To Keen Hens mt Home.

If you want hens to stay at home and not fly over the fence. you must make home attractive to them. and the best way to make home attractive Is to keep the hens busy. A lot of grain scattered where 1t is hard to find will generally keep chickens busy. This is better than cropping the wings. All the smaller breeds love to fly up on a fence, look around and then fly down on the wrong side, especially If the wrong side Is the garden. But they can never fly over a fence to get back. They will run along the fence and try to pass through a two inch mesh or between close pal
 mgs. but they never so much as look up to see how high the fence Is. In short. a hen in the matter of wander ing will never do that which she ought to do. If she is lr when she ought to be out. you have to catch her and throw her over the fence. As long as they can find grain that they think you have tried to hide from them hens will stay at home and work.-Farm and Ranch.

A proprietary medicine that is not with out honor in the city where it Is made, must be good thing. No chance for de- ception there, where everybody knows all about the men who make it.

There is Mir. Christopher Larsen, the leading painter and decorator of that city, who says:

 There was no semblance of any con certed fighting. For aught the men knew the enemy might be attempting all four sides of the square at once Their business was to destroy what lay in front Of them, to bayonet in the back those who passed over them, and, dy ing, to drag down the slayer till he could be knocked on the head by some averaging gun butt. Dick waited quiet ly with Torpenhow and young doctor till the stress became unendurable. There was no hope of attending to the wounded till the attack was repulsed. so the three moved forward gingerly toward the weakest side.
 There was rush from without, the short hough-hough of the stabbinG SlSdlS, uiiu ioilO Sb by thirty or forty others, dashed through, yelling and hacking. The right flank of the square sucked in aft CT them and the other sides sent help.

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.-Dick Heldar, boy, had been in the care of Mrs Jennett-a cold hearted guardian-for six years when girl, Maisie, slightly younger, is sent to Mrs Jennett. Both children have small allowances but no friends or kin In the few years that they were at Mrs Jenpett's the children had grown very fond of each other, and in fact Dick had made boyish love to Maisie. One afternoon while practicing revolver shooting. MaiSIe tells Dlck that she is going away, and the boy knows that there goes ont of his life something that has become a part of it.. As they use up the last of the cartridges the sun sinks behind the sea. The light held Dicks attention for 8 moment and then there fell upon him a renew
 ed sense of the miraculous, in that he was sanding by Maisie who has prom ised to care for him for an indefinite length of time. The wind drove the girls long black hair across his eyes just ss he fired and the bullet went singing out to the empty sea. Spoiled my aim" said he shaking his head.

Turkey House.

Not many years ago was very anx ious for house for my turkeys, an open shed rather than d house. as l wanted it open on the south side. Now I have almost decided that turkeys are healthier for roasting in the open air, agree with Mir. Matteson that we must not pamper our breeding stock too much if we desire healthy off- spring, If our turkeys will roost in the trees in n place somewhat protected from the storms, they will come through the winter in good shape if they are us strong and healthy as they should be. and our poults next spring will be hardy and if kept free from lice and fed carefully will be easily raised.-Margaret Cavanaugh Daly in Poultry Success.

 ''I don't. My syndicate may, though You can draw more than little. and don't suppose you care much what you get. do you?"
 Not this time. I want my chance first"
 TOrpenhow looked at the sketches again and nodded. "Yes, you're right to take your first chance when you can get it.
 He rode away swiftly through the Gate of the Two Warships. rattled across the causeway into the town and wired to his syndicate:

 The man on the redoubt sat swing ing his legs and murmuring: ''I knew the chance would come sooner or later. By heaven. they'll have to sweat for it if come through this business alive,"
 In the evening Torpenhow was able to announce to his friend that the Cen tral Southern agency was willing to take him on trial, paying expenses for three months. And. by the way, what's your name?' said Torpenhow.
 "Heldar. Do they give me d free hand:"
 They've taken you on chance You must justify the choice. You'd better stick to me. I'm going up country with column, and I'll do what I can for you. Give me some of your sketches taken here, and I'll send 'em along" To himself he said, That's the best bargain the Central Southern has ever made, and they got me cheaply enough"

Dick tired tlcfcG-

Dicks shoulder. The flying grains of powder stung his cheek. It was to Tor, penhow that Dick turned by instinct. The representative of the Central
 Southern syndicate had shaken himself
 clear of his enemy and rose. wiping his
 thumb on his trousers.
 The Arab, both hands to his fore head. screamed aloud. then snatched up his spear and rushed at Torpenhow who was panting under shelter of Dicks revolver. Dick fired twice. and the man dropped Imply. His upturned face lacked one eye.
 The musketry fire redoubled, but cheers mingled with It. The rush had failed. and the enemy were flying. If the heart Of the square were shambles the ground beyond was a butchers shop. Dick thrust his way forward be tween the maddened men, The rem nants of the enemy were retiring, and the few-the very few-English cav airy were riding down the laggards.
 Beyond the lines of the dead q broad blood stained Arab spear cast aside in the retreat lay across a stump of scrub. and beyond this again the illimitable dark level of the desert. The sun caught the steel and turned it into savage red disk. Some one behind him was saying, "Ah, get away, you bruter' Dick raised his revolver and pointed to- ward the desert. His eye was held by the red splash in the distance. and the clamor about him seemed to die down to very faraway whisper like the whisper of a level sea.
 There was the revolver and the red light and the voice of some one soaring something away exactly as had fallen somewhere before, probably in a past life. Dick waited for what should happen afte-ward. Something seemed 10 crack inside his head. and for an in- stant he stood in the dark, a darkness that stung. He fired at random. and the bullet went out across the'desert as he muttered: Spoiled my aim. There aren't any more cartridges. We shall have to run home." He put his hand cred with blood.
 "Old man. you're cut rather badly" said Torpenhow. ''I owe you some thing for this business. Thanks. Stand up! say. you can't be i'll here"
 Dick had fallen stiffiy on Torpen- how's shoulder and was muttering something about aiming low and to the left. Then he sank to the ground and was silent Torpenhow dragged him off to a doctor and sat down to work up his account of what he was pleased 10 call "a sanguinary battle, in which our arms had acquitted themselves" etc.
 All that night when the troops were cncamped by the whaleboats a black figure danced in the strong moonlight on the sand bar and shouted that "khartum, the accursed one was dead Was dead-was dead: that two steam CTS were rock staked on the Nile out side the city. and that all of their crews there remained not one. and Khartum was dead-was dead-was dead"
 But Torpenhow took no heed. He was watching Dick. who was calling aloud to the restless Nile for Maisie- and again Maisie!
 Behold phenomenon said Tor penhOw. rearranging the blanket Here is man. presumably human. who mentions the name of one woman only. And I've seen a good deal of de lirium too. Dick. here's some fizzy drink
