"Here Is Your Jewel Casket, Madam," He Said
NEW YOruC.i-"Madame," and tlio handsome station master looked Into her
violet eyes, "your Jowel casket, I am happy to Inform you, has been found."
Tho violet eyes looked up Into his and a flush mantled her checks.
"Thank you no much," sho said.
"You muBt have seen mo when I
dropped It."
The, II. S. M. said no, but with an
accent tliat did not make It sound like
a harsh word at nil.
"I know It was yours," ho said,
"because It Just matched tho color of
your gown. I was much worried until
I found you, for I know that tho con
tents must bo very valuable. Do not
mention It at all. It hns been roward
enough to havo returned thoso jewels
to you." Sho shook tho leather-covered box apprehensively and listened. "I
suggest'," said tho II. S. M., "that you examine tho contents before you go
further. Perhaps soma of them might bo missing. My ofllco is at your dis
posal tf you wish to do so."
And so she of tho violet eyes went to tho office and tho II. 8. M. said
,io one of his assistants, "Odell, Just glvo tho lady this dosk, will you. Sho
would like to make an Inventory of her Jewels, which Bho Just lost and

Ono small mirror, cracked.
Ono rabbit's foot.
Ono comb.
Ono bottle of perfumo. '"', "
' Ono pot of rouge.
One tube of cold cream.
Ono eyebrow pencil.
Ono date book.
"How funny," sho said, aftor a pauso, glancing at tho limp form of the
II. S. M., which had fallen back in his chair, "that you should havo thought
this was filled with diamonds! Why, this Is my tango vanity. All tho girls

Firemen Steal the Bed of Pair Wed in Secret
CHICAGO. A Maxim slloncor on tho wedding chimes failed to work when
Charlos F. Passow, a fireman, married Miss Margarot Mulligan at ner
Homo, 1340 North Avers avenue. PasBow recently asked for a furlough, but
did not explain that ho Intended to bo
married.
Ho had heard of tho pranks
played on prospective bridegrooms by
their heartless mates in tho flrehouso.
So he decided to havo a secret wed
ding. Passow and his flancoe picked out
a sunny flat at E305 Maryland avenue,
and during his hours off thoy visited
furnlturo emporiums and picked out
all the accessories dear to tho hearts
of tho newly-married.
Dut Passow underestimated tho discernment of tho other member of
tho englno company.
Mr. and Mrs. Passow went to their now homo after tho wedding tho
other night. Passow tried to open tho door, but tho key would not work.
This was because tho mombera of company 19 had plugged up all tho koy
holes. In a rage hotter than moat of tho Area ho has turned the hoso on,
Passow struggled with tho koy until finally ho and his bride gained entrance.
On tho dining-room table thoy found an elaborate set of aluminum kitchen
utensils with a card convoying tho company's best wishes.
' "They are Just beautiful," Mrs. Passow said.
"Yes, tho boys aro pretty good-hearted, oven if thoy do havo their llttlo
joko," Passow conceded.
Then ho suddonly missed tho bod.
Onco moro he felt murder In his heart. He raced back and forth through
tho flat and at last found that tho door of a cloBet was locked and tho keyhole
stuffed. PaBsow got a chisel and hnmmor nnd got tho door open. Tho bod
had been carefully taken down and stored In tho closet.
y Alter thoy talked tho matter, over, Mr. and Mrs. Passow decldod that
thoy could afford to forglvo tho Jokers.
This Couple Knew a Good Cow When They Saw It
MUNCIE, IND. Charles Shlck, when ho retired from tho morcantllo busi
ness, moved to a suburban homo. Ho had always wished to live out
where' ho could koep chickens, a driving horso or two, and a cow. Whenever
Shlck and his wlfo drow mental plans
of their suburban homo thoy Included
a Bketch of an ideal cow. In fact.
thoy decided thoy would spend, if neo
ossnry, n hundred dollars for a cow,
but It must look llko a, hundred dol
lara' worth of cow. Aftor thoy be
came Bottled In thoir now homo they
started out cow-shopping. Thoy read
tho classified advertisements and can
vasBod Dolawaro county's 12 town
ships. Thoy saw a lot of cows, but
none looked llko tho cow thoy wished.
Then tho county fair camo. Shlck and his wlfo went. At tho cattlo barns
they saw a cow. It belonged to tho genua Jersey. Its eyes woro soft and
mellow. Its hoofs and horns woro neatly manlcurod. Its fawn-colorod coat
was beautiful to behold. And as for tho general symmetry and. makeup tho
animal would suit the most exaotlng. The herdsman said this particular cow
,was an abundant milk producer. Ho said It was as sweet tomporod as a
fat baby.
Tho Shlcks exchanged knowing glances. Vorlly they had, at last, found
a cow that looked llko tho mental picture they had drawn.
"I suppose you will sell this cow?" Shlck asked?
"Yes, It Is for sale," said the herdsman.
"How much do you want for the animal?" said Shlck.
"Well," Bald tho herdsman, "It Is one of the best animals In tho herd, but
wo'll take fifteen hundred dollars for the cow,"
Shlck clutched at his wife's arm. Thon thoy Btartod across tho fair
ground toward tho grandstand. For half an hour nolthor spoko. Then Shlck
broke the alienee. Ho turned to his wlfo and In a meek volco said, "Say,
wife, we know a good cow when wo soo ono, don't wo?"
For maintaining or restoring tho
fertility of tho fields there Is nothing
boter thnn barnyard mnnuro. Dy tho
ordinary mothods of piling manure on
tho ground or storing it in wooden
pens or boxcB, 30 to 50 per cent of
its fertility la lost, according to tho
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
This loss is brought about In two
ways: First, by leaching or washing
duo to heavy rains; second, by fer
mentation or heating caused by lack
of sufficient moisture. Slnco concrete
pits aro waterproof, manure may bo
kep"t In them aa moist as may bo
necessary and such an enormous
wasto in tho fertility of tho manure
may thus be entirely prevented. Ono

N tho rear of St. Paul's churchyard

which havo been restored to their

low months due to digging tho Broad
way subway beneath tho historic
graveyard, some of tho atones woro ro
movod temporarily nnd others were
covered with wooden frameB to save
them from injury by the subway labor

has been completed and tho grave
atones havo been replaced, and now
grass has been planted over tho
graves.
In tho last row la a plain white
ntono upon which may faintly be
traced tho name "Georgo I. Eackor."
A few yeara ago tho date, 1804, could
be discerned, but It is now illegible.
The stone has long censed to attract
attention and It would doubtless sur
prise most of the visitors to St Paul's
to learn that tho white sandstone slab
marks tho burial place of the young
man who killed the eldest son of Alex
ander Hamilton In a duel three years
before General Hamilton was killed In
his duel with Aaron Burr.
Hamilton Received Fatal Wound.
Philip Hamilton was not quite twen
ty years old when he crossed tho ferry
to the dueling ground at Weehawken
to faco Eacker, one of tho young law
yerB of tho tlmo who waa attached to
tho political party of which Aaron
Burr was tho acknowledged leader.
Tho meeting took placo on Monday
afternoon, November 23, 1801. David
S. Jones was one of Hamilton's sec-
tleth year of his age, Philip Hamilton,
eldest 6on of General Hamilton, mur
dered In a duel."
Tho cause of the duel, as It appears
In tho light of tho present day, seems
trivial. At tho Fourth of July celebra
tion of 1801, George Eacker delivered
an address which by his partisans
waa received with great praise. Ho
criticized tho federalist, which an
gered tho party favorable to Hamilton.
A few days beforo the duel, Philip
Hamilton, with a friend named Price,
occupied tho same box at tho old Park
theater on Park Itow, with Eacker
and Bomo of Eacker'a friends.
The Park tfteatcr was nearly in tha
middle of the block between Ann and
Beekmun streets, a llttlo abovo the
present Park Row building. Hamilton
and Prlco Indulged in somo laughing
remarks about Eackcr's speech. The
latter, overhearing the conversation,
asked Hamilton to step into tho lob
by. Price followed. There waB a
Blight altercation, ending by Eacker'a
using tho word "rascals." According
to the dueling code, that demanded
satisfaction. After the performance,
tho three men repaired to a nearby
tavern and when Eacker was asked
for whom he meant the epithet he re
plied. "For both." He then left, say
ing: "I shall expect to hear from
you."
Challenges were Issued tho next
day, that of Price being accepted first.
Eacker and Price met at Weehawken
on Sunday, November 22, and after
exchanging four shots without injury,
the seconds stopped the duel. Hamll.

to his apartments and turned tho big

Cutter for Silage,
There aro on the market several
makes of silage cutters that will glvo
satisfaction, according to Farmers'
Bulletin 578, issued by TJ. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Tho capacity
of tho machine la an Important consid
eration which should not bo over
looked by tho purchaser. Many per
sona mako tho mistake of getting a
cutter which is too small, thus ma
king tho operation of filling tho silo
very slow and interfering with the
continuous employment of tho entire
force of mon.
It la better to get a machlno largo
onough so that overy ono will bo able
to keop busy all tho time. Tho larger
cutters aro equipped with Belf-feeders,
a labor-Baving devico which tho smal
ler sizes lack. Other factors to bo
taken Into uccount in purchasing a
cutter aro tho amount of work to bo
done and tho power available. Of
course, for the filling of a very small
silo It would not bo wise to buy a
largo machlno. Neither would it be
advisable- to overload tho engine or
motor by using a cutter which Is too
largo for the power available.
Two types of silage elevators aro
In us tho old-style chain carrier and
the blower. Tho chain carrier re
quires less power, but is harder to set
up and there Is moro litter when it ia
usod, especially In windy weather.
For theso reasons tho blower is now
fast displacing tho carrier,
Tho blower should bo placed as
nearly perpendicular as possible so as
to reduce to tho minimum the. friction
of tho cut corn upon tho Insldo of tho
plpo and lessen tho danger of clog
ging. Tho power necessary to operate tha
cutter will dopend upon its slzo and
whether tho elevator la a chain car
rier or a blower and upon tho rate of
feeding. It is posslblo by feeding
Blowly to get along with less power
than would bo requlrod whon feeding
to the full capacity of tho machine.
As a rule, however, thero should bo
sufficient power to. run tho cutter at
full capacity, and even a little surpluB
1b advisable. If a gasollno englno 1b
usod, about 1 horsepower for each
1-Inch length In the cutting cylinder;
that Is, a 15-Inch cutter will tako a
15-hor8opower engine, an 18-lnch cut
tor will requlro nn 18-horsopowor en
glno, and so on. If a steam englno la
employed, the power should be at
loaBt two-thirds of thnt Indicated for
the gasoline engine.
Tho usual length of cutting varlos
from one-half to 1 Inch. Tho Intter Is
considered a llttlo too long, since
plocca of this length will neither pack
so closely in tho silo nor bo so com
pletely consumed whon fed as tho
shorter lengths. On tho other hnnd,
tho longer tho pieces tho more rapidly
can tho corn bo run through the cutter.
