They bad set aside 32 for the tickets, and Mr. Temploton thought if he econo mized a bit on the cigars, they might go and get some luncheon after the show, too. When Mr. Templeton onme home that night be was met at the door by bis wife, who said: "Well, Fred, I have decided tbat we won't go to the theater tonight." "Won't no?" said Fred. "Why nor, I'd like to know?" Mrs. Templeton'a face took on a serious look. "Mrs. Byrnes was in to see me this afternoon," she replied, and she told me about that unfortunate White family that lives on the next block. She said that he had not had a bit of work for six months, that they bad pawned everything they had tbat the brokers would take, and were now on the verge of starvation. I used to know her when she went to school. "I thought we might forego the pleas ure of the visit to the theater, and 1 sent Johnny around with the $2 to the Whites. If it will do them any good I knew you'd not begr udge, and, besides" here she bit ber lip savagely and jabbed her haudkorohief into oue of ber eyes "I didn't oare very muoh about going anywav, so you needn't feel bad." "l!y Jove, you are a noble little wo man!" said Templeton, kissing her fond ly. "I guess you're right about the money doing the Whites a lot of good, but you needn't be disappointed for nil that, A follow I know gave me a couple of lithograph tickets, and we're goiua anyway. I was going to give you that 'l for your own' " They were happy at the supper table, and about 7:15 started for the theater. The lithograph tickets called for seats pretty well toward the rear of the house. The Templetons got there just as the orchestra began to play. Just as the footlights wure turned up a seedy-looking man and a faded woman took the two vaoant seats just in front of them. Mrs. Templeton nudged ber husband and said: "If that isn't Laura Smith, who married that White felluw, I'm badly fooled." Mr. Templeton peered around and made up his mind that his wife was right. Thoy didn't enjoy the first act much. After the curtain had dropped the woman turned around and roo ig nized Mrs. Templeton. "Why, bow-do do," she said gushingly, "I havn't seen you in an ago." "I'm pretty well," respouded Mm. Templeton, ntiilly. "Kind of surprised to see us here, ain't you?" Mrs. Templetou was furious by this time. "Ye?," she said, "I must say that I am." "Well, I'll tell you," the womau said, "I don't suppose I've got any business here, but some s ifty sent around $2 to the house this afternoon, and me and Will was just aohin' to see the show, so we came."

GIVE THE FAKMEB FACTS. The average planter baa but little use for finely spun theory, whether it per tains to the relation of bis oondition to politics or whether it deals with the best ways and means of growing the best crops. What he wants is Faots. No one baa realized this more than the great seed firm of D. M. Ferry A Co., Detroit, Mich., who for forty years have been studying the wants aud oondition of planters, large and small, Bud as a result have oreated the largest seed business in the whole world. Without doubt, a Btrict adherence to the policy of dealing in facta represents the seoret of their success. They know their seeds are right before they are sent to the many thousand dealers from whom the planter gets them. The dealer knows this to be a faot requiring no further question, and the planter finds it to be a substantial fact when harvest time oomes. Another illustration of the value of this method is found iu Ferry's Seed Annual, in whioh there Is nothing but faots. Faots that prove of the greatest Value to every planter; faots about how, when and where to plant, that can be had from no other source. There are no worthy facts left out, and no unworthy theories let in. This book is sent fiee to every one wbo asks for it. A postal oard with your name and address eeut the firm will bring it to you.
