the opposite case may be. | know
what you were going to say-that you

that you will and it will work out all

is an American through and through,
and who loves to deiye into all beliefs

young girl she declared she'd never
marry a foreigner or a Catholic, be-
cause she felt the Catholic and
Protestant should never live in the

slider marrying a man shorter than
herself. Well, when she did marry
the man she chose was a Spaniard, a
Catholic Of the deepest dye, and she
lowered at least head above him.
Then ! knew another lady who, when
she was a young girl, particularly dis
liked two men in the neighborhood
-one bearing the given name of Eli

She made & solemn vow that the man

with the Dinner.
A group Of men stood in the sta
ton one day this week discussing din
ing table incidents they had wit
messed in crowded restaurants. Sew
eral interesting stories had been told
when Mr.. Cobaugh joined the party,
says the Washington Star. he re-
called an incident that occurred at a
town on the line Of one of the big
railroads where he was then running
a hotel. There were a number of Ia
bles in the dining-room, and one in
the extreme rear end was reserved
for the family.
1t happened that a couple on their
wedding trip stopped at the hotel
one night, and in the morning when
they went to the dining-room the
only vacant table in the room was the
one set apart for the family.
''Mrs. Cobaugh had not been feel
ing the best in the world and the doc
tor had ordered a tonic for her, re-
lated MIR. Cobaugh. ''The tonic was
kept on the table all the time, in or
der that the patient would not for
get her dose. 1t was labeled: One
tablespoon after meals
"The couple had evidently never
stopped at a hotel before" continued
the restaurant man, "and for the
first time they did remarkably well.
They ordered everything on the
menu card, and when the meal was
finished the husband picked up the
bottle, read the directions and gave
his better half a dose as directed.
Then he tok a dose himself, said he
felt better and walked out with a self
satisfied look about him. The tonic
was left on the table no longer"

A Woman Who Thinks Her vsrnifOm
Appendix Is Missing.

appendix - missing.
While l would not care to become
involved in a discussion on the sci
entifc phases Of such a question,
says d. R. Saunders, in Washington
Times, l, nevertheless, venture to ire
mark that it seems TO me a woman
ought to know better than any one
sewhether or not she has her vermi-
form appendix concealed about her
person. Mrs. Fred johnson, Of Min
neapolis, called in a Chicago surgeon
not long ago for the purpose Of per-
forming some sort Of operation which
necessitated the cutting open of that
part Of her mortal frame in which
the appendix lives and moves and has
its being, and now she is suing the
surgeon for having feloniously alb
straeted the article in question. Just
why a surgeon should covet his
neighbours or patients appendix, and
just why any person should feel it a
deprivation to be robbed of one, re-
membering that they are as full Of
ills as was Pandora's box, is some
thing Of a mystery; but, anyway, Mrs.
johnson is calling strenuously for
hers. The surgeon confesses that he
told his patient her appendix had
been removed, thinking the news
would do her good, but that in reality
it is still in business at the old stand.
Mrs. johnson, however, denies the
possession Of the appendix. 81 can
feel the place where it used to be-
she says, "and it isn't there now
If | we're on the jury in this case,
should favor a verdict for Mrs. John,
son. It was her appendix, and hen
present condition Of lonesomenesi
must surely mean that she has beer
separated from it."

0vsrsssrI Of q Massachusetts, College
Say It Is highly Artificial.


Say It Is Highly Artificial.
The report Of the board of over
seers Of Tufts college, says the Bos-
ton Transcript, calls attention to the
encouraging evidence of success
shown by the increase in m membership
in the college Of letters, the higher
standards Of admission and gradua-
ton, the constantly broadening
courses Of study, and the growing
respect on the part of the public.
Touching the student codeOf morals,
the report says;
1T is well understood that the
student body in most colleges has al
ways sanctioned a highly artificial
code Of morals which thoughtful
men would repudiate at once in the
domain Of business or of society.
This peculiar code, which tolerates
cheating in examinations, justifes
the destruction Of private property in
the celebration Of athletic victories,
encourages boorish manners and va
rious forms of reprehensible conduct,
and cause strained relations be-
tween professors and students, was
] perhaps a natural o%utgrowth of the
Inhexible curriculum and the pa
ternal form of college government
which prevailed until comparatively
recent years. Liberal schemes of
elective courses have been adopted,
and college faculties have taken en-
lightened views of questions of dis
cipline, but notifications Of the
student code have been made much
more slowly. What has occurred in
other institutions during the past
year has called special attention to
this matter, and there is reason to
fear that the moral atmosphere at
Tufts college is not essentially diff
ferent from that in other institu-
tons. If the college can succeed in
changing radically this pernicious
code, it will reap a rich reward both
in enyiable reputation and lasting
moral results. Ways and means can
be devised and made effective only
by the faculty, and we desire to draw
special attention to the urgent need
Of careful consideration Of this sub
ject by that body.
"We wish, in this connection, to
record our conviction that it is never
justifable for college authorities tc
ignore or condone misdemeanors on
the part Of students which would
lead to action in the police courts il
the names Of the offenders were mo-
borne on the college rolls. Educa
ton is Of little value if it does MOI
develop a profound respect for Law
and order. ANY man who is in.
capable Of intelligent self control il
a dangerous element in a democratic
state. The arrest and conviction O.
a few bumptious youths, followed BY
their prompt dismissal from college
would prove an object lesson in citi
zenship of incalculable value to thu
entire student body"

According to Professor Henry, at
the prices charged for commercial
fertilizers the manurial value of bran
is $134S and if you could buy it for
that price you would virtually put the
old proverb to the lie. Of course we
are not all in need of commercial fer
tilizers at current prices, but under
the circumstances we can afford to
discount it some fifty percent, putting
the money in the safest bank in the
world-our land.
The question is, are you taking
care of this gold mine Gas it is called
in Denmark or do you let it go to
waste?

Rouen Ducks.

One of the hardest and best ducks
is the Rouen. The head of the drake
is lustrous green, the bill being
greenish yellow, with bean at the
tip. The neck has a distinct white
ring in the lower part, which should
not quite meet at the back. The up
per part of the back is ash gray,
mixed with green, and lustrous green
on the lower part, the saddle coverts
being streaked with brown lines. The
breast is purplish brown, with no
gray, the under part of the body gray,
being lighter behind, with black I'M
der the tail. The wings are grayish
brown, mixed with green, with a
broad ribbon of purple, with green
and blue fringes, edged with white.
The tail is ashy white, the outer web
in old birds edged with white. Legs
orange, with brownish tinge. The
duck is deep brown on the head,
with two light brown stripes on each
side, dark orange bill, having a bean
at the tip, and dark blOtch on the
upper part. The neck is light brown,
with dark penciling, and no ring. The
back is light brown, marked with
green; breast dark brown, penciled.
The under part of the body and sides
is grayish brown, penciled with dark
er brown; wings, grayish brown

nection it may be stated that there
is nothing fancy in breeding choice
poultry" But few stop for pleasure
or fancy" the object being to Sc
cure as large profits as possible. The
loss resulting from the use of unfit
animals (including poultry on farms
is larger than all the taxes paid by
farmers, and the gain of few more

sum in a year.

THE ALL AROUND FARMER.


to the full capacity of his land during
any season, but can also turn this
grain into meats of various kinds ac-
cording to his taste and the wants of
the market. In other words, not mere
ly grain grower, but stockman who
understands breeding, growing and
finishing stock, as we'll as producing
the grain, grass and forage with which
to finish them, says Wallace's Farmer.
There are some men who are splendid
grain growers, but for lack of skill in
breeding and fitting live stock are
obliged to sell their corn and other
grain at market prices 1t is worth
more to them as raw material than as
a finished product, while there are 9th
er men in the same neighborhood who
can buy this grain at market prices
and by feeding it make money by con-
verting it into meats.
The all around farmer has his in
nings this year. The farmer who can
raise nothing but grain is at ire
mendous disadvantage. The season
has given many of these farmers grain
which has low market value, and corn,
oats, wheat and barley that will not
grade and must be sold for whatever
the neighboring feeder is willing to-
give. We hear of some damaged oats,
for example, being sold for ten cents
a bushel this year.
We speak of this now to emphasize
the necessity, particularly on the part
of our younger readers, of becoming
all around farmers, acquiring the
knowledge and skill necessary to-
breed, rear and fit cattle, even if cir
cumstances require that in average
years they grow their grain for ship
ment of raw material. They can read
lily see the advantage they will have
if they are not put in the hole such
years as this and obliged to sell their
stuff for whatever some other man will
give This knowledge may be acquired
by close observation of the methods of
all around farmers. The theory may
be acquired by close reading of first
class agricultural papers. The art of it
may be acquired by beginning in a
small way and learning the stock bust
ness, for rest assured that it is bust
ness in itself The art can be acquired
only by the practice of it, in which it
is like all other parts. Whether in
religion, politics, the professions, bust
ness or in farming, there is nothing
good worth having that can be acquir-
ed except by the actual doing of it.
He will find room in acquiring the
theory and practice of stock raising
for all the capacity with which nature
has endowed him, or which has been
developed by the education of our
schools To the young man just start
ing to farm our advice would be: Do
not think about starting with a lower
aim than to learn all about every de-
partment of the business and become
an all round farmer. Boys never start
out to become second or third class
fellows. They simply fall into these
classes because they don't start with
a fixed purpose. Aim high and then
keep ever looking at it and you will
get there.
