MAEGAEErS LETTEE.
James O.ikley worked at hi trade as
csrpenter in the same village, near the
Hudson river, where Jie was born.
His little cottaH with the tall libit 8 in
front, and the kitchen garden in the
rear, was a very dear place to' him.
His pleasunt-f ced, sunny-hearted wife
kept the homejihvays bright and tidy,,
and the three" rosy children filled it
with glee.and laughter. Margaret, the
oldesfei was a sweet, loving girl; Dic
wras a fiturd', manly little fellow, aiid
Robert was the darling of the boas".
Mr. 0 ikley, was a skillful mechanic
and an industrious, God-fearing man;
but times were dull for him in Smith
ville Center. There was little going
in in the way of new buil iiug, ;nd he
often had to be absent from borne for
weeks together, wlTile employed at Home
remote place.
After many earnest talks with his
wife they decided to remove to the
West, where new villages and cities
were rapidly growing up. So they
found a purchaser for the little cottage,
and had an auction sale of the cow
and horse and all the furniture except
some heir'o ms and sonic articles
which they would not part witti..
Theiij after bidding their neighbor
good-by, t hey entered the eais amf

flourishing lo vn in Illinois.
It was early in spring. The rose
bud bushes were bright in the thickets,
md n thousand nower-j, new and
-t range to the immigrants, painted the
prairies. An air of bustling activity
pervaded the town. Buildings were
going up on-every side, an I Mr. 0 ik-
ey soon round employment at ietter
wagex than he had ever received in his
old home. -
For ii time everything went well
with him ami hi- faniilv. His work
vas in cons'ant demand, and if his
thoughts ever turn d with tenler re
-
g ret to the green hills which sur
rounded his former home, he had only
to look at his rosy children and picture
tOjhimself the career whicn .seemed
(pen to them in the vigorous
rrnuvill
West.-
Spring wore away into summer, jmd

tretch.es of slimy ooze festt-riug in the

but recovery was slow; and while Rob

the fever seized upon his father.1
l'here were sorrowful times now in the
little household. Mrs. Oakley watched
day and night'beside her husband and
little boy. mid helpful Margaret proved
herself a treasure.
When the first brief, wintry days

ley, too feeble to st up more than 'a
few hours at a tinie, had already re
tired. Mrs. Oakley sat thinking 'sadly
of the disappointment which seemed
awaiting the children for the tirst
tames in their lives. Suddenly the
doorbell rang, and as Mrs; Oakley
opened the door, there stood an x-
pressman and in the street a loaded
wagon.. From its depths he drew out
a big fat turkey, a hand-sled and a
heavy paper, box wrapped up in thick
paper. Having deposited the things m
the hail, he hurried out r. to his wagon
and drove awav, leaving Mrs. Oak lev
greatly puzzled. Surely there must be
some mistake, she thought. But no;
the packages were all plainly - marked:
James Oakley, INo. 6b hast' fourth
street," and then on the sle I was neatly
painted: "Dick ' Oakley.' In the
pap, r bos was aFreneh doil with real
hair ana eves that closed when she was
laid clown. A little card attached to it
was marked, "Margaret.' There was
also a ball marked "-Robbie," and such
h)ts of coidy and pretty things for all.
The stockings were .soon I'UedT to The
very tops, and the other things laid
out on a
tab!
e, where the children
found them the next morning.
There was a i -vi'iit meetinr around
thii breakfast tald-, but Mrs. Oakleys
face wort? a puzzled 'expression. Fin
ally s!ie asked: vWiiere could all
otiose things have coin from?"
"Why mamma,"'; said Margaret;
"Santa ClausSent them. I know he
diit, 'eau-iC I .wrote, to him." " '
"Vou wrote to him ?" said her mother.
"Yes, I wrote and told him where
we lived." .
This made the matter clear enough
to the children, but only deepened the
mystery fur the father ami mother.
In the afternoon, v. hen full justice
had been done to the turkey, Margaret
sat holding her beautiful new doll.
Dick was out drawing his sled through
! e streets, and Robbie was asleep, a
summons came from the front door.
As Mrs. O.ikiey went to answer it she
found there a tall, bearded man, who
inquired for Mi. Oakley. She let him
in the little silling room where her hus
band s t propped iqycvith pi Tows in hi

to him, fe'z'-d his thin hand and
asked ' M ames, -non t yon kuow )onr

w;is indeed the friend andptaymate of
hi i-arly days. '
"But how did you find me?" in
quired Mr. Oakley.
, "Oh, I'r.ad it from bauta L laus,

he sat down and the two talked over
the events of their boyhood. They
had sat together in' se.hool; together
hey had climbed the hills and hunted
squirrels,

gathered nuts and rowed
on the broad' Hudson.
As the talk went on a suspicion
grew upon Mrs. Oakley of the manner
in which Sani Claus happened to
-end the presents.: But the visitor
gave no clue to the mystery, nor did
she see through it until Margaret had
told her the whole story of her letter

Paramount Questions.
A North Carolina firmer -propounds
the searching questions below to his
brother farmers - in the -'Tar Keel
State." They will be found applicable
to all sections of the country. The
questions get right down to the milk
in the cocoa nut :
Do you know that the farmers of
North' Carolina spent over Sd,000,000
th is year for fertilizers for cotton and
rtobacco?
I) j you suppose they will be able to
get enough extra from the crops, to
payHhe bill? .
D . you know that more than $3,
OOCUXH) worth of fertilizing material
has washed away this . inffny season
from your barn yards because of neg
lect in looking a! ter your home made
fertilizers? '
Do you. suppose that the land of
North Carolina is a dollar's- worth bet-
ter off bedau e of the $2,UOO,000 spent
for fertilizers for sale -crops?
Don'kjr;ou know that field v m are

it to grow up in w'eed
S is ripening a

Don't you knowif yon had sown
that fie'd in peas you would-now have
a great crop of peavinc hay to cut and
feed this winter?
Dot rtlot-k i ro w t h a t t h e feed in g- o f
that hay would lniug yon your money
back in the animuls fed, and,, leave you.
a lot of manure that will p.iy you bet
ter than the bought mixtures?
Don't you know that the crimson
clover seed scattered on this pea stub-'
ble. will. give you a good winter pas
ture and famish you a growth to turn
under next spring that would give you
more c-dton, corn or tob icco than five
times its cost spent for fertilizers?
Don't you know that the constant
culture of the soil -in cotton year after
yew, with' a liltfe fertiliz -r to make a
crOp, is making your laud poorer all
all the time?
Don't -you know that whatever ntikes
your land poorer makes you poorer
also ,
Did you ever hear of a farmer who
got
rich by buying fertilizers merely
to raise cotton with?
Oi l you ever know a farmer
made his laud rich by an inttlli
who
ent
coure, of cultivation who u id not
et
"well oft'' as fast as hi farm did?
Did you ever know cow peas or clo
ver to bring a man in debt to a com
mission' merchant?
D:d you ever know home made ma
nure to fail to impi ove your laud ?
Do you know of a farmer who has
too much, of it?
Did you ever know a cow injured by'
a comfortable stable- and plenty of hay?
Dal you ever know a man to get
i i- i i-i .ii
rieit in any oustness who ual not stuoy
it, and have faith in it, and give his
whole time and energy, to it?
IO 1 1 t you know that the biggest
tax the farmers of North Carolina pay
to-day is the fertilizer bill, the waste
of-home madejjiiauure, and the wash
ing away of l"ei'ti:z';sfroin fields kt pt
h ire of clover or. givs--?
Don't you suppose that somebody;
sonu'w in rev makes a proiil in raising
the pork you send money to Chicago
for. out of your cotton crop?
Don't you suppose somebody, some
where, makes a living ami perhaps
grows rich, growing the wheat your
flour is m ade ff winch you buy out of
your cot ton crop.--Don't
vou suppose
that somebodv.
som?xvliere, makes money by
rawug-U
the beeves which the butchers in Norih
(Carolina towns have to send to Rich
mond to buy?
Don't you know that you could raise
all -these tilings here, and, in raising
them raise more cotton on a few acres
than you do now on many ?
Do yoij see how'high prices are
ing to bemdit the farmer who
bread, meat and manure to buv
go-ha-au;l
only one thing to sell ? " '
With cotton low down and wheat
high, how is the man helped who raises
no wheat?
What if butter is awfully high
priced in our towns, while Our farmers
have no c-ows, or nothing to feed thvm
Ion if thev have, while somebody some
where else ' inul.es money bv f
olllg
cows am) shipping butter sonlh?
If vou know ail these thing; don't'
vou see that bad farming has more to
do with! fanners troubles than- any
thing el.-e he h:is to endure, and there
is no doubt that he has much to carry
aside from this?

Hold Your Cotton, .
If you can holt your cotu we feel
safe in gujinuiteeingetter price.
Yes, cotton will rise. Mark our pre
diction: The predictions that are being sent
out from New York and published in
the newspapers all over the country
that, the cotton crop will le unusually
large is without fouudation and is
wholly false. It is the work of stock
gamblers to aid them in their specula
tion schemes. " In fact we are in pos
session of reliable information which
shows that the world's cotton crop, ac
cording to the estimates of the best
experts, "will fall mhkr the- published
estimates by more than a-million bales.
Further, we have in our po-oessidn
a confidential circular which was in-
among speculators which puts th i cot- j
i-ent iea - to , circulate on the insi
ton crop or the. world, at 1.800,000
bales short of "the figures they have
published to the world. According to
their own estimate the cotton crop of
this year will fall short of th;1 esti
mated, -need' of the World at- hat
000,000 bales. It is true we lost
last year by holding hack our cot
ton, but the crop was unusually large
which with , a contracted money sup
ply enabled the speculator to steadily
push down the price. In fact we. can
seldom afford 16 try to hold a crop as
long as a few money sharks can control
rhti volume of currency. But with the
great shortage in the crop this year ii
is hardly possible that they will be nb!e
to keep down the price if the farmers
will hold up and stjp selling.
I he following resolution wasoSerd
before the Supreme Council of the Al
liance at Indianapolis by Marion But
Ieiof North Caro!iur.,and unanimouslv
adopted:
"Resolved, That b"ing in possession
of facts that are thoroughly reliable.
which warrant us in a belief that
false est imate. has been purposely made
of the present crop of cotton, we feel
safe iu guaranteeing . better prices if
cotton can be held for sixty days."
We know that many will be forced
to sell in order to do themselves and
their creditors jus;ice but bd every

There is a little paper down in our

to keep the poor ignorant farmeis out
of the third party, and he has lost hi.
little third party petition that he said
was going about with red tape on ft,
and we little Alliance. fellows have been
helping' him to hunt it, but have failed
to find it. I guess we are not con
servative enough. When our big Al
liance meets in January we are all
going to get conservative and put in a
whole day and see if we can find that
petition. We fear something dreadful
lias happened to those two fellows who
were carrying the petition. We can't
find them. In the meantime we ar
