THE ORE SON SCOUT JONES A CHANCEY, - Publishers UNION OREGON. ROMANCE AND REALITY Mr. and Sir. IlUUxer McSwnt'i Ill-Fnted , Wedding Journey. I Tho sun novor shone upon a lovolior morning than that which ushered in tho wedding day of Bllllgor McSwat and Lobollii Grubb. Far away in tho dreamy distance stretched a landscape that seemed to vibrato in tho mollow hazo of tho gold oil October day as if tho unseen spirits that inhabit tho air ore beat ing it with fairy wings in tho irrepres sible oxubcranco of ovcrllowing lifo and joy. , Copyright All rights reserved. ' liilligcr and Lobelia McSwat had Just started on their wedding journey. Animated by tho sincere and laudable purpose of affording no indication in their manner, apparel, or behavior Jhat they were taking such a trip Uilllgor woro a suit of now black broad cloth, with a lavender necktie, and Lobelia was attired in a silk dress of a delicate liloo tint, with no conspicuous ornaments except a largo solitaire ring on one of tho fingers of her left hand nnd a few orange blossoms modestly nnd becomingly arranged in her Par isian traveling hat. They sat on tho luxurious cushion of a palaoo car, Bllli por's arm resting carolcssly on tho Lack of tho seat occupied by his lovely brido, and Lobelia leaning toward liilligcr in tho easy, tender, confiding manner of a mother in Israol going with her aged companion to an Old Settlers' meeting, or tho Secretary of a Young Lady Society for tho Dissemin ation of Useful Knowledge accompany ing an elder brother on a shopping ex pedition. 'Bllllgor," faltered tho brido, turn ing her beautiful eyes trustingly to his, "nobody would suspect that wo aro that wo havo just been that wo aro on our do you think?" "Certainly not, Lobolia," affirmed Uilllgor, with great posltivoness, as he smiled fondly and reassuringly upon her. 'Thoy think wo aro brother and sis ter, Bllllgor, or at least that wo aro old marrlod." "Chestnuts!" exclaimed a voice. Tho young husband turned fiercely around to seo who had spoken. It was tho train-boy, an iuuocont lad of seventeen summors, on whoso face was a look of such chlld-liko simplicity that Hllliger's hasty suspicions woro at onco allayed. "Lobelia, my lovo," ho said, ten derly, "would you llko some chest nuts?" "If you llko, doar,," she replied, trustingly. Bllllgor put his hand into his pocket. Then ho put his other hand into his other pocket, and his face turned an ashen gray. "Lobelia!" ho said, hoarsoly. "I I havo left my pocket-book, with my money and tickets, in my other pa In way other trousers! Havo you any money with you' Quick! Hero comes tho conductor!" "I think 1 havo, Bllllgor," said Lo bolia. Sho put her hand in hor pockot nnd turned pale. "Uilllgor," sho exclaimed plteously, "I havo loft my pockot-book in my other dross!" Tho station at which tho train stopped was only sovon miles from homo. Uilllgor and Lobolia McSwat got out, tho ecstatic bridegroom por uuodod a grasping, sordid monopolist who kept a livery stable to accept his gold watch as security for tho hire of a carrlago and driver, and Mr. and Mrs. McSwat drovo homo in pensive sllonco through tho balmy autumnal laud Bcnpo, which tho mellow rays of tho golden October sun bathed in a sea of molten glory. H tho story of tho first day of Bllll gcr and Lobelia's wedding journey hall servo as a warning to others it will not havo boon written by tho sor rowing historian in vain. Chicago 2'ribuuc.

In this homo of tho departed are two graves, side by side, which resting places contain tho dust of ouu of the world's greatest poets. William Cullon Uryant, and of his faithful companion In lifo. Tho site of this last routing place of tho dead was selected by tho poot-odltor who now sloops within Its confines, and who at tho time uttered a wishgranted a half century later in tho following words: "I Kuxml UKn tho Klorloiu iky And Uiu Krren mountulit round, And thought th lit, whuu I cumo to Us At rvkt within tho Knmiul, Tweru pleasant, that In tin w cry Juno, When brook hciuI un u cheerful tuue And grove n Joyous koutul, Tlio ioxton'ihaud, my uruvn to make, Tho rich union mountain turf hould break." It was Bryant that also gave tho nuino to tho picturesque village which for ho many years was his homo. In 18 10, whuu ho went there, ho learned that when tho British left Long Island thoy inarched out of Hempstead to tho tuno of "Koslyn Castle," and accord ingly gave tho uainu of Uoslyu to tho pi i wo which was then only a hamlet.

According to Dr. Cornet, Tuberculosis is nine times more frequent among nur ses than among any other class of per sons. As soon as the peach and pear crop is off cultivate among the trees to kill out the grass and weeds, in order to save la bor next season. Next month lawn grass seed may be sown for the spring crop of lawn grass. Spado the ground well and rake the seed in, but cover very lightly. Ab plants vary in their desire for foods it is not impossible for a piece of ground to fail in tho production of certain kinds of crops and yield largely of others, owing to the composition of the soil and tho plant food contained therein. Chili Sauce. Take six largo ripe to matoes, one onion, one red pepper, two cups of vinegar, two tablespoonfulB of sugar, one table spoonful of salt; chop very fine and boil one hour. In making ten times this amount let it boil five or six hours. Grapo Butter. Press the finest grapes through a colander, and to each quart of the substance add ono and a quarter paunds of sugar, spice to taste and boil slowly for ono hour, stirring frequently. Put in stone or glass jars and keep in a cool place. Corn FritterB. One dozen ears of sugar corn, grated or scraped ; three eggs, whites and jolks beaten separately; three grated crackers, ono tabespoonful of melted butter, pepper and salt to tasto. If not thick enough, add a little more cracker. Fry in butter and lard mixed. Tho old horse is safer and bettor for the use of the younger members of tho family than younger ones, but for general farm work a horse should bo young and strong. During the summer, when the work is very heavy, the horses should be fed three times a day and given two hours est at noon. Grapo Wine. Secure the finest grapes and press out all the juice. To each gal lon add threo pounds of sugar; stand in an open vessel in tho cedar to ferment, keeping the vessel filled by adding sweet ened water. When done fermenting, put into a cask and bung tightly. The best points of a dairy cow can be seen when the cows are at their best, and then is the best time to make vour selection, because in the aggregate tho farm Block has paid should not bo satis factory. It is important to know not only which kind of stock, but also which animals pay tho largest per cent of profit. Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds of exhausted soil. The tree will make a growth of leaves and wood on poor land, but they require mineral manure to per fect tht fruit. Land that has been too rough for plowing may yet have spaces between the rocks where fruit trees will thrive, and it is better than land that has been exhausted by long cropping. A soil containing free lime, potash or magnesia is in condition to form rapidly in warm weather under tilage valuable compoundsof nitrogen, which will hasten plant growth. This process, called ultui faetion of tho soil, does not go on rapidly in tho absence of limo, potash, soda, etc., henco the importance of applying lime and potash to soils deficient in them. Dahlias should always have stout stakes driven closo to the main stalk of the plant to give the support needed in case of high winds. If these stakes aro painted green they will not be noticeable, and if they are taken indoora in autumn, when thodahlia roots aro taken up, they will last several years. Thoy are much neater than anything that "happens to be at hand" when you get around to attend to this necessary work. Baked Tomatoes. Paro and quarter nice large tomatoes and put them in a inlander to drain. Cut tho crust trom nmo slices of stale bread, trim them to tit the bottom of a buttered pudding dish, and fry them to a light brown in hot fat. Dip thorn in salted boiling milk, and fit in tho dish ; lay on tho drained tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, cover thickly with bread crumbs, not with butter, and strew over a scant teaspoonful of sugar. In vert a tin pio plato over it, nnd bake for twenty minutes ; take ttio cover off and brown. Good Uso for House Slops. If you save all tho slops from tho houso, the wash-water, andsudoof suadrv occasions during tho week you will find that you havo a supply of nutriment at hand to draw ujon "which is far richer than you have any idea. It will not make a poor soil permanently rich, but it will afford Hutlieient nutriment to nourish such plants as you grow in it during tho summer in a very satisfactory maimer. Wo planted some annuals on a stiff cluy that had Wii thrown out of a cellar. We water them regularly with suds and slops and they surpass in growth and tlori forousness those grown in the garden. Milot for the Silo. This crop is an ex ceedingly valuable ono, although, per haps, because it is easily grown, it is nt jK)pular. last year a crop of millet was sown in a four-acro field, that hail been in pasturo for several years and had been well manured. The crop ?;rew thickly and tall nearly six feet botoro the heads lcgan to appear, ami it was cut be fore half the heads had emerged from the sheaths. The four acres yielded twenty five largo two-horse wagon loads of half cured foddor, which was put into a small silo sixteen by twenty and fifteen feet deep. Tho fod'dor fed eight head of horses and colts, two yoke of working oxen, fifteen head of two-and-three-vear old steers and heifers, fourteen yearlings and a bull, equal to forty-two head for eleven weoKS, and tho fodder was eaten greedily to tho last without any waste. At this rate ono aero would havo fed one head for one hundred and fifteen weeks, or more than two years. Then what letter and cheaper crop is there than this, which occupies tho ground only three months, requires no cultivation and costs for all eiH'nsea not moro than $4 per acre? But It needs good soil anil earlier Bowing than usual. Bert Jackson, who murdered William R MeUin last May In El Dorado county, has been found guilty with a penalty of lifo imprisonment. Tho G. A, R.

A woman was recently convicted 1 in New Jeroy for being a scold. If the law was just it would convict a few husbands for giving their wife so much to scold about. Ono of tho best rules in conversa tion is, never to say a thing which any of tho company can reasonably wish, wo had rather loft unsaid. Nor can there anything bo well moro contrary to tho ends for which pooplo moot, to gether than to part unsatisfied with each other or themselves. Swift. Idlenoss Is tho nursory of crlmo.
