the aristocracy.
The Duchess Of MarIborouxh is
credited with possessing the hand

wealth and good luck, which are not

what 1t written upon them is a care

Unique in design and prettilv ur-

Duchess of Roxburghe. 1t Is heart

the book which serves the same pur-

The Duchess OF Manchester has a
confession book made OF satin, the
pages of which are beautifully decor

shrewdly surmised that some ofNher
confessions record ebullitions of tenn

Now what could be merrier and
more enchanting for our buds than
the presence of a warship within our
harbor? And that manned by brave
young gallants, mayhap, embryonic
naval heroes. But leaving the future
alone, think of the receptions, dinner
dances and all sorts of good times
aboard ship!" Really. the San Fran
cisco girl has many blessings. A sea-
port town offers the attractions just
mentioned and with standing army
at hand, too-well, it almost seems
like an embarrassment of riches. The

officers, among them: Midshipman

The debutantes, bless theml are up
10 their gladsome eyes in the mech
anism OF coming out" oh! such
roseate phantasies as dance before
their virginia. visions. Diaphanous
gowns and floating hats and a million
little things that are as dear to the
hearts OF the debutante as the famous
little mun Of Puccini was to Mimi And
best of all is their exquisite expec-
fancy, the radiant joy, with which
they face the future that must hold
IN its voracious NAV much that's un-
promising. But. such is the JOY Of
youth. Such is the JOY Of revelation,
and silence TO the tongue that would
put into leash one strain Of the joy
of anticipation
1t is this outcropping of buds each
year that subserves the same purpose
in society that the coming of grass
and blossoms OF early spring does for
nature. It revivifies the theory of
eternal growth, keeps the mind re-
freshed with new, sweet, spontaneous
thought and saves the world from
drifting into the dismal swamp of
pessimism.
For pessimism know of no panacea
so eficacious as a bright-eyed, high
spirited, expectant debutante. And
here's TO her! May her reign be one
of triumph; may she win the man
she loves, and may her place give way
next year to her budding younger sis
ter.
But should she be of bachelor bent
here's 70 her just the same, for her
presence is a happiness and her
friendship worth the holding.
But, bonny maids. beware! Before
you lie the unfolded mysteries of life
sn its infinite intricacies and beware
of the false note that lies in it, which
is naught else than sham, vulgar
sham. Avoid sham in all things and
your career must needs be a success,
for the absence Of sham is truth, and
In truth lies happiness and success.

he got into Hot and Cold Water when
ever he met Standish, so he sailed

In the spring there were so many
widowers and bachelors that the vo-
men were not Tempted to waste Time
and money in Matrimonial Agencies,
but only had to Decide Whom they
would Condescend TO Marry.
This Deciding Things troubled Pris-

her Teeth were Small and even as a

she had Red Hair.

John felt Better and told her how

Tangled up. She took a Step Toward
John. She Tipped up One Shoulder
and looked Down at him from the Cor
ner of her Eye. Her lips were Red.
why don't you Speak for Yourself,
John?" she said. Then John Took a
few Steps and her Thread Broke and
She Ran away.
But Myles Standish was Mad Clear
Through.
Well, the Pilgrims Worried through
the Summer, though there was Plenty
of Nothing but Prayer and Priyation.
"All Fasting and no Feasting makes
me Weary" said Governor Bradford,
so after the Harvest, in November, he
Ordered a Week of Feasting and
Thanksgiving. Massasoit and Ninety
Braves were Invited. just to show
them that the White Man Forgave the
Indians for Living.
The Indians came early and Brought
their Appetites. Most of the Pilgrims
were in Bed. Massasoit did not Ring
the Doorbells. He merely gave a few
Playful Warwhoops and his braves did
the Rest. The Pilgrims Got Up.
"a Dog does not Bite the Hand that
Feeds him." said the governor. Fly
around, girls. and get Breakfast"
This was the Bill of Fare:
Hasty Pudding, TreacIe.
Clam Chowder.
Cold boiled Yenison.
Turnips.
When the Guests Left the table there
wasn't Anything else left except the
Dishes, and not having Pockets, Mas
sasoit and his Braves did o Carry
Away the Spoons as Souvenirs.
Next Captain Standish had his Inn

Form. He marched his Army of Nine

an Army of Poor Cows.


One has but to look over the United
States census of milk production to be
convinced that we have ON our farms
a great army of very poor cows, as
well as a small army of good ones.
The army of poor cows outnumbers
the armJ of good ones, and that is the
reason that on the ordinary farm and
on the average the COW does not pay
for her feed. This is a remarkable
statement, but we have been unable
to find that it is false, much as we
would like to. The figures of the cow
population for the country approach
100000. OF this number at least
half should be disposed of as fast as
new cows can be put in their places.
With the poorer half out of the way
the farmer would make as much mon
ey as he does at the present time and
be relieved of half of the labor and
Il large share of the expense. When
the value of the labor saved was TAX
en- into consideration and added TO the
feed saved it would be found that the
change was equal to 4 profit instead
OF q loss.

Next day Standish walked out TO the
green Wheat Field on the hillside.
Rose Standish slept beneath it with
Fifty others from the Colony. Then he
thought of Priscilla Molines and the
way she Laughed ut the Men. Myles
Standish Groaned. Then he Thought
Out a Pretty Plan.
There was John Alden. John was a
big, soft-hearted Strawberry Blonde.
Priscilla Looked at him Frequently,
but he Never said Anything.
John and the Captain lived togeth-
er. Myles wasn't much for Size, but
he Didn't have his red beard for Moth
ing. and he Bossed John. John would
do Anything for him.
Myles went home and he said: John,
go and tell Priscilla Molines that l am
Ready to Marry her"
John nearly Fell to Pieces. He had
been trying for a Month to get his
Grit up and ask her for Himself. He
Gulped twice and said: Yes. sir
He TANNED his hands into his Hip
pockets and Started to the Elders
house. He Forgot his Hat.
Priscilla was Spinning. She asked
Were the Savages Coming? He said
he did not Know, he Hoped so, and
that Myles Standish was Ready to
Marry Her.

This was in December, 1920.
Then the Pilgrims landed and Took

not build a fence Around it the First
Season. for they had Something Else

Then Standish got Ready to make it

But there was so much Snow and Ice
that it vas too Big a Contract; besides,
Governor Carver said he was a man of
Peace, and there was No Proof that

The fatal disease of fowls, known as
cholera, is still about as speedy to kill
and as hard to cure as ever. But more
is being found out along that line year
by year. The process of curing or
making proof against the disease by
incubation, same as for smallpox in
human beings, has been tried success
fully, but is as yet hardly practical
for poultry keepers. Something may
be done in the way of prevention.
1t is suspected that the disease is
carried from yard to yard by such
birds as sparrows, and, possibly, also
by insects. Hence, in diseased neigh
borhoods anything that reduces the
opportunities of spread in such ways
is a protection. Care should be taken
that it is not conveyed from one yard
to another on the shoes of attendants.
Cleanliness and use of disinfectants is
always 4 preventative of all such dis
cases.
III case of an outbreak, about all
that amounts TO much in a practical
way is to instantly separate the sick
birds and kill them or keep them out
of the way, clean Up the premises, dis
infect with sulphate of copper in wa.
ter. 1t is a filth disease, same in this
respect as human cholera, and will
probably disappear if the time ever
comes when all poultry keepers are
forced by law or public opinion to keer
their fowls in a decent condition

this Time Massasoit decided that it
would be a Good Plan TO go deer Hunt

Priscilla sang, Il Don't Care if They
Never Come Back but they did. and
brought Deer and Turkeys and OyS-
