fish, which according to the estlatat•
of a salesman at Spitadllelds, who ul-
timately sold it for $30, would provide
a meal for nearly 1,000 people, had
been noticed in the river, and attempts
had been made to shoot it. But the
cartridges used were loaded with shot
too small to have any effect on the P
sturgeon's hard skin: A large net,
therefore, was drawn across the river,
after which a boat was rowed along-
side
loneside the fish, when one of the men
suucceeded in forcing in large and
powerful hook attached to a strong
pole into his throat. This enabled
him to keep its head out of water
just long enough for the fish to be
killed with a gun. Some idea of its
size and weight may be gathered from
the fact that five men were required
to land it. This, however, is by no
means the largest sturgeon which has
been caught in English waters. The
record was a fish weighing 460 pounds,
while in the North Sea fish weighing
as much as 662 pounds and 735
pounds have been captured by traw-
lers. It is pointed out that one of
the most remarkable facts about the
fish netted in the North Sea is that
they are similar to the American
species, whence it would seem that
the specimens caught 'from time to
time in our waters must have made
the voyage across the Atlantic, since
the fish appears to have died out as
a regular inhabitant of British waters.
Sturgeons pass the greater part of
the year in the sea, but periodically
ascend large rivers, and it was due

0opyriiht by .American Press Anso-
Mrs. Greatorix was a stepmotbe'
Not all • stepmolbers, any: more than
'all mothers-in-law, are Mid, but Mrs.
Grelttol'itt was at least avaricious.
She had to eblldren of her own, but a
stepdaughter. Moreover, the husband
ed father' had died, leaving $100,000
to his widow and $200,000 to his
daughter, Alice.
Alice 'was fifteen years old .when
her father died and, having no other
home, remained with her stepmother.
She feared her father's widow ,and -
would have been glad to get away'
from her, but she was too young to
lay plans for such a purpose.
There was a clause in the Greatorix
will that if Alicewas not married by
the time she was eighteen .$50,000 of
,.her fortune was to go to her step-
mother. if she bad no children at
twenty-five another $50,000 -was to go
'to her stepmother, Why Mr. Greatoris
threw such a temptation in the way
of his wife to keep his .daughter un-
married does not appear. The most
probable solution is that it was the
result of a compromise—that the wife
was claiming more and finally got
'this stipulation out of him.
UnforLenately' for the stepmother's
plans Alice must go to school. At the .
high school when she was seventeen
she met a youth of eighteen, and be-
tween them there sprang up an at-
tachment. Roger Ashurst called oc-
casionally on Alice, but it didn't take
him long to discover that he ;was ob-
noxious to the stepmother. Opposi-
tion is an excellent incentive to love,
and Roger as soon as be left the high
school and went into business began
to lay plans to possess the girl he
found so much difficulty in courting.
Besides, Alice had told him of the
whys and wherefores of the case, and
he saw plainly that in order to help
Alice be must obtain the legal rights
of a husband.
As the girl approached the age of
eighteen her stepmother began to
watch her very closely—so closely, in-
deed, that she was unable to communi-
cate with her lover, Mrs. Greatorix
intercepting all her letters. Two weeks
before Alice's eighteenth birthday she
was locked up in her room. But one
night as she was going to bed, hear-
ing shot thrown against her window,
she opened it, and a stone was thrown
in to which was attached a note from
Roger stating that he would watch
for her aunt to go out and when she
did he would enter the house and take
her away.
A couple of days after this Alice was
not especially surprised at her bed-
room door being kicked open, and there
stood Roger. Hastily putting on her
hat and wraps, she went with him
downstairs. got into an automobile
A poultry fancier near' Durham,
England, produced curious results by
altering and alternating the food given
to his fowls.
It is known to many who have
reared canaries .for the market that
Cayenne pepper, put into their food
results in a notable difference in the
character and shade of their plumage,
giving the feathers a smoothness and
reddish tinge which adds very touch
to the sum for which the birds may
ordinarily be sold.
If the same ingredient be added to
the diet, especially of white hens
which have been hatched from care-
fully -selected eggs, their feathers be-
come pale rose, and they flush to a
brilliant red when the weather is
'damp and a storm is approaching.
These hens thus become veritable
barometers, and the progression of
oolor from pale to brilliant is so exact
that a scarlet hen stalking about the
barnyard is regarded as certain pro -
Ow of a storm which may be as
much as twelve hours distant—Tit-

ana was starting when Mrs. Greatorix
appeared, hurrying home.
A garage was located around the cor-
ner, and thither the stepmother ran,
hired an auto and made chase. The
fugitives bad taken a broad avenue
which was the most feasible outlet,
and into this avenue Mrs. Greatoris
ordered her chauffeur to proceed. She
saw the auto in which her daughter
was eloping—she recognized it by its
color—just turning into a side street.
For several minutes it was lost to her,
buton turning into the side street she
herself caught sight of it trying to pass
a cab that stood is the way. While
she looked the auto chugged past the
hack and darted on at full pace.
When Mrs. Greatorix reached the
vehicle that had blocked the way her
chauffeur endeavored to pass it on the
right, but at the moment the back
swerved to that side of the narrow
street. The chauffeur moved to • the
left, and the hack also turned to that
side.
"Run him down!" cried Mrs. Great-
orix. "He's in league with the elopers."
But when the chauffeur tried again
to make a passage the hack drew out
of the way and let him pass. The pur-
eeing auto soon turned into another
avenue, and Mrs. Greatoris, looking
first in one direction, then in the other,
saw the fugitive auto moving south-
ward.
"There it ist" she cried. "Put on all
your power." . .
They followed the auto twenty miles
into the country, when it stopped sud-
denly.
"Now's your chance," she said to
her chauffeur. "Don't let them get
away."
But the chauffeur was obliged to
slow up for the reason that the driver
of the other machine got out to fix
something. When Mrs. Greatorix
pulled up beside him he was working
with a monkey wrench. His auto was
empty.
Mrs. Greatorix was so mad that she
abused the fellow for leading her on
a wild goose chase. He looked at her
innocently, apparently not knowing
,what she was 'talking about. Then,
not waiting for a rejoinder, she order-
ed her chauffeur to turn about and go
back to the city.
Meanwhile the lovers had been mar-
ried.
Mrs. Greatoris never knew their
method of escape. Ashurst, had not
coLanted on .her returning so soon. Ex-
pecting that she would follow, he di-
rected his chauffeur to turn into a
side street, and, seeing a hack stand-
ing by the curb, he .got• Alice out of
the auto and into the hack only a mo-
ment before her stepmother turned
into the street and 'offered the driver,
a ten dollar bill to drive him wherever
he wished :to go. When the pursuing
auto came, up he ordered' the driver to
stand in its way in order to throw the
'pursuers off the track.

VALUE OF FERTILIZER SHOWN
Millet Crop More Than Doubled by
Properly Enriching the Soil.
The picture- herewith represents the
value .of fertilizer on sandy soil. A
strip of land in New York had celery
on it at one side in SODS with an ap-
plication, of about 300 pounds per acre
of a 2-8-10 fertilizer; the other side

had no fertilizer. The land was plow-
ed and fitted exactly alike and German
millet sown about June 15, 1000. The
showing Is remarkable, as the season
was the driest and also the coolest for
years, with only five inches of rain-
fall after July 1, which is about half
of normal. The picture shows the
growth of one square foot from each

other made only 6.8 tons. There are
several points to be thought of here--
first,
ere-first, that fertilizers of a good grade
puy well the nrst year, ana rnen some
pay for the second year.
If this is so with millet, would it not
be so with grain seeded with grass and
clover? That millet is a profitable
crop both for soiling and cured is ap-
parent when seven and one-half tons
cured fodder' can be secured per acre.
As millet contains only about 2 per
cent of protein, it should be fed in con-
nection with alfalfa or clover hay. If
these cannot be obtained the ration
should be balanced with such feeds as
oilmeal, cottonseed meal or the better
grades of gluten feed.
"1 have used millet for some years
with dairy cows and young stock,"
says the farmer who made this fertiliz-
ing experiment, "and think very high-
ly of it. It is said to be injurious to
horses through the effect it has on
the kidneys. With the bay crop as
light as it has been for two years, as
the dry season has been very hard on
new seeding, it will surely pay our
farmers to give more attention to the
millets. Any one of the different kinds
can be sown after all other spring
crops are in and can be harvested and
out of the way before fall work be-
gins."
