If the fowl is seriously sick oehead it and dispose of the carcass effectually If it is apparently only slightly indisposed, droopy and off Its feed, coop it in roomy and comfort able coop, and feed lightly on easily digested food, and leave all drugs alone, or feed them, properly dis guised, to egg-sucking dogs.

Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhna remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity compels it and then ruin his best horse going for doctor and have big doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays out 25 cents, the other is out 3 hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer.

He looked over his desk, through the
pigeonholes and in the drawers, but 1t
was nowhere in sight. 1t was not on
the floor. He felt behind his ear. 1t was
not there.
"This is what comes" he said i'm
patiently, ''of trying to work where
there is houseful of children. Which
one of You has taken my pen?'
The children looked at each other
and laughed. He became irritated.

exclaimed. "Where's that pen? Who
has taken It'll"
After moments pause one of the
children said slowly:
''If you'll laugh, papa, You will.find
it."
He stared at her in astonishment
Then, as her meaning slowly broke in
upon him, he joined in the laugh, and

Have you ever observed at ia theater
or concert that the people whopare most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary Of the whole
thing, yawning half "a dozen times in
succession2 The, reason of this is
physiological one. Whenlyour attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching. you breatheiinla very shall
low manner and take intol your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently.
when your attention is relaxed, you
have to make up therdeficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all, is
only breathing very deep breath.
If you watch II man at a play and
observe that he is greaslylmoved by
some incident, yon may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and q
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
OF course the yawning. so far from be-
ing a sign of WEAKNESS. is ,sAproof Of
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will obseryeethe same
phenomenon in girl reading Il novel.
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer,
