may be found that Uncle Russell Sage
has credit with Kingdom Come. On
earth for the last twenty-five years the
old miser has been the butt end of all
complaints. Many manufactured
story of money meanness has been
fastened upon him because he was good
tackle to carry it. His hospitality also
has come in for more than one score.
The latest Is about meeting Of a board
of directors. Having no other place
so cheap, Sage invited the members to
his house, where business was trans

and visions of wine and salads, brandy
and cigars, arose. Refreshments, how
ever, failed to materialize. and when
the old man left the room a director

Ing nothing else in sight, shall help
myself to pear" The action was suit

Twin Chickens,

Twenty-Five dollars tor a pair of
spring chickens is liberal price, yet
Massachusetts, farmer rejected it.
His pair of chickens, he thinks, are
quite unique, for they are twins, five
weeks old, and it is said that two
chickens born from single egg have
never before been proved to live beyond
eight days. The buff brahma hen laid
rather a large egg, but no one thought
much about it until one morning the
farmer saw two bills instead of one
trying to break out of the she'll He
quickly removed the egg to the kitchen,
extricated the twin chicks, wrapped
them in cotton batting and placed them
in the oven. For three weeks the
chickens were kept in doors on diet
of matted milk and brandy dropped
down their throats with medicine
dropper. The twins are now hale and
hearty and run about the yard as Wig
orously as any OF their comrades.
One popularity, however, distinguishes
them from their mates They are ex-
elusive little aristocrats and neither
of them will associate with any other
chicken except his twin.

Chalk Mark on His Coat Got Him in

better off than himself. Both men went

A Modern Instance.

The wonderful advance made in the
science of farming during the last few
years is one of the best examples of
American progressiveness. A little in
cident recounted by the Ashtabula
(Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One
evening, short time ago, a society in
Jefferson needed a gallon of cream.
The committee called up by telephone
the proprietors of milk farm two
miles north of the town, and asked if
they could furnish it. The reply was
that they could as soon as milking was
done. In 30 minutes from the time the
call was made, the cream was deliv-
cred. The milk had been drawn from
the COW, put into separator, the
cream extracted and sent to town by a
man on a bicycle. A few years ago
the committee would have had to send
boy in the afternoon. yesterday IS
milk" would have had to be skinned,
and if the boy had not treed too many
chipmuncks on the way, he might
have got back in time for the festival.
