A Question Of Clocks.

Which Is the best. clock that Ia
right only once year. or q clock that
Is right twice every day? "The latter"
you reply, "unquestionabIy."
Very good. reader: now attend. I
have two clocks; one doesn't go at all
and the other loses n minute a day,
which would you prefer? 'Tbe losing
one" you answer, without doubt"
Now observe. The one which loses
a minute day has TO lose II hours. or
80 minutes. before It Ii right again:
consequently 1t Is only right once In
two years. whereas the other Is evi-
IDENTIFY right as often as the time ,t
points TO come round. which happens
twice day. So you've contradicted
yourself once. "Ah, but" you say,
what's the use Of its being right
twice day, IL I can't tell when the
time comesY
Why. suppose the clock points to 8
o'clock, don't you see that the clock is
right at 8 o'clock? Consequently when
3 o'clock comes your clock 10 right.
"Yes, see that" you reply.
Very good: then you've contradlcted
yourself twice. Now get out of the diff.
fieulty as you can. and don't contradict
yourself again if you can help it,

for the home milk supply would be an
excellent policy. The goat will live
where cow would starve and, while

drought soilny is necessary, leaves,
vegetable refuse, peelings of the apple

All goats, however, will not eat the
same food, and the feeder will have to
study the appetltes Of the individual

beneficial. Roots, oilmeal, oats. corn

The crying demand of the times is a
dish that will not fall out of girls
hands and break Women who keep
help in their kitchens do not make the
complaint Of broken dishes more often
than the woman whose daughters ''do
the dishes" AS soon as man gets n
half dollar saved it has to go for a
meat platter or, pitcher which his
daughter dropped, and there probably
isn't family engaged in housekeeping
that doesn't have to make weekly visits
to q Quecnswnre store. In some homes
the daughters are fined for every plate
they break, but the father has to give
them the money to pay back to him In
fines. so that he is always the loser. If
man is put in good humor by his din
ner, the crash of china heard from the
kitchen ten minutes later drives his
good nature away.-Atchison Globe.

THE REPORTERS METHODS.
Marked Difference From Those Of the

Marked Difference From Those Of the
Orator. Preacher and Novelist.
Probably not one reader in hundred
has paused to notice that newspaper
article is written on n plan juSt the re-
verse of that of sermon or Grafton.
Comparatively few ministers have an
alyzed the subject sufficiently to notice
this fact, and their ignorance of it will
often account for the reluctance of
newspapers to accept matter contribut-
ed by them. 1t is worth the while of
every man and woman to know the
general plan on which newspaper arti-
cles are written. for almost everybody
desires at times to announce something
through the press. The mere knowl-
edge of the theory will not make sue
cessful writer in this or any other de-
partment, but 1t is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
~ reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse,
closing with climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax in
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as. words win let him. Both
are working on principles as clearly
defined as TINT on which sonnet is
constructed. but the modern newspo-
per article is of so much more recent
