The rich man stood In the middle of his study, one hand holding his eyeglasses, in an attitude of expect ancy, and the other waving the young clergyman to a seat. "Nothing of the kind to-day, Mr. Clanpel," the minister said, as he took the seat. "Some family in narrow straits, then, I suppose. I realize that men of your profession have to play the lighthouse pretty often for storm-driven and unseaworthy household barks. There! a first-rate figure." The minister smiled and took ad vantage of the pause. "I came to ask you for a new tehurch," he thrust into the vocal .vacuum. . The rich man dropped into his re volving chair with the suddenness of a discovery in gravitation. "You did,' did you? Well, I don't Tsnow about that," he said, quizzically. "We need a church and a rectory," the minister continued, without vis ible discomfiture. "There will be no trouble about getting a rectory If I can manage to secure the church building." "Married?" the rich mnn Inquired, swinging about. "No," was, the laconic answer. ' "Want to be?" Mr. Clanpel asked, curiously, as if he had searched years for such an anomaly. "If I had the church," the clergy man replied, "I could have a rectory, and If I had a rectory I could " "Yes, yes; I understand," Mr. Clan pel broke In, "but I'm afraid I can't afford you a church. Yet hold on a minute," he added, as he took up a letter which he had apparently writ ten that morning. "See here," he continued, as he glanced over It; "read this. Here is a way In which you might get what you want." Graham looked over the sheet and read It the second time. Then he eat for a little while In a train of thought which brought a frown to his forehead. The revolving chair swung around once or twice, nervously, and the oc cupant turned about to his desk and began to write. "Mr. Clanpel, do yon remember Eliza beth Travers?" the clergyman asked, suddenly. The pen dropped Instantly and the chair came around with a quick jerk. "In Heaven's name, man. How glibly you use a name. What do you know about her." The rich man's face showed an in terest even more profound than the clergyman had expected. "I know all about her," Graham de clared, as he rose from the chair and laid the letter on the desk. "Sit down, man; sit down, and tell me," Clanpel begged. "There's no hur ry about your going, Is there?" "I should make a call," Graham said, consulting his watch. "It I could write a note and send by messenger-?" "Oh, surely, yes. Sit down here, I will have a man drive over with It." Mr. Clanpel indicated paper and en- "Fair coming on, or a hospital dona tion wanted?" elopes. Then he touched a button and gave orders for the carriage. The minister wrote a few lines rap idly on a plain sheet of paper, reject ing the stationery which bore the letter head of the host. 'As he tore up the page and re-wrote the words Mr. Clanpel paced the room In a ner vous but undlsturbing manner. The sealed letter bore no address and Graham handed it to tbe servant with directions for delivery and a request to wait for an answer. "How came you to know Mrs. Mlna Travers?" Clanpel asked, almost be fore the door had closed behind the errant mm mm Daily Story Pub. Co.) "I am engaged to marry her niece," Graham explained. "Is is she well?" Clanpel asked, struggling to open the conversation. "Quite well." "Her marriage was it accounted a success?" "Hardly," Graham answered, with a flavor of Irony, "inasmuch as she never married." The older man stared at the young clergyman for a full minute without speaking. "Do you mean to toll me," he ask ed, at length, In a slow voice, "that I "You will understand " have deceived myself all this time?" . Graham nodded affirmatively. "Man alive," Clanpel continued, with a high note in his voice; "I've had murder in my heart for years. And now you tell me that 1 have har bored this hate without reason. Tell me more," and Clanpel sprang up In his excitement. "There isn't much to tell. Ten years ago you thought only thought Captain Thomas had won out " "Yes the furies take him!" ejacu lated the older man. "He Is dead," Graham said, with something of solemnity. "He died a week after his arrival in London, where he had hoped to marry her. She came back here In the course of time. Five years later she lost her father and almost all means of sup port. Since then she has been Strug gling against adverse circumstances." "And I with more than I can use," Clanpel murmured. "Does she still care for that dead man?" he asked. "She never did care for him. It was all a mistake and more your fault than her's," Graham said, with a llttlo resentment. Clanpel hardly gave a glance In the direction of the door when the servant came in with the answer to Graham's note. "Mr. Clanpel," Graham asked, after reading the answer. "Dtfryou still hold to your agreement In regard to the letter you showed me?" "Yes," was the absent reply. "The letter Instructs your agent," Graham continued, "to secure the Mercer farm at the lowest possible figure, with thirty thousand dollars as the limit." "That is the idea. Whatever he saves out of the thirty thousand you Bhall have for the church." Mr. Clan pel assured him, with evident effort to keep his mind on the subject. "Very well," Graham replied. "I have written to the owner and this reply gives me authority to fix the price. There is a mortgage on the place; the owner must have as much as possible. I ask thirty thousand dollars. Read the letter." Mr.. Clanpel glanced at the written page. "Signed 'Elizabeth Travers'!" he said, in amazement. "For whose sake I would forfeit a much larger fee," Graham muttered, thinking of a younger woman. "She wrote this?" Clanpel asked. "She must live here!" An impatient and expectant light came into the eyes as he turned to Graham. "She lives on the outskirts of the village," Graham admitted, "though she did not know of your home when she came." "I'll go and buy the farm In per son," Clanpel said, impetuously, as he touched the button and caught up his hat. Turning to Graham, he add ed, "My boy, I hardly know how to yes, I do!" He put on his hat, took up a pen and rapidly wrote his signature. Then, blotting It nervously he thrust It into his pocket "She shall fill It out," he said softly. '.'Ten per cent is your fee. If It Is for more than three thousand dollars you will know you will understand that that sho did not shut the door against me." Graham deposited the next day, In the name of the church, a check for ten thousand dollars. TREE REVERED BY MEXICANS. Peculiar Formation Has Made .It Known as "Tree of Fate." The height of happiness Is reached by the Broadway florist when he puts some new growth in his window that attracts the crowds. He feels like a theatrical star at a first night's per formance. This week one of the craft has been displaying a Toluca hand tree. Tho fchrub is not very large, but boasts wondrous flume flowers. The calyx is blood red, and each column of stam ens support a tiny hand that seems to have been dipped in blood. Mexicans revere the tree ant', prav beneath it. It is sometimes called the Tree of Fate. When the devotees solicit advice beneath its branches If they have patience and wait long enough, the fingers of the hand will rolnt the direction to take on a home ward journey In order to have good luck. The unsuperstltious scientists say that the pointing of the fingers is but the action of the wind and air, lut the devotees pooh-pooh this. In its native land jeweled rings are placed upon the Toluca's hand to pro pitiate the spirit of the tree and bring happiness to the donor. New York Fress. Joke That Failed Twice. Miss Adelbert had just returned from a vacation spent at a tiny village on the Maine coast. In recounting her experiences she talked somewhat for the benefit of a cousin, a quiet per son, who was visiting her city relative for the first time in many years. "There was just one store in the place," said Miss Adelbert, "and they kept everything that Is, everything they had to keep. "One day I went to buy some soap, and just on a venture I asked the clerk If they had Browning. He stared at me a second, then went off and looked under the counters and on the shelves. "Presently he came back and- said, 'No, miss, we ain't got none. We got blacking, an' we got bluln, an' we got whiting, but we ain't got a bit o' browning in the store." Miss Adelbert had to make several protests to assure her audience that this really happened. Finally the cousin asked, gravely, "But cousin Bert, why didn't you say varnish in the first place." Youth's Companion. Resting Period One of Profit. The man who fails to appreciate the value of recreation is making a great mistake. Attention to business and devotion to duty are essential to suc cess in this strenuous age, but that fact is in itself the most eloquent plea for a season of vest; a breathing spell so that the high tension methods of to-day will not wear us out before our time. If the every-dny pace was more moderate there would be less urgent need of rest. It is the pace we are keeping time to in business in this age that makes a vacation Imperative. Exhaustion results in not only tempo rary but a permanent loss of vital force. The rest period is often the profit period in a busy man's life. No machine can run incessantly without repairs and the vacation time Is tne repair time In the great scheme of human economy. Four Track News. Famous Political Prognosticator.

Tho binding does not make the book though it may mar it. It's a good deal easier to mark moral time than it is to march to It. When your title to the skies seems clouded look out for fogs of doubt. A man never blows his own horn until the silence has become more than he can bear. I.ove is not getting, lint giving; not a wild dream of pleasure and a iiiihU ness of desire oh, no, love Is not that. It is goodness and honor, and pence and puro living yes, love is that and It is Hie best thing in the world, and the thing that lives longest. Henry van Dyke. I can wish for you the things I hold good things, a deep, intense -love for one higher and stronger than yourself, or that pence and joy which come, one sees, to some elect natures who have got rid of the nelilngs and yearn ings of self, and live in Hie life of others.

In our beet cattle the breeders have developed tho most available and choic est portions of. meat where It is most desired. The hind quarters and loins are heavily developed, the head is smaller, the bones finer, and the qunl ity of the flesh increased. In thus producing large rarcasses at small cost the value of the animals Is en hanced by being bred to that degree of perfection which enables the farmer or breeder to realize the best prizes obtainable. fiheen Notes. The greatest argument in favor of feeding sheep, rather than cattle or hogs, Is that so much greater returns can he realized from the amount of feed consumed. l.mnbs should be put in the feed lots at three to six months old, and forced to an early market at eight to nine months old. Keep your sheep dry above Itnd be low, and have the sheds on dry ground and free from draughts. Ilalf-fat and Inferior sheep will not bring near as much as well fattened sheep, and usually meet with very slow sale at low prices. Vnlformiiy of carcass, age and size are indispensable In (lie selection of a good and profitable bunch of sheep for feeding to fatten profitably. Feeding Plgl. I have forty fall pigs from thorough bred Poland-China sows, crossed with a thoroughbred Berkshire boar, weigh ing 100 pounds at three months old. This makes the best cross I ever saw. I let these pigs run with sows until eight weeks old. then separated tlicni and began feeding to themselves. 1 give them slop made of ground corn and oafs of morning and whole corn at nights. I get the pigs up In a pen regular once a week and sprinkle them wllh some good disinfectant lulxed with warm water. If It is real cold I sprinkle them at noon in a close pen and leave it there until they rub It in and dry off, as the heat from them will soon do so. This keeps tho llee off, nlways keeping them in a healthy growing condition. I have built good hog houses for them to sleep In, built five by six with n shingle roof, with swinging doors, so whenever a pig goes in or out he always shuts the door after him, therefore keeping the draft and storm out. A pig two weeks old will work these doors. They are some thing every hog raiser should have. The hog beds must be kept dry and clean. I always make It a rule to clean out and sprinkle air slacked lime around and fresh bright wheat straw once a week. Keep slacked soft coal salt and ashes in a trough where they can get It whenever they want it H. W. D., in Indiana Farmer. The Care or Chicks. Many of the losses among the broods of young chicks may easily be traced to some neglect, either in care or food. In the first place, many are killed In the nest because the hen is disturbed and they are trampled or chilled. Ho not go near the nest after the eggs be gin to pip, except perhaps to remove the shells after a portion of the chicks have hatched. As a rule, unless the lien is very quiet, this should not be done. After twenty-four hours take the hen and brood to a coop already pre pared under a dry shed. These coops should consist of slats arranged so that the hen can move around comfortably, with n roomy box at the end. where she may take the chicks to roost. If the weather l.i cold, keep the hen and chicks in n warm room for n few days, so that the chicks will not get chilled. As soon ns taken from the nest, feed the hen, ns she will be very hungry from her long fast, ns she never leaves her nest after tho chicks begin 1o hntch. The chicks will begin to come from tinder her wings for food after a few hours, and the first meal should be rolled oats or stale crackers slightly moistened with milk or water. They will eat but little the first week, but It should be given them every few hours. They should have milk or water to drink, but you must watch that they do not get wet. A shallow plate or saucer filled with little pebbles will keep them from falling in the water. Change the food occasionally nnd give some kind of green stuff, cut fine. Tench the chicks early to scratch by scattering oatmeal in litter nnd let them understand that they must work for at least a portion of their food. After the weather is warm the coops should be scattered about over the yard and orchard, where they should remain until the mother weans them; after that they will still return to the coop to roost or for protection from danger. How Some Seed Corn rays. The farmers of Clifton township. Bartholomew County, estimate that there Is a loss in that township of $10, 000 every year, on account of imper fect seed eoru. That Is to say the crop would be worth that amount more than now If perfect seed corn were planted by all the farmers. This looks like a wild statement, but It may not be even less than the truth. The seed corn experts show pretty clearly that an average loss of thirty per cent, is sustained by planting corn that is not carefully selected and stored. Euch acre then that ought to yield sixty bushels with perfect seed loses eighteen butthels when eommo.t Beed is used; at thirty-three cents a bushel this is $0, and it takes only 1666 acres at $6 loss per acre to make a total loss of $10,000. There are certainly more than that number of acres -' d in corn in that soiree corn growing township nnd there are hundreds more of our townships to ' which the same estimnte would opply equally well. Every farmer who plants Inferior seed loses from $5 to $7 on each acre In the yield of corn. If he has twenty-five acres In this crop he loses over $l:.-; if forty acres, S200 or more Indiana Farmer, Cnntenlent Farm I'ower, Oil and gas engines are now exten sively adopted for farm work, says the American Cultivator, nnd It is safe to prophesy that steam will be dis placed by these internal combustion en gines at no very distant date. Their mkrantnges are many, nnd have so frequently been dealt with that It is unnecessary to recapitulate them here; suffice It to say that a small oil engine is more economical to run thnn a small sleam engine, all things considered. The larger sizes are now being con structed for consuming crude oil in stead of the gasoline hitherto em ployed, the former fuel being much cheaper; thus the oil engine has be come a si ill more serious rival to the steam entiine. A gas engine operated with producer gas is about the cheap est power oblalnnble, water or wind, of . course, excepted, the cost of fuel being 4 only about one-fifth of a cent per actual horse-power per hour. For intermittent work oil and gas engines possess n great advantage over sleam engines in that they are avail able for full power ot n few minutes' notice, much less attendance is re quired, and that can be given by any laborer of ordinary intelligence. On most farms a small oil engine will generally be found the most con venient motor, but if considerable power Is required, a gas engine com. blued with a gas producer plant would be preferable on the score of economy. Theo plants, which are coming rapid ly to tlio front, do not require much more attention than slow combustion stoves, and it is perhaps superfluous to add that tliry render the engine in dependent of tho local gas supply. If n full of water Is available it -should prove an excellent source of power. Tho old-fashioned, cumber some water-wheels have now given place lo the modern turbines, the latter being more efficient in the utilization of (lie energy ot the falling water, cheaper in first cost nnd erection, nnd owing to 1 lie fact that they run at a far higher speed, the massive and costly gearing necessary with water wheels, lo give the requisite velocity to the machinery, can be dispensed with. It should, however, be stated that in a few situations an "over-shot" water-wheel still holds its own. Wind power is coming to the fore again; there is no doubt that It might be util ized more than it is. Non-Betting Hens.' The Minorca has been dubbed the "middleweight egg machine," nnd there is good reason why the name is ap propriate. While they will not lay as many egs as some of tbe smaller breeds, yet in point of weight they easily outclass all others. It is not unusual to find n dosen Monorca eggs weighing thirty-two ounces, all being uniform In shape and color. Minorca are strictly non-setting hens, though like nil others' of this class, one will occasionally become broody. They are largo enough for good table fowls, the males weighing jine or ten pounds, and the females weighing from six to seven. W4', They have beautiful metallic black plumage, with large single combs, and clean slate-colored shanks. They are good foragers, and like tc roam over the fields, but they stand confinement well nnd are very gentle when kept in small yards. One of tho greatest objections to ilium, nnd yet one of their most attrac tive features, Is the Inrge comb, which gives so much trouble in cold climates. They require houses where the temper ature will not go below freezing, and fliey must be closely watched during days when there are sudden changes. Frosted combs ure not only unsight ly, but lieus will not lay for several weeks after swelling has disappeared. Taking them altogether, the Minor cas are excellent and useful fowls, and exceptionally well suited for tho3e cli mates which are only moderately so vcre. Home and Farm. Klectrlolty For Sickness.
