J Tutfs Kills i n m rrcven wr H poem THOMPSON, OF ANGEL'S By Bret Harte f sTstA ,T is the story of Great the mortality incident on that lightness and freedom. Yet not happy or gay was Thompson, the hero of Angel's; Often spoke to himself iu accents of anguish and sorrow: "Why do I make the graves of the frivolous youth who in folly Thoughtlessly pass my revolver, forgetting its lightness and freedom? "Why In my dally walks does the surgeon drop his left eyelid. The undertaker smile and the sculptor of gravestone marbles Lean on his chisel and gaze? I care not o'ermuch for attention; Simple am I in my ways, save for this lightness of freedom." So spake that pensive man this Thompson, the hero of Angel's; Bitterly smiled to himself as he strode through the chaparral musing. "Why, oh, why?' echoed the pines in the dark olive depth far resounding. "Why, indeed?" whispered the sagebrush that bent 'neath bis feet, non-elastic. Pleasant indeed was that morn that wnere in tneir manhood's prime was gathered the pride of the hamlet Six "took sugar in theirs," and nine to the barkeeper lightly Smiled as they said, "Well, Jim, you can give us our regular fusel." Suddenly as the gray hawk swoops down on the barnyard, alighting Where, pensively picking their corn, the favorite pullets are gathered. So in that festive barroom dropped Thompson, the hero of Angel's, Grasping his weapon dread with his pristine lightness and freedom. Never a word he spoke; divesting himself of his garments, Danced the war dance of the playful yet truculent Modoc, Uttered a single whoop, and then In the accents of challenge .Spake, "Oh, behold in me a Crested Jay Hawk of the mountain 1" Then rose a pallid man a man sick with fever and ague; : Small was he, and his step was tremulous, weak and uncertain; Slowly a Derringer drew and covered the person of Thompson; Said in his feeblest pipe, "I'm a Bnldhendod Snipe of the Valley." As on its native plains the kangaroo, startled by hunters. Leaps with successive bounds and hurries away to the thickets. So leaped the Crested Hawk and, quietly hopping behind him, Ban and occasionally shot that Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley. ' Vain at the festive bar still lingered the people of Angel's, Hearing afar in the woods the petulant pop of the pistol; Never again returned the Crested Hawk of the mountains; Never again was seen the Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley. Yet in the hamlet of Angel's, when truculent speeches are ottered, When bloodshed and life alone will Maidens and men in their prime recall the last hero of Angel's, Think of and vainly regret the Baldheaded Snipe of the Valley! oo)o)o)ooMoa)o0oeooeo A GIRL and A RING.

Peg, and in the meantime admire my ring. Isn't it the sweetest ever?" Such an odd ring It was too. In numerable small diamonds formed the petals of a daisy, with u bluzlng topes for tbe yellow center. I'eggy looked at it with wildly beating heart "It's more suitable for you. Peg, be causo It's a marguerite. Nevertheless it suits your humble servant right down to the ground, as the poet baa it" Miss Dane sighed complacently as she seabed herself on the grass. "Come, sit down. Peg, and discuss the details." she coaxed. "Yon will be maid of honor, of course. "Of coarse, Bess," murmured Peggy miserable "when when" "Dont say when' again," admonish ed Bees mildly. "Ill tell yon when I know. Bob hasn't even asked me to name the day. There were other and more unportant matters to go over, she blushed warmly.

Down Q rowing Roots. The unalterable downward trend of the first root is all tbe more remark able when we consider that tbe sub sequent ramifications grow out in any direction which seems to be desirable. Many years ago Colonel Greenwood started some experiments by fixing horse chestnnt seeds In inverted pots. The first root to appear developed downward into the light but naturally soon shriveled up and died. Not so tbe secondary roots, which bad spread into the soli of tbe pot Tbe upper parts of the plants, which bad presumably first grown to one side and then shot upward, continued to flourish exceed ingly. It is related that for no less than twenty years Colonel Greenwood kept one of these chestnuts alive, all the time in an upside down condition as far aa the roots were concerned. When the plant became too large for Its original receptacle its roots were Incased In a chimney pot, several of these latter being called into requisi tion as the experiment continued. Finally tbe root was turned over wall and conducted to a mound of earth on the other side, at last being allowed to take a natural course. This the long suffering tree readily did and remained for some time s great curi osity with Its long arching root Sci entific American. The MesJoiaji and tha King.

K la Reputed to Ba the Coming Fashionable Flower. An enthusiastic admirer of tbe peony writes as follows: Don't let autumn go by without planting the sooner the better a good lot of these best of all hardy her baceous perennials. Anybody can grow peonies, and you 'can get tbe most glorious results with onc-balf the trouble that you would have to expend In getting roses that were merely good. I believe the peony will become the typical flower of our American gardens and occupy (he place with us that tbe rose does In England or the fieur-de-lls in France. It certnlnly has no competitor when the Btaudard is tbe best results for the labor expended. Do you ask, "Can 1 grow peonies?" I ask you, "Do apples grow in your neighborhood?" Wherever the apple will grow there, too, you can plant the peony. Having once set it out yon can shake hands with yourself, con fident in the knowledge that It is there to stay, without any necessity disturbance, for twenty years at least Sometimes a clump will remain undisturbed for fifty years. No won der It gives that comfortable, old fash ioned garden atmosphere that every body wants around the borne. The up to date peony- fancier who wants to keep his plants at tbe highest standard all the time and does not mind tbe trouble will dig np the clumps, sep arate the roots and replant them (do ing all this iu September) every seven or eight years. Perhaps you bare an old peony clump in your garden that has died out In the center so that it forms an irregular ring. Dig it up now, divide it and replant Two years from now you will have such peonies as yon never dreamed of. Let me tell you bow I plant my peo nies, because I am sure that you will want to buy some and do likewise. To begin with, let me say that, al though the plant will grow in any reasonably fertile soil, yet like ev erythlng else, it will pay you well for extra attention to its wants. Ideal peony soil Is a heavy moist loam. Some people hare made the mistake of thinking that because tbe peony will take up a great quantity of water and because It prefers a moiat loam it is also more happy in a continuously wet soli. This is true with certain llmlta- thb cnorasa rsoax tlons. It likes constantly moist soli, but It must be well drained, never stagnant Tbe Ideal situation Is tbe side of s slopo leading down to wet land. Dig a bole to tbe ground with i fork or spade, set the plant into It, then cover with soil and press tbe whole firmly with your bands snd your feet to make everything firm and to be sure that every part of ths root la to close contact with ths aolL Wa ter It then go away and wait till spring, bearing to mind Just one thing. If in your latitude sero weather is tbe mle In winter cover the bed with some leaf mold, muck, a Labia litter or anything to prevent tbe froet from getting out after It once gels to. Autumn Noise. Most trees are better planted tn spring but It Is often a good Idea to boy in fall and beel In well so ss to have them reedy for early planting In spring. Tbe sspsrsgus tops should be cat off and homed before tbe ripened seed scatters. Rome persons destroy the seed bearing plants entirely. It Is s good Idea te cover tbe plants with coarse manure before winter to be dug into tbe eon la spring This prerssU deep freezing. A furnace bested cellar is a poor place to keep most vegetsbler snd fruits. By picking la sand, which may be sprinkled with water occasionally, tbe drying effects of tbe air may be partially overcome, and tha procace keeps better.

The Bast Way to Keep Them In Win ter. It requires care and a knowledge of the nature of vegetables In order to successful keep them through the late fall and winter. They must, as a rule, be kept iu u cool utmosplierc, but not cool euougii to freeze. Hut pumpkin and sijuai.li need a dry, warm air and In gathering must be carefully han dled. It is best to leave the stem long. Bud never store squashes until ripe. Potatoes do best iu a cellar that is cool and damp and should be kept In tbe dark ns much as (wsslble, but there should be an arrangement for a good circulation J air. , Barrels or boxc are best for car rots, parsnips, beets and turnips. Aft er storing In these receptacles sand or fine soil should be placed on top, allow ing It to ruu down between the roots The soli should be shaken down so as to fill all the spaces. In harvesting the vegetables must be carefully lnuulled mid tbe tops cut off an Inch or mure from the top. This will prevent a ch.iuec of decay from close cutting. If bi rts. are cut too close tbe.v will bleed, luslng their sweet flavor, and q-jUkl.v tpoll. Onions abuuld be imrfectly dried bb soon as gathered end not allowed lu a aamp place, ir kept in a dry room where tbe tti.T:uui.,cter is barely abovo freezing tiny i:i keep well. Cabbage placed in A liaitel nud sunk In the grutKid nud so arranged that moisture cannot euter and then thick ly covered with struw and earth will keep nicely till far Into spring. But where it Is intended to be used dur ing the wluter a good plan Is to cut off tbe sterna nnd outer leaves, trim the heads about as much as if preparing to cook and then wrap each bead sep arately lu several thicknesses of news paper. This will exclude the air. Aft er lining a barrel with paper pack the wrapped beads closely In It and after ell are in cover with paper. The bar rel must be kept In tbe coolest part of the cellar. I)ampncj will not harm the keeping qualities. To keep tomatoes pick tbe largest peclmcns that nave begun to show color ss soon as tbe vines are cut by frost but before tbe fruit is frosted. Handle carefully to prevent bruising. Wrap each tomato separately In soft paper and place In shallow boxes or on s shelf one layer deep. Keep lu cool place, secure from frost so as to prevent ripening. If a few are brought out at a time and placed In a warm place tbey will quickly ripen. They can thus be kept for several week after killing frosts. An occii.ltiual turning under of (be whole crop is one of the best paying methods of farming. - Cobs For Kindling. Fust provide a large substantial dry goods box. ilace in s wood abed and fill it with old cobs. Second, take any old pall holding uboJt two and a half or three quarts. Fill that about a quar ter full with kerosene nil nrnl bang on a stout nail conveniently near tbe larva box. Then till tbe pall with cobs, aUud, tog each on end ro that the ends will be submerpd I'.i the oil.

Learning of the methods which have brought success to other business men has helped many a beginner to Improve every opportunity while making bis own start in a life's undertaking. To become a true master of sheep breeding it requires the desire to do it correctly and to itersevere for many yean In continuation. A solid founda tion to tbe first and greatest of all re quirements, so do not start in a hurry, bnt do it well, says a writer In the Shepherd's Criterion. A few ewes of undeniable breeding and correct indi vidual merit are more to be desired than a larger number of Inferior ones. Books and articles bare been written oa this subject and have done a great deal of good in scattering practical Ideas among fresh minds, but your best way to gather the most reliable and practical information is to visit the best breeder within any ordinary dis tance by rail. Go and stay a day or so and have n few hours' conversation with the breeder himself, and there you can learn of practical ideas which have given good results, both in feed big and breeding. By personal inter view numerous things can be learned which are bard to tell on paper. No matter whether you ore making purchases or not, any large breeder will be only too pleased to have you go through his flock. If you are contem plating tbe founding of a flock or are s new breeder, you will be greatly profit ed by a visit to tbe lurgest and most reputable breeder within your reach, and If yon nre an old breeder yon would enjoy seeing bow others do things. Sometimes I think that breed- en miaa a great deal by not having their efforts more united. More visits with each other would bind them psize an no remits bail closer together, and each would profit by tbe experience of others. From per sonal experience I em sun that every encb visit sdds to your general knowl edge of tbe business. Every visit have ever made to another flock gives new Ideas to breeding and feeding. Your first few yean should be spent In building such s live flock as will produce tlie very highest class of lambs. Tbe Unit step is to get a few ewes from the oldest anQ most reliable breeder you know of, se these are tbe only ones that will give you uniformly good results, such aa you desire. In a couple of yean you can tell which cwoe aro not breeding just as yon would wish, and these can be discard ed, aa well sa tbclr lamlst. If at all on desirable. The lambs from tbe better ewee should be kept I:i the flock si breeders. Soon you have a most ex rollout breeding flock, snd that will be the real foundation of your business.
