"C.irrett was standing; in the hnrT'x.tn of one of the Broadara hotels much patronized by prafters and -ore-thing "" " on a forenoon in , '.'".. waiting for a pood one to ome his way. Iiis pal, Kd Follows, M as w ith him. ' Presently there walked into the barroom from the hotel lobby, a tall, lanky man who looked uncomfortable in his store clothes. By the looks of hitn he was obviously from Tainted Peat, or Three Forka. or Ipswich, or some place like that, and it was the ea Bleat thinp in life to put him down as one of Vm on his honeymoon tour. He looked like a new husband from the woods who had excused himself from the new wife for a minute and had joat sneaked down to the bar to tl.row one in for the purpose of revivinp his flapping spirits. He wore a 'd new black sack suit, new black ;' ra hat of the up-country block, tuw and aquenky shoes nnd a white string tie. He walked like he was tapping' orer furrows. "Harrett and his pal exchanged rrins when they saw him walk up to 'he bar. hut, of course, they had no idea that he waa pood enonph for hem. Simply out of habit they "watched him when he paid for his drink, just to aee what he had. When they observed him pull out of his right trousers' pocket a wsd of the yellow kind that would'ee clogged a fonr-inch waste pipe they exchanged glances of a different aort. "tiet next, Kd. said Barrett, giving pal s dig. 'Dye think there'a a 'will of ysrn or n turnip inside of that Auinch? " 'Not in s million,' replied F;iows. 1 V the goods. Go after it.' "The tall, lanky man in the store clothes peeled off a fifty and hurled it on the bar. remarking that that was his smallest, and then he leaned on one prop and gazed dreamily at Ua reflection in the bac mirror while the barkeeper ws making change.

Of course. vs got MM H lg 11 to haul down a few hundred, but my instruments and plant have cost me more than a thousand and it's a case of the bip donph or nothing with me. "The Iowa man retleeted. If he could only see beforehand how it worked he might "'That's just exactly what I want yoa to do. said Barrett, convincingly. "Conic ripdit around now and we'll le able to pet action tnis very afternoon. My friend and I will prove to you how it works. "Well, of course, there's no use in going over hose Barrett and his pal tooh the good thin? around to the little hack room in Sixth nvenue. showed him the fclcpraphinir layout and tho rire leading out of the window, explained how they could pet the results off the wire nnd hold them until one of t h in went to a neighboring poolroom and got tha money down, and all the rest. The thhsg made a hit with the Iowa man all riirhf. and l'.arrctt and his pal had the satisfaction of seeing his p. V gray eyes plow some more with desire. " 'Well. I'll po in pardncrs w ith yon. said the Iowa mriti. and LSBSpUgfater Harrett kicked Fellows under tha table in sheer liphtness of spirit for it had been eosne time sin-- they'll nailed one who looked so promising. "Now. about how much would you care to imct?' inquired Harrett. 'As I told yon. it's a east of putting down the riirht kind of money. fr of course there's a certain risk and we want to soak Vm for a pood roll before Wa ekaa up this jdant and open up snmev here else. tiot tk couple thousand to pat in, say?' "Well, the store clothes man bad somethirp like $.1,500 with him. he remarked, pulling; out the roll and riffling over the new fiftiea and hundreds, but he wouldn't like to put in so much as $?.i00 without he had a ehan-e to see beyond a doubt how the thing was poinp to work. "'Well.' said Barrett, 'there's nothinc nie.in about me, and I'll sure give you a chance to sec what a cinch we've got. We'll each you and I. for my friend is not in funds just now put in a hundred on the first race, and if we don't pet the money I'll just hand you another hundred nnd send you on your way. How's that? "That suited the store clothes man all right. It suited him so well that he pulled off a hundred from his roll on the spot and handed it over to Barrett, who added hia hundred in nn off-hand way he nlwnya held out a roll for workinp purposes. "Then Barrett explained that the first race at Sheepsheail flay was due in altout an hour, and that he would attend to the tappinp in the room, while hia friend and the Iowa man waited down in front for the signal as to which horse had won. As soon aa his friend got the aignal he waa to make off for the poolroom with the $200. nnd the Iowa mnn was to come back to the room to wait for his money with Barrett. "Everything wns apreeahle to the general storekeeper, and thus it w ns arranged. Harrett produced a bottle snd they had a few drinks nnd talked until the time for the first Sbecpshead race drew on, and then Fellows and the come-on walked downstnirs to wait for Barrett's sipnal ns to the winner. "After they had waited for nlxmt 20 minutes Harrett gave a 'Past!' fnm the landing, and Fellows ran up tha stairs to him snd inclined hia bead ta

BnfTStf tallied such a stn-arn that ths eosntMsa Mai nn chance to gat in a vvoid They shook hands and had a drink, nnd aboat ten minutes later Fellows came l.oundinp in with a triumphant expression on his face. " "It is liki : g money from your l.ank presides! pa!' he exclaimed, thniwing two five-hundr d and two om hundred bills in a roll on th table. 'Is It? And urboM ha thought thnt that hum filly Tenderness would have lieat Sebastian, and Sebastian at four to live? I wouldn't have played Tendcrnesa in a hundred years. 'Ib.s is the only aa ta bout em. I L'-'t five to one for the $ .' I and you two cop out $500 each the first rattle out of the Ihix.' "The Iowa man's countenance wore a broad grin as Barrett handed him one of the five-hundred and one of the ono-hurdred-dollar bills, remarking : - 'Well, what d'ye think of us? I)'ye think we're goal enonph? m 'Well, yes.' drawled the phony eoiintryma n. as lie stuffed the $'o in his real pocket. 'Yoo'ra the yappitas p:ti r of tin horns that ever worked in u paper lo factory.' "The imitation countryman, as he spoke, suddenly leaped back alsiut five bet, so that his shoulders touched the door, and the amaed and dfsgaatn Barrett nnd Fellows, with pa ping mouths, observed that they were under a gaa alwiut a foot lonp. which their traiis-formed comeon was pently xvavinp in his ripht ha rid. " 'You're the Bulliest pair of bumselling platers that ever kicked the mud in each other's muzzles on a half-mile track. I'd like to meet a couple like you throe times a day. I was laying for you. and I pot you. If you' ad!r ss p IJarrctt. whom he fixed with his pale gray eyes 'will take i loon at that hundred I handed you, you'll observe that it's aa common a piece of Ikil'i.. ra' as was ever turned out of a fiber works. It's a kind 0 queer that I wouldn't try to pass on a blind melodoon player on a dark street. I could make letter with a earpeaar! aeacil and a piece, o blotting paper? "Barrett had readied into his picket and pulled out the bill that the man who had him under the pun had piven him, and vvas staring at it gloomily, 'I'm -ix hundred to the right. continued the toll, lanky man. "and that'll pet me a shave ami a shine. The next time you think you've nailed a mark, take the trouble to pije off the color of his Aaaghf and you won't get switched to a siding. That'll be all.' "The tall, lanky man. who happened to lc Jerry llathbone, who'd made his mark on two continents aa tpioer-shover. backed out of the door after removing the key. looked the door when he pot outside, and Barrett and PeBowi sat and attrrd at each other while they I to his retreatinp footfalls die away on the stairs. It took them half an hour to kick the door down. " 'It broke the old man' heart,' sai-1 Fellows, who told me the story while I was taking him on a little journey a year later. 'It est him deep for a fact. If wasn't the copping out of hia six hundred that soared him to the hone, bat it was the way it was done, lie got mi' he'd talk to himself about it vvhi'.e he wa awake and in led he'd mumble in his sleep about it.

The American War. After the duel had lieen fought the principala repaired to a cafe and ordered lunch. Not exactly gourmands, but henr y eaters were they, which caused an American, who had pone to the exposition and had not yet earn et 1 suflicient capital for the return Toyage, to remark that it takes more to satisfy a Frenchman's appetite than it does his honor. No sooner had the words left hia lip than Count de Hooleanc struck him In the face with his open palm. Bat lo! Instead of challenging tha count and wiping out the insult ia mortal combat, the American simple smnshod him between the eyes, caught hint with a right-hand hook as ha was poing down ami then stepped on his face with his bulldog shoes, all the while asking the count if his honor was satisfied.

This is a true story, and it was told to the reporter by a prominent worker in one of the Kast side settlements. The other day a woman living in Kivington street brought her little boy to t he settlement house and expressed a desire to have him enter the kindergarten. The child had a bright fa, e but it was woefully dirty, nnd one of the settlement rules is that all pupils must present at least a clean anterior. So the teacher looked at the littlo loy and said: "Why. certainly ha can come to the kinderparten, bui we want all the children to be clean, (iive him a pood lath to-night and end him to us in the morning " "Bath!" gasped the mother.

If nitrate of soda, muriate of potash and miw, ;bophatr are appliod in some w ha' h uv v iaatS in the hill or crill. and the seed is dropped directly upon ihr fertiliser before it hs been mixed with the soil, thi re is very great danger that the germ of the seed will be destroyed. We have many tinie killed the perms of seeds in this way. But if the fertilizer is applied with the drill, and mixed with the soil, there is no dancer whatever that the ordinary application of fertilizer will in anyway injure the seed or plant. Should fertilizer be applied in extra large doses, say ."00 to 1 .000 pounds per acre, and should the season fellow hag h very dry. it is entirely probable that the plants might be injured by the heavy application of fertilizer. The reason for this is that the plant food is too concentrated, and there is not enough moisture present to sufficient -ly dilute it. Nitrogen is especially caustic in its action. aad forthe source of nitrogen, if it i to be drilled in at the time of drilling in the seed, we recommend that dried blood or ammonium sulphate be used ss a source of altragaa instead of nitrate of soda. Where nitrate of soda is used, it is always best to apply it as a tn-dressing where plants an- growing upon the land, so that they can make use of it at once. One man in Michigan was told to apply nitrate of sinla to the grcwing plants, and he fertilized his cucumber vines by dropping a handful of nitrate of soda on each hill. As a result, the encumber vinos recoiling the nitrate of soda were completely destroyed. He should have applied it to the soil and mixed it with the soil near the hill Countrv Gentleman. DURABLE FARM GATE. It ! St Onlr Very simple and laei pensile. Hat aa lie I rd Also to Separate Stock. The best farm pate I ever saw made was like the illustration and is a gata that can be used to separate stck. It is made so it can be raised at one end to let hogs or sheep under while cattle and horses cannot get through. And in c of snow it can be ra:ed and opened, (iet the nunder of slats you wish and make the gate. Then take for the four end pieces 1x4 llting them on to the slats with EXCELLENT PMtH '.ATE one bolt in each end of slats so the pate can work up snd down. Haw take for the brace two pieces 1x1 or 1st bolt them at the top on the outside of the two end pieces using a lolt lonp enough to go through five slats. Now on the other end take a three-eijrh? h inch rod and bend it like A. This leap should he about eight inches long. Bore s hob- in each of the two ends snd drive this into them. Now nn the bottom slat close op to the upright piece. ( at some notches for this rod to catch in when yon raise the gate. This is very simple and inexpensive and should hr on every farm.

Then she went to Harmony Grove, (la., ami took treaJmont from the liest physician there for three months. She kept going down under his treatment, although he was considered tha best physician in the county. She wont down from Ut pounds to 61, and we saw she could not live long. She w.i ;i skeleton. We consulted an o'.l physician who told her to use Peruna. She gradually improved and go stronger. She has gained 38 pounds since she has taken I'eruna, and ia galatag every dav, and does her own ' houserwurk. "She was well known when she was so low, and now everybody wants to know what cured her.

WHAT WE HEAR FROM ASSINIB0IA, WESTERN CANADA. "Don't Think of laming, Hut ( ome," I To the Kdit'-r: The above is the emphatic manner in which a friend in Yorkton writes to a friend near St. Paul, Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly I -ht, too. when the advantages that Western Canada offer to thosa seekinp homes. The Assiniboia district is one of the best. The writer from whose letter we quote goes on to say: "John, if you miss this chance you are foolish, for you can pet out cheaper when there are so many coming, and I would not tell you to come if I thought you could not do well, and if you don't come in the spring you will have to go away hack, for you do not want to think that there Is no one living out here but us. I saw nicer buildings out here than I ever saw before, and if the country was no good what would they want them for? John, if you sold everything you have and come out here you would be worth more than ever you were before, and if you can bring your team, you can get, snything you want on tick, and when they do that with strangers they ara not afraid they can't make enough to pay for it. I saw as nice wheat as I ever saw in my life and if they could not grow pram what would the flour mill be for. and it mst t?l.0C0." Now this was what Mr. Thoman Fi'zpafrick, of Yorkton, Assiniboin, Western Canada, wrote to a friend. There will be opened up this summer new districts in Saskatchewan and Assiniboia, at low prices, particulars of which can be had of any agent of the f'overnment of the Oomlnfon ' Canada, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper. Yours truly, AN OLD lit.ADER.
