FUNNY THING IN SPELLING.
learning to Manipulate a Typewriter
Gets Man Into a Queer
Habit.

A Cleveland man has set about learning
the use of the typewriter. UP to the present
time he has had somebody to do his typewrit-
ing for him, but now he wants to know how
to run it all by himself. He admits that he
isn't an apt scholar. 1t comes slowly. The
letters are hard to find and the spacing is so
easily forgotten. But there is one thing that
amuses him.. He is learning to spell and
learning in the same way he did when a tow
headed boy in the early 6Os OF course he
could spell when he tackled the typewriter,
but not in the same way. Now he distinctly
eeInumerates each letter, and does it, too, with
the greatest care. 1t is funny thing, but he
hnds himself spelling out the words in the
newspaper and his wife says he spells them
in his sleep.
The other day the minister met him and
asked him how he was
Very WE'LL" he gravely spelled out,
and when the pastor looked amazed he real
ized what ne had done and hastily explained
the cause OF the popularity. And the minis
ter protested to be greatly interested and
wanted to know all about it and the speller is
now greatly worried for fear the parson will
write special paper on it for some maya
zine.
When the minister finally left him he
shook hands and said "Good-by.'
.'"G-o-o.d," began the speller and then rec.
objected himself and hastily added "by."
He hopes in time to wear out this peculiar
ity, and when he increases his speed on the
typewriter he no doubt win.-Cleveland

Fattening Old Cows.

Most old cows are thin In flesh In
spring, even If they are not giving milk.
Their teeth are poor, and unless they
have ensllage, which Is succulent, they
cannot eat enough of dry food to keep
them in the best condition. Spring Is
the best time I o fatten such cows. They
Hlll eat grass greedlly, but there Is lit
lie nourlshment to 1t. Yet 1t is best to
give them all the grass they care for,
and add some cut feed made of cut
clover wet and sprinkled with some
0 and oatmeal, and a little salt to
i've a good relish. 1t only needs n few
weeks of such feeding to put many
pounds of new flesh on such old cows,
which will be as tender and good as Is
new flesh on much younger beeyes. The
secret of having tender meat Is In quick
f%attenlng. The younger steer that be-
comes dyspeptic and feyerish while he
Is ~fattening, so that he is not a good
feeder" will when killed furnish tough
beef. 1t Is true the steer Is less likely
TO get of his feed than is an older ami
NAL. But If he Is not fed properly he
will make poor tough beef. as surely AZ
will an older animal under like condi-
tons.
