ed In the lawyer's car, lul not so low
I could not licur him. 'lie million me

see lilin ro away. Ho makes me re
member the days of my youth.'
" 'Ho 1h only going for a physician.
Yon need a stimulant, and -whatever

will not be absent long. There must
be a doctor In tin; neighborhood.'
" 'Yes. yes. iktush the street, but I
do not like him. he Is stern nnd un

don't let this gentleman ro for one. I
should hate to die before be comes

"Touched by this mark of fooling in
my behalf . I started quickly for the
door.
" 'I will not be gone ten minutes,' I
declared, and was rewarded by a smile,
the sweetness of which I have not yet

"When I returned with the eminent
physician, Ilootor llowne, I noticed
that the countenance of both the sick
man and the lawyer wore a changed
nlr. The former was excited, oven
more than when I left him, while the
latter cast upon me very peculiar
looks. As the doctor moved toward
the bed. 1 asked the meaning of these
looks, whereupon my frloud whis
pered :
"'He lias been asking the longest
string of questions about yon. lie
wanted to know how you lived, what
were your characteristics, and whether
you had a name for uprightness and
honor. We have talked of nothing else
but yourself since you have been gone,
and I should ceriair.Iy think he con

had not shown such satisfaction at

a lawyer ami a citisen I feel It In
cumbent upon me to suggest that you
should make a will, Mr. Oelaiicy. if
you do not. there will be more wrang
ling ami litigation after your death
than before it, anil this, I have no
doubt, you wish lo avoid.'
" 'Yes. yes.'
"'.Shall I listen to your wishes, then?
Have you decided to what friend or
friends you would like to leave this
money Y
" "1 have decided,' said the sick man.
'1 wish it all to go to one person.'
" 'No matter how large the sum mav
be':'
" 'Xo matter how large the sum is;
the larger I lie belter, I say. Ah! this
is a delight after years of vain desire
ami want.'
"The lawyer tlrew up u small table,
placed upon It writing materials, and
begun to till in the draft of a will
which he had brought with him. While
he was doing this I talked with the
doctor, ami lent such assistance as was
necessary to make the dying man com
fortable itud keep up his strength.
When it came time for him to mime the
person to whom be wished to leave
Ids money I withdrew as far from him
as possible, but the room was too
small for me to escape hearing the
eager whisper that left Mr. Delaucy's
lips, even If the words had Hot been the
familiar ones:
" 'Hamilton Degraw."
"'You wish 'the lawyer stammered,
ns much taken back as I was myself.
"'To leave nil my property, real ami
personal, to this gentleman, whose,
name you say Is Hamilton Kcgraw.'
" 'l!ut,' I now cried, with an embar
rassment easily to bi understood: 'I
lint a stranger to you: ns much of a
stranger as either of these gentlemen.
1 pray you to reconsider this mali r.
1 do tun need your wealth. Itesides '
"'Don'i waste the precious nioiiieiiis,'
he entreaii d. with a burst of his omin
ous cough. You are a stranger, but
you have a face like my hrotber

alive, and so I believe are you. And
that is what I want; loyalty and truth
In my heir. They will both be needed.
I forewarn you. AVrite down the

"and be sere you make the will legal or
1 will rise from my grave to icproa' h

"There was no use in trying further
discussion. H... was in l uil possi ssi.iti
of Ills faculties, as even the doctor was
ready to swear. Inn be was growing
very weak, and opposition robbed him
of even th" sli'.-ht remains of strength
which were still left liiiu. Mr. Cut till'.',
who was pale as the paper i.:i which
he wrote, put down my name, as re

II seems like quite an undertaking
to clean a harness, and it cannot be
done in a lew minutes, but if one
knows just how to go aboil! it. it is
not an unpleasant piece of work, lt
must first be taken to pieces, every
strap unbuckled, ami if mi amateur is
lining the work be should pay partic
ular attention to the peculiar way in
which baekslrap and cheekrein are
buckled. If the harness Is dry and
Mi IT. give it n good soaking in warm
water, using white easlile soap and a
brush to clean olf the dirt. Hang It
up to drain, and before quite dry apply
tiealsfoot oi! with a paint brush, l.et it
dry till the next day. Then, if the
harness still seems hard, apply another
coat of oil. When the oil lias soaked
ill, so.ip it all over with while eastile
soap, having sponge or rag moistened
and very soapy. After this treatment,
an occasional soaping will keep the
harness In order for a long time. Ite
fore the harness is put together, any
broken places should bo mended. I'se
a needle and put shoemaker's wax on
the- thread. An awl is necessary in
some places.- Indiana Fanner.

Those who raise poultry for eggs
have probably selected the young stock
for winter laying, and liny should be
located where they arc getting all the
green food they need, yet not running
over too much area. After spending
all the summer on a range of con
siderable size, it is a good plan to
bring the pullets in nearer the bouse
and give them n smaller range; room
enough to get plenty of exercise, but
not enough so that they will run off
the muscle and weight gained during
the slimmer. They must not go into
winter quarters fat. but they should be
plump and with enough vitality to
stand the confinement. If any are ail
ing, seiia rate from the rest of the
tloek, nnd if they are not readily killed
by simple remedies, kill them and burn
the carcasses, bearing in tnind that one
cannot afford to take an ailing bird into
winter quarters. I'rovide a place for
the surplus cockerels, so that they will
no trouble the pullets or bens, and as
soon as they can be put in proper shape
sell them for what they will bring. He
eerta'n, however, the best specimens
have been selected for keeping up the
strain. I'se these selected cockerels
for mating with the older hens at
breeding season, and the millets of last
spring male lo a two year old cock.

The means of preventing a ben from

Inventor, bip the matter has been re
cently attacked by a genius of Hritisli
Honduras, who is so sure that be lias
found the solution of this mighty mat
ter, that lie bus gone to the trouble
of taking out pateut papers in this nnd
other countries. The device certainly
has the reeouimendatioii of simplicity,
ami is built on the well-grounded as
sumption that n hen cannot afford to
"set" while in a standing position, nnd.
therefore, by keeping her on her feet
she can lie effectually frustrated in her
purpose of prevent iug race suicide.
The apparatus eonsists merely of a

manner that the fowl's freedom of
foot is not interfered with in her or
dinary ramble about the barnyard in
seareh of food: but the moment she
tries to locate herself on a nest slit?
finds a yawning chasm between them.
She may hover around i ml over the
nest, but if refuses to receive her
rotund form. This is because the
wire loop which has been fastened
to her prevents her from bend
ing her leg, as is necessary to as
sume the selling posture. It is said
that after repealed efforts to iind a
hospitable nest she gives up her task
and forgets her dream of maternity.
llMlry Notes.
Ounces of feed tin not bring pounds
of butler. Feed well if you would g"t
full mill, pails.
Some men spend a great deal of time
and strength eduealing their cows,
when all the time it is the men them
selves who need educating the worst
way.
One of the surest ways in the world
to make butler smooth and greasy is
!n overheat the cream while ripening it.
And that is th" kind of hum r that will
in it keep very long.
No man evi r learned bow to scrimp
a cow and not have the cow catch III 111
at il. She may bo a fool, but she is
(no smart for any man who thinks he
can client her that way.
Th" man who says dirt will strain
out does not Uuow what be is talking
al t. The strainer that will take
lllth out of iiiiili has never been in
xei'teil. It can not be invented.
!i is iho man who understands each
nl r n his cows that gets most out of
ihcin. That calls for patient siuiiy.
not for a day. but for years. I'm it is
studying thai pays in dairying, after
all. '
We never bad I liter keep better then
when we used lie gootl. old fashioned
oak tub. Nothing holier in the way of
a package will ever bo discovered,
either, Ihan that same old fashioned
oak tub.
The hands must come into use all the
way in butter making, but they never
should come in direct contact wl'.h ilie
butter itself. Take il nut with a ladle,
work it Willi a ladle and put it into
th" package with a ladle.
The cow's bag is not made of India
rubber. Some of us act as if wo
thought it was, and that the cow litis
no fooling in it. I'.ul she has. She is
1 Ik most sensitive of creatures and
no doubt suffers much at the hands of
her milkers.
About the poorest way to make the
builor come that 1 know of is to po.ir
hot water into lb" cream or sot the
churn by the stove for an hour or two.
("ream that has been properly ripened
will come all right without any such
doctoring, and doctored cream mal.es

A New Mutrrlttt.
A new silk material is called Iron
erepe. Mid resembles crepe tb chine.
It is said to wear well, and to wash
perfectly. Such a fabric ought to be
come very popular. If it retains its
beauty fter washing it would be an
ideal matt-rial for infants' coats and
bonnets.
Tlift Latent Fit'U ill Hair llrenmeiitii.
To-day the fashionable girl coils tier
hair low on her neck, and il is espe
cially with this style of coiffure that
she needs sonic dainty ornament as a
finishing touch for the top of the coil.
The very latest novelty of the moment
is a graceful feathery spray In the
form of an open pond lily and a bud.
At one side of the coil the lily and the
bud are caught, while at the other side
Is a smaller hud and ft leaf.
Another odd little hair ornament
which is pretty and original in effect,
yet very simple to make, is of braided
strands of satin ribbon, wide enough
to make a two-inch band, which is only
long enough to just ouiline the top of
the coil, while at either side it is
finished with a little silk tassel.
Hair nets are being worn again, and
the girl who lias light hair has her net
studded with bits of shining jet. while
for evening wear the clever dark
haired girl lias some threads of gohl
interwoven w ith the mesh of her net. -Woman's

The wife who tries to keep alive her
husband's love for his mother, not
I only in bis heart, but in outward ob

ami who is always thoughtful and

of the many comes with the love of

sweetheart better because of bis
mother and sisters, be may love them
better because of her. ,
The poor, heart liimg-'"y mother who

Holing there, caught by the camera,
an irritating insolence of pose assumed
by many young women in the siily
effort lo look as much like "(iibson
girls" as they can. If character can be
unfavorably affected by Ihe reflex ac
tion of unlovely expression, these
women are on the road that lends to
snobbery, which is rather a parvenu
than an "aristocratic"' truit. besides
pitilessly distorting their bodies.
Hut is not Mrs. Ayres mistaking
cause for effect '! Women cannot be
come eight feet tall merely because an
artist so represents them. As for Ihe
"kangaroo walk" am! that insolent
droop of eye and uptbrust chin, are
these assumed because Mr. (lib.ton
draws thein so, or does h? not. rather
draw them because they happen to he

I heard Mrs. IPibbins commended the
other day as a remarkably tine woman.
Her great merit had boon demonstrat
ed, her laudator said, by her making
Charles Itohhins Mich a good wife.
That means, of course, that she had
made a fairly good husband out of
Charles. When you hear of women
being good wives it is worth while (o
remember that the usual proof of a
good wife is a good husband.
It wtis no great trick to make u good
husband out of Charles, for lie was al
ways a man with proclivities towards
righteousness, but be is ail important
man wlili great opportunit iet of influ
ence and usefulness, and she is In trulli
an admirable wife for him, wise, hand
some, devoted and harmonious. I re
spect her opinion about girls and their
education because she is an exceed
ingly good example of ber kind of
American woman. Charles has got
rich, so she has the opportunities that
come with money, as well as those that
come with brains, but she would have
been just as valuable a partner to a
man with $1."imi a year as to u rich
man. Mrs. Itohbins went to a girls'
college, and she holds that girls who
can ought to go to college. Sending n
girl to college, she says, should he at
l"ttst as much a matter of course as
sending a boy lo college. She Ihinks
thai, of the two. the girls need il more,
because ti woman's life tends to b" nar
rower and more secluded than a man's,
and ordinarily she has Ies optima unity
for intellectual growth nf.r she mar
ries. Mrs. I.'iibbiiis complains that poo
pie who plan from the lirsl In send
their bovs In college still leave the
college llleStloU t.pell It S to tla-li" girls.
