J; GEORGE ELMER COBB $ (Copyright, 1915, by W. O. Chapman.) The "magnet city" had attracted Joel llenson with Its bright lights and glowing fascinations, only to cast him away when his little store of money was gone. He was too proud to lot his friends back in the little country village he had left?and for which he Practically He Had Become a Tramp. pocketbook, half a tiny sample receptacle. It lay In a heap of rubbish. He picked It up. "Oh!" The aspiration was marveling, yet ecstatic. As he opened one side of the case there flashed up at him a dozen rare gems, radiant diamonds, - opaline pearls in rich heavy gold settings. Breathlessly Joel opened the | > opposite section, to draw out a folded 5 banknote? One thousand dollars! His fingers tingled. Idke Cinderella touched by the fairy wand, he seemed suddenly to be arrayed in rich raiment, to bo riding in a hand\ some touring car, and on his way to tho most exclusive restaurant in the city, able to rival a nabob, y Then suddenly Joel thrust the tempting case out of sight into an Inside pocket of his ragged coat. He was trembling all over, the cold perspiration stood in icy drops on his forehead. The intense excitement of I the moment made his steps unsteady as he hurried from the spot. "Not mine, so It's no breakfast*" I, ho breathed, a little hysterical catch . In his voice. "What shall I do?" Pj lie was human, he was hungry, he felt that to restore this wealth to its legitimate owner deserved some reft ward, for, ah! how he needed it. He - wandered about all that morning, r thinking?thinking. To give it up to the police would be to deliver up his opulent And and receive not even a "thank you." Half a dozen times he - wandered by Uie alley and lingered o about it, wondered if the owner of [J the case might not show up, which he u finally determined was fanciful and ,, ridiculous. Towards nightfall a thought came j to him. About a week previous, in | his nighthawk wanderings, he was at- I traded by a nig fire, lie had helped l' rescue an ambitious reporter who p had climbed a fire escape. The young man had struck up a speaking acquaintance with Joel. Once he had invited Joel to a cafe supper with '? him. Joel knew where he worked. 0 lie sought him out. "You'll do something for me, I know," he told the scribe. "Find out if the police have any record of a mun knocked down and robh.*l of ? 1 Cured Boy of Croup Nothing frightens a mothe' - .tore than the loud, hoarse cough 1 if croup. Tho labored breath - ing, Strang ing, choking and rasping for breath call for in ?rant action. Mr? T. Nm.-euer, | Kaii Olaire, Wis.Jsays: b'oley'a i Honey and Tar cired my boy of j uvn luugcu aim lilUUl UUU RIIOW Ul his condition. Practically, he had bocome a tramp. Poor clothes shut him out from de cent employment. Poor food began to Bliow its effects. Just off a quiet street, where a paved alley held a broad-topped ash bin, wearied and discouraged, he had stretched out to try and forget hunger In sleep. Once he awoke. It was at the echo of a cry for help. In his sodden slumber, however, he treated It as part of his dream, and never opened his eyes. Early daylight aroused him. No one was astir but himself, it seemed. He yawned, rubbed his eyes and mechanically glanced about him. "Hello!" he ejaculated, and went over to where a man's hat lay. Then he noticed that its top was stove in, and near it was a piece of lead pipe. He shivered and turned to hurry away. The Implication was irresistible: footpadB, the victim slugged, to wander away later on, hatless and dazed. "If the police happened on me they would link me up with the business," meditated Joel, and started briskly to make clear of his suspicious environment. "Hello!" he uttered a second time, and now his eyes snapped eagerly and hope succeeded fear. For a few feet away from the hat lay a Hat, bulky case. It was half w^ll. say a thousand k wfelt, ?ay tome diamond and peart N rings and brooches, will you?" "Hi, now!" hallod the reporter, pricking up hta ears; "that has tho flavor of a scoop." I "If It leads to thai, you'll get t* e first, believe me," pledged Joel. t For two consecutive evenings Joel visited his friend, to learn that no ? such event as that he described had / been reported to the police. j Not for a moment had the thought | of appropriating the money and Jew- ; elry come to Joel's mind. Being honest. he kept his own coynsel, but y. went into a bank one day and deposited the one thousand dollars in his own name. He made a small package E of the Jewelry and tied it in a hand Oierchie*, and secured this by a string o across his chest. That week he got work and earned five dollars, and twice he guardedly advertised his And?no result. Many a time the possession of un- d claimed wealth became a burden, t1 nearly a temptation. Then Joel ac- tl cepted his strange responsibility as a n matter of course. n "When I get a little money ahead, I v will see a lawyer, and learn the hon- n est limit I must go to as a full duty v to Beok to locate the owner of the * money md the Jewelry," he decided. "If he cannot be found, surely I have t some claim in the matter." * Hut Joel did not accumulate the t money necessary to start this plan in P operation. A fall temporarily crippled " one limb. He fell ill and became unfit r for work. Finally he determined to n return homo, a veritable prodigal son. I1 It was better to acknowledge defeat, however, after all lii3 high hopes and o bouts. Besides that, his relatives in * tho home village cared little for him. ^ Joel made his way from the city ^ slowly, painfully. At a town fifty 8 miles on his route he found unexpect- 8 ed comfort and rest. Applying for what light work he could do at a mod- c est little home, the patient-faced, 1' sweet-iiouled mistress pitied his for- t lorn condition. There was some work ' to do about the chicken house and ^ the garden. He might try a week at * it, and meantime he would be wel- t come to a cot in the garret and all 1 the well-cooked food he could eat. t Joel worked with a will, so far as ? his condition would permit. He be- c came acquainted with tho daughter of a widow next door. They were poor, * but respectable. They grew to like > the bright-hearted youna fellow, who > entertained them with stories of a 1 wandering career that showed a deep 1 knowledge of human nature. From 1 them he learned that the Davis peo- * pie, for whom he worked, were under * a spell of trouble. Their son, about { to be married, had lost his position, was forced to find new work. He 1 was, furthermore, under suspicion, 1 and the wedding and his social rehabilitation must wait. "Why! What is this?" exclaimed Mr. Davis one afternoon, as moving a chair on the porch upon which ' hung Joel's coat, a bankbook fell out. "I declare! A great object of charity you've picked up, Nellie?a tramp with a thousand dollars in bank!" J "He's good all through, Just the same," declared Mr. Davis. "A thousand dollars? Husband, I can't understand it?he told me he had no money whatever." "He'll explain, or leave," decided Mr. Davis. And he called Joel. The latter valued his pleasant environ- , ment. He told all his story. To his astonishment Mrs. Davis uttered a shriek and fainted away at the recital. Hut an explanation of the mystery came speedily. It was the son of Mr. Davis who had been robbed in the city. He had gone to see his fiancee, had drawn from the bank his savings t in one large banknote, and had taken from the jewelry establishment where he worked a number of pieces of Jew- j elry from which his lady love might j select a bridal gift. ! s ...v ..wmvmir wii/uico m uacicritt gen- " erally present In moisture are at- B tacked and the dangers of contagion t! are lessoned.

One of the best roads I have ever riven over was just wide enough for . WO vehicles to uass without srranln? tie paint oft each other's hubs. I am ot sure that sometimes tho hubs did | ot touch. But it was a road that I ras always in good condition and tho \ men who kept it up seemed to do so rith comparative ease, writes W. E. lose of Iowa in Farm Progress. Some of the old turnpikes, still our iest roadways, were not a rod in ridth. When these roads were built hey were built for both service and rofit, and in figuring tho future profts the builders saw that the wider the oadway and the wheel track the more maintenance cost and, therefore, the ess profits. It is a pity that the men who laid >ut the first 60-foot and 6G-foot highways hadn't taken a leaf from tho icok of the turnpike builderB. If they tad we would not have millions of cres of land lying worse than idle Jong our public highway right of ways. Say that tho road runs 20 allies from ounty seat to county seat. Along its ength there will bo anywhere from 80 o 120 acres of land growing up in weeds, road grass, brush and thickets where it is not being washed into deep oadside gullies. Why, in some states j hero is a full hnlf million nrroa of and that is being wasted in just hat way and land in these states is telling anywhere from $30 to $li00 in acre! Many of the best and most famous oads of Europo are but 16V6 feet in vidth and they handle some of the rery heaviest highway traffic. Right low in those counties and townships n this country where hard roadB, pernanent highways, are being constructed, few of them are being built more han 18 feet wide and a good many >f them are even narrower. The railroads, wasteful as they are n some things, are beginning to realze the waste of a useless right of way. Within a week young Davis was re- s stored to his old position. Gratitude ( could do no less than find Joel a good t position. As he prospered, love kept ? him stanch to the widow's pretty t daughter, and the wanderer found the j safe anchorage of a cozy, happy home { at last. Enforced Quietude. i "Yape!" said Mr. Hamp Smothers, 'v a prominent resident of the Rumpus f Ridge neighborhood, replying to the 1 Inquiry of the able editor of the r Polkville Clarion. "It was a quiet wed- j 1 ding, though for a spell it looked like t mebby it wasn't going to be. You c see, the bride's mother, a right able t lady weighing nigh on to three hundred pounds, 'peared to sorter object t to the groom, somehow, and got after t him with a soap paddle. Rut a posse 1 of us gents persuaded her to let us s tie her fast In a rocking chair and s tote her out into the timber a piece t whur her remarks wouldn't disturb \ anybody.

This may lause a little trouble at times, but aft>r all is it not a great deal better ( han letting the roadsides grow up in ronweeds, sumacs, briars and thickits? Any of our road vehicles needs no noro than a six-foot clearance. Figire out for yourself how many farm vagons could drive abreast on a 66oot highway and then try to imagne any necessity for any such arangement. On a highway one rod n width there is room for two velicles to pass with about four and >no-half feet to spare. Why have ho roads, then, 66 feet wide? Some of these days our roads will te narrowed. We have not really felt be pinch of a real land need as yet. rVhen we do, then there will be a iudden narrowing of these wido ! tretches that are now weed incuba- j ors and seeders. In tho meanwhilo j ehy not make some use of the soil lanklng tho public highways? Why j mt seed it in grass and mow it as you ! rould a meadow? Of course the land iclongs to the state, to tho public, but t is worse than useless. Why not nake it give some return to someone? Away With Grain Insects.

WKmS WILL BRINGPF Grape is One of Hardiest and 2 Develop Well Without Prop< to Train Vines to Soi Unquestionably, the grape Is one of the surest fruks that can be grown in South Carolina. Practically all the standard varieties will succeed. Nor is the fruit often injured by late frost. In general, it is safe to say that when vines are properly cared for there is almost a certainty of a crop every year. But although the grape will produce some fruit under almost any treatment, yet results that are really worth having cannot be obtained with- out proper care of the vines. The old practice of planting a vine Just anywhere and letting it grow at will is entirely wrong. Under such conditions, vines become thick and fall on the ground, there is a tendency to overproduction of fruit, to small bunches, and inferior berries, and at about tflie time the grapes begin to color up, they begin to rot. As a result, when the irim snouia ne reaay ror use. one-half or two thirds of it is worthless. Besides, vines handled thus are weak and last only a few seasons. Perhaps the worst mistake in grape culture is failure to prune properly. It is very important that the vines be trained to some definite form. The easiest method of training the grape is as follows: t First year: Plant one-year-old vines. 1< As soon as they have been put out. Ii cut them back to three buds, as shown r at (a) in Illustration. Should all three g of these grow, rub one off. leaving the i, strongest two to grow and form the r frame of the vine. During the first f season's growth the young shoots t should he tied to a stake, as shown at ib) in illustration. This is to pro- s duce healthy canes. Should they be j allowed to run on the ground, they will c be weak and more liable to injury. t Second year: A trellis must now 1 be prepared. Set posts 20 feet apart I along each row of grapes. This will 1 give space for two vines between each f two posts. The posts, when set, should 1 show four and one-half feet above the i ground. The end posts should be set 11 at least three feet in the ground and ( well braced to prevent giving when < the vines are stretched. The other ! posts should bp sot at least two feet deep. To the posts sire nailed two i wires on which to train the vines. The , < lower wire is two feet above ground and the upper wire two feet above the i lower. These preparations made, the ! young canes should he taken off the i stakes, one cut off at the height of the first wire and tied, and the other al- . lowed to extend to the top wire, as shown at (c). HOW TO CHOOSE POI DUCTION OF EGI Characteristics of Chickens Tha General Purpose Breeds?Vi Plymouth Rock Most Flreeds of poultry can be conveni- | ently divided into two classes: tl) ,r the egg breeds, and (2) the general 1 purpose breeds. This division is like that of cattle into beef and dairy t types, and of horses into light and heavy classea. In the egg breeds of poultry the j primary requirement is the produc- t tion of a great number of eggs of standard size. The fowls are not ex- I? pected to be prime table specimens. | but tliey must lay throughout the a year, except when they have to rest c and recuperate. They do not sit and i batch chickens and they lay white- I ihelled eggs. The more popular egg t ^ breeds are leghorns, Mlnorcas, An:onas and Camplnee. The most popu- I j lar variety of these breeds Is the Sin- | lie Comb White I^eghorn. j All large egg farms are stocked |e with White L<eghorn pullets and hens, | a because it Is possible to obtain L i breeding stock In this variety that : | bas blood lines of heavy egg produc- | I Jon behind it.

The prunng necessary this year will consist of etnoving all canes except four, one ;olng each way from an old vine on Kith wires. These four canes are comnonly called "arms." They form the rame on which the fruiting canes will le produced. After this year the pruning will conlist of renewing the four "arms" each rear when suitable canea of the pre :edinp season's growth can be found o take their places. If this cannot )C done, all the canes should be out jack to two or three buds. Thee? mds will throw out shoots the next leason on which the fruit will be jorne. It is always best to renew the irms each year if possible. When thie nethod is followed, each vine will proluce from 75 to 100 hunches of grapes iach year, which is enough. (Tne ^ vines are also kept thinned out, so that the sun can strike all portions ind that spraying can be done suc:essfuily. For further information on the ?rape, farmers should write to Sidney 5.
