"fl The two young men first met in Chica- go. where Vernon had aposition as a clerk. Eugene Kelly, Jr., took a fancy to him 'and was much in his society. After re- turning to New York Mr. Kelly was much surprised to receive in December a letter signed by A. E. Petzer, who represented himself to be a Chicago undertaker. The letter contained the information that. Frank Vernon had died from hasty con- .fiuxnption and the funeral arrangements had been placed in Petzer’s hands. Ver- non hud died pennilvss, the writer said, and unless somebody paid the funeral ex- nses. unmunting to $108, the body would . buried in potter's field. V, Mr. Kelly at once forwarded the money to the undertaker in a letter asking'for further details and arranging for the dis- posal of Vernon’s efl'eets. As A. E. Pet- zer, the undertaker. Vernon, it is even-ed, got the check, cnslwd it and enjoyed the procu-ds. and Mr. Kelly never rem-ived any resumw *4 his kind letter.

Vernon became known to the police of tho city a little more than a year ago through a swindle that he perpetrated on Eugene Kelly, Jr.~, son of the well known bank: and millionaire philanthropist who died last chmber. The man was arrested, and his picture Was taken for the rogues" gallery. Young Vernon first appeared at the Marlborough about two months ago, not as a guest, but as an applicant for assist- ance. He was a modest, good looking lit- tle fellow, and his hard luck story was told in an earnest and convincing fashion. It took young Vernon but aday to blos- 8011) into a. howling swell, radiant in store clothes and diamonds, and when the fracas owurred he looked like a millionâ€" airc‘s son equipped for social conquest. Riley Graimixh. to whose friendiy Edd-mg advice Vernon ascribed his sudden acces- sion to wealth, denied that he knew the FRANK VERNON. pat-ed his retreat in that direction. She sailed into him with the fury of a cyclone and sw ~pc him across the sidewalk in a storm of humus and kicks straight into the open door of the waiting cab. Bcfore the astonished crowd of guests, clerks and bellboys could fairly realize what. had happcncd the vanquished Ver- non was driven away, still struggling foc- bly in the clutches of his energetic little conqueror. Sevcml of the hotel clerks took an inter- est in the youthful stranger and helped him with small loans. Matters ran along in this way until one day young Vernon walked up to the hotel desk, and tossing a roll of bills to the cashier said: “You see, ” said he, “I received a. re- mittance of $100 this morning from a re- lative in Lexington, Ky., and acting on my friend Riley Grnnnan’s advice pulled off this roll. Now I’ll trouble all around hem who helped me in my time of need to put in their claims.” The Stately blond smoothed down her rufl‘icd plumage, pocketed the broken han- dle of her parasol and stalked away with- out a glance at the gaping crowd. “ Yuu will find 37,000 there. Kindly put it, in the safe for me.” But the brunette was waiting for him on the threshold, evidently having antici- “Go easy. Wow!” howled tho sufi’cring and :zsn,»11nded youth as hr dodged another clutch and made for the door. As quick as lightning she shot out her left hand, swept away the shattered straw hat and plucked out a bunch of Mr. Ver- non’s carefully arranged hair. "Go easy. Wow!” howled the sufi'ering Vernon had reached 'the center of the ofico when the storm broke. The big blond glided up behind him, swung her trusty sun shade high in the air and broughn is do“): with a. resounding whack on thv youth’s right ear. An hour slipped by before the unsus- pecting Vernon strolled in, smoking a cig- arette and flicking dust from his dainty patent leather shoes with a perfumed silk handkerchief. The women arose as he unconsciously advanced to his fate. One was a stately blond and her companion a buxom brunette. The light of battle glit- tered in their eyes, and the gloved right hand of each gripped the handle of a tight;- ly rolled parusol. The scene of Mr. Vernon’s sufi'ering was the reading room of the Hotel Marlbor- ough, which was entered by two well dress- ed young women, who arrived in a. cab. When told that Mr. Vernon was out, they serenely took possession of two chairs in the men’s reading room within ten feet of the main entrance. The dullness of Gotham was varied one afternoon last week by the chastisement of a 19-year-old youth named Frank Ver- non by two young and muscular women. .Ponnced Upon In a New York Hotelâ€"The Victim Mex-ed but a Feeble Resistance.

The greatest disap- pointment in the use of ensilage has come to those who have been careless or indiflerent in making itâ€"George E. Nowell in American Crdtivator. As fine samples of ensilage as I ever saw were fermented under the. latter canditions, but the__ com .was carefully packed well weighted and made prac- ticaliy airtight. . What do you suppose I had fallen over? An elephant. A circus had been passing along the road, and the elephant hm} hm- kon from its keeper, and after running 35112ng QiSL-QDCQ had stopped, and I had walked right into him. The old fellow had swung his trunk around at that mo mom, and if he had been in a bad humm he would have picked me up with it, and I might have had an uncomfortable qua: ter of an hour. and of packing the fodder in closely. For both facility in removing and con- venience in packing solidly. the canes are usually chopped up into short sec~ tions. This mode, by no means, how~ ever, precludes the perfect preservation of fodder put in whole; A little further up the road I saw lights moving and heard the shouts of men. Ovex the din of voices arose the awful howls of some animal. I thought I had an attack of nightmare. I was so frightened I could not move, and I could feel the thing I had run into swaying to and fro. In a few seconds I became composed enough to ste) back a few paces and wait until the men with the lights came up. The admittance 6f ‘ air in such places spreads min to the contents for a wide area about them. Such losses are purely unnecessary, as is also‘tho‘loss of a deep stratum ef silage at the top. I started to walk across the mad and ran head first into the most singular object I had ever felt. I put my hands against h and felt that it: was some substance that gave. In seemed like a wall of canvas, and just; then snnmthing like a snake struck me in the face. Second, the whole silo. should be ex- amined for any possible crevices or air- holes before filling begins. I am sur- prised at the poorly constructed silos one often sees, and also tosee them sometimes filled where they have been badly strained by previOns packing, a brace or tWo on the outside being the only evidence of repair. Don’t ignore'the principle of making the silo as pearl): ainight as possible Dairymen should remember several important points in the procedure. First, the pit should be made sweet and clean before the fodder goes into it. If you throw the silage into a. musty, foul place, the fermented feed will partake of that characteristic next winter. It. was terribly dark, and there were no street lamps. Iwns walking along at a goud gain hcmuse I had an engagemeni and was a little late. Farny, the artist, tells a story of the gm-utcss fright of his life.

She suddenly looked around and said tostily: “Don’t. you know better than that? The Wind is blowing right; on her head, and she will catch cold. Take her down rigln away.” Patiently the man shifted the little one, holding it this time up against his breast so that its head rested on his shoulder. But the window behind him was open, and the anxious one noticed it almost immedi ately. "Now, ain’t: you ashamed of yourself?’ came from the woman. “Don’t you know that riding backward will make her sick?" “Don’t; hold the baby that way. Thar wind blowing in her face will give her the colic.” The baby was turned around so that it: back was toward the fronts of the car. A young couple got aboard at St. Louis avenue, the woman carrying two small valisos, one umbrella, a. box of lunch, a baby‘s cloak, a purse and a fare, and the man carefully handling awell wrapped 11;; baby, apparently about 6 months old. When the man sat down, he carefully placed the baby on his lap, only to be greeted with: ‘ne Might Have Done It, but His WM} Was Bossing the Job. There is at least one thing about which a man knows absolutely nothing, and that is the taking care of a baby. If you don’t believe it, ask any woman of your acquaint ance, and she will tell you that a man knows no more about how to look after a baby than the average politician knows about the financial question, and it’s 16 to 1 that she’s right. A striking feature or this was furnished on a Cass avenue car. Mr. Kelly reported the facts at; police headquarters, and on March 7 Vernon was arrested and arraigned in J efi‘erson Market court. Mr. Kelly, however, refused to pros- ecute, and he regained his liberty. .1 umv‘lvvv gnu... ---. 01115 §Lfdusoy vuv “a.“ uvu had been swindled ntil one day in the early part of the following March he was walking down BroadWay and saw his for- mer friend come out of a. hotel in the full enjoyment of robust good health. ems strange, m cm. 1101, auapccu muu- m1 COULDN’T HOLD A BABY. Strange Collision. Silo Packing. THE WATCHMAN. LINDSAY, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 19TH. 1895. Clean and oil your harness and keep it soft and pliable; . .There is no sure: mark of the Sloven- ly, dirty "farmer who will never get on in the world than huge accumulations of manure about stalls and stables. . There is quite too much using of the knife in animal ailments. In 1873 as much as $40,000 was in one or two instances paid for a single cow during the great Shorthorn craze. It was nearly as bad as the tulip insanity in Europe 100 years ago. ’ A half teaspoanful of the white of an egg added to mayonnaise dressing be- fore putting in any oil will prevent it: from curdling. A good rubbing with salt water is the best cure for galls on horses’ shoul- ders. A veteran horseman says to tie a cloth around the end of a corncob and flip the cob into an old fruit can nearly full of water, into which a considerable quantity of salt has been placed. Make the solution strong by putting in as much salt as the water will take up. Then stir with the cloth end of the cob till the salt is dissolved. After that bathe .the gall with this cloth covered corncob, and the gall will soon be cured. The salt hardens the skin and contracts the gall, whereas if any kind of grease be rubbed on it will make the skin even more soft and tender. The gentleman who gives this cheap and easy ciire for galled shoulders says, if the skin is rubbed ofl’, remove the col- lar and let a dry film form over the ex- posed flesh before applying the salt wa« ter. Then the application will not be so painful to the horse. Live Stock Points. A man who has made money out of agriculture says, “I believe that hog raising, taken year in and year out, is the most profitable business a farmer can engage in. ” Take :3 cups of cornmeal, 2 cups of flour, 2 cups sour milk, an egg, 3 table- spoonful melted lard or butter, one-half cup molasses, one-half cup sugar, 2 even teaspoonfuls of soda. and a teaspoouful of salt. Bake thin. The oftener money can be turned over in business the better. In raising hogs it is turned over once a. year. In breeding beeves and horses several years are required. Give hogs access to plenty of ashes, salt, charcoal and clean water. At the same time see that they get plenty of middlings, bran, etc., with their corn, and they will not be apt to get cholera. How to Use Soft Lemon Jelly. Sometimes lvnmn jelly, mudu with gelatin, will not solidify. In such a case add 2 stiff whites of eggs and a. lit- tle sugar to a. quart: of the jelly, and freeze it as lemon ice. It will be found that the egg removes that. course, snowy taste of tho average water ice. They will only be needed in small dairies, however, where there are not more than five cows. For a larger num- ber the baby separator will do away with ordinary milkpans and milkpuu covers. There is today great need of a separator for a few gallons of milk. Un- doubtedly it will be evolved before long. COVER FOR MILK JARS. pans. The device consists merely of a round wooden rim with a gauze wire netting stretched over it. The cover shown in the picture is intended to be used in milkshops. The cover is fitted down tight over the vesserontuining the milk or cream. In the .enter, how ever, is a round hole large enough to put the pint ladle into. A cap fits over the hole. In serving milk or cream to cus- tomers it is easy to take off the central cap. dip out the milk or cream required and put the top on again without dis~ turbing the cover itself. Such covers as are here described could be made by any- body in this country without a. patent. The same idea has been elaborated in an invention lately exhibited in Eng- land. The cover is made in many shapes and sizes. It is intended to fit over disk as containing food and to let air in While it keeps dust out. One modification of the Englishman’s invention is designed for milk jars and Illustration of Ventilated Cover For Milk Pans and Milk Jug. Many good American housewives h are had round wire rims made about; which they sewed mosquito netting. The rims fitted around the edge of their milk crooks or pans, and the netting cover kept out flies and dust at the same time that it let air in. How to Keep Miayonnaise Smooth.
