Thorpe found the Hughes residence
without difficulty and turned up the
straight walk TO the veranda. On the
steps OF the latter rug had been
spread. A dozen youths and maidens
lounged on its soft surface. Thorpe,
as he approached the light from tall
lamp just inside the hall, hesitated
yainly trying to make out the figures
before him.
So 1t was that Helen Thorpe saw
him first and came fiuttering to meet
him.
"Oh. Harry! What a surprisey' she
cried, .ind flung her arms about his
neck to kiss him.
"How do you do, Helen?" he replied
sedately.
This was the meeting he had an

others brought out In him irresistibly

was so strong an element of his ca

A little chilled, Helen turned to in

Electricity Kills Bugs.

AS a Bavarian electrician, M. Hugo
Helberger, was experimenting on the
drying of an ingot mold in the ground
by means of the electric current, he
noticed that worms issued from the
ground near by, writhing as if in pain
and seeming to be in a great hurry to
get away. Following this up, he has
devised an apparatus to rid soil of
worms and noxious insects, by means
of which, by planting numerous brass
electrodes in the earth at proper in
tervals,. he has succeeded in driving
all crawling things from a consider
able space in a very brief time.

To Fasten a KICKING Cow.


A dairyman describes his method OF
tying the hind legs of a COW to prevent
kicking while being MIXED, as fol-
lows:
The method 1 shall describe is eff
fective and humane, and generally
only a few lessons are necessary to
convince the most unruly cow that
she must stand still while being
MIXED. 1 take a hame strap from a
harness, which is one inch wide and
about two feet long. Standing on the
right side of the COW, the strap is
taken by the buckle end on the left
and passed around the cows left hind
leg just over the gambrel; the end OF
the strap is brought back between the
cows legs, and is given one or two
turns around itself. 1t is then passed
in. front of the right leg, brought
around and securely buckled tight
enough SO it cannot be pulled down
over the joint, but not tight enough to
prevent the COW from standing com
fortably as long as she behaves her
self.
1.-THE COW is not so badly brighten.
ed with her legs confined in this way
as she is with one tied to the floor.
and it is impossible for her to kick

used she soon finds that being milk

after all, and gracefully submits"

IN GREAT DISTRESS
VOMITING SPELLS LONG RESIST
ED EVERY EFFORT TO

Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She
Thinks She Would Have Died But
For DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Mrs Sarah L. Brooks. of No As Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account OF her cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years on and on l was
treated in vain by different doctors
for relief from a stomach trouble
which showed itself in frequent and
trying spells of vomiting. Part of the
time l was able to work, and again
would be confined to bed for three or
four days in succession.
MY stomach was at times so deli
cate that it would not retain even
plain water. The spells would some
times occur at intervals of half an
hour, and would leave me so weak
that / would be compelled to lie down
between them. l would have several
OF them during the night following
a day of such attacks. Finally l be-
came so weakened that l had to give
up working altogether. / weighed only
ninety-fcur pounds.
Last January l read about DIR. Will
Hams' Pink Pills for Pale People in
one of the Chicago daily papers and
bought a box and began to use them.
After / had used half a box I found
that 1 could keep on my stomach the
food l ate l was encouraged by this
and kept on using the pills for four
months. At the end of that time the
vomiting spells had ceased altogether
and my weight went up to ZAP pounds
and is still growing.
Il think l surely would have died if
it had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, for l sometimes vomited clear
blood, and for three or four days at
time l could not eat a bite of any
thing One doctor said l had chronic
Inflammation of the stomach, and an
other said my difficulty was a cancer,
but none of their medicines did me
any good at all. Finally l concluded
that l did not have blood enough to
digest my food, and 1 began the treat
ment that has cured me. 1 can eat
anything now, and have strength for
all kinds of work. l always keep DR..
Williams Pink Pills on hand, and l
recommend them to my friends be-
cause L know they cured me-
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomachs and
strengthen the digestive organs until
they do their work perfectly. They
are sold by all druggists.

Arrangement That Is Both Useful
and Ornamental.
The hall is certainly more seen

since not only can no room be gained
without going through it. but the oc-

But at very small outlay an arrange

tect the hats and coats, and afford an
incident pleasing rather than other

twelve inches wide are the founda-
ton of the affair; they are connected

the headgear of the master of the
house, amply protected by the shelf
and the little silk curtain hanging
down in front. Below this shelf are
two side pieces, and under it a strong
lath is fitted, with brass hooks,
whence hang coats, probably both
masculine and feminine, for it is a
luxury to have an old wrap handy to
throw on before a turn in the garden.
A curtain of some handsome tapes

bits of old blue willow pattern, or odd
pieces of brass and copper work have
been stood on the top shelf the cree

out a thorn hedge. How far apart
should the plants be set?
The soil should be properly prepar
ed before planting the hedge. Every
thing else should be in good condi-
ton. The soil should then be turned
out into deep furrow where the hedge
is to stand and the plants should be
set in this and the soil drawn up to
them and firmly tamped about the
roots Of tho plants. The distance
apart which tie plants are to stand
will depend somewhat on the style of
the hedge. If a low small hedge is
wanted, as one most often sees in
England, the plants should be eight
or nine inches apart If the trees are
to be allowed to grow larger, say five
or six feet tall, the plants should be
set wider apart, not less than eight
cen inches.
