fjwntorou; Jjepartmrut. On His Return. This is the latest darky wheeze, according: to "Jimmie" Allison, who met a bunch from Kentucky the other night. "Down near Lexington," said Allison, "there is a haunted house. Naturally, the owner wanted to take the curse ofr his property, so one Sunday he hired old Sam, an enlightened negro, to sleep in the place that night. 'You know and I know there is no such thing as a ha'nt, Sam,' said he, 'and If there were they can't do anything on o<i I'll liiat lpflvp vau locked in with a quart of whisky, and Monday morning I'll come for you with a wagon and give you $5.' "So Sam was locked in. On Monday morning the owner appeared with the wagon, but no Sam was to be found. There was a window missing from the house, though?sash and all. He followed Sam's trail through a little wood, by the saplings that had been bent down, and finally he reached the edge of the swamp. 'That fool nigger,' said he, 'will get mired down there, if he don't look out. I'll come back this afternoon and get him.' "But that afternoon he couldn't find Sam. Time went on, until he became seriously alarmed about the old fellow. On Thursday morning he got on his mule and took his hound dogs and started out to trail the runaway. About 4 o'clock In the afternoon of Thursday he found the old chap, completely exhausted. He was just able to drag a leg. "What's the matter with you, you fool nigger?' he demanded. 'Here you go and bust out of my house Sunday night, destroying a good rnmniptplv. And here I find you out in the swamp. Where have you been all this time?' " 'Laws Marse Bob,' said the negro. 'I been com In' back- since Tuesday night.' "?Cincinnati Times Star. Playing a Witness. Two famous cross-examiners at the Irish bar, says Francis L. Wellman in "The Art of Cross Examination," were Sergeant Sullivan, afterward master of the rolls in Ireland, and Sergeant Armstrong. Barry O'Brien in his "Life of Lord Russell" describes their methods with perjured witnesses. "Sullivan," he says, "approached the witness quite in a friendly way, seemed to be an impartial inquirer seeking information, looked surprised at what the witness said, appeared even grateful for the additional light thrown on the case. " 'Ah, indeed f Well, as you have said so much perhaps you can help us a little further. Well, really, my lord, this is a very intelligent man.' "So playing the witness with caution and skill, drawing him stealthily on, keeping him completely in the dark about the real point of attack, the 'little sergeant* waited until the man was In the meshes and then flew at him and shook him as a terrier would a rat. "The big sergeant (Armstrong) had more humor and more power, but less dexterity and resource. His great weapon was ridicule. He laughed at the witness and made everybody else laugh. Tne witness got luiiiuwu uhu lost his temper, and then Armstrong pounded him like a champion in the ring." Ready For Developments.?They were cast away on a desert island, escaping from the sinking ship with their lives and little else. "Tomorrow," said the man, "will be Sunday." The woman sighed as she put up her luxuriant hair. Then she stared at her frock and her battered shoes. "George," she said to the man, "I want your help. Show me the things that have been washed up from the wreck." He led her to the little heap of wreckage and she gazed at it meditatively. Then she went to work. She picked up a waste basket from the captain's cabin, encircled it with the rim of a saucepan and trimmed it with six feathers from the cook's duster. Then she hung a square of hammock netting over it and garnished one side with a binnacle lamp reflector and a bit of knotted rope. Carefully balancing this masterpiece, she lowered it over her head and let it rest on her ears. Then she smiled. "Then let it be Sunday," she said.? Cleveland Plain Dealer. Let Him Stay as He Was.?A well known veterinary surgeon of Leniberg, Austria, was recently called to the telepnone, when this conversation followed: "Hello! Is this Dr. N.?" "Yes. What do you wish?" "My horse is standing stock stiM on his hind legs, with his forefeet in the air, and nothing can make him come down on all-fours. Did you ever hear of such a queer case: wn&l snau i do about it?" "The case is extraordinary." replied the astonished doctor. "I can give no opinion without seeing the animal. Where do you live?" "Carl-Ludwig strasse." "And your name?" "Sobieski." Here the doctor rang off and swore softly at the wag who had fooled him. The horse in question was the bronze animal which upholds upon its back the fine equestrian statue of John Sobieski, king of Poland, which ornaments the Carl-Ludwig street in Lemberg. Deserved Compensation. ? "Booth Tarkington is very difficult to please in matters theatrical." said a famous Philadelphia novelist. "Tarkington was visiting me here during the run of one of his own plays, and after dinner one evening we sauntered to the theatre, but the doorkeeper did not know us and for some little time refused to let us In. Finally, though. Tarkington's identity was established, and we were conducted to a stage box. "The performance wasn't up to much. Tarkington fidgeted in his chair and at the end of the first act he suggested that we go. On our way out I saw my illustrious friend peering anxiously about the lobby. "'What are you looking for?' 1 said. " 'I'm looking." said Tarkington. "for that chap who wouldn't let us in. I want to give him a quarter.*"?New Vorlr Pi'P?;k A Sure Sign.?That levity is a subject that is sometimes worth while avoiding has been learned to the sorrow of a would-be undertaker. At a recent examination of the State Cndertaklng board among the questions asked of the many applicants, was the following one: "What do you consider as an Infallible sign of death?" "Crepe on the door?" answered one. ?Chicago Journal. farm and fires.dc. Selection of Breeding Stock. The following carefully prepared article on an important subject is by Prof. D. O. Nourse, associate professor of animal industry at Clemson college: We all know that in every litter of pigs, if that litter contains an average number or more, that at least one of these pigs will almost surely be of small size and very likely of poor qualities. It is very evident that such a pig should not be used as a breeder, but why not go much farther than this and select only the very best to be the mothers of future generations of all domestic animals, and this selection should not only include questions of size, but others as follows: First, poor feeders and producers. How many farmers know just how much milk or butter their cows give each year? They may possibly be able to give a fair guess as to the amount of milk, but almost never do they know anything about the amount of butter they are capable of making, unless they have but one cow and therefore churn the cream from that individual alone. A cow capable of making only 150 pounds of butter each year is of no value in a dairy, for the butter could be bought for the value of her feed, but if that same cow could make 300 | pounds of butter, she would then be a valuable animal both as a butter producer and as a breeder. Again, we want to be careful to keep only the good breeders. We all know that many of the animals we possess are shy breeders, as seen by the small litters of pigs, or the small number of lambs in a flock, etc. If we keep the small pigs from such litters or lambs from such flocks, we shall increase this difficulty, for all future generations are likely to have this fault to a still greater degree. In like manner, let us use males that are in fujl vigor, not the very young or old, for wnne meir young may ne goon and profitable animals, yet we should thereby reduce the chances of getting the most desirable. Yet another item to keep in mind Is to use as breeders the normal animals, those that have no peculiarities that should not be expected In that breed, for even if they are not objectionable in themselves, they show a tendency toward abnormal development and in future generations we should expect other qualities might appear and the breeding become very unreliable. To sum up, select for breeding the animals that are normal of the breed, neither too large nor too small and with the qualities of that particular breed strongly developed. Animals that are old enough but not too old to be In full vigor. Those that have proven their powers to produce well, as the cow in giving milk or butter, the hog in producing pork, the sheep for wool and mutton. Good feeders. If they cannot consume and digest a large amount of food, we cannot get a large return in products, hence such must be chosen. Discard any with undesirable qualities, of whatever nature. Some uniformity of color is desirable, not because it is essential, but it is easy to attain, and herds and flocks that are similar In this respect are a pleasure to the breeder. Tree Dentistry. Today one frequently hears the question, "what is tree surgery?" In so far as it applies to the cement work alone, a good answer would be that it is the practical application of dentistry to trees. But this answer, says C. H. Easton, in the New York American, would not cover the other branches of the profession, consisting of trimming, chaining, spraying and fertilization. It is, in fact an advanced development of arboriculture. The tree surgeon is a product of modern conditions. In earlier days, when the country was covered with forests, there was no thought of him. This comparatively new profession has come as a direct result of the agitation of the forest problem in our country. Many broadminded lumbermen, and others directing the myriad industries requiring wood for their existence, have been led to support the policy of the government relative to immense natural timber reserves in order that the timber supply may be perpetuated. Trees of Great Value. This agitation has turned the attention of the people toward trees in general, and has aroused in owners of large estates a keen interest in the individual tree. Both fruit and shade trees are valued now as never before. The fact has become generally known that by the skillful methods of the competent tree surgeon it is possible to give a new lease of life to trees which, apparently, had reached their limit of existence. Of the many branches embraced in this work, the cement filling form by far the - largest and most important part. The practice of filling cavities with cement has long been in use, but when carried out along the usual lines it only served to add to the original trouble. The method of sealing *?* t Wu oont Ltit ointtil\* in_ creased the decay. Many examples may he seen where the hark at the side of the cavity was covered by the cement, no regard having been paid to drainage or the subsequent healing of the wound. As the cement did not adhere to the wood and the swaying of the tree by the wind often enlarged the Vraek between the wood and the filling, water penetrated behind the cement, and decay went on even more rapidly than before. Filling a Cavity. The first step in the preparing of a cavity for cement consists in the thorough removal of all diseased or decayed tissue, no matter how large a wound it may leave. The fresh surface must then be sterilized with an antiseptic solution, and then coated with coal tar. It is imperative that a sterilized solution lie used, as otherwise the parasite producing the decay may not he entirely destroyed, and rot may continue after the cement has been filled in. One pound of copper sulphate to four gallons of water is the best wash for this purpose, and is easily prepared. It must be noted here that the cells forming the heartwood in most of our trees do not serve in carrying sap to the crown or top. The flow of water and earthly constituents from the feeding roots to the crown takes place through the sa- wood, or living layers of tree, and the bark. The tree grows in girth by the deposit of a thin layer of new wood between the wood and bark. There are three layers in this coat, the middle one being composed of thin forming tissues known as the cambium. The inner side of this layer forms new wood, the outer new bark. Active Section of Tree. S It is this new layer and the layers of the four or five previous years, which are known as the sapwood, and ii form the active section of the trunk n and branches. The cells of these in- e ner rings are gradually covered by the A yearly deposit of new growth, and from a living sapwood become heartwood, tl which is dead, and serves merely as a g strong framework for the living parts of the tree and as storehouse for ex- h cess material. Ii This is the reason why hollow trees C may often be found in a nourishing s condition when the heartwood may C have entirely disappeared. However, Ia landscape tree in this condition, de- o prived of the shelter of its fellows, is in grave danger, for a high wind or It heavy snowfall may find it an easy 1 victim. m In cavity treatment, by far the most v important work lies in the cutting of o the watersheds, which prevent the en- G trance of moisture. This work must be done by skilled workmen, as no two n cavities present the same problem, and L the workman must be able to bring 1 his experience derived from long prac- r tice, to bear upon the treatment of o eacn fast?. ? Wounds Easily Healed. o In the case of exceptionally large g cavities the opening is covered by large strips of zinc. The cement is F then forced down Into every crevice 3 and allowed to set, after which the S zinc is removed and a coat of fine fin- a ishing cement put on and painted the P color of the bark. By this method the tree surgeon is w enabled to build out trees where fully h half the wood may have been destroyed by lightning or from some other M cause. rl This treatment serves as a fine example of the healing powers of na- ? ture, for it is remarkable how quickly p these wounds heal when protected fl from moisture and future decay by a the cement filling insured by the wa- P tersheds. o The former method of placing an ? iron band around a tree to prevent splitting often caused death, or, at ^ least, deformity, for as the trunk or c] branch grew in circumference the J' structure of the band cut off the flow r) of sap, depriving the top of nourishment. The improved method consists ei In placing bolts directly through the ,r limbs and securing them on one end s| by washers and nuts, while on the oth- a er a hook is formed, over which a chain is placed. This serves as a stay, ? enough play being given in the chain t< to allow the crown sufficient swing or sway. ^ V ' * B TRYING FOR THE PRIZES.

Ir "Then there were the so-called " imaginative tales of haunted houses, p| demented women who carved their H husbands and families Into bits and u stories of nurses and keepers who had tj frightful experiences with lunatics f, who were trying to escape from asy- b lums.

Second: Will it make any difference if my brother does the typewriting? "For once the editor's sense of humor got the better of his manners, and he replied: It won't make any difference to us, but will probably make a lot of difference to brother. "Although it had been plainly stipulated that 110 stories over 5,000 words would be considered, a doctor in Colorado (why do so many doctors, lawyers and clergymen try to write fiction?) sent in seven novels, badly written but beautifully typewritten, not one of which was less than 180,000 words in length. "Not only did novels come to this short story contest, but poems galore, in every known and unknown variety of meter. And plays were offered in profusion, one of which began: 'Scene: A winter day in January." "Just before the date of closing a telegram from Toronto came to the editors.

Among the many horses ridden durng the civil war by Stonewall Jackson, ccordlng to the Bulletin of the Soclty for the Prevention of Cruelty to inimals, his favorite was a charger ffectlonately named Little Sorrel by he Second Corps of the Army of Virinla. The horse was about fifteen hands In eight and strongly resembled, except i color. President Zachary Taylor's fid Whitey of the Mexican war. Jackon rode him at Bull Run, Winchester. !edar Mountain, Manassas, Antletam. larper's Ferry, Fredericksburg, and n many other battlefields. He mounted Little Sorrel for the ist time at Chancellorsvllle, May 2, 863, and in the battle was mortally rounded by his own men and died a reek later. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson f Maryland, In a letter to Gen. James [rant Wilson remarks: "Jackson was an ungainly horsenan, and when he rode by the troops Jttle Sorrel would strike off on a run. "he general would pull off his cap and Ide bareheaded at full speed past miles f shouting Confederates. The saying ras, when you heard that yell before r behind you on the march, 'There oes old Jack on rabbit'!" Little Sorrel died at the Soldiers' lome near Richmond, at the age of 6 years, and Is now to be seen, like herldan's Winchester, carefully preerved in a glass case, after being preared by a taxidermist, at Lexington, 'a. Before the battle of Antletam Stonewall Jackson was stunned by the rearig and falling back of a large gray lare which had been presented to lm by an enthusiastic admirer and as compelled for a short period to ide in an ambulance. When the engagement began he gain muurueu me uay mare, ana sne ppears to have behaved in a satisfacary manner, for during a lull in the ghting the general was found under n apple tree, with one leg over the ummel of his saddle, eating apples.

Wade Hampton's four chargrs were ail stallions, his favorite belg Beauregard, a magnificent chestut sorrel of great boldness and spirit, ixteen and a half hands in height, nd as the South Carolinian believed, le grandest horse in the southern arlies. But a few months before the eneral's death in April, 1902, he wrote ) General Wilson: "Beauregard was wounded at Getfsburg at the same time that I was. /hen I was taken to the hospital eauregard, after being unsaddled, illowed me there, lay down outside nd died within an hour." Hampton was much interested in a milar touching incident of an Engsh colonel's declining years, which le writer communicated to him. His ivorite charger, which had borne him trough several campaigns In India, nd whose stanchness had on one ocision saved his life in a desperate enjunter with Sikhs, had been pensionI and enjoyed many years of idleess. One morning he broke away from Is head and heel ropes, ran up to the indow of the bungalow at Hauser, here Colonel Skinner was seated, eighed loudly and dropped dead, as luch as to say: "My end is near; I ave come to take a last farewell." Two of the general's thoroughbreds ere killed during the civil war and hen his house in Columbia was deroyed by fire in May, 1899, his own nd his ancestors' swords were saved, ut unfortunately his saddle was lost, hich he had used on Beauregard and is other horses in the war. Twenty thousand people were presnt at Hampton's funeral at Columia, including many survivors of the lampton Legion, carrying their orlgrnl Confederate flags; also the flag sed- by the general's grandfather In le Revolutionary war. In the same ity a noble equestrian statue of lampton seated on Beauregard was nvelled in November, 1906. While the general was a member of le United States senate he said to a lend In Washington: "I rode the lack stallion at the first Bull Run attle, where I commanded the Hamp>n Legion, composed of cavalry, inintry and artillery.
