Will Lee, more commonly known in
Revolutionary lore as Billy, and who
always rode a great animal called
Chinkling, he hunted across the
beautiful valleys of the two states

had hunted the redcoats few years
previously. None rode more gal

They knew Their Passengers.

The student Of sociology will find
a good many of the old New Eng
land ways still enough aliveto trav-
Ell on rural trolleys. On one line in
Boston's suburbs the conductors and
motormen know their passengers.
The other. day a conductor excused
his hurry in making change by say
ing he had to look after Mrs.
Blank, cause she's lame. Having
helped that lady to reach terra
firma, the conductor resumed the
collection of fares, beginning with
a little girl, of whom he asked,
"How's fathers cold today, Annie2"
Needless to say that the conductors
are Johns and "Henrys" to many
of the patrons. The line is well
operated, for the old New England
democracy always knew how to get
there on schedule time.-Boston

The inhabitants of small village
not 20 miles from Bradford are noted
for peculiar fondness for currant
cake. A stranger who had obtained
work in one of the factories there
had an example of this. He had
taken his breakfast with him, tied
up in cotton handkerchief, and on
his arrival at the mill he was look
ing around for place to put it in
until the meal hour should arrive
The foreman, seeing his dilem-
ma, called out to him:

"Currant CAKE" was the reply.
Well said he, pointing to a

chiefs, ''tha can chuck it on that

Water For Cows.

A plentiful supply Of water is neces.
sary for the proper production of milk
American experimenters state that the
amount OF water absorbed by COW
does not influence materially the
quantity or quality of the milk. l am
bound to disagree with this, although l
have carried out no experiments on the
subject, for the reason that watery and
sloppy foods, such as grass, brewers
grains and roots, certainly do tend to the
production of a larger quantity of milk
with corresponding decline in the to-
tai solids, more particularly in the but
ter fats At least consider that this is
the most feasible explanation of why
the total solids go down when watery
foods are given and also why the excess
of water drunk in hot summer has a
like effect.
