After looking over the various ADVERTISE
ments Mr., Larkin concluded that the West
Side place would do.
He wanted u room that would answer
for both Office and storeroom and felt that
he couldn't afford to pay much rent.
Larkin selected . large corner room at a
rental that seemed preposterously low. he
paid $50 In advance and agreed to sign
the lease some time during the next week.
Next day his property. consisting OF q
desk, a typewriting machine, a few bales
Of advertising matter and sundry books,
were moved into the newly rented office.
Larkin went to his new quarters early
on the day after the property had been
moved in. He backed his desk up against
the wall and scattered the chairs about 80
that the apartment wouldn't seem SO baro,
and then he sat down to go through the
mail that had accumulated. In few
moments he was deeply engaged with tho
letters and the order book. Suddenly he

"Well, WE'LL" murmured Larkin.
Then there came from the same hidden

was apparently one of those music hall

of the most remarkable things OF it's
kind ever conceived by an .acronaut Its
chief feature. which cxcites the great
est wonder. Is It's extreme lightness con-
sidering it's tremendous strength. The
airship consists of boat-shapcd ear
that does not swing. but is held solidly.
though pendant. from cluster OF FIVE
balloons.

braces are also the stays for tho. sails

The report caused quite sensation.
The custom dates back To the thi:'-

FER CENT OF FArIN CREAM.

In answer to tho inquiry of n sub
icriber as to what per cent OF butter
lat there should be in cream ms it
comes from the separator to obtain
the best results in churning, the fol.
lowing answer in Hoard's Dniryman is
a very, good one: From thirty to
thirty-fve per cent, provided you can
secure tho proper churning temporal
ture. Rich cream requires n lower
temperature for churning, aud when
this can be had gives not only small
or per cent. of fat in the buttermilk,
but also less buttermilk, which is n
double gain. 1t is sometimes difficult
to got tho required temperature in
summer, and in such cases it is better
to take cream with less fat in it.
FOR thirty per cent. cream tho tenn
per"turro should not be above fifty five
degrees when tho butter breaks, and
say hity degrees or less at starting
