Good clover follows good wheat, but it takes Potash to set the clover. Starved clover won’t feed the crop that follows it It needs a vigorous root and a sturdy growth for itself before it can gather nitrogen for you. Give it a good start by enough Potash with your phosphates in Ihis Fall’s seeding of wheat or rye. The clover will do the rest—you’ll see when you cut the clover. Clover, timothy, rye and oats, for turning under, or a crop in rotation— all need more Potash than commercial mixtures afford. We can prove by hundreds of practical field demonstrations, what a 6 per cent. Potash application will do—15 pounds per hundred of fertilizer. Potash is profit. Buy the Potash first.

A BLOODLESS EXECUTION

[Original! Two friends were discussing the possibility of killing a perfectly well man without doing him the slightest bodily hitrin, without frightening him to death or by tempting him to dissipation. One claimed that death could not be brought about except by some overt act to pro- [ duce bodily injury. ‘A man can he killed," the other | contended, “simply by going through I the form of au execution.” ‘That would he by shock." 'Not at all. He shall know beforehand that he Is not to surfer the slightest bodily harm.” To Illustrate the last speaker told the following true story: I.ang Ting Fung of San Francisco, washee-washee man, called Charlie Fung by his "Mellcan” nctpialntances, was accused of revealing the secrets of the T1 Whang society, of which he was a member. Summoned before the society to answer to the charge, he was assigned counsel anti duly tried. Though ably defended, he was convicted of having revealed certain methods of the S;in Francisco Chinese underground railroad for smuggling Chinamen Into the United States. The punishment was death, and the sentence was to be carried out immediately in the presence of the assembled members of the society. “Call the executioner,” said the presiding officer in solemn tones that reverberated through the silent hall as If some one had struck a gong. A big Chinaman entered from another room, carrying one of those large sharp double edged swords with which culprits’ heads are stricken off in China. Over his face he wore a wooden mask representing distorted features. The culprit was led into the middle of the room and forced on to his knees. Another Chinaman, also on his knees before him, caught him by his pigtail and drew his head down so that the neck was laid bare to the ax. Then the smock was pulled over his shoulders. The executioner, taking the handle of his sword in both hands, threw himself into position, raised the

To Drive Away the Mail Order Wolf

You can drive him out quickly if you use the mail order houses’ own weapon —advertising. Mail order concerns are spending thousands of dollars every week in order to get trade from the home merchants. Do you think for a minute they would keep it up if they didn’t get the business? Don’t take It for granted thnt every one within a radius of 25 miles knows what you have to sell, and what your prices are. Nine times out of ten your prices are lower, but the customer is influenced by the up-to-date advertising of the mail order house. Every article you advertise should be described and priced. You must tell your story in an interesting way, and when you want to reach the buyers of this community use the columns of this paper.

brethren in America who are washing hard night and day for a living. The executioner after holding th« sword upon the culprit's neck for a few moments removed It and, resting Its point on the floor beside him, turn-

ed to the Judges and said: “The traitor is dead ”

The executed man arose to his feel and looked about him. No one Interfered with him, for he was dead. No one saw him, for he was dead. He said something to a man near him. The man made no reply. Why should he reply to a dead man? The members of the society were arising from their seats and leaving the hall. The decapitated man called to one who had been his bosom friend, but without avail. Death separates the quick and the dead, be they friends or ene-

mies.

Charlie Fung followed the others out Into the street. There he saw a poster proclaiming to Chinatown that he had been executed that evening. A policeman, seeing the notice, to him unintelligible, with Chinamen standing about It, wondered what the yellow devils were up to now. Could he have read it he would doubtless have carried a dreadful story to police headquarters. The dead man wandered about like a ghost from the spirit world. No one saw him; no one spoke to him; no one gave him a smtle or a frown. If he had had money, he might have returned to China, but would he have fared any better there? Would not an agent of the society he had betrayed follow him and do really the work that had been done figuratively. No; Char lie was dead, and nothing could bring him to life. If Charlie was not really dead, he was really dying that is, he was get ting into a condition whore death would be preferable to life. The post ers announcing his execution remained on the walls, and, go where lie would in Chinatown, he saw them They were the only mention of himself that he encountered.

that it must amount to more than ninetenths of the solar mass. That nucleus is the real sun, forever hidden from us. The outermost of the enveloping shells is about 5,(XX) miles thick und is called the chromosphere. It is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furiously active that It spurts up great tongues of glowing gas (prominences) to the height of thousands of miles. Time was when this agitated sen of crimson fire could be seen to advantage only during tin eclipse. Now special Hi struments are used which enable as tronomers to study it In the full glare

of the sun.

Beyond the chromosphere, fur beyond the prominences even, lies the nebulous pallid corona visible only during the vanishing moments of a total eclipse, aggregating not more than seven days In n century. No one has over satisfactorily ex plained how the highly attenuated matter composing both the prominences and the corona is supported without falling hack into the sun un dor the pull of solar gravitation. Now thnt Arrhenius has cosmically applied the effects of light pressure a solution •s presented. How difficult it is to account foi such delicate streamers ns the prominences on the sun Is better compre bended when we fully understand how relentlessly powerful is the grip of solar gravitation. If the sun were a habitable globe and you could transport yourself to its surface, you would find yourself pulled down so forcibly by gravitation that you would weigh two tons, assuming that you are an ordinary human being Your clothing alone would weigii more than a hundred pounds. Baseball could lie played In n solar drawing room, for there would lie some dilli culty in throwing a ball more than

thirty feet

Tennis would be degraded to a form of outdoor pingpong. From those 1 considerations It is plain thnt gravitation on the sun would tend to prevent the formation of any lambent streamers and to pull down to its surface masses of any size.—Harper’s

Mr. Spotz was running his hands through his hair shampoo wise because his stenographress had suddenly left. “Ten dozen letters to get out today and no chauffeur lady to run the typewriter!

How the Great Showman Turned His Death to Account. Among the features of the parades of the Baruum circus there was for merly one that never failed to attract attention. On the top of one of the wild beast cages lay an enormous lion He was uot conflued In any way, and nervous people watching the parade would shudder at the sight and con template the terrible possibility of the lion springing Into the midst of the crowd. Rut the venerable old king of beasts had reached the leonine dotage, and stiffened muscles and blunted claws rendered him harmless. He was as mild as a kitten and iu the winter quarters, where lie was allowed to roam at will, sometimes had to he protected from the onslaughts of irreverent and mischievous puppies. One night lie wandered from the quarters. In the course of his travels he chanced on a barn where a meek eyed cow was placidly chewing her cud. A faint flicker of the slumbering Jungle spirit stirred Ids pulse, and. with a crashing blow of (lie huge fore paw, the cow was slain: then, lying down beside Ids victim, he went to sleep and dreamed of the time when he was a shaggy little whelp playing with his brothers under the bright sun of his faroff African home. In the morning the owner of the cow, a stalwart female with the blood of Irish kings in her veins, entered the barn with milk pail In hand. She was filled with wrath at the sight that met her gaze. With a keen edged ax in her hand and grim determination in her eye site fearlessly approached.the sleeping lion, and when the men sent out to search for him arrived he lay cold iu death. Baruum promptly paid for the dead cow and engaged to appear ou exhibitiou “tlie woman who In mortal combat had slain a liou.”

If you don't get any letters from me you will understand that I'm well again. How will that do? Iu case you don't hear from me I'm oil right.” “Yes; that will be better.
