AT POMPEII. At Fompeil I heard a woman laugh. And turned to find the reason of her mirth, Saw but the silent figure of a girl That centuries had mummied into earth. The running figure of a little maid With face half hidden in ter shielding arm. Silent, yet screaming, yea, in ev'ry limb. The cruel torture of her dread ii'.arm. At rompeii I heard a maiden shriek All down the years from out the distant past; Clind in the awful darkness siill she runs, Death In the mold of fear her form has cast. A little maid once soft and sweet and white, Full of the morning's hope, and love, and joy, That Nature moving to the voice of Time, Shook her dark wings to wither and destroy. At rompeii I saw a woman bend Above this dead, pronounce an epitaph; . The mother of a child. It may have been, O horrible! I heard a woman laugh.

Bookman. MILT, you must not go out again this afternoon. You will wear yourself out, child, always running here and there. Sit down quietly oa the porch and cool off or you will worry me to death. There was an anxious look habitual to Mrs. Wade's motherly face that made strangers think sb? must be cumbered with many cares. "I should think, Emily," observed Aunt Louise, "that you would have some rvgard for your appearance." Aunt Louise had always been called the beauty of the family and she enjoyed that honor evjn alter "ier nieces In their young girlhood aspired for the position. Just Imagine yourself In low neck and short sleeves, for example. Every time I see your blouse sleeves tucked up It makes me shudder. You will never be jrraceful as lov as you race from one thing to another. In my day it was thought very unladylike for a girl to be sj energotic" "Well. Auntie, the world do move," .id Emily, a bit nettled. If you enjoy being graceful and looking pretty I am glad you have the opportunity. As for putting on more flesh, I don't want to get 'heavy on my feet as old Mrs. Trent says. I love to be doing some- j thing all the time and that has nothlnpl to 6V with my being thin. Now, doD' :iy I must stay on the porch, mott please. I promised Mrs. Lowe I'd with the children and It's time for nvi to start! It won't hurt me in the lea.,t for all I have to do is to teach them to march on and off the stage. They need so much drilling, and Mrs. Lowe was tind enough to say no one can manage "liC-m as well as your accomplished laughter. I wonder why the things I lore to do are all unhealthfuL" I .suppose you will have your way," said Mrs. Wade with a sigh. MYou always argue and coax and talk till I give la In the end. Of course you can manage the youngsters because they always Ask you to help with everything. If you ever get 'heavy on your feet' It won't be your fault If you will promise to lie down a whole hour this evening and eat that new food the doctor ordered, you may go. I should think you wou'd be glad to rest In vacation without taing a lot of unnecessary work on your shoulders. "I suppose I'll have to submit," said Emily, catching up her hat Did I te!l you what Paul Norris said about that near food? lie happened In one dnr when I was worrying dovn some of It and told me I might just as well eat the door mat I think so myself, but am powerless to help myself." I am worried to death about Emliy," said Mrs. Wade the instant the door closed after the girl. "You have no Idea, Louise, bow she tosses and mutters In her sleep. She is so thin that if some disease should get a hold on her system she never could survive. There Mrs. Rose with six children, aU healthy and strong, while my one is as thin and nervous as can be. I think I will have Dr. Benson change that food, for since she has taken a dislike to it It seems to do her no good. I wish I knew " "There goes Dr. Benson now," broke In Aunt Louise, and her sister called him in without delay. "Send her to the country a month or two," advised the old doctor, breaking In on Mrs. Wade's long list of her diughter's symptoms. "No matter if school does begin next month. Put off her graduation a year if necessary and lot her do nothing but rest Pack her eff with some sensible clothes and plenty of good books for several months and yon will see a decided Improvement. Do you know of any good quiet place where she would be well taken care of?"' "No, I do not" aid Mrs. Wade promptly. "I have an aunt In Ohio on a large farm, but Emily would die of Loraesickncss there. There ! nothlv; go.ng on, an'j If they go to town ona week and to church in the country it is as much as they ever undertake. I h.iven't been there for years, but " "That Is the very place for Emily. Tell her if she does not stay three months she cannot graduate next spring, and that will do the work. Send her with some books or a little sewing to occupy her time on rainy days, and insist that she shall rest and loaf in the o;en air as much as possible. Tell her as soon as she weighs a reasonable 3:nount, something like one hundred and twenty, she cat come home to school. I don't believe the girl weighs over ninety pounds this minute." "I was just telling her she would be a perfect fright when It Is time for her to go In society," said Aunt Louise. "Her mother is entirely too easily perruaded and lets Emily do as she pleases. I hore the child will have a good rest somewhere ' and fill out some of her hollows." So, In spite of all protests, Emily went to the farm in Ohio. In her mind Ohio represented a bowling wilderness, and it was only the fear of being kept out of school that resigned her even in slight measure to her fate. The Jourbey from her home in a prosperous New York city to the wilds of the far West was made possible, because a business friend of her father's took charge of Lor tc the capital o the State, and there put her on the train to her greatftunts native place. What do you hear from Emily?" asked Dr. Bensun a week after the young lady had been banished to the wilderness. "Is she homesick?" "Very; and it breaks my heart to think of her In that . out-of-the-way plaor. She writes that she thinks she has gained two pounds, and that aunt has not been to town for three months. Jhit U exactly the way she jumbled

the two statements together, and there were marks on the pages that looked suspiciously like tear stains." "Now see here," said .the old man fcternly, "you must leave the girl where she Is. No tear stains shall bring her home till she gets better. If you want a case of nervous prostration on your hands send for her to come home, but ifyou want h-r to be strong and well let her alone. A little homesickness will do no harm." Mrs. Wade quailed before the look of her family physician and hastily went bo-ne to burn up the letter saying she would go for her daughter if she really could not stand country life. Mr. Wade, Ids mother and Aunt Louise took sides with the doctor, so Emily was allowed to do, the best she might be able to do In the tender care of Aunt Rebecca. At the en of two weeks Mrs. Wade was able to rejoice over the more hopeful Tone of the letters from Ohio, and only once in a while did she detect the traces of tears. "Dr. Benson, may I send for Emily?" pleaded Mrs. Wade early in October. "The poor child writes that she has gained ten pounds, and surely that L-ows she is Improving. I will see that s!ie takes her medicines regularly and any diet you prescribe If I may only

o after her. I never could bear the k nelincss of the country myself, and I 'WHAT DO TOU II CAB FROM EMILyT' kuow she must be desperate by this t':me." But the hard-hearted doctor would listen to no such thing, and the day of Emily's probation lengthened out indefinitely. ' "I don't care In the least what Dr. Bonson says," declared Mrs. Wade one morning early la December. "I am gothis very day to bring Emily home. That poor child shall not suffer another week. I know she doesn't wall in her letters as she did at first, but she is too brave to complain. She shall not miss il the fun of the holidays for the whim of an old-fogy doctor." And the very next day she entered Aunt Rebecca's pleasant kitchen without knocking. "Well, I declare! Is It really you, Sara- Catherine? Emily? Why, I don't know where the girl is this minute, but' she'll be hen soon. Take off your wraps and sit close to the stove. The air is keen this morning. You make yourself at home and I'll ring the bell. That'll bring her In a few minutes." Aunt Rebecca bustled about, and her nltce was forced to curb her Impatience much as possible till her daughter rppeared. The big warm kitchen was exactly as she remembered It years before, and from the same iron dinner pot ismed smells that carried her back to her childhood. "Did you ask how Emily Is? She's all right, I guess. I don't hear any complalnt, and she's able for her three meals a day. I hope you haven't come ta take her home, for the children would be so disappointed. She's drilling them for some sort of a piece for Christmas a cantata, I believe she calls. It and the 'school mistress .depends on her so much ' for help with ;leir exercises. You ought to be proud of Emily, Sarah Catherine, for everyone says our Thanksgiving entertainment was the best we ever had. That ?'rl got the children to help, and they decorated the Grange Hall just beautiful. The leaves and vines and berries are fresh yet and we'll take you over to see It after dinner." The dear old lady paused for breath, tar Mrs. Wade was speechless, and Aur.t Rebecca continued her account "Yes, and she persuaded us all to have a neighborhood supper on Thanksgiving that we all enjoyed. I tell you she L the most energetic young person I ever saw. Never still unless she has to be. and always helping somebody. When my ankle was hurt and I couldn't go to town for so long she did all the errands, and even helped with the fall preserves. At first she worried about missing so much at school, but the high school teacher boards right across the road with Mrs. Strong, and he glres her lesions in the evening. We have centralized schools in our township, that Is the :.iilding you can see about a quarter of .1 mile down the road, and it seems real lucky we are so near the school house. Mr. Tupper says Emily is one of the märtest glrfc he ever saw, and she is doing just splendid in her lessons. I wouldn't wonder if she was ahead of her class this minute. Everybody thinks sc much of her, too. One day In our missionary meeting she told about the poor children in the cities, and the ladles decided right away to " "Mother!" screamed Emily, bursting into the kitchen at this moment breathless and glowing. "I saw you get out of the buggy when I was way down the road and I knew you right away. You didn't come to, take me home, did jvu?"

"Can it be possible?" gasped Mrs. Wade, holding the rosy, panting girl t arm's length and taking In every detail of her healthful appearance. "Such eyes and such red cheeks ! Aunt Louise ivuld not complain of scragginess now, could she? My dear, I am delighted to find you so radiant. There must be something wonderful In the country air that transforms pale little ghosts to flesh and blood young women. And you (ire not ready to go home?" "Why, you see, mother," said Emily in her old brisk way, "I couldn't ro a -vay and leave all the things unfinished that I have begun. You must stay too and we will have fine times together. I must help with the, cantata ii t the church and the exercises at the school house, for I have promised, and we are to have three or four taffy Pullings and a sled ride if snow comes and I can't tell you how many other things." "It is nice and gay because Emily stirred up all the young people," exp ained Aunt Rebecca. "I've seen the time winter after winter that there wasn't a thing going on, but it's all different now." "Tell us how you managed It, Emily?" said Dr. Benson, when he, with tte family, exclaimed over the wonderful change In the girl. "Did you employ a witch?" "I lay it to the fact that I had absolutely no care," said Emily demurely. "I had to shake a few drops of water on my letters once in a while to deceive the folks at home, for I was afraid .hey might send for me and It was easy to let some sighs slip in but I had a !crfectly splendid time. I was free to do as I pleased from morning till night, with no doses to bother me. In short I had a real rest cure." The Housewife.

MAROONED IN A BLIZZARD. Traveling Salesman Tell of an Awful Mcht by Statte. Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday morning for Madison County points and while waiting in Butte the night before bold some Interesting tales of his experience while making the territory in Southern Montana which is not yet covered by the railroad. "The time of my iife," he said, "was experienced between Bannack and Argenta. I was making the trip by stage and my driver was one of tte old-time stage drivers of the overland road. The only nar.e I ever knew for him was Shorty, and he was one ot! the best that ever pulled the ribbons over a team of horses in Montana. "Shortly after we left Argenta it began snowing, but we paid little attention to the storm, being wrapped up comfortably. When we 'topped' the hill and started across the foothills to connect with the old Bannack road we ran Into the teeth of the blizzard. The thermometer Iegan dropping rapidly and almost before we knew It we found ourselves chilling fast To add to our trouble, the air became so filled with snow that we could not see the length of our sled ahead of us. The storm came so fast and fierce that the horses refused to face It and before we realized It we were off the road' and the horses were helplessly floundering through the snow, which seemed almost bottomless. By, this time darkness had come and wewere off the trail. "To make the matter worse, the horses in floundering broke the tongue from the sled and we were holed up for good. Then we saw that we were in for.lt for the night and prepared to make the best of a bad bargain. There was a little straw in the lottom of the sled and we tied the horses up so that they could eat this. The driver and myself walked "xack and forth, about a rod apart, all night long and In this manner managed to keep warm. We smoked several boxe3 of sample cigars and it seemed as If the night would never come to an end. "Occasionally I would get uncommonly tired and sleepy and would attempt to doze off, but 'Shorty' would stand for nothing of the sort He would rouse me, by drastic means If necessary, and make me continue my walk to and fro opposite him. Finally, after the lapse of at least a century, tLe night rame to an end and daylight began showing around the gulch. With the approach of day the storm went down and the air cleared. 'Shorty' Immediately began rustling and lefore long found a pole that could be used as a sled tongue, and we toggled up matters and continued our trip to Bannack. We arrived there in time for a late breakfast and were not surprised to learn that the thermometer had registered 13 below throughout the nlgjit" Anaconda Stmdard. 'i A rianne of liner. The British shlkarri need not leav his battery idle, even If big game It Africa has become too scarce to hi worth the cost of pursuit, says the London Globe. He has only to turn hl footsteps to the Irrawaddy Valley to secure an amplitude of that most heroic of all field sports, tiger shooting. For some reason or other Mr. Stripes has begun to colonize that locality on quite an extensive scale, even Invading villages at night and taking heavy toll of their Inhabitants. The natives, much to their credit, offer all vbe resistance in tbelr power, but wretchedly armed as they are the Intruder takes little harm from their fusillades. Here, then, Is an excellent opportunity for the well endewed British sportsman. Burma is more accessible than the African Interior and also a far pleasanter and healthier country to knock about In. And who will deny that tiger shooting affords more exciting sport than potting Wild elephants or hippopotami? Those who pursue on foot the great cat carry their lives in their hands every moment, while even from elephant back or from a "machan" a platform constructed In a big tree there is always the possibility of a combat at close quarters. The strongest argument for the Intervention of the British Nhorod Is the humanitarian; It rests with him and with him alone to save the lives of hundreds of unfortunates. Wild Oat. The seed of the wild oats seems to be endowed with a sort of life of its own. Wild oats when held In the hand will move about In a manner that strongly suggests the motions of the larvae of certain insects. The Time. "Walt a minute." -Ain't got time." "Where you goln'."

Cows giving milk consume much more water than those not giving milk. With reasonably good management sheep should give greater returns than any other live stock. One great source of Infertile eggs Is due to the fact that to-) many females are yarded with one co;k. The expense In Ialor In caring for a garden adequate to supply the needs of an ordinary family need not exceed ?o() a year. If you want to get the !est work out of the boy, let him have half a day off now and then to play ball and give him half a dollar to blow in on the next circus. Early hatched chicks should be taken from the brooders and placed In ratproof colony houses. They will huddle In a corner at first, and should be taught to roost as soon as possible. The labor of hand weeding may b reduced to a minimum by planting In freshly worked soil only, tilling close to the rows earjy In the season, and permitting no weeds to ripen their seed. In selecting eggs for hatching, take those of uniform size and thickness of shell. Reject the dirty, mottled eggs and those with thin shells. Do not set small eggs nor eggs more than thirty days old. , , , . r . . Where sixteen hours' a day is still the rule on the farm it Is pertinent to ask the question, "Is there any necessity for such slaving?" Many a boy has bten driven to the city by just such methods of carrying on farm operations. Grape cuttings should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. In planting-put them in the ground up to the top bud and at a slant so that the soil will be packed firmly about them to prevent drying out It ought not to require the aid of experts to show the danger of formaldehyde and formalin as a milk preserver. The milk sellers do. not have the sani interest In this that the consumers have, and all who persist in the use of suci drugs should be given a taste of tha strong arm of the lw. It Is best to buy seed corn In thi car when practicable. The whole ear-a are honest representatives and show for themselves. It is best to dlscar.I ail the defective, Irregular-shaped grains from the ends of the ear in o4dor to insure a perfect stand. A pefect stund materially lessens the cost of production. The "cock-snre cure" for hog cholera promulgated a few years ago by th? government has gone off "half cocked"' and the whole schein? has failed. l.v reason it failed was due to the fact that a whole herd had to be destroyed b order t) effect a cure. Strange. This Is like the man who cleared his hara of rats by sotting it on fire. Artistic garden beds have earned a good, long rest If there ever was any reason for them it has all vanlsued. The best way to grow garden vegetables nowadays is to grow them in long rows fo they can be easily cultivated by hand or wheel hoe. riant rows extending across the garden, arranging the varieties so that other and later crops caa take the place of the early vegetable. Sheep are the best animals to graie In a sod orchard. They crop the gravs coq to the ground, thus obviating Ioks of moisture by evaporation through the blades. They do not tramp the ground solidly like cattle, and their droppings are an aid to fertilization because of their extended distribution. S"?op also keep the orchard clear of weeds and briars, if turned Into It early enough in the sumner. Overripe cream means rancid butter. The scientific buttermaker ripens his cream to a uniform acidity. The amount of acid his cream contains he measures by means of a test The man who makes butter on the farm should use '.his test, or else he should use something that will enable him to know exactly when to stop the ripening process and begin to churn his cream. Butter to sell well should be unlforai in quality. - Experiments show that a cow when In full flow of milk drinks from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of water a month, the averat quantity, determined by testing a Lerd, being 1,000 pounds per cow. This fact shows the Importance of unlimited supply of water at all seasons of the year. In every 100 quarts of milk the farmer sells about eightyeight quarts of water, and wheii the cow cannot procure water at all times she will fall off In yield. Fruning should be done as early as possible to give the wounds time to heal. Especially Is this true where pruning Is heavy. It Is not yet too late to finish this sort of work, but no large limbs should be cut because they will not heal in time to prevent bleeding when the sap begins to flow. Painting all scars of an Inch or more In diameter made at this time of the year will prevent bleeding and destroy a breeding place for fungus diseases. In planting peach trees a Western Missouri orchardlst recommends putting out strong one-year-olds and cutting them back to start switches 18 Inches high. He plants his trees IS to 20 feet apart, and cultivates well. He claims the best tool for this purpose Is i double cutaway harrow. After three years he cuts the trees back one-third on each season's growth. Tomatoes he recommends as a good crop to grow in the peach orchard, provided there Is a market for them: Experiments made at the Cornell University Experiment Station in orcharding several years ago proved that It look more fertility from the soil to produce twenty average crops of apples than to produce twenty average crops Of wheat It will be readily seen that In view of this fact not only should no secondary crops be grown In the orchard which will rob the soil, but that

the trees should be heavily fertilized where possible. It is this pull of the tiees on the fertility of the soil that makes clover and alfalfa Ideal orchard crops. Ol dornt Horde In A morion. The supposed oldest horse In Axaerl ?a. aged ."2, Is at Stanhope, la. The horse that has just completed more than half a century of life is in falrlj g.iod flesh and is fed ou bread baked with an additional ration of sugar each day. Jt Is said that all the signs ol great age are present. The coat is hide-bound and Ins not shed for sev eral years, and the muscles have lost their powers to a degree.

Soy Bean In Feeding Hatlon. Frof. J. II. Skiner, of the Purdue University Experiment Station, says that with good clover pasture swine growing was much more economlca' than by feeding alone. Experiments In feeding at the Indiana station show the cost per 100 pounds of grain with com meal only was $3.01 ; with onehalf corn meal and one-half middlings $3.44; with two-thirds corn meal and one-third soy beans, $3.09; and fivesixths corn meal and one-third tankage, $3.71. The use of so.v beans was commended to improve the ration, better returns in grain thus being secured while the beans as a crop in. growing add to the fertility of the oil. Tomatoes Early and Good. An Indiana fanner ;ys that generally very early tomatoes are very poor quality about one-half seeds and vne-half water. Here is the way, he says, he gets early tomatoes of good quality: He takes medium early of good variety, plant in a pot cr old can that Is first lined with a piece of old muslin or other thin cloth, then filled with good soil. He plants three or four seeds, sets uion shelf with house plants, lets grow until latter part of May, then lifts out the plant, soil and all, by the cloth, and plants In the garden, thinning to one stalk to a can. He lias set out when. in blooin and had tomatoes In a short time. How to Get Kid of Mole. An Indiana writer says that It la easy to get rid of moles. He states: The moles do their work In daytime, from 0 in the morning till 11 noon. I want no trap or poison. I go out in the morning and tramp the dirt down In the runs, and when the time comes for thent to go to work I go and look for theni and keep very still. Wh'.n I see one raise the dirt I J -imp on him with my heel and stamp the ground so hard that he can't move. Then I call my dog and have him dig him out In a short time I have the dog hunting moles in the same way. Also teach the children to hunt them; offer a penny for each scalp, and In a short time there will not Ik? a mole on your place. I live where plenty of moles are, bur they don't bother me. Ilee 'onenae. After slumbering more or less quiet ly for a few years, the romantic tale that the bees drop Into each cell of honey a small drop of poison from the sting before sealing up the e-ell, us!g the sting as a trowel to work the wax, seems to have started anew lis rounds of the public press. To any who have sent In clippings of the kind, Ios.slbly wondering what foundation there may be for the yarn, it may le said on the authority of a iee expert that It is all a work of imagination, Its originator apparently seeming to think t true, but never offering a particle of proof. Of course, none of the papers that gave it currency will bother them kelve. with a contradiction, and the only thing that can be done Is patiently to allow it to run Its course and die out, only to be resurrected seven years later by some peuny-a-llner who has nothing else sensational on hand. To Hasten Replanted Cora. F. S. Patterson in Frm and Uanch thus tells how to hasten replanted corn: Drip the strongest kind of liquid manure, and soak the seed In it two days and night before planting. Check the land Cx2 feet drop the corn two to three grains to the hill, put one good big handful of manure or rotted cotton seed on the corn, and cover lightly. If land is strong, leave two stalks to th hill, otherwise one. As soon as corn Is well up, which will be but a few days, have the replant corn soaked two days and nights, or until germ is Just about out. Qo over and carefully replant every hill, one- grain to hill, very shallow. I will guarantee every hill of replant will make just as good corn as yoür first planting, and j-our yield wltl be increased 25 to SO per cent Liquid manure will stimulate germination and your corn. will come up with a move on It Cultivate' quickly and repeatedly. If you cannot plow It, harrow It until large enough to plow. Alfalfa Valuable Feed In Plant. Probably the best summing up of the value of alfalfa to American farmers U In the bulletin on the subject Issued by the Experiment Station of Wisconsin, which follows : "Alfalfa has practlcalJy the same feeding constituents, pound for pound, as good bran, and should bo regarded as an eqaal to bran when used as a feed for stock. Alfalfa yields three times as much protein per acre as clover, and nine times as much protein as timothy." Taking tho two statements together, they are of special significance to dairymen, whose greatest need Is the supplying of protein in the food to the cows at the smallest cost possible. Leaving aside the fact that the crop when once established can be gathered several times during a single season, and that It will retain its cutting value for years, the protein value of It Is enough to make any dairyman take notice and to warrant him in making greater efforts than he ever before made In growing a feeding crop, to grow alfalfa. It Is not denied that in some localities and on some soils it seems almost Impossible to get a stand of alTalfa, but unless conditions are wholly unsulted to the crop it will pay to try and try again until success comes, for, all things considered, It Is by far the most valuable of all feeding crops of a forage nature grown or growable on American farms.

"The Florida Habit." It Is against the law of nature to hurry in Florida. So,' at least, declares a tourist who claims to have acquired by diligent practice an art of ease-taking which he attributes to the cultivation of "the Florida habit" In one of her letters to Northern friends, written In Florida, says a writer in the Boston Transcript, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe hinted at the same thing. She was describing a negrc church service at which the "Last Day" had been the theme. The preacher thus described it: "And den he will say, 'Gabriel, Gabriel, blow you' trumpet! Take It cool

and easy, cool and easy, Gabriel; dey'8 all bound fo' to come.' " HIS ONE WEAK SPOT. Prominent Mlnnenota Merchant Cnred to Stay Cured by Doan'i Kidney rill. O. C. Ilayden, of O. C. Hayden & Co., dry goods merchants, of Albert Lea, Minn., says: "I was so lame that I could hardly walk. There was an unaccountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest asd was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way I could not understand this trouble. It was Just as If all the strength had gone from my back. After suffering for some time I began using Doan's Kidney Tills. The remedy acted at once upon the kidneys, and when normal action was restored, the trouble with my back disappeared.
