Watssn's Note Was Business-Like
But II Didn't Suit,
Watson was sitting at his desk one
evening when his wife said:
my dear. will you send a note to
Sylk & Satin and tell them that must
have the five yards of lining that !
bought there yesterday. They said
they'd send it right away, and l must
have it tomorrow, for the dressmaker
will be here the next day"
So Watson wrote as follows:
"Messrs. Sylk & Satin: Will you
please send at once the five yards of
lining my wife purchased at your store
yesterday"
Let me see what you have written?"
said Mrs. Watson.
ooh, dear!" she said, after reading
1t, that isn't half positive and definite
enough. They'll pay no attention to
that. I'll sit down and write to them
myself"
And this was what she wrote:
"Messrs. Sylk G Satin: You will re-
member that l was in your store at
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning Tor
1t may have been as late as 1O:3O), and
purchased five yards of percaline for

the lining counter will remember about

and she will need the lining the first
thing. and cannot go TO work without
1t. and her engagements are such that
she cannot come to me any day but
day after tomorrow and the next day.

would put her back so that she could
not finish the dress, and cannot get
her again for nearly q month, and /
simply must have the dress by the last
OF next week, and l am too busy to
come downtown tomorrow and get
the lining. The saleslady ! spoke OF
with the red silk waist waist will be
sure to remember about 1t, and told
her Just why and when wanted it and
she promised me that it would be sure
to come. OF course 1t may come be-
fore you get this. and II so 1t will DO
all right, but simply must have 1t be-
fore the dressmaker gets here, for she
will want to go to work OIL the skirt
the first thing and she cannot II she
does not have the lining. Please send
II right away.

Mr.. Bickers closed the book he had

Mr.. Bickers nodded.

you had proper idea of the Difference
that is due from husband to his wife,
but that is something you don't know
and never will. because you haven't
any capacity to learn or understand,
and that is just like you men. Here
you've been reading that book every
night for week, and haven't had a
chance to say word to you nor to
look into the book myself, what with
Shaving all day to make your home
comfortable, although you don't even
appreciate that. Now that you've got

"Yes."
"Then Of course they got married

TREATING sMUTrED OATS SEED.

The grain Is first immersed In the
half barrel Of water at 110-120, so that
1t may be warmed up somewhat The
temperature Of the iron kettle is thus
more easily maintained. Move the
basket up and down until all the grain
is thoroughly wet. By depressing the
lever the oats are removed from the
water and allowed to drain for a few
moments, then are lowered into the ket-
tie. Here 1t Is moved up and down for
ten minutes when 1t is taken out and
placed In the vessel containing cold
water. The grain is then spread out
where 1t will dry before being seeded.
The temperature of the water in the
kettle must not vary more than few
degrees. If it gets too high the vi
tality of the seed will be Impaired; If
too low the smut germs will not be
killed,

Two half barrels are arranged as
shown in the Illustration. re-drawn
from Bulletin so, Wisconsin expert
ment station. One contains cold water
and the other water at ITO to 100 de-
grees. By means Of lever suspended
from the top Of tripod, the basket
which holds the oa.s can be transferred
from one to the other easily. As soon
as the water. in tae first vessel falls
below the required temperature it can
be raised by adding hot water from the
iron kettle. The temperature Of
the kettle is regulated by a smaller or
larger fire,
