was one custom of the country he

out of It was worth what It cost him.

not supposed to be ‘•square." bo he had
nothing to fear in being cheated, und,
to tell the truth, he was a much bettor
poker player than most of those ^.Ith
whom he played. In fact. It was soon
noticed that If Billy found himself get

very badly till he had lost his win

In far greater volume than his losings.

had come among them to get their

Twenty years ago farniera made fine
oats bv sowing the Ri d Rust I’roof in
the cotton rows-In August or Sep-
ember. Then dame a few cold Winter*
and they were killed and the Unperi-
quit that plan because they had no
luck. Then they tried the Turf and
Grazing oats w hich wjne Lost proof
they were nearly grain proof too, for
the yield was light although the straw
waa good.*-
Then about ten or twelve year* ago
the open furrow system of planting
was tried with success in Georgia. It
is said that there has been no winter
severe enough to kill oats in Georgia
or this State since that plan was adopt
ed.
Some farmet* have raised tine crops
of oats by running the oat drill two or
three tlmos between the cotton row*
Just after the first or second picking
of cotton. In 36 inch rows only two
rows of oats can be put In. If the rows
are 40 to 44 inches thr/e rows may be
run in. Of course that plan does not
admit of any preparation of soil. If
the oats are put hi very early and a-re
quite forward the first of December
Ibey shoulcLbj pastured down. That
plan is better than sowing no oats
The best plan of course I* So select such
land as mav be well broken and har
rowed and the oats planted October 2(1
to December 10. Plant the Appier or
Southern Red to insure a tine yirld of
grain. According to the land plant 6

From this time- the hands held by
Morgan and by Billy were something
remarkable. Billy didn't hold aslarge
cards aa Morgan's, but he played them
with far greater skill. At any rate, he
won back all the indney the stranger
had taken out of hD frleuds. The
stranger, realizing that Billy was a
match for him. Informed the boys that
Rflly was a card sharp and they must
get him out of the game. When they
demurred he declared -that If they
didn't decline to admit Billy and he
caught him cheating he would get rid
of him by shooting him. Till* of course
was reported to Billy, and he waa
urged to arm hlmaelf. Billy n-sponde I
that If he had pointed out the Irregu
larities he liad observed in the utrau
ger's game the air would have rained
lead. That's all he would say alavut
the matter, and, as for wearing a re
volvcr at Ids hip. It was as conspicu
ously absent ns It had always l>ecn.
Well, the thing came to a head lit
this wise; They were all playing In a
room over the store, and the hands
held by both Morgan and Billy were
unequaled by the "heathen Chinee.''
BRly, ns usual, never l>et simply bo
cause he had a big hand, only putting
up his money In large quantities when
he knew be had a better hand. Mor
gan was losing steadily. It didn't seem
to matter how valuable his cards were.
Billy Invariably held lietter ones. Mor
gan’s brow was every moment liecom
lug more clouded, nnd the brows of the
psrty (Billy's oxceptedi were also l>o-
eomtng more troubled. The stranger
wore a revolver at each hip. Billy had
no weapon at either hip. Finally when
Billy hod raked in a jack pot contain
Ing $100 there was u sudden move
ment of a hand of every man present
(Billy excepted) to grasp his revolver.
The occasion of this was that Mor
gan's hand went back for his. and the
others were hoping to head off a move
ment that was undoubtedly intended
for their friend. But both Morgan and
the rest were too late. Before the
stranger could move his weapon Billy
had covered him with a pair of der
ringers.
Tha fa all there Is of the story. Rlfly
had In each slqeve a weapon attached
to one of hIs college contrivances, be
sides a contrivance In each sleeve with
w hich to '-bold cards. He demanded
that the stranger lie searched, and itn
plemenls for card holding were found
upon him. Ills losses were returned
to him, and he was escorted out of
town No Manic was attached to Billy,
who had saved his friends from u cord
sharp. 1 have told the story Just ns I

In a little cottage In Lincolnshire and
in Course of conversation happened to
mention that she had a cold sponge-

"Law, miss," said the old lady, “and
does your mother know?"
’•Yes, certainly, and she quite ap
proves."
“Well.” sai l the old lady. v Ah washes
