I believe, been fbeorded. A wealthy eonnoisseur with a rodmfal of beautiful Turner drawings, wjm iu the habit of Instructing a firm j well known as bonorabte picture dealers to overhaul bis drawings, hut his Triyners had uot for some time been touched. Snd the glasses bad become much dark ened with dust On his leaving fto wd the senior member pf the firm went to bis bouse and brought away the? pre ci'xis drawings and. carrying tbem Into the room lehind tbeshnp. to the first drawlna out of Its frame and , mount preparatory to dusting li and laid It on the table Being suddenly 'ailed Into the shop by a customer, he v-overed It with a sheet of WhaHman Tapr and lft it Ills luothvr -eiitered .'rom the street and passed into the pii rate room. A moment lanr t hp pother ollowed and found him. kuife lo liand, cutting a mount on the top of thf Tur ner. WItb a cry,-he rhsbed to toJHer and lifted It. and there tho, borrlrii uroMiers found the 2.0CH) guinea draw 'ng cut Into two piecesT What was to r be done? -o make a clean brvas of ft was apparently out of the cuvsthn. so H was determined to call in the ele ver , arth t p-d repairer attached to the; firm, and Lk joined the pieces and remounted the drawing: ajjd down where th? ver tical cut was be boldly jointed in a tree! The picture was lu due course taken back and renting In time for Vtie owner's return. A couple of day late came an urgent letter calllnj? the deah.i .to the house. "Look at this drawing said the cnllpetar "What iMumo. it 11 iv r" There's a tree here. I never Saf that tree before!" "No more did I." .uietl.v replied the dealer. "I told you that you would hardly recognise the drawings when the glasses had been cleaned in side and out Why. yon could hardly see thenar.

Wbsoii of Dobfoh & Cnt'm went Into the front office, -where he found a voung' 'man who In his iuupcerree' ud ndtted thai hla father had recently lied auil lKft him $10,000 and ft amall farm. Ills pur)ose was to sell, the farm hud buy a larger troet some where which was liable to Improve In value "I've got Just the thing' yqtu want" said Dobson, taking put a bearftiftilly dra wn map. "T-bere's 800 aeres of it which we can sell you at $100 an acre. This will: leave you n coup4e of thou sand for ' ImprovnjBtents besides your farm. There's obiy one trouble about K my selling It to you. My partner- is dead set upon our. teklng ourselves. I would 'be In favor of -it, too, bat we've got so mueb now we can't pay the taxes." r The young farmer studied the map deliberately and -after he had finished said he would go and look at the prop erty. FKbson touched a bell. .An offlce boy entered and was directed to call Mr. Cram. The Junior partner earne in and was Informed by Mr. Dobson that he had offered the farmer the Gardner tract at $100 anlaere. where upon a violent quarrel ensued, at the end of, which Mr. Cram-left the room in a buff thretitehjng to 'enjoin his i partner from makhiK the sale. Dobson ,was so angry that he vowed the trade should be made before Cram had a chance to Interfere. The youhg'ruan took the book and paid two ten-dollar bills to bind the bargain. Before be left the offlce be had drawn- a check on his bank for $8,000 and had a deed for 800. acres of swamp and bill land, the latter cov ered with a second growth of worth less timber. , ' "Goodby. Mr. Dobson, be - said at parting. 51 shan't forget your effort in ray Jehalf. and I hefpe- It won't get .von ltrto trouble Avlth Mr Cram." ' He had no sooner gone than the two Kirtnprs were congratulating each oth er on the sale. "Shake, old man." said Dobson 'Ton played your part beautifully." "But you . landed him. He's as inno cent as a kitten." Two years passed during which nei therDobson nor Cruui heard anything of the Gardner traet or Its purchaser, when one day Cram said to Dobson: .Tlie young man we scooped with that ssvanip ami tlra!er land In Boonton county.

Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without h Virginia Fertilizers that these fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were made only for land top poor to produce without them. If poor land will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will show at least double the ihcrease. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers to increase the quality, is well as the quantity of the crop and you will increase the profits from your land. . "I have been using your, fertilizers for a number of yearsn says Mr. William Fraiser, of Glasbnrg, La., "and find that it net only pays to fertilize, but to do plenty 6f it, and use the best fertilizers to be had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and found them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other fertilizers that I have ever used."
