Center For Clover Seed.

George W. Kinnison writing in the Goshen News Times says: : ¢ “Few there are living who remember when Ligonier shipped more clov+ er seed to Toledo than any other station on the Lake Shore raiload. : “The three original Straus brothers of Ligonier handled more clover seed than any other local degler in the state. Farmers hauled their seed from all adjoining counties as well as southern Michigan to Ligonier, where better prices were obtained. Besides clover seed was one of thg farmer’s best seed crops sixty years ago and invariably clover was a sure crop on the farm. | “If conditions continue to prevail as to the growing of clover from effects of freezing weather insect poor seed and seed failures to threshing time, other species of clover for pasture and hay will be substituted. One does not see today in riding over thq country one acre to where there were five in former years, when old Ligonier was the clover seed center of northern Indiana and southern Michigan.” ‘ : B Mr. Kinnison might have added ‘that the Wertheimer Brothers are the leading seed dealers of the country with headquarters in Ligonier.

HOME PAPER BROUGHT JOY

Lonesome Amfi&n _Girl, Marooned by the War, Found Cheer In Sheet | From “Her Own Town.”

Although detained in Europe much longer than she had expected to be there, the American girl said she had not got loncsome. : “But I should bave been homesick, terribly, because it is my disposition; to get homesick, if it had not been for the things I found in hotel and boarding house cupboards. No, it wasn't in :&ma; nobody left anything of that d behind. What I found was couns try newspapers which had been spread on cupboard shelves by American girls who had tenanted those rooms before me. ; “They came from towns in all seci tions of the United States, those pad pers. One that I found made me cryi It came from our home town in Vh\‘ ginia. It was the first Express I had seen since leaving home three months before. The sight of that paper was more magical in its effects than enchanted carpets and brass bottles. With incredible swiftness I was transported from the little Austrian fromtier town and set down in the main street of a Virginia village. There was an ice cream supper on at the Masonic lodge. I went in. Just across the street the Plum family were holdy ing their annual reunion. I attended that, too. Then I heard a concert .by! the local band and spent all my spare) cash at a bargain sale at Floyd's store. “In the space of about two seconds) I was back in Austria with that blue penciled paper in my hand. . Thfl' more I read the more I wondered how! it got there. The people in our town, are not travelers. Some of them go to! Richmond once & year, maybe one or, two get to Washington, but no farth-| er. Nobody from home had registered at the hotel, yet some previous guest had friends in our town and was sufficlently interested in its doings to recelve marked copies of its principal paper.” f

“WOUNDS MAKE BOYS GROW”

Gustave Chatain, fifteen years old,! a gamin and a soldier, who was; brought to the hospital at Paris after he had been playing at war like a' man, has started again for the front.: He wished to continue his game of, war, having an ambition to capturei 4 flag. - : The good sisters who had been, nursing his wounds were unable to: restrain him, especially since an army lieutenant had given him a uniform, with the congratulations of the officers of the regiment. i - His father took him to the recruiting office..

A Some one suggested teasingly thati he would be rejected because he was; so small. ‘ . “A wound is like soup, it makes you! grow,” retorted the boy. “Anyway, if they refuse me I will find a way toi wriggle to the front ranks.” .

Awful Cost of Napoleon’s Wars.

One hundred years ago, in the brief interval of peace between the downfall of the Napoleonic empire and the beginning of the campaign ending at Wa~ terloo, the countries of Hurope were striving to repair as best they could the ravages of the long wars in which the ambitions of the ‘“Little Corporal” had involved all of them. From the commencement to the close ef Napoleon’s career, the levies of soldiers in France alone exceeded 4,000,000, and not less than 8,000,000 of these perished in the field, the hospital or the bivouac. If to these is added at least an equal number out of the ranks of the allies, it is seen that not less than 6,000,000 soldiers perished in the twenty years’ warfare. And to thege must be added the thousands of soldiers who perished from want and exposure and the hundreds of thousands who were subsequently swept away by the ravages of that pestilence which took fts rise amid the retreat from Russia, and the crowded garrisons of the campaign of 1881, and for several years afterward desolated in succession every country in Europe. -

Kalser’'s Stud Farm.

Poultney Bigelow, author of “The Borderland of. Tsar and Kaiser,” once bald a vistt to the famous royal stud farm from which the Russians now claim to have carrijed off all the horses. The farm is situated, he We most favored province of Germ for horse breeding purposes, although, geographically considered, it appears to be the most unpropltious. Nearly every farm in East Prussia is devoted to this one occupation, and the German army gets many more horses from this little corner than any. other province or kingdom of the empire. The war authorities are, in respect to this branch of the government, very liberal; it affects the army directly as well as it does the country indirectly.” e

It is said that no poet has gained renown in France in the last generation ‘without a gracious word from him, fttered at a time when the poet was still striving for recognition.
