Along in the afternoon they were
passing the Hotel Vendome and the
neighhors came out and hailed the car
not recognizing George. They had been
sight seeing and they had all registered
ut the hotel in hopes of seeing their
names in the newspapers. OF course
George would not let them pay cent.
and as they nearly filed the car and
rode way out to Brookline he didn't
make much money that trip But he
left them at Brooklyn and ran back
quickly to the shopping district, where
he soon made up a load.
One time stout, prosperous looking
man got upon the car and asked George
what line he belonged to. George told
him politely that it was little line Of
his own.
Then the prosperous looking man,
who said he was the president of one
of the leading car lines, quoted the IA
nous words of Gen. Grant and said:
DO you propose to fight it out on this
line all summer?
mo, sir, as soon as | raise the mort
gage | am going to take my car home
and make hen house out of it,"
Are you country boy?" asked the
man.
i am, sir, said George proudly.
run all you want, my boy. / give
You permission. / was once country
hoy myself and if you can make an
honest penny out of these people You
deserve to raise your mortgage. Only
you must give me dollar to pay for
your license"
George handed him the dollar and he
got off the car. And now | must tell
YOU that the man was not president of
any company, but simply a bad man
who saw chance to make a dollar out
Of simple hearted George. But George
was rewarded, as big theatre party
boarded the car and rode five blocks to
the theatre, and when they left he count
cd UP his money and found that he had
Just enough to raise the mortgage.

ear wasn't home made, and this so in
eensed Mr.. Starbuck that he drove them
all ont
But by this time it was nearly twelve
o'clock so they ran down to the freight
yards and were lucky enough TO find
The same brakeman there. The neigh
bors had come, too, all tired, out and
loaded down with handbflls and samples
of different foods, for they had been to Il
food show at the Mechanics Institute.
They reached Graytown early in the
morning The faithful oxen had come
down to meet them and this time all
the neighbors helped TO lift the car onto
the wagon, so it made it easier.
Then when they had reached the Star
bucks George raised the mortgage as
high as he could and they all cheered
and cheered aud told him they had
never had so good time in their lives
and they hoped he'd have many happy
returns of the day,
Then George put the trolley car into
the hen yard and the hens took to it
at once.
As for George he became simple
country boy once more. But If he had
been a city boy he would have run that
trolley car into the ground.
But there is not city hoy in the United
States from Portland, Maine, to Port
land, Oregon, who could have built q
trolley car inside of week, inside OF a
shed with "a jack knife and a scythe.

1t was eight o'clock and as none of
them had had a bite to eat all day he
ran the car off on a siding and they
took dinner at the Parker House whore
they had Parker House rolls and maple
syrup.
After dinner they went back to the
car and found it full of street boys.
Want a ride?" asked George, and the
street boys shouted yes, 50 George took
them all over the city for nothing. But
am sorry to say that the boys We're
rude enough to ask him whether the

senger stayed in and said: ''Tlnat was
clever move" So George said he
might ride all day long If he wanted to
and although he was very busy he did
ride all day long because such chances
don't come very often.

AN ENDLESS WARFARE.
The Farmers Struggle Against Poui-
try Pests and Injurious Germs
Knows No End.

In all lines of live stock husbandry
cleanliness is the one great demand.
The war against dirt and hence against
bacteria and vermin is a war that will
know no end. Let no man suppose
that he can cleanse his house and pens
and trust them to keep clean. The bat
tie must be fought over and over again
and the successful poultryman is the
determined fighter. The first campaign
must be made against lice and mites
Whitewashing the pens is supposed 10
be great remedy. and without dotbt
it is good one, but it is possible for
the pens to be kept clear of lice with
out the use Of lime. We realize the
fact that whitewashing has it's disad-
vantages. Not only does the pen soon
get TO looking very dirty inside. on ac-
count of all dirt showing on the white
background, but very often the pens
become nuisance in that one cannot
step inside them without having the
marks remain or his clothes. There
are washes that may be used and be
quite effective as lime. The man that
has sprayer can use it easily in his
chicken house and thoroughly wet all
exposed surfaces All cracks should be
obliterated, and this is not hard thing
to do If the poultry raiser has a prop
erly built house. But whether lime or
something else be used the work must
be carefully followed up. 1t is even
best to repeat the labor frequently.
even if there be no signs Of the littl,
monsters. Their very minuteness is a
tremendous advantage given them by
nature, and an advantage that lays
upon US the necessity of eternal war
faTe.-Farmers' Review.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Provide the sitting hens with dark
nests.
Table scraps make a good poultry
food now.
The Pekin are the handsomest breed
Of ducks.
Goose eggs require one month for
Matching.
Mix the corn meal with milk for the
little chickens.
Boiled peas and beans, fed warm, are
excellent egg foods.
Geese and ducks should not be picked
while laying regularly.
In selecting the sitters be careful to
secure those tina, are gentle.
Small eggs are likely to come from
too much fatness Of the hens.
The best Matching eggs are those laid
in the spring by the mature hens.
Any number of pigeons may be kept
together in one building if the sexes are
equal in numbers.
Burning sulphur and tobacco in poul-
try houses is one Of the best ways Of
Kidding it Of lice.
One Of the easiest ways of keeping a
poultry yard clean is to give it fire.
quent dressing with sand.
1t costs about a cent week up to ten
weeks old TO feed chick. Then 1t
should weight two pounds.-St. Louis
