The "Weevil Signs."
Many n bushel of. beans or peas is
destroyed every year by the depre-
dations of weevils. This is not al-
together the result of carelessness on
the farmer's part, as much as 41 is
ignorance of how to deal with these
pests. One should know how to "read
the signs" in a sample of beans if he
would prevent damage from these in-
sects later in the season. Often in
the late winter or early in the spring
an examination of the beans will show
e
thm to be alive with weevil and full
of large holes. This condition could
have been prevented had the fernier
known, in the. late summer or early
all, how to read the "weevil signs."

It wasn't the badness of these people
that impressed me, but the lack of
anything real in their lives, It looked
to me like a game they were playing
out because their fathers had played
it. Finally I just dismissed the whole
subject as an outworn tradition and
believed that I was acting upon my
, sincere convictions.
"Here is where Ben Luther comes
in. I hired him to do odd jobs round
the t.tore. He was a stranger to me,
and, beyond his own statement that he
was an orphan, with no near relatives,
I knew teething of him or his family.
Later, a rumor drifted in from some-
where that Ben's father had been
under arrest for mishandling money,
and I suppose that made me think of
Ben when our cash drawer counted
short.
"kfter that had happened two or
three times, and a marked bill was
missing, I went up to Ben's boarding
place one afternoon and got permis-

his mother's Bible, that her fingers

the landlady promise never to mention
my visit. What I had seen would be
worthless as evidence in any court,
but I dismissed my suspicions on the
strength of it, and later disclosures
proved that I did right.
"Strangest of all, the incident
forced nee to question my own sincer-
ity. Had I found an open book of
history or fiction or poetry in Ben's
room, I should have gone on with my
search. Why was finding an open
Bible different? Why should 1 judgo
the probable character of a stranger
by the fact that he read, or did not
read, a discredited book?

The old Town.

Till down the pavement's noise and

fast;
But oh, the little town streets, the
rambling tip and down streets,
All the twists and turns are just the
way they used to be.
You'd think the very dead yon knew
