out OF his life.
He was an old puritan-grim, ascot

There we're but three things for him;
his Bible. his sword, and his daughter.
He had laid aside his sword, for he was
growing old; but the book was always
by him, and he loved to interpret II

She was young and beautiful. painting

all. She was stifed in that ugly square
moors overwhelmed her. The cold
gray stones OF her home crushed out
all her life. She longed for the glare
and glitter OF some great city. So one
day she disappeared. ID James Cor
don was left alone with his Bible.
He uttered no reproach, but his grim
mouth seemed to close more firmly
while the lines grew deeper on his rug
ged face. The nelghbors we're disap-
pointed at his apathy. They mention
ed his daughters name TO him in the
hope OF arousing some emotion or to-
rent OF abuse. But he merely half rose
from his chair and looked at them.
They were silent and left him. So a
year passed away. and he began to
grow weary Of sky and moor. He sat
all day in his oaken chair with his
hand on the Bible.
Ruth Gordon's name was on every

brought her all she had ever dreamed,
more than she could ever have hoped.
II was the last night Of the burlesque

house was crowded and she excelled
herself In every song and dance. At
the close OF the piece the stage was
covered with bouquets from admirers
from men she knew and men who wish
ed to be known to her She stood amid
a bank OF flowers and bowed to the
thunders OF applause. She was a queen
for that night at least.
Then. when the curtain had gone

one or two Of the offerings and went of

There is nothing more true than

Preventing Texas Fever.

The trials under direction OF the
Oklahoma Experiment Station, OF dip
ping cattle In the oil preparation pre-
scribed by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. showed that care
full dipping would destroy all the ticks
A varying percentage OF the cattle had
their skin injured by the oil, with con-
siderable irritation OF the eyes. Where
the cattle were driven considerable
distance or exposed to storms soon
after dipping. some Of them died. The
indications are that 1t is much safer
TO dip In warm rather than cold
weather In all cases the cattle should
have good care and feed for some days
after dipping. Driving on dusty roads
is chief cause of injury to the eyes.
The results OF trials by the station
of inoculating northern cattle with
blood Of southern cattle were unsatis-

ed southern or Texas fever, sometimes
with fatal effects. The indications are
that the cattle recovering were at least
partially immune, but the apparent in
ability to control results with our
present knowledge makes It not advis-
able to recommend this method OF

AooNIzINo TRIP ON HORSE CAR
Obiiging Conductor Told tho Passenger
Her House Was Burning.


Back in the days when the North
State street cars were drawn to and
from town by the lazy methods OF
tired horses a woman boarded a car
at Lake street and, taking seat, pre-
pared to enjoy luxurious mental and
physical rest. as she lived north of
Division street, and the trip would be
like sweetness long drawn out. But
fate and the obllging conductor had
other ends in view for the weary pas
senger. When she paid her fare the
amiable official volunteered to break
his usual silence with the consoling re-
mark: Madam, your house Is on fire."
What" screamed the frightened
woman, jumping to her feet In alarm.
yes, madam" explained the conduc-
tor. Il saw the engines out in front
as | passed the corner" The woman
sank back into her seat in demoralized
despair. The car fairly crept north
ward in its homeward journey, and
every turn OF the wheels brought
new trial and trouble to the frightened
house owner. She pictured her chill
dren burned as the greatest OF evils
added to the loss of her furniture and
clothes as the least. She urged the
conductor to hurry, he in turn argued
with the driver, who threatened the
backs OF the bony horses with the reins
until they managed to go a trife faster
than a walk. But to the imprisoned
victim the car fairly crept through
space. She counted every street as II
was left behind, and two squares be-
fore she could possibly reach home she
was out on the front platform accom-
panied by the sympathetic conductor,
endeavoring to discover signs Of the
narrowing conflagration in front of her
home. And, all too true, there were
the engines and firemen, there was the
smoke II not the fire Issuing from the
windows, there was the usual gathered
crowd. "Oh, hurry" she cried out to
the driver. and hurry he certainly did.
The horses fairly galloped up State
street, and within a half block of Di-
vision street the harassed passenger
jumped from the platform, unable
longer to bear the strain of waiting.
She ran up the middle OF the street to
her own familiar block of houses, only
to find her own home safe and sound,
and her own children in their healthy
bodies buslly helping the firemen. For
It was the next door home OF her
neighbor that was burning.

From time to time our attention Is
called TO some publication or some ar
ticle In some paper recounting the i'm
meuse profits to be made in the poul-
t'g business by amateurs. One would
suppose that the only thing necessary
to great wealth would be to buy a few
hundred eggs and get them Matched
in some way. The rest would be easy.
Not long ago we saw a book on how
to make $500 in a angle year from an
investment OF Sl2. The absurdity will
be apparent to every poultry raiser.

other enterprises. The fowls COM
