EWE AULINE and Polly Peters, enter‘ P prising twins, aged seven, had just seen a wedding for the first time in their short lives, and were engaged in repro- ducin g the event to the best of their re- membrance. ' Pauline, with a preternaturally sol- emn air, held a last year’s almanac in her hand and figured as the officiating clergyman, while Polly, with a piece of mosquito netting over her head and a bouquet of bachelor bpttons in her hand, was the bride. ' The most impressive part of the cere- mony, to their minds, was the throwing of rice and old shoes after the depart- ing couple, and the insurmountable difficulty of introducing this feature into their reproduction caused them much distress. A bride, Polly complained, couldn’t "well throw rice at herself, and, as Paul- ine thought it needed a hack or some kind of a. conveyance to make the thing complete, it was at last reluctantly de- cided to omit this most interesting part of the marriage. The wedding procession, conspicuous for a trifling oversight in the matter of a. bridegroom, was on the point of start- ing down to the barn, where the event was taking place, when a young man drove into the yard, and, hitching his horse, rang the bell to inquire for the twins’ grown up sister. For a minute the children gazed at each other as the door opened to re- ceive him, then a brilliant idea. struck them simultaneously. Off Polly’s'veil and down went Paniine’s book. ' "That’s Charley Bingham come to take sister to ride,” gasped Polly danc— ing up and down in delight. a .. “I know it,” said Pauline, excitedly; “and we haven’t a minute to lose. You run right. up to the house and get all the rice you can and I’llborrow some of the neighbors.” ‘ “0, Mrs. Herrick,” she panted breath— lessly a few seconds later as she rushed into that lady’s door, “won’t you please let me have some rice?" 2 “Why, child, what do you wan. of rice? You are not having a wedding at your house, are you?” “Yes, ma’am,» and please hurry, or it will be too late.” ‘ “But who is it for?” “For Sister Sue,” shouted Pauline, who was in too much of a hurry to stop for elaborate explanations, and raced back to meet Polly, who had had the good luck to find a bag of the stuff which the grocer had left on the kitchen table. “\Vell, haven’t they kept that pretty quiet?” inquired Mrs. Herrick of her caller, 'Mrs. Smith, as she picked up her knitting, and both ladies drew their chairs to the windows on the side next to the Peters’ house to watch the course of events more closely. “There goes Parson Hildreth!” ex- claimed Mrs. Smith; and sure enough that reverend gentleman was seen com— ing down the steps next door, having made a call upon the twins” father. “I thought that would be a match sometime; but what are those children doing now?” Pauline. and Polly, in their stocking feet, were tying white hair ribbons to the horses’ foretops, and two pairs of small shoes were seen dangling under . the carriage. They had barely finished ‘tying the last knot and skipped into the barn after their bags of rice when. Mr. Bingham came out to get his team. He was a desperately shy young man and not especially observing. Being slightly agitated, too, it is doubtful whether he would have noticed had his horse turned into a prancing zebra dur- ing his absence, and it is not strange that the ribbons and other decorations failed to attract. his attention. l‘x'etty Miss Susie l’ctcrs next up- 0 hop pint-c in the carriage, gm l::'-.l just gathered up .z-ulary to u start- when ' - enw‘lnped them, (:IE'i " wood share aura-d to tal: KI ~y_ 1.

So saying, he rushed out, and striding up street met by chance the lady who had been visiting Mrs. Herrick that afternoon. . _ “Heard about the wedding?" asked him, as he drew near. “No; but was just going to find out about it,” he answered. “Young Bing- ham and Susie Peters, wasn’t it?” “Yes"; 'I was next door during the ceremony, and it wasthe quietest; thing in the way of a wedding I ever heard of.” “Who married them?” "Parson Hildreth, and he'was the only .person there outside the. family. I don’t believe their nearest neighbors would have known anything about it if it hadn’t been for the twins. They were she on hand with the rice and old shoes and ‘ gave the couple a good sendoff.” “What was her dress?” queried Dodge, jotting down the points as fast as his garrulods: informant brought- them out. . F “White duck skirt, pink shirt waist, and a plain white sailor hat. She looked real sweet, but no one would suspect- from her dress.” ’ ' Mr. Peters was among the first that afternoon to get the paper, but without :stopping to look at: its contents he wendc-d- his way home and tossed the sheet into his wife’s lap. “I-Iere, mother, is the Illuminator,” his favorite name for the Clipper; “Where are the twins?” “I put. them to bed,” said Mrs. Peters, unfolding the paper, “that they might realize how naughty they were this afternoon, but- 0! what is this ?——- _‘Bingham—Petlers,’ ” and with wide, dis- tended eyes—horror, indignation, and amazement in. her whole attitude, she began to read the news while it was .news and decidedly fresh. “A pretty home wedding took place this afternoon! at the residence of our esteemed. fellow-citizen, Mr. John E.

THE' EVEIVLNG oaz’n'rrnv MISS ESTELLE REEL. A, Charming Young Woman Whole Life \Vork Is the Thorough Edn- cwtion of Indians. Miss Estelle Reel. the first woman to hold the office of national superin- tendent of Indian schools, is now in- specting schools in Kansas and Indian territory. The commissioner of Indian affairs appointed Miss Reel last sum: mer. At that time she was Superintend- ent cf schools in Wyoming. In dis- charging the duties of that office and in her travels in the west she had become ' familiar with the Indians and their ed- ucational needs. Under h-er‘direction IVIISS ESTELLE REEL. Superintendent of Indian Schools.) (Natnonal an institute for the teachers of Indian schools was held at Colorado Springs. early last fall. The institute will meet this year at Los Angeles, Cal, at the same time that the- 'ational Education- al association convenes in that city. Miss Reel believes the Indians capable of great development. The government is doing great. things for them in the 500. schools set apart for their use. Of the. 500,000 Indians in the United States 50,000 are of school age. that-is needed most is manual training, and it is needed in every grade. of the schools. Miss Reel is now introducing this fea- ture of work. Talking of Indian work. Miss Reel said: “The Carlisle school in Pennsylvania. and theHaskell school in Kansas are the best-known Indian insti- tutions. Their graduates make good men and ewo’men. They do not return to their blanket after being graduated, as has been said. There may be a. few such cases, but statistics show that 76 per cent. of the graduates make good use of their knowledge. CHICKEN THIEF CURED. How a \‘Vi-de-Avvake Chicago Suburb- anite Broke a Pet Dog of a I’ernic‘ious Habit. A resident of Morgan Park, who was recently induced to move to that Chi- cago suburb, longed for a dog. A mas- tiff wasthe thing; magnificent, great creature, a splendid protection for his wife against tramps by daylight, while :he was at work, and a guaranty of peace “and slumber at night. A friend hap- pening into his ofiicc said he had a mas- tiff puppy and a bargain was made in- stantly. The pup immediately began to establish his popularity. First his owner’s family was won by his playful friendliness and then‘ the neighboring community gradually yielded to tl e wag of his tail and the softness of his \/ l l” /,’ l‘l‘ly/u W .x .xwy, in}; — - :. ~31; %::’7/ / CURING A BAD DOG. (Everywhere the Puppy Went, the Hen Was Sure to Go.) cyes. But about the time of the ad- vent ef Mr. ll ’5 pup, says the Chi— eago News, chickens in the park began to die. They were found lying aboutin great numbers and finally self-elected detqgtives traced the feathers to the kennel of B .’s pup. Mr. B— was heart—broken, everyone was greatly attached to the dog, and he was reluctant to dispose of him. Yet he could not aiford to pay for all the chickcrs in a thriving suburb. Finally, a solution of the difficulty pre- sented itself. Coming home early one afternoon he caught the mischiefmaker standing over an old hen. Mr. B—- took the. hen home, and, tying its feet to a strong rope, attached it securely to the dog’s collar. Everywhere the puppy went the hen was sure to go and after three days the dejected coun- tenance of the dog told Mr. B——— that a cure had been effected. Aztec Girls Are Cliamulng.

Neat “lay of Trell'lslng filackcfip‘l Raspberries Fully Described . i and Illustrated. ' Said alfarmer friend who is very pren: cise 'and‘ particular in all his work: “My wife wants me to set some black; . cap raspberries, but they are so thorny, and struggle around so much that 1 dis-' like to have them around. The time 'spent in hand hoeing and bothering, saying nothing about the scratching,- makes me tired. But she is certain she wants them, and I shall have to set out. some of the pesky things.” I suggested drying'the plants for a‘ ' few days before setting out as a short way out of the difficulty. “Oh, my wife is too sharp for that,” he replied; “she will attend to the set« ting herself before the plants have been delivered 15 minutes, and she will know, too, whether the plants are fresh or not.” . I saw at once that his wife was not .to be trifled with. and proceeded to give him some hints about trellising‘ ‘ his bushes after a fashion practiced by an English gardener who began his American experience about the time the Doolittle raspberry was brought out, more than 40 years ago. . He set his plants about five feet apart and between each two pair of plants he set a. stake six feet high. The canes were allowed to grow at will without pinching and naturally arched over as wild canes may be seen to do in the woods. Half the canes were heat each way against a post and fastened with bits of soft leather tacked to the post as grapevines are fastened to a build- ing. They were not fastened in a close bundle, but spread up and down the 'post for a. foot or more, as shown in ‘Fig. 1. When the season was favorable they would reach the ground and then the tips could be layered if wanted. In the spring the ends were cut back for enough to prevent the fruit’s get- ting dirty, and nothing more was done until after picking, when the oldwood was cut away and loosened from the posts and the new wood fastened in place, it having previously grown at will. A plantation kept in this way had the rows snug and narrow until nearly picking time, when the new as shown in Fig. 2, but as cultivation was stopped during July this did not mat- ter. This probably would not pay for ‘the commercial grower, but for the careful amateur would be both neat and novel.——L. 1}. Pierce, in Ohio Farmer. ‘ ORCHARD AND GARDEN. Give the young orchard good culti- vation until the tree comes into bear- ing. In pruning the gooseberry and cur- rent prune to secure a spreading, open head. Powdered hellehore, either dry or in solution, is a sure remedy for the cur- rant worm. For all leaf—eaters the spray may be used as soon as the first leaves appear on the trees. Newly set strawberry plants should not be allowed to bear fruit; pinch off the blossoms. To propagate blackberries cut the .roots into pieces two or three inches long and plant them. , . There is no advantage in planting the tender varieties of vegetables until all danger of frost is past. A little wood ashes around each strawberry plant will help insecuring more and better fruit. One of the best ways of destroying weeds on the lawn is by cutting off close and applying turpentine. " In nearly all cases it is best to leave the mulch on the strawberry bed until after the fruit has been harvested. With blackberries and raspberries it is a good plan to give thorough cultiva- tion during the early part of the season. While clover cannot be excelled for seeding d0wn an orchard, it should not be done until the tree’fiéare in bearing. By planting all small fruits in long rows the work of giving clean cultiva- tion can be done much more economic- ally. Curled leaf in the peach is a disease of a fungus character. It develops usu- ally after a cold spell, followed by a period of warm weather. It is only in exceptional cases that it'is advisable to keep trees or plants mulched all the time. In the spring it is often best to-remove the mulch and cultivate. One good remedy for * mildew on gooseberries is to spray with potassium sulphide at intervals of ten days or two weeks during the season.——St. Louis Re- public. ___.____.-———‘— Quality Sucriliced toSlzc; Too much attention is being given to size of fruit. Strawberries are grown of mammoth size. and every year ‘some new variety is brought out, for which it is claimed that it “excels all others in size." In the meantime there is a sacrifice of flavor. and quality. Fruit growers who ship strawberries to mar- ket prefer a variety thatwili stand ship- ment well, but for home use it should be the. object to grow the varieties of the ‘oe’st quality, making size secondary. But fr-w varieties equal the flavor otthe wild kinds. which are amnll as a rule.
