A DAY THAT JOHNNY NEVER
FORGOT.
It was a bright winter mo: ulna,
and it was Saturday.
It was early yet—only half past
six—but Jobuny Blynn was up and
dressed.
Ho went down stairs, as fast as
he could go.
In the dining room was sister
Nellie, standing by the grate warm
ing her hands. Johnny seized hold
of one of her long braids and gave
" it such a twitch that the blue rib.
bon that tied it came u,:er falling
into the fire.
Then Johnny laughed, and Nei.
lie said, impatiently, as she twitch-
ed at the knot in the ribbon :
"It's too bad 1 When I had my
hair all ready for breakfast."
"Hair for breakfast t Ho 1 ho 1"
shouted Johnny, dancing teasingly
about her. "Whoever heard tell of
such a thing 1"
Then did Nellie's patience vanish
entirely. and she sprang up to give
Johnny a good shake, but he darted
away, and ran out of doors, appear.
ing soon in the kitchen, much to
the dismay of Bridget, who was
hurrying about trying to dish up
breakfast. If there was anybody in
,the world that Bridget didn't want
to see in the kitchen it was Johnny;
so as soon as hebounced in, she
said :
"Now get out of this, Johnny
Blynn, this very minute !" but
Johnny seized the spoon that was
in the batter -cakes, shouting, "I'll
bake cakes for you ;" then he tried
to put a cake or the griddle. He
plunged the spoon deep into the
batter, and carried it dripping an -
cross the table and floor and stove,
and splashed it on to the griddle ;
then Bridget seized "both the spoon'
and the boy, put the epoon in the
dish and the or through the open
door, then shut and locked it, say.
ing wrathfully, as she put him out,
"You're the very worst boy in this
world 1"
This was a-epeoimsn of than
whole day. He could not go out to
skate, because his mother said he
was too hoarse to play out of dors
such a cold day, and such a day as
they had of it 1 It Johnny's busi-
ness had been to torment everybody,
make them lose their tempere, and
upset nerves generally, be would
have been a master hand at his
business, for he went from one thing
to another as fast as poseible, never
once stopping to rest bimeelf.
From the window he saw two
ladies coming to call upon his moth.
er, and immediately he ran into the
parlor and hid behind the folding,
doors, where, as they stood open,
were nice little corners behind them.
"It will be such fun," he said to
himself, "to hear what they say
when they think they are all alone,"
So while they waited for his
mother to come down, they talked.
They were friends of her school.

Just then what (lid lis. Blynn

"Is not this draught too strong
for you, Mrs. Graham 2" and rising
closed the folding.doore, when, bo.

was Johnny.
"Why t" said mamma, but
Johnny waited to Bear no more, A
dart and bound took him through
the door, and on his way up to bis
own room, where he cried himself
almost sick.
"Nobody shall ever call me a
Torment again," he said with a long
drawn sob.
Don't suppose that Johnny grew
to be a wonderful boy all at once
after that big resolve. He tried to
keep it, but he kept forgetting and
doing the same naughty tb;ugs day
after day. He told it all to mam-
ma ono night—bow it was of no
use for him to try and bo good ; be
"just couldn't I" And then mamma
said ;
"Jobuny, dear, don't you know

with all your heart, and your heart
must run to Jesus when you feel.

just as you call after me when you
are in any danger."
Tbat made the way plainer, and
everybody began to say, "Johnny
is certainly growing to bo a better
boy."
For Farmers.

It is a very important item to

in improving this. The sweat col -

removed will add very much to their

There is a mad competitiou
among the wealthy residents of
Buenos Ayres, South America, to
see who shall own the best running
and trotting horses. The man who
secured Prince Wilkes for $80,000 •
undoubtedly leads the procession
among trotters, but the running
horses in Buenos Ayres are more
evenly matched. An offer of $50,-
000 was recently made for the Eng-
lish race horse, Goldseeker, winner
of tris suburban handicap.
Dairy schools seem to pay in
Denmark. Nearly $50,000 are ex-
pended for their maintenance, and
within a score of years the exports
of butter from Denmark have in•
creased from $2,100,000 to $13,-
000,000 annually. The increase is
due to knowing how to make good
butter, and then maintaining an
even standard of excellence. . By
these methods success may always
be assured, and they are methods
well worthy of adoption by all.
A farmer who rears extra fine
calves never turns them out into a
pasture for the first year. They
are kept in a stable and fed clover
hay, wheat bran, oilmeal and per-
haps some oate. They grow finely
and do not have the adverse circum-
stances of the hot sun, flies and
rain storms. It takes less time to
feed them than when in the field
and they do not waste as much.
They get well broken and gentle,
besides making a fine lot of manure.
We must feed more to make man-
ure. The Boil needs it.

A DUEL W1't'U POTATOES.
How the ,rev. lir. iroinnttn Downed
a Desperado.
'This seems to be a year of duels,'
said Dr, Morrison, of the first
Methodist church, bo an Atlanta
Journal reporter, 'but I notice there's
far more duels than blood- In re•
minds me of a famous duel fought
in Kentucky in 1948.
'Bill Bowman was a noted preach-
er who lived near Millersburg. He
was a typical Kentuckian, till,

well-known desperado came into the

in a ringing voice publicly reproved
the desperado, who at once retired
from the church.
'The noxi morning the desperado
Bent a challenge to Bowman to fight
him a duel. Bowman aooeptod the
challenge, and there was no four -
column newspaper correspondence,
no railroad trips to an adjoining
States, nothing but two little notes—
one a challenge and the other ,an
acceptance—and then all was ready
for the fight. The town was ter-
ribly excited, for such a thing as a
preacher fighting a duel had never
been heard of before.
'Old Bill Buwman, being the chal-
lenged man, had the choice of wen•
pone. He selected a half bushel of
Irish potatooe as big as his fist for
each man, and stipulated that his
opponent must stand fifteen paces
distant, and only one potato at a
time to be taken from the measure.
The town was wild with delight, for
everybody knew that. Boll Bowman
could throw with his long muscular
arms as straight and almost as swift
se a rifle could send a bullet singing
toward the target.
'The dosperade was furious at be-
ing thus freshly insulted, and made
811 indignant protest against soh a
fight, but Bill Bowman insisted that
he was the challenged man and had
a right to choose his own weapons,
and threatened to denounce the
desperado as a coward if ]ie failed to
come to time. As there was no
way out,of the box but to fight, the
desperado finally consented to face
the preacher.
'The fight tools place on the out-
skirts of the town. Everybody in
Millersburg' was present toseethe
fun. The seconds arranged the two
MOD in position, by the side of each

with large Irish potatoes as hard as
a brink.
'Bill Bowman threw the first po-
tato. It struck his opponent a
central shot and flow into a thousand
pieces. A yell of delight went up
from the crowd, which rattled the
desperado, and his potato flew wide
of the tall, bony preacher.
'Bill Bowman watched his chance.,
