THE CITlZKiV, IVrJVteSDAY, JITA' 6, 1010. on Which Was the Rich Han? on Anthony Forrest, returning to Ills suburban homo after n long and tir ing day In tho city, was conscious of nn unusual sense of weariness and depression. Thero was no particular reason for It, for though the day had been well occupied, Its events had marched Btnoothly, and all his under taking seemed to promise success. New contracts had been signed that very day which would bring his firm into the very front rank In their own particular line, and which would prac tically stamp out the slight opposition which they had been doing their best to got rid of for some time. Curiously enough, the man who the Blgnlng of tho contracts would most seriously affect, had traveled by the same train, and alighted with For rest at Wimbledon station. Forrest lived at the farslde of Wimbledon Common, In a palatial home which had little of Suburbia about It; tho other man, Paul Chavasse, lived not far from the stntlon, In ono of a row of neat villas. The reluctance was on Forrest's side, for ho knew perfectly well that what had happened that day at a di rectors' meeting In the Cannon Street Hotel would mean the practical ex tinction of tho smaller man. Ho assumed that Chavasse was In Ignorance of the prospect In front of him, otherwise his greeting would hardly have been so friendly. Forrest was the older man and a typical city magnate, large, Important, breathing efficiency and success at overy pore. The other was a tall, spare man, about forty-six, but looking older, with a face of singular refinement and delicacy, and a smile which Invariably won him a place In people's hearts. Forrest, on the other hand, seldom smiled. His face was somewhat heavy and forbidding, though he had good features and a certain dignity just perhaps bordering on pomposity. "Ah, good evening, Mr. Chavasse," he observed, raising his hat with a slightly punctilious air. "Good evening. You are walking home; may I have the pleasure of taking the same path? I always have a good walk before dinner, and that Is the advantage you have In tho breadth of the common to cross." "It Is not so good on a Winter morning with the wind due northeast," observed Forrest grimly, but did not eay that ho would be pleased to have a companion on his walk. Chavasse observed the lack of cor diality in Forrest's manner, but did not suffer It to damp his spirits, which were very good. Contrary to all For rest's Ideas of the man, he had very few cares, he took life simply and easily, and had not worn his powers threadbare with the strife of com petition. "It Is a privilege to live out here, especially at tho opening of the year," observed Chavasse, breathing tho delicious airs of April with a keen en joyment. "It Is fairly good as far ns It goes, but I should like to go further out Into tho real country. If I could sell my houso without dropping too much over It, I shouldn't hesitate a mo ment." "But It is a beautiful place, and so secluded. It seems to me you could hardly do better even In the country." Forrest shrugged his shoulders. "After all, It is London, and when a man has been grubbing In that un holy city all day ho wants to get clean away." "I suppose you feel It so," said Chavasse with a slight wonder In his eyes. "Would you propose to retire from active city life altogether then?" Anthony Forrest looked surprised. "Not at all. Retirement Is a fatal take for a man, almost at any ago. It has shortened more lives than any known disease. No, I shall never re tire from city life." "You like It?" Forrest shrugged his shoulders. "It has become a second nature. What about you?" Chavasse smiled. "Oh, T am cast In a different mold. I am naturally attached to the coun try In which I was born, and If I could afford it I should live there entirely. But I like London, and city life within moderation. The strain of big respon sibilities, however, Is irksome, and quickly depresses me. I have Just had what I consider to be a stroke of un commonly good luck this very after noon." "Ah, what Is that?" Inquired For rest quickly. "I have had tho offer of an excel lent situation, which will give mo a comfortable salary and commit mo to nothing excopt bo many hours of hon est work In a day. I shall have no hand nor any stake In the enterprises which will come and go, and be settled without my knowledge or Interference. I have accepted It; subject to my wife's ratification of my promise,' "May I Inquire, without seeming rudo, where the situation is, and what is Its nature?" inquired Anthony Forrest, Btlll with the same appear ance of eager Interest. "Why, certainly. It le with Messrs. Hargreavcs & Butler, in Enstcheap; you, of course, know tho firm, "I do; you surprise me very much. They are very exclusive. It la an hon or to be associated with them. I saw Mr. Hargreaves .this morning at a directors' meeting rn the Cannon Street Hotel." "He came to bo directly from that," observed Chavaeso, with a smile. "And did he tell yon what passed thero rolatlvo to your own firm?" "Oh, yes; he told mo we had been practically wiped out, but I was not in tho least surprised." -Was he?" "Hargreavcs? I don't know, I did not Inquire. Ho understood that my firm could not stand agaliftt the Syndi cate, and, bo fnr ns the members of It are concerned, the dissolution will not make much difference." ''You know this, yet you were friendly to me, Chavasse. I could havo prevented what happened to-day." "Yes, but why should you havo pro vented It? You pursue ono policy, I another. Thnt wo see from entirely different standpoints need not make us enemies." "You seem to know nil about my policy," Bald Anothony Forrest drily. "Would you mind defining It?" "You nro a born financier, Mr. For rest, and one In actual being likewise. Surely that explains everything." "And your own policy?" Chavasse smiled again, and gave his shoulders n small, good-natured shrug. "Mine Is simple, too, though to you It might seem complex, or oven Incomprehensible. I want peace to live. I have a soul as well as a body, and I have too much respect for my soul to throw myself absolutely Into tho vortex." "But It Is a man's duty to do his utmost wherever he Is placed. You have a family, I understand," said Forrest quickly. "Three, all grown up nnd launched, two of them married, the other. going to bo next month. None of them are rich, nor ever will be, but they are contented with simple things. There Is only myself and my wife now to be considered, and I am certain this news I convey to her this evening will make her very happy." "Yet you step from a responsible to a subordinate position I Will you tell me how much Hargreaves offered you? I don't put these questions out of vul gar curiosity, but rather because you Interest me. I have never met anyone holding quite these views. They are a little unusual." "Not so rare as you would think," said Chavasse. "Hargreaves offered me five hundred pounds a year, with out any prospect of a rise. He was perfectly clear on that point. There will be no speculation or possibility about it; that Is why It recommends Itself to me." "Five hundred a year! It Is not much. Can you live comfortably on that? I spend in my family not much short of five thousand, and do not" he hesitated a moment, and then add ed with bitterness, "do not get very much happiness, and certainly no peace out of It" "We shall save on five hundred, and have something to give away," re plied Chavasse. "It Is all a matter of Individual taste, of what constitutes one's Ideas of the actual necessities of life." "To-morrow is Sunday, Chavasse; may I take the liberty of Inviting my self to your house, about four o'clock In the afternoon, to a cup of tea?" "Most certainly. It will give us the greatest pleasure, more especially as none of the children will be with us to-morrow, through an usual com binatlon of circumstances. Sunday is their day. They come early and leave late; all of them and the 'In-laws' seem to find the old nest as accepta ble as our own children. Thank God, we are all very happy together. It Is my dear wife that has done that. She Is the home-maker. I must go back to her now, and rejoice her soul with my news." They stood still, neither noting that they had arrived at the moment of the imposing gateway of Tudor Lodge, the residence of Anthony For rest. A "carriage swept through the gates in front of them, and a handsome, richly dressed woman gave a slightly supercilious bow, as both men raised their hats. "That Is ray wife, Chavasse, and she Is, unfortunately for me, not a homcmaker. I have had many ambi tions In ray life, and have realized a goodly share of them, but I realize at this moment that, as far as per sonal happiness Is concerned, the un ambitious man is miles ahead of me. I would give the half of my Income now for your quiet peace of mind." Chavasse was at a lose what to say to this strange speech. He mere ly looked sympathetic and shook very warmly the hand offered to him. Then he retraced his steps some what slowly across the common. He was not so absorbed but that simple things on tho way gave him a particu lar Joy; a llttlo clump of golden bloom on a sheltered breadth of gorse, tho ambitious fern fronds bursting Into newness of life, tho unblown daffo dills In a neighbor's garden when he reached tho little suburbau terrace all these things were observed, and added to tho sum of his content. A sweet and still "youthful face above the window blind at the sitting-room window brightened at his coming, and when she opened tho door, and ho closed it again quickly, he suddenly took her In his arms. "Why, Paul, whence this this most loverllko manner?" she asked, with a little smile of coquetry that was whol ly sweet. "Bless my Lucy," tie said. In rather a full though quiet voice, and almost immediately repeated In a musing voice the words lie had read that very morning at family prayers before he left the houso: "My peoplo shall dwell In a peace able habitation, and In sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places." And again, "Biassed are ye that sow be side all waters." David Lyall, In Brit ish Weekly. AROUND THE FARM Feeding tho Work Horses. Horses thnt are worked steadily are likely to have good appetites nnd good digestive powers, writes William Pur due In the Amerlcnn Cultivator. They must havo thciu If they arc to do their best. Such animals require n liberal feed, yet they must not be overfed. A good many farmers, with plenty of feed on hand, feed too much rather than too little. About two pounds of J grain nnd hay per day for each 100 pounds of weight will keep n horse in good working condition, oven when tho work required Is heavy; Thus twelve pounds of oats or this amount of oats and corn mixed and twelve pounds of good timothy liny will serve a 1,200 pound iorse ono day. When tho work Is light a less propor tion will answer. For a long time oats and timothy hay have been considered the horse man's standard ration. A ration com posed of tbeso two feeds has always been considered a safe one, which It Is. Oats are the best all round grain for the work horse, yet through the corn belt, whero corn Is the prlnclp.il crop, It Is tho principal grain fed to many horses and with quite satisfactory results. A goodly number of farmers, however, feed a ration composed of half corn and half oats, and this Is better than either all corn or all oats. At any rate, this gives tho horses a variety of feeds, and 1 think that no mistake can bo made In feeding such a ration. Somo bran, shorts, ollnieal, cottonseed meal, or gluten feed should bo used to vary tho ration. Horses greatly relish a vnrlety of feed and will do better on a varied ration. Clover Pasture For Pigs. Pasturo is not only tho cheapest feed, but the best, for brood sows and lit ters. The pigs need the exerclao that a run on pasturo gives, as well as the succulent feed that tho pasture af fords. Grain Is high In price com pared with that of a few years ago, and ono must make use of the not only cheaper but better feeds that a good pasturo affords. An acre of clover will niako as much meat as an acre of corn whero used Judiciously and costs far less to grow. "Pigs in clover;" Is an expression which now comes to mean something for nearly nothing. If you have a clo ver pasturo for your pigs this summer Just try sowing Dwarf Essex rape right on top of it and let iho pigs tramp it in. It will come up Just about the tlmo tho clover begins to get dry and tough and will make excellent late pasture. Later, If It gets too big, Just run a mower over It and cut it back. Both It and the clover will como up again fresh and green In a few days. Forest Henry In Northwestern Agriculturist, Tho Farm Team. From our experience and observa tion, if we were selecting the farm team, we havo decided that the medi um sized horse, rather blocky tn build, Is best adapted to tho general farm work. While others might bo willing to differ with us, we feel that a few reasons why we would make this choice would not bo out of place hero. Wo would choose tho medium slzo and tho blocky build becauso these an imals aro generally more actlvo than those that aro heavier in weight. They often walk faster, and when turning nt the end of tho furrow or corn row they do so with less danger to them selves, with greater ease and in less time than docs tho horse that Is extra large. Then when used on soft ground they will often enduro more, as they do not sink Into tho moist soil as much as the heavier animal. Amer ican Cultivator. Horses Need Exercise. Horses require more exerclso and will suffer more for lack of exercise if kept confined than any of tho other farm animals. Every horse owner has noticed how when let out of tho stable and turned Into a pasturo the horse that Is In good health will run and caper around tho field for a consider able time before beginning to eat. This clearly proves that tho animal craves exercise. Other farm animals require some exercise, but nono ever shows a desire to exercise so violently as tho horse. So, no matter what the season, tho horses should have plenty of exercise. Weighing Hogs and Feed. Ono farmer reports that ho drives bis fattculng hogs over the scales once a week and also weighs tho feed ho has given them during this tlmo. In this way ho knows Just what they are doing for Jilra and whether thoy are making or losing money. If the former ho knows whether they aro do ing their best, and if tho latter bo bunts for the cause. This docsu't take much tlmo nnd does pay. Kansas Farmer. The Egg Producer. The policy of annually disposing of tho bens, especially tho ones that have proved thdlr worth, and keeping un tried pullots is a poor one. If eggs are tho object tho ben that has "made good" as a layer should not bo discard ed until tbreo or four years old. Often she may still bo valuablo when even older than this, but It will generally bo found truo that a hen's usefulness practically ends at tho ago of tbreo years. Fame. "Why are Btatues erected to famous men, father?" said a child. , "So that they may bocomo known, dear." was tho answer. Exchange. SCHEME FOR POULTRY HOUSE. Best Arrangement is Tight Building Adjoining Open One. One of tho greatest expenses that any poulterer has Is the buildings he roqulros. Most of us think It neces sary to keep poultry In buildings, but unquestionably a part of these build ings may bo open and lnoxpenslvo, and yet affording protection from wind, snow and rain, writes Holllster Sage In Fanner's Voice. Tho best arrangement Is a tight building ad joining an open one, the former for night occupancy and laying, where tho fowls may bo shut in If tho weath er be extreme. This need be only one-third the size of tho open shed, but must Join It, so the hens need not go out in the wind and snow. Tho floor of this shed must be made of matched stuff so that no wind can come up through it, and should be covered six Inches deep with litter. Into this the whole grain Is thrown, that tho fowls may have tho needed exerclBO. Tho nmount of cold that hens will endure and continue to lay If kept busy exceeds belief. The roof, of course, must be tight, as no moisture must be allowed In tho litter. The roof should be a long ono to tho north, with n short one sloping south. Under tho eaves of the south ern roof Is nailed a sheet the entire length and wide enough to cover the open front. This Is made of burlap or old bran sacks, and In a loop at tho bottom rests a light pole to keep It down so the wind and snow may be excluded at night. As soon ns the sun Is up In the morning It Is rolled up and tied to ropes under the eaves. In spring and summer these scratch- Scratching Shed Shade, ing sheds are not required, and are employed In raising large Hocks of chickens. It Is best to begin by setting a brooder in one corner of each, In which to raise 75 or 100 Incubator chicks, and this net faced houso Is their homo, with a yard attached, un til cold weather, when they are chang ed to flocks for layers of fattening. Tho scratching sheds are then In re quisition again. It is not difficult to build them In sections that may bo taken apart and moved readily from one part of the grounds to another. Tho heaviest section Is the floor, but this Is managed easily on two wheel barrows. Preserving Eggs. A crreat many experiments In pre ! serving eggs with water glass havo demonstrated that when properly done It Is ono of the best methods In use. Water glass Is silicate of sodium and It may be purchased at any good drug store at from 80 cents to per gai lnn. Proparo tho solution by using water that has been boiled and cooled to or dlnary tomperature. To fifteen quarts of water add one auart of water glass. Put th oeeb In a clean jar. one that has. been wgU washed and thoroughly Maided"! nndpouf liquid enough over them to cover the eggs completely. Use only perfoctly fresh eggs. No method can keep nn egg good that has already commenced to spoil. Do not r, ' ' i.J r: - i'.T . i, Wasn me eggs ueiuic yauiuue) iuoiu, rr , t, 4n I, n rnl rlnrlr Til n ' n feach day's" gathering of eggs are bet ter If packed Immediately, success Hnnnnds on doing everything In con nection with It right nnd nt the prop er time. Practical Poultry Points. Feod raw vegetables, cabbage, beets and turnips to tho poultry In the morning, or at noon, but not at night. Dry and warm feed Is better after noontlmo. It Is a mistake to think that a hen should scratch all tho tlmo for a liv ing. She needs time to rest, as well as other two-legged creatures, and corn should bo flung to her each day, It Is a mistake to keop chickens of different age together. March pullets, If properly cared for, will begin laying in November. Besldo this considera tlon, the younger chicks are robbed by tho older ones, and thus prevented from thriving as thoy should. If the combs of hens turn pale, change tho feed and give them good ventilation. Also givo them out of door exercise. Sort your eggs well before market lng. Wash dirty eggs. A few dirty eggs will spoil the looks of a whole batch. Eggs that have been shipped by express should not be set until thoy have rested a day. Fresh Air for Chicks. Raise your chicks outdoors at all seasons of the year; give them every opportunity to get fresh air and sun shine. Keep them In small flocks un til they roost regularly. Keep the roofs of all brooders and coops water tight Dampness Is fatal to chickens, old or young. If coops leak, cover with tar roofing or canvas painted with sev eral coats of white lead. Thin Turkeys. Turkey shippers and producers who market tnelr own birds should not for- fet that the markets do not want thin turkeys. HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE Device For Removing FrQit Jar Caps. An implement for removing the caps of glass fruit Jars when they stick has been Invented by a Pennsylvania man and will be found a great convenience by housewives. A strong metal band formed into a circle tho circumference of a Jar top Is attached to a cutter blade, which hns a handlo at one end. The band, which has a free end and acts as a spring, Is fitted around the cap of a Jar and tho cutter blade In- . sorted between the cap and tho rub ber band that encircles the mouth of ; tho Jar to make the latter air tight Tho knife Is then moved around the . Jar till It has loosened the cap suffi ciently to permit Its removal. The ad mission of air through the path of tho knife is enough to accomplish this, and . it will then be easy to unscrew the cap. This method is an Improvement i over other methods whereby tho re- i calcitrant cap Is gripped with an lm- ; plcmcnt which In somo cases results , In the breaking of the Jar. Grease Extractor. A grease extractor Is a very nseful thing to keep for removing stains-from dresses. It can bo made by beating together in a mortar one-fourth pound each of soft soap and fuller's earth, Form the paste Into cakes and let them "1 rrr 7 linn nrnrifn1 fftr lien mnlofnn the'grensy spot with water, rub It with the cake and allow tho latter to dry on. Then rub the spot wltb a sponge and warm water. To clean paint that Is not varnished tako a flannel nnd squeeze nearly dry out of warm water and dip In a little whitening. Apply to the paint, and with a little rubbing It will instantly remove grease, smoko or other stains. Wash with warm water and rub with a soft cloth. It will not Injure the most dellcato color, makes It look like new and lasts much longer than If cleaned with soap and water. Ices and Sherbets. Lemon Sherbet Mix three-quarters of a cup of sugar with the Juice of ono nnd a half lemons. When it bas stood until nearly melted add slowly two cupfuls of milk. If you do not mix carefully the lemon julco will curdle tho milk. Pour Into freezer and freeze. Tho sherbet will bo smooth, solid and as. white as milk. Orange Ice. Six oranges, six lemons, Julco and riud, tbreo pounds of sugar, four quarts of water. Mix well the Juice and sugar. Let "it stand awhile. Add water and mix well. Freeze. Lemon Custard. Grate the rind of one lemon, take ono cupful of sugar and mix thorough ly with two rounded tablespoonfuls of flour, beat tho yolks of two eggs and mix with sugar, flour, lemon Juloo and rind. After mixing tbeso add butter tbe slzo of a walnut (melted), then ono cupful of milk, and stir all. Last of all whip tbe whites of tho two eggs stiff nnd mix In. Put In crust same as for any custard nnd bako slowly so as to bake without wbeylng It Tomatoes Canned Whole. Select small round tomatoes, scald by putting In wlro basket and plung ing once or twice in boiling water, remove skins nnd put tomatoes in jars, add tcaspoonful of salt to each Jar, fill tho Jars with cold water, put Jars in boiler and boll ten minutes after reaching boiling point. Tomatoes aro tho most easily kept of all vegetables. To Distribute Fruit In Cake. It is often disappointing when cut ting a fruit cako to find that most of the fruit has settled to the bottom. To remedy this put half of tho batter in tho pan beforo tho fruit is added, then put tho fruit to tho remainder of tho batter in tho bowl, stir well nnd add to that in tho pan. Tho fruit is thus evenly distributed. Potatoes au Qratln. Slice ono quart of cold boiled pota toes. Put layer of potatoes in a bak ing dish, season with salt and pepper and grated cheese. Mako a sauco of ono pint of milk and ono tablespoonful of flour. When this reaches tho boil ing point or becomes thick pour over the potatoes and bako for half an hour. Whipping Cream. When cream is whipped a bit too long it will granulate To bring it bock to tho right consistency add milk, about two tablespoonfuls to a half pint of cream. Then turn tho beater a few times.
