Tho Bows That Are Wanted.

A young man with practical bnowl-
edge in his head, skill in his hands, and
health in his body, is his own letter of
recommendation, diploma and refer
ence. Mix him up with sixty thousand
other people, and you can find him
again, he will have the habit of being
on top. Throw him naked on desert
island, and he will be at the head of
something. He does not go whining
up and down the land blaming fortune
and saying he has no chance, but goes
out and does something, and goes out
again and does it again better. Boys
and men that do something definite,
either with head or hands, are the boys
and men that are wanted, and the de-
mand is as great here and now as it has
been any time since the beginning.

things the hen must not see you do
this, for you and she are playing at
hide-and-seek.
Some day you will fin her sitting on

brown eyes. Don't say word; trip
noiselessly away, and late that evening
give her back those speckled eggs, slip

She will pluck you but do not mind

and behold! not turkey chick was
there. The little things just out OF
the shell, obeying the wild instinct OF
their nature, had "scooted" in the
twinkling of an eye, leaving a nest OF
empty shells. I hunted all over the
henhouse, but no sight or sound of
them could be heard, but, as turned
away, heard the old hen calling soft

answers, and from ratholcs, from wisps

as an old woman told me. With my

pip" at the end of each tiny bill, and,
holding the little turkey firmly and
placing a finger in the bill to keep it
open, crammed the little pip-which
looks like piece of meal husband a
whole grain of black pepper down each
little throat. The black pepper makes
them warm. Then the young turkeys
are treated to a dab of salt grease and
snuff, mixed together in n brown paste,
first on the top of each head and then
under each little throat. Their food is
now to be wet corn meal and chopped
garlic on onion tops-with an OCCASION

days. How those little turkeys like
onion tops! They actually squeaI with
delight when they smell them. What
tussling when two or three are hanging
on to the same piece! What funny
little things they are!-so weak in their
legs, so easily upset, yet so strong in
their bills. You can lift little turkey
off the ground with an onion top if he
once gets a firm hold.-Mary R. Cox, in

DASH AND HIS CHARGE.

drove him out. Dash went and lay
down in the garden to think about it.
Surely his master would set things
right-he would never allow cats in
the garden, much less in the house.
But when Rob showed the kitten to
his father he, too, stroked it until it
purred. The cook was told to give the
little beast milk regularly, and let it
curl up by the stove whenever it was
pleased to visit the kitchen.
If the dog had been in a cage he
might have strangled himself or beat
en- his brains out, as 1 have known
birds to do. AS it was, after trying
several times to kill the intruder he
sulked and grew so bad tempered that
his mistress became uneasy, lest he
should bite some one of the family.
1t was little Rob who suggested a
cunning plan. The cat should be kept
in the kitchen, and it should be Dash
who should keep her there. In short,
Dash should be made the cats guar
dian.
The plan worked to charm. Dash
soon grew proud of his duty of looking
after Tippie. When she became thief,
as most good mousers do, he would
chase her out of mischief. When he
saw her ON the table he would reach
up, catch her in his mouth and set her
down on the floor. He did this several
times, but as she did not seem to mind
1t, one day he shook her before letting
go. That made her understand.
She soon grew fond of Dash, and
would run to meet him every morning,
jumping up and catching his nose
between her forepaws and sometimes
throwing them round his neck, as il
she We're hugging him. He would play
with her by turning her over on her
back holding her down with his paw
and then pretending to bite her, but he
never hurt her.
Nor would he let others punish her il
he thought she did not deserve it. One
day her mistress, who spoiled them
both, grew tired of the cats mewing
when she was not hungry, and was
only asking for food because she
smelled it, and to teach her better at.
tempted to put her out into the snow
Dash ran to the rescue. He snatched
| Tippie out of the lady's arms and car
ried her over to the corner where she
slept. Then he ran back to his mistress
wagging his tail, as much as to say
"She won't bother you any more, take
my wcrd for it,"
So they lived until Tippie, the cat
and Dash, the cat hater, died of ole
age. And all this came about because

Pussy's Uncomfortable Trip.

The steamer from Newport to Provi-
dence, r. l., had a passenger the other
day which escaped the notice of the
purser and paid no fare. On the arrival
of the steamer peculiar noise was
heard in the paddle box, and investiga-
ton revealed the presence of very
disconsolate and much-bedraggled cat,
and it's appearance gave conclusive evil
dence that it had made a very unpleas-
ant trip. It's own mother would prob
ably not have recognized. it, but after
it had been taken out and dried it was
found to be the feline pet of the New
port agent of the line. 1t was sent
back on the next trip to it's master in
much more comfortable quarters, and
the purser says it purred all the way.

announced that Prof. Drydapper would
make his first bow-so to speak-be-
fore a Dancing Branch audience on
Capt. Twitchells farm.
About that time Nisby received q
letter by special messenger and
furtively conveyed, that seemed to
put her in high good humor. She
would explain nothing to anybody,
but went about the house as chirripy
and frisky as a squirrel in nutting
time. Previously she had been rather
moody and preoccupied.
Cant see what's come over the
girl" said her father. ''If that John
Henry was about, should say he was
responsible"
But, though Mr.. PGdget had not
been seen on Dancing Branch for, as
some expressed 1t, "a month of Sun
days." his absence was more than re-
placed to the captains mind by an
agent of the great Drydapper. By the
time the latter had finished explain
ing and persuading, Capt. Twitchell
had agreed to give up his big barn
down In the Branch bottom for the
purpose of furthering the professors
cloudcompelling operations.
"Mind you, though" stipulated the
prudent captain, ''if the rain don't
come, that feller has got to pay me for
the use of my barn"

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
A CAT Halter CURED.
How Dash Learned TO Take Care of HI,
Mistress Pussy.

How Dash Learned to Take Care of His
Mistress' Pussy.
Dash was a Gordon setter who had
enjoyed the full confidence of all the
members of a large household for half
hfetime-that is to say, half dogs
lifetime. From puppyhood he had been
petted and treated as person Of inn
portance.
He had many pleasures, but the
greatest was being sent scampering
down the long garden in pursuit OF
cats ignorant that this particular piece
of ground belonged to dog.
Dash's master dislilSed cats almost as
much as the dog, and as these animals
made havoc with his flowers, breaking
down his favorite rose trees and lying
in the midst of his Canterbury bells,
perhaps his dislike was no more to be
condemned than the dogs. However
that may be, the moment cats nose
or tail appeared at any corner of the
garden wall Dash was summoned to
give chase. Cats and the legs Of the
tceman were two morsels that Dash
longed to taste. The man had acci-
dentally hit the dog with piece of ice
which he was throwing away, and on
another occasion he had shaken his
tongs at him.
One day Dash bounded into the sit
ting-room in answer to a call from his
mistress and found her petting little
ball of black fur, which on being set
down on the floor in front of him
bumped up it's back and Missed at him
like snake. A cat! Dash could not
believe his eyes. How kind of the mis-
tress to give him such treat. He
pricked up his ears and wagged his tail
and then pounced toward the kitten,
but before he could seize it he was
struck sharp blow by little Rob and
called bad dog!" by Rob's mother.
Worse even than that, his mistress
picked up the kitten and stroked it.
while she stamped her foot at him and

tremendous air of mystery and impor-
tance. He drove straight to the big
barn in the bottom and instructed his
darhy to close the doors Shortly he
came out and took sage survey of the
heavens, with the air of a Solomon
who held the clerk of the weather con-
tinually at his beck and call. He was
small of stature, yet OF great-not to
say terrible-dignity. In fact, his dig
nifty was so overpowering that Capt
Twitchell completely neglected to let
the professor know of his intentions
regarding the rent.
His professional preparations were
to be made in secret down at the big
barn that night. All that he could be
got to say was:
"By morning, look out for signs of
rain. You had all better go to bed;
but if you will hang round that barn
it might be safer to bring your utn-
may happen-seeP"
And he withdrew, magnificent in his
impene trability. But, when relieved
of the oppressiveness of the professors
presence, the captains natural skepti-
cism asserted itself for moment.
II half-believe he is large-sized
humbug,' said he.
But later on, when they told him
that half the population of Dancing
Branch was squatting, sitting and
standing around his barn, curiosity
got the better of prudence.
"Old woman" he said, you keep an
eye on Nisby here, and I'll just run
