Somewhat OF a Liar His Own Self.

The horrible news comes from
Kansas that young man climbed a
corn stalk recently to see how the
ears were getting along, and now the
corn is growing up faster than he can
climb down. Three men have I'M
dertaken to cut down the stalk, but
owing to rapid growth, it is feared
that they will not succeed In time to
prevent his starvation. He is sub
sisting on raw corn and has already
thrown down four bushels of cObs,
and 1t is now thought that his supply
is almost exhausted. When the men
began the attempt of cutting down
the stalk they were able to converse
with the young man by means of a
speaking trumpet, and could see
him plainly with pair OF field
glasses. Now, however, although
he il climbing downward to the best
of his ability, he has disappeared
from view in the skies. and the only
evidence that he IL still on the stalk
is the occasional falling OF a COB from
above, which usually penetrates the
earth about eight feet.

Leg Broken.

We regret to learn that Miss Sallie
Chinn, one of the young lady teachers
at the Institute for Predetermined
children, was so unfortunate as to
fall, while on the ice, on Tuesday
afternoon, and break both bones Of
her left leg.
The break was very bad one and
Miss Chinn suffered greatly for two
drys, but is somewhat better now,
and her physicians think that she
will not be permanently disabled.

4 A Connecticut cat has established q
new record for intelligence. This cat
was the mother Of an interesting fam
lily of six kittens, and their home was
in basket in one corner of the base
ment kitchen. With them the affe.c-
tionate mother passed most of her
time, but one day she found herself
shut into the diniLg-room. After a
time the kittens began tomew and the
old cat did likewise. BY way Of
the shaft of the dumb waiter between
the two rooms the voices were audible,
and each cried louder on hearing the
other. Finally, in her desperation,
the old cat, remembering that she had
seen plates and dishes ascending and
descending on the dumb waiter,
climbed upon the shelf, and by her own
weight began 10 slide down to her fam
lily. Persons in the kitchen heard the
slide coming and went to it to take
whatever might have been sent down,
when out walked the cat, and there
was wonder in the Kitchen and peace
in the kitten family.-Golden Days.

SHE WANTED THE SEAT.
Oue Of Those Incidents That Makes
Travelling on the Railroad
Interesting.


give it to mel"
The speaker was woman in Den
YER & Rio Grande train that had just
pulled out Of Colorado Springs toward
Denver few days ago. She spoke to
9 neatly-dressed lady who sat gazing
at the mountains in the distance with
an air Of interest that betokened her
eastern blood The lady to whom the
remark was addressed paid no atten-
tion--she really was unaware that she
had been spoken to.
81 say, that's my seat, and want it,
said the woman who stood up. This
time her tone was louder and more
commanding.
The other lady drew her head in the
window, and. adjusting her glasses, in
quired in a modest manner if she had
been addressed.
"You bet," said the other; Il said
that seat was taken"
An expression of combined amuse-
ment and Indignation crept over the
well-cut features of the eastern lady,
and she said: Il think you are mis-
taken; there was no one and no bag
gage here when entered the car"
With this she turned and refused to
heed the further remarks of the wom-
an in the aisle. All of the passengers
had turned their attention to the rude
manner of the woman who was after
the seat, and some sneered while
others snickered
She sat down uncomfortably close to
the lady who had the seat and patted
her foot impatiently.
Suddenly she jumped up and seized
hand bag that belonged to the lady
and strutted TO the other end of the
car with it. She was disappointed,
however. for the owner of the bag
failed to follow it and vacate the seat,
as was the desire of the other party,
and kindly passenger in the front
end of the car took charge of the bag
and preserved it for its owner.
This infuriated the rude woman.
Walking back to the seat she had COW
eted for the last half hour without
any lust claim whatever to it, she
Topped down in the lap of the eastern
lady and sat there.
The lady on the seat was in dilem-
ma she knew not how to avoid with
out allowing herself to be imposed on.
"What claim have you to this seat?"
she asked, looking up at the big, red
faced woman, who seemed as If she
weighed a ton.
II saw this seat as came down the
platform and chose 10 occupy 1t, but
when l came in you were in it. l had
my eye on II first and am going to

"All right. lady (emphasized), just

sSure you won't get II again if I get
upP I've got to get out at Palmer Lake
and meet my sister. and she win want
the other half" said the essence OF
rudeness, shaking her greasy finger
uncomfortably close to the nose of the
woman she was sitting on.
"I'll not only agree to leave you the
| seat, but will be pleased to ride in the
next car as long as you are in here" !"
was the reply. and the red-faced WON,

HOME POISONING.
The Ordinary Pantry II a Prolific
Source Of Danger to
Good Foods.

1t is very desirable that the condi.
tions under which food may become
poisonous should receive more prac-
tical consideration than they do. A
well-known physician has called at
tention to some glaring defects in the
loca ton of food storerooms, which are
worthy OF attention. In house con-
struction the position of the pantry
is too often treated as of minor impor-
lance. In some houses the space I'M
der the stairs or some equally un-
suitable and inadequately lighted and
ventilated place is thought good
enough for the purpose. In a great
number the pantry is small offshoot
from the house, the ceiling, floor and
walls often being damp, owing to
faulty construction; in some of these
matters are rendered worse by the
water taps being placed therein with.
out any provision being made for car
rying away the droppings from the
tap or overflow, from vessels into
which the water is run. One of the
most frequent entries in his inspection
notebook is defective yard pavement"
permitting of soakage of filth into the
soil underneath. Not only is the soil
thus rendered good breeding ground
for pathogenic microbes, but it also
supplies those conditions requisite for

SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.

Only keep your best sheep. Fatten
and market all the old ewes.
Breed from young ewes. They

Ter lambs.
In recent transactions in sheep in
Montana three dollars per head has
been paid for yearling and two-year-
old ewes.
A.great deal depends on your soil
and pasture as to the kind Of sheep
you raise. Heavy herds will not do as
well as smaller ones.
It takes from three to four bushels
of grain to fatten a sheep, and we
figure on ten tons of roughness for
100 sheep during the average feeding
season.
Sheltering lambs from heavy, cold
transforms which occur for a month
and half before winter sets in is
economy. They should be regularly
housed every night. They should be
taught to eat grain in early autumn.
1t is we'll to have racks of hay ready
for. them in their stables, and they
will soon learn to eat.-Rural World.

removed his hat and placed it on the

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
A Large Honey Crop Depends Upon
the Strength, Not the Number,
of Colonies.

If we would have bees in tine best
possible condition to obtain a large
yield of honey we would commence
operations as early as possible. Il large
honey crop depends principally upon
the strength of colonies, and not upon
the number of colonies. One good col
ony that is strong in numbers, and in
every way in proper condition, will
store more surplus honey than doztn
weak ones, and the proper thing to do
is to get everyone as near the desired
strength and condition, and also at the
time needed. Localities differ to some
extent as to the time of the principal
honey harvest, but just at the opening
of the same is the time we want our
colonies ready. Usually we are safe in
commencing as soon as the wealth will
permit.
The first thing is to examine every
colony as to condition. Good prolific
queens, and those only, can we build
upon. It is useless to spend time. with
inferior queens, for there is no plan
to work to, to make a success of such.
Old queens, say from three years old
| and over, may all be discarded, as there
is no exception at this age worth both
ering with. A few such queens may
seem all right at the beginning, but
in the end they will not prove so, and
will be everlastingly starting queen
cells and preparing to swarm.
II profitable queens are not available
the best thing to do is to unite all col
onies containing inferior queens with
those having good young prolific
queens. While this may cut down the
number of colonies, it will pay in the
end. This defect may always be pro-
vided for during the fall previous if
proper precautions are taken to re-
queen all such colonies, and at this time
we have a good chance to detect all in
ferior queens, and also owing to the
supply of cheap queens it is much less
| expensive and less troublesome at this
time.-A. H. Duff. in National Rural.
