Ilea talk of the secret of successful
adverUslag. bat it is all very plain. The
i sens! Is m are to offer what people
want, at fair prices, aad to offer it ia
a way that will make readers know
they want it. The art ia writing an

aad well-informed merchant
speak to a prospective customer.
The mere appearance of a business
man's aame sad address ia every issue
ef a leading newspaper will do work to
increase his trade. Every business man,
however, is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly ia a aewspaper is the prin
cipal secret of successful advertising.
The Mea that it takes a aumber of

His Revenge
AOsrifltsMis
It was Christmas Eve that year
when John Maxwell went away to
make his mark in this world; Alice
Tower was Just eighteen. They had
beea lovers for a.few years and were
now engaged. Something that she had
said to aim about the quality of the
present he brought to her on Christ
mas Eve piqued him. "Two years
from now." he said, "I will come back
to claim you. Thea I will be a rich,
man." These had been John Max
well's last words; and there had beea
a tire in his eye,- and certain lines of
determination about his mouth which
augured that he would make them
good. But the two years had passed
and six months more and Alice bad
heard ao word.
Sitting under the old apple tree one
warm May afternoon, she idly won
dered whether his silence gave her
pain or pleasure. When John had bid
den her good-by the thought of his re
turn had been the sustaining power
in the moment of his departure.
Though she had sfced bitter tears over
the story of his many failures; though
she had received with gladness the
knowledge of his first successes;
though she had once waited with im
patience for letters that did not come,
she now felt It to be almost a relief
nay, quite for two years is a long,
long time, and Alice felt that in two
years she had grown old not only in
years but in experience. Did -It not
make the difference between eighteen
and twenty? Surely, when one had
left their teens behind them It was
time to learn wisdom.
Ah!. Alice would not whisper to her
own thoughts that there had been an
other teacher; that aot so easy would
have beea the lesson of forgeffulnesa
bad aot another lesson been conned in
its stead. It was all a bewildering
maze ia the little head under the
masses of rich brown' hair, with just
a glint of red among them as the sun
gave them its -farewell kiss.
But a brighter red stole Into the
rounded cheek as a well-known step
drew nearer, and a shadow for which
the apple trees were not responsible
was thrown beside hers.
"Good evening. Miss Alice,'? said a
cheery voice, "I thought that I should
find you here. The evening is too
lovely for Indoor life."
'Yes," she aaswered, "It. Is . very
lovely.
"As It should be," he added. Ia low
er, more impressive tones, "to grace
your presence. Alice," he continued
throwing himself on the ground be
side her, "shall I tell you why I am
so glad to find you here? Because it
seems the most fitting place to tell
you something else, which, though
you must already know, it is fit that
I should put into words. They are
poor words, darling. I am aot versed
in eloquence; and even were I, here
eloquence might stammer. But they
are words old as the world itself. .'I
love you;' I have but one hope in life,
and that is, that you will share it It
is not much that I caa offer you, dear.
Perhaps I should say wait, before I
take you from your comfortable home.
But yet, why should L If you love
me, you will staad bravely by my side,
and we will share whatever storms
Ufe may have In store for us, as we
chare its sunshtaa. Al'ce, what is
your answer? Will you be my wife?"
Ah, it had come at last Once the
girl had tried to check the torrent of
Lis words: He had cut caught tts lit
tle, detaining hand in hia own strong
palm and held it tightly. The small
hcac had drooped lower. A bliort,
gasping sob was In her throat, letting
no word find its way there. What
was she to do? Two years ago she
had given another promise; two years
of toil and homesickness hal been
endured for her sake; but for six
months she had heard nothing. Per
haps John tad forgotten her as ah.
she had almost added, "as she had
forgotten him." But of John. Dent
Dexter knew nothing, aad Deat Dex
ter she loved. So It was, that when,
half wondering at her long silence, he
again :cpcated his question, ah simp
ly raised to him the sweet, fair face,
and content with what he read there,
he stooped' aad pressed his first kiss
upon the young red Ups.
Curiously enough, their wedding
day was set for Christmas Day, tha
third anniversary of Joha Maxwell's
leave-takiag. Dent wanted the event
fixed for a nearer date. Alice was
persistent Perhaps she had a special
reason for fixing the time so far
ahead. Poor Joha Maxwell! Maybe
she thought of him.
Ia all these weeks she had told him
nothing of John. Somehow she coald
not gather courage, to frame the
words. Aad John had forgotten her.
RVwould never know. It was better
that he should not Love m ever
Jealous, aad he might upbraid her, or
thlak evea while he had woaher that
she might prove inconstant to him as
to her first lover. Some day whea
she was his wife, his very own, she
would whisper the story iato his ear.
aad thea they would bury poor Joha
together.
Somebody has said it was had lack
for a bride to don her .wedding areas
before the wedding day. It was all
aoBsnaaa, Alice thought as later, she.
stood .before her mirror aad saw re
sected there her owa form clad to its
white silken robes.
Poor Joha! She wished she had aot
thought of him. as she stood la her
seiag dress. The air was very
atovy tonight It was this which op
nressud her so.
"Come ia." she called to the knock
t her door.

With a smile upon her Ups aad la

floor and turned the lamp so- that ita

breast Yes, she knew him now. It
was John, come home to claim her
for his very own. His voice was very
hoarse' when he spoke.
."I came for my bride." he said. "Is
she here? Is this dress -for me "
"Have pity," she wailed, la answer.
"Two years were such a long while.
For. six months I bad not heard. I
thought you were dead, or had forgot
ten me"
"Men do not forget" he aaswered.
"We leave that to the womea who un
do us. Six months! And it seemed,
to you a long' time to wait Child, do
yoa know what I have endured for
the reward of this moment? What
was hunger, toil, privation, .homesick
ness to me? I almost welcomed them,
for ever behind them all was the
thought that all were for you, for the
day which was slowly,' slowly creeping
on, when I might stand before you
and say: 'Alice, I have proved my
love with a price. You may accept it,
darling, without fear. It has been
purified through fire.' And when, six
months ago, my crowning success
came, I started in search of you; but
the long hardships had done their
work. For months I was at Death's
door, unable to write, or to let others
write. Then, when I grew stronger.
I said: 'I will wait until I can go to
her.' You were sheltereed, cared for,
happy aye, I was so mad as to thinK
praying for me I even thanked. God
that your prayers had restored my life
and reason. I am as the man who
toiled all his life in search of a glit
tering diamond, and when at length
he picked it up triumphant he discov
ered it to be a piece of shining glass."
"John, John! Forgive me," she
pleaded, clinging with both hands to
his arm, her face upturned In Its pale
beauty to his. I loved you then. Be
lieve me. I loved you then."
Through the open window stole her
words, paralyzing the form of an un
seen listener, who had at that moment
appeared upon the scene What did it
mean?
He heard not the man's answering
words "Forgive you? " Never!" but
saw only his last, mad, passionate em
brace as he snatched her unresisting
form in his arms and covered her face
with kisses which seemed half hatred
and half love, then released her and
went out into the night -
The next day a little, note was put
into John Maxwell's hand, and, as he
( tore it open, the strong man trembled
like a child. He had grown calmer
since the night previous, though all
the Joy and lightness had died out of
his life.
"You have had your revenge," she
wrote. "The man I was to marry saw
you take me In your arms, and heard
me say that I had loved you. Perhaps
I deserved my punishment, but it is very
bitter. Tou left, me two years, it you
had loved me you would not have done
so. I was a child, and I forgot you and
learned to love another. I no longut
ask you to torsive me, since you have
wreaked upon me your revenge."
His own life stretched bare .and
blank and desolate before him. For
a moment he felt a wild joy that so
hers might prove. The next after a
brief struggle, his manhood con
quered; His revenge should be some
thing nobler than a girl's, wrecked life
something which, after long and
lonely years; he might recall without
a blush of shame.
Dent Dexter was alone In the cot
tage he had prepared for his bride,
sitting with bowed head, when John
Maxwell sought him out The inter
view between themwas very brief;
but for .an instant .as they parted,
their hands met in a long, silent clasp.
One man had given happiness rone
had renounced It So the wedding
day was not postponed, but Alice's
fingers trembled as she again fastened
her wedding dress, and tears dimmed
her eyes "as she bent to fasten' the
orange blossoms In her breast on
.Christmas Eve.
She knew that Dent had taken her
back to his heart and home, that some
how all had been explained to him;
but quite how it all happened she
never knew until, a year later, her
husband bent over her where she lay
with her baby boy sleeping on her
breast, and told 'her all the story, end
ing with a proud glance at the child.
"He gave us our happiness, darling.
We will name our boy after the man
who wreaked on us such a revenge."
Christmas Aboard a Haa-wf-War.
Christmas day is- nowhere antici
pated with more pleasure or celebrated
more Jovially than among the jackles
on board the men-of-war. Wherever
the ship may be on Christmas, and
the navy is usually scattered all over
the world, the day Is invariably set
aside for a general Jollification. The
elaborate Christmas dinner, the dec
orating of the ship, the skylarking
and games have become tradition in
the navy.'. The omcers aad mea alike
all Jola in maklag the day a very
merry Christmas.
Where do all the - Christmas trees
come from?. In this country alone
millions of them are sold every Yule
tide and .year after-year the supply, is
equal to the demand. One would
think that after a time the forests
would be depleted of the young growth
of pines and fir aad spruce that for
the most vart comprise the evergreen
required by custom, but each season
the market contains the usual variety.
Maine aad Michigan are the principal
sources of supply.
For this remarkable feast of Christ
mas of the olden time a favorite Eng
lish dish was plum porridge. The'
Englishmen of the early ceaturies ate
his plum porride with a seat he might
well have saved for the more elaborate
dishes. After such a bowl of t porridge
as he consWered his portion
there is erasoa -to wonder where
he foaad place for his aftsr-ccrseav
In .the ceaturies loag gone .pium pot-,

meat on his side when he declares that
he cannot afford to pasture his mad.
But- at the coaveatioe ef-Dilaoss

fessor Curtlss,of the Iowa Agricultural
College, declared very emphatically la
favor of the nermaaeat paatare, He
declared that beef could be

8- The pastures should receive Zaf
alar attention every year, aa blae
pastures have a tendency to ram oat
if grazed constantly. The hast pas
ture land is that 'that has never seem
a plow.. He recited the fact that Eagr
llsh pastures are allowed to remaia
in grass for hundreds 'of years. He
renews his pastnres oy-disking aad
harrowing whenever the land, seems
to require It This work is done ia the
spring as soon as the frost is out of
the ground. ' '
It was urged by other mea present
that these old pastnres sometimes, get
too rich with the droppings from suc
cessive generations of animals.- Mr.
8. N. King said that he had a pasture
that had not beea disturbed for thlr-T
ty-five years, and during that time has
received' the manure from cattle, kosv
sea, sheep aad swine. In some places
now the grass is left -untouched, aad
the cattle will not eat It evea if it is
cut- and dried. He had formed the
opinion that the hind is too rich aad
should be plowed up. - Mr. McCutchea
said be had had a pasture that acted
that way, and he had overcome the,
difficulty by going over It with a disk
and harrow., '
.
Iowa conditions may differ essen
tially from those in Illinois,- but such
is probably not -the case. Whether
the permanent pasture be profitable
or not it Is. certainly in evidence on
every hand. For the most part, the
permanent pasture is the most neglect
ed land on the farm. Professor Curtiss
could not have had the average pas-'
ture In mind when he declared it prof
itable. Doubtless the permanent pas
ture that makes part of his theory
Is ose so well cared for that each acre
will' give 365 days' feea in a year. Such
a pasture may be profitable, evea oa
high-priced land.

- As. is known to many readers of the
Farmers' Review tomatoes and cu
cumbers are grown quite extensively
in greenhouse. Under these conditions
pollination by the wind and by Insects
Is out of the question. Visitors to the
University of Illinois have just now a
good opportunity of observing the pro
cess of pollination under artificial con
ditions. In the case, of both cucumbers
and tomatoes it -Is a simple task and
quickly completed. The individual
blossoms of cucumbers are fertilised
by their own pollen. The attendant
takes a silver teaspoon, places it under
an open blossom and taps it lightly.
A dust-like substance collects in
the spoon. Into this the attendant
pushes the pistils of the flower from
which he has just collected the pollen,
and the work is done. The cucumber
plant bears two kiads ot blossoms
male and female. The female plaat
shows a small cucumber formation
at the base of the flower. The male
blossom shows only a flower resting
on a globular base. The male flower
Is picked opened and shaken over the
female flower. .The rest Is left to Na
ture. a
The horticultural department of the
University is doing some good work
relative to spraying. Maps for illus
trative teaching are being made, show
ing good and bad methods of sprayiag
and good and bad ingredients used In
the process. One series shows Paris
green as .seen under the microscope.
In the pure article the particles ap
pear as small green globes. The bogus
article under the microscope shows
green crystals Instead of green globes.
One commercial substitute named
"Paragrene" consists of a few green
globes scattered through a mass of
worthless rubbish. The charts should
enable an Intelligent man to deter
mine, by .the aid of a microscope, , the
value of any lot of Paris green offered'
for sale. The charts that illustrate the
different processes of spraying, show
how a sprayed fruit appears when
seen through the microscope. The
leaf that has received the spray mist
is covered with particles of the solu
tion, evenly and thinly. The Improp

The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the followiag advice
as to the care of milk utensils:
1. Milk utensils for farm use should
be made of metal and have all Joints
smoothly soldered. Never allow them
to become rusty or rough laaide.
2. Do' not haul waste products back
to the farm in the same cans used for
delivering milk. When this Is un
avoidable, insist that the skim milk or
whey-tank be kept clean.
3. Cans used for the return of skim
milk or whey should be emptied aad
cleansed as soon as they arrive at the
farm.
4. Clean all dairy uteaslls by first
thoroughly rinsing them in warm
water; then clean inside aad bat with
a brush and hot water la which a
cleaning material is dissolved; then
rinse and, lastly? sterilize by boiling
water or steam. Use pure water oaly.
5. After cleaning, keep atenaOe la
verted in pure air, and sua if possible,
until wanted .for use. - .
. Up to the present time there has
been a keek demand for the services
of graduates of our dairy schools, espe
cially la the Uhe of creameries. There
have beea a great ssaay cresmeriea es
tablished duriag the last few. years,
aad these all demand skilled' mea for
butter-makers and managers. What
is the result to be finally if the coa
solidation of creameries goes osl? The
competition that Is - now -inlattat
production steads a good chance of
being eliminated altogether.
