"Holly, clour, there Ik n gonttomnn
In tlia Hlttlng-room who whihoa to see
you. Whnt nliull you do? of course,
I know thnt you nro not presentable;
liow could you !, while oriKiim'il In

anxious to Hito you, I could not any
no'. TIioi-aJ I've dropped IiIh card
somewhere. Well, no matter. Hut
it you will. Holly JuHt stop In anil
speak to him."
Aunt June paused to take brenth.
There was n 1 1 in til quaver, a half do
precatory tone In her voice, too, ns
though flhe knew thnt sho wns nsklng
a great deal, hut hud hi III resolved
to do lior duly courageously.
Tho room at whoso npou door hIio
was standing tho best In tho old
fashioned farmhouse nestling among
tho routine Hills looked at present
as UiomkIi no power couhl net It
straight again. It wan bo provoking!
Her pretty niece, Holly Thorpe, from
the metropolis, had come to spend
the Rummer with Aunt Jnne: and
hardly wan alio comfortahly mitt led
when a telegram had arrived from
Dolly's father requesting Aunt Jano
to receive, for n few weeks, a par
ticular friend ot litfl own, who wished
to try the effect of tho fresh air
upon a somewhat delicate constltu
tlon. The telegrnm had been received the
day prevloiiR, and, JiiHt at that par
ticular Juncture, Aunt .latin's one sor
vant hnd given notice, and tnken Iter
departure. Thero was no help for
It. The work must be done Romeliow,
nnd the beat room put In rendlncsg
for the expected guest.
Holly Thorpe wits Rtnndlng upon n
Bteplnddnr In tho cheery apartment
known as "tho spnro room," Imslly
engaged In denning tho window.
Bhe waa a pretty girl, with roguish
brown eyes, and n mnss of curly
black hair. She hnd been Interrupt
ed In her work Roveral times already
that morning, and this last summons
neemed tho ono drop too much for
her overflowing cup of vexations.
Kaeh demand upon her time and
Jiatlence Holly had met and faced
bravely, for Aunt Jano was Junt re
covering from a serious Illness, nnd
was hardly able to Ret about tho
bouse. To-morrow tho now servant
would come, and Holly would bo
Ireed from her arduous duties.
In the meantime the expected
guest, whose name her fnther hnd
not taken the trouble to mention,
being simply referred to in Mr.
Thorpe's telegram ns "a friend of
mine" they know not whether the
expected guest was male or femalo
was, llablo at any moment to drop
In upon thorn.
All this time Dolly hnd been stand
ing upon the stepladder, Raping down
Into Aunt Jane's appenllng face, with
Intense dismay upon her own, and a
piece of chamois In her hand. She
wore a blue calico gown, tlod up
above a pair of little feet In not alto
gether Irreproachable slippers; a
pink cap surmounted her curly hend.
Yet she was simply charming,
thought Aunt Jane.
"Just step down a minute, dear,"
pleaded that Individual, meekly.
Stifling nn Inward groan, Dolly
turned round, but catching tho skirt
of her gown upon the ladder as she
did so, she was left for a brief space
suspended like Mahomet's colHn. The
bucket of Boapsuds upon the top of
the stepladder grew uneasy, and
came down to see what was the mat
ter; and the scene that followed can
be better Imagined than described.
In the midst of the excitement,
while Dolly was struggling with the
refractory stepladder, which had sud
denly collapsed, converting tho bare
floor Into a miniature lake, In which,
to use her own expression, Bhe was
"getting along swimmingly," a tall
form appeared in the open doorway,
a pair of merry gray eyes took In the
scene, and a musical voice, straggling
bard to stifle a burst ot laughter,
asked sweetly: ,
"Can I be of any assistance?
Why!" in mock astonishment, "it It
Isn't Dolly Thorpe!"
"Jack!" with a shrill little shriek
ot dismay. "Yes, it is I. How do
you like my get-up? Aunt Jane's
servant has taken French leave;
somebody had to do this."
"Was it really necessary that all
this should be done?'.' asked Jack
Bentley, with lurking mischief In bis
frolce.
. Dolly flared up In an instant. How
flare' he laugh at her?
"You know what I mean. Just
lift that side ot the stepladder, Jack,
and be quiet There! Thanks aw
fully. I shall get out of It somehow,
I feel like the Immortal youth who
'stood on the burning deck.' Jack!"
suddenly emerging from the general
confusion, and holding out two white
bands, in greeting, her bright eyes
shining like stars, "I'm so glad to see
you. Did you drop down from the
skies? What brought you heraj,"
"Well, that Is good!" suppresses
a whlHtlo. "I was so sure you would
be glad to sho me that I didn't stop
to Invent any excuse for coming. Hut
I reftiRn to hnve anything to say to
you until you have made yourself
presentable. Co and put oil a dry
dress!"
"Hut," sho Inquired, ruefully, "who
In to tin lull tho room? It is a point
of honor with mo to rarry out an
undertaking, and then I've prom
ised Aunt .littio."
"All right. I'll help you. What
li to bo done next?"
"You don't menu II?"
for Jack wiih pulling off his coat,
ami looking quite llerce, as thottKh
longing to set to work In real earnest.
"Well," pursued Holly, "If you
really want to" .Tuck mado a wry
fnee "I will not stand In the way -not
for the world. Clo to work It you
like. No doubt work will do you
Rood, and prove n novel experience.
Tho greater part Is done, anyhow.
Wo hnve only to mop up the door,
lay the rug, put In tho furtilturo,
hnng tho curtains, and"
"Slay! Enough! enough! Anil
for whom are nil these preparations
Intended, for some one Is expected
I feel It In tho air."
Dolly laughed.
"Quito a swell, no doubt. You
sen, we don't really know, but sus
pect that It Is one of tho sterner sex.
Papn Just leluRraphed to Aunt Jano
to expect a friend of his to-day."
Jack Henlley turned tho empty
pall upside down, nnd coolly pro
ceeded to sunt himself upou the in
verted edge.
"Dolly, how long hnvo you had tho
pleasure of my acquaintance?" was
the apparently Irrelevant question.
Bhe laughed gayly.
"Kxactly three years and si
months," alio announced, demuroly.
nnd I must confess I don't know
anything good of you." Hut the ten
der light In tho merry brown eyes be
lled her saucy words.
Jack continued loftily:
"I pass your insinuations by with
tho contempt they merit. Iloso of
tho world, did you ever promise to
mnrry me circumstnncos permitting
or did you not?
Rho crept n llttlo closer to his Ride.
"I I nm ufrnld I did," sho said,
softly, "Hut, oh, Jack! papn would
bo furious If be knew Ho will
never consent bocnuse "
"Hecftuso I nm ns poor as the pro
verbial church mouse, and ho Intends
Hint you r.linll marry Horace Hilling
liutii, the rich merchant."
".rnck!"
"It Is true, denr quite true. Now,
llnten to my talo of woe. I am hero
here to slny! I am your Aunt
.lutio'R expected Ruost. Are you will
ing, BV.eelheart?"
'Willing? Oh, Jnck!"
Not. another word; but somehow
ho Refilled quite content.
"Please explain," she ventured,
timidly, after a pnuso of golden si
lence. Jnck drew from his pocket an open
letter, ndilresed to himself, and
placed It In Holly's hand.
It began "My Dear Friend," and
ended "Yours ns ever" ("Quito ten
der," Juck declnred, In parenthesis),
"IIUFU3 THORPE."
In this letter Mr. Thorpe, Dolly's
fnther proceeded to advise his "dear
friend" to make a trip nt once to
MtllRldo, In tho Pontine Hills, to his
Blster-In-lnw's houso Miss Jane
Dean slyly Insinuating that his
daughter, Miss Holly, would warmly
welcomo hltn there.
Holly's fnco assumed ft look of be
wilderment os Bhe rend her father's
letter. What did it all niean?"
"Why, Jack, what has changed
papa so? He used to ho bo violently
opposed to you, you know, I cannot
understand it at all!".
"I can," Jnck answered, grimly.
"He wrote this letter to Dillingham,
and ono to me at the same tlmo, only
mine was ot an entirely different na
ture, I Imagine. In his hasto he
made a common mistake; he inclosed
my letter In tho eflvelope addressed
to Dillingham, and vice versa. Tho
invitation to Mr. Dillingham, in which
no name was mentioned, wns received
by me. What could I do but ac
cept?" "What, Indeed?" laughed Dolly.
And now thnt you are here, we will
Just have a splendid time."
Taken into their confidence, Aunt
Jnne could not find It in her heart
to object, for Jack was In every way
unobjectionable, save that he was not
wealthy. Yet he held a good posi
tion In a prosperous firm, and his ad
vancement was only a question of
time, after all.
Mr. RufuB Thorpe was 1 over
whelmed with consternation one day,
while sitting In his office, by the
apparition of the two young culprits,
with the astounding announcement
that they had been quietly married
that morning.
"I won her under false pretenses;
but she's mine, all the same," the
young rascal unblushlngly added.
But whon Mr. Thorpe had learned
that a distant relative ot Jack Bent-
ley's had just shuffled oft this mortal
coll, leaving him sole heir to a neat
little fortune, he thought better ot
the marriage, and In time expressed
unqualified approval. New . York

Moving Hi!!.
Fowls are very fond of their home
nnd they very much dislike to bo
moved. It Is not a protltablo busi
ness to move them unless It Is abso
lutely necessary. If eggs nro the
object sought It Is very Important
that laying hens should not be moved
from ono location to another while
laying, ns It will diminish the sup
ply of eggs. Whore It Is posslblo
to lo(so pullets that are Intended as
layers should bo brought up within
HlRht of tho location they nro to
occupy when they begin laying. On
tho contrary, if It Is desirable to do-
lay tho laying ot n hen or a pullet
for uny reason nil that Is necessary
is to movo them from ono locality to
another and the business Is dono.
This Is sometimes dono among fanc
iers when it Is desired that they put
their energies Into growth Instead
of eggs. Sometimes a broody hen
may bo broken up by removing her
nest from one locality to another.
And especially Is this true whore now
companions nro given her.
Fertlllwr In Clover Hoot.
In growing clover tho farmer, ns a
rule, wholly overlooks lis great value
as a soil fertilizer through tho grent
amount ot nitrogen which Is gained
by simply growing the clover. The
roots, therefore, tuny bo claimed ns a
portion of the crop nnd tho profit,
and should bn included In tho ac
counts ns Riich. In ono experiment
sixty pounds ot roots romnlued In
the soil, vnlued nt $9.00, which rep
resented ro much plant food waiting
to bo utilized tho next senson, and
which differed from that usually sup
plied from thn fact that It wits not
necessary to Invest nny capital the
next season In nitrogenous fertiliser,
as tho nitrogen required wns already
In tho soil and for use. Any farm
that can bo brought to that condition,
so ns to ennblo It to produce clover,
ran be gotten Into the highest stnto
of fortuity, as It la only necessary to
supply tho cheaper mineral fertiliz
ers In order to balance tho plnnt food.
Tho profits do not depend wholly up
on tho crops harvested but upon the
price reallxed compared with the
amount of material removed from
the land, the real wealth and capital
of tho farmer being hlB soil, and
when he enn sell something from the
land In tho form of a crop, which
will provide hi in with moro than he
took from It, ho Is sure to become
prosperous In a few years.
Fruit Trees From Cutting!.
'All attempts to grow apple trees
from cuttings will lead to disappoint
ment. Only a very small per cent,
will llvo nnd they will prove worth
less, reaches will not grow at all
from cuttings. Of pears, Lo Conte,
If properly handled, will grow from
cuttings as well as willow. The
Marlnnna plum is also very easy to
grow the same way; so also are many
kinds of quinces.
To prepare cuttings for planting
select nice, straight shoots of the
current year's growth. As soon as
the leaves fall cut them eight to ten
Inches long and pack them In a box
ot damp sand or well-rotted sawdust.
Put tho box In some place secure
from frost until spring and see that
the contents are kept at all times
damp, but not soaked. In spring you
will find the cuttings nicely calloused.
Be careful not to expose them to the
air more than necessary when setting
out In the nursery and if possible
select a mild, still day tor the pur
pose. To grow Klofor pears from cut
tings make an assisted cutting by
grafting a short piece of quince root
one Inch or an Inch and a halt on the
bottom of an eight-Inch scion. Do
this in February and treat as recom
mended above.
The best plan for growing Japan
plums Is to graft a long scion on a
small peach seedling In February,
planting deeply in spring and plant
ing still deeper when set in orchard.
By following this plan you will have
fine trees of abundant growth on
tholr own roots, even though the
land is too wet for peach trees to live
in at all.
To grow peach seedlings, throw up
a bed by cutting a trench around It.
Plant the seed on top the bed, cover
ing them two Inches deep. This
should be done late in the fall and In
spring when the seedlings are three
or four Inches high, transplant to
nursery row. A transplanted peach
seedling makes a better root system
than one not so treated. The Eplto-

Wheat Bran.
Notes are given In the report ot the
Massachusetts Experiment Station on
i aniv
the composition, digestibility and rer
unning Ingredients of wheat bran ns
compared with other concentrated
feeding stuffs, and two feeding ex
periments with cows nro reported,
The roiighnge In the two rations com
pared consisted ot liny and sllngn nnd
(he grain feed of cottonseed meal and
flour middlings. To this wns added
either bran or sllngn wKh corn meal
or corn and cob meal. In ono of the
experiments the results were slightly
In favor of the bran ration, while In
the other thn so-called sllngn ration
gave the best results. The author,
Prof. J. n. Lindsay, concludes thai
for small herds the quantity of pur
chased grain may be reduced to three
to four pounds dally by substituting
homo-grown corn In place of wheat
brnn. It Is suggested that the grain
mlxturo tuny consist of one and a
halt pounds cottonseed meal, two
pounds flour middlings, nnd two and
a half to thrno pounds rnrn meal ot
corn nnd nob meal. Matt sprnut.i
may be substituted for thn wheat,
oats or ryo middling. Where th
feeding cannot bo closely supervised
nnd where It I desired to feed more
than five to seven pounds of grain
dally, It Is considered ndvlsnhle that
the grain mixtures should consist ol
otio-thlrd to one-biilf of wheat brnn.
fllock Taking Cold.
Thn horso Is very susceptible to
cold; nnd thn horses thnt are stabled
when not being worked or exorcised
fool the changes of weather quite nt
readily as do those enjoying a mors
free llfo. All stables should bo fairly
lofty, because horses need plenty of
fresh air, nnd this ran only bn prop
erly given during intense cold when
venlllntlnn enn bn given above the
heads ot thn anlmnls, so far as ele
vation In concerned, thn position ol
he ventilators mattering llltln so
long ns they are nt a good height
and placed with Judgment. The
stable should feel cosey upon going
In, but not stuffy, otherwise the
horses will feel chilly upon coming
out.
When thn horse are out nt work
thoy need llttlo care, so long a they
are actually employed, but If being
rested, or doing duty Hint Involves
periods of Inaction, It then becomes
necessary to son thnt there Is no
chnnco given for a chill to he caught.
If to stand for several minutes, ns
when a wnRon Is being londed, a
loincloth, or sheet, should bn thrown
ncroRs thn back and removed when
actual work recommences, and thn
snmn plan should bo followed until
thn cold breaks.
Cows do not feel the cold ro much
n do horses, but, for all that, thoy
do feel It. Pnrhnps one of tho most
nollcenhlo features regards cows dur
ing cold Is the Increased amount of
food that the animals will consume.
Cows should be housed comfortably
during cold, and the cow-house,
should be well provided with fresh
air, admitted without draught, and
regulated by thn quantity required
to keep tho Interior temperature of
the cow-house warm enough to feel
comfortnblo to the animals, for If
too cold tho coat will readily show
It, even should tho animals them
selves seem comfortnblo. Give plenty
of dry litter, abundance of good fond
and nil the water that tho animals
care to drink, first taking the chill
off. During such cold weather tho
cows should nover be allowed to stand
about In the open, nnd the younger
stock should either be housed entirely
or given the run of a sheltered shed.

Breeders' Notes,
Keep a good rasp hnndy and use It
Judiciously in keeping the feet of the
colts level and of proper shape. Don't
let the toes become too long..
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty. It la also Indispensable In
order to keep the colts free from
worms and lice and their feet free
from thrush.
Don't neglect to cover tho Icy spots
In tho yard or paddock with gravel.
loam or ashes. Slipping on such
spots may cause the ruin of a valu
able colt or brood mare.
Don't keep the weanling shut up
In stalls and standing on hard floors
all the time. They need exercise in
the open air and on the earth every
day to keep their limbs strong and
their feet healthy.
A few dollars spent on each horse
consigned to the sales ring In putting
him In condition to show to the best
advantage will prove a profitable In
vestment. Have the animals well
mannered, fat, sleek and well
groomed.
A foot pick Is a much more Impor
tant Implement in the colt stable than
the currycomb or brush. When the
soles ot the feet are picked clean and
washed every day there is little dan
ger that they will become affected
with thrush.
' It Is more conducive to the health
and hardiness of horse stock to be
kept In barns that are well ventil
ated and not warmed by artificial heat
than In close and steam heated sta
bles. Pure air Is as essential to pure
blood and good health as is pure food.
A tablespoonful of flaxseed meal
added to the grain ration of each
weanling colt every night will have
a beneficial effect upon, the bowels
and give a gloss to the coat. Money
spent tor flaxseed meal to feed to the
youngsters Is an investment that will
pay a fifty per cent, profit at least-

Sunflowers and Quinine. '
An emlnont Spanish professor ha
made the discovery that the sunflower
yields a splendid febrifuge that can
ho used ns a substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Thorapoutlcal So
ciety of Paris with reference to the
snme subject. Accordingly the sun
flower should not only by Its growing
exert groat fever-dlspelflng effect,
but also yield a product which is
used advantageously in all fevers.
The common sunflower Is original
ly an American plant. Its original
home is stated by eminent botanists
to be Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever
patients sleep upon a bed made ot
sunflower leaves, and also cover
themselves with them. This use
has recently Induced a Russian
physician to experiment with a col
oring matter and with alcoholic ex
tracts from the flower and leaves.
With 100 children from one month
to twelve years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
a cure as otherwise with quinine.

Do Ostriches Ever Die?
Nothing is positively known as to
how long an ostrich may live. Some
writers claim that It will live 100
years. Ostriches which are known to
have been in captivity for forty years
are still breeding and producing
feathers.
It Is the experience of Arizona
farmers that among the birds having
good, nutritious green feed death sel
dom occurs, except as the result of
accident. A dog or other small ani
mal will sometimes frighten ostri
ches and cause them to run into the
fence, which may result In a broken
leg. When this happens the bird
may as well be killed, as tew ever
recover from such an Injury. Na

Expert Testimony.
Tho prominent part being played by
hired expert witnesses In thnaXfasw
trial prompts tho Washington! Star
to suggest thnt It Is time to i kiIImIi
tho present system of sociirln this
kind of testimony. The expei ; em
ployed by tho prosecution nai irally
will testify only ns tho prune ution
wants him to, while the expo t for
the defense, hnving a fine ap rela
tion of his fee, will confine Mmself
to his own side. It In up to tffo jury
to determine which la tho mist ex
pert liar or tho most truthful while
thn real valuo of either corp of ex
perts Is an open question In (lie pub
lic mind. The Star denounces "the
whole business" in cases involving
human llfo as "Immoral," 'and sug
gests that the court Itself hould se
curo the expert witnesses, protect
them on the stnnd and see that their
findings roach tho Jury' In proper
form.

"For over fifteen years," writes
patient, hopeful little Ills, woman,
"while a coffee drinker, I suffered
from Spinal Irritation and Nervous
trouble. I was treated by good phy
sicians, but did not get much relief.
"I never suspected that coffee
might be aggravating my condition.
I was down-hearted and discouraged,
but prayed dally that I might find
something to help me.
"Several years ago. while at a
friend's house, I drank a cap ot Pos
turn and thought I hed never tasted
anything more delicious.
"From that time on I used Postum
Instead of Coffee and soon began to .
Improve In health, so that now I can ,
walk half p dozen blocks or more wltn . I
ease, and do many other things that
I never thought I would be able to do
again In this world.
"My appetite Is good, I sleep well
and find life Is worth living. Indeed.
A lady of my acquaintance said she
did not like Postum, it was so weak
and tasteless.
"I explained to her the difference
when It Is made right boiled accord
ing to directions. She was glad to
know this because coffee did not
agree with her. Now her folks say
they expect to use Postum the rest ot
their lives." Name given by Postum
