Winter Cars of Hsuts Plants.
Besides tbe watering which their
roots need, winter house plants will
not thrive well without some v.. --
ture for their leaves, and this nr y be
supplied by placing aach day a bowl
of boiling water on tbe shelf in their
midst and by at least once a weak
spraying tbe foliage generously bcth
on the upper and under sides of 'he
leaves. They can be laid oa tLeir
sides In bathtub or link and tbe water
applied with a wataricg pot or a
shower hose.—Farm JournaL
Sorr.e Cows' Milk Too Rich.
Foods that are too rich eann t be
safely fed. An instance la reported
by a western dairyman that for sev-
eral years he lost the calves of bis i-est
cow because her milk was too rich.
After he discovered this fact be gave
the calves of that cow milk from cows
tbat was only medium In quality, aad
further losa from tbat source was
stopped.
one produ' iag the most melons of de-
klrable shape, size and flavor, is there \
any reason why be cannot In a fev.- !
years breed op a strain of melons
in , h superior to the average variety? :
It would certainly pay the man who
grows only a few melons for his own
use to do tbis, and It would Just as '
certainly pay the man who grows mei- !
ons on a hrge scalc. Nor would it pay
in the case of melons only, but in that;
of most other fit-Id and garden crop*.
There i-> not much really good seed to ,
be had. Too many gardeners think :
that they are necessarily getting seed ,
of high quality when they buy from u
edsnian, but a little investigation will
show that most commercial seeds are ,
grown with a view lo cbeapnt--.s rather j
than quality.

COUIIMl,
hi view of the feeling against the
mall order business which Is being ex-
pressed In the inl"rests of the local
merchants, a brief article iu System
on the origin of the mall older trade
Is highly Interesting. While the found
er of the buslii'-ss and others employ ed
therein are engugeil In a [icrfc.'tly le-
gitimate calling, (here can be no doubt
that this constantly expanding mall
order business Is a real octopus. It
reaches out its millions of tentacles to
the furthest corners of the country,
seizing and rnklng in the dollars which
should be left In circulation around
home. These dollars are the Ufeblood
of the community, and the mall order
octopus sucks them out of tbe commu-
nity's system.
Forty seven years ago, says Hystem,
s young man, then a clerk In a small
general store at Ht. Joseph, Mich., ob-
served with some satisfaction llmt res-
ident* of n,Iiny smaller towns mile*
distant could ba attracted from the
tradesmen of I heir own village to this
selling center.
Four years later, a* a salesman In a
Chicago mercantile bouse, he oliNervcd
with Increasing attention the number
of letti'i'i that came to this establish
uient hearing small orders from real-
dents of distant towns and from farm-
UMteMMUtles away Iu the agricul-
tural sections of southern Illinois, In-
diana. Iowii and Nebraska.
Another period of three years, and,
having served as a buyer and then con-
nected with a -St. I.ouis house, he stop-
ped at a town tliat stood us a county
nt in southwestern Missouri. lie
was iu a small store which had attain-
ed the Jiosltlon, despite the limitations
a to extenslvcness liiqiosed by Its ru-
ral location, of th* smart retailing con-
cern of the little city. Tbe proprietor
had Just Inclosed a small parcel in an
envelop*.
"Here, Jim," the latter called to a
clerk; "take this over to the postofflce.
It's for Mrs. Henderson, over at (ireen-
rldge. It * surprising," he continued,
turning to the visitor, "how the folks
over ut Greenrldge one of tho small
towns wltlilu u thirty mile radius-
slick lo me. 1 have u good many cu -
tomers over there. Home of 'em write
almost every week for goods. The
storekeeper over there doesn't seem to
hold his people very well. Uuess he
doesn't give satisfaction."
Ami these things, turned over In
tho mind of a until who ha* since
made millions In the mall order bust-
lies*, gave birth to the idea, then
crude In Us Imperfection, of retailing
direct to the customer by mall. If
these people- and tbe towns und the
agricultural reaches of the w est were
taking on u population of vigorous,
hardworking, ambitious folk who waul-
ed the best they could get for their
money would buy through letter out-
side tbelr own towns, mid at that with-
out uny special miiteiinl Inducement
being* extended (hem, why could not ii
trade be built up If tiie purveyor would
enter direct lo these people and offer
them attractive ndvuntage* of lower
prices, good service and honest goods?
"Here, Crane," said tbe chief, toss-
ing me a note, "Li a Job for yon."
Jar via. the bank robber that you're look-
ing for, ia golr.g to give you the silp by
leaving the country He tak<- the 10:30
train tomorrow for Philadelphia from the
Jerpey City Pennsylvania depot and will
sail trie name evening on a tramp atearn-
er. Ilia mother goea with him.
TIih note w-ss written in « woman's
band, and It seemed probable that
rfotne companion with whom he had
become antagonized had given him
away. I took an assistant along and
an hour before train time went to the
depot on the Jersey side and sat down
in the spacious corridor railed off from
tbe train* to wait and watch. Ten
minutes before train time a woman
about sixty years of age passed
through to the train, and as there was
something in tbe way she looked' about
her that attracted my attention, I con-
cluded to follow her, leaving Burton,
my assistant, to watch outside till the
train wa* about to start
The woman went Into an ordinary
.passenger coach and snt down, deposit-
ing her bundles beside her. She seem-
ed to lie anxiously looking for some
one, and when the train pulled out of
the station, that person not having ap-
peared, she made a frantic rush to get
off. Hut tbe train wus by this time
moving pretty rapidly and a brakeman,
catching night of her, stopped her.
7°hen she wi nt buck to her seat and
began to cry.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"My old man's gone and got himself
left. He was to meet me here to go to
I'biludelphy. I'm afeerd somcp'n's hap-
pened to him."
Glad of an excuse to inspect tbe pas-
sengers, 1 got up from my seat and
went Into the next car forward, where
I had posted Iturton. Directing him to
search the cars ahead I searched those
In rear. We both scrutinized every-
body, but when we met we had seen
no one answering the description or
exciting the least suspicion. I went
back to the old woman and told her I
feared her husband had really got left.
"What's the llrst stop?" she asked.
"Trenton, und that's tbe only stop of
this truln. Will you get out there?"
"I dtinuo. 1 dunno what to do."
The great danger ijovv was that our
man, if on the train, might elude us at
Trenton. 1 posted Burton In tbe for-
ward part of the truln while I took a
position In the rear, arranglug with
him tbat as soon as the train stopped
we were to Jump off, move back on the
platform to a point where tbose getting
on and off would not intercept our
view of each other and scrutinize every
one When the train rolled Into the
station we did as we had agreed, but
neither of us saw any one get off ex-
citing the least suspicion. We kept up
the watch till tiie conductor signaled
the engineer to pull out, and at the
moment we were about to step aboard
a well dressed gentleman whom we had
noticed on the train Immersed in his
newspaper Jumped from the car plat-
form and with the agility of a cat r.-in
to the exit. Quick as thought I si?
' naled Burton to get on the truin while
I turned nnd ran after the fugitive.
He led me quite a long cbase. and It
would have been longer had I not sig-
naled a cop on the street Just as tbe run-
ner passed him. This ended the pursuit.
As soon as I got him to the police
station I took out a photograph of Jar
vis and compared it with my captive.
There was nothing very rugged about
either man or photograph, though I did
not doubt from the resemblance that
the one was a likeness of the other.
The original was of a more delicate
cust of countenance than the picture,
but this I attributed to the refilling
makeup, which wa& for a geutleman.
"Well," he said despondeutly, "you've
got me. I done my best to beat you. I
couldn't stay any longer in New York.
You had me cornered."
1 was several days waiting for ex-
tradition papers from New Jersey to
New York. Just before 1 wag ready to
leave the matron of the Jail came to
me with a curious look in her eye.
"You won't be allowed to take the
prisoner out of the state on the papers
you have," Bhe said.
"Why not?"
"Because they call for a man."
"And whom do 1 propose to take if
not a man?"
"Well, If you take the person you
brought here it'll be a woman."
"What?"
"Jarrls sent for me this morning
and proved to me conclusively that the
papers coinmittlug him or her were
illegal, since they state the sex incor-
rectly. She demands her release."
Well, that ends the story. The old
woman was Jarvla himself, and my
catch was his sister, who resembled
him. [j A]
