bj CARLISLE B. HOBDIXO. I -visited Ealph Rickett's a life-long friend of mine, a short time ago. He lives in Denver, and is manager of the Home Manufacturing Company. In the course of our talk I said: "I never quite under stood what made you throw up your job at Hudson so suddenly; all I remember is that one letter you -wrote me was dated at Grayrille, and the very next one was dated from Denver." "Did I never tell you No, I suppose not, for it would not be very pleasant for me, I do not mind telling you now, though' "By the wry." I interrupted, "did you get a book-keeper to suit you to-day?" "Xo; the only one that seemed prepared to do the work was not the person I would desire in my office at such duty.

She is a lady," "I am sorry. But tell me about leaving Grayville." "It is a long story, but I shall skip part of it," he said, smiling, and touch very gently on otheT parts. To begin at the beginning Hudson Bros, bookkeeper you know, had plenty of time for other work, and I had to act as salesman as well. You remember Dr. Staple- ton, don't you? Ho was the wealthiest farmer and cattle dealer there.

It was my good fos tune to make a good impression oa the old do it at the start, so I frequently spent the evenings at his house. He was always writing on some subject for publication in the county papers, and nothing pleased him better than to get me out there to listen to his essavs before he sert them off. I did not like it very well, but patiently endured the infliction, for after he was through with me I would slip off to the parlor and spend the rest of the evening with Mrs. Stapleton and Grace. "Grace, you know, was the Doctor's niece, and his ward.

She was worth about fifty thousand dollars in her own inherited from her father. The Doctor intended to make her his heiress, and that added clear a hundred thousand more to her possessions, real and prospective." "It never occurred to me that, because she had so much, and I so little, we were not on equal footing. At any rate, I did feel beneath her notice, nor did she treat me in any other way than as a peer." "I remember her well," I stated, "and she never exhibited any elation over her riches." "No." Well, one day she and her mother her aunt, really, but she always called her mother the two called at the store to make some trifling Mr. Hudson waited on Mrs. Stapleton and I on Grace.

They bought mo6t of their goods at Carrolton, but came to ua for any little articles they might want. Mrs. Stapleton said "Grace, we must not forget the sugar!" "Shall I put up some for you I asked, speaking to Grace. "If you please, only a dollar's worth. Papa expects the team to go to Carrolton to-morrow for a barrel of it, with other things we need," she said.

"Will you step this way and select the you want I a3ked, leading the way to the rear, whero the groceries were kept in a separate department. "I showed her the various kinds of sugar, and was. not very expeditions about it either. She did not 6eem in a hurry to co, and know that I was not anxious to have her depart. A few even ings before, when I had called at their house, I had a strong desire to declare my love for her, but was deterred by some incident, I don remember now, what, but I felt certain that had I done so I would have been accepted.

Being alone, I was suddenly and instantly seized with a notion to there and then, across that grocery counter, propose marriage, it was a foolish thing to do, but wnat oetter could you expect or a young man 22, in the presence of Grace Stapleton, the acknowledged belle of all that country "And she said, I interjected. "I wished she had 1 No, she said yes The floor reeled, I lost my head entirely, but manage 1 to get around the counter to where the stood, and with the dollar's worth of sugar hugged tightly to my breast, under my left arm, I reached oat with my right to clasp Grace, when oh, horrors I was qnickl brought to my senses by Mrs. Stapleton's shrill voice almost screamiDg. "How dare you!" "The she stood in the doorway between the two rooms, glaring at me. In an instant she turned sharp around and walked hastily through the front part of the store to her buggy which stood in front Grace followed close behind her and I brought up in the rear still clinging to the package of sugar.

Mr. Hudson gathered tip the parcel she left behind her, and sbe and I reached the buggy just after Mrs. Stapleton had taken her seat therein and while Grace was still standing on the platform in front of the store. Mr. Hudson had not heard ber remark, or at any rate, he was in the dark as to what had occured.

He started to put the parcels in the buggy when Jfrs. Stapleton said excitedly: "Don't you do it! I wnl not one of them!" "Why, Mrs. otapleton, he exclaimed in astonishment. "What!"

On those farms where there are no running streams the difficulty of pro-viding water is one that receives the consideration of every farmer who may be so situated as to be compelled to provide water. The water must either be conducted to the stock or the stock must be driven to the water. The most expensive method to adopt is the latter, and it must be admitted ti at in cases where there are pools in the pasture they become dry and stagnated, thereby compelling the stock to remain thirsty a great portion of the time. Many farmers content themselves with watering the stock in the morning, before driving them to the pasture, and also at night, but this interval of time, especially during the warm days of summer, causes suffering to the animals, and in the case of cows giving milk the lack of water will cause a falling off in tho supply.

PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS. Probably no concern in the country has adhered more strictly to the determination to achieve success by the liberal use of printer's ink than has the Brown Chemical Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting busi ness about hve rears ago, they have expended over sl.fiOO.OOO in the preparation and circu lation of printed matter, more than half of which has been paid for newspaper adrertis ing. All this has been done to make known the virtues of their celebrated Brown's Iron Bitters. As might be expected, very large sales nave resulted from this enormous outlay.

In fact, Brown's Iron Bitters is about as staple in many drag stores as is flour at the corner grocery. all good things, Brown's Iron Bitters has been largely imitated, There are unscrupulous manufacturers who cater to just thii sort of trade, and some dealers are so lacking in principle, that because a greater profit can be mr-ia on fraudulent than on genuine medicines, they are willing to delude the pnblie by poshing off Iron Touio Bitters and other lonio Medi cines in place of the genuine Brown's Iron Bitters, which is undoubtedly one or tne purest and best medicines known. These frauds have been practiced so extensively, that the Comnnnv. finding all other means inadequate, have at last determined to try a little cold law to put a stop to tjiem. Suits for heavy damages have therefore been commenced aginst Frederick Stearns Detroit.

Minneapolis Messenger: The Grand Army of the Republic has this peculiarity over all other military organizations, it receives no recruits.

Other armies are kept up and augmented by constant accessions to their ranks. Young blood. vigorous muscle, new, life, continually being added, recuperate their energies and maintain efficiency; but the crippled and way-worn veterans receive no new company, see no new faces, repeat no words of command in young comrades ears, jog no timid boys in the discharge of unfamiliar duties. Silently they move onward, recognizing the inevitable in their last march. When they fall out of the ranks it is to take a rest from which no blare of bugle nor roll of drum, shall ever call them again.

Vermont at least will appreciate the seasonable story of. one of their fellow- countrymen: Ike Sloan was a farmer, like all othar Vermontejs, but wasn't ex actly one of the type whose "critters" and vegetables always bring more money than other people's.

On. the contrary, if there was any difference between the price that he got for his products and the market rate it was generally to his disadvantage; One day on bis way back from the village he complained bitterly to the people, with whom he gossiped along the road that the store-keeper had abused him most shamefully by giving, him only nine cents' a pound for his maple, sugar. But "gol dorn him," said Sloan, with a chuckle, "I got even with him, for I put mpre'n two dozen bucketr fids of water into the sap before I 'tiled it!"

Oskaloosa Independent: The upland wheat in this part of the state is virtually a failure, there being only here and there a field which will make even half a crop. In most of the bottoms throughout Jefferson county, however, the fields look well and give promise of a fair crop. This makes practically, three failures in succession counting the ruinously low prices that have prevailed for a year or two and will tend more than ever to discourage wheat planting hereabouts. Tame grass and cows will be the tenden cy in this vicinity from now on a vast change for the better. Iola Register: Mr.

Allen McDonald received one of the finest horses that has ever been brought to Allen county. It is a thoroughbred Clydesdale, bred Dumfries Scotland, from which place it was directly 'imported. By certificate from the Clydesdale Horse Society of Great Britahi and Ireland." we find the horse registered as follows: "Lord Wil liam, 4547, foaled May 1883, color bay, bred by K. Kennedy, Hewlands, Dumfries; sire Young Prince Charlie (2530); dam Maggie of Broomdyked (241b): sire or dam, Jjofty (460). Ten years ago the loco weed was un known in this state.

Two years aero it appeared to be taking the place of buffa. lo grass. It was so common, and om that cause was' credited the loss on cattle and horses that year, followed by a hard winter that done up loco-eating cattle. Last year the weed was not near so plenty, and it is thought by two or three years mOre it will have almost disappeared from this section of country. Not only owners of live stock, but everybody in the country is interested in seeing this pest disappear.

Medicine Lodge Cressett: The native grasses south-western Kansas are the buffalo, gramma, blue-stem, bunch grass, wild-rye, pea-vine, joint grass and various kinds of water grasses and reeds. The buffalo, gramma grasses, that a few years ago had almost complete possession, are rapidly giving way to blue-stem and red-top. Buffalo grass, like the animal for which it is named, will not stand civilization, and year by year grows scarcer. Where this year the ground is covered by the short, curling will, next the tall graceful blue-stem. Marysville News: A yearling grade Hereford bull will sell from $40 to $50, and heifers almost as high.

Why will it not pay the farmers of the north half of the county to raise more of these. The farmers of the south half are fur nishing hundreds of these cattle each year, to the ranchmen of western Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, but only a few are yet raised in the north half. Two are three farmers can go in togeth er and buy a thoroughbred bull and clear enough from him in one year to pay for him. Horses poor and cattle bogging, roads says a Colorado item, which is very bad in either case this time of the year, and taking tne two together, it a poor outlook for the cattle around the bogs, as the owner of both.

The idea is a good one and might be followed with Ivantago in most of the range coun tries. McPherson Freeman: The wheat crop of this county is almost wholly destroyed from the effects of the severe winter, wneat sown in the corn will perhaps make a fair crop, but that sown on stubble ground will be plowed under. Broom corn, last year, was the most profitable crop raised in the county and mignn be the proper thing for each armer to plant a few acres of this crop to help the corn and oats carry him over, Pomona (Franklin County Enterprise: Munday Parkinson of that place have finished threshing their crop of sorghum seed, and that they expect to realize about thirty-five cents per busnel for it. We learn from neigboring farmers that the previous two week's, weather has been very severe on growing whaet, and fields which earlier were quite promising will now be plowed up and planted to corn. ot.

luarys jLxpress: An immense quantity of oats has been sown in the neighborhood. The majority of farmers have used their old wheat ground for an oat crop, and almost with out exception had the crop in the ground berore tne rams or the past week. Nescatunga Kansan: Experiments have demonstrated that this portion of nansas is particularly adopted to this raising of grapes and plums. The wild fruit of this kind whih is so abundant here, is also.strong evidence in support oi tne opinion. Burh'ngton Republican: Farmers say that they never saw the ground in better shape for cultivation than it is this spring.

The indications are that Kansas will get to the front this year with another immense yield of all kinds of crops. Oswego Democrat: Talk about blooded stock, but T. J. Wimsatt has a milch cow which he has been offered a $1,100 set of silverware and refused the offer, and the cow is not a thoroughbred either, but she is a "daisy" all the same. Clyde Mail: C.

Flock-masters will note with pleasure the action of the A. T. S. F. and the Union Pacific railroad companies, in making freight concessions for shipping sheep.

Kansas Farmer: When training grape vines to trellises or arbors, the buds on the under side of the arms should be removed. They are in the way and do no good. Along the Chickaskia river, in Sumner county, wheat is said to be in fine condi tion. A farmer's garden in rows clear across the patch and cultivated as far as possible by horse power and given as good cultivation as the best fanners give their, corn fields, will require only half an acre to supply half of the living of the average family and add largely to the health of its members. Wo are creditaly informed that some of the wheat fields of Gabetteounty have been plowed up this erir and planted in corn and Oats.

"I TJersisted that I was innocent any wronsr intent or" action. He storm ed around awhile and finally left the store. The next I knew he was on his horse, riding out to the doctor's home. When he came back his face was livid with rage, but he only remarked: "I will pay you off to-night, and you may quit!" "I was too proud to 6tay.

I had act ed very foolishly, I know, but I did not consider that I deserved, such rough treatment. The next morning I was in Carrolton by the first train. I drew the $300 1 had saved from the bank and came here. And here I am." "But did you ever hear from Grace?" "Yes, I wrote her a note from Carrol ton and received the answer after I got here. It was forwarded to me." He turned to his desk, took a bundle of letters, and selecting one said: "I do not mina letting you see it, out you are the only one, excepting myself, that has ever read that letter, and I have, I be lieve, read it a thousand times." The letter was short, and this: "At Home.

Dear, dear Balph: Mam ma commands me to write you, and would have so even had not your letter come to-day. She says I must say no. I do, because she says 6o. I shall be your own true Grace as long as I live. Do not write, for mama would be sure to get the letter, and would make my life a burden.

This partner was a reck ess speculator: for a time successful the tide turned and he lost heavily: finally he signed checks in the firm's name to cover his individual The end soon came; all he, and all the Doctor had, and all Grace had went into the vortex, and now nothing remains except the little home place lirayville. "JLhat is very sad, I said emphatical xes," he replied, with, a lively air, "that is very sad, but not so sad as it might have been." True," I assented, "you might have bankrnpt too, if your plans had not been so suddenly thwarted, instead of living here the princely style you do." 'And then," he rejoined, "1 would not have had the bother of selecting a book keeper from a dozen applicants." "Sure enough.

But why did you not take the one you said was well qualified for the place that lady you mentioned Just this, she recently graduated, that is, above a year ago, from a commercial college in Chicago; served a year with a first-class house there, and came west for higher wages. She had a father and mother dependent upon her earnings, and 1 know that she cannot support them upon the salary I pay my asssistant book-keeper." But if she wishes to trv, why not let her?"

Poultry raising is among the many profitable specialties of the country, and the industry is followed moro largely every year. --It is done on a large scale in many places. Instead of being called ranches, they are called poultry farms, and egg. farms. Some of these farms have as many as fifteen thousand fowls.

The profit is very large, in many instances reachiog over 200 per cent. The only drawback seems to be the lack of knowledge in taking care of them. But there is no mystery about this. Peojile sometimes go into the poultry business who have never set a hen, and know nothing about the poultry business at all. There must be a practical knowledge of the nature of the fowls, the habits, the necessities, and how to best adapt the accommodations to their habits.

They must be taken care of. It is pleasant business, and once undertaken it is a source of profit the year round. Kirwin Independent'. C. W.

Hull has purchased of Wm. Ford of Central City, Iowa, the Cleveland Bay Stallion, "Beauty" foaled 1879, and imported in 1881 by Geo. E. Brown, of Aurora, 111.

He is or pure blood as everybody ac quainted with Cleveland Bay stock will see at a glance. The Cleveland Bay is a distinct breed of horses, and derive their name from their beautiful color, and fertile district of Cleveland, England, where they originated. They are dis tinguished for style, action and endur ance, being finely muscled, without sur plus of flesh. They are' good feeders, and consequently easy Keepers, and are uniformily kind and gentle. They are so strongly bred in bay color, that it takes from three to four run out of the color.

The same firm pur' chased from W. P. Martin, of Chase county, sixty head of grade Hereford yearling bulls, said to be the best lot of half bred and cross bred Herefords in the country.

The firm believe in using the best strains of blood only for the im provement of their cattle. Dodge City Globe: To those accus tomed to range life, Ford county to-day compared with a year ago, appears like a decay in one's life. Now we hear men talking about what is the best grass seed to 6ow for pasture. Their idea of plant ing trees to shade stock in the pasture and other matters in the rearing and careing for live stock, that as we said only a few years ago would have sounded strange and altogether out of place. It is evident, however, that care and attention is to be given to our live stock in the future, such as has been un known here in the future, such- as has here in the past.

St. Marys Express: Mr. Isaac Keyser, of theKaw Valley, has a patch of twenty-eight acres of timothy grass on his farm. It was sown last year and looks as fine and nice this spring as grass possibly can. It is unmixed with weeds, and covers the ground as evenly and "nicely as a carpet.

It furnished feed for stock during all the past winter when uncover ed frc piow and ice, and will make a vast quan'tity of first class hay summer.
