Home Mission Society.
The Woman's Home Mission so
ciety met Monday afternoon in the
library room of the church with fif
teen members and eight visitors
present. The meeting was opened
by singing "God Will Take Care of
You” followed by "1 Meed Thee .

Mho Will Bo tho I Jth Mhile Mouse Bride.
For the first time since the brief
administration of President Taylor
!
the presidential household has three
marriageable girls forming a part of
it. The ac vjnt of President and
Mrs. Wilson and their three "bach
elor” daughters has naturally
aroused Washington society* to t
speculation as to the possibility of
I one or more White House weddings
during the administration now be
gun.
The first White House wedding
took place a little more than a cen
tury ago, when Mrs. Madison's
younger sister, Lucy Payne Wash-!
ington, widow of a nephew of Geo. ;
Washington was the bride.
During President Jackson's ad
ministration three weddings took
place in the historic mansion, those 1
of Delia Lewis of Nashville and Al
phonse Pageot. a member of the
French legation; Mary Easton, a
niece of Mrs. Jackson, and Lucien
B. Polk, and Emily Martin, a rela
tive of the President and Lewis;
Randolph.
The next White House wedding
vas that of Elizabeth TyFer, daugh
ter of President Tyler. and Will arr
Waller of Virginia. The next was
the famous wedding of Nellie Grant
and Algernon Sartoris.
The White House weddings cf
late years, in the order in which
they took place, were those of Em
ily Platt, a niece of Presi^ien
Hayes, and General Russell Hast
ing: Miss Francis Folsom and Pres
ident Cleveland, and Miss A1 i- e
Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth.
The list to date totals an evei
dozen. Now the question asked is
whether one of the Wilson girls will
flout superstition and become the
thirteenth White House bride.

NEW USE FOR BOSTON DISH
Californian Makes Serious Declara
tion That It’s Use as a Hair Tonic
Wil Prove Beneficial.
It has always been understood that,
as a diet, pork and beans was “fill
ing.” but It remained for a California
inventor. Thomas H. Bartlett, to find
out a few years ago that it had the
property of “filling" the hair into the
head pnd to cause that already in
place ‘to “stick to" its support.. Mr.
Bartlett describes his hair tonic ns
consisting of pork fat. bean oil and
other specified ingredients, and de
scribes with great particularity the
cooking of a very nice edible dish of
baked beans preparatory to cortiplet
ing the tonic. Thus in the descrip
tion forming part of his patent he
says: “I take three cups of common
white beans and three pounds of salt
pork. The beans are parboiled, and
then boiled with the pork for eight
hours, and then covered tight and
baked for twelve hours.” With brown
bread that wouhl make a pretty good
Saturday night tea in Boston.

I he Importance of Preparation.
Good preparation of the land is
half the battle. Plow well, ha: row
and re-harrow until a perfect seed
bed is obtained. The prepaiation
of the land is the first fight to,
make this season for better crops.;
We are not in the corn belt be- ,
cause we have not given proper at-!
tention to live stocl? farming. If
bigger corn crops help produce
better live stock, more live stock
means bigger corn crops. For
bett r live stock, plant good seed,
prepare a good seed bed. utilize
every available bit of manure and
humus making material, cultivate:
olten and shallow, and study a
plan of rotation that will build up1
your soil. Our corn crpps are
small not so much because of the
w»y we handle our corn but the
way we handle cur land. Get the
land ready.
One of the most difficult and im
p >rtant points in growing a crop of
cotton is gett ng a good stand. On ,
he ivy land the task is harder.
While preparing for work, see to it
that your planting are in condition
to do good work. You cannot af
ford to have a poor stand frcm
careless planting. Th? prepara*
tion of the soil for a cotton crop is
of the greatest importance. It not
only insures a better stand, but
decreases the amour t of cultiva
tion required by the crop later on.
and finally insures the farmer of
more cotton. A..u that is the re
ward for a!! the rare and work.
Deep breaking and plowing under
of organic matter should be the
rule in the spring for cotton or
corn. Then there is no crop grown I
where a liberal use -'f high grade
commercial fertilize pays better
nan on cotton, but do not g the
ertilizer craze. Get humus < de:
^ying, organic matter) restored
.trough the growth of legumes and
Ceding it to get manure.

Turning Down a Lord.
Harry Lauder, the Scotch come
dian. tells a story of an English no
bleman.
'His lordship was Introduced to me
at the Tivoli one night," so the story
begins. "He asked me to dine with
hint. 1 accepted, and then he hesi
tated and said:
" 1 don't mean at my home, you
know. My wife doesn't approve of—
er- inn ic hall . people, you know. 1
mean at m> chili'
' At your club?' said I. with a hor
rified look Oh no! No. thank yon,
tnv lord. I'm sorry to have to decline,
but the fact, is, you know, my wife
doesn't—or-—approve of clubmen.”
His IVash Note.
in her suite in a New York hotel
Sr rah Bernhardt was na’rrating rend
niseences of the stage to a group of
dramatic critics.
'■ Mash notes,' you call them, n'est
ee pas?" she said laughing. "Well. 1
received a very funny mash note once
in a small town of your far west.
“ You are adorable.’ my mash note
ran. ‘and I'd have preferred to send
you orchids: but in this one horse
town I am reduced to peanut molasses
candy.' of which I am forwarding a
two-pound bag. Will you take supper
with me tonight in a private room at
the tavern? If voij consent, blow yoitr
nose on the stage and 1 will under
stand.' "
'imp. Bernhardt laughed again.
"And the worst of it was." she said,
"t had a bad cold r,t the time and was
afraid to blow my nose all the even
ing.”
