A Singular
Occurrence
By W1LLARD DLAKEMAN
Mrs. Elliot "Walker come homo ut 5
o'clock In the afternoon and saw her
husband, 'who had arrived before her,
Just going Into the library. lie 6eemed
agitated.
"Whafa the matter, dear?" she asked.
"Nothing."
This was all that passed between
them at the time, Mrs. Walker went
upstairs, and Just as sho reached the
upper landing she saw a woman's hat
sinking below the top step of the rear
staircase. Mrs. Walker ran after her,
saw her turn toward the front of the
house and into the library. The lady
ran Into the room and saw n well
dressed, rather good looking woman
standing near her husband.
"WelL I doclarel" exclaimed the as
tonished wlfo.
"Well?" said the husband, looking
from one (woman to the other.
Mrs. Walker was too full for utter
ance. The stranger cast her eyes' on
the floor. When the former found her
voice sho cast a troubled glanco at her
husband and said In a trembling voice:
"Oh, Billot, to think that I should
have been so deceived In you."
"I know no more of this woman thau
you do," was tho reply. "If you doubt
me ask her."
The wife turned to tho stranger, but
spoke no word. Why should sho? The
woman acknowledged her guilt by her
appearance. Her head was bowod; her
eyes were glued to the floor.
"For one thing," said Mrs. Walker,
"I give her credit. Sho cant Ho as you
can."
"My dear" Mr. Walker regarded
his wife with an Injured look; then,
turning a severe glance upon the wo
man, he asked:
"What do you mean by this behav
ior?" "Elliot," she said without raising her
head, "I am lost. My husband must
sooner or later know of this, and I
shall be an outcast from my home."
"Elliot! You call me by my first
name you, whom I have never seen
before and you admit that you came
here to meet me in my wife's absence
when I have only been at home a few
minutes. This is Incomprehensible."
"Oh, heavens!" exclaimed the wife.
"It Is plain cnougTi to me. Elliot, I
know your unconquerable assurance.
Were tills woman as adept in playing
a part as you, your game would have
worked admirably. As It Is you are
caught Would that I could be deceiv
ed; then I would not suffer!"
"My dear"
"Never call me that again! Madam,
leave this house at once!"
The intruder, still with bowed head,
passed slowly from the room into tho
hall. The front door closed behind her,
and husband and wlfo wcro left alone
together.
"This la the moat remarkable oc
currence of my life," said Mr. Walker.
"And tho moat crushing in mine,"
ndded the wife.
"I give you my word of honor that I
never saw that woman before"
"Do you take me for a fool? Did
not the creature admit what you deny?"
For this the husband had no reply.
"Leave me," he said, "to regain my
equanimity. I am In no condition to
think. There must be an explanation
if I can but hit upon it. I came homo
only a few minutes before your arrival,
much worried about a matter of busi
ness. I have a note coming due to
morrow and no funds with which to
meet It On top ot that trouble comes
this one."
The wife silently left tho room. What
was there to be said? The proof
against her husband was absolute. His
business trouble was an additional mis
fortune for her as well as for him.
Going Into another room, she threw
herself on a sofa and gave way to
immoderate grief, while her husband
was walking the floor In the Hbrary.
After awhile sho arose, dried her eyes
and went back to the library.
"What Is tho amount of this note?"
she asked.
"Six thousand dollars."
"Though you have ceased to be what
you have been to mo, you are still my
logal husband and I am still pecuniarily
Interested in your affairs. My Jewels
will bring more than $0,000. I will go
and get them for you."
She went out of the room without
having given hlm.n look. Going up to
her bedroom, sho opened, a drawer In
which she kept o few ornaments sho
used from day to day, Intending also
to remove tho bulk of her Jewels from
a safe. Those In tho drawer were gone.
A sudden idea flashed through her
brain. She flew llko a swallow down
the stairs, ran into the library and
threw her arms about her husband's
neck.
"Billot, forgive. mo 1" .
"What tho dickens"
"Oh, tho blessed relief I How happy
I am!"
"Explain, for heaven's sake."
"The Jewols are gone."
"The Jewels! Goner
"Yea; the woman must have taken
them. When caught she invented a
plan to get away Instead of being tak
en with the Jewols on her."
"Well, I'll be hanged! Have you lost
.all year jaweu?"
"No; Mdy a few I kept out of the
safe."
"HeTen bo praised!"
"My dear," said Mr. Walker, sod
denly ramming confidence, "let this bo
warning to you. Trust mo always.1

TIMELY HINTS
FOB FARMERS
The Dairy Water Supply.
A supply of. wator is nocessary to a
flalry. Water from a considerable
depth is best as it is generally pure
and cold. To keep the water pure it is
necessary to protect it from contamina
tion. The top of the well should be
covered and tho ground leading up to
it sloped or graded so thnt surface wa
ter will drain away from the top of
the well quickly. Cows and other nnl
mats should be kept from standing
around the well. This can bo done by
putting a barbed wire fence around It,
with swinging or self closing gate. No
filth or manure f.hould bo stored or
piled within a hundred feet of the well.
Water from a shallow well, less than
forty foot deep, within a hundred feet
of any building should never bo used
for washing milk utensils.
Potatoes For Hogs.
It has been found by experiment that
100 to 450 pounds of boiled potatoes
ore worth 100 pounds of mljd grain
for pig feeding. At tho Wisconsin ex
periment station potatoes were cooked
In an open kettle, using ns little water
as possible, and cornmeal added to
form a thick mush, which was eaten
by the pigs with great relish. Raw po
tatoes fed In too large quantities will
produce scours, and potato peelings
when fed to rattlo may produce gas
tritis, which Is usually fatal. The po
tato peeling Is especially dangerous In
the spring after tho potato starts to
sprout.
Holstoin and Jereey Milk.
The total solids not fat In 100 poundsof
Holsteln-Frloslan milk are 8.7 pounds.
In 100 pounds Jersey milk there arc 0.S
pounds. In other words, there Is more
than one pound more of solids In 100
pounds of Jersey sklmmilk than In 100
pounds of Holsteln sklmmilk. The
Jersey sklmmilk contains approximate
ly 12 per cent more solids not fat than
Holsteln-Frloslan sklmmilk. Hoard's
Dairyman.
Weak Kneed Colts.
Dr. Smced says that many a crooked
limbed colt can be helped by using a
mixture of alcohol, two parts, and olive
oil, one part on the knees and tendons
twice per day and with thorough hand
rubbing. Bach time straighten the leg
nnd bring it Into place several times.
This will stretch the tendons and loosen
up the Joints and ligaments. Don't be
afraid to rub and manipulate the legs
into proper form.
GREEN FOOD FOR
EGG PRODUCTION.
Fowls Need Vegetables to Do
Their Best In Winter,
Some kind of vegetable food Is now
regarded as essential to the greatest
success In winter egg production, says
W. It. Purdue in American Cultivator.
Cabbage is perhaps one of the best
green foods for winter use, as it tends
to keep the fowls In good health, and
they relish it very much. Cabbago
heads can be chopped up and cooked
with mash or they may be hung up
whole in the henhouse for the fowls to
pick at
Turnips, beets and the small potatoes
not large enough for table use can bo
saved for poultry to good advantage.
Turnips are good as an appetizer. They
may bo chopped fine and fed raw or
else cooked with the mash. Beets also
may be cooked In with the mash as
well as a limited amount of potatoes.
It is best not to feed potatoes very lib
orally unless the fowls are receiving
plenty of animal food.
Along with vegetables clover Is a vol
uablo winter food, whether fed dry or
steamed and fed in a bran mash.
Where clover hay is fed to the stock
tho shattcrlngs can be saved for tho
hens, or a special supply of the hay can
bo put aside for tho use of tho poultry
flock. This should be chopped up into
short lengths and steamed before feed
ing. The Omnivorous Goat
It is claimed that goats will eat tho
following: nazel, crab, blackberry, ce
dar, hemlock, holly, willows, haws,
buck, squawberrios, hickory, sagebrush,
older, greasewood, sumac, ash, grape,
Jack oak, mahogany, vine, maple, fir,
rosebush, cherry, alder, salal, upple,
poplar, all kinds of oak, plum, elm and
many others. As to weeds, everything
nppcars to be to their taste, even to the
poison Ivy, which some breeders say
they cat safely provided they have a
sufficient variety of other weeds to
vary their diet. Drowsing gives tho
venison or gamo flavor to the flesh and
for that reason is to be preferred. Fed
as sheep or cows the flesh has the mut
ton flavor.
Skin Disease In Horses,
The following powder given each day
is said to be good for skin disorder in
horses: Finely powdered iodine of pot
ash, four ounces; granulated sugar and
common salt of caeh one pound. Mix
well together and divide into thirty-two
powders. Fed no corn, but let the
grain feed bo oats and wheat bran.
Use tincture of lodlna on the lumps
orery kpcood day until the skin be
eom Itttio ttoder.

To the face with regular features

WHEN A ROOM IS STUFFY.
Closeness May Be Overcome When
Windows Can't Be Opened.
There is no greater purifier of air
than open windows, but sometimes In
sickrooms this method of changing the
air Is Impossible.
HaTe you ever tried overcoming
cloaeness by carrying a rolled burning
newspaper through a sickroom? Equal
ly good is n tablespoonful of vinegar
ignited over an alcohol lamp.
An atomizer for spraying cologne can
be used with toilet wuter or witch hazel
with refreshing effect
Thore are special spirit lamps that
have a connection with a platinum ball
attachment that are excellent to per
meate n room witli purifying odors.
There are special mixtures for burning
In these lamps, but a good cologne or
toilet water answers.
The lamp burns until the platinum
ball grows rod hot: then the flame Is
extinguished. The vaporization of the
cologne Is Increased by coming In con
tact with the heated metal, and tho
room is soon fragrant.
A quick way to cool a room Is to wet
a small crib sheet with cologne or wa
ter highly scented with perfumed bath
tabled!, nang in a draft of air or
shake the sheet lightly while still wet
Burning lump camphor is favored by
somo nursos. especially in sultry
woathcr, as mosquitoes avoid the odor.
The Trousers Coat.
Extremes in Juvenile styles are to be
met with on every hand, but probably
the limit has been reached in the
coat illustrated, which Is decidedly
"Frcnchy."
The material used is a moire poplin
in a lovely shade of tan. Belt, cuffs

and narrow turned down collar are of
moleskin.
As you see, tho coat Is exceedingly
abbreviated at tho bottom and nar
rows into almost the width of a man's
trousers leg. On a tall, stylish child
thla coat Is stunning.
Substitute For Hot Water Bott.
The following suggestion is taken
from the Farm and Fireside, where it
is published in tho houiewifc's depart
ment: "For people with steam heat old
magazines stuck in the radiators will
te frund a fine substitute for hot wa
ter bottlos. Magazines so heated uev
r burn and when placed in a bed or a
baby's carriage bold the beat for a
loaa ttai"
ARK YOUR KIDNEYS SICK?
If you want to get well and stay
well you must make the Kidneys
well. Tho Kidneys are tho most
important organs in the body: they
do the most work and as a conse
quence get out of order quickest.
You cannot run a great piece of
machinery without attention of some
kind. Neither can you expect to
havo good health if you fall to look
after your Kidney Machinery.
The blood passes through tho Kid
neys thousands of times a day, as,
often as through the heart, and this
Is going on every minute ot our
lives.
If the Kidneys are well they filter
Just so much blood, but If they are
sick or weak from any cause they
leave the poison In tho blood, and
this 'poison poisons the entire sys
tem. When you consider their great
work and tho ease with which they
become deranged, can you wonder at
ill-health and sickness?
Can you wonder at the alarming
increase and prevalency of Kidney
trouble?
Bloodine cures all Kidney, Liver,
Bladder and Blood Diseases.
Bloodine contains Just the nour
ishment required by nursing moth
ers. The greatest system tonic in the
world.
Sick Kidneys are positively cured
by Bloodine.
If run down, worn out, tire at
least exertion, Bloodine is Just what
you need.
