Letter to D. H. Riggan.
Warrenton, N. C.
Dear Sir: Now, may be, you can't
get the goods; if you can, your fortune
is made.
Cotton cloth they call it muslin in
some parts at about the usual price
per yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better, keeps
white and whole a surprising time in
all sorts of wear. - t
You could sell that' cloth for hun
dreds of miles; there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer, one buys less
often. It always looks right till well
worn-out. No que customer buys so
much of it, but think of the number of
customers:
May be you can't get it in cloth; but
you can in paint: Dcvoe. Devoe is
as if it were wider; a gallon goes
further; you buy less gallons: you pay
for less gallons; you pay for painting
less as if one paid lessfor making a
gjirment of that wide cloth and it
keeps its fresh look and sheds water
till you have forgotten how old it is.
It isn't true in . cloth, but it is in
paint: the less you pay, the better it is;
for the goodness of paint is reckoned
by gallons: less gallons, more good
ness. Goodnessin paint is strength.
The stronger a paint, the less gallons
it takes for a job and the longer it
wears.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.,

MISS REM BERT
I was sitting by a stream reading.
As I continued to turn the pagea of
my little book my dog . rose and trotted
away from mc as If drawn by some
more kindly presence -than my own. I
turned-to see which way he was going
and what caused his sudden move. A3
1 did so, f roiii a tree behind me, about
twenty feet away, I caught sight of the
light, gauzy folds of a Avcman's dress,
l white hand pat my dog's back and a
air face fieneath. a flowery straw hat
pwpmg around at. me. - '? -

distressed, perhaps frightened, you," I
said. .'. .v.-- - '- .;"".
"Not. at all. I fove dogs, and this 13
a noble fellow," she answered gracious
ly and again stroked old Bootes in a
manner that made me wish myself In
his place. """ . ...
' "You are an artist and .have been
sketching, I see." . s' .
"No, not an artist, but hoping to be
come one. I have sketched a very pic
turesque scene over ou tue little creek,'
and, coming here to rest, I have
sketcheuTthaJ! grand old Iree which the
winds have laid lo "'. , -
"May I see your sketches?" f asked,
unwilling to retreat from her presence
so soon. -; "-
"Certainly. Won't you . sit down?"
she answered as though she felt per
fectly safe with me. . - v -
She sui-prised - mo by saying: "Are
yon not Mr. Caine? I am sure I have
seen your picture at the house of my
cousin, Teter Bentley. I think you
were at Harvard together.
"Why, yes, that Is so," I stammered,
overwhelmed with embarrassment
over my own boldness.
Making proper inquiries concerning
her cousin Peter, I dropped on ihe turf
beside her and began to examine and
criticise her sketches without having
had the courtesy to apologize for com
ing upon her with such freedom and" to
ask her name. But she soon told me
who she was Miss Agatha Eembert,
a visitor to the town aud but recently
arrived. She was enjoying a rest from
city life in the home of a maiden aunt
who lived In a cottage just over the
hill.
The sketches and the dog had opened
the way for further conversation, and
I was soon wholly and delightfully ab
sorled with this unexpected compan
ionship. I began to question if it wouldn't be
Just as well for me to spring up and go
on after the fishes. But the fair crea
ture did not seem ia the least abashed
or disturbed. I regarded her not only
wiih admiration, but with profoundest
respect. I forgot the dog, which trot
ted off home. I forgot the rod, which
fell in the grass and remained buried
there a week. I quite forgot, too,
that I was iu the presence of a lovely
girl, not by invitation, but unsolicited.
I chatted away as volubly as if I had
been asked to ventilate my opinion of
things in general. "It Is getting late,
and I must be going or aunt will come
hunting me," she iid at length.
Springing up as she gathered her
sketches together, I offered to assist
her to rise. She held her hands for
me to take them, saying sweetly,
"Thank you!" ' .
I took her by the tips of her fingers,
drew her to her feet, then good heav
ens, what possessed .me, what
prompted such unpardonable coward
ice and cruelty? still holding her,
lingers, I leaned forward and, scarce
knowing what?I did, kissed her cheek,
then stepped back, startled at my . out
ragwous action. She drew her hands
violently from my touch, and then I
beheld the grandest sight my eyes ever
looked upon a woman, beautiful, but
quivering In every fiber of her body
with surprise-and indignation. From
her eyes flashed resentment every ex
pression indeed but forgiveness and
fear. Voiceless and majestic, she
flung rebuke upon me .till I cowered
and would have fled from her pres
ence had I "not felt paralyzed, riveted
to" the spot. Seeing that I looked about
me for escape, she spoke, "Don't dare
to move until you have apologized for
this outrage."
Her neck did not bend, her arms
made no move, nor did her foot leave
its place. Her whole attitude, as her
brilliant eyes surveyed mo from head
to foot, was one to subdue-the sternest
heart or the " strongest brute. " It
seemed to me ages that she held me
thus at bay, and then I saw tears gath
ering in her eyes tears, woman's
weapon. . -. ' -
I fell on my knees and said in tones
as deep and solemn as my sense of
guilt: "Foi'give me! A thousand times
I ask it! I..; will protect you with my
life if you demand it and every other
woman who shall cross my path after
this moment!" :
- Without replying she turned and
walked from me toward the cottage
home. I followed like a culprit. As
she entered the little yard gate she
stopped and turning toward me said,
and I thought an angel spoke to me,
"I forgive yon, but don't again be so
false to yourself!" Then she moved
on to the house. -.
I watched her till she entered and
closed the door. Then I turned toward
the town a changed man. I was
wretched till I heard she had left; the
place. -
After five years of remorse' and pen
ance -1 addressed this beautiful girl
a letter, begging to be allowed to visit
her that I might again apologize for
my cowardly insult to her. That scene
in" the woods had so altered the current
and character of my life that I had
won professional honors and social
standing, which" I. thought should
recommend ine even to her consider
ationtolerance at least. I paid the
visit and wen back her respect, and
then I won her lore and the acknowl
edgment that a kiss is something not
to. be despised or rejected, but-it has

-The average city business man with

fully on such an exereise senedtile as
the following: y
First. Five minutes each day of
purely, muscular exercise, such as can
be taken perfectly well in one's room
without any special apparatus.
Second-. Short intervals during the
day of fresh air, brisk walking,' deep
breathing. This can all be secured in
the regular order of the day's business.
A rnaii can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out of doors
every day. This is for heart, lungs
and digestion. '
Third. The reservation of at least
one day a week for- rest and recreation,
for being -v out of doora, for playing
games, etc. This is essential. This is
for both body and mind. A man who

the professor said that a bite of .o

and more horrible death than the bltG
of a serpent. Professor Miller, "who ha3

Care of Honey.
The average housekeeper puts honey

A low dowivhrrndy vragou should be

Massachusetts farmer in American Cul
tivator. If the fruit will grade largely
fancy; it better to have, them picked
by-the day; if fair to ordinary, then by
the barrel. Care should be taken that
the fruit 13" not dropped or bruised in
picking. As soon as the fruit is placed
in. barrels it should be removed to
some convenient shed or storage house,
every effort being made at this time to
get the fruit from the trees. Any at
tempt to do . both picking and sorting
at the same time would so divide the
manager's time that neither would be
a success. After picking, If a sale of
the fruit has been made, one can turn
his attention to sorting and packing.
Care should be taken to grade the fruit

The Silo nnd the Dairy.
Milk is more cheaply made by good
grass than in any other way, and next
to grass conies silage, because It fur
nishes the cheapest and most desirable
substitute for grass, writes a New
York farmer in National Stockman. It
is trite .that It costs considerable to
make, silage, but careful tests show
quite conclusively that silnge from
corn Is a more desirable feed for cows
than the corn crop preserved and fed In
any other way, and this after allowing
the cost of harvesting and storing the
crop. There is nothing like silage to
keep the dairy cow's appetite on edge
throughout the long winter period. It
also keeps her system in good condi
tion, which is a very important matter,
and gives her a relish for her food.
Seeding Down to Grass.
The last of August and the first of
Ceptembcr is the best' time in the whole
year for seeding down land to grass,
sayB American Cultivator. Where the
land is too wet to admit of planting a
hoed crop it may be plowed up and re
seeded directly upon the inverted soil.
If the bottom is too soft for two horse3
to plov.7 easily abreast, It may be-often
managed by-working two or three
horses tandem, keeping them all the
time on the sod. It, will not be easy
to cart manure on to such, land after
plowing, but a dressing of ground bono
and wood ashes or other good ferti
liser may easily be spread and harrow
ed In with the seed, and there will be
no trouble in top dressing such land
with manure In winter when frozen.

A New Potato.
A report received by the department
of commerce and labor frosi the Brit
ish vice consul at Rouen, Franco,
states that the cultivation in Franco
of a new potato brought from" Uruguay
has been observed for some time with
great interest A variety of this pota
to, called the Solanum commersonil
violet, is said to possess excellence of
taste as well as a nutritive value and
is equal to the best potato known In
France. This variety is distinguished
by its resistance to frost, jis also, to
disease, and Its one great advantage
is that it prospers most in a damp or
swampy soil and, whether clayey, cal
careous or siliceous, seems equally
adapted for its culture, provided it la
damp.

sections, called dry beet pulp, was tried
at the New Jersey station with two
lots of cows during two periods of fif
teen days each, but the pulp proved
less profitable than corn silage. On the
silage ration 'the cost of 100 pounds of
milk was 2.8 cents less, and the cost of
one pound of butter .01 cents less than
when the pulp ration was fed. Tho
pulp ration, however, Increased tho
yield about 10 per cent as compared
with tho feed of s'.lage, although the
cont wa3 greater. Tho results, how
ever, do net prove but that pulp would
make cn economical feed on farms
where there is no corn silage.

A writer in an English paper says:
"Some diversity of opinion prevails as
to whether it Is desirable to crush
oats In feeding hordes "or not. It is
frequently held that crushed oats are
better and more digestible for horses
than whole ones. Speaking In a gen
eral way, practical experience does not
support this opinion, and as a general
rule whole oats are to bo preferred to
crashed ones for horse feeding pur
poses." ' ,
