"Men talk sincerely," once said W, T. Stead, the great apostle of peace, "about loving one another, about the universal brotherhocd of man, and in the same breath they assert that it is right to burn and maim and kill in war. They are not so logical as a young colored recruit who served in the Philippines. This youug man at the cud cf bi:j initial engagement was hauled before his captain. ' 'So you ran at the first fire, did you?' said the captain scornfully. " 'Yes, sah, an I'd 'a' run sooner, sab, if I'd knowrd it wuz comin'.' " 'Have you no regard for your repu tation, Calhoun?' " 'Mali reputation hain't nuffin to me, sah, 'longside o' man life. .'" "The captain smiled and twirled his mustache. Here was an intelligent young man. He'd talk him over to the right point of view. " 'Even if you should lose your life, Calhoun,' he said, 'you'd have the sat isfaction of knowing that you had died for your country.' " 'Wot satisfaction could dat be to me, sah, when de power o' feelin' It wu5 gone?' " 'Then patriotism means nothing to you?' " -Xffiu, sah. I wouldn't put mah life in do scales agin any government dat ebcr existed, for no government could replace de loss o' me.'

The harness room should be shut off as completely as possible from the main part of t'-e stable. Space at the end of the row of stalls or a box near the center may be fitted up to hold the harness, and, while it appears more convenient to hang har ness up on pegs behind the team one strijs it off. it is not much more trou ble. after all, to place the leather safe- ly away. It pays to-do so, because it moans money saved in harness and re pair bills. - . A Believer In Alfalfa. Properly cared 'for, Professor Sam uel Frascr of Cornell experiment sta tion considers alfalfa one of the best crops that farmers can produce. On Professor Fraser's farm are some old pasture lands, w ith which he has trkd various plans of renovation. The sim plest plan he finds Is to harrow and sow about a dollar's worth of grass seed per acre annually for two or three years in succession, using blue grass and white clover. Trofessor Samuel Fraser is a great believer in clover as - a foundation crop. He thinks a good crop of clover plowed under with half a ton of lime per acre is better than ten tons of barnyard j manure and ahead of anj commercial fertilizer as a crop producer. The poorest soils on the place under this treatment give better crops than the best soils without such treatment. American Cultivator. Feed For an Idle Horse. As to the feed for- aa idle horse, something depends upon the desire of the owner. If it Is the intention to get him in good flesh and his blood is in good condition he may be grained CITIZENS BANK as heavily as when at work without auy injurious effect. On the other hand. It is often advisable to cut down Ids grain ration one-third' when he Is not at labor. If his grain, for in stance, is divided into three parts and he is fed in the morning, at noon and at night, let the noon meal be cut out, or, what is better, cut down each feed just one-third. If a full grain ration is fed, for example, on Sunday, when the horse is idle, there is just a little danger of producing indigestion, and in some cases colic is the result. Homestead. To Destroy Canada Thistle. A good method to kill Canada thistle is to go over the ground once every two weeks after mowing in June and cut off every thistle about two inches belowr the surface with a hoe or spud. A spud made of a strong, sharp chisel on the end of a pitchfork handle -will be found most convenient for this work. The second year the spudding should begin as soon as the thistles show in the spring and should be con tinued through the season, although there will be few to cut after mid summer if the work has been well done. The land should be looked over occasionally each year afterward to detect and destroy plants that may spring from dormant seeds. Orange Judd Farmer. By the time she was ready to dress to go out to dinner Mary Bowen was so tired that she felt she would have preferred to stay at home and go to bed early. And yet she had looked forward eagerly for two days to this dinner at the Valentines' new house. That she should feel out of sorts when the time actually had arrived added to the sense of grievance against things in general that had been grow ing very strong within her of late. Mary Bowen had been married four years, and she was beginning to think of herself as a disappointed woman. Her husband was always good and kind, devoted to her and the two babies, but he had failed to surround her with the comforts she felt she de served. She felt annoyed at times at his very goodness. It was positively irritating to have any one always so sweet tem pered. It was almost a weakness. If he were more of a fighter he would probably get on faster in his business and she would not have to take all the care of the babies with only aJggn eral girl" to help in the house. When she spoke sharply to Will he would look vaguely distressed, or, pat ting her shoulder, would remark gen tly, "Poor Mary, you're tired out." Well, she felt tonight she was tired out. She and her husband were going to dine with her oldest friend, who had married a year before. The Val entines had gone abroad for a honey moon that had lasted a whole year. Now they had come back into a house that had been built and furnished dur ing their absence and stood completely ready to receive them. As Mary laid out the blue crepe de chine that had been one of Jier trous seau gowns she felt bitterly that things were not very evenly divided in this world. Her husband came in, and to his wife's frequent look of appea with a laugh cruelly careless. "Poor Caroline!" she thought. There was no room in her mind for "poor SJary" now. She looked at her hus band. He did look tired, as Caroline said. There were circles under his eyes and his cheeks looked hollow. A lump came into her throat. He worked every day of his life faithfully and hard, without complaining,- while she, becase she also had to work, complained constantly of her lot. Who was. she that she should ex pect to lay down her burdens? And how good he was to her, how he al ways tried to please her, to make her happy! As she took part in the general talk she longed to cry -out to him, "Forgive me. oh, forgive me!" It was ver at last. Mary and Caro line went back to the drawing room and left the men to their cigars. How beautiful your house is, Caro line!" said Mary. "Yes. isn't it? But the credit goes to the architect and the furnishers and decorators. 1 think I shall feel more at home when I've been here longer. I've thought since I came of the way you and ill furnished your little house, picking out everything together, and how you made your own curtains. Your house looks like you. This is beautiful, but there isn't anything really of us in it." Then Mary asked about the trip, and Caroline told her about the many placcsthey had seen. But she broke off suddenly to say, in a low tone: "Mary, don't think It's always the way it Is tonight. He does try, and I help him, and he will conquer. I'm sorry you've seen, but we all have our bur dens to bear." When at last Mary and Will got away and walked down the street to gether Mary said: "Let's walk home. The air feels good, and my head aches." "Poor little woman!" said Will ten derly. "You're tired. But it's true what Caroline said. You look as sweet and pretty as a rose. 1 looked at you across the table tonight and then at Caroline and thought what a lucky fellow I was to get you, Mary." He patted the hand that lay on his arm and continued: "And didn't you think the house awfully stiff? It's very fine, of course, but it reminded me of a high priced club more than a home, But I know there are lots of things we need, dear, and we'll have them in time, so don't get discouraged." "OU, Will, don't, don't! lou are killing me!" said Mary, clinging to his arm, while the tears overflowed and choked her. "Why. Mary, what is It? Her hus-! band stopped in genuine astonishment and tried to look at her. "It is just that I want you to for give me. 1 ve been so hateful and hor rid, but I do love 3-ou more than all the world. Say you forgive me, Will. She was sobbing, and Will took her gently in his arms. "I have nothing to forgive, dearest." Mary did not try to show him all she felt he had to forgive, but she pressed her lips to her husband's in mute pledge. Then, arm in arm, they walked along the silent street toward home.

One orchardist is said to" have In creased tbc yield of his orchard from 15 to 2.10 bushels in the following manner: lie reduced the topti of the trees one-fourth; then In the fall he plowed between the trees.

The next spring he re peated the same form of cultivation, and that year, in addition to the good crops or corn, Deans ana pumpitins, harvested seventy bushels of good ap ples.

If she could have driven to the Valen tines life would have looked less gloomy. Mrs. Valentine received her guests in a beautiful drawing rtfoin, herself attired In d Faris creation that made Mary's old gown seem to her own con sciousness terribly shabby. "Dear Mary!' murmured Caroline Valentine, kissing, her friend. "How do you do, Will? It seems to me you look tired. You mustn't let him work too hard, Mary. You know he'd never think of himself till he dropped." "Mary's the tired one," laughed Will Bowen. "Is she? She looks as sweet aud fresh as ever," responded Mrs. Valen tine. Then, a little nervously, she added: "Dick got home late tonight, and we will have to wait for him a few minutes. He was very sorry." A slight ' constraint fell upon the three, who continued to converse, nev ertheless. until at last Dick Valentine appeared. Neither Mary nor Will had known him before he married Caroline. He was very rich and had charming man ners, and to Mary a sort of halo had seemed to hover over him in her thought of him as her friend's hus band. He greeted his guests with enthusi astlc apologies,, and his words had the A Cream Puff Cure. A young woman teacher in a school In one of the poorer parts of the city was overcome by a sudden attack of illness one day. She dismissed the class, telling the boys she felt too ill to continue, but hoped to be quite well by the next day. The teacher rested her head on her arms and sat at her desk a few minutes waiting for strength to start on the journey homeward. She was only dully conscious of what was going on about her and did not notice a group of the ragged youngsters gath ered by the door in deep consultation In a little while she heard some one softly say. "Teacher," and looked up. It was the raggedest boy of the lot, and he was holding out a paper bag full of something. "What is it, Jimmle?" she asked. "Somethiu' t' eat," replied Jimmle. "But I'm not hungry." "Yes, you are." iusisted the ragged philanthropist, winking at her gravely. "Nobody's sick except when they're hungry.

An unsuccessful effort was made to induce congress to appropriate $10,000 to cover the expeuses of transporta tion to Gettysburg of such surviving troops as could not properly march to that point. The monument and mark ers' have huon erected, and it lias been decided to dedicate them with appro priate ceremonies this summer despite the failure of congress to respond to the appeal for financial assistance. The survivors of the 212 regular or ganizations which took part In the decisive battle of Gettysburg are scat tered far and wide In the United States. The committee will exert every reasonable effort to secure a fair representation of the survivors at the dedicatory ceremonies. It is ex pected that the date and other details will be arranged In a short time. Mice Follow Seeds. If the government continues its poli cy or allotting tree seeds to members of congress it will not be many years until men stenographers have all the desirable clerical places in the house of representatives. The new $3,000,- " 000 office building of the house Is over run with mice, and the women em ployees are more concerned over this fact than they arc at the prospect that the Payne tariff bill will raise the price of hosiery and gloves. Under the law each representative receives about 10,000 packages of garden sced3 annually. Many members have had their allotments sent to their rooms in the office building, and with the seeds have come the mice. The Senate Restaurant. The senate has got itself into a most embarrassing fix. It has con structed in its handsome new $4,000, 000 office building the finest and most complete kitchen, or series of kitchens, . anywhere to be found. It has also fashioned beautiful marble dining rooms. And now not a 'soul can be found who will think for a minute of running them and furnishing grub to the hungry senators and their clerks even at nice high prices. This is passing strange, too, for the kitchens and dining rooms, with fur niture complete, are all free, as well as light, heat, electric power and fuel. The President's Desk. If the thousands who sit in the pres-1 ident's reception room in the White House waiting for an audience only knew it they might make the time seem less monotonous by contemplat ing tho principal article of furniture, the executive's desk. It is handsome and massive, with a wealth of carv ing, but its chief interest consists In its historic origin. You all know that Sir John Franklin went to discover the north pole and never came back. His good ship Resolute drifted in the currents of the Arctic ocean, spared from destruction in some mysterious manner, until she reached the waters off the shores of Alaska, where some American whalers boarded her and claimed her.

Power Going to Waste. "The people of this country," said the senator, talking of Jiis scheme in behalf of Washington, "have no con ception of the possibilities of the wa ter power of the rivers which are net used for navigation.
