While G. P. Wilson was laying sod around a flower in his steenth ward garden Saturday last, Mrs. jjWIlson put her head out of the window and said: "George, don't ou lay that sod until ou ha ve put it on the line and. dusted, it on the reverse side." Uncle Paul Johnson, a veteran of the civil war, who overheard this, was so overcome that medical aid had to be summoned.

JCe will replant this week and set a watch. Dispatches from Pierre telling of the high winds and dust storms state that John Carson's farmhouse was bombarded by potatoes during the dust storm I and every pane of glass on the southeast side broken -out. The high winds after denuding a field recently planted to potatoes, lifted the tubers themselves and iurled them violently thru the air.

George Frank's city cow had been in the stable at his Western avenue home all winter. When she was let out this last week and saw the fresh grass, her tail took the form of the inverted letter and she tried to turn a handspring. One horn as driven in an inch and a half and it is feared that she is otherwise sprained. A J. Smith's lilac bush had twin lilacs this spring.

I a. recent mroVber of the "Vera uion, S. Bepublican, Will Chamberlain has a rhapsody on "Farm Life in Dakota" from the rising of the hired man at early candle light to the glorious breakfast prepared by Tina, the fai ry of the farm. The story goes somethi ng like this: All around the little farm I wandered, When I was young Then many happy days I squandered, Many the songs I sung. Candle light in an upstairs bedroom.

The hired man dresses slowly, yawning drearily. Now the lantern blinks and its bearer goes forth to chore. Gradually, one by one, the family follows the lead of the farm trailmaker, and soon a slight confusion from a certain quarter giv es notice that Tina, the girl of the $3 per week and few afternoons and evenings out, is in the realm of the living. She, too, rises slowly and. wearily, pausing, perchance, to glance At a bewitching reflection in the mirror of her dresser, a reflection which many a court lady or a queen mig ht envy with good taste and reason.

Thru her neatlyscreened window she sees the light in the cowshed window and a flush of secret happiness mantles her clear brow as she reverts mentally to some maiden fancies in which a mustached young farmworker is a centerpiece. Almost before the story can be jotted in thought, Tina is clattering the lids of the range down stairs. Ere long thru the rooms drifts that cheerful, resonant, snappy murmur of coffee grinding. There's grander music flowing Before the footlight s' glare, Prom old Kentuck's plantations To Bhine-taught anthems rare, Than this soft, morning cadence Of jerky, wordless rhyme, But I slyly love the rondel Of coffee-grinding time. Follow in mind's eye the flitting figuie ot Tina making ready the farm breakfastgriddlecakes, ham, eggs and steaming coffee.

The princess is not only the good -wife and mother, noble woman and devout Catholic which the pope requires in her who shall win this wondrous token. She is also a skilled physician, and one whb puts her knowledge to use the'service of her poor the Brussels hospitals. The rose is a miinie plant of pure gohfTits stem and leaved superbly chased and strewn with sparkling diamond dust in imitation of the morning dew. I is set in a golden pot emblazoned with the papal arms, the exquisite case in which it is inclosed bearing together with the papal arms those of the recipient. The plant consists of leaves, buds ande central fjp flowers, and into the th pope pours rose bal we gam on the occasion of blessing it.

The haunting belief that the rose brings ill-luck is traceable to the ftrange series of misfortunes that have attend ed former recipients.

Pour in a pint of boiling water seasoned with salt and. pepper, and a tablespoonful of melted butter. Pit on the top crust quickly, make a slit in it, and put the pot where the contents will simmer slowly for two hours.

Turn out upon a large heated platter, having the pie in the center of the dish and the gra vy about it. A popular bread for breakfast is German shortcake. One way of making it is to take one quart of flour, add one tablespoonful of lard, two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a saltspoonful of salt. Mix all the ingredients with the flour and add enough milk to make a soft dough. Roll into two sheets, put in pie plates, allowing it to come up on the sides a little, sprinkle with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

OLD country couple strayed into the Manchester, art gallery, catalog in hand, and were wandering from room to room looking at the pictures, which were numbered anewone, two, three and so on in each division, instead of continuously thruout the whole exhibition. The two old people stopped in awe and admiration "before Madox Brown's heroic pie- ture, "The Death of King Lear." "What's this 'un, Jinny?" asked the old man.

A '11 JargeA '11 see, ef '11 give me a The old la dy hastily turned to the catalog division of another room, and read off the number corresponding to that of the picture before them. It chanced to be that of Landseer's famous picture of a collie fallen over a cliff and just reached by the anxious shepherd, who announces the result of his examination of the poor beast's injuries to his comrades on the xocto aToove.

BRYANT is the wealthiest negro in Georgia. owns nearly 2,000 acres of the finest farming land in the central part of the state and is reputed to be worth about $100,000.

Bryant has the respect and confidence of many influential whites, and his credit with banks and mercantile houses is practically unlimited. pays no attention to politics and has outspoken contempt for the professional negro officeseeker. HOME OF "THE ICE KING." ARLES W. MORSE, the ice king, has decided to erect a $3,000,000 palace in Fifth avenue, New York. With the land and furnishings, the total cost of this home will be about $5,000,000.

Only one other home among the houses along Fifth avenue represents a greater outlay than that proposed by Mr. Morse. That is the Cornelius Vanderbilt place at Fifty-eighth street. vil' 1 THE OIISTIS WEDDING GOWN Some of the most interesting wedding finery that can be seen outside lace and costume collections in public museums is laid away in a colonial house in Georgetown, 0 This house belongs to Mrs. Bever ly Kennon, and she possesses the entire wedding outfit Martha Custis wore when she became Mrs.

George Washington. Mrs. Kennon is the granddaughter of Nellie Custis, and when she was married she wore the gown her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother had worn before her. It is doubtful the gown ever again will adorn a bride, but when Mrs. Kennon celebrates the anniversary of Martha Custis' wedding to the father of his country she dons the rare old yellow satin and lace, and even puts on the jeweled stomacher and pointed satin slippers.

The dress is of heavy, large figured brocade, once snowy whi te but now golden wfth age. The pattern is a familiar one in the pictures of Martha Washingtonbunches of roses with large-leafed vines between the clusters. Mrs. Custis wore a bonnet of generous proportions when she was married for the second time, and this, her handkerchief, gloves and fan are treasured by her great-granddaughter and displayed with loving pride. AIT ATTRACTIVE GOWN I UCNEN.

There is often a question in the mind of the home dressmaker as to how that effect of smartness, which is seen in the creations of the fashionable modiste may be realized in her own modest attempts. It is due largely to the old adage, "Practice makes perfect," et in some instances the home dressmaker may reach that height of style in her go wns because of the designs chosen, me of these is portrayed nere. The fashi on for hand embroiaery was never more intense than at present, and it is so dainty and attractive that few will be without some of it on their gowns. The gown shown is simply made and well adapted to development by the home sewer. The body portion of the dress may be of linen or batiste, while the all-oveT embroidery may serve for yo ke and cuffs, and the wi de bands of embroidery to match adorn the skirt and waist front.

These may be edged with a narrow fulled lace or be left plain. I the medium size the pattern calls for yards of thirty-six-inch goods for the entire gown. Two patterns, No. 6477Sizes, 32 to 42 inches bust measure No. 6301sizes, 20 to SO inches waist.

MINNEABOLIS-JOURNAL. Viewsifyfa Rich Matt HAD an interev ting conversation a few days ago with one of Korth Dakota's wealthiest citizens. He is worth ptfrhapB half a million dollars, at least he acknowledges that much. BLe is a big, ruddyfaced, grizzle-haired, masterful fellow, only 43 years of age. I approached him on a business proposition first.

This, I could see, was the talent that brought him his wealth. wielded such powerful language, backed up with a mighty will power that simply beat to the ground all opposition.

"Which," I asked, "you or I get the most fun out of life?" "Why, I do, of course," he replied. I ha ve more fun than you ever thought of having." "In what way!" "Well, I travel some, hunt, fish and well, I-I-what- ever I feel like he said. "But isn't it true that your business has such a hold upon your time you cannot afford to spend much time in this way?"

AFFORD IT. James Hunter, who for many years fed the weary traveler at the Canadian hotel at Drayton, but who has long ago gone to his reward, weighed when in good health and spirits, 260 pounds. Mr. Kibbee, who for many years sold medicine and barn paint in Drayton, weighed 113, dressed. One summer both of these gentlemen lay sick with typhoid fever.

The same doctor attended them and after the fever had done its worst and beef tea as allowed to gurgle down their throats, the physician told Mr. Kibbee that his friend, Mr. Hunter, had lost 115 pounds. The patient felt under the clothes for a few minutes and said, with a sight of relief: "Doc, it's lucky I did not lose that much if I had I would have to borrow two pounds." Grafton, Record. JOKE ON THE STEEL TRUST.

WEAB YOUB SOUL COLOR After a long period spent in studying the cult of the Babists in Persia, Mrs. Alfred Clifford Barney has returned to her home in Washington. She and her daughter, Miss Alice Elsa Barney, have a large fortune, but they have adapted the simple life of tho Babist sect.

They live on uncooked food and give much of their possessions to aid in spreading the faith. One of the most interesting things Mrs. Barney learned abroad is that one should dress according to the color of one's soul. It is a surprise to the unilluminated to know their souls have colors. Most wom en have found it hard enough to find colors that suit their bodies.

ut Mrs. Barney and all her cult long ago learned that souls have hues and that a woman must wear only the shade which matches her soul, or there will be mental and spiritual confusion. If one wan ts to be on the safe side in choosing one's gown, the best way is to take a course of training under Babist. May be the time is coming when modistes will have color charts for every customer. AUTO HUNT FOE ANTIQUE Possible encounters with brigands is the price which Mrs.

Larz Anderson is willing to ay for some genuine mission furniture for her Italian palace in Boston. The Andersons are now merrily started on an automobile trip thru Spain. Mrs. Anderson has mapped out the whole trip and wan ts to discover many new roads and quaint villages. They are planning to take in untried mountain roads frequented by brigands.

The reason for this is Mrs Anderson's quest of curious and genuine mission furniture, and" she has hunted up several obscure monasteries and convents, and will try to prevail upon the inmates to part with their treasures.
