And he was an esquire's son; . He loved the bailiff's daughter dear - That lived in Islington, She was coy, and she would not believe That be did love her so, No, nor at any time she would Any countenance to him show. But when his friends did understand His fond and foolish mind, They sent him up to fair London, 'An apprentice for to bind, And when be had been seven long years, And his love he had not seen, "Many a tear have I shed for her sake When she little thought of me." All the maids of Islington Went forth to sport and play, All but the bailiff's daughter She secretly stole away. She put off her gown of gray, And put oa her puggish attire. She's up to fair London gone Her true love to require. As she went along the road, The weather being hot and dry, There was she aware of her true love, At length came riding by. She stepped to -him, as red as any rose, ' And took him by the bridle ring : "I pray you, kind sir, give me one penny To ease my weary limb." "I prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me Where that thou wast born?" "At Islington, kind sir," said she, "Where I have had many a scorn." "I prithee, sweet heart, canst thou tell me Whether dost thou know The bailiff's daughter of Islington?" "She's dead, sir, long ago." "Then will I sell my goodly steed. My saddle and my bow, I will unto sotue far countree Where no man doth me know." "O stay, O stay I thou goodly youth,. She's alive, she is not dead ; Here she standeth by thy side, And is ready to be thy bride."

What Became of All tke Bill Ho - Introduced In Cong-res. "Yes, my fellow citizens," said tht political candidate, "If you have paid any attention to the work of Congress you will have noticed that during the past session I Introduced twenty-two bills, each of which was Intended to benefit this community. I stand before you to-day with the proud conscious ness of having served you faithfully and to the best of my ability. Those twenty-two bills would, if they had been passed, have made this one of the most favored districts on God's green earth, and " "Oh," yelled a man In the gallery, "we know you- Introduced em, all right, but what happened to 'em after that?" "Gentlemen, I appeal to your sense of honor. Do you consider it fair that I should be Interrupted in this man ner? Is It right that I should " "There ain't no harm in answerln' the question, is there?" asked another of the statesman's hearers. "Well, sir, I will tell you what be came of those bills, my fellow citizens. Every one of them was printed in the Congressional Record, where, if you will look over the flies, you may find them to-day. But to revert to the seed question, gentlemen, I do not hesitate to promise that no man living in this, the most splendid district In our grand old State, shall appeal to me In vain if you shall deem It best to send me back to Washington, where I have served you with such signal ability."

A prominent railway, man tells of a railway ticket that took a sudden jour ney on its own account It appears that as a northbound train on the Colo rado and Southern road passed one of the stations a passenger In a forward car raised a window, and in an in stant his ticket waa blown from his hands. The passenger naturally gave it up for lost and was much surprised when the baggagemaster handed it to him a little while later. It appears that when the ticket flew through the window a southbound train was pass ing. The suction of that train, which was moving at a rapid rate, drew the ticket along with it, and as it passed the rear end of the northbound train it blew into the door of the amoklng car. There it was found by the baggage master. Minneapolis Journal. Recnlt of Praetlee. ' "That shoeblack poet who is all the rage really writes very well." "Yes, his verse Is so poitehed."

Professor lliot Makes Suggestions for Overcoming Trouble. From Washing-ton Stat College. Pullman. In a letter addressed to a farmer residing near Walla Walla, Professor Elliott discussed black alkali, and its interference with the growth of al falfa ; plants which are tolerative of alkali ; grasses and plants which tend to crowd out alfalfa, and means pre ventive of this ; and r certain pest which is damaging the leaves of apple trees grown by this farmer. Briefed somewhat, the letter follows : "I understand from your letter, that you are having difficulty with the black alkali, which interferes with the start ing of alfalfa. The land in question is undoubtedly so supplied with water near the surface that there is consider able evaporation, which has caused the alkali to rise to the surface. This trouble would be observed in all such land, and the best way to prevent it is by surface draining. This would per mit the washing out of the alkali from the surface through the drains, and I think you would have sufficient rainfall in the winter to accomplish this. The drains should be from two to three feet below the surface, which would not interfere with the cultivation of al falfa, as the water level wou.ld be at the distance beneath the surface of the lower level of the drains. "I suspect that if you are able to get a start of alfalfa, it would be able to overcome the effect of the alkali, which I assume is strongest near the surface ; but with the water level so near the surface as it is, the roots would not have any encouragement to penetrate deeply, and would probably stop at the water table. It might be possible to counteract the effect of the alkali by the use of considerable ma nure, or some chemical fertilizer, but I very much doubt the value of such treatment. "We have seen some excellent stands of alfalfa secured by seeding alfalfa in the fall. Fall seeding should be doneearly enough to secure the full benefit of the fall rains, and thereby make a growth, which would insure that the alfalfa would pass safely through the first winter, while the plants were somewhat tender. I think that in the warm section of the state, where you are located, that this would be perfectly possible; and it would have the further advantage of starting during the time when the alkali would be less abundant, due to its being washed out by the winter rains. "Regarding plants which might be tolerative of alkali, the station would inform you that there are several, but that it is quite difficult to obtain the seed of such in any quality. There is a plant known as salt grass (Distichlis Maritima), which has a small seed, and is very coarse, which is somewhat common, but which seeds very spar ingly; consequently, getting a start of this grass is very difficult. It does not make first class forage but stock will eat it. Its chief value is its abil ity to grow in alkaline places, thereby absorbing the alkali. "It is said that the Australian salt bush will do the same. This plant re sembles tumble weed, and the station has been informed that it is becoming quite a pest in the neighborhood of Walla Walla. Therefore the experi ment station does not advise you to try it. "The salt grass to which you refer is, - entirely different from the Iowa quack grass. You will find that blue grass, as well as other grasses, will frequently crowd out alfalfa ; in fact, throughout this region we find that after six or seven years the alfalfa be comes so crowded out by other grasses that the ground has to be worked over, or plowed up. Frequent disking will control this to some extent. I doubt if alfalfa will grow in any soil where the water table is as near as three feet to the surface. "The pest which you mention is un doubtedly the aphis, or apple lice, which affect the leaves. They are sucking insects, and absorb so much of the sap that the leaves curl up and ul timately die. It is difficult to control wire worms when they once get a start. It is possible that a treatment of air-slacked lime around the plants, or even an application of salt, might have a beneficial effect. Either of these applications would need tobef made with great care." Query Will you kindly advise us concerning the use of dust sprayers in the fruit raising sections of the Pacific slope? Has their success been uni form, or otherwise? Ans. There is a peculiar, condition existing at the present time relative to the use uf dust sprays in the several fruit growing sections of the North west. Quite a number of orchardists are using the dust sprays at the pres ent time, and are successful to the extent of keeping their fruit almost entirely free from insect pests, reduc ing the amount of injury to less than one per cent. Other experiments have failed entirely.' Where successfully used, this method of spraying is very satisfactory, especially in hilly orch ards where it is almost impossible to get around with a gasoline outfit. In the opinion of W. S. Thornber, horti culturist of the state experiment sta tion of Washington, the matter of dust sprays is a good field for further ex ploitation. From the Washington State College. Pullman.
