Peter Dailey, who brought joy to thousands during his lifetime, has been the means of brightening the future of at least one person after his death. When Peter Dailey died at Chicago recently, he left an estate of $60,000. to be divided between his brother and sister. The brother. Robert Dailey. an actor, was easily found, but more trouble was ex perienced with the sister. At last, however, the lawyers traced her to Danville. Penna. They found the sis ter.

The remedy for bad roads, it seems to me. lies wholly with the men who own property along them, says a writer in Outing. Elect no man to the position of overseer who does not understand how to make good roads out of poor ones. If there Is no such maa in your neighborhood, hire one from outside. Have your road tax paid in cash. Secure a skilled man. and let him assume responsibility for the work he undertakes. If you do this, yon stand in a fair way to solve the problem of good roads. Secretary Taffs Religion. secretary Tart assured a questioner lately that he was a Unitarian in re- Hsion. His father and mother were also Unitarians. The secretary's wife is a member of the Episcopal church. Bishop Will Donate Home. Bishop Wilson S. Lewis, who will retirs as the head of Morningside ccliege at Sioux City next November. has announced to the board of trus tees that at his departure he will present to the college his $10,000 J-en;e. which is located within two squares of the campus. Bishop Lewis was tendered a reception, at which l.t-OJ people, coming from Sioux City FROM HEAD TO and northwest Iowa, congratulated him oa his elevation to a bishopric ' i Superstition in Japan. Says the Kobe Herald: "A maa named Oshita Matsusaku, living at Yamano-mura. Shinxaki, has been ill since September last with a malady which tailed to yield to ordinary treat ment. During the present month his wife got into the hands uf two pro fessional exorcists, who persuaded her that her husband's trouble was due to the spirits of a fox and a badger, which were tormenting the unfortun ate man. Having been allowed to take charge of the ease, the two men built up an enormous charcoal fire, to which for six days they exposed the patient on the pretext of driving out the evil spirits. In addition, they poured boiling water over the sick man's back. The natural result was that the unhappy man's body became covered with burns and he is now in such a critical condition that it is mot exnected that he will recover- Not a "la that your dog. John?" queried the mistress with a smiling glance at the strange mongrel that hid behind the coachman's heels. "No, ma'am," replisd John, "he just come In this morning, and I ha vent got the heart to drive him away." "He looks like a cross-breed, doesnt he? returned the lady. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the assnrTRg rejoinder of John, "he isnt a cross breed. He Is a cheerful breed. He has done nothing but hang around and act happy ever since he came in." Home Magazine. Had Learned Something. "Ever notice it?" queried the party who propounds questions in sections. "Did I ever notice what?" asked the Innocent bystander "That the longer a man is married the less he dodges when his wife throws things at him?" said the in stallment interrogator. "Yes, I've noticed it," replied the L b, who had been up against the matrimonial game for several years. "He soon gets wise to the fact that there Is no danger if he doesn't move." Incorrigible. "In restricting their output and rais ins prices that corporation Is going sontrary to the law." "The law!" echoed the sad-eyed con sumer, "why, it doesn't even respect the law of supply and demand."

The ordinary method of growing ed clover Is to cut the first crop as soon as it is ia full bloom, and them taking chances of getting a seed crop from the second cutting. This is gen erally a chance and only a chance. Frequently the conditio, of the weather and the press of farm work delays the first cutting until the heads are all brown aad sometiaaes and then, unless there is a favorable season, there is mot time to mature a second crop before frost, which sometimes happens la the lati tude of central Iowa by the middle of September, earlier north and later south, but generally not until about October L Immense crops are sometimes grown in this way. Vat after an It is a chance. When Hover seed Is five dollars a bushel or under, the farmer will usually get more clear money by using this sec ond crop for pasture; or. if the seasoai is favorable, for roughage, by which we mean a second crop of clover hay. When clover seed rises to eight aad ten dollars, or, as this year. $14 a bushel, it is worth while to take some special measures to secure a seed crop. Two or three ways have been sug gested. One is to pasture the first crop until about two weeks before it would ordinarily be cut. which ia the central portion of our territory would be about the 10th of .June. This while it will not Insure a seed crop, will make it much more certain than the method usually adopted. When the acreage is small aad the farmer win give the time aad atten tion which it requires, says Wallace's Farmer, it is possible at least ia the southern half of our territory to take a crop of clover' hay and add tea or 15 days to the time allowed for maturing the seed crop. The ordinary methods of curing this clover hay will not be applicable at aO. It contains too much water and will have to be cured by curing it first in ths sun, stirring it frequently with the tedder, then putting it up in cocks, putting on caps and letting it cure out in the cock. The only question Is whether it is voh enough more for hay than for pasture, and this will depend on the condition prevailing oa the farm.
