All the heavy dressers on the other side are going about with one button missing from the waistcoat-the third button from the bottom.

BOY GETS A BIG ELECTRIC SHOCK
Part of 10000 Volts Goes Through Him Was Thought to be Dead for Time.

Hartford, Conn. June T. Arthur Budds, 9 years old, ia alive tonight, with a fair prospect of recovery. all though he received a current of elec- tricity through his body this morning which was supposed to have a voltage of 10000. The boy was out to see a cir GUS parade, and in order to get a bet ter view climbed or a shed, through which the heavy cables of the power station of the Hartford Electric Light company pass into the underground conduits, in which they are taken through the center of the city to the main station. These wires carry a l0,- 0O0 voltage current which is reduced at the station here before being sent out through the city on service.
 In order to lift himself up Arthur caught hold of one of the cables and received a shock. He was unable to let go the cables and dangled in the air for a minute or 50 until he was taken down unconscious and apparently dead. Dr. Taylor worked over him for long time, using artificial respiration, and was finally rewarded by seeing the boy

Shall We Keep on Swimming.

Go where one will among farmers
milking from 5 to 80 COWS. and if a
separator is not already on the farm
the whole family can frequently be
found discussing the great question Of
whether it will pay to have one or not
Of course all the agents and other in
terested parties will tell us that it will
pay and pay big to have one. and a
will, but what we would like to get at
is, How do those using separators feel
about it? Iend we should esteem it a
great favor both to ourselves and our
readers if those who have had expert
ence with these costly machines would
let us know just what they think about
them and how small a number of COWS
in their judgment they would advise
buying one for A writer in an ex-
change has figured the matter out in a
very practical manner and we copy the
same as follows: With ten good cows
nobody who makes milk into butter
can afford to be without separator,
for it will save $50 pounds Of butter in
year. said an expert dairyman Of the
western states not long ago. The cost
Of the separator will be 1925. The in

The manager Of one Of the best whole
milk creameries in one Of the best
creamery districts of Iowa says that
for three months his creamery accept
ed milk from patrons So fai removed
that it was necessary to shut down the
separator and start up again when the
milk came, and that there was a re-
sultant loss of 600 pounds of butter
during that period, which he ascribes
to stopping and starting the separator.
He says it was found to be impossible
to skim as clean after the separator
had been stopped as before. From this
/ he argues as follows: Suppose a cream
cry has 100 patrons and they all use
farm separatOrs. This makes 100 sepa-
rate starts and stops. and the loss will
perhaps more than overbalance any
claimed gain from the use Of farm
separators.
Now. this is an entirely new thing,
says The Creamery Journal. Take it
at this time of the year, when the
factory separates but once in two days.
The 100 patrons separating once day
have 200 stops to the factory separa-
tors one, and if as rule they separate
| twice a day. they have 400 Of these
losses to the one from the factory
separator. If there be a loss.
But this one statement. though from
an excellent manager and close OBJ
server. does not prove his side. 1t only
opens it up for investigation.
The factory separator gets heavily
coated with slime. and perhaps this
is the reason why it makes waste in
starting and stopping. In fact, as all
boys know, it is sometimes absolutely
necessary to shut down and clean out
| the bowl to prevent waste Of butter
| fat. If the creamery man in this case
| shut down and then started up his
| clogged bowl without first cleaning,
that would cause loss. but it doesn't
| apply to the farm separator, which
| never gets in fix. because the milk
| is always fresh and sweet. And there
is much more to this. The farm sepa-
rator has a less exacting task. for the
milk Is In the best condition-no stale,

Little Harry's DIPLOMACY.

Little Harry was very fond of sweet
things to eat. and especially of pud-
dings, which were his favorite dessert.
Accordingly his dinners were made a
burden to him, since his parents per-
sisted that he must make his meals
off the substantials and leave what
Harry called the good things until last.
One day while Harry's nostrils were
tickled with the tantaliZing odors of
his most favored pudding a scheme
was born in his brain that points his
way to future greatness. When his
mother put before him a plate Of meat
and potatoes he eyed it a moment in
apparent ecstasy; then. showing it re-
gretfully away. he said:

WORDS.

Words are great forces in the realm of life.
Be careful of their use. Who talks of hate,
OF poverty, of sickness, but sets rife
These very elements to mar his fate
When love. health, happiness and plenty hear
Their names repeated over day by day,
They wing their way like answering fairies near.
Then nestle down within our homes to stay.
Who talks of evil conures into shape
That formless thing and gives it life and scope.
This is the law; then let no word escape
That does not breathe of everlasting hope.
