THE ORGANISE.

wonder how the organist
Can do so many tnngs:
dies getting ready long before
81, Inc choir stands up and sings;
des pressing buttons pushing stops:
He's pulling here and there.
And testing all the working parts
While listening to the prayer.
tic runs a mighty big machine.
It's full OF funny things:
A mass of boxes, pipes and tubes.
And sticks and Stats and strings;
There's little whistles for 3 cent,
I'm rows and rows and rows;
III bet there's twenty miles OF tubes
As large as garden hose.
There's scores, as round as stovepipes, and
There's lots 30 big and wide,
That several little boys | know
Could play around inside;
From little bits of piccolos
That hardly make a toot,
There's every size up to the great
Big elevator chute.
The organist knows every one,
And how they ought to go;
lie makes them rumble like storm,
Or plays them sweet and low;
At times you think them very near;
At times they re soaring high,
Like angels voices, singing far
On, somewhere IN the sky.
For he can take this structure that's
rs big MS any house
And make IL squeak as softly az
\ tiny little mouse:
And then he'll jerk out something with.
y movement of the hand.
And make YOU think you're listening tc
military band
He plays it with his fingers and
lie plays ii with his toes,
And If he really wanted 20
He d play 1t with his nose;
He's sliding up and down the bench,
He's working with his knees,
He's dancing round with both his feet
As lively as you please
I always like to take a seat

Hes better than n sermon, and

Dangers tn Close Keeping.


In hot weather the chickens suffer
the most from overcrowding. 1t IS
impossible to make them comfortable
in summer unless given plenty Of room
ana air. Overcrowding in hot weather
usually causes sickness and disease
Usually the colonies on the average
farm are too large anyway. They
run over rather than under the limit
In most cases, and if this is kept up
i'm summer it is bound to produce evil
results. 1t is pitlful to see the good
layers slowly drOop and crawl away
to some dark cool corner to die What
can one do when they show this de
termination to droOp and die? 1t is
usually impossible to do anything.
The layers usually suffer from the
effects Of the heat more than we i'm
agine. When a hen must 20 and sit
on a hot nest for an hour each day
to lay an egg, it may be surmised that
il Is tax on her system Of no small
degree. Indeed, think this persistent
laying in hot weather breaks down
more good layers than anything else.
We can to a certain extent make the

went back to bed, under the window

Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no longer
the paint to be pros oerous with.
As every body knows, lead and OIL
chalks or powders off In about three
years-three years is Its limit.
Painters are putting little zinc IN
their lead to make IL tcugh-it lasts
q good three years with little zinc.
But painters don't like the job NJ
mixing zinc. It's tedious job, and
both being white, nobody knows whe n
the mixing is thouroueh. 1t gets
half.mixed; and the paint goes on a
streak Of lead and streak OF zinc.
That is not good work.
The mistake made IL trying t o do
by hand what is done better by ma
chlnery. Hand work can't compare
with machine work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint.
It wears twice as long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost of keeping q

NO PERMIT ISSUED

A burial was made in Elmwood
cemetery last week, so 1t is reported,
for which no burial permit was ever
issued. And IS Is doubtful II the
cemetery commissioners knew OF the
affair so quiet was 1t all kept.
As the story e oes a very estimable
woman in this city lost her favorite
cat lost week. Her backyard was not
good enough for it's remains so she de-
termined to put them near the re-
mains of her husband, who is sleeping
his last sleep In Elmwood cemetery.
She had a nice wooden box made
and placed in it the remains Of the
departed cat together with some
flowers. She had grave dug in the
cemetery beside that Of her husband
and deposited therein the box ane
it's contents so that the two objeot'
that she loved most In life might b.
near each other In death.
And this In brief is the story o.
how a cat is buried In Elmwood GENE
