1 Sa 7{ Y I 7,

BY GEO. V. HOBART, (“HUGH M'HUGH.")

Dear Bunch: I'm headed for home, but the hurdles are hq)ﬂ‘lng’me back.

I met a whole flock ¢f “the boys” in Rochester yesterday ' morning, and since most of ’em were making a flying leap for New York, you can believe me it was a swift squad of sports ‘hat climbed into one of Mr. Pullman’s sleep-wagons and permitted themselves to be yanked over the rails. - A bunch of brisk ones—believe me! There was Charlie Hammond, leading man with the “Kitty, the Kash 3irl” Company; David Torrence, first heavy with the melodrama entitled “The Haunted Automobile; or, Who Stole the Muffler?” Frank Westerton, first low sad with the “Crazy-Quilt Burlesquers;” Emmett Corrigan, who is lecturing through the provinces on “How to Play Bridge Without Impairing the Tonsils;” Malcolm William, the handsomest leading man in the show-business — when completely shaved; William Burress, the BathRobe King; Chariie Abbott, who sells that fine Monticello honey-dew, and arthur Shaw. ; : ’ Shaw travels for a clothing house in Cincinnati, and they call him Slim because he’s getting so fat that every time he turns around he meets himself coming back. - ‘ He’s all to the good—that boy is! And such a cut-up! - Slim knows more “look-out!— there’s-a-lady-over-there!” stories than any other drummer in the business. Then there was Nick Dalrymple and Tod Gilpin—two live ones with a full set of sparks flying. Nick goes after the orders for a hardware house in Columbus, and he knows everybody ip the world—bar one family living in Yonkers. Nick has only one trouble, he will paddle after the ponies. v

Whenever he makes a town where there’s a poolroom his expense-account gets fat and beefy, and Nick begins to worry for fear he may win something. He won $l2 in Cleveland once, and he spent $2lB at a boozeologist’s that night getting statistics on how it happened.

Tod Gilpin cuts ice for a match-fac-tory in Newark, and he's the life of a small party. ;

Tod’s main hold is fo creep into the “reading-room” of a Rube hotel after the chores are done of an evening and throw salve at the come-ons. Tod tells them that their town is the brightest spot ‘'on the map, and they warm up to him and want to buy him sarsaparilla and root beer. Then when he gets them stuck on themselves he sells them matches.

“Pipe the gang to quarters and all rubber!” said Slim, about half an hour after the train pulled out. In the seat ahead of us a somewhat demure-looking Proposition in rainbow rags had been sampling the scenery ever since we started. We had all given her the glad glance, but she was very much Cold Storage, so we passed it up. . As Slim spoke, the Proposition was joined by a young chap with a loose face, who had been out in the smok-ing-room working faithfully on one of those pajama panatella cigars — that bite you on the finger if you show the Jeast sign of fear. Just then the train stopped for a few minutes, and we were put wise

Boozey is back to his Birdie!” said the brand-new wife. ‘“Did Boozey like his smoky woky?” Boozey.opened a bunch of grins and sat down, while wifey patted his cheek afd cooed: “Is ums glad@ to get back to ums *ittle wifey-pifey?” Dave Torrence and Charlie Hammond began to scream inwardly, with Slim chuckling like a pet porpoise. “Sweetie mustn’'t be angry with Petie, but Sweetie is sitting on Petie’s *jttle hand!” said the bride, whereupon Malcolm Williams exploded, and Slim began to grab for his breath. -A Dutch brewer and his wife sat right ahead of Boozey and Birdie, and every once in awhile the old hoppuncher would turn around and beam benignly over the gold rims at the bride. : * “Boozey must snuggy-wuggy up closer to his Coozie and skeeze her ’itty afin—no, no, not her waist! you naughty! naughty!” The brewer was back at the bride with another gold-rimmed goo-goo, when his wife got nervous and cut in: “Is id you turn your face to see someding—yes?” she snapped, and the foam-builder ' ducked to the window and began to eat scenery. : ‘Westerton was almost out; Burress

was under the seat sparring for wind; Slim was giving an imitation of a coalbarge in a heavy sea, and the rest of the passengers were in various stages from hiccoughs to convulsions. “Is Boozey comfy wif his ’'itty weeny teeny Birdie?” chirped the bride. “Boozey is so happy wif his izzywizzy!” gurgled the husband; “how’s my ‘ittle girley wirly?” !02! she’s such a happy-wappy ’ittle fing!” giggled the dotty dame, pinching her piggle’s ear, whereupon the brewer tried hu the bride another

The man who helped to make Weehawken famous had his head out the window watching for an ice-wagon, and Mrs. Brew was industriously

Du bist ein Narr!” ; Just then the train pulled out and saved our lives. ; ; Dave, Frank, Bill, Slim, Charlie, Malcolm, and I rushed feverishly up to the other end of the car to cool off, and there we landed on the outskirts of a bunch of drummers, who were fanning ‘each other with fairy-tales about the goods they sold.

“I'll back three of the lads in that collection to dream longer than any other drummers on the track. -

It’s a pipe that they can sell bills to each other all day and never wake up.

A guy named Mutt Dawson was holding forth. He's a most reckless spelidthrift with his words, and the meanest man to the English language I ever listened to. .

Mutt was telling them about hypnotizing . a John Wanamaker merchant prince in Pikesville, Ind., to the extent of $2OO for open-work socks, farmer’s size, and then a chap named Jack Dean sent his balloon up by telling us how he sold the Siegel-Coopers, of Bugsport, la., $3OO worth of Panama hats for horses. The Hot Air association was in full session when Buck Jones caromed over from the other end of the car and weighed-in with us. '

Buck is a sweﬁer. He thinks he_dtrikes 12 on all occasions, but his clock is all to the pazaz.

Buck isn't a drummer—nay! nay! take back your gold! . : He’ll look you straight in the eye and tell you he’s a traveling salesman ——nix on the drummer! I think Buck sells canned shirtwaists for the Shine Brothers. :

And now, Bunch, here is where I affix one of Uncle Sam’'s promises-to-jcarry to this document and drop it in ‘the little green box. ' The Same Ever, J: H. (Copyright, 1908, by G. W. Dillingham Co.) IRRITABLE MAN HAS A “KICK.” Misuse of Apostrophe and Quotation Marks, Not to Mention “Kindly.” “There are two things that are misused a great deal,” said the irritable man, “and the mishandling of them annoys me a lot. For one thing, some persons haven't the vaguest idea of the proper use of the apostrophe. I've seen’ a word written this way, ‘auto’s,” which is meant only to indicate the plural of auto. Now, there isn’t the very slightest excuse for that and it makes me sore every time I see it. Then again, other folks don’t know what to do with quotation marks. I have seen a sign on an elevated station reading, ‘“Keys” with the “agent.”” Now, what earthly use are those quotation marks about the words keys and agent? None, none at all. There isn’'t any rhyme or reason in It.” :

“Well,” replied his listener, “there’s another as bad as that. There’s the use of the word ‘kindly.’ You hear a lot of folks using that atrocious vaudeville phrase: ‘Thank you, kindly.' That makes me sick. I saw the other day In Brooklyn a sign, ‘Gents will kindly not smoke.” Only gents would use that sort of language.” Curious Marriage Custom. An English traveler in northern Ni geria describes an interesting cus tom connected with marriage which he eame across dmong the Fulani, a tribe of wandering herdsmen whe show no trace of negro blood and are supposed to be of Asiatic origin One might almost suppose that they had advanced ideas about the relationg of the sexes. Before a man is allowed to marry he has to stand 3 sound thrashing without wincing. In some parts of Europe this test of fitness for the wedded state might more reason: ably be applied to the woman. Ons is reminded of Thomas Edgeworth’s friend, who in selecting a bride dropped hot sealing wax on the girl’s arm and fired a nlctf:l off near her argument in court fails to be convine M.

TILE YOUR LAND AND - ~INCREASE YOUR CROPS

Because of the fundamental character of the process of drainage, its effecis are nurherous and far reaching. Ten of the most important ones may be given as follows: : 1. Drainage removes the excess of water from the surface and from the pores in-the soil, thereby rendering it more firm. SRk Poorly drained soil has the two-fold disadvantage of lack of stability and firmness and great . susceptibility to physical . .modifications injurious to most farm crops. Such injury may be caused by any tillage operations, by tramping and by the natural drying of the soil. : 2. Drainage is directly ‘operative to change an unfavorable physical con- : dition into a de\__i\ sirable one, as et ~-= ‘well as to reduce Correct Form of the tendency to a Union of Two bad physical conLines of Tile. dition of the soil. It may bring about the change from a puddled to a granular soil. Such physical changes are most pronounced in fine textured soil. The change is produced primarily by the alternate wetting and dryiag to which - well-drained soil is subject. Poorly drained soil is usually in a bad physical condition. It is compact and impervious. It is well known that the tilth of a soil rapidly improves as a result of drainage. 3. Contrary to a frequent belief, drainage increases the amount of moisture available to crops. This is the result of two factors. First, when the spil is granulated to the condition of good tilth, the total capillary capacity is increased. The soil is then able to both readily absorb the rainfall and to retain a larger proportion \r : of it than would . otherwise be pos- (..~ , sible, against the “_f,‘\:"éf/.:/'_'" > time of dry weath-s.“ai;'/.::;";:‘,'y_,f{g:-er.

to those who have had experience in tile draining. o 4. Drainage promotes the aeration of the soil, that is, the exchange ‘between the soil air and the external air. A supply of oxygen is necessary to the proper growth of the living organisms in the soil.. Such a supply is largely, if not entirely, excluded from a saturated soil. The removal : of the water makes - e Dlace for air and § A esssme=the - granulation or 3 s‘l§ loosening-up proR cess ’;whieh occurs A me’od of facilitates the joining lateral to movement of the the main line of air into and out of tile. the soil. The sup- ; : ply of air increases the food available by its direct action on the minerals in the soil and by promoting the growth of desirable bacteria. It also hinders or prevents the growth of many undesirable bacteria. \ * b. Dralnage permits the soil to maintain a higher average temperature than is possible on wet soil Parkes found in the peat bogs in Lancashire, England, that at a depth of seven inches the @ L

drained soil was 7%// /’/"7 15° warmer than //5/// // the undrained soil // 7 and at a depth of /.?% _ 31 inches the 277 drained soil was i ” s still 1.7° warmer. 74 .

It lengthens the growing season by permitting the land to be cultivated and seeded earlier in the spring and by keeping up the temperature in the fall. In the southern part of the state on the high hills where it is difficult to mature corn even in the favorable seasons it may be readily seen how important to the farmer this extension of the

SAVE YOUR OWN SEEDS. It Pays the Farmer and the Trucker : to Do This. There is nothing the farmer lor trucker should be more careful about than to have the very best seed and the variety best adapted to his soil. The common custom is to get catalogues from a lot of seedsmen, select the one who sells the cheapest and buy seeds of him, frequently getting seeds that are not true to name and of poor vitality. I have bought radish seed of some of the best seedsmen, and when ready to market my crop had at least six different kinds. My idea is that farmers and truckers should as far as possible select and save their own seed. Get the best stock to begin with of the different varieties you wish to grow, and select seeds from the kinds that do best, taking only the most perfect and earliest, quantity and quality obe considered, or any other point desired. e An easy way of selecting sweet corn tor ceed is to go through the field Gasie i en e S S L L

Drainage greatly reduces the injury to winter crops resulting from “heaving” or the freezing of large amounts of water in the soil. This process ‘raises the upper layers of soil, carrying all shallow rooted plants with it, and if some of their roots happen to be fastened in the subsoil, these may be broken off. Such effects are most noticeable on tap-rooted plants, such as the clovers, but it is almost as injurious to the grass and grain crops. - 9. Drainage reduces or prevents erosion. Erosion is the washing of the soil as the drainage water flows down the slope. A saturated soil is in the right condition for erosion to be most serious. On the other hand, thorough drainage permits part of this excess to be drawn off beneath the surface in channels . proAy vided for it and TN \\\\\\“ which are not subSl QNN jeet to such inSA RS \‘\ \\\ . e e kaentead Jury. -Further, on =SS\ clay soil where the injury is liable to A “drowned” be the result of outlet due to level the water flowing of water being away because It higher than mouth cannot readily of the tile drain. penetrate the surAn undes.irable face soil, this efcondition. fect is . reduced : by. the changes in the physical condition of the soil resulting .from drainage—as mentioned above—so that much more of the rainfall is absorbed and thereby retained for the use of plants. 10. Drainage increases the yield of crops. This is, of course, the obvious purpose of drainage as applied to agriculture. It is one of the two fundamental purposes of drainage, the other being increased healthfulness. The increase varies with the original condition of the land. On acknowledged swamp land, such as is included in the first group of drainage conditions, the difference is that between no crop _\ 2 3 io 3 IC 7 . i _,ll_ || & /» l ' U N 8 * B 1 i Fopu ) Mol v J | : : Hand Implements Used in Construct- - ing Tile Drains. 1.

For it must be kept in mind in connection with wet land that its productiveness after drainage is, as a rule, directly proportional to its wetness before drainage. ¢

I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night’s sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura Remedies and he felt relieved the first time I used them.

SEEMED A TRIFLE PERSONAL.

Clergyman’s Particular' Reason for Omitting the Fifth Verse. A clergyman in an interior town married a woman from whom he received a dowry of $lO,OOO and a prospect of more. Shortly afterwards, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first verse and proceeded to read the fifth, commencing: ¢ ! “Forever let my . grateful heart,”, then he hesitated and exclaimed: “The choir will omit the fifth verse.” Some of the congregation read the verse for themselves and smiled as they read: - Forever let my grateful heart His bouvndless grace adore, Which gives ten thousand blessings now And bids me hope for more. Real Self-Possession. Not long ago a young couple entered a railway carriage at Sheffield and were immediately put down as a bridal pair. But they were remarkably selfpossessed and behaved with such sang-froid that the other passengers began to doubt if their first surmise was correct after all. As the train moved out, however, the young man rose to remove bkis overcoat, and a shower of rice fell out, while the passengers smiled broadly.

But even that did not - affect the youth, who also smiled, and, turning to his partner, remarked audibly:

EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. “A year ago, after recovering from an operation,” writes a Mich. lady, “my stomach and nerves began to give me mukh trouble. :

“At times my appetite was voracious, but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food 'I took did not nourish me, and I grew weaker than ever. T

“I lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves,. but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. ‘“I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read, at the time. At last when it seemed as if I were literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts. : “lI had not been able to work for a year, but now after two months on Grape-Nuts I"am eager to be at work again. My stomach gives me no trouble now, my nerves are steady as ever, and interest in life and ambition have came back with the return to health.” 3 : 2 “There’s a Reason.” .
