ItOW!* lot free.
I had heard about the man in Kansas who
was giving away town lots free, and one day
I left the train at a small station and hired a
man to drive me over to the site of the future
great city. I found a sixty acre farm staked
out into lots twenty feet front by sixty feet
deep, but only one house and one person
was in sight. The house was a farm cabin,
mid the person was the owner of it and the
one I wanted to see.
"Come for a lot?" he asked as we drove
up.
"Yes, in case my information is correct.
Do you give them away free ?" .
"I do."
"I had heard so."
"Go right out and select any one you like.
Those selected are marked with red stakes;
those not yet taken by black ones."
I took a walk around, and made a selection
and he found the number and said: .
"You want an abstract of title, of course.
Here it is. and the fee is $3.
When I had received it he hunted out a
deed already signed, and filled my name in,
called in the teamster and his wife for witnesses,
and said:
"Here is your deed; I'll have to charge $4
for that."
I paid the sum named, and then he got
down a hig book, and said :
"You want it recorded, of course. I am
the county clerk. The fee for recording is
$3. I had it duly recorded and just then
dinner was ready. Hg invited me to sit
down, but when we were through he said :
"My charge for dinner is seventy-five
cents. The taxes on your lot will be due
next week, and you had better leave the
money. The amount is $1.75, and my commission
for receipting will be twenty-five
cents.
I paid him the sum named, and was about
to get into the wagon when he said:
"The charge for bringing you over and takyou
back is $2. Half belongs to me, as I
own the wagon. One dollar, please."
"Can you think of anything further," I
asked, as I handed him a dollar.
"Well, you'll have to stop at the junction
about four hours before the eastern train
comes along. I own the restaurant there.
Please eat all you can."
"I have," I said, after a little figuring,
"paid you $13.75 for a lot you advertise to
give away free. How much do you call
this land worth an acre ?"
"All of $6, sir. I've been offered $5 and
wouldn't take it."
"Then I've paid you more than the value

or iwo acres 10 get ? iui i?6g vUVU().. ?j
a couple of cows on."
"Exactly, sir?exactly, and I congratulate
you on your bargain."
"Then you don't call it a swindle?"
"No, sir! No sir! A man who will kick
on buying a chunk of the glorious West for
less than $14' isn't straight, and Mr. Tompkin,
I'd advise you to keep an eye on him
going back, and see that he doesn't jump
out of the wagon and bilk you out of your
dollar.
v admired' frankness.
A man stood thoughtfully leaning against
a lamp-post. A stranger approached him,
says The Arkansaw Traveller, and after a
moment's scrutiny said:
"Excuse me fbr this intrusion upon your
apparent meditation, but I wish to ask you
a few questions."
"Certainly," said the man, bowing and regarding
the fellow with a kindly eye.
"I thank you for your consideration," rejoined
the fellow, bowing with equal courtesy,
if not with equal grace; "I wish to ask
""" ;f""t. aHmirp that nualitv which
Juu " Jwu """ 1 v
we term frankness.
"Yes, of course I do."
"I am delighted to hear you say so, sir.
Now," he added, after a short pause, "you
may think me very peculiar, and doubtless I
am, but something impels me to be frank
with you."
"All right, sir; go ahead."
"Thank you, I'll do so. Now, just a few
moments ago, as I stood over there regarding
you, it struck me that I did not like your
looks, and debated with myself the question j
whether or not I should tell you. The delicate
consideration, the bright hue of reason
that sometimes lights up the dark ground of
impulse, suggested that I should first discover
whether or not you were an admirer of
frankness. I am glad that you are, fbr it
gives me the opportunity of telling you without
malice that I do not like your appearance.
See
"That's all right," the man quietly replied.
"You have a right to express your opinion."
"You are a considerate man," said the fel*
"V t?A*i ota

admirer of frankness, I should like to tell
you that I would not trust you ten minutes."
"That's all right," the man rejoined.
"And furthermore," the fellow continued,
"I feel that you are a pickpocket."
"A man has a right to express his feelings.
You acknowledge that, don't you ?"
"Assuredly, sir. I have expressed my
feelings, and why should you not express
yours ?"
"I should express mine, and shall do so,
but before I give you an expression of
those feelings, you mult promise to treat me
with as much consideration as I have treated
you."
"O, I promise that."
"All right, here goes;" and picking up his
foot with an electric jerk, he kicked the fellow
into the street. "That is my opinion of
you."
The fellow rubbed himself for a moment, j
and then, through a horrified grin, said:
"Look here, I do like frankness, but I don't;
care to see a man so blamed outspoken." j
A Keen Retort.?There is a Unitarian
clergyman who is not without a power of i
keen retort, and who is none the less gifted
with the grace to command his tongue, rather
than to allow his tongue to command him.
He has in his congregation, says The Courier,
one of those women who make a pretence
of frankness an excuse for rudeness,
and who are given to boasting that they are
plain-spoken, when the truth is that they are
simply ill-bred and insolent. This especial
lady is wealthy, and there are not many in
the list of her acquaintances who dare rebuke
her, albeit they do together console each other
for the wounds they suffer from her tongue
by abusing her roundly.
It chanced that one evening the lady and i
the clergyman were partners at whist at the j
house of a common friend, and so successful,
were they that they won almost every game j
for the evening. Like people who are fond i
of having their own way, the lady was in ;
high good humor over this success, and when i
the play was over she pushed back her

and graceful remark to her partner :
"You do play a good game of whist, Mr.
Blank; if you only preached as well as you !
play whist, it would be a treat to go to j
church to hear you."
The clergyman was quite equal to the oc- j
casion. He kept his temper and his face un-1
der perfect control as -he replied :
"Thank you, Miss Sharp ; but you know J
anybody can learn to play whist, while ge- i
niusand good-breeding come by the grace of.
God." ^
JST An Irish gentleman, who called on an I
eminent singing-master to inquire his terms, i
was told, "I charge two guineas for the first
lesson, but only one guinea for as many as
you please afterwards." "0 bother the first J
lesson, then said the other; "let us begin at
once with the second." Auother native of
the Green Isle exhibited an equal comprehension
to economic possibilities when he
went to have the banns of marriage proclaimed.
In answer to his inquiry as to the
cost, the register told him that the fee for
being proclaimed on one day was ten shillings,
for two proclamations it was five shillings,
and for three times it was half a crown.
"Bedad !" said the Irishman, "but that's an
illigant arrangement. You can just go 011
proclaiming me and Biddy till there's nothing
to pay at all."
Conscientious John.?A lady had in her
employment a young man from the country, j
On certain occasions he was instructed to inform
any company who might ring at the
door that "Mrs. Blank was not at home."!
One day John made this reply to a lady, j
who shortly went away, leaving a card and
a promise to call again. As the card was
handed to his mistress, she said :
"John, what did you say to the lady
"I told her you were not at home."
"Well, I hope you didn't laugh."
"Oh, no, ma'am," said John; "I never
laugh when I tell a lie."

THE ROLLER NEEDED IX THE GARDEN.
In field or garden the roller is not used to
the extent in the South that its value warrants.
This arises from a lack of a ppreciation
of the principle in the refirming of soil
after one has gone to the trouble of loosening
it up as much as possible with the plow.
Except amongst the intelligent class of farmers,
the impression is very general that the
desirable thing to do is to leave the soil in a
loose and open condition, as practicable, after
the seed has been deposited in the soil or the
plant transplanted in it. The idea is that
the lighter and looser the soil is left the
' 'longer will it remain in suitable condition for
the spreading of the roots and offset the influence
of packing rains that soon afterward
follow the planting. To those who have not
learned from a proper experience and observation
the good ends effected by rolling, the
idea of doing anything towards refirming or
repacking that they have taken so much pains
to loosen up as much as possible, is intolerable.
It would be difficult, if not utterly impossible,
to persuade any large number of
those who simply follow their work under
nf inhpritpd ideas, and have
not tested the matter for themselves, that
there was any sense in such a process as the
partial refirming of the soil. It will be, or
at any rate, has been the case for some time,
a waste of word9 to advise the average farmer
to roll the soil after sowing his oats or rye
or barley, fodder, corn, grass seed or clover.
Of course, it will not do to roll land when it
is wet?too wet to accomplish the intended
good. Nor will it do to plow land when
such is the case. In fact, it may be stated
the process of rolling is founded upon the
principles that underlie the proverbial saying
that "a dry seed bed makes a good harvest."
A dry seed bed calls for t!he use of a
roller to secure the prompt germination of
seeds that would otherwise be slow to come
up, if they came up at all, if the soil was not
pressed firmly about them so as to give them
the benefit at once of the limited moisture
then available in the surface soil, and which
would be speedily dispelled if the soil were
left in an open, porous condition. Rolling
gives to the seeds the immediate use of this
moisture, and aids the soil to desire an additional
amount through capillary action, from
the depths below. Rolling of the soil when
dry has also a marked effect, as a pulverizer,
crushing clods, large or small, to an extent
that the'harrow, however much used, cannot
accomplish.
In the market garden the roller is an indispensable
implement in securing the most
satisfactory results. Its value may not be
utilized freely and fair results be obtained
without its use, but the best results, especially
from midsummer sowings, cannot be obtained
without its use. It is a supplier of
needed moisture, more available on a large
scale than mulching even.
Anything that gives the necessary pressure
to the soil can be used as a roller.
In very large gardens a horse power roller
will be used for broadcast or drilled seeds.
A roller can be made out of a short section
of round heavy log, or one can be construct
ed out of an irou bound keg or barrel, in a
very small garden the simple act of rolling a
heavy barrel along the seed drills does the
work perfectly, though not in so convenient
a manner. A common wheelbarrow with an
iron bound wheel twelve or fifteen inches
wide makes a useful combination?wheeler
and roller for home-garden use. The most
primitive way is to tread the soil over the
seeds with the feet or tramp it with hoe or
spade. This is rather too tedious except for
use in the seed beds or frames. In transplanting,
pressure, can only be properly secured
with hand or foot, the latter accomplishing
it more satisfactory aud expeditiously.
By properly pressing the soil to the
roots of the plant with the foot immediately
after inserting it into the soil, the starting of
new roots is assured at once even in quite
dry weather.
ABOUT SODA.
Perhaps no chemical in use by the housekeeper
is more pernicious when abused?
that is, used in excess?or more valuable
when judiciously handled, than soda. Visions
of a greeuish yellow compound, anciently
known as "saleratus biscuit," rise,
instantly before us when the abuse of soda
is mentioned, and possibly some may recall
distrPHsinp exneriences resulting from its
o * ^
use as a "stomach settler," according to the
prescription of some worthy aunt or grandma
of the old regime.
A series of experiments, however, extending
over a period of some years spent in
practical housekeeping, have convinced me
that a majority of houskeepers dp not fully
appreciate this homely chemical as an economic
aid. Its cheapness no one will question?especially
if bought in large cans instead
of the common pound packages. If
the latter are purchased, buy them "three
for a quarter," rather than ten cents each.
1. It will save you sugar. Have you ever
stood despairingly before a crock of stewed
cranberries, gooseberries, rhubarb, dried
plums?or, worse than all, prunellas?throwing
in sugar, tasting, puckering your face
and throwing in more, glancing dubiously
meanwhile at the lowering of the sugar in
your "dollar's worth" can? I remember
well my grand-mother's rule for sweetening
pie-plant pies. It was this: "Put in all the
sugar your conscience will allow, then shut
your eyes and throw in a double handful."
Her pies were excellent, but the rule was
expensive. Here is a cheaper one: When
sweetening extremely acid fruits like the
above, stir in a little soda before adding the
sugar. Experience will guide you as to the
quantity you may safely use without injuring
the flavor of the fruit, but as a general rule
I think a half-teaspoonful of soda to ^ quart
of fruit may be easily borne.
2. It will save you fuel. A young friend
said to me one day: "We are very fond of
string beans, and they are the cheapest fresh
vegetable one can buy, if only it did not take
so long to cook them ; but unless I plan to
have them on baking or ironing day I cannot
afford them. It seems absurd to keep an j
extra fire for two hours just for a little mess
of beans." Have you had her experience?
Try a little soda?just a generous "pinch" of
soda for a common mess of beans, put into |
the water in which you boil them, will cook
the toughest beans tender in an hour or less
and detract nothing from their flavor. The
same is true of boiled onions, beets, tough
meats, etc. In boiling a ham always parboil
in soda water, then take it out and wash and
scrape well, add clear water, and you will be I
surprised to see how much more sweet and !
tender your ham will be. A piece of fresh
beef that has lain just long enough to become
a trifle suspicious, li.av be so renewed
by parboiling in soda water as to be above j
reproach when placed before the most deli- i
cate nostrils. In the case of a beefsteak or
roast, a thorough rinsing in cold soda water|
will prove quite effectual, when the taint is
so slight as to be \yholly on the exposed surface.
Perhaps these latter suggestions should
have had a heading of their own, viz.: "It
will save you meat."
3. It will save you soap. Did you ever
try soda as a substitute tor soap in washing j
dishes, cleaning sinks etc.? To a person)
who uses very cheap or home-made soaps, I
perhaps this will be no saving in pence, j
but I am sure the results will be more j
satisfactory. If soda be added to the
dish-water instead of soap, there will be
no greasy rims around the dish-pan, no j
"suds" on the dishes, and they will have!
a clean feel peculiarly pleasing to the |
fastidious housekeeper. In cleaning sinks j
and very greasy cooking utensils, it is in- j
valuable. The philosophy, or rather ehem- j
istry, of it is apparent at once, the alkali!
acting on the grease. If you have a sensitive
skin which will bear only the use of
castile or some equally fine grade of soap
in your common housework, you will find
soda much cheaper and no harder on the
skin. In fact, it is well known that soda
makes a valuable addition to the water used
in a bath.
These, of course, are not all of the uses of
soil a, but are offered as a suggestive foundation
uj>oii which the bright housekeeper may
build ad libitum.?(Jood Housekeeping.

THE TIRED WIFE.
All day the wife had been tolling
From an early hour in the morn,
i And her hands and her feet were weary,
With the burdens that she had borne;
i But she said to herself: "The trouble
That weighs on my inind is this?
That Tom never thinks to give me
A comforting hug or kiss.
I'm willing to do my duty,
To use all my strength and skill
In making the home attractive,
In striving my place to till ;
But though the approval of conscience
Is sweet, I am free to say
That if Tom would give me a hug ami a kiss,
'Twould take all the tired away."
Then she counted over and over
The years she had been Tom's wife,
And thought of the joys and sorrows
She bad known in her married life.
To be sure there wus money plenty,
And never a lack of food ;
But a kiss now and then, and a word of praise,
Would have done her a world of good.
Ah! many a one is longing
For words t hat are never said;
And many a heart goes hungry
For something better than bread;
But Tom had an inspiration,
And when he went home that day
He petted his wife and kissed iter
In the old-time, lover-like way.
And she?such enigmas are women !?
Who held herself up with pride,
At her husband's display of tonduess
Just hung on his neck and cried ;
And he, by her grief reminded
Of troubles he might have shared,
Said: "Bless my heart! What a fool I've been!
And I didn't suppose you eared!"

SNOW TWO MILES DEEP.
"Vm t Viova hppn in a country where the
snow is two miles deep," said F. B. Lazard,
a mining expert from Toombstone, Ariz., at
the Palmer house recently. Mr. Lazard
was in the East during the recent snow-storm,
and was talking about what the people in
Pennsylvania called a blizzard.
"They thought the two-foot fall of snow
was something to talk about," continued the
visitor, "but if they would visit Alaska
about 200 miles up the Yukon river, they
would find snow that for miles is so thick
that the banks almost reach the skies. If
it keeps on accumulating as fast as it has during
the last ten years, scientific men will
not be able to say the earth is round.
"I was in Alaska in the consflake region :
in 1885, and that year the snowfall was quite j
heavy. Snow that falls there remains, for it'
never melts. A prospector named James;
Thomas was with me during that trip, and ;
one beautiful morning he fell from a glazier !
about one hundred feet. The man broke,
l?oth of his legs, one of his arms, and crush-!
ed in several of his ribs, besides being hurt |
internally. He was conscious when I reach- j
ed him, and he told me he knew he was go- j
ing to die. He begged me to see that his j
mother and sister in the East received all |
his property that he had left in Harrisburg. j
I promised, and have fulfilled the trust. I
Just before he died he asked me to pray for !
him, and, for the first time since I knelt be- j
side my mother when a little boy, I got down
on my knees and asked God to receive that i
soul that was about to depart. I prayed as j
I never have prayed since, and I meant all I j
said. There was a smile on poor Thomas's
face when I said 'Amen,' and with a most
peaceful expression on his face he breathed !
his last. I buried him in the snow, and to-1
day if his body could be found I know it i
would look as natural as the moment he'
died?peaceful expression and all.
Mr. Lazard also had some thrilling experiences
with the Apaches. While hiding in |
the chaparral and not daring to move for
fear of his own life, he witnessed atrocities
upon a mother and daughter, the recital of
which explains why army officers prefer to
shoot their wives rather than to let them fall

Two Converts of Sam Jones.?"Bill
Arp" writes as follows on the Rev. Sam
Jones: "He says that once he was preachiug
in a Western town and got wrought up
in his feelings and was going along tender
and pathetic in his appeal to sinners, when
an old man got tip and stretched forth his
hand, and said: 'Brother Jones, Brother
Jones, stop a minute?just a minute. I just
want to shout a little and say, Bless God, I'm
hnnnvnn the wav. Yes. hannv011 the way.'
"Tl'J ? - ,
And he sat down, shaking and sobbing with
joy.
"Sam paused for the affecting scene to
lend its influences to his preachiug, and then
said to the old man : 'Well, my brother, don't
you feel now like you had lost that fifty-odd
years of your life that you spent in sin?"
"The old man rose up again, and said,
"Well, no, Brother Jones, not exactly. I
can't say that. I wasn't as happy as I am
now, but I did have a power of fun.'
"On another occasion, while a revival was
going on, Sam observed an old man in the
congregation who seemed to l>e much affected,
and going to him he asked if he felt i
that his sins were all forgiven. The old man
rubbed his eyes with a red bandana, and j
murmured, 'Not, all, Brother Jones, not all; j
but I think a majority of 'em.' "

The following anecdote of a minor
light of the Irish heneh, though not preeisely
a "bull" pure and simple, belongs, more
or less, to that fertile family. A wife had
suffered untold cruelties at the hands of a
barbarous husband, and in self-defence she ;
"took the law of him but just before the
trial she relented, and told the judge she
wished to leave the punishment and the ease
to (loil. "I regret, my dear woman," replied
the great oilieial, "that we cannot do that ;
the ease is far too important."

side of the ring was engraved: '*11. J. j
Hunt. Worth's Division." It proved to be,
a ring made for the late (Jen. Hunt when in
Mexico at the close of the war with that:
country, and was lost by him during the j

NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO
Right Now Is Ti
THERE is no doubt ofthe fact that no farming i
implement has ever been ottered to the farming
world that has given such universal satisfac-1
tion as the COKBIN DISK HARROW. It is!
used in every State and Territory and is heartily i
and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer j
who has ever used it, and they are numbered by
thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree |
that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most i
profitable implement for cultivating the soil and j
putting in grain yet invented. It increases the J
crops, saves nmo aim saves no no.
The Harrow is made of first-class material
throughout, and with projier care will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay
for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks
are made of the very best of steel, and will neither
break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected
to any appreciable extent by rocks, and
'the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of
land.
| The following are some of the )>oints of supcj
riority imssessed by the Corbin Harrow :
1. ft is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly
flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven
1 surfaces).
2. It is the only I farrow in which the gangs are
I independent of each other?either can lit or fol!
low an inequality without disturbing the other.

; and anti-friction balls.
4. It is the only Harrow that has a successful I

The Harrow With Seeder Attachment.
Kvery Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, isarrauged
so that a Seeder can be attached to it.
The Seal Rox and its machinery are of the most
simple and compact character. All its metal
parts are of malleable or retinal wrought iron.
Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7, 12-disk
Harrow) about eighty pounds.
The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleas
ure. It locks itself tirmly to the Harrow frame
by simply putting it into position. Neither bar,
bolt, wedge, key, screw orpin, is used to fasten
it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
, is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute
j of time will remove and one miuute replace it.
The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
j half sis much sis a Drill, and is a better tool. It
will sow grain us evenly sis any drill, cover it lx?tt
ter, and place it at any depth in the ground. It
i is two complete implements in one. It prepares
I the field in the best possible manuer for seeding
and then sows the crop. It sows KKI) RUST
PROOF OATS capitally.

of the t'orbin Harrow, recommend
i the No. 7 Harrow sis being best sulupted to genj

' disks, lb inches in diameter, and b-foot cut, and

DO YOU
WANT IT?
IT is our purpose to make another change in
our already very liberal offers to club makers,
and we are convinced that the change will meet
with the approval of the friends of The Enquirer.
It is now little a more than one month
until the clubs will close for the present season,
and as an inducement to club makers to put in
some extra good work during that time, we have
decided to otfer a special premium to the person
who returns and pays for the largest number of
subscribers,
EITHER OLD OR NEW.
Between this date, FEBRUARY 4, and MARCH
0, at 1 p. m. The premium we otfer is one
FIVE DRAWER IMPROVEDSINGER8EWING
MACHINE. An accurate description of
the machine will be found in another column, and
the machine is everything that it is represented
to be.
This premium is offered INDEPENDENT of
all other premiums, and if on the 9th of March it
is found that the person who has returned and
paid for the largest number of subscribers between
now and that date, has also returned the
largest number since our prospectus was issued
on the 29th of October, that person will receive,
in addition to the Sewing Machine, the first
premium of ,
$50 IN CASH.
If the person who is entitled to the Machine is
found to have returned and paid for the second
largest list since October 29, that person will, in
addition to the Machine, be entitled to the second
premium of
$30 IN CASH,
And if the person who is entitled to the Machine
is found to have returned and paid for the third
largest list of subscribers since October 29, that
person will, in addition to the machine, receive
the third premium of
$20 IN CASH.
If the person who is found to be entitled to the
special premium shall have returned SIXTY or
more subscribers since October 29, including
those for which he receives this preminm, but
fails to receive either of the cash premiums, he
will be entitled to ANOTHER MACHINE, and
if THIRTY or more to a Machine and a WATCH, ."
It will be seen that club makers run no risk in
working for this extra premium. We are satistied
that there is still room for effective.work
along this line, and wo trust that club makers
will put in the best work of the season during
the next THIRTY DAYS, and we hope that
now workers will enter the field in competition
for this premium, as they will be on an
equal footing with old club makers, and it Is well
worth all the effort that will be necessary to
secure it. Remember that
EITHER OLD OR NEW
Subcribers count just the same in competition for
this snocial ureinium.
