"Well," responded the maiden, looking dreamily out at the darkened skies, "if you'll come we'll sit up and watch for that oue too." Then he put down his hat. "Katie," he gasped, "do yot think I'll still be coming here as I am dow 33 years from this time ?" "It looks like it," she replied demurely.

The incident happened while be was visiting Cornell university during a couventiou. The students, glad of a chance to display their enthusiasm, entertained the governor at one of their fraternity houses. Just as he was about to leave one of his staff said to him : "Governor, the boys have the foundation of a capital library, and 1 think they would appreciate a copy of the 'Rough Riders.'" "All right, boys," said the governor, heartily. "I'll he glad to send you a copy with my compliments. The book would be but a small return for your hospitality." Whereupon one of the students broke in excitedly : "That's so, governor; I've read it."? Youth's Companion.

Free the ends of the drumsticks from the body. Place the turkey on the platter with the head at the left. Unless the platter be very large, provide an extra dish, also a fork for serving. Insert the carving fork across the middle of the breastbone. Cut through the skin between the brea9t and the thigh. Bend the leg over, and cut off close to the body and through the joint. Shave off the breast in thin slices, slanting from the i ,i -i trout 01 me oreasiuoue uuwu wnaiu the wing joint. Tip the bird over slightly, and with the point of the kuife remove the oysters and the small dark portion found ou the side bone. Then remove the fork from the breast and divide the leg and wing. Cut through the skin between the body and the breast, and and with a spoon remove a portion of the stuffing. Serve light or dark meat and stuffiing, as preferred. It carved in this way, the turkey will be left with one-half entire, and if placed ou a clean platter, and garnished with parsley, will present nearly as fine au uppearance, to all but the carver, as when first served. When there are many to be served, take oft' the leg aud the wing from euch side and slice the whole of the breast before removing the fork, then divide as required. As a geneial rule, cut across the graiu. A turkey may be placed with the head toward the right haud of the carver. The breast is generally cut iu slices parallel to the breastbone; but if the turkey is large, first cut the wings ofT. Skillful carvers do not agree as to the position of a bird on the platter. Some prefer to have the neck at the right band ; but the majority prefer to have it at the left. Some can cut more easily toward the right than toward the left hand. The carving will be done with more grace if the one who carves works easily and naturally, in-?or./I nf ullomnlinor In fnllnw mi jirhi 3vvuu v/1 uvvvui^vtiig w ?w>>w ?t * ? w~. ?. Lrary rule. The position of the bird in these directions is with the neck at the left.?Farm, Field and Fireside. Fertilizing the Garden.?There is no better way to fertilize the garden than to haul fresh manure from the stable and spread over the surface during the winter, says The Farmer's Voice. Contrary to the common belief, there is never a time when manure is so rich iu plant-food, as the day it is made, and the sooner after that it ^an lie got to the place where it is to be used, the more value it will add to the soil. It is almost impossible to put too much manure on a garden. We would not hesitate to put it a foot thick on the surface, for it will leach only so much more plant-food into the soil, and by plowing lime next spring will be settled down until it can easily he plowed under to furuish humus for the betterment of tbephysicul condition of the soil. Wood askes makes au excellent fertilizer for the garden ; but it should be saved and applied on top of the soil after it is plowed in the spring, as potash is one of the plant-foods that may be washed too deeply iuto the soil to be reached by the roots of garden plants, many of which are shallowrooted. T.ye Hominy.?Take three gallons if strong wood ashes, pour boiling water on them. Stir well, let settle, pour lye off the top. This should make agallou of lye. Take five quarts af shelled corn, pour lye over corn aud boil uutil little black ends rub off easily. Theu wash until all little black specks are removed. Soak in buttermilk about one day ; the buttermilk draws out the lye taste. Wash out the milk, then boiled until done. Keep in a cold place and it will keep a long time. To prepare for table : Put a liberal quantity of meal in a spider, putin as much hominy as is wanted for the meal, season with salt and pepper and fry about ten minutes. For a piut of hominy take about a tablespoonful of Hour, thin with a teacup of milk, pour over hominy, let boil u few minutes, then serve. So many make a failure by not having the lye strong enough. It should be strong enough to bear up an egg. Sprayivg Hogs For Lick.?When lice get into a drove of hogs it will not be long until the effect is noticed. Hogs will not remain healthy with lice present. The earliest and also the most effective way of ridding the swine of the pests is by spraying them with water in which kerosene is stirred. For spraying, use a comraou spraying pump, one of those handy little hand pumps which set in a pail if water being easily managed. Into a pen a few feet square turn two or three hogs aud turn the pump with sprayer attached upon them. Drench them thoroughly, driving the water upon them with full force of the pump. One spraying will kill the lice on a bog, and where the whole herd is treated, including the shed floors, the lice will be exterminated. This is much easier and less disagreeble than greasing and is far more effective. ? J. L. Irwin, Kansas. Kkkpinc; Tukn Covkrkd. ?

Since the Southern absorbed the South Carolina and Georgia roud, there has beeu considerable speculation as to the disposition of the Ohio River and Charleston railroad, which was owued by the South Carolina and Georgia.

An older sister raised the window and told her to throw it out; hut not hearing this, in the confusion, she held on to it. Another sister seized her by the wiist and shook it vigorously, telling her to throw the lamp down. Finally it fell to the floor and spread the flames. Then Clarence, a lad of 8 years, took the lamp and hurled it out of the window, burning his hand considerably in doing so. Of course, the moral of all this is that folks oughtn't to get up hefore duylight, then they would not need to set the house atire to see how to lie their shoes. Founded 1842. 5?

W. W. BOYCE, County Auditor. November 29 w 5t A TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING! THE following is a copy of a circular letter which is being sent out by one of the largest mercantile establisments of the great northwest to their customers throughout the country on the importance of keeping insured against loss by fire: Dkar Sir : During the past few months the losses sustained by merchants, through fires, in that part of the country tributary to the St. Louis market, have been so unusually large and disastrous as to suggest to us the advisability of addressing our customers upon the IMPORTANCE of keeping fully insured at all times. Within the past few weeks four of our own customers have lost their stocks and buildings entire, without insurance, or so nearly so, that the amount carried was totally inadequate to the risk assumed, and in two or three instances, when the fire came, it was found that policies for considerable amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely make a second mistake of this kind, but the commonest feature of the first, is the wiping out of the results of years of labor and thrift and leaving those who commit the folly of failing to insure, in a position whereby they have to face the world in a condition far worse than when commercial life was first begun. Think of the possibilities of having the fruits of 20 years of labor swept away within a few minutes, with no other legacy than smoke and ashes and vain regrets for what might have been prevented by a little foresight! To the wide awake, conservative business man, the expense incident to keeping his goods fully insured is just as legitimate and necessary as that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire. We may escape the consequences of failure to insure for kivk, tkn or twenty years, hut we are just as certain to be brought face to face with it, sooner or later, as we stay in business; therefore, we say to you, if you are not now insured, attend to it before the sun goes down ! With kindly assurances of regard for our mutual interests, we are, Very sincerely, your friends, I represent a number of the leading lire insurance companies of the world and can come up to your requirements.
