quite 90 per cent of all our diseases.—G. F. Meacham, M. D., in Health. The Parental Plat. "Nellie, dear," whispered the Wash ington youth, "I see my mother and rours are in earnest conversation over {here.
