"No fear of that," replied Jacques conttdently, as lie tied the calf fast end started on his three leagues' Jour ney from Etrieourt for St. Quentln, 'Arrived at the city he went straight to the butcher Vatln, delivered the calf end received the stipulated sixty francs. As he drove away he noticed that the clock Indicated a quarter to Bine, and Bald to himself that he would easily get back to the farm by dinner time. He drove slowly along the street, peering Into the shop windows. One which bore the sign, "Vlnsse Soeurs, 'Modistes," attracted hlra so strongly that be drew up to the curb and halted to feast his eyes on the marvels dis played In the window. There were bats and bonnets of wonderful com plexity and riotous colors, and ribbons of rich velvet and glittering satin. What especially aroused his admira tion was a big straw hat, patriotically domed with blue-bottles, daisies and popples and broad green ribbons. He dismounted and stood before the win dow, with his eyes and mouth wide open. Some day, be thought, he might be able to buy such a hat for Clemen tine. His mouth expanded into a broad smile as he conjured up the picture of lier pretty face framed In this work of art, and thought how pleased she .would be to receive such a gift from him. Clementine and he were em ployed on the same farm, and, if not yet declared lovers, were in a fair way of becoming such. His revery was rudely Interrupted by the pressure of a heavy hand on his shoulder. lie turned and saw his old comrade, Zc phyrin, nnd several other people, men and women, who had stopped and were laughing at his astonishment. "I didn't know you with that thing on," said Jacques, pointing to the oth er's high hat. Then his eyes wandered over the company. The men wore high hats and frock coats or, dress eoats of various vintages; the women tad on silk dresses nnd shawls em broidered with flowers. One girl was dressed entirely In white and wore a wreath of orange tlossoms and a voluminous veil. "A wedding party?" said Jacques. "Yes, and I am the bridegroom," responded Zephyrin with a laugh. "Come with us. We are going to lunch eon." Jacques declined, saying that lie must be home by noon. Zephyrin insisted. "But I can't go like this," said Jacques, pointing to his rough blouse and great shoes. Then the bridegroom became angry. But still Jacques shook big head. Then the bride, a plump and vivacious little woman, told her hus band that he ought not to irtsist, as the gentleman evidently did not find the society to his liking. This decided Jacques and he accepted the Invita tion. The bridal procession resumed Its march; Jacques following with his cart. On the way Zephyrin told his mother-in-law. why he had insisted on Jacques Joining them. "The cart will be handy if any of us (?et tired." The bridegroom's happy Idea was received with approval by til. The stars were shining. It was mid night No sound was heard In the fleserted street except the noisy rattling of the cart over the stones. Jacques steered a devious course out of the city. He muttered Incoherent words,' the most frequent of which were: "The calf."' Then he felt his leather purse and swore. Only 20 of the 00 francs remained. He was quite sure, for lie had counted the money several times by the light of his lantern. It iwas an easy sum to count, for the purse contained JusJ one 20-franc piece. This is how it came nbout. After luncheon he had been for going home. a lew nours late, what was that? He could explain It and the master was gooa-numored. But taking a whole ay off was a very different matter. He must go home. His companions urged him to stay, the ladies employed tceir most seductive arts, and finally me Driuegroom brought forward very plausible argument. , The party iwas going out to Estrees on the Etri eourt road. To accompany It to that point would not delay Jacques greatly una men lie could go on his wav Jacques yielded. At Estrees they found a village festival In progress.

Jacques forgot all about going home and spent the. whole day at Estrees. He also pent, very soon, what little money he had of his own, and then he begnu on his master's. The money went rapidly. At sunset the wedding party packed it self into the cart and returned to the city, laughing and singing. Jacques drew a long sigh as he passed the mil liner's shop and saw the gorgeous bon net again. Yielding to a sudden im pulse, he stopped the horse, handed the reins to the bridegroom and rushed into the shop. When he came out he bad a big paper parcel in his hands and twenty francs less In his purse. He stood his companion's rail pry with good humor, but at dinner, which was the next event on the programme, he drank recklessly to drown uU remorse. When the party broke up his companions had to help bim into the cart. Hence, as has been said, be found himself driving homeward at midnight In a very-cloudy frame of mind. As he drove on the - weather became cloudy, too.. The stars vanished, the wind blew and presently the rain fell torrents. Jacques had become slightly sobered and thoroughly wretch ed. Every few minutes be started at what seemed the plaintive cry of the calf lying bound behind him as In the morning. He turned and saw only the flamboyant hat. Then he thought of his almost empty purse nnd trembled at his master's wrath. With .unsteady hands he drew the purse from his pocket, took out the lonely gold piece nnd stared at It vacantly. The wheel struck a stone nnd the coin slipped from his fingers nnd fell Into the gut ter. He dismounted, thrust his nrm in thd mud and groped for the treasure in vain. A gust extinguished his lan tern and left him in darkness. He be came panic strlckeu. He foresaw dis grace, arrest. Imprisonment. Even Clementine would turn from him. He had Just crossed the bridge when he stopped. He would end It all. With a last vow to Clementine on his Hps he rushed to the canal and leaped Into its waters. Clementine, knowing tlint Jacques ought to have been back by noon, had been worrying nbout him for the last twelve hours. What could have hap pened? The dread of accident alter nated with another disquieting thought. There were plenty of pretty girls In the city. Perhaps Jacques had been en snared by one of them. He went to the market every Saturday. Very likely he had a sweetheart in St. Quentln. Then her Jealousy would vanish nnd her anxious fears return. At supper the farmer noticed that Jacques was absent. He went to the stable and found that the horse and cart were missing al$o. Coming back with a black scowl on his face he swore a round oath and cried: The scoundrel has bolted with the money." There was a profound si lence. Everybody knew of the attach ment between Jacques and Clemen tine. The poor girl cowered In a cor r.er. hoping to escape notice, but the farmer spied her and sneered: "So your lover Is n thief." These cruel words hnunted her after she had crept to her garret over the stable. Jealous though she was, she could not believe them. Jacques was honest, she was sure, even If he were unfaithful. She tossed un easily on her pallet until the clock struck eleven. Then she got up and dressed. She would go In search of Jacques. She would bring him back, nllve or dead. Slipping away noise- lessly to the road, she went in the dl rectlon .of St. Quentln. Her pace soon slackened to a walk, but she plodded on, mile after mile, resolved to go all the way to the city if necessary. She kept on through the furious storm which soon burst upon her, -straining her eyes to see the dreadful thing which she now regarded as a certainty Jacques lying by the roadside, bound and gagged, bleeding, dead perhaps. But She saw nothing until her weary limbs had carried her to the brld where she came upon the empty cart, with the horse asleep between the shafts. Climbing Into the cart, she peered nnd groped about until she found the woman's hat. Ab, her Jeal ousy had not been unfounded then, nnd she had coinc this weary way only to make certain her lover's treason. The long hours she had passed In nnguisli he had spent In the society of Jiis cily sweetnenrt. An indistinct sound, coming from un der the bridge, startled her and Intend nea ner jealous anger, iney were under the arch, on the towpath where Jacques had stolen bis first kiss! She sprang from the cart and ran down the bank. At she did tx a sharp, de spairing cry for help came from a little clump of bushes by the water's edge, It was Jacques voice! She ran to the spot and found him half burled in mud water and tangled graaa. battling (or life. Clementine waded out to him, I and after much effort succeeded in dls- entangling him and bringing him ashore. They fell into each other's arms with exclamations of "JacquesI" "Clementine!" She thought no more of the tell-tale bonnet, and he had forgotten his theft. But when the first flush of the Joy of meeting, nnd of rescuing and being res cued, had passed, Clementine asked: "How did It happen? And the woman? here is sue .' Jacques did not answer. The only effect of her questions had been to re call him to reality, to his crime and coining disgrace. "And the hat!" Clem entine persisted. ''Whose Is it?" Jacques stood stupidly wagging his head. At last he exclaimed; "I have eaten the calf!" "What?" she asked, staring at him. "I have eaten the,earf!" he repeated. "He has gone crazy!" thought Clem entine, i'aklng his nrm she helped him up the bank and Into the cart. placed herself beside him and began to drive homeward. Jacques continued to mutter: "I have eaten the calf!" In a voice which grew weaker with each repetition. Soon his heod drooped for ward and lie fell asleep. Clementine seized the opportunity to take up the at:il bonnet nnd examine it. She nl- most si-reamed with surprise nnd Joy when she read on the wrapper: "Made moiselle Clementine Surron, Etri eourt." Now flie understood everything. Jacques hod stolen, but for her. How could she refuse to pardon him. espe cially as he had so soon repented to the point of suicide? She drew from her pocket the little purse that con tained all her savings, and, shaking the sleeper vigorously and laughing through her tears, cried: Jacques! Jacques! Wake up! The calf has come to life again!" New York Globe. ITnilltrnlfled Way of Advertising;. There Is a common nnd unpleasant practice on the part of certain small tradesmen of hiring newsdealers to Insert business circulars between the leaves of the dally papers sold in their neighborhoods. They are thus enabled to reach possible customors without ad- ertlslng lu those papers and without use of the malls. This may be shrewd business, In one sense, but It Is undignified and un derhand to snenk one's goods Into a bouse under false pretenses. And It nn Irritation to the reader to have to shake out half a dozen sheets, vary ing from the size of an ash barrel dodger to full pages, before he can get at the news for which he bought the paper. If he is one of the greedy renders. whose appetite is satisfied with noth- ng less than half a dozen papers, his office or parlor floor is well littered with those Intruding advertisements before he is through with his reading. Buyers might do something to check this business if they would signify to the news venders that they prefer newspapers to circulars, and require their papers "straight." Brooklyn Eagle.

Edwin E. Town send, in The Epltomlst. Begin Feeding ltoots, . Roots, such as carrots, turnips, man gles and potatoes, may be fed profitably to cows, swine, sheep and poultry. In feeding to sheep it Is best to start in with a small quantity until they are used to them, else they ait apt to have scours. There are many ways of feed ing tlie roots, but, as a rule, they should be fed by themselves and in rather small quantities, more ns nn nppetizer than anything else. In feeding them to poultry, It is a good plan to feed one lot chopped up in very small pieces and mixed with grain, like corn meal. It Is a good plan to cook small pota toes and mix them in the bran mash which 1b fed In the morning. Another day a lot of carrots chopped small, about the size of a kernel of corn, this to be fed at noon In the trough, fol lowed by a smaller feed than usual of grain scattered through the chaff on the scratching shed floor. In feeding to hogs put the roots in the trough without any slop and In pieces of quite good size, for the hogs prefer to have them this way. An occasional feed of roots from now on until spring will do the stock a great deal of good. Splendid For Fattening;. After an-experience of nearly twenty years In raising poultry the writer has learned not to take any radical view on the subject, hence is not in harmony with the advice of experts who would cut corn entirely out of the poultry ration.. There is a medium ground that is much safer. When we admit that corn Is the cheapest ond most readily raised of all the foods given animals on the farm some way of feeding it to the best advantage should bo evolved rather than planning to take It out of the ration. True, corn Is fat tening when fed to poultry in large quantities, or with considerable regu larity, nnd the over-fat hen is uot an egg producer. On the other hand, corn may be fed nud even In considerable quatitles by properly varying the ration ns well ns by varying the forms of feeding corn. Corn has Its least fattening effect when fed with some other grain, nnd while we prefer the plan of feeding grains separately, nnd feeding so that the same grain comes not more often than every third or fourth meal, we would not hesitate to feed corn and wheat or corn and oats together and expect good results, particularly if the fowls had considerable green food between meals ns well as a fair supply of ground bone and animal meal. Indianapolis News, Food For the stork. Those who have tested the use of cooked and uncooked foods for stock, more particularly for swine, agree that the uncooked foods nre by far the most digestible. This opinion would delight the vegetarians who urga un cooked fruits and vegetables as being more vholesome. Yet there ure two sides to the story, as usual. There seems to be no denying the value id the uncooked food, with animals at nny rate, but we all know that n quantity of raw fruits and vegetables eaten by humnns during the summer is apt to create a disturbance of the digestive organs. Not always does it cause looseness of the bowels, but acldiiy of the stomach, which Is very painful Is it not fuir to assume that if un cooked food has this effect on the hu man stomach that it must haveVmie bad effect on the stomach of the farm animal? This mer be a little far-fotched, but experience has taught the writer that, without exception, one warm meal day during the winter Is beneficial to the animals. Even our horses have a warm brnn mash, nnd it hns been well cooked, too. The poultry have the warm cooked mash and the hot corn at night every other day, and thrive on it. This being our experi ence, our argument is that animals should have cooked food occasionally but that most of their meals should consist of food not cooked. Indianap oils News. Sheen ou the Farm. Many stock farms have no sheep on them at all nnd there seems to be no good reason for this, especially on farms that nre adapted to sheep grow ing. After long exper'ence in breeding nnd rnising stock the writer believes that sheep nre one of the most profit nble animals that can be rnlsed on the farm and they give quicker returns thnn cattle. There is always a good market for nice, fat lambs that can be raised at a very small coat to any farmer. There are many weed and abruba in all pastures where cattle arc grazed that the cattle will notcat, and the sheep i so constructed that it will thrive on these weeds nnd shrubs and keep fat and yield a fine ileece of wool each year. In the writer's opin ion, nny pasture where cattle are kept will grow more grass if nbout three head of sheep to every ten head of cattle nre allowed to run on the pas ture. There Is Another decided advan tage in pasturing sheep In that they will Improve land more than any other stock, by dropping manure over almost every square Inch of the pasture. Let every farmer who has not raised sheep heretofore buy a few and pasture them with his cattle and he will be sur prised to see how cicely they will clean out all weeds nnd shrubs, be sides yielding a good fleece r.nd drop ping a lino bunch of lambs each spring. It Is nice to see the lambs playing, and still nicer to see how fast they will swell your bank account. A. N. Horn, In The Epitoniist. A Lesson For the Farmer. It is not true that because many of Ihe sections of tlie country where most of the abandoned farms are located are being rapidly settled, the end of the abandoned farm is near. The fact re mains that In all such sections thei'esi dents must largely work out their own salvation. If there were no more cheap lands to be had In the Northwest, and In Canada, then the abandoned arm question would be speedily settled, but until such a time, not likely to come in this generation, the abandoned farm regions must look largely to the city residents for relief. There are thousands of busy city men who would be glad to take up one of these farms If the situation were brought to their attention in a proper light. Here Is work for the State of ficials of each State containing aban doned farms. A busy New York City merchant is gloating over the posses sion of nn nbundoned New England farm, bought for a song, and his Joy has attracted others to the locality to an extent that since this first farm was bought, five years ago, other farms have sold for from one-quarter to one- third higher, and even then were sold very cheap. Those in rural districts can scarcely realize the glee of the shrewd, successful city man over the possession of a few acres of. country land where he can breathe freely, with no one to bother him. A concerted effort would interest more city men nnd bring to the nbr.udoned farm re gion money and brains which would slowly but surely change the situa tlon. Tei-baps os farms they would do no better than before, bnt they have in them the making of a country home which would delight the average city ninn. Indianapolis News. Victoria Swine. The Victoria is a composite breod of comparatively modern origin. There are two distinct brandies or. breeds that nre called Victorias and have orig inated from two different sources and molded Into n breed by two different Individuals. The older branch was ogirinnted in Saratoga County, New York, by Colonel Frank D. Curtis, and denominated n breed ns early ns 1S.10. It was made jip of a combination of the blood of the Grazier, Byficld, York shire and Suii'olk. These bear a close resemblance to the Suffolk, except the lack of a deep ulsh-in-face. The other was originated by Geor Davis, Dyer, Lake County, Indinim. They are the outcome of the nmnlga nation of the Poland China, Chester Whites, Berkshires and Suffolks. They were called a breed as early as 1870. They appeared at the fairs in Indiana and Illinois, and at the Fat Stock Show in Chicago, in 1S78. They were nc knowlcdged ns a distinct breed by the Illinois State Board, of Agriculture in 1882. Since that time they have been quite successful winners at the Fa Stock . Show. Chicago, fliid have re ceived recognition from ssvernl other State organizations. The Victoria Swine Breeders' Assoc! ntion was organized I-. ISSli. In 188' the first volume of the register was published and two subsequent volumes have followed. From the small begin nings the number of animals recorded has reached beyond 1000, which showi that the breed is growing in popularity When we consider thnt only stock that Is or likely to be kept for breeders will be plttced on record, it is n g6o,d show ing. The Victorias seem to occupy a posl' tion distinctively their own and nre not close imitators of the other breed. In size they nre not the equal of the Poland China, but somewhat lav than some of the BO-cnlled breeds, Ox pending greatly on the Individual whose hands they are reared. It 1 claimed that they are easily adapted to surrounding conditions, nnd thriv either In field or pen. We eonolnd from a close examination nnd study o them that they are fattened at any a The superior feeding qualities, ns we ns the quality of their meat, have bee proven by their winnings, In both liv and dead classes, at the Fat Stock Snows at Chicago. In general appearance the Victorias are strong and growthy. nnd In th typical specimens nre quite symmetrl cal In outline. They are not quite so large as the Berkshires, nor do they seem to, as yet, equal them lu un! formlty. They are white, while the Berkshire Is black, with white points, The originator once declared that had "produced the model hog, gnaran teed to reproduce itself white."
