Eow the Plans of the Selfish Dangers and the Mercenary Sons-in-lai Were Thwarted bj an Able-BodlcJ Lad with a kid. By Helen Whitney Clark. uiuiuiuiiiiuiaiaiuiaiaiii - "It's fur your own good, maw," urged Edmira, the youngest daughter, persuasively. "You know you're kind o' deef o" late years, an' llvln' here alone like you've bone a-doin' la pow erful dangersome. Both thinks so, too. An' he aaya you'll be a heap better off Uvln' with some o' ua." "Course you will," chimed In Becky, the widow' second daughter. She waa a sallow, jaded looking woman, with au untidy wisp of tow-colored hair twisted Into a knot and fastened at the nape of the neck with a single hair-pin made of a bent knitting-needle. "Why, you'll hev three months at a tlmo with each one o us, takln' It turn an' turn 'about, an' not a lick o' work to do! Nothing but set In the rockln-cheer from mornln' till night." To poor, tired Becky, who seldom had a moment free from household (ares and perplexities, the prospect of nothing to do but sit In a rocking chair from morning until night seemed like a foretaste of Paradise. Mrs. Coppage, however, held a dif ferent opinion. "I don't want to set an' do nothing all day," she objected, bitterly. "Nor I don't want to be drug 'round from pillar to post an' fram post to pillar! I want to stay right here in my ole home, an' milk the cow, an' churn, an' make pickles an' apple ass, an' tack carpet-rags, an' sew patchwork, an' stech!" "Now, look hero, maw, put In Ada line, the eldest of the three sisters, determinedly, "jest listen at me. It's all nons'nse to talk like that. What kin you do in a ole ramshackle o' a house like this? All alone, too, fur we can't ary one o' us leave home every whlp-stltch to come an' stay with you, as you know very well." Mrs. Coppage wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked up briskly. "I could git your cousin Margie, poor inter Phoebe's darter, to come an' stay with me. She's out o' place now, anyway, an' her brother's wife be grudges her every mouthful she eats. Bhe could milk the cow an' help with the chorea An' If you girls would on ly let me keep the ole place while 1 live It won't be many years" her voice shook a little, "I wouldn't ask fur nothing more from any o' you! There's the garden, you know, an' the milk an' butter an' the eggs. Why, we could live like cows in clover! An' besides, I could knit socks. They pay forty cents a pair over to Turkey Holler" "Now, that's all foolishness, maw," Interrupted Adallne, Impatiently. "How do you reckon you an' Margie could git 'long with only one cow to milk? An' you know yourself you had to sell the team, an' every other hoof o' stock on the place 'ceptin' the milch cow, to pay the taxes, an' back lnt'rest on the mor'gidge. An' besides, the lan's all run down so it's too poor to raise black-eyed peas!" "Not to mention that the chtmley mokes, an' the clapboards is all a blowin' off the ruff," interpolated El' lira, with a pitying look at bar moth er's sad face. The widow bowed her head on her hands, and the ready tears gushed forth. "I've lived here ever since I married your paw," she sobbed, brok enly. "He cleared the lan' hlssett, an' put out the orchard. Them pippins was jest a-comln" Into bearln' that year he died. He'd a' paid off the mor'gidge rut an' branch, afore now if he'd liv ed, poor man!" It was the mortgage ' on the old homestead which caused all the trou hie, the widow being unable to pay even the Interest, which had accumu lated for several years, and her sons- in-law having declined to assist her. . "No use throwin' good money after bad," they declared, Individually aud collectively. "Best let the ole place go. It's most eat up with interest now, an' your maw kin hev a home with us long as she lives." And despite her objections, the wid ow was forced to accept the proffered terms. "Let me stay here at least till after the sale," she pleaded, and her request was granted. "But you better git Margie to stay with you," urged Elmrra. " 'Tain't flt- tla' fur you to stay here alone, betn' you're so deef; you wouldn't skeercely bear It if the house should burn down.' The three sisters, who lived in an adjoining township, having married well-to-do farmer in that locality. had met by appointment at the old homestead to lay the ultimatum which had been decided upon before their mother. Though a little selfish, they were not really heartless, and no doubt believed the change was a necessary measure. Their husbands could very well have afforded to keep the Interest on the mortgage paid up during the widow's lifetime, but as they said, the ex pence would eat up the value of the farm and be of no especial benefit to themselves. Bo It was decided to let the mortgage be foreclosed. "Seems to ole maw is agio' awful - BY. We nay that by-and-by well fiioe The tasks that wait and watt, Forget tins;, In our foolish way, Wnile we procrastinate, That now's the fairest by-and-by Thnt yon may ever know or 1 "Sometime" Is only put to rout When men are both and when they die.

'Not much wonder, seeln' raw was sick so long, an' her livln' all alone here since he died," assented Adallne. I wanted her to come an' live with me, but she wouldn't hear to reason. Maw Is powerful sot In her way, 'pears like." Margie Filbert was very glad to keep her aunt company during the remain ing weeks of her stay at the farm, and proved a great comfort to the lone ly woman. Too bad the kitchen chlmley smokes so," she declared on the second day of her stay. "If you don't mind. Aunt Clary, I'll git Dave Tallman to come over an' see what's the matter o' it. Must be filled up with swallers nests, I reckon." Mrs. Coppage looked up from her knitting. "To be sure, Margie! I'd be real glad if he'd como. An' mebbe he'll nail the clapboards on the ruff, too. The wind a-soughln' through makes a buddy feel real creepy! I hain't been up to the loft bedroom fur I dunno the time when, jest on account o' it." Them loose clapboards does make a curl's hummln' sound," admitted Mar gie. "I've notice It myself. But I reck on Dave kin suttle 'em." "Dear, dear," sighed the widow, while her knitting-needles clicked an' accompaniment to the soliloquy, "I'm afeared It'll be a good while 'fore Dave an Margie kin marry. Dave is real stiddy, an' lndustroua, too, but farm hands is as plenty as blackberries, an' has to take what they kin git If twaim't fur that mor'gidge, now, him an' Margie could marry an' live here, an' I wouldn't hev to go trapesin' round, a-livln' here an' there, with Ad'llne an' Elmiry an' Becky. A nice time I'll hev, with ail them kids, too. Six or seven apiece they've got all round, an' the wust-behaved young uns I ever see, if they air my own gran'- chlldern!" The brown old farmhouse, embower ed In black-locust trees, its quaint gabled porches overrun with hop-vines and coral honeysuckle, took on an add ed plcturesqunesa In the hazy autumn sunshine. The widow's one cow was licking her calf across the half-broken- down rail fence, and the striped quails were calling "Bob White! Bob White!" from the neighboring corn-flelds. As the red barn hens were cackling and guinea-fowls chattering, as if they were having a contest as to which could make the most noise. Mrs. Coppage, her face well shaded by a black sunbonnet, was gathering round pippins in the near-by orchard, with a view to having apple dumplings for dinner. Dave Tallman had already arrived. and "had climbed a rickety ladder to investigate the smoky chimney. The widow's meditations, which were none of the brightest, we may be sure were suddenly Interrupted by a plerc ing shriek from Margie, and dropping her pippins, she flew to the house. "Is Dave killed?" she gasped, on dls covering the young man reclining limply on the porch, while Margie hov ered over him with the camphor bottle In her hand. "I waa afeared that lad der would break!" Dave grinned sheopioV.y. "No, Miss Coppage, the ladder didn't break," he announced, as he tenderly chafed his ankle-bone. "I I got bee-stung, an' dropped to the ground," he added, in answer to the widow's pazzled look. Mrs. Coppage started first at Dave and then at Margie In bewilderment. "Bee-ctung?" she repeated, Incredul ously. "Yes, mom. There's a swarm o' bees has made a hive o' your chlmley, Miss Coppage, The bull inside o' the ruff is lined with honeycomb, too-chock-full o' honey! It's a fact, an' no mistake. Put away the canifire, Mar gie, my ankle Is all right again, 'Twaan't nothing but a bruise an' you an' Miss Coppage come an' take a peek fur yourselves." The two women climbed gingerly up the ladder, one at a time, and discov ered the truth of Dave's assertion. The high-gabled hip roof of the old home- was a regular storehouse of honey. "No wonder you felt oreepy. Aunt Clary," laughed Margie, -"with all them bees a-hummtn' overhead! Lucky the clapboards blowed off, too, or they couldn't 'a' got In." "If I wasn't as deef as an adder I might 'a' h eared 'em," admitted Mrs, Coppage, "though I hain't slep' in that part o' the house since your uncle died." Dave looked shrewdly at the accunv ulated sweets. Part of the comb was discolored, as If with age, but a large portion was of a golden straw-color. bright and attractive. "There ain't a grain less'n a ton, comb an' all." he declared, "an' IU wuth forty c exits a pound if it's wuth. a tent." The widow was overjoyed. "If there's half as much as that It'll pay off the mor'gidge an' leave a hundred dollars to boot." she assured herself, mentally, "an' I sha'n't have to leave my home an' live 'round with the girls after all!" Is It true, maw." demanded the three daughters, as they sprang nim bly down from the red farm wagon which had brought themselves and their husbands brimful of curiosity to learn the truth as to the wonderful rumors they had heard. "Is what true?" asked Mrs. Coppage, as she welcomed her guests impartial ly. Why, that Dave Tallman found scuds o' honey In the house, an' that htm an' Margie air a-goln' to marry an' run the place?" expounded Ada lino, the self-appointed speaker, in a strident voice. The widow smiled. She wore a new wrapper, the daughters noticed, and seemed to have recovered several years of her age since the last time they had seen her. 'Oh, yes, It's true enough, so fur as It goes," she returned. "But you hain't heared the hull o' It Dave he sold the honey fur me to a big hotel In the city at a fancy price. An' I've paid off the mor'gidge, bought a couple more cows an' a new team, an' got a snug bit o' money put away In the bank." 'Wall, I declare!" chorused the sis ters, shrilly. "An you never let us know nothing 'bout it!" "Didn't hev time." smiled the wid ow, calmly. "You see. Dave was bound him an' margle should marry today, so we had to hustle like a cat eatln' sausage to get her clo's ready. Tho suremony is over, an" we air Jest about to set down to the weddln din ner. So come on an' help eat It; there's a-plenty o' good vlttles fur all." But not even the bountiful feast which was spread, and to which they did ample justice, could gllnd the sons-in-law to the egregious and Ir remediable blunder they had made. "The fat's In the Are now," they re flected. "If we had a-pald the Interest on that mor'gidge we'd 'a' had a share in the profits o' the honey blzness, to say nothing o' beln' remembered In the ole lady's will. But it's too late now." The glowing faces of Margie and Dave did not add to the happiness of the unbidden guests, who soon de parted with no attempt to disguise their Injured feelings. Fortune had knocked at their door In vain. Woman's Home Companion; QUAINT AND CURIOUS. Uncle Sam's passenger rolling stock would make a solid train 600 miles long.

To prevent worms from destroying radishes, sprinkle the ground well with salt, on each side of the row, as soon as the plants are well up. Take a sharp stick or a table fork snd work It onto the soli. The worms will soon let the radishes alone, and seek other quarters. The salt will not Injure tho radishes but seem to give them a gocd start Hints About Osts. Oats can be made to provide an abundance of food by being grown and cut while the heads are In the milky stage. The straw Is then In a palatable condition, containing portions of the nutrition which have been arrested on their way to fill out the heads. When cut In this green condition the straw and heads are cured like hay, can be bundled, and then stood on the ground for winter use. The proper way to feed oats cured In that manner Is to pass them through a foddor cutter and they will be eaten readily by horses, cattle and sheep. Finishing Barley. Barley for feeding purposes has the greatest feeding value some time before It Is dead ripe, and at this period also there Is the heaviest weight per bushel as well as the heaviest chop of grain; but for malting purposes it Is essen tial that the "maturation" process, which takes place when It Is allowed to stand till It la dead ripe, should be complete. During this time the kernel of the grain is converted from a "steely" or "flinty" to that of a mealy or starchy condition. Simultaneously the percentage of starch Increases and the albuminoids decrease. The Potato Field. One sure way of having sufficient moisture to grow a large crop of pota toes Is to cover the entire potato field with a six-Inch layer of straw. As a rule the potatoes should be allowed to come through the ground well. Then cultivate rather deep, and near tho potato row, then cover with straw. Tho first cultivation tends to prevent the young potatoes from setting on just under the straw. If straw Is applied Immediately after planting, the new tubers grow at the bottom of the straw, later, as the straw packs down, and rots away, the newly grown crop may be partially exposed to the sun great ly to the Injury of the quality of the tubers. 8heepfold and Piggery.

Sheep like good, clean and warm quar ters In winter and plenty of good fod der. There Is a great difference between oily and gummy wool.

But don't make them drink great quantities of thin slop In cold weather for the sake of the grain. Better feed both separately, A Good Dog House. Even the farm dog ought to be made comfortable and a cheap and practical dog house Is readily made out of an oil barrel that Is purchasable at any Coun try store. First, turn a jet of live steam Into the barrel for a ocuple of hours to cleanse It thoroughly down to the wood and also to lessen the smell of oil. Second, saw out of one head a round piece to make a hole of a diame ter large enough for the particular dog to go through comfortably and the bouse Is finished. Resting between two good sized stones and with a stakn two Inches square and 18 Inches or so long, driven into tho ground at the front and back of this barrel-house will render It stationary for the dog but portable for other purposes. Filled with straw or shavings this bouse will be ever dry and comfortable on ac count of Its shape for the dog to He In and particularly desirable because ver min wlU give boe and in$ alike a Garden wlrts berth on account of the petro leum smell of the barrel. This Is the dog house which one sees In use in Europe among the foresters. Rowen Hay Farmers are scarcely Inclined to give as much credit to the value of rowen hay as they should, remarks the "Cultivator." They pronounce It light and say It has but little substance to It "It does not spend well" Is a common remark. We know It Is tight when well cured, and If the feeder gives his animals the same bulk that he would of the first cutting of timo thy, he wlU be apt te feed too little to obtain the best results from It It Is so well liked by the cattle and sheep that they will sometime seem to ask for more, even when they have had enough, and It digests more readily and thus allows them to come to the next meal with a good appetite. The only fair test Is In feeding the weight as would be given of other hay and continue Its use for some weeks, mark ing results, Where we bave had time enough to do this we have seen no reason to think a ton of It was not as valuable as a ton from the first crop. We could obtain as much milk from It as from early cut clover) the sheep cast as vigorous lambs and had as much milk for them, and all young stock would thrive on It If one has but a little it may be best to use It at only one feeding a day, but we llker to save It and give the cews be fore thoy calved and the sheep before they dropped their lambs. Poultry on tho Range. Mnny who raise poultry seem to thlal; thr.t then Is no good reason why they should not pick up their entire living dnrtr.jt the summer, If given plenty of r.tnge. It Is an exceptional field that will furnish all the fowls require. Green food and animal food aro about all tho fowls will get on the rsuge, so that they should be fed at least once a day, having tho ration of grain In about tho same variety as fed during Uie winter, but leaving out the corn almost entirely. lxxik over the range and see if It Is likely to pro vide enough In the way of sharp and mall stones to give the fowls the grit they need, and If not, see that the grit-box Is placed where they ran get at It during the day, and have another In the poultry house to supply their wants In this direction night and morning. If it is necessary to feed some corn do not make It more than one-quarter of the grain ration and give It to the fowls In the "morning before they are turned on to the range. Don't forget the water during the summer, both on the range and at the houses, letting them have all the cool, fresh water they want before they are turned out In the morning and again at night be fore they go to roost Give the fowls a little care along these lines and the range will do them much more good. Indians ss Customers. Mrs. J. I. White is from Porter, I. T., where her husband runs a store. Porter Is a brand new town and Is now In the boom state. There are a great many Indians about Porter and they are the store's best customers. When Mr. White went to the terri tory, be supposed the Indians would demsnd as low priced goods as It Is possible to sell, but found out that the redskins were not just as he sized them up. The Indians want the sport iest things on the market. They turn up their noses at cheap clothes and want loud colors and costly garbs. When Christmas came It was natural to suppose that the Indians would also want costly sweets as well as oostly clothes, and Mr. White was surprised to find that the Indians passed up the high priced candles and bought the cheapest kind possible. The most they could get for the money was the kind they wanted. The Indians argued that they ate the .candy and no one saw It, but with the clothing It was different, as every one saw the clothes they wore. The red man is much more particular about what he puts on his back than what he puts in bis stomach. Emporia Gazette. Way to "Get Rich Quick."
