Joe Place, who lives out on the Bid

The other day he drove into the city
with load Of cordvood. On the top of
the load he had some mysterious par
eel in q short sack, and the contents of
the parcel occasionally moved and
writhed.
When some one came along and asked
him about the bundle Joe ktted up the
shorts sack and Immediately there was
mighty squealing from within.
'Teetle pigs" quoth Joseph, smil-

4 SEAMLESS PATCH.
Gs0 Cur Grandmothers Did It-Foh
low These Careful d.
rectiOnL

Our grandmothers prided themselves
upon their patching. For time the
art languished, but, fortunately, dur
ing the last few years, since sewing
was introduced into the public schools,
the children are all being taught the
manifold uses of the needle, and many
a mother has to confess that her little
daughter can turn out a far better
patch than she can herself. Here Is
a lesson on how TO insert invisibly o
patch In serge, muslin or any material
easily frayed out;
First, cut away the torn or worn out
part, so as 10 form either square or
rectangular opening. Second, TO I'll
up exactly this hole, cut correspond
ing piece from material Of the same
texture and color, allowing on either
side a margin which when frayed out
viii form four projecting tabs in the
semblance OF the arms OF a cross.
Third, apply the patch thus divided
into five exact sections o. squares In
such q way as to have the solid center
filing up the hole to 6 thread. Tack
the four arms on the foundation fram-
ing the hole. Fourth, thread q fine
needle with the two ends Of a thin
strand Of silk, doubled in two 10 form
a loop; with this needle and silk darn
a straight row radiating from one OF
the edges Of the patch. Before draw
ing the silk right through, slip into
the loop one Of the trayed out threads,
which hold lightly In place with the
thumb OF the left hand. Now pull the
needle, aud By this movement both
the silk and the frayed out threads
viii be drawn into the material. the
smaller or pearl stitches scarcely
showing on the right side Be care
ful to have the darning started from
the very edge Of the patch TO avoid
any appearance Of break. Repeat
this thread by thread. These frayed
out threads, being about two inches
long, cannot be threaded and darned
without some skipiul management
hence their introduction into he LOOP
silk to drag them through the run
ming stitches.-CevelsDd Plain Dealer

after dark when the stores are closed,
that he can sneak into manhood un-

he has dollar and a half a week job
In a basement or a back room, or run
ming errands, that no one pays atten-
tlon tG him. Or he may conclude
that because his dad owns house
with bluegrass and elm trees around
IL that he is going into the store or

WOMEN AND MINING
A Number of Instances which show
That Sex l. No Bar to Frac-
tScal Prospecting.

Practically mining does not seem TO
suggest itself as field in which women
can achieve distinction, but the con-
stantly increasing number Of woman
mine owners in Colorado and other
mining states, proves that there Is no
reason why the women Of the future
will not compete with men on equal
ground in this important department
of industry, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Many mines in Colorado are
owned by women and some are even
directed by their feminine owners, who
have quickly adapted themselves 70
the work.
Two or three years ago a school
teacher, while spending her vacation
in Arizona, located some promising
claims through her knowledge Of ge-
ology. She secured some good speci.
mems, sold her locations in Denver, and
then turned professional prospector.
She has followed the business with
persistence and intelligence, and is now
making a most excellent livelihood,
with good prospects of securing a for
tune. A Seattle exchange recently re-
corded the sale of two groups of mines
located by woman in the Kalso (B. c.
district. The location had been made
by the woman and she had stood BY
them for seven years until she finally
negotiated sale. She secured 1925, 900
as her share, the buyers being English
and French capitalists.
Such instances prove that sex is no
bar to practical prospecting, and In q
few years the report Of the labor COM
missioner may show the army Of wom-
en- workers materially increased by q
large number Of feminine mineralo-
gists, chemists, prospectors and mine
owners

hunuewelI,
(From Our Special Correspondent

(From Our Special COrrespcndsnt)
Your correspondent has visited the
once wild and woolly town Of Hume
we'll now a peaceful happy burg; the
resort of the staid and thriving farmer
instead Of the gay and festive cowboy.
Just about twenty years ago the town
was built, and while it did not arise in
a night it was completed in sixty days
from the time the first click of the ham,
mers were heard in the land and was a
fuli-fedged town, receiving vast cattle
trade from the south and west, and
booming beyond anything along the
line.
Your correspondent lived here during
the first three years Of the towns history,
and as town company agent, police
Judge, justice Of the peace and acting
coroner, took an active interest in the
affairs Of the town. As coroner we
buried the bodies Of several men of iron
nerve who, when cut short by careless
bullet, had no one to look after them.
While they apparently had many friends
in life, they went to their graves un-
wept, unhonored and unsung-except
perhaps, for a small following of gam
blers, and cowboys. But all virtue is not
monopolized by the higher strataS Of So
ciety and even in these motley groups
were found those who mourned genu-
inely over the death of these frontier
bad men.
But the town is not taken any more by
the careless cowboy, and while the pop
of the gun is not heard we have in place
the crack of the whip when the farmer
drives his loaded steeds up to the ele-
vator and sells the stuff that is making
Kansas renowned and happy.
The town had a serious fire some years
ago which almost annihilated it, but a
new Hunnewell has sprung up, bright,
prosperous, and thrifty. Some new
dwellings are going up and the town is
generally looking up.
Among the late arrivals are, c. E. Muir
lin, ye genial host of the Santa Fe hotel.
Mr.. Murlin lived at and near Rome, for
over sixteen years, and is well known in
Sumner county as one Of the old timers.
He is getting the hotel in pretty good
shape, and We bespeak for him gener-
Gus patronage.
c. c. Lawhead is also some Of the new
blood as well as young blood of the
town. He runs good barber shop-a
thing much needed in the burg.
While Hunnewell has had hard time
of it in the various border events of the
last twenty years, she is rising Pheniz
like from the ashes and will shine with
splendor as beacon light along the line
Of the now prosperous territory of Ok
lahoma.
