LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY"

School’s Out. Yep. our school hex let out fer two months and a day. An* they's nothin’ t’ do but t’ caper an’ play! We hev got a ball team an’ we won't do a thing, Far I’m pitcher an' captain an’ coacher, b' jlng! We hev built a new wharf at th' old swimmln’ hole. An* my Aunt Mary's sent me a new fishin' pole! “Skinny’’ Jones an’ myself we are makin' a raft— We're a-goln' t' sea when we've finished th' craft; An’ I guess we’ll be PIRATES, If ma don't object—- " Skinny” Jones sez t’ sneak an’ she'll never suspect! In "Th' Rua” in th’ brush we are buildin’ a shack Jist t’ ren-dez-vous in when they git on our track! An’ we've filled it with breakfast food, nuts and some WINE! UP above on th’ door we hev printed a sign. “JIST BeWAre," sez th’ sign, “If YE ENter IN HerE TE musT LeAve ttV YER hopE aN’ YER FEar in tHE rEar!” We are goln’ t’ divide all th' spoils thet we take—- " Skinny” Jones an’ X splits on th’ size of th' stake! An’ th' first thing I do I’ll git ma a new gown! It will be a green silk an th' best one in town! I suppose If she knew thet her boy sailed th' sea. Jist a-piratin' things, she’d refuse it frum me! But I guess thet I’ll tell her I ketch lots of fish An’ 1 sell 'em eround fer th’ price that I wish! But it’s sure thet my ma needs a new dress, fer fair, Fer I heered her tell pa she ain't "nothin' t’ wear!" Yep, our school hez let out fer two months and a day An' they's nothin’ t’ do but t’ caper an’ play! Gee! it's fun Jist t’ fish an' t' run around town— Gosh! 1 wish th' old school would take tire an’ burn down!

On the Quiet. The deaf man escapes the dago’s hand organ. A nincompoop is the other fellow to the argument! l ~ A canner can can but he cannot can a can, can he? One little ray of sunshine is worth a cloudburst of whine! One may lose one’s own sorrow 'helping another forget his. The more rope you give some men the less they like smoking! Imagination has caused more stomach aches than green apples! In selecting books for your vacation ■do not forget your check-book. It makes a difference whether people laugh at you for saying things, or at the things you say. When an author’s receipts are more than his outlay for postage, then he Snay be said to be successful.

If John Jones can run a mile in four aninutes, how long will it take Farmer fclagtop to weed an onion patch? Do not pick your teeth. Let the dentist do this. Having had more exiperience, he can match them better. A Pittsburg doctor says a hen has a mind. And a sense of humor, toq. Else why would she deposit her egg under the very center of the barn floor?

The Right Cow Side.

A city newspaper artist drew the picture of a milk man diligently engaged in milking a cow A country editor protested on the grounds that no highly respectable cow would permit a man to expurgate the lacteal fluid while sitting at the wrong side of the ■cow. “You are entirely mistaken.” replied the artist, "for had I not known that the cow would not kick, I should have never placed the man on the wrons side of the bovine, in fact, my cows never kick, my dogs never growl, my horses never run away, my portraits never speak. Thank God for that!” Some of the portraits of deceased notables always awaken the thought of the boyhood axiom, " ’Taln’t no fair to strike a man when he’s down."

Panhandles.

The red nose of a toper is never water colored. When calling, do not blow on your tea; fan it with your hat. If the June brides have all registered, w * will begin to compile the Christmas record. Get your wife to try drinking from a bottle. Ginger ale will do—and it’s snore fun than a circus. “Man may fly at will,” says a current magazine. At last the dream of love has come true —“Come fly, my love, with me!" No, dear, yon cannot plant bird seed and raise birds, but you can plant tosnatoes and raise your neighbors' (chickens any old spring.

The Yellow Holly

"She denied it and made some sort of excuse. I remained to bear no more. I knew then that Mrs. Jersey bad killed my Percy.” “But she did not. It was an accident." “I know. She explained. But she was the cause. I was right to kill her. But for her Percy would have been alive, I would have been his wife, arid you, George, would have been my stepson.” “What did you do next?” “I went up to my room and resumed my game of patience. I Intended to

Seated at the very table where her victim had gat.

have a talk with Mrs. Jersey the next morning, but when I found that she had struck Margery I came down at once”— “That was after 11?” “About a quarter past Mrs. Jersey waa in her room. We talked, and I told her what I had heard. She denied it. I pointed to the stiletto which was on the table as a proof that the girl had been here. Mrs. Jersey said that it was the same stiletto with which Percy had been killed, as Lola had received it from her mother. That put the thought into my head that God Intended Mrs. Jersey should be slain with the same weapon with which my darling bad been stabbed. "I accused Mrs. Jersey of having killed Percy. She gloried in the fact that it was through her be had died. She declared that if Ireland had not held her hand she would have laid him dead at her feet. She exulted that the hccldent had fulfilled her intention and taunted me with the fact that I never became his wife. I was very quiet,” added Miss Bull, her eyes glittering, “but my blood was boiling. Mrs. Jersey turned her back on me, with an insolent laugh, and sat down. The stiletto was on the table. Her head was turned away. I softly took the dagger and”— Miss Bull rose. “George, you now know all. Go! No, do not shakt* hands. 1 have avenged your father, and I expect I will be banged.” Margery burst out into renewed weeping, and Miss Bull soothed her. talking to George tiie while. “Tell my sister,” she said, “that the name of Howard will not be mentioned. 1 will die under my false name. No disgrace Will be brought on her. As to Dorothy” —here Miss Bull's eyes grew tender—“no disgrace will befall her. Marry her, George; love her, make her a good husband and take this kiss to her from a sorely tried woman." Before the astonished George knew what she was about he felt a pair of cold lips pressed to his own. The next moment she had pushed him out of the room and had locked the door. That was the last Gtajrge saw of her. Whether Margery bad agreed to die with her or whether Miss Bull, knowing what a miserable life the girl would lead after her death, compelled her to take the poison will never be known, but when the door was burst open the two women were found on the floor in one another's arms. Ou the table was an empty glass, and it was ascertained that Miss Bull and Margery had taken prussic acid. Bawdsey entered the room an hour after the death, alarmed by the silence. He found that his prey had escaped. Miss Bull was buried under her false name, and Margery was burled with her. Nothing of Miss Bull's sad past or of her killing of Mrs. Jersey came to light. Six months later George Vane was seated in the library of the mansion in St Giles square. It was after dinner, and Lord Derrington occupied his usual chair. The old man looked brighter and happier than he had looked for many years. Dally George grew a greater favorite with him, and on the morrow George was to be married. Lord Derrington had Insisted that as it was his last night as a bachelor George should dine alone with him and would not admit even Walter. “It’s the last time I’ll have you all to myself, George," said the old man piteously. "After tomorrow Dorothy will possess you.” “Not at all,” replied George, “you will have us both. We will come back i from the honeymoon in a month, and

then we will live here. A lady In the house will make a lot of difference. You won’t know this place when Dorothy Is flitting about.” “Don’t! Her mother is the kind of woman who flits.” “Oh, I don’t think we’ll be troubled much with Mrs. Ward. Since the shock inflicted by her sister’s sad death she has become religious.” "Bah! That's only a phrase. Poor Miss Bull!” said Derrington. “I like to think of her under that name. She had a sad litH I don't wonder she killed herself. Do you think she was mad, George?” “No. But I think the memory of hetwrongs, which were all caused by Mrs. Jersey, was too much for her. She was mad for the moment, but she told me the terrible story in the calmest man ner.” "And who came in at the'front door that night?” asked Derrington. “No one. After the murder Miss Bull opened it to fly—panic struck. I expect—but Margery came downstairs mid stopped her. Miss Bull closed the door and remained to face the worst." “Well, she is dead and buried, and the scandal is laid at rest, unless that Bawdsey revives it.” “Oh, you can trust Bawdsey,” said George, smiling. “He and Lola are quite happy, and she has almost forgotten me. I got a letter from Bawdsey the other day. He is acting as his wife’s agent, and they are making a lot of money.”

“All the better. He won’t talk about that business. By the way, I forgot to ask you about Ireland’s money?” “The money he left to me? I have settled that on Dorothy. How suddenly he died,” said George reflectively; “just an hour after I left the house.” “Well, five thousand a year is not to be despised. Have you settled it all on Dorothy ?” “Every penny. Don’t you approve?” “Oh' yes, so long as Mrs. Ward doesn’t get it.” "You can depend upon that, sir. But Dorothy will have it—Dorothy, whom I shall see tomorrow crowned with orange blossoms, and”— Derrington laughed, but not unkindly. “Well, well. Better orange blossoms than yellow holly.” George nodded. “I hope never to see yellow holly again,” be said, and Derrington agreed. So their conversation ended on the threshold of George’s new life with that last reference to the old. THE END.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

A Cause of Poor Separation. From experiments in Sweden to determine the cause of the unsatisfactory results occasionally noted in the separation of milk it has been shown that when the milk has been strongly agitated, as in certain methods of pasteurization, before separation a lower percentage of cream is obtained, says American Cultivator. In the skim milk when separated under good conditions the percentage of fat should not exceed 1 per cent If the milk has been previously agitated this amount may run up to 5 per cent. The explanation is that during the agitation some of the large fat globules are broken up into smaller sizes, although some may increase their volume. Very minute globules are separated with difficulty. The smaller they are the more effect has the stickiness of the milk upon them. The same difficulty is also noticed when dealing with the milk of cows that have been long in milk, the fat globules of their milk beiug much smaller than when newly calved. The conclusion drawn from the experiments is that milk intended for buttermaking should not be subjected to any violent agitation previous to passing it through the separator. Preventing Tomato Rot. Replying to an inquiry as to tomato rot, Professor Gulley of Connecticut says in American Agriculturist that the disease attacks the fruit from half grown till nearly ripe. Usually it is bad on the very early kinds, as the conditions are best at that season of growth—that is. hot combined with damp weather. The remedies are mostly preventive. First, get the vines up off the ground, where they can get plenty of dry air. This alone will often do much to control the trouble. Several sprayings at intervals of ten days about midsummer with bordeaux of strength will keep the vines free from blight and strong to resist this disease. There is also some evidence that It helps to prevent rot. Cora Cultivation. Opinions are strongly formed as to the proper number of plowings a corn crop should receive, writes an Ohio farmer in National Stockman. It may be wise to say that corn should be plowed as often as it needs It and never laid by. After the corn becomes too tall to be worked with the double cultivators Jt will be found profitable wherever possible to stir the surface with a one horse cultivator. Cultivation Is corn. Gluten Fur Dairy Caws. The experience of best feeders shows that the most economical method of using gluten Is to feed It with bran or

cornmeal at the rate of from three to five pounds dally. A good ration for the dairy cow would be gluten meal three pounds, cornmeal two pound*, bran two pounds, which would be fed with about thirty pounds of roughage, preferably two-thirds silage. Cor. American Agriculturist

The Be«t Calf Fee*. Separated milk as a food for calves when fed direct from the machine makes a model milk food. Careful experiments show that practically as good calves can be raised on separated milk direct from the machine as can be raised on whole milk, provided the butter fat lost In the removal of the cream is replaced by linseed meal, cornmeal or flour or molasses.—American Cultivator. Profit In Hens. There is a profit in every flock of bens except for the lazy man, and such a man never would make success at anything worth mentioning. Do not consider poultry on the farm as a side issue in the business, but consider it as an Important part of the farm. It takes but a small capital and gives the greatest per cent of profit.

Appeasing Conscience.

“In my morning walks,” -Remarked a Brooklyn clergyman in referring to his vacation, “I had as a companion an elderly gentleman, whose acquaintance I prized highly. After a cross country ramble of five miles one hot afternoon we stopped at a farmhouse for a drink of milk. I drained my glass, and how refreshing It was! But the old gentleman drank lightly and set his glass down with a goodly portion of the rich milk untouched. “ ‘Very fine drink,’ he said as we resumed our jaunt. “ ‘Then why didn't you drink all of it?’ I asked. “ ‘That’s the way I make my contribution to the conscience fund,’ he explained seriously. ‘When I was a boy I worked on a farm and was taught always, after rinsing, to leave a little water in the milk cans.’ ’’—New York Times.

When from any cause they become weak or exhausted, and fail to furnish sufficient power, the heart flutters, palpitates, skips beats; and in its effort to keep up its work, causes pain and distress, such as smothering spells, short breath, fainting, pain around heart, arm and shoulders. The circulation is impeded, and the entire system suffers from lack of nourishment. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure makes a heart strong and vigorous by strengthening these nerves and muscles. “I had palpitation and pain around my heart, and the doctors said It was incurable. 1 don’t believe it now, for after taking six bottles of Dr. Mlles’ Heart Cure, three bottles of the Nervine and three boxes of the Nerve and Liver Pills I am entirely cured, and feel better than I have for five years, and It is all due to these remedies. 1 want you to know that your medicines cured me. It relieved me from the first dose, and I kept right on till the pain in my chest was gone, and I kept on feeling better even after I mitt taking it” JOHN H. SHERMAN, Belding, Mich.
