She was thw daughter of my best friend. ar.d I bad watched her and laved her from her cradle days, and when I married her I con. Mncl the lore for a child wf h fbe lore for a wife. At tie lime of our tragedy we were about 120 mile* fror Calgary, the nearest n at/ited place, and were ate jctia* m th< wildest awrtion of our Joun. 'A - bad fees riding for four boor' » bout break, because I want j ed to complete our trip as eooa as pt«*ilile Fanny was a few feet ahead cif m--. and the pack mule brought up the rear. ^ We were both drowsing In the saddle. I niTr or leas overcome with fdtigue and the Intense heat from which the heavy woods afforded as little protec •fen when suddenly I was aroused by a cry and. looking up. saw Fanny's male rearing an his hind legs I •bought that he bad ben stung by a hornet, and hurried toward him. Be fore I bad advanced a yard, the brute lopi led over the edge of the precipice ; which .-awned. and disappeared I came upuo the dead mule first. A lew feet away I found the shapeless form <4 my wife—every bone In her irdj broken Her head and face were ' not badly injured She had fallen feet.

I I ard tlie howling of the wolves, and the horrible truth that if I left her to ummon help the beasts would make short work of her came to me so clear ly that I at once banished the idea. I I stood by and watched the woman I I loved belter than anything else in the world suffering the tortures of the lainnrd with not a single chance of recovery. Every now and again. Fanny would i”pse into unconsciousness, and dur ing these periods I would walk up and down, wondering what course to pur sue. SThould I kill my wife? I felt that to accede to her request would i be murder in the eyes of men. But ■.hat did not worry me. I was willing to commit murder to end her terrible sufferings. But was there the faint est chance of saving her? That was , the great point upon which the whole I | thing hinged. Again she opened her eyes. "You ; are a toward. Jim.” she said, "or you ■ would kill me. You know I haven't j a chance to live and I may suffer this 1 ’.orture for many hours." ' But. Fanny," I groaned. “I can't ; j kill you. Some one may come along j and we could get you to help." It's ten days to Calgary. What ; -bailee have I for living that ten •lavs'*'' she asked. 'I can’t live, any way. 1 um all broken inside pf me. ; You are a cowardV For five hours this went on. Alter- ) nateljr there were spells of conscious- j ness in which my wife moaned and tri* k ■ I with pain and reviled me as a coward, and then came unconscious- j j nes.s during which 1 saw that pain | I sail jiersinted At ’he i\th hour I could endure it no longer I kissed her good-by. I took my pistol and pressed the muz- ! z!<» of it against her head. She closed j her eyes and said "fire." but I had not strength enough to press the trigger, and my arm dropped to my side. "Oh. you coward, you coward!" she ’Tied. I walked away that 1 might think it out all over again. The same prob lems presented themselves to me. and 1 mid see only the one answer. Death alone could end my wife's tortures. Natural d‘-ath might be delayed for hnurs. perhaps even days. There was nothing at hand to relieve the pain. If I fell asleep, as I was bound to sooner or later, we would fall ready victims to the wild beasts. The wolves were already closing in on us. For three hours I debated the ques tion. and again I decided to kill my wife And again I faltered at the last moment. And so it went on until the t nth hour. My wife's agony seemed to increase. Finally. 1 knelt by her side. We prayed together for the repose of her soul and for forgiveness for my act. Then 1 killed her! I covered my wife's remains with stones and rocks and grass, and re turned to Calgary. I gave myself up to the sheriff. A party was made up 1 to verify my story and to hold the in quest. I »as exonerated by the coro ner's jury, but It is not within the . power of man to obliterate from my 1 mind the memory. “Right in Theory, Doubtful in Practice” By BARONESS BAZUS (Mrs. Frank Leslie). 1HAD a beautiful young friend, a sw«et woman of strong character, who listened to her mother's plead ings to give her an overdose of morphine and end her life. The cir : cumstanees seemed to justify her. Her mother was in the last stages of acute kidney disease She suffered terrible agony, and prayed for speedy death. She begged her daughter to end her sufferings. "It will be easy, daughter. Just i give me an overdose of that medicine. A few more drops of morphine and my ! agony will Le over, she said over and over again. Well, the daughter yielded. She »-nded her mother’s sufferings, and she believed she had shortened her life by only three or four days. Theoretically. I am in favor of end ,ng a life whose prolonging means I only misery. But as to Its practical working out I have doubts. For in- i stance. Dr. Crip pen might set up as a d- fens.* that b killed his wife because she was suffering from an incurable j disease and begged him to shorten her 1 life. Like hypnotism, it Is capable of 1 good uses and bad. and we have more 1 reason to fear the bad than to hope for general benefits from the good. I > have lived long enough and mingled enough "vith humanity to have reached the conclusion that there are more bad :>cople than good in the world. There are many persons who. while not bad. are not actively good, so their influ ence is the same. The Human Heart. The ordinary weight of the human h.-art is nine and one-half ounces, and n size th« inrun is equal to the closed i ?■_=! of the person to whom it belongs. SHORTHORN, HOLSTEIN OR , AYRSHIRE FOR DAIRYMAN Where It Is Intended to Sell Calves to Butcher, Breeds Named Are Excellent—Some of Their Qualities. The best bull for the milk farmer is the Holstein. Shorthorn or Ayr shire. If he intends to sell the calves to the butcher when two or three weeks 'old he should buy the Holstein or Shorthorn. A male of either breed, properly fed and bred to grade cows of any of the large milking breeds, will give large calves that will make rapid growth and sell for $$ to $10 each when at the age of 20 to 25 days. A milk farmer should not have a Jersey bull, as they bring small, deli cate calves that can seldom be sold for more than a few dollars. Any calf butcher will tell you what calf will bring the most money. If the milk farmer desires to raise the female calves from his best cows he should buy an Ayrshire. The Ayr shire has been bred exclusively for milk, and will probably yield a great r the Baltimore market from Ohio and West Virginia. They are great eaters and usually give a large quantity of milk and when dry fatten quickly. The cowrs are fed liberally at all times, and as soon as fat disposed of to good advantage as beef. A herd of fat grade Shorthorn cows recently sold for $55 per head, ' which was within a few dollars of their pur chase price when fresh. The milk farmer should decide whether half a dozen or more fat cows sold every spring to the butcher will not pay better than keeping the cows over until they come fresh. Our own method, which we have found most economical, as w-e have the pas ture and the feed, is to keep the best milkers over. We only raise the fe male calves from our choicest cows. Dairymen having high-priced land and carrying on an exclusive milk busi Champion Shorthorn. er quantity of milk for the food con sumed than any other breed. An other excellent quality of the Ayrshire breed is their freedom from lung diseases; their liaruy. rugged charac ter and their ability to stand cold weather without injury. For cheese and milk at the lowest cost, the Ayr shire and the Ayrshire cross will give the largest returns. For cream and butter buy the Guernsey or the Milking Polls. The Guernsey is much larger than the Jersey, they give a larger flow of milk and the milk, being highly col ored. can be sold at an advanced price. 1 know of dairymen keeping a few well-bred Guernseys for the ex press object of their milk being used to color and flavor the milk from their grade cows. Nearly all the dairy farm?rs that make a business of selling Milk to the city want large cows. The cows preferred are the grade Shorthorns or the Holsteins. says a writer in the Baltimore Amer ican Most of these cows come to j ness should take the Shorthorn or Holstein cross. The dairyman living on his clay or rough mountain farm should take the Ayrshire bull and raise the choicest female calves to keep up his herd. This he can do much cheaper, as his expenses are much less. American Hogs. Five distinct breeds of hogs are credited to American skill, and every one of them is better adapted to Amer ican conditions than any foreign breed, barring the Berkshire. The I Berkshire seems to be a good hog anywhere. Fleas and Mites. It is said that crude carbolic acid dissolved in boiling water and sprin ' kled about the barn or henhouse is ; sure death to fleas and mites. Use J i 15 cents' worth of the carbolic acid * to a bucket of water. SEEDS INJURED BY MOISTURE Varieties Like Blue Grass Will Heat Quickly if Not Dried in Sun or With Artificial Heat of Some Kind. (By CHAS. K. ItTATHERPONM The drying of seeds affects their gerir.inability to a considerable ex tent. Some seed, like blue grass seed, will quickly heat and spoii if not thoroughly dried in the sun or with artificial heat. Much of the poor blue grass seed has been made poor by being too quickly put in large receptacles where it does not have an opportunity to thoroughly dry. Even when piled In the field after it has been taken from the blue grass tops it has been known to heat suf ficiently to spoil it. It is unfortunate that when a man has a lot of blue grass seed that has been so spoiled that he cannot resist the temptation to sell it for good seed. Many other seeds are injuriously af fected by too great e moisture content, but few so much as the blue grass seed. The higher the starch content of the seed the more necessary does it api>ear to be to keep it from damp ness. Corn, being high in percentage of starchy matter, must be kept from dampness or its germinability will be destroyed. So readily does it heat under warm, moist conditictis that it is regarded as very difficult to send a cargo of corn across the' equator. It may be accepted as a good rule that all seeds should be kept from dampness, most of all such seeds as corn. Just how the dampness affects the germinability we do uot fully know. In some cases doubtless the damp ness with a fair degree of heat starts the germ to developing, which later, when the seed is again dried, is ar rested and the soft cells harden, and the germ dies. Corn especially should be kept from dampness. When the weather in the fall is such that the corn fully matures and the ears dry out before the frost comes, almost any amount of cold fails to injure it. Not so the seed that has not thor oughly dried out. The heavy freezes destroy the germ life because of the moisture in the germ. It is probable that the minute particles of moisture i are expanded in the freezing and burst the cells of which they form a part. The drying of corn Is therefore a | necessity if good seed is to be had. j The worst feature about this expert- | ence with corn is that It leaves no ex- | ternal mark to show what has taken j ! place in the germ. The farmer picks out the nicely ap- j pearing ears and shells the corn for \ seed. Not till it fails to come up the next year does he begin to suspect i that its germ inability had been in jured before he selected it for seed. French Market Poultry. The French method of preparing poultry for market is acknowledged in some respects superior to others. The birds are made very fat and plump, and are manipulated to increase plumpness. A few feathers are left on the tail and neck. The skin is ! white and delicate. Each carcass Is ! tied with a ribbon and is shown back i uppermost, instead of breast up. ac- : cording to American and English usage. Keep Hay Loft Clean. The floor of the hay loft should bt j seed and dust tight. Horses are ofter 1 injured by seeds and dirt falling intc ! their eyes and ears.

PROPER DEPTH FOR PLOWING Excellent Method Is to Plow an Inch or Two Deeper Every Year, Brtoslns Bottom Soli to Surface Gradually, (By C. M. MILDER.) One of my neighbors started his fail plowing early this year. I saw him recently scuffling along behind his two little mustang ponies that were trying to drag a 14-inch plow. He was turning up the soil about three inches deep, and when he came to a particularly hard spot he bore down cn the handles and let the plow point skim close to the surface. I don't be lieve that the soil four inches below the surface ever saw the light in any of his fields. No wonder he is always complain ing of poor crops. I once suggested that if he would use a ten-inch plow and set it to run even five or six inch-1 es deep he would get better results, ; but I simply got snubbed for niv pains : which served me right for meddling ! It takes a big 2.400-pound team t( ! draw a 14-inch plow and get down tc I the proper depth. I am a firm be j liever in deep plowing. The depth should be lowered gradu ! ally. I do not think it is a good plat to sink a subsoil plow deep into the furrow and turn up soil that has laii dormant for years. A better plan is tc plow an inch or two deeper every yeai and in this way bring the bottom soi; to the surface gradually. It will ab sorb plant food more readily and is the long run produce better crops. Setting Strawberries in Spring. Early spring is the most satisfac tory time for setting out a strawberry •bed. A crop may be expected the next spring. Raspberries may be set out either in the fail or spring, but the latter is usually to be preferred. Plant in rows six feet apart. 'Set the canes four to five feet apart. They do not bear the first year. Blackber ries are grown much the same as raspberries and bear the second year. The third season a full crop is pro curable. W.

LEFT TO A WORSE FATE Dynamiter, Himeelf a Married Man, Knew What Awaited Forgetful Husband. The business man was sitting in his \ office, thinking of starting for home, when a suspicious looking person came in with a leather bag In his hand. "If you don't give me $25.” said the visitor, coming at once to the point. | "I will drop this on the floor." The business man was cool. "What Is in it?" he asked. “Dynamite." was the brief reply. "What will it do if you drop it?*’ "Blow you up." "Drop it!" was the instant com mand "My wife told me when I left home this morning to be sure and send up a bag of flour, and I forgot it. I guess it will take just about as much dynamite as you have there to prepare me for the blowing up I'd get when she sees me!" He threw himself back In his chair and waited for the explosion, but it did not come.

Two Englishmen were resting at the Red Home inn at Stratford-on-Avon One of them discovered a print pictur ing a low. tumbling building under neath which was printed: "The House in Which Shakespeare Was Born.” Turning to his friend in mild surprise he pointed to the print. His friend exhibited equal surprise and called a waiter, who assured them of the ac curacy of the inscription. “ Pon my word.” said the observing Englishman, shaking his head dubious ly. "I thought he was born in a man ger?" He Knew.

People Slowly Learn tha Facts. “All my life I hare been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of it was enough to set my nerves luivering. I kept gradually losing my health but I used to say ’Nonsense, it don't hurt me." “Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my whole nervous force was shattered. “My heart became weak and uncer tain in its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told me. about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never ex pect to be well again. “I was in despair, for the very thought of the medicines I had tried so many limes nauseated me. I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee, "Finally I concluded that I owed It to myself to give Postum a trial. So 1 got a package and -carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you know I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum and- not mind the change at all? “Almost Immediately after I made the change I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improv ing. My nerves grew sound and steady. I slept well and felt strong and well-balanced all the time. “Now I am completely cured, with the old nervousness and sickness all gone. In every way I am well once more." It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune one can have.
