"Ah, gosdiew exclaimed the child.

"Ah, go1Iie" exclaimed the child.
I'm glad aren't you, uncle?'
Yes, dear, but there was something
about her that Cubic could not under
stand. He finally came to the conclu-
sion that she did not care for him any
more"
The man was gazing earnestly into
the fire as he spoke; he seemed to have
forgotten the presence of the child
Then he looked down and smiled. She
had fallen asleep.

smile, found out in some way that he
had asked to marry her only because
of his fathers dying wish, and she pos
itiyely refused to do So
"But supposing Flutlic did not know
of this. Surprising she had known he
was engaged, but never heard of the
breaking of the engagement until to-
day" said the girl gently. "If she had
not known, would the big bear have
forgiven her for doing as she did?"
A light shone in the mans cycs-a
light that revealed dawning hope.
"Was that the only reason" he asked
quickly. WAS the bca-oh, hang the

The room was dark save for the
bright CLEAN from the hearth. In a
comfortable armchair before the fire a
man reclincd. On the rug in front of
him little child was sitting, watching
the glowing embers. over in dim
corner girl was playing very softly
50 softly that the melody seemed to be
but part Of the gathering shadows.

said the child. Are you lonesome be-
cause you're going away tomorrow"
"Perhaps that's it, sweetheart. l

She jumped up from the rug and
climbed on his knees, putting her little
arms around his neck and kissing him.
Are you sorry I'm going away"
ooh, yes indeed No one ever tells
me the nice stories you do, Uncle Fred.
Won't YOU please tell me story now

The child pulled his head down close
TO hers and kissed him. lie began:
once upon Il time there lived two
small bears who were playmatcs They
were very happy and used to dwell in
a sort OF fairylnnd all of their own.
But by and by the boy bear, who was
called Cubic, was told by his father,
Big Bruin, that he was old enough to
20 away to school. When Cubic
heard this, he went to little Fluffie his
playmate, and told her the woeful news,
and she tried to comfort him.
"Itll only be for little while, Cub

stock sales first became popular in the
West, but are now fairly common ev.
erywhere in the stock-growing sec
lions. A cattle dealer of long expert
ence lays great stress on preparing ami
mails especially for the sale. Even il
an animal is well bred, has a good out,
line and other requirements, if its con.
dition is unsatisfactory in any way, its
good qualities will be overlooked. The
cattle must be fed into good flesh and
must be we'll groOmed and thorOughlJ
cleaned. This expert believes in judi.
cious advertising as means of prOmot
ing n sale. He advises that the sale bC
held under cover in order to be prepar
ed for any kind of weather. The con
struction of temporary sheds of few
boards and props will make the buyers
comfortable. Before the sale begins
coffee and sandwiches, or food of sim
liar kind, are passed around. Well
fed people make lively buyers. Finally
provide good auctioneer, one whc
knows all about stock and pedigree!
and how to describe them to the bes
advantage. Good assistants should b,
provided to handle the animals in tn,
ring. The sale is carried on briskly
no unnecessary pauses. These sugges
lions apply to general public sales O
any kind.-American Cultivator.

How to Treat Henves.

In answer to an inquiry as to the
treatment of heaves, a correspondent
of the National Stockman writes as
follows: ITO answer you in relation Ia
what you particularly wish to know, !
would have to know the age Of YOU
horse and manner of breathing, that
might locate the trouble which pro
duces his irregular breathing. | will
say, however, that all forms of heaves
are incurable The best that can be
done is to alleviate. In old chronic
cases of sO-called bilious heaves the
first thing to do will be to regulate the
feeding by feeding hay very sparingly
and oats plentifully. Wet all hay with
lime water and give Fowler's solution
of arsenic In tablespoonful doses three
times per day. This is best given by
mixing with a half pint of water anC
use to wet the grain feed. SO-calleG
bronchial heaves can be relieved by
feeding as above recommended and Civ
ing In the grain feed a tablespoon Of 1
mixture Of powdered elecampane ROOT
3 ounces, ginger 2 ounces, powdered
squills 2 ounces, powdered lobelia ;
ounces, fenugrec ounces, chlorate OF
potash 4 ounces.

Gr.ep Food for Poultry.

If you doubt the Importance of green
feed for fowls in winter hand them
sample and see the voracity with
which 1t is devoured. When in doubt
as to chicken feed, ask the hens about
it. They know what they want and
what they need. Everybody who raises
fowls should make provision for some
green stuff for the winter. A little
patch of winter grain, alfalfa, rescue
grass, turnips, beets, cabbage or any
root or vegetable that fowls will eat
Is good for them and will encourage
hens to lay. Hens have no almanac,
and the only way they have for distin-
gushing the seasons is by the sort of
stuff they have to eat. Feed spring
Victuals and give physical comfort, and
Vou will have eggs to eat If not to sell.
