"No, I'm aura I can't sir. There's a
number of pianos about here," ahe
said, smiling a little, "and a number
of people who think they can sing. I'm
afmid I can't help you, but I'll try "
She pointed out houses near by.
Ha went down the steps and looked
around, beginning to doubt himself.
Ho wondered if he had dreamed it,
the whole alfalr.
i could not free his mind from the
that he had heard the lost song.
Ha debated the matter, and decided to
atort onward to his rooms, and bad

Ha would not give up. The neigh-
borhood might get suspicious and have
him locked up, or a policeman might
bo called to examine him. It was rath
er unusual for a young fellow to be
going from house to house asking if
aome ona there had been singing a
aong of which he knew not the title
nor tha tuna, otber than a strain or
two.
Ha determined to try it, however,
and so be began. He went to four
houaea, but got no response; he tri*;d
four mora.
Finally, aven as he expected, a po-
liceman appeared on the scene, bav
lng baen summoned by aome one who
had said tha young man was Intoxi-
cated.
Leland proved that he was not, con-
vinced tha man of hla sanity; and
naked the officer's advice. The latter
waa ovidently reached by the story
and be said in his soft Irish "Ef ye
can whistle a bit o' the tune. lad. why
not? Jeat the parte ye know! Walk
up an' down, an' if anyone says a
word, I'll aay a word, provided ye
don't do it too long.''
Leland undertook the plan. He

Ho whiatled It again, and this time
there waa a quaver in it- -a—quiver of
lost hope. Leland turned away, des-
pairing.
"Hark ye, lad!"
Vfclnt and clearly, a whistle had
canght up the strain and was carry-
lag tt on to a finish.
Loiand waa shaking with eagerness.
"It"a the song! the song!"
"Dont get too sure it'a your gal,

Some young men from Boston J
applied to an old fisherman up in
the country to see if he could
get some bait. He thought he'
could, and started off. Three!

worm?. The boys were alarmed i
lest there should not be money
enough in the party for such a;
wealth of bait, but they put on a
bold front and some one asked:.
"How much do we owe you?"
"Well, don't rightly know,";
answered the old man; ''the i
grountl is kinder solid and the
worms are far down, and it's
been hard on my back to dig 'em.
but I've half a mind to go tishin'
myself tomorrow, an' if you'll i
give me half the bait we'll calh
it square."

Need Another Gin.
The Wetumka Gazette says that,
notwithstanding the town has three
cotton gins, latt year -trings of wa;-
ous a quarter of a mile long formed.
e have not any assurance that we
are going to continue to have it all
uurlng the year. The way to give
1 ops moisture during dry periods is
to store up tins moisture in the
. icund during the wet periods. It can
iben be used by the plants during the
periods of no rainfall.
If there is one thing that we would
like to impress upon every farmer aiu;
'imk grower in Oklahoma at this
uie, it is to put the lid on the moist-
ure supply while we have it. We have
ist one way to do this aud that is by
cultivating the surfate of the soil to
-prevent evaporation.
V blanket of loose dirt on tbe sur-
• . e helps to prevent the escape of
moisture which may be in tbe sub
i ll aud which, in the form of vapor
—> apes continually unleea prevented
by a loose surface through which tbe
upor will uot pass readily.
Every farmer should take a lesson
from the dry. hot weather of the part
'w<> .eeks, and should hold every
lift!.- bit of moisture which falls by
trei| 'lent, shallow, pulverizing cult
vation Take tbe long poiuted shovels

miplt meats that will pulverise the
surface of the soli without cutting off
i he plant roots or opening up the soil
o deep as to dry It out Instead of re-
taining the moisture. Drag a weight
between itie iowb, pulverise the sur-
face and create a dust mulch; begin
' nltivation as soon after rains as pos-
sible Hold the moisture when you
get it. because you will surely get

This is the time fur the Social-
ist propagandist to get in his
work with the information that
there are but two parties and
two classes the laborers and
the labor skinners. The capital-
ist party cannot sprve Iioth the
interests of the laborers and the
labor-skinners. Neither can the
workers party represent both
tbe interests of the workers and
the labor skinners. It is then
merely a matter of deciding to
which of these parties a man ac-
tually belongs, and the work is
done.
When a working man gets a
union card in one hip | ocket and
a Socialist card in the other he
is then in possession of the
weapons that the capitalist class
fear more than automatic revol-
vers, Winchesters or clubs.,
With these weapons we can win
for our class the privileges now
enjoyed by the ruling class- lib-
erty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
