ONE CENT CAPITAL
Penny Token Left by VVili Brings
Great and Unexpected Min
eral Riches.
By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD
RIDGE.
“And to niv second nephew, Ronald
Blair, as a reminder of his remarkable
powers of memory, I leave the munifi
cent sum of one penny. As he has
seen fit to Imitate my peculiarities in
private, so may he copy my diligence,
beginning life on one cent capital,
which is more than I had at the
start, and making his own way in the
world.”
The legatee in question listened to
the slow, measured tones of Lawyer
Jones like one in a dream. The read
er of the last will and testament of
Jepthah Blair, stern, practical man as
he was. cast a mournful and sympa
thetic look at the young man. Ho
liked Blair immensely, as did every
one else In the town, unless it was
Hugh Telford, seated also in the
apartment. He smiled viciously and
triumphantly. He was safe ashore
while Ronald was floundering in dark
waters. The “Blair Plat’’ was to be
given to Telford, together with
stocks and bonds valued at $10,000.
"1 suppose you feel like cursing
1'ncle Jepthah." insinuated this pre
cious young schemer and spendthrift.
Ronald was pale; disappointment
and chagrin showed in his frank,
sensative face. It hardened as he
fixed his clear accusing eyes upon his
sneering relative.
"No.” he ■ replied steadily. “If I
was of the cursing sort you might
come in for your share, for—I under
ctand. now.’’
He left the lawyer's office as he
spoke and a shade of anger and fear
crossed the features of Telford. Ron
ald had to admit that he had expect
ed a substantial legacy. He had every
reason to anticipate it. It was cruel,
after all his hopes and plans, and his
heart sank like lead as he thought of
Ruth Mason, his fiance.
Where should he go for comfort
save to her? It was his privilege, his
“That’s the Real Stuff!”
right, and half an hour later he was
seated by her side on the porch of
the Mason home.
“It must be between you and r*e;
all that I have to tell you, dear,” he
said to' the pitying angel at his side.
Two years ago when Hugh and I
were at college there was a charac
ter play. In it was a miserly old
fellow, in dress and actions so fully
a counterpart of Uncle Jepthah that
many recognized it. This came to
his ears, and that will was made. In
reality Hugh had made the suggestion
:>f the character to a chum, and rath
er gloated over ‘showing up the old
skinflint.’ as he called his uncle
Then when the matter got public he
became frightened and told uncle that
I was the culprit.”
"Rut you told me that later every
thing was explained to Mr. Blair.”
suggested Ruth.
“That Is true, and uncle took me
back into his good graces. He even
calied upon Hugh In my presence to
verif.v his statement that he had de
stroyed the will made in anger. Then
he died suddenly, intestate. N'ow
this will appears. By some trickery
1 am convinced Hugh preserved it.”
“But the law,” began Ruth.
“T shall not appeal to It. Let Hugh
go his selfish, cow-ardly way. As
'ong as 1 have you what, does the rest
matter? We can wait a little while
longer, can’t we. dear?”
Ruth lifted her sweet, bonny face
<o his. ineffable tenderness and fidel
ity in Its beautiful depths.
Ronald preserved the penny left to
ntm. Most fellows would have cast
it away with an anathema. Ronald
knew his old uncle meant to do him
justice. It was a rare old Scotch
eoin. He had the jeweler make a hole
In if and suspended it from his watch
ehain.
The. Blair Plat left to his cousin was
a valuable property. Just before the
ueath of Mr. Blair a deposit of a rare
find valuable clay used in stereotyp
ing and for electrical purposes had
been discovered. It was known as
izocerite, found elsewhere only In
Austria <and Utah. If things turned,
nut as they promised. Hugh would
seme day become a wealthy man.
Adjoining the plat was a twenty
acre patch of sterile land which Jiad
been left to Ronald by his mother,
ft was of so little value that he made
no attempt to have it cultivated, hut
secured a position as an accountant
In a near city.
There reached him the first week
the disquieting intelligence that Hugh
was hanging around the Mason home
a good deal. Then he received a let
ter from Ruth. It read: "Be patient
for a year. I am going away and you
must not write to me.” There was
no further word, and Ronald felt that
everything he valued was fading
away from him.
His business went well. The peuny
seemed to bring -him good luck. In
a street melee the bullets severely
wounded tie Innocent bystanders,
but one striicng the penny glinted off
and left him, unscathed. Then the
penny was ob'scrved by a loyal old
Scotchman | Jading to a .friendship
and a lab |,hmotunt of business.
It was '-jimf1 a year later when Ron
ald paid a Visit to his home town.
He. learned that the wonderful ozoc
erite vein had run out. Hugh had
pretty nearly dissipated all his ready
money. He boasted, however, that he
was engaged to Ruth and Ronald be
lieved this after her inexplicable si
lence.
In later years he never forgot a
sad and moody ramble ending at the
barren twenty-acre lot. In going
over it he stumbled, his watch chain
caught on a bush, and the penny
snapped loose and disappeared down
a great bpen crack in the ground.
Ronald had no thought of losing a
token which he sincerely treasured
He saw a man digging on an adjoin
ing farm, went over to him and bar
gained for a careful excavation In
quest of the lost memento.
It took some delicacy of treatment
to manipulate the dry, crumbling dirt
At a depth of four feet, the bottom
of the crack, the penny was pro
dueed.
"Hello!” suddenly exclaimed the
workman as he scraped off his spade
—“say, if this should be the real
vein!”
“The what?” questioned Ronalc
vaguely.
“The vein of ozocerite. Look here—
that's the real stuff," and he took up
a handful of the scrapings from the
spade.
It was “the real stuff:” that was
proven within the ensuing two days
All the town was on fire over the
rare good luck the old penny had
brought to Ronald, for the real ozoc
erite vein had been tapped.
Ronald was standing on the land
that promised so muc.h In the yellow
dusk of the fading day a few evenings
later, when a familiar figure came up
over the rise In the landscape.
His heart stood still as she ap
proached. Then a bitter thought
came into his mind—Ruth had heard
of his good fortune.
“The year is over." she said bright
ly as she approached hifn. "Did they
never tell you? It was Hugh Telford
who laid his fortune at my feet, and
my foolish father encouraged his suit.
Finally it was agreed that I should
take a year to decide, away from both
of you. As if a year or a thousand
could make me forget—you!”
And she lifted the old penny from
the hand of her lover, the lucky
penny cf old Jepthah Blair, and
kissed it.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SWIM
Valuable Course Has Been Added to
the Public Schools of the Ci^y
of Pittsburgh.
A course in swimming has been
added to the required studies in the
public schools of Pittsburgh, and Dr.
Watson L. Savage is quoted as saying
that he will see to it that every child
in the city is taught to swim. This
is a step in public education that de
serves the hearty approval of every
parent and every seeker of the public
welfare.
"To ride, to shoot and to speak the
truth." was the ancient Persian ideal
of education. Needless to say. this was
for boys only; girls in this day fare
better than when the maxim wa6
made. They are taught to exercise
as well as to develop their brains
nowadays. Alike boys and girls ought
to learn to swim, and the public
should provide means of teaching that
most valuable and pleasurable accom
plishment.
Swimming is a splendid sport; It
develops muscles rarely used in other
sports aij^ its usefulness is beyond
question. Yet comparatively few per
sons learn to swim. There are sailors
who have spent many years on the
water but are unable to keep afloat
when suddenly cast into the element
with which they ought to be thorough
ly acquainted. Drownings are far too
numerous; knowledge of how to swim
would greatly lessen their number.
May the time soon rome when every
child who passes through the public
schools will have learned how’ to
swim.

Nelson's War Stores Found.
An interesting find is reported from
Home. Some fishermen declare that a
shepherd has found near Cape Testa,
the extreme northerly point of Sar
diana. a large cave, containing an enor
mous quantity of powder and other
war stores.
It is thought probable that the
stores were placed in the cave by
Nelson when he was watching the
French fleet at Toulon in the opera
tions which ended in the battle of
Trafalgar. Nelson used Sardinia as
his base of supplies, and it was while
he was refitting there that Yilleneuve
escaped from Toulon and got clear
away to Martinique, whence he re
turned to European waters, where he
was at last brought to bay. The
Italian military authorities are investi
gating the find.
Had Two Points of Beauty.
Tasmania's pretty girls of European
lineage have never been tempted to
follow the fashion of the native Tas
manian women, who had all their hair
removed with a flint and went bald.
The last pure blooded Tasmanian
woman died in 1876, aged seventy-six;
the last man in 1S76, aged thirty-four.
\ traveler says that the native had
two fine points—eyes and teeth. The
eyes were prominent and often of
great beauty and brilliancy, and a
dentist of wide experience knew of no
teeth equal to the Tasmanian's for
strength, size and enamel. But the
nose was bridgeiess, the chin "ran off’
and the upper jaw protruded.
Twisted Title.
When the baby became tired of hei
candy and placed nearly a whole stick
on the table Sister Marjorie took up
the sweet and began to eat it.
This made the baby cry lustily.
"You don't want it, and still yon
*a’t want me to have It.” said Mar
jarie; "goodness, baby, you're just
like the ‘dog in the stall' I read about
in my,story book."
I
SHEEP ARE EXCELLENT WEED ERADiCATQRS
Western Sheep Ranch.
There are many reasons why farm- |
ers should keep more sheep, writes
Prof. Thorhas Shaw in The Home- j
stead. The relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
ihe live stock industry in the United
States. The totals of this class of
stock are not much more than they
were 50 years ago. This is all the
more remarkable in view of the tre
mendous expansion that has been go
ing on in almost every line of agri
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed -
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in a sense insati
able devourers of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton if they have
access to the same at a comparatively
early stage in the growth of the
weeds. When other pasture is not
overabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down, at least in a consid
erable degree, the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed. They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds of the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de
voured by them, they are so finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground. 1
have watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
as lambsquarter ‘were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less. .They abound
not only in the form of weeds, but in
the form of grasses of various Jtinds.
These are found numerously in the
grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found in the high
ways, beside the farms, and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build of these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and in
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted, at least
It would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household. The farmer is
much prone to confine hi3 meat diet
lo salt pork, and largely for the rea
son that in this form meat is most
easily kept. Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and of a delicious char
acter by killing and dressing occa
sionally a mutton from his Hock.
With a good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in au ice house, he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. I!ut even in the absence ol
such a place he may partake of such
food during much of the year—that
is, during all portions of the same
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him to keep such meat in a
good condition. In this way much of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of tjte farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted.
Sheep ought to be kept because ol
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No ciass of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
favorable influences thus exerted. -
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the soil; second, from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land, and, third, from the
general distribution of the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
leave the land richer in available fer
tility when they graze upon it than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
it is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has a golden hoof. And It is
founded on the truth.
INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are
and Scatter Ashes.
The usual thing is \ghen the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily. Now, in doing this it is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part of the upper surface of the gar
den. It may be only an inch or two.
but that inch is just the best of the
ground. This is the height of folly.
One reads of the thrifty F'rench
gardeners removing so many inches
of their soil when they have to quit
out. There is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have im
proved with years of labor and care
is a “tenant's fixture," so to speak,
and they take it with them.
What goes on in too many of our
gardens is just the reverse. Instead of
going away and bringing the soil with
us—that is the wealth of our gardens
—we stay and the soil goes, thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
of an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest of the establishment.
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of weil-managed farms and
gardens, of which we now and then
have an inkling, there will be no
rubbish at all, for what is rubbish?
Burning is wasteful when it is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed. It Is another matter in
dealing with such things a:, old
stumps, roots and bad weeds that
preserve their vitality over the win
ter. For them there must be the
cleansing fires. But why make them
away to a rubbish heap? Why not
rather burn them where they lie. at
once and scatter the ashes there.
This plan acts beneficially in more
ways than one. It saves twe cartings
and it is always easier to do a job
of this sort at qnce. Beside, rubbish,
even if left for but a few weeks, will
be found to have afforded free quar
ters to an appalling, if interesting ex
tent, to slugs and other garden pests.
These rubbish heaps! What trou
blesome, unlovely things they are.
At a certain old homestead that I
have in my mind's eye. the practice
Is in full swing. All ashes and con
ditions of things find their way, not
alone from the garden, but from the
dwelling, to a hollow jus^ out of sight
of the house and garden. Here are
"pegged out” any amount of extraor
dinary things—broken pottery, papers,
sardine tins, tin meat cans, probably
In their virgin state, and old hat's,
and there they lie until someone finds
time to set fire to the heap, a blot of
unsightliness amid so much natural
charm.
Hog Sheds.
Hog sheds need not be expensive,
but they should be dry, tight enouglf
to exclude rains and snow3, and also
capable of being well ventilated in
summer when the weather is hot and
shade is needed.
Beet Farmer.
If one farmer raises 40 bushels of
corn per acre and another raises 80,
what chance has the 40-bushel farmer
af competing with the 80-bushel farm
er? It is barely possible that the 80
busbel farmer is the 40-acre farmer.
BIRDS EXCEL AS
WEED DESTROYERS
Some Songsters Depend Almost
Exclusively on Weed Seeds
—Crow Kills Mice.
Weeds, as well as insects, are ene- |
mies o? the farmer. Most weeds are
short-lived and depend for their con
tinuance on a prolific seed production,
i There is a class of birds that, in
maturity, feeds almost exclusively on
weed seeds, among which the gros
i beaks, goldfinches, native sparrows, j
quail and doves are the more im- I
portant. Probably the greediest seed
eating birds, according to Mr. Pratt,
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow. Their i
cousins, the English sparrows, how
| ever, can by no means be included in
the liet.
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
of a numerous class of birds, many of
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If it
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with ro
dents, according to Mr. Pratt. The
crow has his place for good as a de
stroyer of field mice and the farm owl
j is the night watchman who hunts
gophers, mice and 6nakes.
Not all hawks are useful. Those
that circle around in the sky and
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take their prey on
the wing, are ruthless destroyers.
Early Spring Pigs.
\ After being weaned, early spring
pigs may be run on alfalfa, rape,
clover or grain pastures with a sup
plemental feed of grain until some
crop is ready to hog off. During the
summer, mature crops of barley,
wheat and peas, with alfalfa or rape
pasture, will carry them until the
main crops are harvested.
They then glean the stubble fields
and feed on standing corn In the
field, roots, pumpkins, etc., until late
in the fall. They may be sold direct
ly from the cornfield cr may be fed
for a few weeks before being mar
keted.
Feed for Dairy Cows.
Dairy farmers are seeking a more
economical and dependable source of
feed for their cows, and gradually ex
perience is directing them to a more
liberal production of silage and af
falfa hay.
Plant in Spring.
Peaches, plums, cherries and all
stone fruits are to be planted in
spring.
Pen for Little Chicks.
A feeding pen for little chicks should
be centrally located where the chicks
can be run to it at any time, and
the older birds can not get at it. As
soon as a hen calls her chicks to get
a choice morsel, every hen in hear
ing runs to rob them of it.
Cost of Heifer.
In Connecticut the average net cost
to grow a heifer to two years is $66,
while in Michigan to grow steers to
one year of age and to a weight of
800 pound* costs $27.60.
