Women Who Help Themselves.

OF SO women who. under the leader
ship of Miss Annette Daisy, made a

opened last September, 20 have proved
steadfast in spite of the difficulties of
the undertaking and are busily engaged
in making a home without help or him

timber themselves for a house of Is
rooms, which they will occupy, and are
prepared to do their own blowing, plant

section of $50 acres which they hold.
They already have three teams. COWS,

Why Does She Do 1t?

Two men were standing on the post
Office crossing when woman passed
along.
Ibid you see that lady offer US her
pocketbook?" asked one, a well known
justice.
YES" said the other, "and if had
been as hard up as l have been some
times in my life think l should have
taken it. "
81 wouldn't blame you," answered
the Justice. 1T is a constant source of
wonder to me why in this age of enlight-
enment and woman suffrage our women
don't learn some common sense. How
would man look walking through the
streets holding out his pocketbook to all
he meets?"
1--WE thought of q scheme" said his
friend. "Now that our ladies are wear
ing vests the same as we do why don't
they carry car fare and loose change i'll
one vest pocket and bills in the other?
Then they could dispense with the peck
etbook altogether -
"Well, l know this, " said the justice,
"a man should never be convicted of
stealing for taking a lady's pocketbook
on the street when she held it out to
him. In these times such a temptation
ought to condone the offense 1t is like
offering premium on theft and makes
every woman who practices it an acces-
sorry to crime. Detroit Free Press.

Still further, am opposed to this in

fair AMI it is partial While secular
amusements in different cities are allow
ed to be open on the Sabbath day, dry

makers, and the hardware stores. Now,
tell me by what law of justice you can
compel a man to shut the door of his
store while you keep open the door Of
your worldly establishment. May it
please your honors, judges of the su-
preme court, if you give to secular
places the right to be open ON the Sab

A Call For Help.
But we are told that they must get
money on Sabbath nights in order to
pay the deficits of the other nights of
the week. Now, in answer to that I
say that if the men cannot manage
their amusements without breaking the
Lords day they had better all go into
bankruptcy together. We will never
surrender our Christian Sabbath for the
purpose of helping these violators to
pay their expenses Above all, my con-
fidence is in the good hand of God that
has been over our cities since their
foundation. But call this day upon
all those who befriend Christian princi-
pie, and those who love our political
freedom, who stand in solid phalanx in
this Thermopyle Of our American his
tory, for believe as certainly as l stand
here that the triumph or overthrow of
American institutions depends upon this
Sabbath contest.
Bring your voices, your pens, your
printing presses and your pulpits into
the Lords artillery corps for the de-
Tense of our holy day. Today, in your
families and in your Sabbath schools,
recite, Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy" Decree before high
heaven that this war on your religious
rights and the cradles of your children
shall bring ignominious defeat to the
enemies of God and the public veal
For those who die in the contest bat
thing for the right we shall chisel the
epitaph, "These are they who came out
of great tribulation and had their robes
washed and made white in the blood of
the Lamb. " But for that one who shall
prove in this moral crisis recreant to
God and the church there shall be no
honorable epitaph. He shall not be
worthy even of a burial place in all this
free land, but the appropriate interment
for such one would be to carry out
his remains and drop them into the sea,
where the lawless winds which keep no
Sabbath may gallop over the grave of
him who lived and died a traitor TO
God, the church and the free institu-
lions of America. Long live the Chris

Mr.. WALKERS CASE.

"Goodby, dear"

The train began to move. Miss Kitty
Belwhistle distributed farewell series of
mods and smiles.
She felt quite fond of the Cholmondeleys,
now that she was leaving them They
were sorry to lose their guest undoubtedly.
Their brother sorrowed also, but not as
one without hope. Business of a pressing
nature was likely to take him up to Lon
don in the course Of a week or SO.
Kitty, experienced hand that she was,
had not spent three weeks at Northwich
Grange for nothing The understanding
between herself and the heir of the North
witch acres was pretty definite, that young
gentleman fattered himself. They wefe
almost, if not exactly, engaged
Kitty had made the usual stipulation.
If, within the space of 10 months from
date, she met somebody else she liked bet
ter than dear Chubbington, all that had
passed between them was thenceforth to
be regarded as an idle dream. If, on the
other hand, she did not, then
Kitty pulled up the window and sapk
back into comfortable corner seat. The
first class compartment contained no
other passenger than the charming young
lady in the sealskin coat and crimson
feathered toque who consulted her COM
plexion in the strip of looking glass before
she fell to oyerhauling her bags and pack
ages.
& The journey was tedious and would be
certain to be cold one upon this keen,
frosty January day. a:''sa
But Kitty, who always was distinguish
ed by admirable forethought in matters
where her own well being was concerned,
had got all her little comforts around her.
Eau de cologne? Yes, the housemaid
put it in. How stupid of Parker to catch
bronchitis! OF course was obliged to leave
her behind. If had insisted on her trav-

ture could possibly present itself in the

POULTRY YARDS AND RUNS.

The Space Required For Flocks-Have .
Yard For Each Variety.
Beginners are always uncertain as to
the space required for their focks, and,
generally speaking, they meet with nu-
merous failures because they attempt to
raise too large a number Of birds in
limited quarters, overcrowding being a
widespread evil. On that subject Of
''How Much Land?' The Poultry World
says: If only small flock Of birds are
to be kept, but little space is absolutely
needed for their accommodations. If
large numbers are to be tried-with a
view to growing fowls and eggs for
marketing uses--of course much larger
space is required and multiplied num-
Der Of lighthouses also, inasmuch as in
no case should flock exceed 80 to 80
birds in one yard to be bred success
fully.
It is much the better plan, however
great or small the numbers may be,
that the birds have a good free range
outside of the house limits. Where this
ample roaming space cannot be allowed
them the numbers kept together should
not be over Is to % in a yard-say715
or 20 feet by 12-at the very least.I
Here, if we'll fed and kept cleanly, a
score of birds will prosper ordinarily
in satisfactory way If one desires to
keep more than ohe breed and wishes to
keep them in their purity, the space
named ought to be accorded to each va.
riety, which should always be Kept
apart FROM the Others the year round.
A hen canetake a great many steps and
do a vast deal of scratching on moder-
ate space Of ground, and the sooner peo-
pie learn that they cannot raise the
grass for forage or the insects to supply
animal food in their poultry yards the
sooner will many begin to accomplish
good results who are now making fail
ures in the business. So when you have
put your poultry into the best house
and yard possible to provide for them
remember anything they need to eat
must be supplied, or disaster will be the
browning result of all your efforts.
Amateurs ask how many hens may be
kept on half acre or quarter acre of
ground, as though the poultry yard was
to support the fowls in the sense that a
sheep pasture supports the sheep. But
this is not So. The yard is simply place
for exercise,y aiit and sun, like the play
ground of sRfopl There is little to be
found, even insaslarge yard, that fowls
5 can eat, and large yard is about on B
/ par with a small one in this respect
Fifteen or twenty fowls will soon kill the
grass Of the better species suitable for
their eating in yard containing one
eighth Of an acre, and flock twioei as
large will eradicate all but the coarser
grasses upon quarter Of an acre if
they are kept confined in an Enclosure
of that size. AS for insect forage in a
poultry yard, it is very rarely that a
cricket or grasshopper is caught by the
fowls in their runs. Where the range
includes as much land as they choose to
travel over the case is different, but do
not expect that a poultry yard of any
ordinary size will supply forage for
your fowls.
