Now Surf claimed to M a liaiier- man, but bla method of procedure wax not aa laid down by Iaaak Walton, for Steve would bait bla hook, throw It out Into the river, Jab the end of the pole Into the bnnlc and then He down In the ahade and phi Inonnhifce. Steve waa long on phlloaophy and abort on energy. Not that Steve waa lazy men of bla claw are never lazy. But from aome cauae never yet explained, they cannot And the energy to begin work. It takea more energy to begin a tnxk than it doea to com plete It. Steve bad Just enough energy to do tbe work and none to apare in ucgnr nltiff it. Steve lived In a little cabin In a small clearing about a half mile from the river. The nearness of tbe river, not tbe fertility of tbe soil, was the consideration that moved Steve to pitch his habitation where be did. But truth compels the stutemeut that Steve did not do tbe clearing, ile was willing, but he could not muster enough enerirT to belli n the work. So Mrs. Kirk, assisted by ber daughter Mirandy, felled tha natuiw trees and cleared the under brush. Under Steve's able superintendence kind neighbors hud rolled the logs for the cabin, and thus the Kirks nacl a nome. Mrs. Kirk did not live long to enjoy It, for the mlaamic mist that arose In clouds from the river waa more than she could endure, and she was soon asleep In a grave on tbe edge of tbe clearing within sight ol tbe bumble cabin door, aiirauuy tawny haired, aupple and comely Mlrandy-took upon her young shoulders tbe burden laid down by her tired mother, and beenme her father's housekeeper, drudge and com panion. She was only sixteen, but upon the little clearing she raised enough corn for the winter's stock of pone, and potatoes for dessert. Wild plums unil grapes served for sauce, and enough were sold to supply tbe simple wants of herself and father in tbe way of clothes. The bogs that fattened on the nuts in bluffs and the fish that perished in hang ing to tbe book when Steve wound up hi' line to go home furnished tbe supply of meat. If Mirandy ever longed for another sphere of life she kept her longings secret. It is not likely that she had any longings of tbe kind, for she was born In just such a cabin, In just such a clearing, on just such a river, in just such a country. Ami amid these surroundings Mirandy was living out her life of drudgery and igno rance. "Et do appear tub me," said Steve, ns with half closed eyes he watched his cork floating on the placid surface of the slug gish river, "tuot things in this world ain't ekll." This was a common result of Steve's philosophical moods. "Et do seem th' harder I work th' poorer I gets." Steve thought be was a galley slave. That is, had Steve known auythtng about galley slaves he would have thought so So Steve settled back after this bit of characteristic philosophy and dozed again, "Hello!" suddenly called a young man who had appeared on the opposite hank "Is tbe fisbinu good around here?" Steve mustered up enough energy to open his eyea tnu assume a sit ting posture. "Uhr" said he. "I say, is it good flshlug around litief" "I reckon," said Steve, cautiously, "that it air et good round byaresitairenywhnr. Yer kyaut ketch much fish, but It air a good place teg set In ther shade an watch yer cork." Tbe young man laughed and asked if there was a way to cross. "In course there air," said Steve. "II ain't too deep ter wade, an ef yer erf raid cr gettin yer feet wet yer kin cross on the foot log a small spell furder down." "I think I prefer crossing dry shod," said the young man. He went to the foot log and soon appeared by Steve's side, lie was a handsome young fellow, dressed in a hunting suit of corduroy, and carrying silver mounted Hailing roil and a breech loadlng gun. Tbe two men gazed at each other for a moment, the one with a half amused smile on his face, the other with an expression of indolent curiosity. Final ly tbe young man asked. "Do you live neur beref" " 'Bout er half er mile buck," said Steve, jerking Lis liciid In the direction of the cabin. The young man jointed his rod and bait ed his hook, and his float was soon resting in close proximity to Steve's. They fished in silence for a few moments ami then the young man asked: "Rather a poor country to live in, is It notr" "Not fur tbem as kyant get erway," said Steve. "How long have you lived hero?" "Four year." "Why don't you move to a better coun try?" "Kyant, and don't wnnter." "That's a double reason." Then Steve, thinking it was his turn to ask a few questions, sat up and began questioning the stranger. "Wbarairye frumf" "St. Louis." "Watcher doln In these parts?" "Taking my summer outing." "Huh?" "Taking my summer outing, vacation, lay off; see? Tbe word "lay" had a familiar sound to Steve, and be thought he saw. So they fished until the sun was low in the west. Suddenly the young man remembered that he was a stranger iu a strange land, and the matter of a night's lodging catno up in his mind for consideration. Turning to Steve, he asked: "Say, I do not care to sleep in the open air tonight. Can you not give me a bed at your home if I will pay you for the trouble?" "Dunno; yer'll have ter ask Mirandy?" "Who Is Mirandy, your wife?" "Nope; darter. Wife iz dead." "Well, let us go and see Mirandy," and Steve agreeing the two men wound up their lines and trudged through tbe under brush toward the clearing. Mirandy waa sitting in the cabin door when the two men appeared at tbe edge of tbe clearing, and at the sight of the young man she hastily covered her bare feet with ber tattered dress and smoothed the tawny hair that fell in tangled masses about ber (boulders. A ruddy glow burned in her nn browned cheeks as tbe young stranger doffed bia bat and bowed with the grace of a Chesterfield. It was tbe first time a man bad ever lifted bis bat to her. "This young feller wants ter stay hyar all night," said Steve, "an I told him be d bafter ask yon erbout et." "I we we ain't got much, mister," stammered Mirandy, "an I we" "I assure yon anything is preferable to deeping in tbe open air," aaid tbe young man with another bow. "Well, if yer can sleep with pap an put np with what we una do, I guesa yer kin tay." Tbe frugal inpper of corn pone, bacon nd black coffee waa soon ready and quick ly disposed of by the three. Tbey sat in front of tbe cabin by the starlight and watched the slowly rising river mist until time to retire. Sieve tUpt tbe sleep of those who loll, but sleep forsook tbe eye of Mirandy ami the young man. The former's thoughts were far different from the latter's. When morning had come the young man's mind was made up. As the three were eating breakfast he said; "I would like to remain hero a week or two, and If you will allow me to board with you during that time I will pay you well. My name Is Arthur Jones, and I am in business in St. Louis." j "It air jest as Mirandy say,"wasnievc reply. "If pap's wlllln I air," said Mirandy. And thus It was agreed that Jones should remain. At first tbe young man's rod and gun furnished welcome additions to the scant larder, hut ere many duya hud passed his rod and gun were forsaken, and be found plenty of excuses to remain neur the cabin while Steve, unsuspecting Steve, was doz lug by the river's aid. His soft voice found a ready listener in Mirandy, and his stories of city life were revelations to the Ignorant girl. He told of the opera, of balls, of silks and satins, and awoke in the unsuspecting girl's heart a longing to see and participate In the gay scenes. "Why don't you leave this Godforsaken country and go to St. I-oulx?" asked Jones one afternoon. "Your ruddy beauty would astonish our pale city liellea." "What would er Ignerent country girl like me do In St. Ixwey?" "You need not long remain Ignorant. Besides your lieauty would cover your ignorance. Just as It covers a multitude of sins possessed by society belles." And thus the web was woven about the girl. The two weeks lengthened into six. and still the young man remained. One morning Steve started for the river. A; he disanneared In the underbrush the young man turned to Mirandy and snld: "Now Is our time." When evening came Steve strolled homo from the river, but Mirandy wus nowhere to he seen. Steve wondered at this. And when he stepped into the descried cabin his wonder grew, lie looked tor tne stranger s rou and gun. They were gone. Ile looked for Mirandy's Sunday dress. It, too, was gone. And then across nteve s smggisii mind stole the awful trial). When its full realization dawned upon him it changed his whole being. I lie dull eyes brightened and the stooped shoulders straightened. His face, so long dull, changed to a look of dogged determination. Then he took from the wall the old fashioned revolver that he had carried with Marmaduke, and after carefully loading it he put it in his pocket and started blindly through the under brush, walking with long and rnpid strides. He turned his course toward northeast, for he knew that ninny miles uwuy In that direction was the great city to which his child hud been lured. No thought of fatigue or hardship entered his mind. Dis tance was no object. His whole thought was on Mirandy and the villain who hud stolen her from him. No one ever knew how Steve reached St. Iouis, but resell It be did afler nights of fatigue and hunger. His clothes hung in rugs about his gaunt form; his shoes hnd fallen from hh feet and left them to be torn and bruised by the thorns and stones that beset his patch. Steve knew nothing of police, so he did not nsk theh' alii ill Ills search. For weeks he tramped the streets. Day and night he wandered, eating crusts and sleeping on t lie wharves when he ate and slept, at nil. The chilling blasts pierced his rugs, but he minded them not. One night bis feet strayed dewn one of the great residence streets of the city. In front of one of the handsome residences an awning was stretched from door to curb, and on the pavement a motley crowd was gathered. Sieve stopped, prompted by he knew not what, unil us he gazed a car riage drove up and a man in livery opened its door. From the carriage stepped a form that seemed familiar. It wus followed by that of a young lady dressed ns a bride, nnd nrm in arm I lie two stinted across the pavement, bicvt stepped uoaci', uuu his eyes recognized the smiling young man as Jones. With a cry like a wounded panther Steve sprang through the crowd and con fronted tbe bridal couple, the groom's face became an ashen gray and the bride shrieked faintly as they gazed on the hag gard face and tattered form of the in truder. "Whar's my Mirandy?" "I know nothing of you or Mirandy," said the young man. You llul 1 ou stole her from me, nn I want 'er hackl" "I tell you I know nothing of her. Sli" fol lowed me to Ht, Louis, and when she found I would have nothing to do with her she went to the bud. She is u" There wus a Hash and it loud report. Then came the dull sound of a body fall ing, and all was excitement. Steve stole away undetected and hurried toward the river. As he ran he heard a voice. "Pupl" Turning he beheld his Mirandy. She had seen the shot fired time killed her be trayer nnd had followed her father. "Pupl" "Mirandy I" And the two were locked in each others arms, Mirnndy with haggard fnce, di sheveled hair and scanty raiment; Steve with fiery eyes, gaunt form anil tattered clothes. Was not she his daughter ills only child In spite of all?" "Take me home, pupl" Seizing her band Steve turned his face toward the southwest. Steve still sits by the river-Will M.

What a Young Farmer Who Allows No One to Lead Him Very Long In Any thing Pertaining to Klrat-ClM.a fann ing Doea In Such a Case. A correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman writes: "A dairyman who it using a icparator said one of his neighbors be lieved ha could obtain equally as good results from the old method, providing his milk stood long enough to become sour. He may have had some misgiv ings, however, for ho brought to the first dairyman who owns a Bubcock milk tester a sample of his skim milk. He took a sample of his milk that had been run through the separator, in wljich he found practically not a traceof fnt, while liis neighbor's tested fully 1 per cent. 'Whew I' he said, 'how much am I los ing at that rate?' ' How many pounds of milk do you have duily?' 'About 700 pounds.' ' men you are iimiiik seven pounds adayormore.' lie did not stand around long to 'talk politics,' but was seen taking rapid strides toward home. The last heard from him ho was solilo ;,!., oftnr this manner: 1 Now. voting man, I want to know what you are going to do? Here you are losing aliout seven pounds of butter a day. x on Know very well you cannot afford such a big leak as that; but then a separator costs money, and times are awfully close this spring and we must curtail expenses wherever we ran. Yes, I know; but just look at it; seven pounds a day; 210 pounds a month at 20 cents, 42. How many months will it take to lose enough to buy a separator?' Just then the horn blew for dinner, and the next news we hear from him bis neighbor is summoned appear at 5 A. m. sharp with a Babcock tester to test his entire herd. Those who know this young farmer best have no fears of his ' going daft,' for he allows no one to lead him very long in anything pertaining to first-class funning." Feather-Kitting a Habit. Experience teaches me that feather eating is merely a habit into which fowls get when eating soft food. The fowls get the food on their bills, tlirow ineir heads to clean their bills, and thus get the food on their Wtliors. Fowls pick at everything that looks like eatables; so when they have cleaned their platter they clean one another's feathers, and as there is more food on their heads than elsewhere, they pick there for the food nnd thus pick the feathers. I bought some eggs of a neighbor whose hens picked feathers so badly that their hciuli and necks were bare and often bleeding. This neighbor nlwavs feeds soft food once a day. I attributed the feather eating to the soft food clinging to theii feathers, and set the eggs regardless of consequences. I had a line lot of clucks. ti .. :.. ,.,.- W' hail nlentv of wheat at that time, and I gave the , . , : (I... fftil son loou a rent lor mx iuuumib only grain. There was no fenther-enting going on among those hens. Willi the first mess of solt food I gave them began tho habit of feather-eating, and it was kept up until I left ofT feeding Boft food hnd fed grain. This hist winter I fed grain to my hens. There was no feather eating among them. This spring I fed soft food, and they went to eating feath ers. The hens I have now are Brown Leghorns. Those formerly kept were mostly the Black Spanish. I never liavi any trouble with feather-eating except when feedinjr soft food. The continual feeding of soft food makes feather-eating habit a strong one, and I have found only the one remedy, that of feeding hard food. New York Tribune. 1 he Cabbage Worm. For the hateful cabbage worms, of which there are three kinds, each worse than the other, many methods of treat ment have been recommended. One is to dissolve saltpeter in water and spi in kle the solution on the plants. Another is to scatter bran or fine middlings on the leaves. This has the merit of being effective in wet or damp weather, as the worms are covered by the Bticky ; aste nnd made helpless. Another remedy is to sprinklo insect powder on the worms, and a dill'erent kind of powder is the so called "slug shot." Pry coal ashes are also recommended, as well as plaster made odorous by carbolic acid. Other victims of its ravenous appetite for the tenderest kinds of cabbages and cauli flowers especially think the most ell'ect ive trentmentisto pick them oil' by hand. Sometimes all ways are best, but hero is the lint of methods to choosn from. It helps to catch the butterllies with a small hand net on a handle four feet long, for every maturo insect caught makes a hundred worms less to fight. For a small garden for family use only it will pay to cut up a web of mosquito net into squares largo enough to cover a plant and use these ns protection, leav ing a few plants unprotected on which the butterllies may lay their eggs, and the voting worms may be killed whole sale" by 1'aris green.

In the lust live days of thu search Austin creek had dwindled from thetiirgld yellow hankfiil torrent that caused the dis aster to the pretty crystal trout stream so well known to anglers and summer tillers, It could be forded almost anywhere by a mau eiiuiiiped with thigh high gum boo! or wailing stockings, and thu water was so clear that the bottom was visible even In pools of four or llvu fuet deep. Under these conditions the searchers ex ploud the stream so thoroughly that the dead mini's brother finally announced that he would abandon the hunt after one more dar. Early the following morning an old Span iard appeared at Liusnilero uud ny signs In duced some of the searchers and railroad bund to accompany him to the scene of thedisnstvr. He could not speak intelli gible) English, and it was more curiosity over what they considered foolish mum mery than any idea of a favorable result that thu searchers accompanied him. The old fellow's only equipment for searching consisted of a lew ordinary tallow candles and a couple of shingles. When, after considerable difficulty, the Spaniard had succeeded in having the men point out to him the exact spot where thu engine had rested iu the beil of the stream after its fatal plunge, he lighted one of his candles, fastened It upright to a shingle with a few drops of its hot grease and set it afloat just where the floor of the cab had spilled Its Inmates, The shingle wus not well ballasted and came to grief almost Im mediately. The old fellow prepared a second float with greater care and this time made the sign of the cross with the candle before lighting it. Shingle No. ii was launched just as the first one hud beeii and went duueiug down the ripples without mishap. Led by the Spaniard, the searchers followed along the bank, most of them so impressed by the old man's earnestness ns to frown into silence one or two who were inclined to lniiiih at the nt range proceeding. Past the famousulil Uoheniiuu club camp ground, SOU or 30 yards below, the flicker ing light sailed ou its frail raft, avoiding should and ridles anil snags as though steered by an unseen hitnil. Half as much mine distance down the stream was trav ersed, and at a bend when) the torrent had piled up a long, wide bed of sand and coarsu gravel in front of a sunken log or bowlder came the denouement. The water over this bar was scarcely half a foot In depth and appeared to possess nearly as much movement as the current iu the main channel. But, strange to say, the shingle came to a standstill. It turned iirouud two or three times lazily, as though. In 1111 eddy, and without making any farther progress down stream drifted slowly to t lie pebbly beach and stranded. Attention was about equally divided be tween the shingle flouted caudle and the old Spaniard. The latter gave a satisfied grunt, uud signing to the searcher to dig under the shingle gravely squatted ou the bank and begun rolliugacixurette of brown paper and granulated tobacco. Two shovels were plunged into the grav el without, a word of argument, and in a few seconds a hole had been excavated to the depth of 18 or-20 inches. Water flowed in immediately, so discolored by the dis turbed earth that the eye could not pene trate it, hut the sliovelers could feel if they could not see, and one of them, with a frightened look on his face, withdrew his blade, exclaiming, "By George, boys, he's here!" A dozen willing hands joined iu the un covering after a hand exploration had re sulted iu the discovery of clothing at the bottom of the hole The gravel was so firmly packed that extracting the body was a mutter of considerable difficulty, but when it wus dually drawn out on the beach there was no dilliculty iu recognizing the well known features of Sabine. Examina tion disclosed that he hud probably re ceived a death wound when the engine went down, and sinking .immediately had drifted along the bottom until he lodged on the rapidly forming bur. Everybody turned to the old Spnuiord with eager questions, hut he could not or would not speak English enough to give any explanation of himself or his work, al though at the hour when the train left he was regarded ns a worker of miracles. Tho railroad men, who brought the story to the city by the last boat, did not witness the performance, hut describe it as told to them by the wide eyed witnesses they met at Cazadcro dining their lunch hour. Sabine's body was brought to Sun Kafael for interment. Sun Francisco Examiner. The Ctrl at College. Dress in a woman's college is a matter of much slighter moment than it is popularly supposed to be. The last thing a girl who Is in earnest about her education cares for is her gowns, if only they are comfortable and suitable. One girl known to the writer went through an entire college course of four years with four new gowns, and she waa well dressed all the time. The ex penses of Iltting up one's quarters are not so much for a woman as for a man, sup posing It to be done at all iu the latter's case. Tbe "knowing how," which is char acteristic of a woman's Augers, is better than a great many dollars In a man's purse. The daintiest study parlors the writer has ever seen were two furnished with the most obvious articles of need by the col lege, and decorated at an additional ex pense of twenty-six dollars for the two by the girls who hud taken them for the year. There Is 110 point of expense in which the woman student has not the advantage of the man student. Xo matter how littlehe :nn live on, she call live on less.
